So, basically he ended the mission and you got kicked out of the instance, and you had tried to use LRTP, consuming the use but not actually teleporting to IP, is that right? Usually, if you use LRTP and dont manage to click anything (or accidentally dismiss it), you should get a "second chance" power. If this didn't happen, you should post a bug report!

What shard was this?

I'm really not in the MOOd for these cow pu- ...oh goddammit.

Just a reminder, in case others find this thread down the line: one of the badges, Unabashed, is inaccessible until the shield over the mothership comes down. However, this badge is ALSO available in the instanced version of the mothership raid, so as long as you join either type of MSR, you should be able to snag it!

You might have to increase the in-options slider to 200% before vis_scale 4 (or higher) will take effect? Can you take a screenshot of what you can see?

I've had that happen with things like my cape. Though if Dominatrix wants to wear my cape, I'm not gonna stop her. She looks great with it! ...plus she scares me.

Welcome home! The thing you may want to do first is check out the "P2W" vendor. There's one in each starting zone, as well as the Galacy City tutorial. They give out a few freebies that on Live that were purchasable with Paragon Points, like Sands of Mu, Nemesis Staff, Prestige Sprints, Ninja Run, etc. They'll make the starting levels a bit more bearable! I would advise AGAINST using XP boosters for your first toon. A good amount of content exists in the early levels, and re-learning how to play cantl't be overstated! And more pragmatically, using XP Boosters reduces your influence gain, and you dont wanna be level.20 but broke!

That badge was auto granted, so you already have it 😃

Get a pocket Kin (or hope one is at the ski chalet) and have them use Inertial Reduction on you. Jump speed and control are actually the most important things to have when doing the slopes. Use the mouse to steer, and know when you need to jump or turn before you have to. Having to constantly course correct on the fly is what messes up most runs!

So, Luna's in the Winter Wonderland, too, but i can't sell her my Threads =( Intentional, or oversight?

For the HC Winter Event, RNGesus gave to me: 12 Winter-Os 11 Inspirations 10 Tailor Tokens 9 Canes o' Candy 8 stacks o' Brain Storms 7 Enh Converters 6 hundred Merits FIIIIIIVE, Stat-boost, THIIIIIIIINGS! 4 re-specs 3 Snowy Beasts 2 Windfall powers And a Partridge in a pear tree!

@tidge Challenge accepted! So having the CC proc in Confuse is fine. HOWEVER, the whole SET is wasted in that power. The set gives a LOT of recharge, which a) would suite MassComedy much better, and b) completely floors the chance of the proc going off in a single target, quick recharging power like Confuse. If you really want the CC proc to be viable in Confuse, you'll have to make sure the power isn't enhanced for Recharge, which probably means avoiding putting any set in there at all.

I just wanted to say congratulations!

Sorry I'm late!

BOOM. Done. AGAIN!

In the Storm Palace zone, Brutes spawn in groups of 6-10, usually with 2-4 bosses. There's some variation (I had a group that was like 24 dudes, no bosses. One cast of Ion Judgement wiped them out!). Remember that Bosses count at 5 points, so really you can treat this as a "defeat 100 bosses" badge, but it'll be quicker if you're also taking down the nearby minions and LTs. Just look out for Storm Elementals while traversing this zone! Natterlings are a little harder. Their spawn sizes are smaller, and tend to spawn alongside Watchers. This was in Firebas Zulu, I dont know if they spawn in greater numbers elsewhere. Took me a while. For the 2 new Nemesis badges, the old "fake nem" farm is still good for these guys (Christopher Maxwell: Nemesis Rex), but the last two missions of SSA2-5 (Heldenjeager I think?) work a bit better! You can also try your luck patrolling Eden and Crey's Folly, but I dont believe you're gonna save any time that way.

"Disclaimers added to Pathogen and Cortex missions to bring friends" Shouldn't this be under "Graveyard Shift"?

Personally, I found the fights easy, BUT, that's only because I was playing an IO'd out level 50 Mind/Kin. I didn't have to fight Cortex's illusions, I made them fight themselves! Or I held them. Or put them to sleep. I had plenty of AoE control tools to stop them dead in their tracks. I've yet to try the arc on any other character(s), though, so, take my feedback with a grain of salt!

In Crimson's "World Wide Red" arc, the mission "Check out Chinese/Malta Connection" (5.1.9), the clue you get from defeating the Boss mob says this: The Missing Connection After you defeated them, one of the Malta Group soldiers broke down and taunted you: 'We don't know about any China connection. Director 17 just told us to move operation to hear and wait to take you out when you showed up. We know every move you're making, {character}! You might as well give in to our control and join the winning side' Emphasis mine on the typo 😃

Uhm, don't we have to gather somewhere first BEFORE we enter the raid-zone?

Take a break, y'all earned it! You've pushed a lot of content in the last patch, some of it... controversial. Taking a step back and relaxing would be the best thing you can do!

Feedback: The icon to download an update looks like a "refresh/reload" icon more than a "download" icon. Most contemporary download icons are a down-arrow floating above a line or inside a (partial) box. I suggest this be amended, but it's not a game-stopper 😃

I'm a little confused and curious. So, you exit your base, go somewhere (?), then you need to go back to your base (or another base) right away? You can't backtrack to the base portal? Where are you going and why? It doesn't sound like you're doing missions. If you were doing papers/radios, there's no need to return to base or change zones. If you're AE farming, it's doubtful you're clearing the farms that fast, and even if so, just use the AE in Pocket D, there's a base portal like 100 feet away.

Like different bases, or popping out of your base and popping right back in? What are you doing in those 30-90 seconds where you need to get back into your base right away? If it's different bases, /ebfp will still work while you're already in a base. Just click your macro and boom.

"My" premise seems to be in-line with HC's thinking on this. So it's not me you're disagreeing with, it's them. They've made their decision that the new teleport options should come with a cost and/or drawback. If you don't like those costs or drawbacks, you should think about which ones would be acceptable and suggest those. I do not see "LRTP" being free and with 100% uptime right from level 1 with no effort. Those "Free" XP boosters come with an inf cost: A % of the inf you WOULD have made during your leveling process. The prestige powers used to be behind a paywall (something we can't and shouldn't repeat), and the respecs, yeah, those are just icing. Ouro at level 1 was one of the many compromises the team has made in getting rid of /ebfp. They didn't want to leave the playerbase high and dry. You seem to be coming from a place that since some things have been made easier, that EVERYTHING should be at maximum easiness. I disagree with that viewpoint, and it's clear that the devs here do, too.
