Okay so I went to the psych island for the mercy missionary badge and cannot seem to get out. I have clicked on every door but they all say I cannot enter, what am I missing? -
Quote:You are at the same disadvantage that those of us who were above X level when the Mayhem Missions were first introduced.Originally Posted by hardknight
Unsure if this has been discussed as yet.
Are we disadvantaged making the toon in Praetoria? Considering we cannot leave Preatoria till lvl 20.
We miss out on getting the temp powers from the atlas, kings row and possibly skyway mayhem missions,
and we need the Global Threat, King Maker and Road Raged exploration badges to qualify for the invader accolade.
The same could be said for Blueside bank missions.
Has anything been mentioned by developers regarding this??
Now I do realise we can team with people in range of those mayhems or use 2nd accounts to get those missions.
Seems to be an oversight to me. Any thoughts? -

Argh - you're right and I confused Angry Protestors w/ PPD based off the name (For some reason, I parsed the No Authority badge as being for killing protestors - should probably not read these things at 5 am).
It seems like you're supposed to by the curtain - am I parsing this wrong as well? -
Quote:Not sure why you're trying to get through the curtain...Originally Posted by Abe_Froman
First - thank you Snow Globe for collating all this info - it's fantastic and useful.
I do have a question about 2 of the new badges for Praetoria:
1) This morning I swam through Praetoria for the River Rat badge and when I finished I thought I'd try to go off-map to hit the sonic curtain and suicide express back to a hospital and pick up the Denial of Service badge as well. I was able to get to the curtain (off the western coast of Neutropia) and die/catch a free ride to the hospital, but there was no badge awarded. Is there a recommended place to try and go through the curtain or is there something else I'm missing?
2) I saw on Paragon Wiki that there is a defeat badge listed for killing Angry Protestors, but I've been killing them and have had no counter show up in my defeat badge list. Looking here, I don't see any info for it - was this pulled from the release (wasn't in the Beta, so I'm trying to badge hunt off of what info is on the net).
Thanks!
Also, what article about the protesters? I'm not finding anything, and there wasn't anything implemented for defeating the protesters. -
Quote:Pre-purchase was 29.99 from NCSoft. Complete Collection had an MSRP of $39.99Originally Posted by American_Angel
But the preorders have paid full price? It's rotten, no matter how you look at it.
Glad I didn't fall for the preorders, and anyone with a lick of sense should never do so again. -
Quote:No. You are at fault because you didn't read all the information.Originally Posted by American_Angel
Nevermind, they answered it:
What kind of crap is that? People are paying already for the expansion, and now CoH wants them to pay for the additional expansion items????
That is a total complete rip off. If I'm misunderstanding this, please let me know, but right now I'm thinking other games are looking much better now.
Consider this: What about the people that preordered thinking they would get ALL the GR content? That's called Bait and Switch and it is illegal.
If you bought the Complete Collection (physical box or digital copy), you get the item pack (and a free month of time).
If you pre-purchased the expansion from NCSoft, it was explained in the initial announcement that there would be two versions: the expansion, and the complete collection. It was also explained in the announcement that there would be a separate item pack available to those who wanted to prepurchase, but also wanted the ingame goodies (minus gametime) that the complete collection provided. -
So I had the rest of the badges (Overlord, Forged by Hellfire, Lorekeeper, and Coldhearted), and just earned Soul Taker on my Vigilante. Demonic was not awarded. Looks like that badge is still restricted to only being awarded to Villains (and assumedly Rogues).

Quote:But it's been from my experience that you can't earn all badges as a Vigilante. Take Villainous (AE badge) as an example. My (then hero) has done one or two villainous AE arcs in his time, but none during beta. Whenever I made the full switch, in the middle of getting all the accolades and gladiators I was expecting, this Villainous popped up. It still has a restriction that it won't award unless you are a Villain.Originally Posted by Vanden
According to the patch notes, and what I experienced in the beta, if you have the hero version of an accolade and switch to villain, you're automatically granted the villain version of that accolade and the hero version goes inactive. Now, a Vigilante is a Hero in most respects, so he has to use the Hero accolades. However, unlike the Hero, he can still earn the Villain versions, which I assume will automatically be disabled because he's still mostly Hero. I don't know exactly what'll happen, though, hence my question.
It still appears to work like this, as the same hero transitioned to Vigilante last night, but hasn't earned Villainous yet.
This (combined with my gleaned understanding of how I think things work with badges) is what is triggering that gut feeling that Demonic won't award as a villain. I'll give it a go tonight, to see if a Vigilante can earn, and then be awarded Demonic
-
Sounds like you just volunteered to try that one out
EDIT: Actually, thinking for a few, I'm guessing this one will be answered more along the lines of "Is Demonic granted to a Vigilante who earns all the prerequisite badges?" I could try this out tonight on my Vigilante, though he already has Eye of the Magus.
My gut says that Vigilantes are blocked from earning the accolade, though it's certainly something I'm willing to try. -
Quote:Some badges still require you to fully switch over to the other side before you are either granted the badge (Heroic/Villainous), or to see the Progress Bar (safeguard/mayhems sidemissions on tourists).Originally Posted by Blood_Beret
I know awhile back some villains were getting the badge from defeating Mary pets. So they turned off the villain access to the badge. I noticed there is no Progress Bar nor Place Holder. So is it just not showing but giving credit? or did they forget to let us get the badge?
-
My hero-now-vigilante badger picked up all the villain explore and history badges, then parked on the platform in Sharkhead. Also managed to pick up a couple of the defeat badges (Pirates, Hammerhead, and Strike Buster), too.
My Villain-gone-rogue made it into AP, collecting all the zone badges annd plaques (except the one on the way to RV) before I collapsed for the night. -
Quote:Made a Stand - I believe this is just for doing a morality mission, but I don't quite remember of the top of my headOriginally Posted by JumpinJack
Not 100% sure how these are earned:
* Made A Stand - You strove for what you believe in and, against all odds, came out on top. [I think this is use the morality system at all badge?]
* Agent Of Order/Chaos/Praetoria (Accolade) [I think this is an automatic badge for your native state?]
Agent Of Order/Chaos/Praetoria appears to be the badge you get for owning the expansion on the current account. -
Quote:Huh? I11? No physical product anywhere near that one. I'm guessing you mean 14, for the Architect Edition.Originally Posted by Pheonyx

