    Unless the zone is a villain zone for a hero group or a hero zone for a villain group. You can get the beacon badges, but not place the beacons for those zones.

    I just hit 30, so I trained and then went to Atlas to see the City Rep about Auras. She tells me it's her policy not to overburden heroes, and tells me I already have too much to do. (You know the spiel, insert "max number of missions text" here) The problem is, I currently have NO MISSIONS in my list. So no Aura mission for me. I go to Talos, grab a radio mision and come back, thinking she's got to see I only have one mission now. Nope, no deal. I tried logging out and rebooting, when I came back, same deal, "You already have too much to do, yadda yadda".

    Has anyone else had this problem? What do I gotta do to get her to see my mission list is NOT full?
    Here are some questions:
    Are you a Hero, Vigilante, or Rogue?
    Did you start as a Hero, Villain, or Praetorian?
    While in Atlas Park, what contacts are active that are not in Atlas Park?
  3. I've been getting this for the last few weeks:



    Note that the updater connects fine and I can play the game fine with it. This same error also takes the place of the EULA on the next screen as well.

    As I'm not in control of the HTML in question, I'm pretty sure I can't change the characters used for these pages. It looks like the updater/EULA pages are being directed at the "bad post" page of the forums.

    Edit:
    Yes, I know that it should be going to here: http://www.cityofheroes.com/updater/live.html

So I have top repeat all 5 radio missions again?

    Plus when I look for a team all I see is the red side zones in the search. I know that if I do 10 more tips I can become a hero, but my villain base access will go away right?
    You went back and parked in a red side zone, huh?

    If you leave the blue side zones on a rogue all your missions get abandoned. This includes any radio/safeguard missions. The same applies to vigilantes and paper/mayhem missions.

    You have been ignoring the pop up warnings that happen when you go from the blue to red zones (or reverse)?

    A rogue cannot do any hero contacts (other than radio/safeguard) of their own.

    A vigilante cannot do any villain contacts (other than paper/mayhem) on their own.

    Just doing 10 of any type of these gains experience, alignment credit, and inf.

    If you do a morality mission, then:

    If you change from Hero you lose hero merits. If you change from Villain you lose villain merits.
    I think that answers the question.

    What? Nothing of the sort happens. However if you do a morality mission, then all your alignment meters get reset.

    Sadly, you can't.

    There should be a lot of runs on the redside as well. In fact it tends to be a bit easier as there are more debuffs with "villain" ATs. You also don't have to be a part of the group to participate, only the team leaders.

    Castle told us in the last weeks of beta that Aspect's shield WAS an Only Affecting Self, but at the time they could not reproduce the bug internally. I'll have to assume that they have enough evidence now that it is attacking through the shields, because several players (including myself) have reported it. I've even made a demorecord showing it happening.

    Any time a game critter breaks the rules that players have to live by (players can't shoot through personal force fields), the situation needs to be looked at and corrected.

    I've been on runs that can't get the shield down due to being attack by a shielded aspect.
  10. Ok, successful run!

    Lessons learned:
    • If we stack enough debuffs and are quick enough we can eat at the AV's health without nukes (providing not the storm AV).
    • Firm commitments needed for this. During the last minute scramble a few players were left out.
    • Players should have nukes before the start.
    • I really shouldn't lead these.
    • The base needs to be fairly simple for players to quickly use the hospital & get back.
    • Multiple accounts both here and in game confuses the team leader as I was saving spots for players already on the team.
    • Some players were confused with the "no stinky heroes allowed" rule for villain bases.

    I know it is late in the stack but will be glad to tag along.

    Let me know what to bring so I can grab a nuke if needed.
    We need debuff.

    I meant contact/arcs as well. With the list above, should be easy to try to repeat this.
  13. The stone brute would be wonderful. We need more damage, a few more debuffers, and a couple heals.

    Then, were I can defeat them to get the accolade? A Hero's hero?
    Yes, the ones in a Hero's Hero count still.

    Neither Siege or Nightstar are in either of Tina Macintyre's story arcs.

    Tina has one stand alone Anti-Matter mission.

    Tina's Praetorian War arc has:
    Anti-Matter x2 (only one counts for Dimensional Warder)
    Bobcat
    Nueron
    Shadowhunter ( doesn't count for Dimensional Warder)

    Maria Jenkin's Hero's Hero arc has:
    Shadowhunter (doesn't count for Dimensional Warder)
    Battle Maiden
    Black Swan
    Bobcat
    Chimera
    Diabolique
    Dominiatrix
    Infernal
    Malaise
    Marauder
    Nightstar
    Nueron
    Siege
    Tyrant (doesn't count for Dimensional Warder but has Statesman's Pal badge)

    Maria Jenkin's Hero's Epic arc has:
    Battle Maiden
    Black Swan
    Bobcat
    Chimera
    Diabolique
    Dominiatrix
    Infernal
    Malaise
    Marauder
    Nightstar (doesn't count for Dimensional Warder either in the arc or stand alone)
    Nueron

    I haven't tested the availability of Statesman's Pal with the new arc.
  16. Well, we have 15 confirmed/maybes, and 9 slots to fill. I'll check back later. I'll fill the teams from here first, and I guess we'll need to fill the ranks from the globals to do this.

    Yes.

    Edit:
    When the badge was introduced, we were told that it was for any 5 moral choices. I suspect that one of the moral choices is resetting the count. What was the last moral choice you have done before the reset?

    -> Lag/CPU busy/GPU busy. <-

    What is happening is that cloaking device is actually starting after the smoke bomb in all cases. The text isn't a power/emote & fires off at the same time. Apparently 1 out of 10 times the game cycle shows you the two (smoke bomb & cloaking) at the same time, but it is still doing smoke bomb then cloaking.
  19. I don't think so as he isn't an Outcast in those missions.

    There isn't a command to delete recipes.

    There is no "5 in a row" badge. The badge is for any 5 moral choices.

    You could go L-R-R-R-L or L-L-L-L-L or R-R-R-R-R or R-L-R-L-R. The only thing that will not work is U-U-D-D-L-R-L-R-A-B.
  22. I'm shocked! A GM that actually knows the exact problem and they expressed the problem properly. A lot of times it requires patient explaining to the GMs what is happening with a badge.

    That is exactly what is happening.

    Based on the Snowflake unlock, try SigilEmoteBadge or VanguardSigilEmoteBadge.
    That reminds me we need to find out if there is a Peacebringer or Warshade (or other AT) authbit.
