i17 Questions and a base item.


BeyondReach

 

Posted

Does anyone know about any of the badges that come out with i17? I am a huge badge hunter on my villain and I personally can't wait for the new badges. Also, when they put Silver Mantis in Sharkhead, what is going to happen with the mission computer item in the base? You will no longer need it since the Cathedral of Pain still doesn't work. and since Silver Mantis is going to Sharkhead. If any threads are around that answer my question, feel free to post them.

I17 is still in Closed Beta, so anyone who knows about the badges is not allowed to talk about them. As soon as it goes Open Beta and the NDA is lifted, there will probably be full lists posted of the new badges on this forum and badge-hunter.

I swear that I saw a post saying that the Mission Computer was staying around, but damned if I remember where it was. Regardless, I plan on putting one in my base just because it looks cool.

Dozens I'm sure. As others have said, anyone who is in Beta isn't allowed to tell you or give info on it yet. The only thing I'll add is, this:

You're going to have to ask yourself a question. How much do I want to discover for myself? By which I mean, most if not all of the new badges will be found and listed by the time it hits Open Beta if not sooner. So the question becomes, do you want to hunt them yourself and only resort to the guide when you get stumped, or do you want to be led on a nice and easy tour?

Just something to think about. I know I'm going to keep myself in the dark on the specifics until I'd gotten at least a few of the badges myself.

Maybe they could make the Mission Computer a Tech version of the magic Pillar of Fire and Ice.

I hope they add some to some of the Easter Egg areas... where Easter Eggs can be found.

I have a spot in my base too - I was planning on doing a friendly raid to get the badge

Basically, because the only thing accesible from the Mission Computer other than that was the Cathedral of Pain, he is implying that they are going to fix the Cathedral of Pain (which I think was already announced for i19).



Bad Voodoo by @Beyond Reach. Arc ID #373659. Level 20-24. Mr. Bocor has fallen victim to a group of hooded vigilantes who have been plaguing Port Oakes, interfering with illegal operations and pacifying villain's powers. He demands that revenge is taken on these miscreants and his powers are returned! You look like just the villain for the job. Challenging.

It would be nice if they were more functional in general... as in, more SG related TF's than just the one.

During the Pax Q&A (which can be found here) Posi mentioned something about re-purposing the Items of Power and Cathedral of Pain into something not as broken. No time table was given.

Access to Praetoria via the Super Computer? That kinda looks like the screen Statesman and Desdemona are using in the GR trailer

EDIT: Or may linked to the zone events used for the Incarnate system?

Sigh. I have to leave it in my Hero and Villain bases.

The Feng Shui is already in balance.

Any chance we can get some Rikti Practice Dummies to kick around in a Dojo Room?


Thank you, City of Heroes, for giving me a superhero social network combined with amazingly smooth game play. Petitions signed with realistic expectations.

Oh MAN, you have no idea how much I want those...

They don't even have to be the rikti shaped ones. Just give us a STONE with the dummy code so we can punch it... Something...anything.

It wasn't announced for i19, but they did say it was definitely in the works for an upcoming issue.

Personally, I'm hoping the Mission Computer might actually get some love in Going Rogue, with new SG content!

You know, the more people go on and on and on about the Cathedral of Pain trial, all I can say is, if and when that sucker does come back, it had better be "all that and a bag of chips," because otherwise the devs are going to get crucified by the playerbase.

I not so sure - I think most people will just be happy to have it in a working state

Funny, I'd peg that as an inference rather than implication. I'd say the implication is that the mission computer will still have a use as a way to access missions all its own.

Could that be the cathedral? Sure. Could they have thrown that thing aside, and have new stuff planned instead? Sure. But this is getting far afield enough that we will have to see. 'Tis guesswork at this point.
