Personally I have always used /macroimage DayJob_Teleport TP enterbasefrompasscode tour-5307 I always meant to include that as a second option but forgot at the time because I quickly wanted to submit the base publicly once JJ accepted before he changed his mind. I originally was making it for everyone but originally it was private discord only. So when he said to go ahead and let the rest of the server have the code I rushed. I will edit in the code now as a choice since I am finally back on the topic. Note that the reasons I use that code is because it is the smallest possible image string, and I figure the less the UI needs to have in its code the better my system will handle storing and sending it. As an aside I like the bright yellow image anyway as it really stands out. If you are curious about the differences between my code from the one you supplied... * Quotes are unnecessary unless you have spaces in a name. * The name only matters for mouse hover purposes but, even if you never use mouse clicks and just hot key it, 'something' needs to be put here if only just a single letter or number. Failure to include 'something' in the name field will cause errors. I use 'TP' just because it is descriptive of what the function is. * Underscores in code are almost always unnecessary and are stripped by the game anyway. The only exception where you 'need' the underscore for this is in the image selection code. The first part before the underscore is the category you are ripping the image from and the second part is the actual image and the game gets confused if its all in one uninterrupted phrase. Failure to include this single underscore will cause errors. This same issue of separating a category and a specific object within that category are the only times when an underscore is necessary to be included in macro and bind code as far as I am aware. * The final section of the passcode itself is not case sensitive. TOUR-5307, tour-5307, tOUr-5307 etc. all work so you can capitalize or not as you see fit.

Not necessarily. I've met several kids in the homecoming version of the game. By that I mean both 20 year olds and true kids of 11. Parents teaching their kids to love the game to the next generation is a heart warming thing.

At first we thought this was a deliberate new feature working as intended, but enough things have been spotted that we now think this is probably a bug and not intended. Currently the priests randomly will use a power that turns a positive defense into a negative defense of that exact value. So a 45% soft cap becomes -45%, a 28% becomes -28%, and a 5% becomes -5%. Further, your resistance drops by the exact value as the defense value. So if you had soft cap def and capped 90% resist you'd end up with -45% def and 45% resist. Or a 28% def and 90% resist would be -28% and 62%. That alone 'seems' buggy, but we in the Indom MSR discord managed to figure out that inspirations do not get affected by this. So adding purples and oranges will keep people alive through this otherwise harsh power of the Priests. Now, we're hoping that this power of the priest is the bug, but if its bugged that the inspirations aren't effected - then please don't fix it since it is the only thing keeping the raid relatively survivable for our pullers.

My apologies then. I'm just used to poor quoters then on the internet. "Context? Who needs that." seems to be more a state of perpetuity than anything. So now I jumped on you for something you did not mean. So, yes, apologies William. I agree with you on the "surely" part being conjecture rather than fact.

Then why include the first line? "This is exactly how swapping incarnate cores currently works." You may be right, but with that first line included it seemed to me that he was challenging that it worked that way at all. If he had just left that line out I would've been fine with his post. Because, no, I am not one of the devs so that "surely" of mine in the latter line is conjecture rather than fact and I will freely admit it.

I can not tell whether you honestly have no clue how to test that, or if you are just being a wiseass and people are giving you likes because they are biased and just like anyone who argues seemingly for their side without any care for what is actually said, or if it is the fact that they too are unable to use common sense and test it for themselves. Asking for a citation on such an easy to test statement is like asking for citation of proof on a statement that a helium gas filled balloon has a lower gravity than a bowling ball of the same sized dimensions. Seriously? Okay I will explain how easy this is to test. Go to Atlas Park or where ever else you want. While out of combat try to change your incarnate cores. Stare in shock as it works. Amazing! Then attack an enemy or let one attack you. Immediately after they die (or even while enemies are still attacking) try to change your cores again. Stare in shock at the error message about being unable to change it due to using a power or being attacked too recently. The horror! Wait for the recent combat code to fade away then try to change cores again. Stare in shock a third time as it does change. Eeek! But wait is that not exactly what I said in the first place..? But of course that can't be true without a citation! ... Seriously use some common sense please when posting rebuttals. It is not like I made a statement that is complex and hard to test. It probably took you more time to post that snarky Citation Needed image response than it would have taken to test it for yourself. I don't mind people who have a different opinion than me, or people who think that my opinion is invalid, but claiming that something needs citation when any person with working brain cells can test it for themselves and see it works exactly like that is just... ugh. *shakes head and walks away*

