Quote:The official name used was "Universal Enhancement Slots".Originally Posted by Aett_Thorn
The Devs have hinted that they want to create a system where characters can advance beyond level 50 without attaining new levels. How this will work, we're not really sure. However, we have been told that it will be highly unlikely to involve new slots for powers or new powers.
We might get 'global' enhancement slots, or something along those lines, but we don't really know.
The current theory is that the new salvage showing up in WW and the BM are for crafting these Universal Enhancements, and that they will be a part of Going Rogue, since the flavor text on some of the salvage references Praetoria.
My guess would be that "Universal Enhancements" would function like set bonuses; each one grants a global bonus, rather than enhancing a specific power. -

I meant the in-game channel for VB but I got onto the VB facebook group easily. Thanks for the response!
Victory Badges is full. Nobody can join unless someone leaves.
Victory Badges 2009 is the overflow channel. New people generally go there.
The original intent was that everyone abandon VB and go to VB2k9, but LOTS of people "stayed in old VB just in case something formed there", and then just continued their regular activity in VB, mostly out of habit. End result is that the busier channel is the one that new people can't join. :/ -

Quote:Also note that there's two contacts for the event: DJ Zero and a faction-specific contact that introduces you to DJ Zero. The mission with the demons is from the villain-only contact. That means that if someone says they have the "Valentine misson" when the event isn't running, it's DJ Zero's mission and not the one you need.Originally Posted by Ironblade
And please note: in order to get the redside CoT to spawn for the mission, a villain must enter the mission first.

Quote:That would be correct. Unfortunately, VB seems a little more active than VB2k9, but that's usually random chatter. Most teams get announced in both, so you aren't missing out on teams by only having one.Originally Posted by Destrukt
The Victory Badges channel is full but I'd assume the 2009 channel is not. I'll have to check into that.
While I don't use Victory Forum often, it is still a good channel for finding teams and TFs - by all means check out that one too! Just as a warning: The last time I was in VF, it was set to auto-silence all new members, because the RMT spammers were joining and flooding the channel with ads. If you're auto-silenced, find a channel mod, and send them a /tell and they'll unsilence you.
Welcome back, and welcome to Victory!
Wait... "Victory Badges of Facebook"? I was sure I had typed "on"... No more posting that late for me! -
Quote:I haven't run a STF in ages, since long before the "STF is broken!" complaints began, but this part stands out to me. The claim that STF was broken started around the same time that melee range got changed from 5' to 7'. Two feet may not seem like much, but think about the impact it had on melee characters - such as hover scrappers being able to get into melee range with /follow, and not needing to tap forward to get a bit closer, or being just a bit easier to get an extra enemy or two into Sands of Mu. If the repairman heal was melee range, and it received the standard buff, they may be healing "more" simply because it's easier for them to get into range before they're killed.Originally Posted by The_Masque
remember bonfire does minimal damage but has a huge KB, so if you don't actually defeat the repairmen they will get their heal off. Who knows maybe they have some range now to it and its not a point blank heal.
I have found (oh good lord, im going to be accused of lording again) that if you stand where they spawn each tower has a specific spawn point with 2 damage auras (even WoC works) the ticks will overlap enough to prevent them from getting off their heals (most of the time) yes they may get 1-3 off per tower but that is nothing like it used to be a month ago when every heal was hitting.
Does anyone know the [power name] for the heal they use? It may be worthwhile to check ingame and see if it did indeed have its range buffed. -
Quote:Not hating. I'm just not an active member of that channel, and I am semi-active on Victory Badges, so I chose that name.Originally Posted by Elegost
hating on Victory Forums. silly canadian
Members of Victory Forums are more than welcome in the group; in fact, anyone on Victory is welcome, although if they don't read the forums, or aren't in the VB channel, they probably will never know. -
For those of you who are active on Facebook, and are members of the "Victory Badges" or "Victory Badges 2009" channels, there is a new Facebook group, which can be found at http://tinyurl.com/mku3za !
If you AREN'T a member of those channels, and still would like to share photos/screenshots and stories, form teams and TFs, or anything else related to Victory, Badges, or CoH, you're still welcome to join! -
Quote:If I remember my redname posts, the reason pets don't zone with their caster is that, due to this same bug, they forget who their summoner is and become hostile NPCs.Originally Posted by macskull
No, it does both.
To nitpick - you can only slot one type of stealth IO in a given build, but the effect granted can actually stack when you zone (i.e. activate the power with the IO in it, then load into a new zone - when you zone through, you'll have the IO double-stacked for about 120 seconds). That's certainly not intentional but it has to do with the way buffs are tracked across zones - the system still sees the buff on you after you zone, it just doesn't remember who it came from. This is the same reason buffs like Fortitude or the Cold/Sonic/FF/Therm shields will stack from the same caster if your target zones between castings.
Issue 16 has fixed this, and pets will be zoning with their casters. I wouln't be surprised if stealth IOs, Numina/Miracle/Regenerative Tissue uniques, "Doesn't stack from same caster" powers and others like these are all fixed so they can't be reapplied by zoning, either before i16, or soon afterwards.
If that's the case, I'll miss entering missions with 1:30 of 2-6 Numina's Unique bonuses on me. >_> -
Quote:They just need to add a popup which has you check the reason(s) for quitting:Originally Posted by Ironblade
But if they went quietly, it wouldn't be a nerdrage quit, would it?
[_] Badge changes
[_] Power changes
[_] PVP changes
[_] Base/SG changes
etc...
Make it so the devs can customize it based on the most recent patches. Do NOT include a "fill in your reason" field, so the RMT spammers can't use it.
Whenever someone uses the command, it sends a global /tell to EVERYONE with their global and reason, so that everyone knows who and why. And since it's a global tell, it's delivered at login to anyone who wasn't online when it happened!
Oh, and the account should be permabanned if this command is used, so it can't be reactivated, and of course it shouldn't work for trials. -
On the other hand, paying in-game currency (ie, Influence/Infamy) for powerlevelling services seems to be totally acceptable, provided that the powerlevelling doesn't make use of exploits or other actions that are against the TOS and/or EULA.

