Quote:While true for RWZ, this is not true for Faultline or the new Issue 17 badges.Originally Posted by Ironblade
It was never true. All exploration badges in a zone are required for the beacon. When a badge is added, everyone trying to get the beacon AFTER that time needs to get every badge. Anyone who acquired the beacon previously does not have it retroactively removed. -
Clash of the Titans was filmed in 2D, and converted to 3D as an afterthought. I'm glad that I've stopped going to 3D movies as they gave me headaches and the glasses were uncomfortable to wear over my prescription glasses.

Quote:I have. I have yet to see any rebuttal of what I posted above. I've been using a form of it every time the City Traveller comes up in these "suggestions". Not once has anyone disputed that there are more options than the City Traveller enables.Originally Posted by Judgement_Dave
I rarely understand ideas being shot down in just the /unsigned manner this has been (by many). If an idea is bad point out why.
Because the suggestion is completely without merit. A brief glance at the Veteran Rewards FAQ shows that this was considered and rejected prior to it being enabled in game.Quote:Originally Posted by Judgement_Dave
If it is bad overall but has some merit then does it hurt to say so, or explore variations? I'm pretty sure that the OP didn't post just to see if they could annoy other posters...
Quote:Q: What do I have to do in order to receive my rewards? A: If you have an active account*, you dont need to do anything except log into the game. After each three-month milestone, the rewards will be added to your account(s).
Quote:Q: Can I pay for a certain number of months into the future in order to receive my rewards now? A: No. The rewards are for the number of months with an active paying account and this only applies to past time, not future time.
If you can come up with any rebuttal to the FAQ, then present it.Quote:*Active account time includes 1. the free month of game time included with the game and 2. payments by credit card or game time card. Payments by credit card or game time card only include the paid time already incurred, not future time. -

Quote:What? Okay so you're still focused on the travel power reward huh? The following shows that there are options besides vet rewards or taking dedicated powers:Originally Posted by Stratos
I agree with rewarding veteran players. I simply feel a few of them are a little overboard and unfair. Ninja Run for example, would have been an awful veteran-only ability and thankfully the devs didn't do that, but they have done other things that IMO they shouldn't have.
Real money options:
- Mini-booster: Temporary 30 Day Jetpack $5, 30 real days unlimited flight power on all characters on the account.
- Super Booster IV: Martial Arts grants Ninja Run, level 4 onward on all characters.
- Good Vs Evil in-game pack (or if the account doesn't have it, the full GvE edition): Pocket D Teleport and Jump Jet (though that is only 30 seconds at a time.)
30 real days temp powers:
- Christmas Event (for candy canes) or Holiday cheer (random): 30 real days Jingle Jet unlimited flight power.
30 minute Temp powers:
- Siren's Call: you can buy Flight, Teleport, or Super Leap from the Siren's Call mercenaries if your faction is winning the zone.
Non-consecutive lasting temp powers:
- Level 1 onward, park your character in either Firebase Zulu (or other Shadow Shard) or Grandville for a max 30 minute (renewable) Jetpack. Get the Commuter or Pilot day job badges to refuel at any train station or Arachnos flier as well.
- Level 1 onward go to Firebase Zulu or Grandville and purchase a Jetpack for 10,000 Inf.
- Level 5-9 (50-50 chance at level 10), or with help do the Atlas Park Safeguard or Mayhem mission: Reward is a 2 hour Jetpack. (Can get once per character.)
- Level 11-14 (50-50 chance at level 10 or 15), or with help do the Kings Row Safeguard or Mayhem mission: Reward is a 2 hour Jump Jet. (Can get once per character.)
- Level 15-19 Villains - Steal a Goldbricker's Rocket Pack: 90 minutes of flight.
- Level 20-24 Villains - Sky Raider Flight Pack 60 minutes of flight. (You can flash back to get this multiple times.)
- Level 25 onward for both sides: Ouroborus Portal
Introduced with Issue 17:
- The second of the new Positron's TFs has a Jet Pack as well.
All these options are available to all players.
As for other temp powers, see this list:
http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Temp_Powers
The options are there, you just have to see them.
Class dismissed unless you can show how the vet rewards City Traveller out-powers the above available alternatives.
As you can see there are multiple options for the most sought after perk in the Vet Rewards system. In fact several of them actually exceeds City Traveller's bonus by not requiring you to have a travel power at all if you don't want it.
To the original poster: Quit whining. If you subscribe long enough, you will get the same rewards for the same subscription length. In this the Veteran Rewards are 100% fair to everyone. -