So it was not originally intended for all players to use? We get that, but so what? Neither was stuff at P2W vendors. Neither was tons of other things. Hell, I would argue that AE Farms do far more exploitation of the original concept of the game than this power does. Yet the devs and players alike are fine with all of that stuff I mentioned being in the game accessed by everyone. Is the passcode command being exploited? Sure and I think we all can agree that the no-dying exploit needs to be removed. But does that mean the command itself needs to be removed? No. It just needs to not be exploitable. Simple fix. Make the command be unusable if you are currently or recently have been involved in combat. Presto this fixes the no-death exploits of both PvP and Master TF runs. And don't try to tell me this simple fix is not possible. This is exactly how swapping incarnate cores currently works. If they can put that kind of limitation on core swapping then surely they can put the same limits on the slash command. Suddenly everyone is happy. No more exploits, yet people can still use it to travel to zones without having to do this pointless "Hey what zone connects to X zone?" thing or the equally annoying long travel through one zone just to enter a second zone. And for anyone who wants to give me grief over using it to travel between zones faster, I ask you this. How many of you only bake your food completely from scratch? Or do you ever eat out, have delivery, or eat pre-made foods at home? Unless you are Amish or some other type of person who hates time saving processes then the answer is that all of us have at least a few times in our lives if not on a constant daily basis done this. And guess what? It is exactly the same thing. Almost no one wants to take extra time to do something that can be done just as well but faster with less effort. If people are going to get upset about how fast the command can swap between zones, then they really need to ban AE farms first. Then they need to get rid of the P2W vendors. Those both save far more time from doing useless things than the time saved by not having to manually enter every zone connecting to each other. And neither of those things were originally intended by the game developers to be in place for everyone's usage.

Not immediately useful since its only week one when I post this, but when y'all return to Indomitable (for your weekly tanking event on the fourth Tuesday) feel free to use the community teleport hub I had made for our entire server's usage. I made it to be super easy and super quick to use even for first timers and have made the code available to everyone to use on entire server. It is available at /macroimage DayJob_Teleport TP enter_base_from_passcode TOUR-5307

Sounds good. I am willing to join that October 5th run since I know I have only done this ward's version of hami twice on HC and would like to get the badges on my other alts too. I think I remember one badge being an accomplishment and the other a defeat. Is that correct? Does anyone know which badge category Germinator Terminator and Full Spectrum both are listed under so I can quickly search in advance which alts have already done it and make sure whether they have both? I want to be ready in advance knowing which alts I can bring or swap to if we need more of a certain type. I am pretty sure my first defender already has both and would be surprised if she did not, but I am unsure about the rest of my guys and gals.

There is a couple problems with just using the LFG (as it currently is) when it becomes available. First it prevents anyone from level 1-34 from joining and currently a lot of people join MSR with those levels so this might make it harder to get full 48 raids going. Second, we have been hearing bad reports about spawn rates in the test LFG version and how they (and thus the rewards received) just do not compare with the real zone numbers making the LFG raid less useful. Regarding the second point I am unsure on. Personally, I have not tested it yet which is why I do not state it as an equivocal fact. Because of my only knowing results second hand I do not know if those reports are right. But assuming that they are then there is a problem. No one is going to want to use something that ends up giving inferior rewards so they will either need to drastically bump up the spawn rates (which causes other problems) or drastically bump up the rewards offered for completing it. Worst case scenario, if the reports on bad rewards for time spent is correct, then we will just ignore the LFG version and simply leave zone or relog between raids to avoid this crash.

"Should" being optimum word there. It has never happened for me and I have done strike targets every week for ages even on alts that are already +3 shifted including just last night on one of my alts. I can confirm that it is definitely bugged then.

This is indeed an alignment issue, but you are wrong about what is causing it. The bug occurs when someone, anyone, on your team is out of zone and not of the same alignment (rogue / hero or vigilante / villain) while at the same time there is someone else of the opposite faction out of zone. This also is true of the entire league as a league leader. Until they both zone in you personally will not be able to invite anyone new from any faction at all. If that person is part of a team with a team leader then not only you as a league leader but also that team leader will also be unable to invite. However any other team's leader with an empty spot will be able to invite. However, the bug is not permanent as the moment they both enter your zone / map you will now be able to invite people once more. Incidentally, this bug is closely related to another bug. There is also an alignment bug where that rogue / vigilante with a hero / villain leader attempts to enter their SG Base for teleporting. The moment they enter the zone the game removes them from the team because of the alignment conflict. Regardless, this alignment issue is one of the reasons a majority of people these days refuse to send invites unless you are already in zone and can prove it by using the broadcast channel or stand right in front of them.

I wondered why every time I logged in a character I had to change that. I just assumed that I had forgotten to set it for all my characters and thought that I had simply miscounted how many times I had set that.

Have you tried setting it to 49 and seeing if it resets that as well? It is possible because there is no level 0 that setting it at 50 is causing problems with the settings. If this fixes it then it is still a bug but at least we will know why.

A vigilante is basically nothing more than a hero that can "see" and be invited to villain content. A rogue is basically nothing more than a villain that can "see" and be invited to hero content. If you want badges awarded instead of just seen you do need to swap to something more acceptable to that faction. Incidentally, this is also why for some specific content such as the black scorpion power arc you need to swap over the good vs evil divide as well. Regardless, just swap, complete the content you wanted, and swap back if you want.
