Glacier Peak

EDIT: Deleted images because I reached my forum attachment limit 😅

When Fraps demo only let you record 20 second clips. And Youtube would always mute your music because it was copyrighted.

Interesting flair on the CC idea with the judging the judges idea. Keep up that fire HC volunteers!

Yeah, that's the plan. I played him to vet level 45, but I started to not like Spines. Keeping him for the name/costume for when or if it drops.

My favorites so far... Chronic Pain & Empirical are healers, pretty fun to play in PvP. Riot Control, Hazardeath, and Fire Guard are farmers that I love playing (though Riot is no longer in the rotation). Pomerium is a character I keep in Cimerora to play through that content or rerun Imperious. Glacier Peak is my main and badge collecting character.

Mac, thank you for all of this. I did not know that DR affected defense so much. I remember seeing a scaling table for defense on the PvP Discord, along with other values, but I am just surprised when you lay out the math like that. And I did not realize accuracy was applied AFTER the 5% clamp, wow! Makes so much more sense with the transition from PvE to PvP - defense centric characters get hit much more in PvP than the latter.

The days of 240p videos...

With Brute hard capped defense being around 225% (both situational and typed) - at what point will the game guarantee that only a 5% chance to-hit will occur? I know 45% seems to work well in PvE. With Elusivity in PvP, and on a defense focused SR Brute, that cap isn't terribly hard to attain - assuming no debuffs in play from another player, what is that magic number to only allow them a 5% chance to hit you?

This would be a perfect reason for me to reroll my brute "Riot Control"!

Can you elaborate on your "def is crap in pvp" statement for me? I am not disagreeing with you, and I know that damage output is king in pvp, but what makes defense crap for pvp?

I would recommend trying to get his Tip mission to unlock him as a contact if you have been using Ouro as a proxy.

He is actually located in St. Martial inside an unmarked warehouse (coordinates, -185, -275, 1652). I believe he should also be reached via cellphone. Edit: Access to this warehouse is predicated on whether you have unlocked him via the "Inside Information - Praetoria's Hidden Treasure" Tip mission.

@Zeraphia Great two birds one stone method! If my math checks out, you averaged around 800k an hour. The best damage taken I have managed, using the method of resting in a double fire spawn at the building on fire in Mercy Island and getting healed by two fully IO'd/Incarnated Lvl. 50 healers with single target heal on auto, was 2.1 million an hour. Edit: ...and in the process both received Empath!

They are called "Defeat All". No killing required.

Add additional unique zone events. Make the casino in St. Martial a chill meeting place with unique npcs hanging around. Make it also the place where you get a day job for bonus reward merits when you log out. Something like "Gambler" Add a Siren's Call-esque Bounty System in Grandville (opt-in). Might give the feel of a villain being number 1 and always having challengers (afro samurai!). I would be happy with Grandville getting graphical optimized too. Add sharks to the surrounding isle's water. Something Captain Mako related, plus backstory/lore. Villain Epic Pool Powers get a fifth power, Summon their actual patron. Add/finish moon base / rocket pad. Make it in to pvp zone where shivans & battalion and players fight to control entire alignment buffs/debuffs a la other pvp zones. Heroes win, every hero in every zone gets a temp increase in something power, same for villains, rogues, vigilantes, maybe praetorians? Add a setting which allows players to turn off that buff/ reject if they're RPing or something. Perhaps add a negative version to opposite or losing faction if that is fair.

Keep up that fire HC Team!

Chic fila Peppermint Milkshake!

It's funny, but I found that when I went through content on my badger, I wasn't really paying attention to or enjoying the storylines in the game. Surprisingly to me, I really just focused on getting that BADGE EARNED pop up. So I rolled a new alt the other day and it's actually nice being able to play through the game without thinking about how many more defeats I need or whether I passed by a history plaque and forgot to click it.

Simple question for anyone who has hit the current badge limit.

I'd like to see a consolidated forum section dedicated to farming as well. Right now all of the excellent player tips and resources for farming are scattered, aside from the ones in the Guides section. I think the topic is brought up enough to warrant at least a look by the volunteer Homecoming team.

There's a spot I found on one of the bottom sides of that building where the fire patches overlap and you take twice as much damage. When I do the damage taken badge farm, I put two of my healers on auto cast single target heal to assist me. They have both far surpassed the requirements for Empath doing so. The damage just about comes close to the maximum amount that I can take without dying, I believe my math told me it was about ~2 million an hour.

Defeat Badges Shadow Stomper - Defeat 100 Nictus Shadow Crystals Chart Topper - Defeat the most number of any villain group in a day, week, month (tracked via the in-game 'Paragon City Community Information system) Time Spent in Zones Badges Spend 1 hour in specific zones, much like the Hollows, Shadow Shard, and PvP zones have time spent badges. Expanded as necessary to encompass as many zones as possible. Encourages players to visit zones that may not see a lot of activity. Other Stationary - Stay logged in, but do not move your character for one hour. Fidgets - Stay logged in, and do not stop moving for one hour.

Good bug find!

Ah makes sense. Thanks for the consideration.
