Thanks folks :)

I was just awarded the Task Force Commander Badge with out completing the Sister Psyche TF. I am under the impression that I should not have been awarded this Accolade unless I completed all Six Freedom Phalanx TFs on the Hero side. Excelsior Server Toon name "My Uncle Sam."

With an average team that knows what they are doing and all working for the same end goal you can absolutely get get averages out of every Task Force. Those averages equal the time spent vs Reward. I've been playing this game for almost 20 years straight. Literally run Thousands of Task Forces from lvl 02 to 50+. Every last Task Force takes about the same time to complete every time. Just one example, the first TF, Posi 1 and 2, both should always take about 30 minutes each to run with an average team with Teleport. You may have a outlier from time to time, newb or someone who has a bad build or is just a bad player or no TP on the team. All these things will stretch out the time of course but more often then not you will not have this problem. The vast majority of those playing have been playing for years and know what they are doing. Look, I was on the Secret Server. I know for a fact when they couldn't create new content they spent time on game balance. For years it felt like that's all they did was game balance. The game as it is now is probably more balanced then it has ever been. The last few updates have continued this trend. So this is what it's about? Time vs Reward is absolutely the best and fairest way to distribute reward in an online video game. I have a Def Pure Emp that I have to slog my way through Mishes with, I also have a Tank Willpower/Energy that crushes in every mish. My point is if you have a toon that doesn't crush in every mish/TF, build one. Maybe it's your toon that's as fun as a Happy Day at the Park but it just doesn't give the results you are looking for. Change it up until you find that toon that absolutely crushes the TFs so you get those averages everyone else is getting. Happy Hunting.

Did you level your toon completely before the respec? Not completely leveling a toon before respec has been known to cause some weird things to happen, including failed respecs.

Example why these numbers will be almost useless: Several years back they had a contest to see what team could run +4 x8 ITF the fastest. It was a pretty big event with lots of prizes. Every team started at the same time. Every team was balanced. One thing everyone forgot about was map spawns. The Cysts map in the ITF has several different map layouts that can spawn. The fastest map is the straight (shotgun) map. The shotgun map only spawned for one team. That team blew everyone else’s time out of the water. It wasn’t even close. The newer TF/SF have multiple different maps that can spawn. This can greatly alter the time for completion. You can pretty much judge how long an TF/SF should take to complete by the number of Merits rewarded.

I'm pretty sure this is a known bug. Maybe going back years. May want to do a deep dive into past bug reports.

I'd be interested to know if: 1) it changes back after a few days and 2) what the "info" says it's a lvl 50 or says it's a lvl 10

The Power Suppression Rooms were turned off on the Secret Server, low population and all, it wasn't needed. I remember people complaining about it back then but it was never changed back. Is it really a problem still?

Lvl 50. Incarnate. I was not using Incarnate Pets.

2nd Defeat in 3 three hours on the same toon. The Reward notification said I received: 6 Merits and 1 Monster Aether. I did not actually receive the 6 merits or the 1 Monster Aether. This is correct. This was changed in the last Adamastor Defeat update. So, the old reward notification for the second defeat was not removed during the last update and should be removed.

It’s probably left over code that occasionally pops up from when Ouro was exclusive to each side. The code is mostly hacks and clever ways around problems. Artifacts pop up from time to time. This is most likely one of them.

Great catch.

Is that the building with the contact or maybe a trainer in it? I remember on live people bugging it and the Devs explaining it was like that do to the contact being in the same building. If it’s the same building you are referring to.

Yes, I meant that as -End to the enemy. Which as you point out is +End to the player. All the powers that remove endurance (-End) from the enemy had a solid go over on the Secret Server.

All the -End powers had a pretty good work over on the Secret Server. This may be the best -End will ever get in this game.

You can actually get a better connection to wi-fi if your 10’ from the router then if the router is sitting on top of your desk 2’ from your computer. If the router is close to your computer try moving it a bit farther away.

Sounds like you created a new account. Characters are kept on the Homecoming Server. So when you log in the Homecoming Launcher all your toons should appear, but out of order.

That has to be annoying.

Sometimes a Hero just isn’t fast enough.

Replace Tequila with the Launcher "Pull that band aid off now. You'll thank me for it later."

Do you have any antivirus software installed?

Thanks dude

Echo: Atlas Park "Rookie" Badge is missing I've tried looking for it on multiple toons. It ain't there.
