Someone really needs to look at those COV family though. The untouchable badge requires CoH Family bosses, they are sparsely scattered in missions and in Nerva, and some of the Family bosses in Nerva give credit towards gangbuster instead. Ask Phil and the people that place mobs to look at the family bosses for Marcone in the description (placed mobs in Nerva and Sharkhead). Also when the rewards were removed from the infamous family farms, the family bosses lost all progress towards the Untouchable badge.

[/ QUOTE ]
I really agree with this. Ideally, Untouchable should be made unavailable for villains, all Family bosses would count for Gangbuster, and the weapon options that unlock for Untouchable would also be available for Gangbuster.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sure, lets take badges away from people that worked hard to earn it, so you don't have to. Clearly we have different definitions of "ideal". lol

[/ QUOTE ]
Um, where did I say that those that earned it should have it taken away? Or for that matter that I haven't earned mine?

I'v been through 2 dbl xp weekends and can't remember but is Prestige dbl'ed also?

Yes it is, as is Influence/Infamy.

Is there information about stopping your leveling so you don't pass by content?

[/ QUOTE ]
You mean the new feature where you can choose to gain no XP with a switch in your Options menu? I'm sure that will be in the patch notes.

Would lowering the badge requirements temporarily to say 3-4 still have the same impact on issue 13 date?

[/ QUOTE ]
I'd really support this if doable. If the spawn rate is not-as-intended, then lowering the requirements would be fine compensation.

Otherwise, I think this event has been a lot of fun.

Im sorry but what exactly is this trial? Ive never played, nor know of anyone that has. What villain groups are in it? hoiw long is it?

Details plz

Here you go.

Hey Posi (or whoever is in command of these Day Jobs)...

Hearing all the clamoring about 30 days OFFLINE being too long to acquire a Day Job Badge...

And going off your quote of... [ QUOTE ]
And the 30 days is what we are initially going with. The values may change in beta.

[/ QUOTE ]

Would this be a possible happier medium for casual and hardcore gamers (and is it possible)?...

For every ONE second logged off... you get ONE second towards the Day Job badge (based on where you logged at)

For every TEN seconds logged in... you get ONE second towards the Day Job badge of your last log out location?

So, in 4 hours of Log Off... you'd get 4 hours towards badge...
And in 4 hours of Log In... you'd get 24 minutes towards the badge...

Just a suggestion to NOT promote NOT playing CoX and your favorite toon (especially if they are a badge hunter)...

[/ QUOTE ]
The RP element of this is that when you are online, your character is a superhero. When you're not online, your character still is "doing stuff". Clark Kent is writing his next article. Peter Parker is studying for an exam.

I know you're trying to find a happy medium between competing interests, but this really isn't "a reward for not playing".

[ QUOTE ]

Now I admit I havent taken much of an interest in this whole "day jobs" but that sounds very much like being rewarded for NOT playing your characters.....

[/ QUOTE ]
But you can only take advantage of the buffs/temp powers of the Day Jobs by playing your characters.

As someone said, the rewards you get by playing the game far, far outweigh the rewards for not playing.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
I don't agree with this at all. That said, it seems to me that there should be an option to "opt out" of Day Job rewards for folks who don't want to participate.

[/ QUOTE ]

There is an opt out option (except for the Patrol XP), don't log out in a 'Job Area' .

[/ QUOTE ]
There appears to be a least a few folks who don't even want that reward.

[ QUOTE ]

But regardless, giving rewards away for not playing is a weak and desperate tactic that I had hoped CoH/V would have been bigger than. I don't blame the developers for the &lt;more bleeping!&gt;-up that is Day Jobs; I blame marketting.

[ QUOTE ]

Badgers are collectors. Setting this system up the way it is is bound to feel punishing to that personality type.

[/ QUOTE ]
This makes a lot of sense to me. Let's dump the whole mechanic that gives a little bonus to folks, something else to do in the game, and throws the RPers a bone, because it may interfere with a few folks' obsessive compulsion.

I wouldn't mind if the amount of time to earn the badge is reduced, but to me this is like getting something for nothing. There's no downside.

After reading Positron's message several times and analyzing in thoroughly, I've come to a conclusion.


It's not in haiku.

Have Pool C drops on story-arcs done through Oroboros that have a length of 6 missions or higher and at least 4 team members.

[ QUOTE ]
Reality check: Incoming. Creating content: Expensive. Reusing events: Economical. Subscription fees: Not raised. Developers: Caffeinated. Badgers: Appeased. Downside: Minimal.

Gratz, and nice clip!

Thanks, that is all.
