"For 63 months in the City of Heroes you have earned access to the Reveal power that removes "fog of war" from any map!"

You have to "claim" the item under Vet badges. The power's data:

Activation: 1.5s
Recharge: 5m0s
Accuracy: 1.00x (It'd be funny if a map could have a DEF against this)

Off to the Storm Palace to give this a whirl.

Is there a difference in the villain badge text?

Says the same for the text. Same title, same badge info, same power desc. Realistically, this reflects your "global" account, so since CoH and CoV were merged under the CoH name, this makes "sense". Not thematically, but we're never happy in that regard.

Has the badge text of any Vet award/power ever been different between heroes and villains?
I just think it'd be a little weird if they actually were different that way.
Let's just say I'd never ask that kind of question about them at any rate. *shrugs*

P.S. Congrats Turgenev. I guess you only got this one a week too early this time.

Let me just say, I really dig the graphic for the "Reveal" power. Aaaah, I can see the Shard... I actually opened up FBZ and Cascades a few years ago with Hover (HOVER!) while I was at work. Point Doc T in a compass direction, do work for 10 mins, then come back and repoint...

As one of the people who had the "fog of war" bug back before they fixed it a few years ago, this is a very nice little godsend. Kudos to the Devs for a nice, non-game changing, thoughtful power.

Lothic: I was expecting your post. Would you like to touch my badge? (buys you a drink)

<QR> So out of curiosity.. does it work on your mission map?

Yeah this power is going to be a bit of a silly irony for me since my main alts already cleared the fog of war from every zone in the game years ago. I dealt with the Chantry zone bug as well and was happy when they finally fixed it about a year or so ago.

As far as you "expecting" my post I will once again state that I have no problem with you specifically having this award right now and/or before me. I'm not "blaming" you for it or accusing you of doing anything sneaky. I'm just once again highlighting the sad fact that no one is SUPPOSED have this award until July 28th because according to the rules the Devs established for this Vet system that is technically the 63th month anniversary of this game. The game is broken in this regard and for whatever reason the Devs either cannot or will not fix it.

The fact that you keep setting it up so that I can keep mentioning this problem award after award is just a happy coincidence I guess. Consider it the price you pay for wanting to brag about it here in the forums before anyone else.

Actually, I thought I wrote it constructively and neutrally, with a small "yay Shard map be gone" at the end.

But yeah, in reality, I was taunting you.

MB: Works on mish maps. The graphic for it doesn't kick off as well though. You get the device animation, but not the awesome "holodeck" grid superimposition like you do in a zone.

Does anyone's account that has NOT gotten this awarded list an award date for this badge? In other words, does your account say "Badge will be awarded on August 1st" for instance?

Well to be fair you would have this badge before me even if you had to wait until July 28th like we're ALL supposed to. Due to unrelated account delays over the years my award date has slipped back to being about 2 weeks after the exact anniversary dates so I'm not going to get this award until August 12th regardless. That's still earlier than maybe 99% of the rest of the playerbase so that's not too shabby.

At least this time around I don't really 'need' this power because like I mentioned I'd already satisfied this particular OCD years ago. I suppose it will be useful once the Going Rogue expansion finally happens...

Mine doesn't. The Devs seem to have a hard time keeping that information up-to-date and that probably contributes to why some people get these things earlier and/or later than they should.

Strangely enough the emote animation for this power's activation is just about the only part I'm looking forward to.

It's really quite nice. Again, doesn't key off for interiors... including the sewers. Will test the Hollows caverns... any other "underground" zone out there I can check besides the two Sewers and the Hollows Caverns?

(In other news... when did they put a contact down in the Sewers? Damn, they're helpful to newbs these days...)

You're from Virtue. Don't you roll a new toon every week? Even on my oldbies, I only did the map opening on my main, so this is delightfully handy for my other toons.

Vitrue is associated more with "RP" than "altitis" isn't it?
Those two things really aren't exactly the same thing.

I'm sure there are in fact people who roll up new toons on Virtue every week but I'm not one of those.
Even on my newer alts I don't care about the kinds of OCD I care about on my mains anyway...

They put a "Zone Instructor" in all the hazard zones in i12 iirc. That way you know what to expect and can't [censored] and moan when you get punked in zones where spawns are designed for 6 man lvl 25 (fake example) Not that it detracts players from doing so of course