Quote:This thread is like watching a protracted game of Brockian Ultra Cricket - without the wall.Originally Posted by Aggelakis
Your geek card, if you ever possessed one, is hereby rescinded.
Quote:- Rule One: Grow at least three extra legs. You won’t need them, but it keeps the crowds amused.
- Rule Two: Find one extremely good Brockian Ultra Cricket player. Clone him off a few times. This saves an enormous amount of tedious selection and training.
- Rule Three: Put your team and the opposing team in a large field and build a high wall around them. The reason for this is that, though the game is a major spectator sport, the frustration experienced by the audience at not actually being able to see what’s going on leads them to imagine that it’s a lot more exciting than it really is. A crowd that has just watched a rather humdrum game experiences far less life affirmation than a crowd that believes it has just missed the most dramatic event in sporting history.
- Rule Four: Throw lots of assorted items of sporting equipment over the wall for the players. Anything will do – cricket bats, basecube bats, tennis racquets, skis, anything you can get a good swing with.
- Rule Five: The players should now lay about themselves for all they are worth with whatever they find to hand. Whenever a player scored a “hit” on another player, he should immediately run away as fast as he can and apologize from a safe distance. Apologies should be concise, sincere, and, for maximum clarity and points, delivered through a megaphone.
- Rule Six: The winning team shall be the first team that wins.

Quote:Pocket D tends to be a bit funny in terms of day job badges. Sometimes what you said is right sometimes it is wrong. I've had a hard time with getting the base portal day job to work, but one of the two hospitals do not. The vault depends on how far in it you are.Originally Posted by Diggis
Usually 2 are there because it's a zone specific badge and a local one, like Pocket D is the zone, but the base portal is the local. The local overrides the zone so if you stood by the base portal in pocket D you would get the Monitor duty credit.

Quote:You are looking at that wrong.Originally Posted by GuyPerfect
This is no longer true. Any +HP set bonuses or accolades no longer count against progress towards damage badges. The level 52 Guide I was getting hit by dealt 1028 damage per swing, and my progress bar went up by 1028 every time I got hit.
This MUST be counting additional HP, because Mastermind only gets 802 by default, which means I got more progress per swing than I would have been able to take total if the extra HP wasn't counting towards the badge.
Say you have, with bonuses, 1,100 HP. If you get hit for only 50 HP damage, none of it counts. However if you get hit for 300 HP all of it counts as it has made it past the "entry" requirements to count. This has been documented in the badge section for over a year now. -
Quote:They absorb damage that was meant for you. So even if you are in Bodyguard Mode on a CoT Pain Crystal only the damage you take (not the pets) counts. Add in any +HP bonuses and you'll likely not do enough to even touch your base HP.Originally Posted by mintmiki
ah, thanks. for some reason, i thought the damage the pets take count towards your overall.

The multimedia keys never worked for me, and I set up my file priorities correctly. I wasn't aware there were control panel options to set what the multimedia keys do, largely because I've never seen a control panel option that suggested it might do this and keyboards no longer come with drivers. I'll have a look.
What I was suggesting wasn't a plugin for the media players so much as the game accessing the normal interfaces of the media players (that the developers provide). Much like nVidia or ATI.Quote:Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
If you're actually suggesting that you can get one in-game plugin to control all kinds of players that I might own, I'd give it a shot. But I just know that such a thing just wouldn't work with the stuff I use. It always happens like that. -

Quote:Media Keys work with any media program that recognizes them. The top three media players are WMP, iTunes, and Winamp. All three have APIs (Application Programming Interfaces, aka hooks for other programs to use to connect/control them).Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
There's a BIG problem with player-specific plugins, in that they're player-specific. You talk about iTunes, but I don't have, use or even WANT iTunes. I don't want a Media Player plugin, I don't want a VLC plugin and BY GOD I don't want a Real Player plugin. It's hard enough just to keep that piece of adware out of my startup, I don't want more plugins for it. If we did have a plugin, I'd want it to be for WinAMP, which others have already explained they don't use.
I agree with you about Real Player.
Completely false. The media keys work with Windows Media Player, Windows Media Center, iTunes, VLC*, AND Winamp**. It might work with Realplayer, however I haven't tested it. They work for all these programs. The reason why is that the media keys are trapped at a OS level and any program designed to recognize the OS response will act appropriately.Quote:Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
It's like this - certain keyboards come with "interface buttons," such as "play next song" or "open browser" and such. The problem? Multimedia keys only work with the piece of crap that is Windows Media Player,
* In VLC you have to bind the keys via the preferences.
** In Winamp, you might have to enable them in preferences.
You can change those settings in the Control Panel.Quote:Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
the browser button only ever calls the ****** Internet Explorer and the e-mail button calls up Microsoft Outlook. Why would I WANT to call up Microsoft Outlook?!? In essence, it gives me several keys that not only do I not want to use, but are often highly problematic because the programmes they call up are the Microsoft brand of fat and bloated, take hours to load and slap me with registration wizards that I have to confirm thrice that I want to cancel out of.
So, use Winamp. Here is the thing: I named the top three music players out there. Each one has interfaces available. The media keys work for all players on a Windows OS. The developers using an iTunes API would extend the capability to all MacOS clients. If you want to bring up Linux, well we all know that isn't officially supported.Quote:Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
I don't want an ap for iTunes. I want one for WinAMP. I'm sure others don't want an ap for WinAMP, but would like one for iTunes. So what do you do? -
