Going Rogue Badges
After Issue 19, the only badge that might be hard to get is Avid Reader (Tutorial badge) and it will likely be available via flashback.
There are no mission badges in Praetoria. Until Issue 19, the explore badges/accolades are Praetorian only. The Resistance, Loyalist, and Moral High Ground are currently Praetorian only. A few of the defeat badges are currently Praetorian only.
After Issue 19, existing characters will be allowed into Praetoria to get the badges, so there really isn't any "one chance only" badges in Praetoria. -

Maybe it's not just a Dev trick to get us to accidentally re-buy Booster Packs.
Maybe they figure it'll motivate us to buy one of everything so we don't HAVE to know which ones we don't have.
The serial codes are exactly that: serial codes. While it doesn't take a genius, it takes effort to properly label codes with the name of the booster/code in question in the database. The game knows the difference. I know that college students can do better than to label each booster as "Perk".
This range or hash of serials = Wedding pack
This range or hash of serials = Cyborg pack
This range or hash of serials = Magic pack
This range or hash of serials = Natural pack
This range or hash of serials = Science pack
And so on. -
Nope, there is nothing to say that you haven't touched "X" plaque. This is why I tend to do one zone at a time.

Great info, but i am not sure if found any info understanding the mission part.
Lets assume My character is a hero and did the Morality mission and i picked to be Vig.
What would happen to the missions I have, not the tip mission, but the good old farm missions such as Battle Mainden and all. Do i get to keep those or would they carry over with me or I will lose them, or they would purge?
Thanks much in advance.This is correct, as long as the mission still exists. If you are keeping an untimed Dreck mission, that would be gone forever. Then again, I've read reports that is already the case.Quote:Originally Posted by Yydr
My experience thus far is that all missions, Tips and non-Tips, are lost when a morality switch is made. As long as you can still talk to the contacts, you can re-claim missions lost. -

I said the same thing when I got into Beta. Then I was told that they had already toned it down considerably.
A disturbing thought if it is indeed true. -
That is a different timer. Look at your status icons, and you should see a power called "Countdown to X". Right click on that, and select info. It should say when it expires. That is when you will get the badge & temp power if you remain the same alignment.

Quote:I've not done many character transfers so I'm not really all that well versed on the subject. However there are warnings, and the original poster got what he paid for, exactly as the terms of the warnings said.Originally Posted by Siolfir
As someone who used the free transfers to rename characters, it does check before you log into the game, and the green "Rename Character" button is highlighted instead of the option of buying a rename token. You don't have to log on to rename.
That would drive the point home, for sure.Quote:Originally Posted by Siolfir
I don't see where disabling the ability to log on with an active rename token would cause a problem for the player (the UI programmer may want to strangle someone, but that depends on how it's currently written), and it would prevent situations like the OP.
Yes, it is a case of "Buyer beware" and that is why the warnings exist.Quote:Originally Posted by Vitality
Well in that case...I apologize for this thread. I put myself in the situation. If I would have read the full warning I would have known that would happen.
I would suggest making that suggestion in the suggestions and ideas section.Quote:Originally Posted by Vitality
However, I do believe that this should be changed. I think that, if you purchase the rename token...you should be able to use it whenever you want. -
Quote:The issue comes up when you log in after using the character transfer service when a name is already taken by another character. At that point you have to change your character name.Originally Posted by Lothic
I see no reason why the game could not simply stick to the "clicking the green Rename Character button on the character selection screen" method as the ONLY way to do it.
Admittedly it should check before you logged into the game, but it doesn't. -
Quote:I'll go out on a limb and say you are wrong. Especially since I know for a fact that inspirations do not "also do it".Originally Posted by Winza
Ok, the mechanic says healed other heroes, but I will tell you now from personal experience with my regen crapper, dark armor brute and stone tank, self heals also count. They honestly shouldn't, but they do.
Now don't go setting your heals to auto or anything, it only gives credit when you actually healed damage, so if you're at full or have max HP boosted and you're only healing the boosted part, it won't give credit. That's why you don't see that many melee characters with healing badges. None of the 3 characters I mentioned actually have the healing badges, but they have a lot of credit since they heal themselves often. Actual regen doesn't count either, only green numbers from click heals like Reconstruction, Dull Pain, Dark Regeneration, Siphon Life and Earth's Embrace (and any other click heal used when you are actually damaged).
Edit: I forgot, inspirations also do it.
If self-healing click powers counted my Fire/Fire tank with Healing Flames would be an Empath by now. -
Quote:Castle fought for a long time to get the CoP back into the game. As to the "most vital part": the IoP powers morphed into temporary powers. Even then those powers are a bit more than they were with the IoPs.Originally Posted by Mattwo7
You are in a sad state of mind if you think that the devs removed the nukes becuase the nukes /themselves/ were an exploit that made it easier to beat thier so called "pet" (which is absurd thinking in it's self, CoP was clearly never a priority for them and they only put it back due to people wanting it back and then removed the most vital part of it, IoP theft >.>)
Base raiding and Base PVP is a whole other ball of wax. -
I'm thinking Thursday or sometime this weekend. Wednesday night I'm not going to be around. I'm not sure when I'll be around on Friday night, but it might be a bit too late.

