Change Infected Anti-Serum

Is it possible to change the Infected Anti-Serum Temporary Power so that it runs on an in-game timer rather than a real-world timer. That way I don't miss out on using this fun temporary power simply because other (supposedly better) MMO's exist?

Sir. I believe you are delirious. I suggest you lie down.

My memory might fail me here, but I think he's talking about a temp power from the madbrain doctor somewhere in Mercy Island.

The one that works for only 15 minutes, and only on Infected minions?

Yes, the one that's intended to just be used for the mission the good Doctor gives you when he grants you the power.

Would it really kill you to not play a non-CoH game for 15 minutes? (Less, really, I usually end up with 8 minutes left on the timer by the time I finish the mission. Personally, I like spending those 8 minutes circling the mission door using the power as much as possible. SPLODE.) If you happen to want to take a break right at the moment you're doing the arc, just don't take the mission until you return to the game.

We need more Temp Powers that make thier victim explode.

By the way, if you use up or delete the temp power, then abandon the mission and retake it... power is replenished!

I know what power he's talking about, I just don't see the logic behind this. It's a useless power on a short timer that he's apparently having problems keeping because he's playing "other games." That just doesn't sell it to me.

Emphasis mine. I strenuously disagree with your statement that Infected Anti-Serum is "useless" (what?!?) and threaten legal action if you persist in these clearly nonsensical statements.

No. I was getting mapserved and was frustrated AND ON THAT MISSION when I posted this. I will try Quinch's suggestion. I apologize for my nerdrage towards getting mapserved.

"Useless," in that it has no real practical use. It only work on Infected, it voids any rewards and it times out very quickly. Yes, I suppose a power which makes people explode is cool (if you're Kimblee), but I'd hardly call that "useful."

I wouldn't call it "nerdrage," I just didn't understand what you were saying. Starting with the fact that you were getting disconnected and so prevented from using the power would have helped. As you phrased it, it sounded like "I'm playing other games, so make the power not time out!" which is "I need scissors! 61!" levels bwha?

When I flashback to that storyarc, I never receive that temp power.

WAI or is that a bug?

You'll hear from my lawyer, sir!

Not all temp powers are re-granted via Ouroboros, this could be one of the ones that isn't. The wiki claims that the flashback for this arcs grants a "limited" version of the power, but I just tested it and got the same result as you.

Thanks for the info.
