Hello, specifically the explore badges discovered and zone area entered messages. At the moment both these messages and a few others pop up in the middle top of my screen. I find them intrusive during normal play and hidden behind map when I am using vidiotmap overlay to navigate to them. Is there any way to stop the messages appearing at all or else move them to a more suitable location for me please? Not a game breaker but if I can I shall. Thanks

Hi, I know that the Have Cake guys have just brought this Lock Tray QOL into their server last week. I was going to go check it out and see if I could answer the above queries but cause I am stupid I have lost my login details for their server. Maybe if any body else has used them they could go check? Cheers

I don’t recognise this problem at all. I am really very old with very old twitch skills, and if I make a new alt ( two more just last night) I proceed at lvl one to the P2W vendor and get the freebies including the jump pack. I then do a three badge jump in one go. Straight up for the Top Dog and then straight across to the flag for that one and then straight across to the doors of AE building. All in one long hop. The jump pack will get you to the AE ledge np. Pop inside and get that badge (not needed for explore accolade but just because it is there.) By the time you get the badge and then pop outside the jump pack is ready to go to the explore badge up by the water tank.. Drop down from that and all the others (four left) are just a run and jump job. The whole eight explore badges in Atlas take about 5 minutes in total. If I feel like it I may down a few foes on the way and at the end hit up Ms Liberty to level to 2 as a bonus. Cheers

Hi guys, many thanks for all responses and great included info. Lol I actually printed out that hunting guide about a year ago, but the only hunt I failed was finding out where I did that from when I looked earlier this week to update it. Duh 👍 I ran through the whole Crimson arc as suggested by Placta and at -1/+3 amassed 136 Sappers by the end. My extra ones came from having to log out a couple of times (weekly server maint and real life) and so redid a a few of the arc missions. And purely cause my brain is old (Apparently I am the second oldest player ingame that also reads the forums as determined in another thread in General 🧓🏻🧓🏻🤣) I had forgotten to use the target macro but I will certainly now set it up for the remaining 64 Sappers needed. So thanks again guys, keep safe and enjoy the winter event 🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻

Hello, so got all the new badges except as above. Am looking for some good missions/arcs/TF that I can solo for them sappers please. Red or Blue no problem. Just as an aside, two runs of Yin got the 50 Super Stunners, quick and easy. Needed 3 runs of new mission for the mini protectors, just reset it so not to bad. Farmed Pandora’s Box part 5 for Warhulks and Jaegers. The Chantry for the Rularu Fire base Zulu for the Natterlings Cheers

Hi, agree, looks like Santa arrived early 🎅🏻 Don’t mess with it, just enjoy turning CoH settings at max from ingame. Have fun 😃

Hi, you know the ones, as seen in your contacts box that changes colour to blue as you work through the missions. They really wind me up because they are always wrong. They will show you at 100% complete when the task is not complete and the contact is still giving you missions. How many times have you seen the plaintive ask in team chat “last one?” or “how many left to do?”. Now even the two brand new missions we got in last patch are doing it wrong as well. I was at a fully coloured bar three missions before end of arc! And being new content with not a clue how much (time wise) was left to do. Every TF and mish arc ingame has a fixed number of parts and I would love to see the display show eg 0/7 (whatever) instead of some inaccurate colour filled bar. Old type download screens were the same, just a crawl along a line with no proper data, thank goodness we now get both the old progres colour and either a percentage downloaded or estimated time left (albeit that can be just as whacky) So can we get a parts completed counter either in place of or as an addition to the colour crawl bar? Thanks

Apologies if this is in the wrong place, just cannot keep track of what goes where. Just collected the new Natterings badge in Zulu and noticed that in the last page notices the badge is called “Winged Nuasances” but the badge as awarded is named “Flying Nuasances”. Not good at spelling either, sorry

Hi, thanks for the info, daft thing is I have actually 100%ed both blue and red flashback systems so everything is gold but it just never occured to me to link the souvenirs to the flashback system as a collected check. Really good info for the future and does help. 👍👏👏 Thanks again.

Souvenirs are a nightmare, Literally 100’s of souvenirs on my lvl 50 and trying to check if you have a specific one (FreakyOlympics as needed in new badge) is a complete bust given the totally randon way they are displayed. Would love a sort system for them, then I might actually get round to reading them! There is no incentive and no way of doing that in any rational way atm.