I wish I could make this, but I was given a pair of tickets to see a NHL pre-season game (Vancouver vs Edmonton). Free hockey tickets beats video games, sorry. I hope to catch the next run.

<shrug> Like you said, I've more than enough other examples to debunk the myth that all badges are accessible without some type of vertical movement.

Quote:But unless you can solo Pylons, a team is needed. I think I can count on one hand the amount of players (like Bill Z Bubba) that have claimed doing that. Even then that is only on a few of their characters.Originally Posted by Master-Blade
My point is that it's possible to walk to it if you have to by going to the other side. A vertical power isn't necessary.
-
Quote:Apparently it wasn't.Originally Posted by Master-Blade
Either way, your point is made.
I'm going to say that you are shovelling something there. You may very well get most of those solo, but 99.5% of the characters can't get Unabashed solo. Most characters can't solo the Pylons to get the shields down, then walk to the center of the Rikti Mothership bowl through the waiting Rikti horde.Quote:Originally Posted by kendo
and I can get to all of those on hero or villain side solo, without having to pay $$ for add ons or taking specific travel powers. not possible to do that, at least that I am aware of, in praetoria. therefore, my comment that I (personally, in my opinion) believe that should be taken into account when placing exploration badges in new content.
As to the others, without vertical movement, you're hosed. This is especially apparent with Master of Science, Top Dog, Triumphant, Ace, or Weapons of Mass Destruction. There is absolutely no way up without some kind of vertical movement power like Teleport, Super Jump, or Flight/hover (including any related temp powers).
If you want a vertical movement power without taking a power choice, get a temp flight pack recipe & send it and the components to yourself and use that flight.

Ninja Run can't jump the 4-5 stories of the last leg of the journey. There isn't a door to the very top of the building. -
Quote:I feel the need to yet again tell people that you can't use LALT, RALT, LCTRL, RCTRL, LSHIFT, or RSHIFT as cord keys.Originally Posted by Schismatrix
/bind lalt+numpad1 "powexec_altslot 1"
/bind lalt+numpad2 "powexec_altslot 2"
/bind lalt+numpad3 "powexec_altslot 3"
/bind lalt+numpad4 "powexec_altslot 4"
/bind lalt+numpad5 "powexec_altslot 5"
/bind lalt+numpad6 "powexec_altslot 6"
/bind lalt+numpad7 "powexec_altslot 7"
/bind lalt+numpad8 "powexec_altslot 8"
/bind lalt+numpad9 "powexec_altslot 9"
/bind lalt+numpad0 "powexec_altslot 10"
You can use any of them as a stand alone key, but not as a modifier key.
To recap:
LALT+<key>, RALT+<key> = ALT+<key>
LCTRL+<key>, RCTRL+<key> = CTRL+<key>
LSHIFT+<key>, RSHIFT+<key> = SHIFT+<key>
Any guide that suggests otherwise is misleading you. -
Actually, I just do this:
- In Nova Praetoria, swim around the NE, E, SE, S locations.
- In Imperial City swim to all locations.
- For the two bridges spanning the Imperial City and Neutropolis borders, swim under them on either zone, but you don't have to do it for both zones.
- In Neutropolis, swim the rest of the badges except the two where the bridges are on the waterline.
- For those two swim to one side perpendicular to the bridge, hop onto the bridge, and jump in the opposite side.

