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.. 😂😂😂👍👍

Folks are entitled to their opinion on changes. The trap to avoid is feeling that the way we ourselves view changes, is the way everyone views them. That, because it negatively impacts one's own play style, that it must similarly impact everyone's. That is almost never true. So, before proclaiming something "bad" in whatever degree, or description you choose; let us check our egos at the door, and look at things from a more global perspective, before pronouncing judgement.
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 👍😀

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....

Cap au Diable and Croatoa both put you at Universities.
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!

Hi guys, you could (can) do this in The Secret World/Secret World Legends.

Hi,
new alt on live and going through all the new alt set up stuff as normal.
So in Menu, options,windows there is a Beta section with 3 options, countdown markers, chat timestamp and chat timestamp colour.
I just wondered, as I have been using all of them on a regular basis with no problems, if in fact they are still in Beta or do they need to be signed off prior to our next Beta/live switch?
Cheers

Hi,
many thanks for above responses, appreciated.
I will not pretend I understand all of the info, but your so speedy responses have bought me time to reread and decipher in slow time so will have it nailed by live launch 👍👏😀
Oh and apologies about the ambiguous title, it was a rhetorical ask about what I need to do when it goes live not When does it go live.
Thanks again 😷

Hi all, atm I have Tequila standing inside my CoH folder size 5.6 Gigs. That includes my screenshot folder.
I also have new launcher on a different drive folder size 5.4 Gigs. No screenshot or data folders.
Both work fabulously.
Love the new launcher. Installed and works like a dream. Tick VG 🙂
I understand that the new launcher does not copy absolutely everything over from the old one.
So am wondering what will happen when we go live as I want one of those 5 gigs back. But I do not want to lose screenies et cetera when when the new goes live.
Will I still not be able to have new launcher inside CoH folder and how much tech work wil I have to do to get the missing stuff not copied into the new launcher.
Will the new launcher at going live be a one stop job to install with like overwriting the old or will I have to start doing tech stuff as well to delete the old one?
So easy to screw this sort of stuff up if not tech savvie.
Thanks

Hello, hero blaster using passcode DREAMTEAM-105 as a guest SG.
There are a full set of beacons and if I use the Villian porter I can see all redside zones and use them.
On live you can only see your alignment and also the coop zones.
If I use the porter to any red zone it works as normal and I zone into say Nerva but the screen is frozen and I see briefly a message Mapserved Disconnected and then get loaded into Atlas.
I arrive at various locations but always just next to a zone exit ie Steel tunnel or Skyway or Hollows doors.
Have not tested other SG’s but will later tonight.

Hi, abject apologies if this is an old ask but 15 pages and old eyes so may have genuinely missed it.
When I use the LRTP power I also get a LRTP Second Chance power popup in the usual popup tray.
Is there any way to stop that happening?
I did check at Null and no turn off option seen and asked ingame but no responses.
Thanks
Oh just had a thought, is this just a beta feature not destined for Live?

Well, from a solo viewpoint and using the code purely for personal use to a personal SG, I see this as a solution for a non existing problem that has been wooly headed thought through, designed by committee and implimented at best clumsily and at worst badly.
PBAOE is just a straw argument.
In addition, travel in this game is not playing the game, it is just an enabling support system to get you to where you do play the game (content)
We do not need to travel anywhere just to find loot or mine diamonds, if I walk from Atlas to the Hive I do not improve my stamina or walk speed. Travel does nothing else but move me.
So if I can get to where I want as fast as possible I get to play more.
Nobody is asking you to remove all the other means of doing travel so if you want to be traditional then do not use the code.
This game was always about play as you want to, the choice is yours, well used to be.

So from my purely personal viewpoint, “travel” is not and should never be “content”.
However we know that when this particular game was originally released that “content” was a bit thin on the ground and so total gameplay time to finish was shorter that seemed ideal.
So the solution that the then dev’s used was to use “travel” as a sort of quasi “content”.
They built the mission arcs with far flung contacts and thus introduced us to the zone ping pong system.
So from one remote corner of say Grandville we get sent to another farthest away corner of Nerva. (sound familiar?)
Oh and when you run most of those arcs solo through oro you never get given a cell phone to call home.
All that travel time just to have the contact say thank you and report back to the other guy in Grandville.
Job done!
Well that was all fine and dandy when we and the game was shiny new and exciting.
Now after how many years it is just old and annoying.
I play most of the time solo and have my own base on each server with all the beacons in place.
I have a macro for each base on all my alts so that as and when I swap servers I hit the game running travel wise.So I use my base passcode for my exclusive use and get on with playing the game not using the game.
I don’t want to use it to get out of combat I want to use it to get to combat.
It is the best transport system ingame which is exactly why the dev’s had it in the first place
The benifits of now finally having it for my personal use is a huge QOL change from live.
Exploits, I have no idea, just make it unavailable when in combat and leave it at that.
Don’t reinvent the wheel.

Hi, spend a fair amount of time ingame and solo and when doing so I like my pet with me for company.
However is there anyway to have it walk/run by my side and not a fair way away behind me?
A much shorter leash distance before they start to follow would be great so they are at heel.
Any ideas gratefully received. Thanks

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.
