Hi Guys,

I saw Sarah-Taxibot 2 just the other day. She was having fun trying to take down Luska

Hi Guys,

lol I just came in to say that I had found the perfect mish whilst getting the last couple of Accomplishment badges and stumbled across the Couch Potato from the Video.

However, and as usual, the wise heads have beat me to it

Thank you Snowie and all of you for the inputs. I am well on my way to the badge and a couple of runs should see me finished.

Cheers

PS I hope this helps out all the other Bluesiders that have recently switched and are treading the same well worn path.

Hi Guys,

and same no "Pop up" for me on that badge and I also had the same with " Army of Me" badge.
Playing solo both times and had other badges award and notify as normal in betwen.
Am a Villain Hero.
Both missing award mesages during last play session a couple of hours ago.


Edit to add: I checked my Most recent list as soon as I exited mission and the badge was there on both ocassions.

Hi,

and the odd number one can be a 25 or 30.

Edit to add: The damage badge for 25-30 is "Warhead" and actually requires 8 at 25 and 8 at 30 and one other at either level. (You can also craft Knockback IO's that count as well.)

I suspect that you have to get two sets of 8 before it will then count the 17th one other? Whether it will then automatically take one of the extra's you have already created or require you to do one more you will find out when you have crafted number 8 of the level 30 set.

Hi Guys,

well it looks like the way to go is indeed Mayhems.

In truth I was just being lazy (well at least trying to avoid ) about grinding out 5 Papers just to get one Mayhem.

I also wanted to check there was no one mish I could farm like the one for Longbow on Blue side.

I am a lvl 50 Scrapper gone full Villain, so will suck it up and go get those dudes with a wry smile. And as you so rightly point out get all the associated Mayhem badges along the way.

Thank you all for such prompt and helpful responses

Hello everybody,

Blue sider gone to the Red and doing the "Thin Line" defeat badge, defeat 1000 PPD police peoples.

Am usually solo and happy to run at +8 foes so would be grateful for any steers as to a good location or mission (not mayhems) that I could crack on to the total please.

Thanks muchly.

Hi Guys,

can I make a guess that you have all gone 100% Hero/Villain?

I started at 749 and stayed Hero for 7 days to get the loyalty badge as I suspect that I will not go back full Hero for a long while, and so only yesterday went Vigilante.

I had a cracking day and collected 102 more for a current total of 851 so still a long way behind the 940ish levels.

I can work away on a few more, but hope that I will get a second nice award of Villian badges when I go full Red. I did help take down Deathsurge so that one is in escrow. I sooo want to flashback and start doing all those badge arcs

Well done to all of you and back on topic I have no thoughts on 1000 because of missing Vet badges. I do not think even the Praetorian badges would get me there.

Happy collecting.

Hi Guys,

oops did I say Storm Palace, my bad Sorry.

I also agree 100% about the fog and graphics but after having a mini rant about the mish objectives I was being low key on them.

Given that the objectives are so misleading that they can have you searching for a corpse, the fog is really agravating!

Also it is very difficult to judge distances with the fog/graphics as they are, so when I did see the Chantry () I thought it was way too far off to be part of the mish map and carried on searching the plateau.

Well said Beef.

Hi,

are you saying that today you had to download a 3.6 Gb patch that was actually just over 5 Mb or do you mean that having downloaded the 5 Mb you then had to apply 3.6 Gb of data.

If it is the latter then as far as I know everybody has to apply the 3.6 Gb after every patch no matter what the actual size of the patch is.

And yes it is a bit antiquated, but I guess the wise heads here will explain to us why we have this system.

I just usually go off and plant a sapling and then watch till it hits the ten feet mark before I come back and log in

Cheers

Edit to add: lol you beat me to it Dumpleberry (as usual)

Hi,

I had exactly the same situation a couple of days ago and was ripping hair out after about an hour of searching.

Anyway I did eventually find her inside the Storm Palace. The mission objectives were to deal with the Portal, which I did by just clicking on it, and also to defeat Black Swan.

She was quickly dispatched but no end of mission stuff started.

I then saw a further new mission objective had appeared to "Discover what had happened to Statesman!" Not a clue as to what to do I then spent another hour again searching the map looking for him or his body. Nothing.

Utterly at a loss I returned inside the Storm Palace and well angry by this time started to kick around the few odd minions that were still about because they had not aggroed whilst taking down Black Swan. As I defeated the last one the end of mission stuff kicked in and I was done.