Hi, as title, is there a sorting system already as an addon and if not would it be possible to get one? Why now, well with the new redside arc badge, there are 17 items to fill before it awards. Some (one?) are souvenirs. I just went to check my main badge alt and I have literally 100’s of them. All in a complete random order and a nightmare to find a specific one. A simple drop down menu or popup menu that offers a selection of sort criteria would be fantastic. Thinks: alphabetically by red or blue by level a n other. Thoughts please, many thanks

Hi guys, thanks for confirmatiom about previously done content counting as I could not challenge the guy who was saying in General chat that it did not! Hope I see them again ingame. I have all the non badge bits so I will go ahead and run it on my main badger laters. I did run it solo on a lowbie scrapper last night into the last mish so am preprepared for the task. Appreciate the help and support 👍😀 Thanks

Hi, as I saw this stated in chat just now, do we have to redo all those arcs/TF’s again to make them count or does previous stuff count. I have every badge except a couple of incarnate masters of and have 100% completed the content from Oroborus flame both red and blue sides. All soloed. Should I be good to go for the badge? Thanks

Oh yes, made I larf, a lot.. 😂😂😂👍👍

Except that as approx 95% of my time ingame is me playing solo, I feel justified in explaining why certain changes affect my game experience before I prioritise the globals. My personal knowledge of how those changes affect me are just as valid as the globals. Thank you.

So, will these changes alter my game experience - yes will these changes improve my game experience - no Why, stupid unecessary cooldowns!

Hi, a lot of guys to arrest, do we get a check list of done ones from Null like the AV’s one? Thanks

Hi, just two other bits, I used Oreborus flame (the one in my SG base) a lot starting at first level and then on upwards. Soloed every piece of content on both blue and red side. You get a lot of badges doing that and a shedload of merits. It was really nice to see content I had previously outlevelled and never ran on Live and on HC. I also unlocked the two contacts for Safeguard and Mayhem missions as early as I could, and so that saved doing a huge number of radio/paper missions just to get the bank jobs. Cheers

I think it is good to remember that there are a number of badges that cannot be gained by soloing. Also that the Incarnate sytem is very handy to plug gaps. (Heals on a blaster for the Empathy series for example) In addition and to make life easier you need some general powers not AT specific, Stealth and a Fly power jump to mind, Vidiotmaps as well. Many badges are also easy to get on any AT, explore badges and the AE ones. So take all the above away and you are getting to the large bunch of badges that arrive from defeating stuff. All my badging mains have been damage based and most are ranged. AOE’s are your friend and so I usually end up with a blaster of sorts and Fire/EM seems to work for me. I do not have any alts with all the badges but a few are just a couple short of that and all the missing ones are from the Incarnate Masters of series. No best build or AT choice sorry, just a few things for your consideration before you start. I am not sure if there are any AT’s that just cannot get all the badges, just some that might need a bit more team running. Last but not least, whatever your choice, enjoy your badging 👍😀

Tips hat, respect 👏👏😎👍

tymv 👍👏😀

Hi, missed a few days so please excuse if this is being sorted or discussed already. LRTP power goes into cooldown if I open it and then cancel out without using it. I wanted to check on my unlocked progress and what targets I had available to use, was then going to finish a tell and then use it. But just clicking on the power icon and then cancelling out puts it into the 10 minute cooldown. So just wasted a tp option. Is this being changed so cooldown happens when I use the power not just open it? Thanks

So, now for something new to consider......ask random players ingame what those blue swirly columns we see in most zones are for and I think the answer would be ...they are used to get to your/guest SG. So far all well and good. But, there are four of those blue swirly columns ingame that do not do that. Those are the ones that are inside RV (2 red and 2 blue) that only take you into and out of the killing field. I tried using my new tp powers on beta on them but no go. Then there is a unique swirly column that is green in colour inside the RWZ and that also funtions only to move you in or out of the HQ. Nobody is ever going to confuse that with a normal SG portal. So how about using that green swirly graphic also for the RV portals so it all makes sense? 🙂

when you could get three times as many AE badges as you can now! Yep, still sore they stole mine away....

Hi, my usual routine on any alt is to play game and by doing so earn xp for levels. Then go and train and then go and craft the required IO’s at the University. So play-train-craft. For a long time the base beacon Croatoa portal has dropped you within spitting distance of the zone trainer. (War Witch?). Just approx 10 feet away. Then after training it is just a hop to the Uni and a check on the way to see if Sally is about till you get her badge. I think this is the most efficient way to level up and get back into game in the game. Now you have moved the drop point in Croatoa to the Uni which doubles the travel out and back to the zone trainer and as an aside, also doubles the travel to the start of the Katie Hannon TF which is also up north by the current drop in point. Given that the train station is just a straight street run line of sight to the Uni why have you now put the three travel entry/exit points so close together in the south of the zone? Me no understandy!
