flipside

Just tried today and he tells me I'm all complete. I honestly don't know of any character I have which has partial completion with which to check, and I don't know which two mission you are referring to to validate if you are using the correct missions. Also, who/what is Heartless Attitude? I know that isn't a named NPC required for Dimensional Warder.

Welcome back! Hope you enjoy all the new features!

There are two methods to unlock the Alpha slot. The original way is to go to Ouroboros and run the mission arc from Mendor Ramiel. When you finish the arc, your Alpha slot will be unlocked. The new way is to earn Incarnate Experience by running any of the BaF, Lambda, or Keyes iTrials. You may need to run several of these trials to fully unlock the slot as, just with regular experience, you only get a portion of the whole for each trial run.

Click on the Powers button on your powers tray, which should open up to two headings: Combat Attributes and Incarnate Abilities. Click on Incarnate Abilities. This will open a window where you can craft all the abilities and see all the stats on them. Take special note that the Alpha slot can be slotted using two different system of components. Paragonwiki can be your friend here in seeing all that is involved with each system.

I don't run AE a lot, due to these very issues. But, I have taken a new character to the mid-teens solely through use of the AE and have not run into any obsessant farmers, players looking for PL handouts, etc. recently. Not sure to what level that is not occurring, but I haven't seen it. Now, that hasn't stopped people from making purely farm missions in AE. You just have to wade through that to find the real mission gems. I'd recommend looking at this thread for a start at decent AE content: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=263350

I think I see what you are saying here. You are commenting the possibility that there may be changes to existing powers in the sets for the Dominator you are playing, and if so, may require you to respec your character when they take effect in I21. While this is true for some powers I've seen mentioned, I haven't seen anything said for Dominators. I say the news that they have plans for Dominators later, as in after I21, but not for the release of I21. Regardless though, these are freespecs given out at those times. If you currently have one, it may behoove you to use it now so you get another one with I21 launches. Freespecs do not stack.

Don't really understand what this has to do with I21 or power changes. The Prestige Sprint powers (I'm assuming you mean the Vet reward ones) are all rewarded to you when you choose that option. If you respec afterwards, or chose them at a low enough level, you could slot the power of your choice (or all of them if you really had a reason to).

Thanks for the info. Looking over my build, there are really only 2 powers I would consider dropping, CJ and Placate. It would stink to loose CJ as it was going to be a good place for a LoTG and Kismet.

I should ask this now since I've just been assuming, but does Venom Grenade cause you to pull out a gun, or does it fire from the mace to eliminate redraw?

This'll show me to trust the Combat Attributes window.

In my first test, I simply had the window up and was looking at the Defense numbers as I went and attacked someone. The numbers didn't change at all.

After these responses, I tried adding my positional defense numbers to the combat monitor. Within there, the numbers did change when I attacked.

Thanks for pointing this out!

You're saying that a civilization that lives in a different dimension, on a physically different planet than our own, that happens to share the same name, is "our" planet?

So, if I say I live in San Jose, California, by your logic San Jose, Argentina is also my home city because it's also named San Jose?

Just to quip, but since before Brutes were playable on live servers.

Is this like an ability to ride free players as mounts?

When thinking about the question, I tried to think of things that were slightly to probably unlikely but appear to have a low overhead in terms of the devs being able to make a badge unlock it. I have to believe that everyone at Paragon Studios, including the overnight cleaning crew, are 125% involved in Issue 21 and Freedom so it would have to be "easy to do," and unlocking a couple of costume pieces seemed easy enough.

I don't like the idea either of unlocking them either, but it seemed like a possibility in my head.

Nothing to add to this thread other than to say that this made me laugh so hard that I'd like to order it on a bumper sticker. That is all.

The Rotate Camera keymap. No matter how much I click the button doesn't seem to recognize it.

That's where I've been trying to set it, not via a bind command. It's a mouse wheel button press, not an actual button.
