  4. Hi,

    probably not the kind of farming you mean, but just in case may I point you to the mission

    http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Televi...ver_give_up.21

    which by using flashback under the mission title of "Video games made me do it" can be farmed for the defeat PPD badge "No Authority".

    If this is not what you are after my best wishes for a speedy more relevent answer to your quest

    Cheers
  5. Hi Guys,

    thank you for your inputs and support

    So I finally got it by running a different alt.

    I used the "Show Villain Name" option and got 12 targets and saved the hostage and ran him to the elevators and got the usual mission complete stuff.

    So I then swapped back to my original alt and reran the arc still with Vill name option set. Guess what, yep only 11 targets....arghhhhh.

    I have bugged it but agree that it is and should be way down on the "Things to do" lists for the Dev's.

    Thanks again everybody
  6. You mean something like "Crotchless" badge?

    Arghh wait ..... stupid typo's
  7. Hi,

    well I have now run this 5 times solo and still have not got the badge.

    I only ever seem to find 11 of the injured guys!

    I have screen shots of both floor plans, but in any case they are so simple I have them memorised by now.

    I am using the target bind as above and have stealth to check behind the hostage in the last upstairs room. (never found one!)

    I have noticed that on a number of occasions an injured target only spawns after I have walked past it's location, which makes me wonder if that could be happening as I use the door to the top floor. I usually do not have the time to backtrack to far.

    I will try again a couple of times and if no success will bug it

    I am asking if anybody has found an injured target in a really tricky location or anything that may help me. I am assuming that the targets spawn in random locations each run.

    Could I run this teamed up and split the team half and half between floors so we then both have 5 mins (ish) to search a floor?

    Thanks
  8. Hi,

    Hi Guys,

    well got it last night.

    This time, and using the advise from all the above contributions, I slowly and carefully read everything that I could.

    I did the "Meet Bilko" mish and then after checking in with Ross spoke to Marcos.

    I entered the mission, the one where you go in and enter the Coral and then arm the 3 bombs.

    I was about to enter the ship when I remembered the clue Marcos gave me about contacting him when in mish and started to look for a glowie/radio.

    I searched the whole map except one tiny bit which was the entry doors area. I finally went back there just because I was at a loss what to do and there right by the doors was the radio!

    Duh, because when I zoned in I was zoomed right in on my view and so I could not see it at my feet. I had then popped round the corner into the first passage.

    I must have done this on my first run as well and had not actually realised that I had to contact Marcos.

    Anyway this time I used the Radio and he appeared and all was well and the badge awarded at the end.

    I think the Radio should be around the corner or at least farther away from the entry spawn point.

    Cheers

    Hi Spatch,

    good thought about the dialogue chain!

    I did have an extended session with him and as it was early in the morning (2.30am) I may very well have made a wrong choice and screwed up

    It was immediately after this that Marcos ignored me so it looks as if that is what I did.

    In my defence I did try to be sensible about my choices but it was a bit vague/confusing at times to know what was the right path to take.

    In any case I will re-run later and pay particular attention to the texts.

    Thanks for your help

    Hi Guys,

    well nearly the same!

    Having read this thread I then went and soloed the arc via Flashback.

    I did go and speak to Marcos after the second mission and started to get sides.

    This carried on until I had the mission to meet "Bilko"?

    I did this and set him free, defeated the ambush and completed the mission.

    However from then on Marcos just ignore me saying I had "More important business to attend to".

    I did the mission inside the coral blob and got the end of arc badge but no "Connected". Sad and mystified Puppy

    And just as an aside, what a bore fest the last mission to defeat the army is. Felt like I was on a really poorly created and ill paying Farm!

    Cheers
  14. Hi,
    well this is really interesting as my main badger who has all 3 blue side respec badges has never been respeced. So does this mean I should be able to get all 6 badges?

    I am off to jolly well try!

    Watch this space
  15. Hi,

    well I had the opposite happen.

    I had rolled a new alt on Pinnacle and used my main alt to send a "Seed money" e-mail with 1 mil inf attached.

    I logged in my lowbie and claimed the 1 mil and deleted e-mail.

