  1. Someone mentioned a progress bar on story arc. I like that one. I'd also like to see people in tfs able to read along besides just the leader in talking to the contact.

     

    I was healed from the loss of this game that first weekend that Score became available. That was all I needed, even with the panicked wipe that happened. It was just right. I played from i6-close, and now I've gotten addicted to this game again with ever-increasing shard stability (your team is unprecedented). The game looks like it's going to become fully legit (and will start earning revenue somehow - and I'd like to know how), but living on a limited income, and trying to better myself personally, doesn't mesh well with me continuing to play this awesome and enveloping superhero/supervillain game, as much as I'd love to learn all about Battalion and Omega (etc) incarnate powers, and the accumulations of more than 1500 badges. I ❤️ CoX, but my time here is limited to when I know the right time to drop it will be. I just wanted to say thank you to whoever kept it alive all these years, and released it back into this sweet resurrection and into a full revitalization. Good god, that's hot!

     

    I like playing at 50 with accolades and enhancements. I like playing endgame, not trying to get there. I like playing mid-game content through ouro, badges or not. I like PLing a character I want to play up to 50, getting in all the enhancements I want, and then playing at 50 (endgame and -50 content - tfs, etc). More mid-game stuff is an excellent idea, but know when things actually need changed versus making it into something not quite like City. Let there always be more ways and reasons to play this game than one. Goofing off with a league on the ski slopes using incan is a perfectly legit way to play if that is what ends up happening some evening...

  2. Maybe it'll settle down. On the weekends was usually the only time having this problem. The cost has been at a stable 500K inf per. 450K during the week nights. Now it's upward for 600K-1m for a single piece of salvage. People fucking with something that was comfortable for me. I realize it's not game-breaking, but it is hard on the virtual wallet. I wanted to see if we could get it driven down a bit, for some pretty necessary salvage.

    Make sure when you click the blinky you read the clue. You need to visit mender "name" in ouroborous BEFORE you enter the next mission as he needs t speak with you. 

    Thank you. I have it. I just never got back here to say it eventually worked for me. I ran the mission several times, even after having read the clue, but eventually I got the shiny.

  4. The progress bar is full: 100 Hellions, 100 fires extinguished. But it does not complete. I've tried changing alignment. I've tried continuing to fight fires and Hellions to infinity. The progress bar is so stuck, when you hover the mouse over it, it doesn't even show you the progress, like every other progress bar.

    Issue 22 added a level 20 - 24 blue side short story arc, "Collateral Damage," given by Laura Lockhart.  If you run it a second time in Ouro (it doesn't matter how you run it the first time, regular or Ouro), there's a new glowie crate in the first mission.  Open it, and read the clue it gives you.  That sets you on a different path for the second run, and it gives the "Guardian of Forever" badge.

    I've made headway. I got the blinkie, went into it the second time, and have reach the building in the mission where I place to doohickey on her face. I'm running into a locked door to get to her. I've cleared the whole base but no key dropped for me and I'm stuck.

    Marchand's arcs are available in Ouro.  They're in the level 50 range, so if you're not 50 yet, that's why you're not seeing it.

    I wasn't adept at handling the crystals yet. I see them now. Thank you.

  7. In doing the second story arc from Provost Marchand (Primal Earth), I failed to get the badge Pendragon's Ally as I failed to keep him alive. The mission ended, and I got the badge for the mission, but not that particular badge available only in that mission. Provost isn't available in Ouro, to the best of my knowledge, but only via phone in Brickstown. So I'm left wondering, did missing this badge mean I cannot go back and get it ever?

  8. Problem solved. I was stuck in a loop of going to the same ones over and over and missing the two I was missing. I'm glad I'm at least not crazy about the map vs. the terrain. A couple of those seemed have had markers though they wouldn't pick up. Found my first bug/plot hole, but it's with vidiot. Still. Fun being at the forefront of something.

     

    Thank you for finding out about the active vs inactive/nonexistent badges. ❤️ Fiddlesticks

    So, here's the deal.

     

    Badges 5, 6, 7, and 8, do not exist in Siren's Call. Yet.

     

    Because apparently what is going on is Vidiot maps is showing a strangely prescient view of a possible future. Those badges may be there in the future, when an update happens.

     

    But they aren't there now.

     

    You should be able to get the first four just fine. I and two other have done so this very evening.

    Good to know as far as the 4 that aren't there. I'm still not sure why I can only pick up 2. Is all I can do, then, to keep going back to repeat useless fly-bys on the 2 I can't get?

  10. Siren's Call: Vidiot maps labels explore badges named hangman, piratical, politician, broad shoulders, wasted resources, hot dog, still standing, and volatile. Having just arrived at the zone, I can only pick up hangman and piratical. I can see several of the others on the ground by my feet. I cannot pick up any of them besides the two.

  11. I was running a team in the ouro level of the praetorian av arc through tina. One of us was lvl 30 and while that person could have joined us running it in PI, they couldn't join us through Ouro. Is that a bug or intentional? It doesn't sound intentional

  12. I have the Field Crafter badge, so it's still there at least.

     

    For me it popped after getting the 1000 crafts, I'd already completed all the 45-50 memorization at that point already, so it's possible that it has been changed to require those as well.

