Quote:In this very thread Positron confirms the lack of badge is a known bug.Originally Posted by Gashes
Hmmmm. Got a tip mission after 'forevah', ran it successfully, waited for clockwork to show up, fought them, got bored, exited. No badge, no indication of working the alignment bar, but, the mission was still there immediately (do the mobs IN the tip drop tips that could be halloween?), so not sure if the mission didnt end correctly, or I (somehow) got a tip drop for the same mission, in the mission (it was a different location).
Completed the second, nothing (no badge, reward screens, etc).
So, since I NOW have the book that can rewrite reality, can I rewrite reality to give myself a badge? I want the 'I have power to rewrite the universe, but all I did was get this stupid badge' badge.
If you intend to use the Malleus Mundi, you do know you have to read it first, right?

Mission Text:
Navigation bar: Recover the Malleus Mundi
Peregrine Island
Tip objective: Recover the Malleus Mundi
Mission entrance text: Magical energy resonates around you. The Malleus Mundi did want you here, otherwise that door would have just been a door. Far off in the distance you hear the electronic chatter and clanking of Praetorian Clockwork making their way down here as well.
Objective: Recover the Malleus Mundi
Defeat Libri Vermis, Clockwork arrival time 4:39
[NPC] Guide: We should prepare for the worst.
[NPC] Guide: This odd device is letting out some sort of beeping...
[NPC] Guide: Seriously?
[NPC] Behemoth: They said Praeotria was shades of gray. This looks awfully blue to me.
[NPC] Behemoth: My spells do seem to be taking longer to cast.
[NPC] Behemoth: Does the magic seem harder to access here?
[NPC] Guide: Gimme that thorn blade. You're too dumb to wield it.
[NPC] Ice Thorn Caster: So if we're gonna be here a while, are you going to pick a side? Loyalist or Resistance?
[NPC] Ice Thorn Caster: They said not to drink that stuff!
[NPC] Ice Thorn Caster: I had some water here the other day. Made me feel really good.
[NPC] Libri Vermis: I will protect the Malleus Mundi with my life.
[NPC] Libri Vermis: Interlopers! The power of this book shall be mine and mine alone!
[NPC] Cleaner: ++SYS.REQ; SEC_RTY.BRE_ACH(TNL) = True; For TGT in TNL; FOE.LST.Append(TGT)
[NPC] Sweeper: ++SYS.REQ; SEC_RTY.BRE_ACH(TNL) = True; For TGT in TNL; FOE.LST.Append(TGT)
[NPC] Sweeper: ++SYS.REQ; SEC_RTY.BRE_ACH(TNL) = True; For TGT in TNL; FOE.LST.Append(TGT)
System: You have defeated Libri Vermis and recovered the (a?) Malleus Mundi.
The Malleus Mundi is under your guard, for now. -
Content
System: You received a tip.
Whispered Rumor
Tip
Investigate...
Hushed voices speak of the Malleus Mundi and its connection to the Circle of Thorns
Investigate the rumors...
The Malleus Mundi is an ancient text, one of the oldest bound books known to still be in existance. It is a magical focal point as well as a book of some of the most powerful spells ever devised. Whispers speak of its powers being able to bind gods, destroy moons, and re-write the fabric of reality itself.
Rumors now speak of the Circle of Thorns, the magical villain organization from Primal Earth, having their hands on the book, or at least a version of the book. They have never been able to hold onto the Malleus Mundi for any length of time. Someone always tracks them down and takes it from them. Some might say that the book wants to cause strife and conflict, and it uses its own powers to make it so.
If true, the Circle of Thorns can not possibly keep the book secured. You have a chance to recover it.The Circle have once again tried to secure the book from interlopers, this time by hiding it in a dimension different than their native one. Praetoria. If the Malleus Mundi wants to it can turn any door into a portal to the Circle's lair on Praetoria, giving you access. From then on, you are on your own.
Recover the Malleus Mundi
With resignation you accept the task at hand. One question burns your mind though: what exactly will YOU do with the Malleus Mundi once you recover it?
Text corrections and suggestions (see bolded red text above):
existance > existence
re-write > rewrite
recover it.The Circle > recover it. The Circle
native one. Praetoria. > native one: Praetoria.
wants to it can > wants to, it can
One question burns your mind though: > One question burns in your mind, though:
Confusion: The Malleus Mundi wants to be found and stolen. It can create a portal for you to get there. So... how do we actually know which door to use? I suggest something like this:
If the Malleus Mundi wants to, it can turn any door into a portal to the Circle's lair on Praetoria, giving you access. And after hearing that whisper, sure enough, you get a vision of a nearby door. It seems the Malleus Mundi is the source of the whispers and visions and is showing you the way. Once you get there, though, you are on your own. -
Tips:
So, you can indeed get a Halloween Tip even if you already have three:
And, they're not on a timer. After completing the HTip, I dismissed it and within 20 seconds I got a new one ToTing. -

