How come your forum name is yellow/gold and everyone else is white?
User CP, left panel, Networking, Group Memberships. You can select either the standard or the VIP for your style

Quote:Ya, turns out I failed at reading. Misunderstood the nature of the problem. I still imagine it's a case of the title getting reset on 'faction change' between Loyalist and Resistance [and the assumed 'default'].Originally Posted by Pengy
Actually, you can have Statesmashers in Paragon, as long as they pick the title in Praetoria and leave it completely alone in Paragon. It's only switching between red and blue that clears your title. That might be a bug, maybe gold titles are supposed to be cleared on side switching, too.

I mostly liked the arc. It was short, yes, I do understand part of that is because it's on two sides [even though the missions were largely mirrors of each other].
But I can't say the Arc is worth 400 points. I'm ok with it being included as part of a VIP sub, but it's not worth 400 points. I can see maybe 400 points for all 7 [then it'd be a bit more comparable to First Ward -- 600 points]. -

Quote:Yes, they were 2000 census names. It's also possible to have been for an individual who was in the process of transitioning. Or as other folks mentioned, just been an atypical name.Originally Posted by Oldeb
Most likely user error. Of someone filling out the 2000 US census form.
My understanding is that for the generic NPCs you see walking around they just stripped first names from the 2000 census. So every time you see a weird spelling or unusual name it's a name someone in the US claimed to have. -
Quote:Unless I'm mistaken [quite possible], the repeatable missions are pretty empty missions akin to newspaper and radio missions.Originally Posted by Dollymistress
Level 50. I've tried on several alts of different alignment and none of the repeatable contacts will give me anything to do.
Is the content capped at 29-30? So my 50s can use Ouro to run the main story, but never access the repeatable missions?
I also believe them to be level locked.
Also, I don't really think they will fit in much as an opportunity for villainy moment. -
Quote:To be fair, Temporal Retraction isn't really out of scope for this genre however. And part of the real difficult issue if something is explicitly a retcon [as opposed to a continuity error].Originally Posted by Arcanaville
I21 destroys Galaxy City. It was here, and now its not here (or at least, only its ruins are here). What if the devs decided to retcon it out of existence instead. There never was a Galaxy City. It wasn't destroyed, it was just never here at all. That's fundamentally different. -
Quote:I'm actually going with intentional feature/misfeature.Originally Posted by Necrotech_Master
thats a different issue then, sounds like a probable bug
You are technically changing sides when you go from Praetoria to Primal. And the sides have different titles available.
So, the game resets your title upon side-change. Can't have any Statesmashers in Paragon City!

Quote:My run on ... Thursday I want to say also had confusion hit us in the tunnels. I think it may have been more a quirk of your group's layout [and forcing everyone to be in range of the Clarion buffs] than a feature change.Originally Posted by Winterminal
I led an Underground Trial this evening, and we succeeded where we should have failed.
First, we decided to pull the Avatar out of the room, into the tunnels, to fight the Avatar without having to deal with the Confuse effect. However, the confusion followed us to the tunnels. This tactic had been most effective up until today's patch. I am curious to know if this was working as intended, and is now bugged, or if today's patch "fixed" that and it is now working as intended.
Now the other bug. Due to our assumption that we would not be dealing with the confuse, we did not do so well once we had the Avatar in the tunnel, and eventually, I watched with despair as the last few seconds of the "Time Until Defeat" clock ticked away. It had been a damn good run up until then. But then, the clock hit zero... And then the clock started to tick upward, in a positive direction. Everyone was still on map, nobody had "failed." So, we all committed suicide, loaded up on Break Frees in the hospital, took down the Avatar, and got our merits.
TL;DR version: The Underground Trial did not fail when the clock hit zero during the fight with the Avatar, and the mass Confuse followed the Avatar out of the final room. Is the latter working as intended?
Course, we also did get hit with the Trial failed [although I believe that was from Desdemona]. -
Quote:Star Wars EU is actually pretty interesting example. Up until the prequels, the EU was more of a super-set of the canon [that had been approved by one the Lucas companies, not sure which to be honest]. However, with the prequels, a lot of the EU canon came into conflict, changing the EU canon from being a super-set to being an alternative set.Originally Posted by SuperOz
Positron mentions the playground of the game. In fact, the playground is a sandbox, and the sandbox is only defined by your imagination. If we didn't have imaginations, there would be no spin-off Star Trek novels. There would be no Expanded Universe for Star Wars. There would be no Justice League cartoon. By all means, look at your characters, look at your stories and ask 'what more can they do? Is there more they can do? Can I bring them to an end?' But never, ever say 'this story deserves to go. That story doesn't mean anything. That story never will.' Because then you invalidate your mortar, and the structure falls apart. At that point, your sandbox has become a jigsaw puzzle where in order to form a picture, you're willing to throw away pieces.
Personally, I think it's important to approach new content with an appreciation of what came before, but not to be necessarily beholden to it. Mostly just agreeing with Positron's view wrt retcons. -

