lemming

Praetorians can do most of the instanced trials. (Cathedral of Pain, iTrials, SBB) Makes Echo Plaza handy. One thing I noted that they can not do is an Orou mission with a Primal. They can't be on a team with a Primal in a base. (Which can cause issues elsewhere) However, they have zero issue teaming with Primals as long as no one pops into their base.

Or they removed Mercy's to match blueside removal since they were also putting in the redside gathering spot.

American, but I like my dates as YYYYMMDD

I have a spreadsheet specifically for DayJob acquisition. I'm glad they dropped the time from 7 days to 100 hours. And out of 110 chars, ten fairly recent characters are still working toward it. 3200 hours or 134 days to get all of them (not counting patrol) Usually it takes me a bit longer since perfect matching up would be a little too CDO and of course, you're not gaining dayjobs while actually playing. (Though just noted one char has only been in existance for 137 days and will complete tomorrow) After they're done, I do what Uun does, collect up the more useful temp powers. The spreadsheet is more than just dayjobs, but I think that's where it all started back on live.

Yea, I've been stuck on a 2012 laptop since May so I didn't get any real testing done and feel I still haven't really felt out all the changes. I don't think I'm the only one that felt this page had a lot more to test than usual. At least I should be coming out of the dark ages in computer hardware soon.

The feedback thread did cover why this wasn't an option (tech reasons, not because it's a bad reason) Blame original DB design decisions from live.

Just means they haven't been noticed or reported. And GMs aren't one monolithic entity. Players shouldn't be pushing it though.

Unless it's a badge run with no defeats needed, it shouldn't be a big deal. Having to run back from the hospital/base is it's own annoyance without having it disallowed.

Have you made sure you can connect to a server not via the hotspot? If so, it's something to do with how your hotspot is configured. I have used my phone as a hotspot (quite some time ago) and it worked, though rather badly.

Good points on the story arcs. (No idea on the Siren's Call thing since it's totally outside my experience. Drop the cool down to 18 hours in line with most other content. Other rewards to choose perhaps: 1 Prismatic 1 Recipe Roll (as from the AE ticket roll. Uncommon & Rare, maybe 75% Unc, 25% Rare)

Those boxes are sometimes very tricky to exit with. I had some issues getting out of the Escape Reichsman portion of the Kahn TF and one other member got smooshed by him due to not getting to zone out. Haven't noted it an issue with specific missions, just occasionally it crops up.

That's a very long post to have this embedded. 😉 The diminishing returns bit is a bit of an annoyance, since one can just cycle thru characters. However, I don't worry too much about it since most of my chars do need something they would get from it. The last thing I'm trying to do is be too efficient, that's a way to make CoX less of a game and more a chore. On Prismatic Aether prices. I'm fine with them dropping in price, though I don't have any skin in the game. I'm collecting them on my own, not selling or buying. If they drop to a million, I might buy a few to get the badge on my badger. Otherwise, I'll just collect them organically, though I do need to get some ITF & Aeon's in.

Maybe they're controlled via Remote?

If you only ran the TPN, you'd get 3. Because of the LAM, you got one from that, so only two more from the TPN. (Basically capped at 3 for 18 hours from iTrails) And ITF & Aeon are on a different schedule? WST as well. I'm not much of a fan either, but I'm addressing it by not pursuing them.

Noted I hadn't done Invulnerability outside of my tank, so wrote up Candygram, a Titan Weapon/Inv Brute with a carnie mallet. So far, so good, but only up to level 13.

Suffer! I just started a Titan Weapon/Inv Brute yesterday. So much pain...

Depends on the concept, probably the longest part is working on the costume since I tend to have the starting powers and name picked out ahead of time. Once I'm past that stage. However long it takes to go thru the tutorial and rearrange my trays. 10 minutes at most.

XP boosts turn off once you hit 50. (just a quick minor correction)

For Loyalists that were more for the Responsibility Arc (ala Marchand) or Resistance Wardens (ala Belladonna), easy. For the more Chaos and Power hungry sort, Cole is in their way. (Mr G & Praetor Duncun) For someone that's still loyal to Cole (ala Manticore), it would be tricky.

I have done a few of those. With a few non-praetorians as well. I think I was trying to trigger an alignment change with my praetorian to get the Pilot badge, but doesn't look my Resistance member will be able to get that. My lower level one got it. Commuter, and Shopkeeper, since they were still going back and forth.

I did find one annoying aspect to Ouro, Primals & Praetorians can't seem to team while in a base which makes starting a mission arc via the crystal a no-go

I was Lemming on live. Been lemming online as a handle since '82, though it's often used by others.

I've noted this during some of the other arcs produced at this time. Dr Graves, Twinshot, Praeter Marchand will sometimes have multiple of the same character

Pretty sure this happens elsewhere, but noted it with Sister Vals last mission. If you have bosses turned off, EBs spawn as Bosses as expected, but the ones in SIster Vals arc after defeat spawn Elite Boss Hostless Nictus.

You dont have the latest map pack downloaded by the screenshot you showed
