  1. Could it be the OP created a new account, instead of re-using an existing account?

    It's not the most intuitive interface, but like anything else, you'll get comfortable with it as you use it more.

    They're not bad, but Dell is not a "premier manufacturer" like Alienware, Voodoo or Hypersonic(I think they still exist).
    Just for counterpoint purposes, my last three computers were Dells (two desktops, one laptop). My current desktop is pushing seven years in age and, while I am now seriously contemplating replacing it, it still functions perfectly well, and runs CoH just fine (I did upgrade to 6G RAM and a new video card about two years ago, for about $300). My most recent single-player game I've purchases is Deus Ex Human Revolution, and it runs fine as well.

    On the occasions where I've needed customer support, they've been very responsive.

    Not discounting Immortalus' experience at all. Like I said, just providing a counterpoint perspective from a very satisfied Dell user.

    Hope to see you there!
    You really are a glutton for punishment, aren't you Amy?

    I'll be out of town, so won't be able to make it on the 8th, but I wish you the best of luck!

    This is a big issue. I have experience with Demon Prince, Commando and Oni. They mostly only run low on endurance with two upgrades but my Dire Wolf is low on endurance all the time at lvl 26.


    Am I the only one noticing this?? Yes, I will put some -endurance in it but I don't know if 2nd upgrade will cause it using even more endurance. I just think it's a bit too much? I don't have any pet sets right now (won't get any until lvl 35) so I had to keep passing blue inspirations to it!
    I've got my beast/poison to 50, so all my pets have all the upgrades. I find all of the pets have endurance issues, not just Dire Wolf. They seem to burn through it with reckless abandon.

    Frustrating as heck running a mastermind on an incarnate trial. Last night on a Lambda with my beast/poison MM, at the end just before the Marauder fight starts, team was gathering, buffing, etc. I have my pets on absolute passive mode.

    So, what do they do? Completely aggro onto Maurader and zerg him, from 50 yards away. While still in passive mode. Seriously, WTF? Spamming my passive bind has ABSOLUTELY NO EFFECT.

    So, I dismiss them all, and re-summon. Set to absolute passive mode, and the new pets completely aggro on Marauder and zerg him. Again, WTF? I feel like a complete idiot, thinking people in the league must think I'm sending them into battle deliberately.

    It would be nice if passive mode was just that. Passive. As in, stay put. Do nothing. What a concept.

    Cinn wrapped up the DA day job earlier this week, now sitting on 1357 badges (badge hunter, of course, only acknowledging 1356). Now awaiting issue 23.

    I rushed Cinn through the new DA content without reading a lot of the storyline, so I'm running through it again with my newest 50, a Beast/Poison mastermind, taking the time to read all of the text and storyline, this time.

    This advice cannot be overstated. There's some really smart people over on the Tech Issues forum that will almost certainly provide you with some excellent advice.

    Are you perpetually this unpleasant? Your little rant over on the Archetype thread, and your most unhelpful snark here....why post at all?

    Thanks for the update. I'd checked the other day, and no update. Good to see the new DA now added.

    Assuming you're looking in the new Dark Astoria, I believe you'll need to visit the old Dark Astoria for the old history and exploration badges. An "echo" of Dark Astoria can be accessed through a portal in Ouroborus. The portal is located behind the main building in Ouroborus. A Galaxy City echo can also be accessed here. This portal can only be accessed through the hero Ouroborus.

    If you're searching the echo DA, none of the plaques or badges were moved, AFAIK.

    I'm quite certain I'm missing something glaringly obvious, but a little help would be much appreciated.

    Disregard. There was an NPC I overlooked, and of course the only one on the map with anything of relevance to say in advancing the mission. Just my luck...

    The arc kind of tricks you into thinking that mission #3 is the last mission of the arc. (Well, I was tricked.) On mission #3, there is no option to "turn off" the NPCs.

    In fact, there are a total of six missions. It is on mission #6 where you get the option to ditch the NPC support with respect to the Lone Wolf badge.

    After making your choice and leaving the mission, you'll have to go talk to Graham Easton to actually finish the mission.

    If you simply abandon the mission, you'll be able to immediately pick it up again and start over from the "search warehouse" portion of it.

    I grabbed both badges within maybe 10 minutes.
    Clever. Of course, I ran it twice just last night.

    Oh well, it's a fairly short arc anyways.

    And forgot to mention that, obviously, I cannot get that badge verified on "BadgeHunters" either.

    Cheers
    I was coming here to post the question, but I think it's answered. My in-game badge count is 1349, but badge hunter only has me at 1348. I'm assuming this particular badge is the reason.

    I had given up on this badge because I didn't want to take the time to PVP or deal with another account. But the itch for badges finally won out last month so I created a free account and leveled two villains up to 15 and headed out to Bloody Bay.

    And today, after many boring, grindy hours in the waters of BB, I've finally gotten my Longbow Warden 2 and Disruptor badges!
    Congrats!!!1

    Thank you, Spatch. I had a feeling it was something odd like that.

    Except now.

    My Reward Token has arrived, but not the Points.

    There could be many things at work. Example: The previous Forum maintenance said that all VIP names would "default to gold." Mine did not. The answers I got amounted to that "default" meant I still had to take some affirmative action and only the NEW VIPs would "default." I figured it meant everyone would be set to gold and would have to take action to change to white, but concluded I just misunderstood. This last Forum maintenance changed my name to gold, which is what I figured was afoot--- I have never taken any action on that.

    So is it that after months of announcing a date certain that everyone will get their Points on, it has finally happened, or has the Points computer belched and they will show up a little late, or have they gone the way of the emails I no longer ever receive or what?
    Quite a few of us noticed this back in January. What we discovered (when we petitioned) was that, apparently, those who took advantage of the 12+2 month sale back in December had their monthly points stipend date changed to the 28th of the month (or thereabouts). Not sure how widespread the problem was, but those of us discussing it in a forum thread all shared this characteristic, and we all received the same answer to our petitions.

    So, if you signed up for the 12+2 deal in December, your stipend date has likely changed.

    If this doesn't apply to you, I suggest you send in a /petition to query further.

    Good luck!