     

    Someone in game looked through my badges and told me I missed the tutorial one. It could be that. I'm in a trial so I'll have to check in a bit. You're a bit like a celebrity to me, though, for it was your name I saw one top of the badge checklist I use or am starting to use. That's good work~

  13. I have just gone through the gambit:

     

    From https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Field_Crafter_Badge:

    "*Tutorial badge: Inventor

    *Crafting badges: Master Craftsman

    *Memorization badges: Declining, Decaying, Despoiler, Dismantler, Medicator, Mender, Rebuilder, Revivifier, Armorer, Guardian, Protector, Security, Blinding, Beguiller, Charming, Charismatic, Energy Conservationist, Battery Powered, Nuclear Powered, Mystically Powered, Trigger Man, Hired Gun, Hit-Man, Sniper, Major, Lt. Colonel, Colonel, Major General, Munitionist, Weaponeer, Warhead, Arms Dealer, Pilgrim, Vagabond, Wanderer, Walks the Earth.

     

    The fifth Crafting badge and the level 45-50 Memorization badges are not required."

     

     

    The only badges I don't have are the 2000 inventions one and now Field Crafter, though I have side-by-sided with the list on wiki. I should have more than enough so there's some kind of problem I need help with, I believe.

  14. Make sure to have npc, pets, and cutscenes in one of your chat boxes. You can make a special tab to house them all. That should make them visible as not having them in any chat box makes them not show up.

     

    Oh thanks! I did this, so now I just have to get into a trial to test it.

  15. I'm guessing this is a setting rather than a bug, but just to be sure...

     

    As the subject line reads, the cut scenes are just the chars in their stances and such, exactly the same as always (for instance, BAF with nightstar and siege and mother mayhem). There are no word bubbles though, so it isn't like a story so much as disjointed scenes. If I hadn't played these a thousand times, I wouldn't know what is being said.

     

    It doesn't seem at all related to whether I have word bubbles on or off as far as my char and those of others. I usually roll with the bubbles off, but that has never made it happen like this where I can't see the dialogue of cut scenes. I'm confident it isn't that setting, which I have actually turned on to no avail.

     

    Here's hoping for an easy fix.

  16. Disconnections all around, lag even rounder. Sweet merits, but if the older servers couldn't handle AE PLing, how are the servers doing these days on this? How is your computer doing? I'm just asking questions. If something seems game-breaking, I'd like to say something, even if I'm wrong.

     

    It's a bit like Black Friday, everybody GO!

     

    And it's only expanding.

  17. Opinion: Some of the game is being played by frankly faster games' methods. This game wasn't that exactly, except in bursts. Hami Raids weren't an every hour thing. Ship Raids were kind of hard to get people up to once in awhile. Certainly not by the thousands a day. There is a lot more, more than accolades, merits getting every badge in the first week, achieve, achieve, achieve. It's so frantic. The game is easy to run in Ultra. I'm not going to keep doing the things that test my circuits, for one. It was trying something of its own in its own time in what, 2012? The Venn Diagram can overlap, our new ideas and its old ones (or maybe bring back something) but some of this has to just be special for at first right now, and then less...frantically pushing forward in clumps. Incarnate powers were special because until them, capped at 50, we STILL had more to do than any of us could ever do enough. Incarnate came along when we needed something new and more. You dig? Like, it's all so awesome. I have nothing I want to take away from that. I'm broadly aware of my flaws and being part of the problem. It takes that to start to try to help instead. You have to be a villain before you can become a hero.

  18. People knew me as Infinitum of the Paragon Defense Force.

     

    Suddenly one day we faded away, then like it was yesterday but 7 years later we appeared back.

     

    Who the heck is this Thanos guy and why was he snapping his fingers at us?

     

    Infinitum and Aleriana (my wife) and our 2 sons now are all back.

     

    Would love to team back up with the old veterans that ran with us.

     

    I can tell you who Thanos is. He won the infinity war with his magically snappy metal glove (try it). Also, what's with a literal snap? It operates on willpower. Anyway, the sequel? I don't know. Did they win? CoX is back. Game of Thrones? Season 8 has been amazing. I love that it's wrapping up. Last week's episode? I don't know. CoX is back. Pop culture? CoX. My life? My life trumps my entertainment. My entertainment, however, is pretty sharply focused over the last month. April 13, 2019 is the resurrection day. I was here by sheer luck (more like a series of synchronistic events - I definitely had not been following this subject. It was only a memory; a memory that prompted me to look in on Paragon's ghost on the very day it was released back to us by Score, which was then deleted. And now, the shards are growing and growing more stable by the minute. The volunteers in this labo(u)r of love have my gratitude, although the only thing my heart cares about is that I got to enjoy it even for a day. Catharsis.

     

    I was and am Bluejay, though my global is @Sleepy Alligator, a persona now vastly inferior to the fierce birdy. <3