    Next day I logged in again and it was back!

    Claimed the 1 mil for a second time.

    As I was in Atlas I dropped a few newbie lowbies an early christmas present

    I just assumed it was a glitch till I spotted this tread. Hope you get your stuff back real soon.

    Cheers
  16. Hi

    welcome to the game

    Generally teaming means faster levelling.

    However this game is so full of story content that even soloing you can miss some stuff.

    That is the way it is designed.

    You can do a few things to help you see it all.

    You can roll another alt and do different contacts with it, or you could switch off your xp so you do not earn any levelling points till you switch it back on.

    This game is about the journey not getting to lvl 50. There is so much to do on the way.

    We also have a flashback system that you can use when you get to lvl 25 and that will let you do all the content you missed.

    Don't rush anything, go at your pace and explore a little, it will not affect the end result.

    Have fun

    Edit to add: When you use the flashback system your level is adjusted to the level of the game you are flashing back to
  17. Hello,

    when running for example, my Kin Def, I really want to keep track of my teamates SB status (I am in the camp that likes to use SB to keep my team buffed up). However I am not very good at tracking "time expired since last buff applied x 8"

    I know that I can expand the players Buff icons using the side arrow in the Team GUI window.

    However I do have trouble when I have 8 great long lines of Buffs stretching across my screen trying to pick out the SB buff. Especially so if I am using my laptop.

    Is there anyway I can hide all buff icons except the SB one, or any combinations I may want to see? Ideally I would like to reduce the Buff Lines to one or two icons.

    More in hope than expectations! Thanks
  18. Hi,

    the entry (there may be more that I am unaware of) to Praetoria for Primal alts is in the Pocket D.

    It is marked on the ingame map with a martini glass icon (you may have to check the "Lounge" option for thr map to display it) and is in the corner under the elevated Portal nearest the "Blue" side ie the other side to where we enter the Winter Chalet event.

    It looks like a wall mounted Portal. The niche it is in has a misty/foggy floor.

    Cheers
  19. Hello everybody,

    my main badge alt is currently a Villain Scrapper.

    Apart from 2 day jobs and their accolades, I now have all the redside specific badges I can collect. The few other badges I need can be progressed irrespective of alignment.

    So in prep for the new issue going live I am wondering which alignment will be the best for me to switch to?

    I am just guessing at Rogue, which will allow me to carry on with accumulating my DJ's time but also get me access to both Red and Blue for the new explore badges and both the new TF's/Story arc's?

    I have the GR expansion, but have deliberately not rolled an alt there so that my main badger will be my first time experience of Praetoria.

    Wll being a Rogue affect my badge collecting (or indeed any other aspect of the gameplay) in Praetoria?

    Any responses/thoughts/guidance et cetera will be most welcome.

    Thanks.

    PS. Speed of collection is not the most important factor, minimising any backtracking/reworking is a factor.

    I19 Badge Guide

    Hi,

    many thanks to all the Beta Testers who made these listings possible and to those who are working away getting the Badge Verification sites updated

    So given that we can also haul our Alts into Praetoria as well, do we have a maximum possible total of badges gettable now?

    Is it close to the 1250 badge?

    Also any word on how we access the Praet mission stuff type badges? Flashback or Begging for a lvl 1 to 20 team? ( 2nd account here I come!)

    Thanks
  21. Hi,

    it is a shame that in this case, the award of a badge is dependant on the award of a Respec ie the award of a reward choice, and not just dependant on the successful completion of the trial

    Hi,

    well it must be time for Christmas, cause over here the shops are full of Easter Eggs
  23. Hi,

    and getting the cursor to change to the "Click" mode at the Guards can be a bit tricky as the cursor position is quite location sensitive.

    Seriously, the best way to activate it is to hover around the crotch area of the guards. Silly but true I am afraid!

    Oh and enjoy Perez but be careful, bad dudes live there!
  24. Hi Polypro,

    and looking at the other four badges and the Accolade, it figures that the missing artwork is the same as the other four but with a red book.
  25. Heard ingame that BAB's and a bunch of others were let go last Thursday.

    Any official announcement?

    Cheers