At no time was there any hint that what the last mission objective was was actually a "Defeat all inside the Storm Palace" job.

I hope you see this before you go back for a retry and that it helps save a lot of angst and time

Hi,

just checked the timer via the info screen from the powers icon in the powers menu and the countdown timer is now showing 40 hrs 3 mins and some seconds.

I assume that from 7 days to go down to 2 days to go, it only shows whole days, then at 48 hours to go the actual times are shown.

I am sure I saw something about 48 hour countdown clocks displays during beta but cannot remember in what context.

I have bugged this (yes I know it is not bugged but just as a heads up for the Dev's) in the hope that the timer will get added to the buff icon for ease of checking.

Cheers

Hi,

you defeat any foes over lvl 20 during any type of mission you want to do. Radio's or Papers or contact missions or just by street sweeping. You can even use the foes from the Banner event et cetera as long as they are over 20.

They drop tips on a random basis. You use these tips (up to 5 max per 20 hour period) to do alignment missions till you have your alignment bar filled up. It takes 10 missions to do that so nearly 2 days.

When you have reached that situation you then carry on defeating any over lvl 20 foes till you get the next random tip drop. That will be a Morality mission. Do that and you will have switched to that alignment.

Repeat all that to go the next step to full Hero/Villian.

The tips, when they have dropped are found in your Contact menu in a new tab called "Tips".

Everybody can do the alignment tips missions but only players with GR can get the Morality tips missions to actually change alignment.

At present there is only one way in and out of the new stuff in Praetoria, the way in is to roll a new Praetorian toon, and the way out is to level it to 20.

Hi Guys,

if you go to the Powers menu and then to the temp powers section and find the Hero Buff power icon and then right click and select info, the gui popup box has a countdown timer in days. I did exactly the same as Beef and that timer is dropping a day at a time, no hours or seconds.

Am now down at 3 days time left to get the power and presumably the 7 day loyalty badge?

Cheers

Edit to add:
1. I have no idea why the "info" popup gui's are different when you do it via the under the xp bar icon and doing it from the powers menu icon.
2. The timer actually says "will activate in 3 days real time"

Hi,

my Claws/SR scrappie has

Ninja + Sprint + Swift + Quickness + Elude and I get 86.7 mph.

Even without Elude I still whizz about at a satisfactory rate.

Cheers

PS. It also has Fly as a main & thematic travel power.

Hi Guys,

the screenie linked to, is in fact a competition!

"Spot the Nagatray"

Place your cross in the centre of the Nagatray and the nearest to it at close of comp will win a Naga.

Entries cost $10 and are to sent to, Mmmm - well my global would be good Closing date for entries midnight 31 Dec 2020.

The judges decision is final.

Hi Guys,

just to clarify please,

Defeat badges -

Desdemona I get by doing a Vill/rogue tip mission

Seers I get by doing the new Tina's arc

Praetorian Clockwork I get by doing ??

Thanks

Hi Guys,

cookies all round

So many choices that I will have a good think about which way to go before I jump in. With no need to take a travel power I do have slots and plenty of Inf to spend so will have a session in Mids using all the ideas you have given me and form a "Plan".

Thanks again.

Hi Guys,

am running a Kat/WP scrappie and have taken Boxing as a precurser to taking Tough & Weave. I have no intention of using Boxing and the first slot is lying there empty.

I have read a few of the guides that have WP as a secondary and most have Boxing/Tough/Weave and have slotted Boxing with an Accuracy or Damage IO.

Is there something more useful like a Global Proc or something that I could slot that would be of some benefit to my overall build? Use it as a mule slot.

Thanks

Hi Guys,

I take photos (screenies but more planned and posed) of my alts in exotic locations and at different times of the day, as well as all the "on the spur of the moment" shots like the team members snap of my first completion of the STF.

The Shards are fantastic and in particular the Storm Palace, but even a sunrise or set in Eden or Croatoa are really worthy.

City views from up on high, or, by using invisibility, real detailed closeups of all the foes when they are not aggroed are other things to take.

I got a seperate removable HD that I store them on and after 3 years there are penty of them to store. I like to browse them and remember times like training my first lvl 50 et cetera. Mmmm I wonder just how many of that STF team are still active players? Must post a list and see

Bored, no way. Enjoy.
