That doesn't make a difference to the zoned out areas of Atlas. Everyone on the team could have the same progress, but if say one is sitting in City Hall and the other is in one of the phasing areas, neither can port the others for instance. Mercy has the same thing.

Exactly this. I like Remote Bomb over Time. Honestly, it was what I was looking forward the most this issue.

Not sure, I did install MS Net 4.8 via winetricks

That one takes a bit of practice and I still mess up. Easier with a team where someone able to solo the boss goes to get the hostage to lead them out while everyone else goes to the usual down bodies. Using a targetting macro helps.

You can get them to level 53, I did it for the heck of it on beta. Just not much call for it. Though at 100k and up, that would be profitable I guess. Slot a few training enh in spaces that you don't use and auto jump them to 50 when you get there. Pull them out if you respec or use an unslotter. Geez, typing this out was more trouble than it's worth...

Does the character have to have Macdonald in their name?

Load up BadgeSetList and take a look alphabetically assuming you can do the same with Badger?

Yea, this is one of those long standing bugs that happens often in this mission, but it's not the only one.

Yea, the having to unslot and prep a large number of TOs would be counter productive to trying to be cheap. I think Grouchybeast's idea about Level 10 IOs is the best. You can buy them on the AH for cheaper than a TO and they're slightly better than a same level TO. (~12% vs ~8%)

Gives some players that aren't as built up a chance to recover, etc... I've never found it very long really. Also, you don't have to defeat every single tentacle. The head is immune to damage while there are more than two tentacles left, but if you're down to two, Lusca is vulnerable. But what about my four reward merits? Make sure all teams on the league do a bit of damage to each tentacle before taking out the head and you will get rewards for both tentacles and the head. They count as defeated when the head is.

I could have used this bug! That would make the timing much easier to slap the Rikti Drop Ship for the kill shot

I don't get the last behaviour unless I logout completely. If I just switch characters, the sort order stays the same as GM Tock describes. I wouldn't mind a default option, but it's not a huge deal after 20 years...

My wife will often mention that my train of thought jumps tracks like a ping pong ball...

Those were former vet rewards that became available when all that was put into the START vendor. The PvP summons were in game for everyone else.

Ah. Reread the Isolater Badge info. It does mention that it's a Hero arc. Just happens there is a mirror version for Villains. Yes, if you are red aligned and are in the Ouro mission via being teamed with someone else you can get progress, but not the badge until you switch to a blue alignment. However, I'm not sure if you can do that. The wiki is mainly pointing out if you are Red aligned and defeat 100 via the one that pops up in the RV Train station, you'd still need to switch to a blue alignment for the badge. Fair warning, that's a very tedious way to get the badge, switching to blue and doing the Ouro intro, much faster.

I got the reason Hero was fine with making a deal with the IP, but I was fairly disappointed. I can't remember if I bothered with the lifetime sub or not. I might have decided not after looking at it during the 2009 gencon.

First one, yea, that's a standard mission blinky hunt. An old one at that. Some of the newer Praetorian missions will show all of them, but that's rare. And as Rudra points out, that's the tutorial showing you how to use the ferry. Twinshot has you do a similar one using the train to Kings Row. (which is what the "imitation" zone is more or less based on. HC didn't make either of those btw. If they're listed in Ouro with a arc id greater than 24.X, then it's HC. They do some stuff to older arcs, but there are a lot of them.

I have definitely had more purple recipe drops than monster pet recipes.

That's because it was New York before they lost the marvel license.

Just checked on Beta and that's the cost on all of them. Should be noted the Hami Bud is the only Purple of the list. Also, they don't seem to be part of the random drop from the BL Vendor. (At least in 160 tries)

They have always stuck around for a bit, though they will disappear after a little time. They do count toward the badge though.

Ping me at @Lemming and I'll try to help. I ran it again with a pair of characters and did have a few restarts, but worked

1) That was the original behaviour, but it's a security flaw. So out it went. 2) second bio's answer. (Or put Perfect Zinger in your taunt field and the tiny mobs faint in horror) 3) second rudra's

iirc, Fir Bolg is available during halloween like the Snowbeast during Winter. Not sure about Tuatha (though if not, it gets my vote)

As someone who tried to get to testing more, but has a background in QA, there's a need for some more standardized testing. It's a lot of adhoc with targetted testing. If on the discord, there are calls for scheduled team content which helps a lot, but depends on scheduling. And this release was huge with a lot of different moving parts which couldn't really be helped since there were outside contingencies which are a part of the whole volunteer roles of everyone. I think a document listing the changes and what parts should be checked is a good start, but often "Just play some content on brainstorm" is needed to catch the unintended consequences where you poke at something in one place, and it breaks something elsewhere. Pretty sure that's how Serpent Drummer's mission snuck thru, since I doubt anyone ran thru that on Alpha or Beta testing because as far as anyone knew, nothing directly changed.