They probably wouldn't do this, because you could use those emotes to spoof a different powerset in a PVP zone, just like you can't turn off certain FX in i16 because there needs to be a visual indication that certain buffs are in place.
But we do need access to more of the emotes that NPCs use. -

This is a veteran reward, unobtainable for characters otherwise, so this may not work for everyone.
Still needs the piece of straw, like the cigar option though. -
Quote:There's your problem. Most brutes suck at the low levels. Give it a bit, things will get better.Originally Posted by Neg_rogue
Currently I'm lvl 13
Electric Armor has a bad rap, and it is a fragile one, but when i16 goes live and you get the self-heal, things will get much better.
Also, when you get some sets, stacking some Defense with the resist will go a long way.
EDIT: Oh, and those teams that expect you to tank on an electric brute? They're dumb. Stone, Invuln, Willpower - those brutes are for tanking. Elec is there to dish out damage. -
I'm assuming that that's the standard "I want an all-punch fire melee with no swords!" request.
I'd like to see alt animations for both fire and ice melee, giving elemental "fist blades", much like Psylocke's "Psi daggers". But whether or not that happens, we'll have to wait and see. -

I was planning on saying that. The Freakspec is very popular for XP runs on Victory.

Quote:You don't have to complete the Mayhem to get the contact, but you have to try. If you say "No, thanks", you will never get a new contact.Originally Posted by dragonslay
I am trying to unlock Hard Case HardLuck and Viv Verandi through the broker, but the broker is being uncooperative. Do I need to complete the rob bank mish to unlock the contacts? Is there any way to get the contacts without running the safeguard and having thousands of Longbow kill me repeatedly?
Say "yes", enter the mission, leave the mission, go make a sandwich, and come back in 15 minutes. When the mission fails, you will still get a contact.
If you find yourself mobbed by Longbow in Mayhems, there are two things you can do to help.
1> Watch for ambushes. If you see a word bubble or NPC chatter saying "Halt in the name of Longbow!", or if you get "30 seconds for resisting arrest" when you didn't defeat a full group of PPD, STOP and wait for the ambush.
2> If you fly, STAY AT GROUND LEVEL. If you super jump, run instead, or limit yourself to short bunny hops, no higher than 1 story high. There are a few to several (depending on which map you're on) mid-air triggers that spawn a" Longbow Eagle Death Squad" - a larger than normal ambush of all Longbow Eagles, that gives NO warning that they're coming. An unexpected visit from the LEDS is usually a bad thing. -

Hi Ryxx,
Whatever u do, do it well. good luck.
Oh, wait, that's noob, not ossim.
Good luck, Ryxx!
PS: Read this thread and send an email to get those goofy underscores removed from your name! There's no longer a five character minimum to names. Unless you like having the underscores. Then, carry on. -
Well, on every other MMO I've looked into, the PTS was the "Private Test Server". The name seems a little odd here, since you don't need to apply for, and be approved to get onto the test server. Maybe here it's a "Public Test Server"?

She's a repeatable contact, like the Police Scanner/Newspaper. You'll run into others in the Rikti War Zone, Cimerora, and the Shadow Shard.
She's just there to get you up to the next level when you don't want to do any of your current contacts. No bug or glitch involved.
And she never gives a new contact. -
Quote:Most likely, he didn't hit shift at all. In fact he probably doesn't even have a shift key.Originally Posted by GATE-keeper
Let Me Make Sure That I'm Doing This Correctly:
Hold Down <Shift>.
Type First Letter Of First Word.
Release <Shift>.
Type Rest Of First Word.
Hit <Space>.
Hold Down <Shift>.
Type First Letter Of Second Word.
Release <Shift>.
Type Rest Of Second Word.
Hit <Space>.
Hold Down <Shift>.
Type First Letter of Third Word.
Release <Shift>.
Type Rest Of Third Word.
Hit <Space>.
That seams so much more efficient than:
Hold down <shift>.
Type first letter of first word.
Release <shift>.
Type rest of first word.
Hit <space>.
Type second word.
Hit <space>.
Type third word.
Hit <space>.........
I used to browse and post from my cell phone. It would automatically capitalize the first letter of every word. It took FIVE extra keystrokes PER WORD to make it NOT capitalize each word.
It may be normal for people to be jerks on the internet, but it really isn't necessary. -

Have a level 50 db/sr and bs/wp scrappers. The DB is a lot more fun, plus the animations are really nice. Damage and aoe's seem to be a bit better then the BS as well.

If you've played other MMOs, you probably know of Supergroups as "guilds". And the links giver earlier in the thread have everything you need to know.
