  1. Dr. Graves has one of the best lines in the game.

    Zone PvP

    I was in RV on a villain over the weekend, helping someone beat up the Signature Heroes for the badges. I actually saw someone not on our team - a hero. He sent me a tell, commenting that he hadn't seen anyone in there in a while. He was there to capture pillboxes.

    We had a nice chat about the history of the pillboxes and heavies and our experiences in getting our badges.

    tl;dr version: Not RV.

    Quite true.

    Absolutely false. This was not about random trial and error. It was about experimentation and feedback (the 'score' based on the energy required to achieve a particular configuration). The scientists had already tried and failed using 'brute force' processing power (the Rosetta@home software). They needed actual people with spatial comprehension.

    I think this was a poor decision. Wouldn't it make sense for the tutorial to teach you how the hospital works?

    Yeah, but you're going to try to persuade us anyway, aren't you?

    I've said before in this thread I think some of the prices are reasonable and others are horrendously overpriced and guilty of price gouging (like costume slots #6 - #10 for $10 each).
    How about if I just ignore you and believe what I want to believe?

    Yeah, that's ridiculous to . . . um . . .
    I dropped $100 on points yesterday.
    I'm a loser.

    Base Bugs in I21

    You see, I like to organize the items in my storage containers. (In particular, I like to group IO sets.) After I21, that order was re-arranged automatically, jumbling the items in a haphazard way.

    I tried to re-arrange the items and restore my preferred ordering... but, nooooooooo! The items automatically snapped back into the post-I21 order! There was nothing I could do to change the haphazard, automatic ordering!
    I know, right? Darn those crazy devs and their haphazard *ALPHABETICAL* sorting. What madness will they introduce next???

    If you mean there is no dev who is 'the base person', that's probably true. If you mean no devs at all ever work on bases, you're mistaken.

    It makes perfect sense and it's a widespread practice. It's not poor business and it's certainly not insane. Of course, there are all just hyperbolic ways of saying that you don't care for it.

    No, you didn't. You got 4 Prestige Sprint powers that all start with "Prestige Power" but you did NOT get Prestige Power SLIDE.

    They all do exactly the same thing - make you run faster (and all at the same speed). But each has different visual effects.
  13. I definitely use them. They're like SOs at level 1. Since they're as good as SO's, I don't replace them until I slot IOs for set bonuses around level 35.

    Someone commented in another thread (and I agree) that if someone 'stole' your name, get their global and petition. If they just happened to get a cool name first, tough on you. But if they are camping a dozen 'high profile' names and have a dozen people file petitions on them . . . well, that looks like a pretty strong indication of deliberate harassment to me.

    Just my opinion, but if I had an oddball name like Grim Grey Snorkler and it was already taken, I'd assume it was deliberate. If you were trying for a name like 'Midnight' (which a friend of mine actually has on one server), you're out of luck.
  15. I'm of two minds on this:
    1) Having already bought everything else available, I have nothing else to do with the Astrals.
    2) But what if they add more stuff to buy?

    The only problem is that the new password must conform to the new password rules. My original password does not have numbers in it. I'll wait for them to fix it.

    The badge requires inflicting 10% damage. The merits appear not to have any restriction at all. At one GM fight, I got there late and hit the GM ONCE. I got the merits but not the badge.

    Bingo. Even after spending a ton of time out of SG mode for the influence badges, my badger is almost to 4 million prestige (without buying any). I'm not inclined to start over.

    Yeah, if there's any chance at all that you might need more than one per month, buy it. You rarely see a 90% off sale.
  21. Realistically, it doesn't matter. You can post here to see if other people are having the problem. You should really file a /bug report in-game to get the information to the correct people. Or, send Zwillinger a link to this thread so he can bring it to the attention of the proper department.

    That's the key phrase. Another hero standing right next to you will see different NPC's and enemies in the area - unless they are on your team and a mission is active, then everyone sees the same thing.

    Then it looks like you only get the 150 bonus once. Non Tier 9's got 1600.

    BTW, my current total is . . . wait for it . . . OVER NINE THOUSAND ! ! ! !