Possibly a bug, or possibly a quirk of how they datamined the names way back when.

Out of curiosity, I'm still at a lose as to when in the first arc you actually decide to attack a Longbow base. I somehow have missed the explanation three times now.

Quote:6 missions a month.Originally Posted by Brillig
Wannabe.
So - what's the schedule for these? Are they really planning to release 3 (or so) missions a month for the next six months? That seems, incredibly... unambitious.
Just because you don't want to play the other 3 doesn't mean they aren't there. -

You could use it to recharge itself. Thus causing the universe to recursively implode.
I believe the limitation is still there, however, it's not directly rendering limitations. It's combat that creates a problem. So, Afterburner suppresses off your powers [same as the Rocketboard], which allows the engine to not fail if you fly fast.Quote:Originally Posted by rsclark
What I really don't get is that I thought fly was made slower due to rendering limitations. So, if those limitations have been surpassed, then why isn't fly just faster without the need for another power choice?
Your sentiment is mostly correct, however, GvE and Steampunk jetpack share cooldownQuote:Originally Posted by Obitus
Hell, if I wanted to, I could fly around with speed-capped Hover, nearly full time, just by alternating the GvE and Steampunk jetpack powers..
I believe that Burnout doesn't improve their recharge, you may try checking out the Beta feedback forums while they are still up though, I swear that's where I read that initially.Quote:Originally Posted by ketch
A curious question: does anyone know how Burn Out affects powers like One with the Shield and Strength of Will? Does it circumvent the fact that these powers are flagged to ignore +recharge? -
Quote:Something to consider. Villain side arcs.Originally Posted by Captiosus
I'm not saying put all their eggs in one basket. Far from it. If they want to make it extend seven episodes, I'm all for it. But each episode, if it's a monthly affair, needs to be something challenging and memorable. This was neither. It was three-and-done, over in 30 minutes and ultimately forgettable, even with lengthy quest text.
They have spent the last three months talking up the Signature Story Arcs, and the first thing we get can barely be called an arc, at all, especially considering there is content starting in The Hollows that have far more epic and memorable arcs (see: Frostfire) than this.
This is more like a blip. Even if they had called it, appropriately, "Signature Story Episodic Content", I still would have expected more than a 3-mission, 30 minute blip. Nothing about these missions, lava notwithstanding (which, admittedly, I was kinda giddy over), made me go "man, I can't wait until the next one".
Pretty much, if they do content additions, if there's different content for each side, it counts the same as if there were the same amount of content co-op.
[edit/add]
To clarify, the devs consider it 6 missions. Even if 3 of them aren't missions you ever want to do. Certainly worthwhile to provide feedback on it still though. -
Quote:My personal take on the mind-bomb was my character was 'playing the role of the hapless hero' and going through the stupid motions to 'foil the plan'.Originally Posted by Nihilii
My character actually acted roughly as she should at this point in her career, with down-to-earth reactions (save for the mind bomb part ; that was a bit too much), and so did the NPCs.
I mean, even after Yu tells you point blank it's nothing *shrug*. -
Quote:Which is a very important thing to remember when you consider a Loyalist doing the Incarnate Trials. During the incarnate trials, the shades of gray have dropped largely. Tyrant needs to be stopped to protect Praetoria.Originally Posted by Zyphoid
I know this is going to be like talking to a wall...but the Loyalist Responsibility arcs are all about being loyal to the people, and not exactly to Cole.
Also, the Resistance that the Primals are working with isn't necessarily the Crusaders. To be honest, given how much nothing the Resistance is doing during the iTrials I would have a hard time believing that the Crusaders were the ones taking part. -

They blew up the hospital. I don't believe it's mentioned in the tutorial, but it is mentioned in one of the Atlas Park early arcs.
