I have a fire/storm corruptor named Nuee Ardente - colored his fire powers deep red/yellow and colored his storm powers brown, and when he gets going it's like being inside a volcano. Snow Storm turns into a dust storm and Freezing Rain becomes a rain of pumice.

Once you've unlocked your Alpha slot, any enemy that is even-con or better has chance to drop a Shard, regardless of what level you are exemplared to.

Paragon Wiki really needs to fix this.

Even worse is that this page still says 2 Shards.
http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Incarnate_Component
Of course you still get Shards anyway because they will randomly drop from enemies during the TFs and sense they changed it to even con instead of level 50 to drop Shards we can now get then while exemplar/Malefactor on the lower level TFs. -

2. On the first mission they name 2 ships, I did not see any markings on the ships to indicted which was which.

Quote:On the Kahn, why don't you just duck into RWZ, turn around and come out in PI? On the STF, you need to add the train to FF before ducking into the RWZ, but the travel time except for crossing PI is still minimal.Originally Posted by Noxilicious
The bit about the Black Helicopter just makes me hope that in I21 Independence Port, Founders Falls and Peregrine Island will get conneccted Longbow Choppers. The STF and Kahn TF both got missions to send you to Peregrine Island and it's a bit of a pain to get there on a Rogue.

Wow, just tried this TF with 5 people,, almost couldn't make it past the ghoul bombs, and then hit a brick wall with the Durays and gave up since it's late. IN. SANE.
I did spend the majority of the TF copying down the text for the wiki, though.

Looking at getting a new cheap laptop to replace an aging desktop, and I'm going through the stats. It has a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 onboard graphics card. What kind of performance can I expect?
I've found it on some benchmark sites and it say 31 FPS on low and 17 FPS on medium for WoW, but I'm not sure exactly how this would compare to CoH. -
Ok, finally back to the thread, and I wanted to post a few links:

I wrote this from scratch a while back to help put all the Nictus storylines together. -
Actually, the dev you want now is Protean, the current keeper of the lore bible. Manticore left a while back, I believe.
I will definitely be rejoining the conversation this evening, when I get back to the computer. -
Quote:So your understanding is that after Romulus is defeated in the ITF, Requiem returns to the "present" in time to watch the Council take control of the 5th Column, but that the 5th Column minions stay back in time until they return to support the Reichsman?Originally Posted by GuyPerfect
Though it's only mentioned in passing, Arakhn belittles Requiem for his prior desires for "temporal control of the world," which is oddly specific considering the Temporal Strongholds detail outlined in Issue 12. Given that Requiem was working with the 5th Column in the ITF, which he was doing before the Council took over, it's pretty clear that chronologically (in terms of Requiem's life time), the ITF took place "before" the Council gave him a new uniform.
It's my understanding the the Nictus half of Arakhn has been on Earth for centuries, so she could have seen Requiem in Roman times and then mocked him in the present before he actually went back in time with the 5th column. In fact, that could be how he got the idea in the first place.
tl;dr: Temporal logistics are hard. -
I've been doing a lot of reading as I've been working on copy editing the in-game timeline on the wiki, and things are a lot more tied up than it seems.
Arachnos is founded in the early 1900s.
Ridolfo Uzzano becomes Requiem in 1922, and at that point is working for the fascist Italian government.
Also in 1922 in Italy, The Center and Arakhn meet.
The Council splits off from Arachnos sometime in the 1940s.
The 5th Column, at this point a unit of the Nazi army, attacks Paragon City in 1941.
After the Nazis are defeated in WW2, the 5th Column goes back into hiding.
Time passes.
The Center extends his influence from the Council into the 5th Column, eventually subsuming them.
The 5th Column reemerge after the Rikti War, when Paragon City is at its weakest.
Once the 5th Column have significant power, The Center makes his move and the Council take over the 5th Column leadership. - Your character is responsible for this, as you convince Nosferatu and Burkholder to join the Council, and then defeat Vandal, Requiem and Maestro, who also join the Council.
Those loyal to the 5th Column (including Requiem - triple-crosser!) travel back in time, hiding out in Roman times. (ITF)
Roderick Mueller frees the Reichsman, and the 5th Column loyalists travel back to the present to support him. (Kahn/Barracuda TF) -
Quote:From what I understand, the original developer intent was to have certain existing signature heroes and villains switch sides as part of the Going Rogue story line. However, when they began to plan this out, it quickly became apparently that doing so would screw up a LOT of the existing lore in-game, since they all DO STUFF on their current alignment.Originally Posted by Nalrok_AthZim
I'm sure you all remember seeing Manticore and Ghost Widow in the GR cinematic trailer. They were accompanied by text suggesting that "allegiances will change" and whatnot.
What I think most of us (if not all of us) gathered from that was, Manti and GW would be switching sides. I mean, we all know that Statesman is a giant jerkwad to Manticore on a regular basis, and we also know that GW really resents Recluse for all the crap he's put her through with her own spirit and Wretch.
Unfortunately, that's all that's ever happened regarding Manti, GW and Going Rogue. Was it just a temptation? Were they never really slated to switch sides? Was that a story line that got pushed to the side because of the Incarnate System?
Because of this, they developed the two new characters we got with GR - Maelstrom and Desdamona, and left the existing characters as heroes and villains. -

All kidding aside, during the Ustream event they said they were going to activate the Halloween event this weekend because of the maintenance. They didn't say anything about Zombie invasions though.

Popular content is popular. Why not throw it into the rotation a bit more often?

I'm working on some wiki pages, and I have a few questions about bases that my search-fu can't answer.
When base access was still limited to those who had purchased CoV, what did the message say when a CoH-only account clicked on a base portal?
When were bases opened up to all accounts, regardless of which codes they had applied? -

It sort of justifies the Well's choice of who to empower as well, why didn't it choose Reichsman instead right? It's not like Tyrant is the only dimensional doppelganger of States to try taking over our dimension.

Quote:I was wondering if it was just a bug with the mission regardless of AT, but then I realized it had been so long since I'd actually run that mission that I couldn't recall what happened last time.Originally Posted by Katze
It's happening on my hero characters as well (even those that have not done a tip mission), so it looks like a bug with with the mission.

Just ran the rescue Walter Daschle mission from Buck Salinger, and when he summoned the Fir Bolg to assist me, they instead started to attack me. I'm a vigilante stalker, not a hero, and I was curious if anyone else had seen this problem.
Bug report has been submitted, of course. -

That right there convinced me the pack isn't worth my $10.