Apparently the changes associated with I18 and/or Going Rogue introduced new bugs into Day Job related badges. For what it's worth I never had any problem getting that badge on multiple hero alts months ago.
The latest patch on the Test Server reportedly fixed several Day Job badge problems:
- Fixed a bug that prevented being awarded the Day Job Accolade Mercenary.
- Fixed a bug that prevented being awarded the Day Job Accolade Rapid Response (Hero)/Trouble Maker (Villain)
All Aloy87 is to wait for the patch to go to the live servers.Quote:Your reputation of your work with your Super Group and in the field has earned you the Rapid Response Member Accolade. While logged out near a Super Group Base portal you will earn time towards your Base Teleporter power. -
Quote:That particular bridge only gives credit when swimming under the Imperial City side. It is the only bridge that spans a zone boundary where both halves do not provide credit for the River Rat badge.Originally Posted by kendo
what do you mean by "choosing" a map for that one location? is that one available only on one of the zones, even though it appears on two zone maps?

Quote:Jump pack yes. Ninja run no as it doesn't jump up high enough, at least without help. Besides the jump pack is essentially Super Leap and the original poster didn't like that suggestion.Originally Posted by enderbean
All you need for the one on top of Neuron's tower is ninja run or the jump pack. There are two doors that leads most of the way up the tower. After entering the second door it is a short jump to the top of the building. Quite a few of the buildings in Praetoria have these roof access doors. It is possible to get the one on top of the building in Nova the same way.

Quote:Any raid I've been to has started from the south side.Originally Posted by Master-Blade
I'm not sure I would include this one. The Mothership is half buried. You can [Walk] to it from the North side if you really felt the need.
Either way, your point is made.
And that one generally needs a full team to help take the shields down. The amount of characters that could solo the Pylons is very small. -
Quote:Originally Posted by Camper
But when I look at the 16-19 category, none of the badge missions I expect to see (Paragon of Vice, Seaweed, Strikebreaker and Slag Reaper) are there.
What am I missing? It's probably something really obvious, but I just can't seem to figure it out. Do I need to unlock them in some way?Not Paragon of Vice.Quote:Originally Posted by Camper
And of course, after I posted this I figured it out. The missions are down in the 25-29 range because they are in Sharkhead, so they top out and a higher level.
So, nevermind.

Quote:Oh, like Keen Sighted?Originally Posted by kendo
no problem with exploring places, my comment was that it should be possible to explore places without having to take certain travel powers. there should be a way to get to the locations different ways.
How about Ace?
How about Old Fashioned?
Ooh, I know: Master of Science?
Or Top Dog?
Or Triumphant?
Or Weapon of Mass Destruction?
There are plenty of other examples. Suffice it to say that if you want to get the explore badges, you need some sort of vertical movement to get all of them. -
Quote:Not the one I was thinking of but that works too. For the record I was talking about Eyes to the Future. You can't get to it without a lot of vertical movement.Originally Posted by kendo
yeah, found that one also - believe it's Mohr Power. oh well, guess I will use my alternate build and take fly. really wish they would quit doing that, should not have to rely on certain travel powers to get to badges.
