By the way, "PVP->Risk Taker - Most Wanted" should really be in the mission badges.

Quote:Well, that I can tell you. The Praetorian badges are not the same as the Primal Earth equivalent. They fill the same function, but they are different badges as far as the game is concerned.Originally Posted by TheUnnamedOne
- Some Badges (like "V.I.P./Destined One" = 'DVDEdition') have a Praetorian equivalent (like "Praetoria's Son/Daughter" = 'P_DVDEdition') that appears to be a completely different badge but I don't know if characters can actually get both. I have included both the COH/V and the Praet version in the menus until I figure out how this works
I caught that after your edit.Quote:Originally Posted by TheUnnamedOne
So far, I have not used anything related to "settitle" at all. It's not really the main focus of the tool. It uses the "internal" badge titles which are different from the ones the player sees and do not change when badges change or new ones are added.
The "internal" badge name is the same for Hero or Villain and I did put both in the visible display. There are some Praetorian specific badges that have unique internal names. I'm not quite sure how that works yet.
I may add SetTitle functions in the future, but not until I find a good way to automate the SetTitle<-->BadgeName linking inside the PopMenu files. -
Interesting use of the Popmenu command. Did you take into account the hero/villain differences in badge names?

To those that have left Paragon Studios, you have my best wishes for your careers.
For those still at Paragon Studios, you have my best wishes for continued employment on this great game. I hope things don't get as bad as they did after Issue 6. -

Dumb question, but do you think this includes Trial Zones as well? It's a dumb question, but at this point, is there really that much of a difference between Trial and Hazard Zones? Both types of zones are very big and mostly unused, it would be fitting if they added more exploration badges to both zones. *shrugs*

Quote:There was an exploit that allowed players to use the Tutorial to make 5 choices before going to Nova Praetoria. To combat it, the developers removed the credit from the tutorial choice.Originally Posted by SoftRogue
Actually, here's a question. Shouldn't the choice made if you run through the tutorial be counting as one of the 5 choices?
I was just wondering since I got a toon ready to lvl to 20 and she has the mission to go to the portal (I ran a straight Loyalist Powers) and she only has three and I know the fourth is when you chose where you want to go.
I made two toons on test and ran them quickly through the tutorial (one Loyalist and one Resistance), and neither got credit for the choice from it.
Is this WAI? If it is, then it's a bit misleading since it is a choice you make in the during your characters play. -
The group I was with tonight almost made it. I still need to go over the demofile, but I think Positron debuffed Vanden and another Hero (likely Manticore, BABs, or States) finished him off despite healers focusing on Vanden. We had 3 tanks, a kin, a rad/rad, a fortunata, and 2 emps.
Grats to the other team though: Sayaki, Taryn, and Bluebella all got the Master badge with help from Otelo, Az, Tam, and I don't know who else. -
Quote:Actually the game asks you after you have completed the mission to make absolutely, positively sure that you want to change alignments.Originally Posted by Lemur Lad
The tip you're looking for once you complete 10 is a Vigilante Morality Mission. Once you complete that, the change is automatic.
After you are a vigilante, you can continue to do tips in Paragon if you want to remain a vigilante or turn back to being a hero. If you want to become a villain, then you will have to head to the Rogue Isles and do tips there. -
I hope you have a happy birthday Troll!

Quote:You might want to look in the "Summary/Notes" column... Just saying.Originally Posted by Blue_Centurion
I still do not see the listings of these missions on that page, other than to note at the bottom what are badge missions for villians. (Specifically not up above in the missions available by level/contact)
For instance, if you look at "There's a Sucker Born Every Minute" in the summary/notes column it says "6 Door Missions (1 Defeat All), 1 Hunt, Includes badge mission for Paragon of Vice."
The information is there.
That is the same page everyone is pointing to.Quote:Originally Posted by Lothic

That link lists the mission links you need.
Good luck.

This is the page I am on. But thank you for confirming this. I will ensure I do the efficiency expert arc in real time.
Efficiency Expert is the only badge that you can't flashback to in one form or another. It is a one-chance badge. -

Yeah, the final mission was a problem.We didn't have 2 tanks for this run (I wish we did though).Quote:Originally Posted by PC_guy
I don't know why. 4 emps is the most OP thing in the game. theres no point in doing anything with 4 emps. and you had 2 tanks. and i know for a fact that 2 of those emps were defebcer emps. what on earth made any mission a problem for that absolutely broken team make up?
What we did have for the run last night:
1. White Succubus (Ill/Emp Controller) @Snow Globe
2. Powerthrust (Inv/SS Tank) @Vanden
3. War Wench (Emp/Psi Defender) @Taryn
4. -Michael (Ill/Storm Controller) @ Sayaki
5. Kay Parfait (Ice/Emp) @Kay Parfait
6. Radz (Rad/Rad Corr) @Ninja Navok
7. Anduil (Fire/Emp Controller) @Anduil
8. Tetujin (Rad/Rad Defender) @Justaris
The first attempt went off without problems until Mynx accidentally got aggro. The second attempt the temporal distortions caught one of us off guard. We decided to use the second run to see "what if" because several of us had to get up early. 25 of the 33 deaths were in the last mission.
As someone else put it, the "M" in MRSF isn't supposed to mean meat grinder.

