    They are two different badges with the same name.
  2. <Shrug> It seems something you should take up with Beef_Cake and the badge-hunter/vidiotmaps team on the badge hunter forums, not here.
  3. You might want to look at the front page:

    Hey everyone, due to some high badnwidth usage on the Map Pack download, I have moved the file to a very safe and secure location over at Soundforge. The only difference for this particular downloadable file is it will take you to Soundforge's website to download the file. THis will safe the site a lot of bandwith. I hope you all find this not too troublesome, but it was something that had to be done.

    On a side note, we should have the new Issue 18 Map Pack within the next week or two, we are still gathering all the information needed for the map pack.


    Thanks,

    See the comment thread.
  4. Improved energy beam. That is the middle of the energy beam and elite energy beam items.

    It is fully back. It does not award a base item of power, instead it can award a 7 day temp power if you choose that reward. It is up to you if you want to rip out the vault in your SG base.

    Base items needed for the CoP Raid:
    • SG Mission Computer
    • Raid Teleporter
    • Enough control production to use the above.
    • Enough energy production to use the above.

    No such badge exists. That kind of badge will never exist according to developers. What you are describing is a penalty for switching sides and introducing such a badge would nullify all the developer's hard work for making the Going Rogue alignment system.

    All badges are kept switching sides.

    This thread has all the new badges for Going Rogue: Going Rogue Badges

    Any other new badges are just rumours at this point.
  7. It might (and I stress might) overwrite another tip, but if you do a morality mission all the other tips get dismissed anyways so why not just delete or dismiss any regular tips you are not going to use?
  8. Did you kill the boss on the barge? You were supposed to partially damage it then talk to it.

    .
    Kat, that option only exists in the menu you are looking at when you have one of these outside missions, or inside a instanced mission.

    Arbiter Oates, the option in question disables itself on a very frequent basis and is off by default.

    This is what I figured out already. I was hoping I was wrong, but I guess not.

    And yes, I did expressly bring it up. So did several others.

    The portal behind it has been hero only since June...

The only way for my rogue to get it is to turn hero, then vigilante, then villain again and finally rogue. Unless the portal itself is not tuned to Hero/Vigilante only, then the elevator restriction is useless.
    I've /bugged this, posted many times about this, and tried to bring this to the developer's attention for a while now. I don't understand why this is such a hard thing to fix.

    I hope these badge bugs get worked out soon
    Were you able to claim a respec as a reward? If you were not, you can't get the badge. You have to claim a respec to get the badge, and you can claim a max of 1 from levels 24-33, a second from levels 34-43, and a third from 44-50. If you hold off until 50 you can get 3 of course.

    It is Triumph's badge channel. Other versions are "Triumph Watch 2.1" (less population and moderation) and "Triumph Watch 3.0" (I'm sure it is a joke or someone that doesn't want any moderation).
  15. I'd suggest asking on Triumph Watch as well. I know if I'm around and not busy that I sometimes act as a tour guide to get explore/history badges.

    Likely in some kind of recreation pack.

    What have people been doing in my TARDIS?
  17. Yes, I noted that too in the opening paragraph.

    "The power actually will reset these zones to faded or black status."
  18. Summary:
    I know this was reported in the beta test, and I know this was an problem a few years ago. The Fog of War for the minimaps keep resetting after a certain point. It used to only happen in the shadow shards, the hive, of PVP zones as those were usually the last zones visited. With the [Reveal] vet power, the zones will not clear the fog of war. The power actually will reset these zones to faded or black status. Now with Going Rogue, characters are able to visit more zones and now can hit the new upper limit just by switching sides, and not including starting from Praetoria.

    Bug details:
    The bug stems from the fact that each character has a buffer that can hold X amount of non-mission zones. The problem stems from the fact that there are more non-mission zones than this buffer allows. I'm guessing that there are some buffer overruns related to this as the clear data is not saved.

    On my controller that I've had since 2005, I've visited or been to the following non-mission zones:
    Hero Tutorial (map data is persistent between logins.)
    1. Atlas Park
    2. Brickstown
    3. Founders' Falls
    4. Galaxy City
    5. Independence Port
    6. Kings Row
    7. Overbrook "Faultline"
    8. Peregrine Island
    9. Salamanca "Croatoa"
    10. Skyway City
    11. Steel Canyon
    12. Talos Island
    13. Sewer Network
    14. Paragon Dance Party
    15. Abandoned Sewer Network
    16. Astoria "Dark Astoria"
    17. Baumton "Boomtown"
    18. Eastgate "The Hollows"
    19. Eastgate Tunnels "The Tunnels of the Trolls"
    20. Perez Park
    21. Striga Isle
    22. Terra Volta
    23. "The Hive"
    24. Venice "Crey's Folly"
    25. White Plains "(The) Rikti War Zone"
    26. Woodvale "Eden"
    27. Fire Base Zulu
    28. Cascade Archipelago
    29. The Chantry
    30. The Storm Palace
    31. Pocket D
    32. Bloody Bay
    33. Siren's Call
    34. Warburg
    35. Overbrook "Faultline" revamp
    36. Recluse's Victory
    37. Sharkhead Isle
    38. Grandville
    39. Nerva Archipelago
    40. St. Martial
    41. Port Oakes
    42. Mercy Island
    43. Cap au Diable
    44. The Abyss
    45. Monster Island
    It is at number 41 where the fog of war starts resetting and the [reveal] vet power stops working in outside zones for this character. On the test server I changed the order I visited and had different blackout zones. I still had the same amount of blackout zones however.

    What this means:
    With the addition of the 7 Praetorian maps (Praetorian Tutorial, NP, IC, Neu, and the 3 underground maps) that Praetorians that start blue side might not be able to clear any of the CoV zone's fog of war, and even have CoH zones "stuck". Given that more Praetorian zones will likely be added in future issues, the maximum amount of zones that can be buffered should be increased.

    Actually in this case I think they were running a test bed without watching the results (simulated scenarios) without realizing that the AV wasn't generating combat or system spam...

    Got it working on vista and win7 that way
    FYI, you don't need herostats running to have CoHLCD running. On the other hand, why not run herostats?

    After 12 hours, my main hero badge collector gained 90 badges today. She is now at 865 badges. And she is only at Vigilante stage now.

    EI has 918 badges atm...to be honest beyond the SFs (and Master of SFs) I'm not sure what I'm missing (and day job badges...and working on the last few mayhem ones).
    On beta I got to 946 badges. I still had a few defeat and strike forces to get (not including the Master Ofs). It is 6 day jobs and a few Day job accolades that will take the longest (depending on those master runs, of course).

    While I didn't youtube it, I did a demorecord and posted a link for Castle to download it. I also dug through the demofile and found where he attacked me. I posted screenshots and where to find the offending attacks in the file. I even posted pictures of the offences (above).

    Actually Castle said that they couldn't replicate it.
