Here is another example:
Without Ambient Occlusion
With Ambient Occlusion

Since the patch today I am having a new graphics issues that causes this giant boxing/digitalizing of the edges of objects.
I think, in some way, it is tied to Ambient Occlusion, since I noticed it decreases considerably when I turn down Ambient Occlusion, but it doesn't go away entirely. This issue popped up today, after this morning's patch.

I was eyeballing a few recipes - Very Rare Recipes - at the trashcan in the Crucible, for which I would need 20 merits.
20 merits x $20,000,000 = $400,000,000
I instead bought both recipes off of the Black Market for $40mil, total, and the salvage cost an additional $30mil.
So, $70mil vs $400mil (and not including the costs of salvage & creation).
So, the Villain/Hero merits aren't worth it, really. Not for $20mil to make. -
I will add this to Victory CoP's MTOD

Good run last night, kittens

I failed this twice last night on Victory. First time, we were able to enter Part Two, but Ruladak's shields kept reforming and the cube spawns returned. By the time we were able to defeat them and regroup, Rulakdak's health was back up to full.
The second time, we were unable to enter the second part. We could not see the progress of the other two teams at the obelisks.
I was reminded why Warburg nukes are off limits to me as well. No mezz protection in PvP zones, and I am unable to approach the scientists on any character with an aggro aura, which includes my chief badge characters and any character I'll be interested in doing this with.
I fear that by the time this is fixed, no one will want to run it any more. Frustration with highly choreographed, easy-to-fail endgame raids has led me to quit more than one game. -

OK. Flaming Scott is my Thermal Coruptor. Can Ignious Lion (@Canada Bear) join my team as the brute?

That must be it. Everyone will need Incarnate salvage, so you'll be able to put together a full 24 toon raid, and even if you only got one piece of salvage per run, if it's only 15 minutes that's a good deal.
I would prefer a more fun CoP, though. I'm not a monster. -
If the mobs at least droped inspirations...

Yes. You can't join if you're a Hero or Vigilante.

I plan to have a few in the "gray" area, but I definitely want to bring my Troller Redside.
None of my villains are reedemable. -

Thank you for the responses re: the SG/VG membership thing. That was a big concern of mine in regards to the CoP. I've got a solo SG that my main hero created in '04. I'd hate to have to join another SG just to try the CoP. Unless you were running it with your SG

Damn RNG.

I'll be there, but may be a few mins late.

Quote:Do you remember the temp power options were?Originally Posted by The_Masque
We did a follow up raid that was completed in 18 minutes. I think the key points (as MP stated) was:
3 Team Leaders were on Vent- It helped to coordinate when to take the obelisks.
2 'shielders' per team- FF/Colds.
Lots of debuffers (again here is where colds are nice).
Tanks that are WP/stone(maybe shield)- we ended up with 4 tanks all WP iirc.
Scrappers are great as damage dealers because they have mez protection.
As far as nukes/shivans/Heavies- When all was said and done only 4 bio-nukes were dropped and 1 or 2 chems. We did have a lot of Vanugard Heavies out, I counted at least 10 when we were done, and a few shivans shuffling around.
We dropped pets(most of us) then stacked team aura buffs at the door (RAs/AM) then split into 3 groups once the shields were down we converged on Ru' and spawned the rest of the pets and dropped 3 Bio nukes and the chem(s). We were not able to get him the 1st go around so we cleared the cubes again and the second time we converged we dropped 1 bio nuke and he was finished off rather fast.
18 minutes- 2 badges, 6 merits and a temp power. -
Quote:I haven't gotten a total confirmed list yet of what the end rewards truly are as of now (Live) since it was only successfully completed once in Beta, back in May I believe, and some things have changed then.Originally Posted by Soul Storm
What are the end rewards? Do you get Hero Merits from this or just normal merits or what? Can you include a list in the OP at the end of the post?
Castle has also remarked that he was asked the Rewards Committee to look into increasing the rewards for the Cathedral of Pain. -
Quote:Only the team leaders of each team need to be in the same SG/VG.Originally Posted by Dark One
Is it necessary for all 24 (or however many) players to be in the same SG/VG?
We tried running it once with a team leader in a coalitioned SG and it caused the missions to spawn multiple instances that people were randomly assigned to. -
Quote:That's why I suggest on the first time the shield goes down for an obelisk for a team to beat it down to 10hp or so and maintain that until the other two obelisk are within the same health range. The next time the shield is down to defeat it, giving the other two a 35 second window to defeat theirs as well.Originally Posted by ArwenDarkblade
I tried this tonight with three full teams. We defeated the Rularuu just fine, got our obelisks exposed just fine, but then found that they weren't synced well. One of them always got it's shield back up much faster than the others, and no matter what we did, they were never in sync. It was frustrating and unfun. We never even got into the Cathedral.
You want to wait until you see something approximately like this:
Gloom: 17hp
Woe: 23hp
Despair: 8hp
Once all three obelisks are within that health range, it is worth to take your obelisk down, giving the other two to expose and defeat theirs within that 35 second window. -
Ran this tonight, Blueside on Victory. It worked having each team beat their obelisks down to around 15 hp on the first shield down, and then defeating on the second shield down. We were into the Cathedral within 20 minutes.
Once inside, rather than moving around in one giant group, we split up and each team took a cube. That also helped get the barrier down quickly.
But Ruladak regens WAY TOO FAST. -
Great run, Cannon! We got close!

I also created a global channel "Cathedral of Pain" on live for anybody that wants to discuss and/or organize CoP runs.

I'll lead Team Gloom - Ellen Akres, Lvl 50
-
It's one hour, max.

Also, added the global channel to use: Victory CoP

Got some of you placed