Seriously, I have been going over the list of everything and the free portion of Issue 18 is quite underwhelming. First off, a majority of the "features" could very easily just have been added in as a patch without a tie in to the purchase. Seriously, they can merge the market at any time and additions are made to AE all the time outside of Issue releases, so making them "features" of the free portion of the issue is not exciting.
The CoP: even revamped, will people still need the base item to get the mission or will it be made as a contact outside of bases like Silver Mantis? If you still need bases, then this becomes a gated TF (gated in that you have to 1) Have a SG base and 2) Have the item that gives you the CoP within the base).
These Tip missions according to ViDoc 2 sound like they lead to these Morality missions which then set you up to switch alignments somehow (which is only available to do if you buy GR, since Ghost Falcon said you cannot side switch without purchasing GR)... is it just me, or does this sound like a variation of the scanner/paper mission setup but once your bar's full you can't get the Safeguard/Mayhem mission until you pony up the cash? So in other words, you're progressing to nowhere until you pay $30-$40?
In comparison to other free issues released in conjunction with a new physical product, I18: Shades of Gray is the smallest and least impressive of them all, and probably ranks near the very bottom of all free issues in terms of overall content.
As for those free Issues tied to physical products, the scale right now is this in terms of content:
I6 > I11 > I18
Ashes to ashes,

when I go there it seems to be some kind of site with a dozen links to PL-ing sites, and other shady crap. Does this site still exist?
Fear not! Before he this happened, he gave The Titan Network an copy of his site, which we have posted at http://tomax.cohtitan.com/. We were also given the ability to update our copy of City of Data, so that it has power updates through I17. -

That's not exactly what I am looking for.
I am wanting to examine how the powers change on a Mids' build as the build exemplar's down.Which is why I also linked City of Data, and pointed out that you can select the level of the power from there, and have it do the work for you.Quote:Originally Posted by SaintNicster
Modifiers based on level difference are available here.
Other formulas are a bit more wishy washy to me (personally), but there is always the option of going to City of Data for the unenhanced values. There's a drop-down on the individual page for a power to change the level. -

I couldn't find it on the wiki
I know that a lvl 1 does less dmg than a lvl 50. but what is the formula for figuring damage? And is it the same both for leveling up as well as exemplaring down?

Quote:So I just tried logging into CIT in IE. It appeared to just refresh the page. However, if I clicked any of the other pages, I appeared to be logged in correctly. You may need to force a refresh on the homepage for this to show up.Originally Posted by Jetpack
Anyone having problems logging into the Titan Network?
I've tried resetting my password twice now, and it just won't let me log in.
I've checked the embarassing things like Caps lock and Num lock, so wondering if it is a issue with them and if anyone else has seen it.
Thanks!
Edit - Now it Works! Just needed to post, I guess.
Edit 2 - Now I can't get in again. I've been able to log in twice, but I lose it again quickly. Sounds like odd issues going on over there. I'll give it a bit of time, I think.
Edit 3 - Issue with both IE and Opera. However, my tie in from HeroStats is working fine, per the program check.
As for the actual error, I'll look behind the scenes to see what is happening. We haven't changed anything with those pages in a while. -

Quote:Mids (the original designer) is also British. He does 'odd' grammatical things like thatOriginally Posted by Sailboat
Well that's weird. I haven't use Mids', but I understand it's player-designed and it's been updated pretty regularly. Why would global recharge be called "Haste" on the display? "Hasten" is a power, and that's likely to cause confusion -- and what was wrong with the (as far as I know, universally used) term "Recharge?" If it's a space consideration, why not "Rechg" (which has the same number of characters as "Haste")?