Quote:Yes you fail. No, there will be no opt out toggle -- that would be a coding nightmare for little gain.Originally Posted by Brakner
on a side note my SG runs Master TF's / SF's almost daily, what happenes if one of these events is in a zone we are running a master in and we wipe? Does this mean we fail? If so, they need to change that or allow an "opt out" toggle.
Current MoTFs have to watch out for level-appropriate foes in the streets (esp. snipers) and the Zombie/Rikti Events that happen all year round.
You have an event channel to warn you if a zone has an event running. Just be careful. -
Quote:At the same panel in which the I20 pre-Beta was announced there was a huge powerpoint graphic that explained it was to test the End Game content.Originally Posted by blueruckus
During the PAX Panel, Positron mentioned that a signed NDA will be required because they're 'introducing new systems that would be brand new to the game'. I'm paraphrasing here so that is not the EXACT quote, but that's pretty much the gist of it (I think the panel is up on Youtube somewhere if you wanna go back and listen). Of course, he did not go in to specifics but the way he was talking about it, it seemed like it was much more than just a couple of minor changes here and there.
Divorced from that information, the idea of a signed NDA led people to dream up all sorts of wild ideas about "What could possibly be the reason for A SIGNED NDA??!!!!!!"
The answer: A head start on testing End Game content.
Further speculation is unwarranted unless you want to speculate on what 'End Game content' is. -
They can always go the Kevin Sorbo Hercules route: No need to have a body builder -- just assume magical great strength. This way, you only need someone just basically fit and can't act.

Quote:In those cases it was either because they forgot to warn us of the freespec and they granted another, or, because a post-patch change which made a significant change to an AT or powerset.Originally Posted by Nethergoat
Hand out one with the issue then hand out another one shortly thereafter.
I believe they've done exactly that before.
Not extra enhancement slot, but an Incarnate Slot which acts like you have more enhancements than you do. This alone would increase the need to respec often. If you just acquired 33% End in all powers, you might want to pull a few EndReduxes out of a few of them. But, then you might hurt yourself if you exemplar since the Incarnate Boost doesn't work while exemplared. This is why the Incarnate system grants a third build so you can have an Incarnate Build on top of your other builds.Quote:Originally Posted by Maxwell
I believe the incarnate system is supposed to give extra slots. -
A necro post I can live with!

Strobing is relatively easy on bandwidth and GPU resources to change the color overlay of a costume bit.
Changing costumes asks the local client to pull up textures from the hard drive creating a greater burden.
And since that 30 second limit, we can now change models which involves the server removing the old model and replacing it with the new with all its new costume pieces. So, actually, costume changing is now more burdensome on systems than less.
Should the timer be looked at to see if it can be lowered? Yes. But we should be ready to accept the judgment if it is "Sorry, we can't." -
Torrent can send a whole crowd flying out of draw distance.

We need a /ragequit command that permanently deletes all toons and permanently closes the account.
That'll show them!
And if it also puts all your stocks in the company on the market... eh... make it so. -

Quote:That's my take.Originally Posted by Kyasubaru
9. I don't really consider Power Customization done until we can customize pools and epics.
And I'm sorry when I said it I deflated BAB's pride in what he had done, which was truly outstanding. But to wait more than one Issue for the Pools to be customized means that Power Customization is, IMO, a failure.
What good is it if I can turn my red primary powers green and my blue secondary powers green but can't turn my overwhelming Speed Pool powers from that hideous yellow to my thematic green?
More people take the Power Pools than any Primary or Secondary and thus, in a way, they become even more Primary. Or they should be prioritized as such.
Until Pool Powers are customizable, what has been done is a unfinished job. And if there was a definite timetable, I could be patient. But because it's unfinished with no definite plan to be finished... sorry to say it... it's just unprofessional. -
Quote:I smell an excellent player-poll in the works. War Witch? TheOcho?Originally Posted by Lothic
It's funny but now that the Posi TF is no longer a generally accepted "bad" TF we can now focus on some of the other oldest TFs like Synapse as being the current "bad" TFs that need to be fixed. It'd be cool if the Devs set in motion a plan to systematically update all the oldest TFs. Maybe they could try to do one every Issue as an ongoing "modernization" effort.

Quote:You forgot the robots that can build other robots.Originally Posted by Cowman
So let's list the recent robot innovations.
Robots with emotions.
Robots who can lie.
The ability to shoot arrows.
The ability to understand pain.
So basically we've got a robot who can get angry at us, lie to us about it's intentions, and then cap us in the head while our back is turned.
That's the one that's all Replicant-y. -
The lines get crazy near the bottom. And I would have liked to have seen a pic for each resolution. But, overall, pretty good.
Quote:Jock #1: [at a party] What's up, babes?Originally Posted by Forbin_Project
She offered him beer?
You can get guys to do almost anything if you tell them there will be free beer involved.
Woman - "Honey, would you come with me to a three day seminar discussing how women can effectively balance a career in corporate america and a healthy family life?"
Guy - "I'm sorry, but I don't think I can make it."
Woman - "They'll have free beer."
Guy - "If we can get there early we can get seats close to the bar."
Womynist #1: Pack up your r*** culture and take a hike!
Jock #1: [holds up a beer] You want a brewdog?
Womynist #1: We're not interested in your *****!
Womynist #2: Wait, wait, I think he's offering us a beer.
[turns to jock, speaks slowly]
Womynist #2: Um... Yes. We, would like, a beer.
Jock #1: Okay!
[turns around to get a beer]
Womynist #1: So it's like, if you're nice to them, they *bring* you things?
Womynist #2: Exactly.

The only other time I experience anything similar is down in the bowl of the Rikti mothership during a raid when I haven't turned down my graphics settings. My framerate returned to normal once I left that room. I'm running Windows 7, 3.6 gHz dual core CPU, 4 gigs RAM, and Radeon 5850 with most current drivers.

Quote:This is a brand new bug!Originally Posted by Kheldarn
During the time you've been gone from Test, they've mucked with the database a few times. This is the result. You'll have to delete characters until you have 11 or less. All unlocked slots will be relocked. Once you have 11 or less characters, you'll be able to redeem slots normally.
Just buying new slots automatically repairs things without redeeming them. -
