Hero Merit question


Arnabas

 

Posted

I played through my 10 tips and got a morality mission with my main character. It was my understanding that she would receive a hero merit for maintaining her hero status, but she didn't get one.

Is this a bug? Did I misunderstand? Or does one have to do an initial morality mission in order to set one's status officially, with subsequent morality missions then providing the hero merits?

You will not have done so the first time you "reaffirm" allegiance. You will have gained some standard Reward Merits (50, I think). Subsequent reaffirmations grant Hero or Villain Merits. It's in the patch notes.


The wisdom of Shadowe: Ghostraptor: The Shadowe is wise ...; FFM: Shadowe is no longer wise. ; Techbot_Alpha: Also, what Shadowe said. It seems he is still somewhat wise ; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.*

Hmm. I just skimmed the patch notes again before posting... Guess my tired eyes skipped over that.

Thanks for the response.

So you have to run 2 morality missions to get your first alignment merit? That seems dumb... beyond dumb.

I don't know if I'd say "beyond dumb", but I agree that reaffirming the first time seems like a good time to give the first Hero Merit.

50 regular merits is nothing to sneeze at though. Then there's the temp power...

...

What's that mean, anyway? "nothing to sneeze at"... what IS something to sneeze at?

or you can trade in the 50 regular merits awarded for the first one for an alignment merit. it will cost you some cash on top of the 50 merits but you do have that option.

Quick question, what is the temp power for reaffirming heroic status? Is is the same for villains? Do Rogues and Vigs get temps for reaffirming their alignment?

Thanks in advance

50 Merits is a nice reward for basically running newspaper missions so I'm not complaining too much. It just struck me as ... well... dumb. Why have two different rewards for the same thing?

I had some plans on my mastermind to get 2 alignment merits to buy a particular recipe. 22 missions seemed like a steep but acceptable cost... now it's 22 plus some cash. *shrugs* Ok. I think he has a metric ton of vanguard merits too so I'll look into that as well.

All four alignments have their own unique power for reaffirming their status.
The details of those powers appear in the various GR player guides you can find here in the forums.
