Quote:You wont get that contact until your first tip.Originally Posted by Gearsinger
Not having access to the tip information contact sounds like a bug, though. -
Quote:Nope, grey-conning critters level 20 or over also drop tips. This is NOT a bug.Originally Posted by Brakner
Are the they -2 or higher to you? I believe you need to be able to receive a reward from the mob in question to get a tip ( IE Salvage, XP, Recip , Enh so on )
The ONLY critters that I've been able to find that can't drop tips is in the AE or under level 20. Underlings drop less than minions, who drop less than lts, who drop less than bosses. -

So, basically, I just have to dismiss all these Vigilante only Tips I keep getting when I just want to finish shifting alignment to Villain, then? That's massively annoying and a serious waste of time.
I said:
Those missions labelled as "vigilante" in the Isles progress you towards being a villain. They are villain tips in disguise, like Decepticons.Quote:you can't get good-vigilante tips (only missions moving you to villain status) in the Isles -
Quote:Basically you can't get good-vigilante tips (only missions moving you to villain status) in the Isles, or evil-rogue tips (only missions moving you to hero status) in Paragon.Originally Posted by Panzerwaffen
OK, I have a question. I've moved two Heroes to Vigilante status. Prior to shifting alignment, every Tip I received offered me the option to run it as Hero or Vigilante, as expected. Now that I have moved those two heroes to the Rogue Isles, planning on shifting them to Villain now, I am finding that Tips only offer me ONE morality option. Some are Villain and some are Vigilante, with no choice between the two.
Is that working as intended? I was under the impression that Tips always offered two options. -

this badge isn't that bad since sg badges count for everyone in sg, so if you have 24 people in sg participate in a CoP, it would only take about 4 CoP trials to get the badge, win or loseIt does. You can have 3-24 players in the same group, but it only counts as one attempt for the badge.Quote:Originally Posted by Lothic
Assuming the "multiple players in the group doing the same CoP only counts as 1 attempt" clause doesn't actually apply to this badge...

Quote:By the way, this isn't what the original poster was asking for.Originally Posted by Catastrophe
They are offered as Veteran rewards, for the 12-month reward. If you've been even semi-active since your forum registration date you should have access to them. If not... stick around! Or shell out the $ for a box.
From http://www.cityofheroes.com/communit...one_loyal.html :
"When City of Heroes launched, there were several pre-order bonuses that players could obtain, but each player was limited to one of these special sprint powers on their account. Now, with the Veteran Rewards program, we give these bonuses to all players after one year of subscription." -
Quote:Sadly at this point you'll have to buy one of the CoH DVD editions out there (unused). The only other thing I can recommend is letting the Community Reps and Paragon Studios (especially the marketing division) know that you'd like an In Game Items pack for the CoH DVD edition goodies.Originally Posted by Unhearted
I have the CoV Collector's edition but I'd like the power slide offered in the other collector's edition. I don't need/want the others, I just want a game code. The comics are not important to me, nor is anything else.
I can't see buying it for $45(Ebay)-$115(Amazon) when I already own the game, had to buy CoH, then CoV, the booster packs, then Going Rogue, the MAC Edition, etc. Can anyone help me find a serial I can buy/apply to my account?
I just have a character I'd like to use the power slide with. Thanks.

Quote:I suspect that is a bug as you don't even get the contact/alignment window until you train to level 20. If it was working for levels 1-19 there wouldn't need to be the restriction for critters to be level 20+ to drop tips.Originally Posted by Brillig
Something that I think should be in the guide is that it's possible to change sides before hitting level 20.
I know that I personally saw it repeated over and over that you have to be level 20 to chance sides, but it turns out that's not the case. You have to be over 20 to get the missions, but even before then, it turns out you can change sides - you just have to be grouped with people who can get and do the missions. (Also, since you don't have the tip UI, you can't tell how far you are along.)
My level 18 corrupter is a Rogue now -
Quote:You are right, it was the Improved Energy Turret not the Igniter.Originally Posted by Necrotech_Master
this is not correct, the improved igniter is for defeating enemies with flamethrowers in sg mode see Improved Igniter Badge
After checking notes, you have to be in the mission as the trial ends win or lose and it doesn't have to be your group's CoP raid. Just starting the trial isn't enough. -
Quote:Outlaw - Might need to defeat 100-150 before progress bar shows.Originally Posted by PunchinJudy
So, as a vigilante, I am not seeing progress bars for defeating PPD, vehicles, vault doors, heroes, or arsons.
Will these badges still award as a vigilante or must a full switch to villain be made?
Firebug - Should be showing after one.
Hero Slayer - Might need to defeat 1-2 before progress bar shows.
Impounder - Might need to defeat 10-15 vehicles before progress bar shows.
Safecracker - Should be showing after one.
Also you might not get a progress bar to show, but you should get the badge if you get the requirements. -
Quote:It is a group badge (not a character badge), requires 100 hours (100 CoP starts), and gives a meh base item that cannot be used as the base raiding system is off-line.Originally Posted by Lothic
So you only have to "attempt" the CoP to work on that badge?
I know some badges are easier to farm than others, but a badge with a requirement like that is almost ASKING to be farmed.
What would be the point?
Edit:
After checking notes, you have to be in the mission as the trial ends win or lose and it doesn't have to be your group's CoP raid. Just starting the trial isn't enough. -
Photobucket's thumbnails have "th_" before the actual file name.
Here is an example image with a thumbnail that links to a larger version:

Quote:You know, if the Gamestop pre-order bonus was this power I'd be getting a refund on my deposit and just buy the game digitally.Originally Posted by Kheldarn
This power is neither Useless, nor is it Utterly Useless.
Either of those would be an improvement. -
Quote:It is now the morning of August 20, and still no word on when my pre-order will be available. I sure hope Black Pebble is paying attention to all the Gamestop threads.Originally Posted by Snow Globe
They didn't have either the promo items OR the game box even though I pre-ordered AND put down a $40 deposit -- in JUNE. GameStop Canada SUCKS.
You can't apply the same code to your account twice.Quote:Originally Posted by White_Star_77
I'm not saying that those of you waiting for an online pre-order should go this route, especially since you would be purchasing it twice. However, since GameStop has totally fragged this experience, and since you would be getting another included month of game time, it might not be a bad option -
Check if it awards when you fully switch to villains.

Quote:It was working in beta, are you sure your group did 10% damage (any damage he took and healed increases the amount needed).Originally Posted by EmperorSteele
So yeah, some Tanks and I took down Deathsurge on our vigilantes and we totally didn't get the badge which makes me =(
Guess it's a known bug.
Wish I'd known that before i attacked him... -
Quote:Improved Energy Turret base defence item.Originally Posted by EmperorSteele
if that's an item of power base decoration for that badge i'm going to laugh and cry at the same time.

Quote:Actually, as far as I know, the text is wrong. It is only attempts or group starts that count. Note that multiple players in the group doing the same CoP only counts as 1 attempt.Originally Posted by Zloth
Oh man - if it was "attempted CoP 100 times" I would be set.
Edit:
After checking notes, you have to be in the mission as the trial ends win or lose and it doesn't have to be your group's CoP raid. Just starting the trial isn't enough. -
Blondeshell is currently working on it.

Quote:That was true for the last four years at least...Originally Posted by Positron
Shadowhunter should no longer be required for Dimensional Warder. I believe we made that true when the new arcs were made.
Mother Mayhem was added to this badge this issue, Tyrant or Shadowhunter have never (to my knowledge) been needed.Quote:Originally Posted by Snow Globe
What arch villains do I need to defeat for the Dimensional Warder badge?
See this site: City Info Terminal's Dimensional Warder badge details
Only 13 of the 16 Praetorians are needed. They are: Anti-Matter, Chimera, Nightstar, Siege, Bobcat, Neuron, Battle Maiden, Black Swan, Malaise, Infernal, Diabolique, Dominatrix, & Marauder.
Edit:
And now I have to find my working file for the Dimensional Warder checklist. Still annoyed to need one thanks to no clues as to which EB/AVs have or have not been defeated. Maybe now that both heroes & villains can have the same amount of total badges, getting a defeat badge for each EB/AV could happen. -
Quote:And I know of at least one person that reported the bug in question -- SynapseOverloaded.Originally Posted by ChaosExMachina
There obviously no reason it should still be restricted now.

Quote:What type of missions? If you are on a flashback or strike force you can't see tips.Originally Posted by Pinny
It wasn't any of that. We were doing missions in sharkhead isle, and when we finished the mission I checked my tips tab to see if I got any more, and they were all gone.

Quote:Which flashback mission, exactly (Flashback name, contact, level range, side). What that message usually means is that a contact has wandered away from where it should be...Originally Posted by Nitra
Is anyone else getting "The portal does not know where to send you" message
where before you used to click on it and it would take you to the contact?
Maybe the batteries need to be replaced? -
Quote:You should, yes.Originally Posted by SaraMC
I have a Hero that I just did a heroic morality mission for and got Countdown to Justice. So does that mean in 7 days, I will get the Call to Justice power?
If you do a second hero morality mission, the countdown should be unaffected. However if you did a vigilante morality mission, you'd lose Countdown to Justice, and get the countdown to the fearsome (I can't remember what it is called at the moment) power.Quote:Originally Posted by SaraMC
If so, what happens if before the 7 day wait is up, I do another Hero morality mission with this hero character? Do I lose the chance to get Call to Justice, and get a new Aligment power? Does going hero to hero, count as shifting morality as far as allignment powers go?
It isn't permanent.Quote:Originally Posted by SaraMC
Lastly, Once I wait the 7 days and have the actual allignment power I can use, is it permanent? Or is it a temporary power that I will only be able to have for a certain amount of time? -
Quote:The exact same way as before. They only removed the hero-only and villain-only flags on those badges. All that means is that rogues and vigilantes (and a few villains and heroes) can get those badges before fully switching sides, nothing more.Originally Posted by Big_Soto
Hey Snow Globe,

Impounder
Outlaw
Safecracker

Thanx,
Soto
