    (slight fix )

    That would make it 8 am PT. I thought you wanted to give time to sleep in .

    I'll certainly try and make this, but don't save me a spot, I usually don't get up that early and even if I do, my brain doesn't start working for at least an hour after that.

    While I didn't specifically check the targeting command by itself, I did target my dead teammate every time I pressed the bind. I would specifically either have no target or target an enemy first.

    Rez power such as [Empathy.Resurrect] will auto target a dead character (though it won't limit it to a teammate). Vengeance, unfortunately, will not.

    I couldn't get powexec_name Vengeance$$targetcustomnear friend defeated teammate to work in one keypress. When I put the Target command first, it would sometimes work in one keypress, sometimes not. A second keypress would get Vengeance to go off on either one.

    My bad, I missed the part about descriptions.

    I can state from my own experience that Marcone bosses (of any kind) do NOT count toward the Untouchable badge (the one the OP is specifically interested in.)
    The Macone Consigliere I killed in St. Martial did count for Untouchable as well as Gangbuster. Also, as pointed out by Snowglobe and Aggelakis, the Underbosses and Consigliere can have Macone in their descriptions text (not name) and will count toward both.

    My testing, as posted above, conflicts with your statements.

    Marcone Capo (Boss Rank) in Port Oaks did not count toward Untouchable badge.

    All boss rank in Rogue Islands that I could find (Consigliere, Underboss, Marcone Capo and Marcone Consigliere), counted toward Gangbusters, regardless of whether Macone was in their name or not.

    This is incorrect.
    I just killed a Consigliere in Sharks, it counted for both badges.
    I just killed an Underboss in Sharks, it counted for both badges.
    I just killed a Consigliere in Nerva, it counted for both badges.
    The Marcone Capo in Port Oaks I killed only counted for Gangbusters, not toward Untouchable.

    I'm pretty sure I've seen Consigliere in PO, but I was unable to find one right now to test.

    Edit: Addtionally, Marcone Consigliere in St. Martial count for both badges.

    Make sure you are checking the correct badge. You need Untouchable (100 bosses). I believe that most redside family bosses count toward Gangbuster (200 bosses).

    Edit: A quick check seems to show that red side bosses count toward both. But you still want to check Untouchable, which is much farther down the badge list.
  10. You probably can also try sending a pm to Zwillinger or Avatea, the Community Managers.
  11. Yeah, what Kosmos put up should work. The only real downside is that you'll get the Power Recharging sound every time you press it and the power hasn't recharged yet.

    Click the + (plus) sign on your power tray to make a free floating bar, pull it to the edge to make it bend into the "L" shape.
  13. He get's thumbs up for me for being specific enough to mention daylight time .

    In this game, I've played with people in Korea, Iran, Sweden, Netherlands, England and Germany. Figuring out the timezone and standard/daylight time is important if you want to get online at the same time.

    Shorter. Most of the new content these days seems to target about 1 hour or so.
  17. Yes you can. I started a Morty SF on my vigil on Tuesday.

    Patron Power Pools

    "… with Issue 18/Going Rogue's side-switching, only characters with villain or rogue alignments can unlock Patron Power Pools. However, after unlocking the pools, they remain as legal choices even if the character then changes alignment away from villain or rogue, and can be respec'd into and out of at will.

    Peacebringers and Warshades do not have access to Patron Power Pools."

    Second Q:

    I understand there is a maximum with tips, you can only get 3 of them, and 5 missions in one day. My question is about the 5 part. When i click on "Tips," it shows me the public fame meter, and there is 5 blinking circles, but only one of the circles has a shield in it. Do the 5 blinking circles represent that I am at the max (after a day, they wont be blinking?)

    Or when i have 5 shields, that represents I am at the max?
    If you mouse over each circle, it will tell you either how long it's been since you did the tip or it will say that you are not remembered for this. As long as there is a circle that says you are not remembered, you can do a tip mission and get credit for it, regardless of whether it's your mission or someone else's mission.

    Well, from the review, the not free version doesn't seem to be much better.

    I believe the separate files are for the private message history.
  23. Wiki page says 15. No idea if that's correct or not.
