I don't know if this would suffice, but there was an in-game explanation for these changes that I believe can work with roleplaying: "A strange energy spike in Galaxy City reached the old Supergroup Portal and caused a cascade overload in the entire Teleport network. Most of the damage has been repaired, but destinations in temporal flux have been lost to the past. DJ Zero was called in to establish the new portal in his Pocket Dimension, and as a courtesy he also set up portals in two other dimensions: Praetoria and The Shadow Shard. Vanguard has requested further restrictions of traffic near Paragon Heights while their investigation is in progress."

Not to mention the proliferation of the Ouroborus portal at level 1 now. There are so many more options for travel with these changes, not less!

Strictly speaking, there are twenty seven zones which are eligible for travel using the Long Range Teleport Accolade power. Assuming your numbers are accurate, this would reduce the resulting figure by nearly half the time.

General Feedback & Testing Notes (hope this is seen amongst the sea of generic opinions!): LONG RANGE TELEPORT ACCOLADE POWER After activating the Long Range Teleport Accolade power, a power tray pops up with the "Long Range Teleport Second Chance" power icon, allowing for a second attempt at using the power (much like the original T4 Teleport Pool Power). However, the icon that is displayed in this power tray is actually the T4 Long Range Teleport pool power icon and not the new icon given for the accolade teleport power. Activating the LRT power as a hero displays twenty zones which are eligible for travel, assuming all exploration badges have been unlocked. The in-game description indicates only sixteen for heroes. Doing the same thing as a villain displays fourteen zones which are eligible for travel, assuming all exploration badges have been unlocked. The in-game description indicates only eight for villains. This is only slightly confusing, as a character that is either a Rogue or Vigilante has access to twenty seven zones. This may be due to the power itself not being tied to alignment. See screenshots below: The description box for the Long Range Teleport Accolade power indicates that the following Paragon City zones can be unlocked: "Atlas Park, Brickstown, [...], Rikti War Zone, Rogue Isles, Skyway City...". Similar mislabeling is found in the following Rogue Isles zones that can be unlocked: "Port Oakes, Praetoria, Sharkhead Isles, ...". To alleviate any confusion, I would recommend removing the two underlined items in the description of the power, as well as reordering the zones which can be accessed via level progression or some other method.

Assuming accolades are the product of specific actions taken over time to achieve a required prerequisite, thereby unlocking access to the given accolade power - how would you say accolades are different? From my perspective, both will continue to require an investment of time and achieving certain actions (collecting badges). I can't agree that all accolades should be given account wide if unlocked on one character, which is why I can't agree on the LRT accolade unlocking for all characters as well.

Hi, the post that I quoted you said that "it easily takes several hours to get the badges in all zones". I was asking for either evidence to support this assertion or your testing methodology to validate your conclusion. Thanks. I am also confused as to why you would need to collect history badges?

@Xanatos While I completely agree with your logic, I cannot seem to rectify this with the fact that other accolades do not unlock account wide. Would your argument work with Task Force Commander? Or the Atlas Medallion? I am going to have to ultimately disagree with you, but I definitely can support your reasoning.

Can you provide any of your testing notes or methodology to explain this? Thanks!

Really excited with these changes. Telefighting in PvP can now be more than just a ranged game!

Hoping this is the correct place for this feedback: In the patch notes it was mentioned that "Minor geometry fixes to Siren's Call, Talos Island, Port Oaks and Atlas Park" were implemented. I had reported several geometry errors which allow access outside of each of these zones. It appears that two of those which I reported are still active and accessible. Talos Island: Location: 542.6 -2.0 6181.8. Another instance of the geometry being raised enough to allow a teleport underneath. See TP marker as white. Tested and worked. Siren's Call: Location: -648.0 -137.6 -276.9. The camera angle needs to be as depicted (in the screenshot) in order for the teleport cursor to appear white and allow activation. Tested and confirmed multiple times.

Ya! I tested out the LRT accolade and they removed the teleport glitch I reported this year. That is so awesome! Great solution. No more getting under the map or outside the zone.

Great idea, thanks

I am attempting to test the Long Range Teleporter accolade power on the beta server, but the Freebie menu doesn't award it. Therefore, I am assuming I need to collect every zone exploration badge to test this accolade?

This looks so awesome, can't wait to test it out. Thank you Homecoming volunteers for so many months of hard work!

Yeah, Babs and Manti literally spawn 6 times in a row. Is there something to getting the Miss Lib and Penny spawned?

Heroes first? I am on now.

Let us resume this effort today. I can try this anytime.

I'm getting a 'Tina' from Bob's Burgers vibe!

I certainly understand the premise of the OP's suggestion and I love playing pretty much every part of this game and doing all the many things a player can do. I support this suggestion. That being said, I rarely see constructive criticism in these suggestion threads lately. The OP isn't taking away anyone's anything. It's a suggestion, subject to other forum posters subjective opinions, all of which are valid, but I would venture out and advise folks who disagree with this suggestion to actually provide something more than a turndown post or /jranger quote. Compromise or adapt, nothing gets done when everyone has immovable positions.

Love the change and I disagree with this suggestion. Thanks!

Hi! If you scroll down to the accolade powers on these linked pages, you'll see what you can get for those associated day job badges. https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/Hero_Day_Job_Badges https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/Villain_Day_Job_Badges Edit: And to answer your question, once you unlock both Day Jobs Badges associated with the accolade badge, you can then start building credit time towards the accolade power. If memory serves me right, logging out for two days straight will max out the temp accolade power bonus (either time or number of uses).

Great guide and layout! I find myself intentionally using basic IOs until level 20 because I end up destroying things too fast and I like a challenge when soloing. Can't argue with the awesomeness of set bonuses and procs though!

Interesting! I have g-sync enabled if that helps line up with your reasoning. I have had nothing else running (aside from the normal background apps that windows forces everyone to run) and those are taking up less than 4% of my CPU performance and 0% of my GPU performance. I do notice that when I click away from the screen and open something else (say google chrome) my frame rate returns to 165 FPS. If I click back to the launcher, it drops back to 10 FPS. It isn't a big deal for gameplay, as once I click the server the frame rate drop disappears and I go back up to 165 FPS. It was just something unusual I wanted to annotate.

Sounds good Shock! Jacktar, great advice - if we aren't able to defeat them I would say that the droning is an option worth trying.

Indomitable also, I saw you on your Brute earlier and sent a tell. My global is @Glacier Peak. I'm Colorado, shouldn't be too hard to find a similar time. The issue I'm facing is the AVs hit way to hard in a group, so I try to pull. It's near impossible and then they all just wail on me. I had my longbow mech, my pill box, my shivan, extra temp pets, my P2W pets and I used all the nukes that buff, but the moment i pulled I get melted 😆 Edit: I'll be on Wednesday pretty much any time after 3PM MST / 2PM PST.
