When I zone they also like to become NPC's. -.-

And Colleen Saramargo, Jake Montoya, Maggie Greene, and Wyatt Anderson will give you the mission with the 'box of parts' called "Get a sample of the Clockwork piston."

When we do have them all in an area, will the teleport pad recognize this and allow us to create a beacon? Or will the workshop recognize it and allow us to create one?

Lastly, does ONE SG member have to have all of the badges, do ALL of the SG members have to have them, or can the SG members each have only SOME of the badges as long as the SG as a whole has the badges?

Thanks for your help!

Of course, this most likely counts as an unsupported configuration, so make use of the following at your own risk. It works for me, but you should be aware of the caveats.

• You don't automatically download new patches. The game will kick you out when you try to log in a character if you are out of synch with the server.
• You don't automatically download pre-staged art and other content the devs sometimes release ahead of major patches.

One of the reasons I like to use this is it's much faster to restart. This is especially true after a game crash, because skipping the patcher skips validating your game files. Note: my system has never failed a game file validation. If you have situations where your game files are known actually fail validation you probably don't want to use this trick. You probably do want to figure out why that's happening - you may have a virus or a failing hard drive. If you use this trick and your game will not restart after a crash, run to the patcher to try to validate/fix your files.

So exercise judgment before following me off a cliff.

Shortcut Values
Target: "<GameInstallPath>\CityOfHeroes.exe" -project Coh <otherSwitches>
Start In: ""<GameInstallPath>"

Example From My System
Target: "D:\City of Heroes\CityOfHeroes.exe" -project Coh -maxinactivefps 5
Start In: "D:\City of Heroes"