Quote:This isn't a bug, it is a suggestion.Originally Posted by Janlee
I noticed this in beta, and had submitted it then, but after taking several live characters to the other side I have to re-mention:
I can't see the harm of what the game does.Quote:Originally Posted by Janlee
1. Situation: At level 10 every character is introduced to the "Invention Tutorial". Be it CoH, CoV, or even now GR, at level 10 you get the introduction. So, after level 20, when you can start getting tips and switching alignments, why are you re-introduced to the invention tutorial. It isn't an "new contact" intro, but it shows up when you go into the zone (Steel Canyon or Cap).
1. Answer: If you have the invention tutorial badge, the new alignment tutorial contact does not show up.
I can't see the harm of what the game does.Quote:Originally Posted by Janlee
2. Situation: The "Origin of Power" arc should not be re-introduced as a new contact if you already have the badge for "Origin of Power".
2. Answer: Do not introduce alignment source for "Origin of Power" if alignment is switched/changed.
I can't see the harm of what the game does.Quote:Originally Posted by Janlee
3. Situation: Heroes get the into to "Midnight Club" at level 10 while villains get it at level 30.
3. Answer: If the character has the explore badge that is within the Midnight Club, the new alignment arc is not available.
Absolutely not. It is a "what if" or alternate time line for the character.Quote:Originally Posted by Janlee
And, on a side note. If a character started in Praetoria, Rogue Isles, or Paragon... when going the Ouroboros Arc, it should reflect the original origin of the character. Nothing against those badge hunters that want "Isolator" or "Jail Bird", but if you started as a hero or villain, an alignment shift should not affect which mission you get as a flashback level 1. -

thats good cuz 4 would be too many. or OP.
Yeah, the final mission was a problem. -

Master of Barracuda SF success.

6. Turbo Starr (Scrapper) @Turbo Starr
7. Union Jax (Elect/* Tank) @Jax
8. Frost King Jr. (I think that was his name and global)
It took nearly three hours (not including me being 20 minutes later than I though I'd be). We patiently dealt with the ambushes while Powerthrust occupied Reichs. War Wench was on keeping Powerthrust alive. I managed to keep an eye on both of them while getting help to avoid dieing myself.
I want to repeat that I'm willing to help out with any Master runs that I can. I'm usually available after 8pm pacific any day of the week. If you give me a couple days notice, I can try to be on a bit earlier, except on Mondays, Wednesdays, or Fridays. Send me a PM on the forums, or just ask me in game. -

Quote:Yes, binds/macros free up more abilities.Originally Posted by Fusion_7
I guess in saying "why" people would use macros or binds would be to maybe "free-up" more available slots or more available buttons and/or keys, would that be a correct assumption?
Lets take the regular numberpad.
Binds would allow 16 commands to the basic numberpad:
Numpad0
Numpad1
Numpad2
Numpad3
Numpad4
Numpad5
Numpad6
Numpad7
Numpad8
Numpad9
Numpadenter
Decimal
Subtract
Add
Multiply
Divide
Then you can change those actions by using Shift+, Control+, and Alt+. Those 16 keys become 64 extra keys.
If you use something like the 1st gen G15, the G11, or the G510 keyboards from Logitech, you have 3 "banks" of 18 extra keys. So you have a number pad right at you left hand. -
Quote:Yes, got it doing multiple Cap SFs.Originally Posted by Noyjitat
Has anyone obtained this badge recently? I'm wondering it its either A broken or B not obtainable by heroes that have become villains using the alignment system due to some sort of bug.
No, there is a fine point were you get a lot of LTs, but not a lot of bosses.Quote:Originally Posted by Noyjitat
I guess I could know for sure if we would finally be able to track progress towards gladiator badges
Anyone else having problems with the badge? Because I'm sure that I've easily killed over 200 of these.
Perhaps the number is higher than 200?
I agree that having progress meters on defeat X gladiator badges would be very nice to have. -
Quote:Using inspirations on yourself doesn't count, and never has. Using inspirations on your mastermind pets DO count, and always has. The person I was responding to was claiming that inspirations used on their own characters (scrappers) counted. It doesn't.Originally Posted by Gaia
They're certainly not intended to do so if you click them, whether they do if you use them on pets I don't know but would imagine that should be allowed.
As someone with an Illusion/Empath controller that has been active for nearly the last 5 yearrs, I can verify that critters healing imaginary damage doesn't count either.Quote:Originally Posted by Gaia
I suspect the imaginary damage from Illusion may also count when it wears off - assuming you haven't killed the target of course. -
Quote:I would say it is far more likely that the developers wanted to low-ball the rewards so that if they had to lower the rewards there wouldn't be a huge outcry of "Nerf!"Originally Posted by White Hot Flash
This is a social game, whether you like it or not, and when doing things that require being social, the rewards become more about being with fellow players and accomplishing something hard, rather than some sort of payment. If this wasn't the intent of the Devs with the CoP in it's current form, they wouldn't have set the reward so low in the first place.

I've been a big fan of the Logitech G-Series for years now. I'm still using a first gen G15 (18 extra keys on the left side). If you don't want the LCD, then the G11 would be great if you can find it.
The simplest way to use the extra keys is to set them as shift-numpad for bank one, ctrl-numpad for bank two, and alt-numpad for bank 3. The included software helps set up the extra keys.
