Huh, I didn't know that happened with minor arcs. That'd explain why some of my Prae arcs seemed to have really weird endings...

First of all, Servers are down at 9 AM ET for patching.
Secondly, if that's not the problem, check out this thread, Common Solutions & Posting Guidelines
Then post the results of these two programs:
- CoH Helper - it will show us basic computer settings and your CoH configuration.
- HijackThis - it will show us what's running on your computer concurrently with CoH. Click on "Do a system Scan and save a logfile." It will automatically open up Notepad and put the info there. Make sure Wordwrap is off in Notepad (Format > Wordwrap unchecked) before you cut and paste here.

Can a rogue join either a SG or VG and can a vigilante join either a SG or VG? Hope you get what I'm asking. =P
A Vigilante is still basically a Hero, and thus, can't join a Villain SG or enter a Villain Base.
What these 'Tourists' *can* do on the 'other side' is:
- do Newspaper/Radio missions (and thus get contacts for the other side, but can't actually talk to those contacts till they cross over 'all the way')
- join any team on the other side that doesn't involve going into their base or their version of Ouroboros (no Cathedral of Pain nor Flashbacks as a Tourist)
- start or participate in the other side's Task or Strike Forces

Quote:That is only true of arcs tagged as major arcs.Originally Posted by Memphis_Bill
... except that doesn't happen. You can still complete story arcs you've outleveled.
The arcs in Praetoria are all tagged as minor arcs and if you level out of their range, your contact will immediately stop giving you the rest of the missions of the arc.
Besides, the important Morality Choice mission is a separate arc, so, even if one could finish, say, Reese's arc, when you hit level 11; he then wouldn't give you the Morality Mission because that's a separate arc and you've outleveled him. -

Unbridled optimist. I'll bet we get 2 in Player Questions plus 3 more that are rants about it plus 3 more here plus one rant.

Now, with all the ATs mixed up, no one is quite sure what their team role is. I expect this to get better over the next few months.

Might be feasibly done as a Pop Help.

Quote:Are you saying that Kalinda won't give you the cape mission but instead has you running the level 1 missions first?Originally Posted by jerrylee
Just a small complaint, when we start going Rogue, we can switch to the traditional Rogue Island zone at lvl 20. If we want a cape, we must then contact Kalinda on Mercy and then run her missions. This seems a bit redundant. If we had started in COV, at 20 we would have already run her missions. Just seems to be a bit of a pain. Any opinions?

Mechanically, taking down the War Walls and putting in Vista Tech would require COMPLETELY RE-DOING AT LEAST 20 ZONES.
Not only that, each zone would be 10 times larger (since Vista Tech requires each zone incorporating a low rez version of all the nearby surrounding zones).
Or, they can shut off the War Wall forcefield permanently, but then you'd be able to get to and see how ugly the pseudo-skyline is beyond the War Wall. And if they fix that, then, they'd be COMPLETELY RE-DOING AT LEAST 20 ZONES.
This would take most of the Dev team a full year to do and keep them from doing anything else in the meantime.
So, not likely to happen until CoH2, if that ever happens. -
I'll be appearing in an empty parking lot by the closed hardware store.

Thanks for the mission summary. I updated the post above with it!

'Lounge' needs to be enabled on the drop down menu in the mini-map to find Studio 55 in ImpCity. -
I'll play that MMO: City of Batpeople.

Honestly, Zombie, I've never known you to be such an alarmist. Until there's a developer statement regarding the topic, there's no reason to go about using your caps lock like that.
When I become alarmist fire will rain down from on high.
Just so you know.

Quote:Tell me about it. I write a weekly bulletin consisting of internal and local events for my organization and I like to play a game with the people in the office called, "Guess who's crazy?" and have them try to spot why a submitted blurb is useless (no listing of time) or just plain crazy (a casino night with an open bar for an anti-drug organization).Originally Posted by Schismatrix
i can't tell you the number of club events that left out significant information on the flier. Like giving the day of the week, but leaving out the month and year. Supplying a street address without mentioning what city or state it's in. Providing little or no contact info at all. Not listing any sort of schedule/hours. The list can go on forever.
Getting back to the GR print ad:
"Available Now" should have been "Free Trial Available Now". -
According to support, Praetorian toons can not unlock EATs.
THIS IS VERY BAD.
If Praetoria is billed as 'the new starting zone for new players'. This means new players who only use Praetoria as their starting zone WILL NEVER UNLOCK AN EAT.
That's not good. And if that information is right, it should change.
From support:Question Why can't I make an Epic Archetype character in City of Heroes?
Answer There are four unlockable character archetypes in City of Heroes. Two begin their careers as Heroes and two as Villains. They include:- Heroes: Peacebringers, Warshades (also known as Kheldians)
- Villains: Arachnos Soldiers, Arachnos Widows
It is not possible to change archetypes for existing characters, nor is it possible to start a new character as a Praetorian Epic Archetype (if you have Going Rogue).
I have a Level 20+ character, but I can't create a new Epic Archetype character!
Log into the character that's Level 20 or higher. Wait about 30 seconds, then log off. The option to create a new Epic Archetype character for the Level 20+ character's "side" should be available.
Note: Level 20 characters that started as Praetorians do not currently unlock Epic Archetypes, though in-game messaging might suggest otherwise. Only characters created as a Hero or as a Villain will count.
Note: Epic Archetypes used to require a character be advanced to Level 50. This was changed in April 2010 with the release of Issue 17.

Quote:It should, log out on that level 21 the long way (countdown to log in screen) and shut down the client. Then, restart the game and log into that level 21. Then log back out to the character creation screen and you should be able to make a Villainous EAT. Choose new Villain and you should have Widows and Soldiers enabled. If that works, you won't have to go through that rigmarole to play the VEAT.Originally Posted by Bruce_Lightning
Hey,
Recently I created a DS/Dark Mastermind in Praetoria. I got him upto level 20, then moved him to Villains. It didn't lock any of the epic archetypes. I thought that maybe I needed to hit a level first, so I levelled him to 21 and still no change. I then made a new villain and got him to level 2, to see if that activated it, but theyre still grayed out.
Do I have to make a villain from scratch to unlock these?
Thanks

If you don't get access to VEATs by doing what I said, then open up a support ticket and a Game Master will fix your account. -
If you have Going Rogue, you might want to think about 'farming' the Morality Mission for an Alignment Merit.
Do five Tip Alignment missions one day, and then five Tip Alignment missions plus one Tip Morality mission the next day and you get an Alignment Merit.
Once Alignment Merit equals roughly 100 - 250 Reward Merits, depending what you buy with it. -
Adobe,
Stop loading stay-resident programs into my memory without my knowledge or permission!
Stop loading start-ups into my registry without my knowledge or permission!
Stop nagging me about updating PDF reader every five minutes!
Stop stacking your nags so that if I ignore your nags I don't have to click through the dismissal of the previous 20 nags!
Stop updating PDF reader every week so you have a reason to keep your name in my sight, and attempting to load stay residing programs in my memory and other programs in my start up registry without my knowledge or permission!
Stop bloating your supposedly simple PDF reader so that when I read any PDF file, my computer hangs for 20 seconds completely unresponsive! What kind of horribly, horribly written code does that!
Stop being evil!
Stop being used as a standard text file, you don't deserve it!
There, *that's* a rant!
