Thanks so much! While it's not ideal, it's better for my eyes than the default display. And I understand this isn't the highest priority issue, so I appreciate that it's on the When We Have More Time list at all.

Is there a way to customise the display settings per account? I looked but couldn't find anything. I find the new forum very hard on my eyes. If I could change the text and/or background colours or possibly change the font, that would help.

Thank you! I feel silly for not having thought of using Ouro on my own.

Just out of curiosity, what are your tactics for using it solo? Do you place it in a group of enemies from around a corner so it goes off before they leave the area? Or when fighting do you place it on top of yourself so it hits any attacking enemies? I'm finding it to be rather meh for a top-tier power. As others have said, the damage isn't all that impressive, and it never seems to taunt mobs significantly. I thought it would be a cool way to pull mobs off me when getting swarmed, but they never prefer the device to me. Also, it barely scratches bigger bosses. I already wipe out a group of minions in 2 or 3 clicks with my other powers, so I'm having a hard time finding a good use for it.

Ah ok, thanks. So it does check.

If I were to play for a while then shut down the game but leave the launcher running, then come back to play hours later not aware an update had taken place, what would happen? When I click the Play button does it check for updates, or only when the launcher is first started up?

That's interesting, cuz the one thing that does seem to be working consistently for me is contacts introducing themselves when requirements other than experience level are met. E.g. on redside Tarixus, Doc Buzzsaw, Jaeger, and the Slot Machine all contacted me when I fulfilled their prerequisites.

I've asked others in the game and they are experiencing the same thing. Question is whether this is now working as intended, or is it a bug with Find Contact and Ouro as the workarounds. I imagine neither is helpful to a new player.

OK, I've played a hero to 50 and a villain to 30 so far, and I'm definitely sure now that some contacts who are supposed to introduce themselves are not doing so. For example, Keith Nance & Jenni Adair on blueside, Dean MacArthur & Leonard, Vincent Ross, and Dean Yu on redside. among others. Also, whoever gives the arc about the rogue police and the mediporter technology on blueside. Note I don't mean the ones with special prerequisites to unlock, like Veluta Lunata; just the normal level-based unlocks. I know these arcs can be accessed via Ouro, but it would be nice if the contacts appeared when they are supposed to in normal play. Anyone else having this problem?

So, use threads to get all my Tier 3s and save merits for the 4s. I get it now. Thanks very much.

Oh, is it Kahn? I'm no expert, but isn't that heroes only? I thought Leandro said that the 3rd visit was something both heroes and villains could do.

Sorry for any confusion. There's just one badge. To get it one must visit the Hero One memorial in 3 different ways: 1) On the world map in City Hall 2) During the cape mission 3) Apparently during the Lady Grey TF? (I have not confirmed this myself)

After you finish your epic battle with Mot you can call again the Dream Doctor. He has a personal story for ya like the others and then you can do the first intro mission and that leads to the incarnate trial: https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Dilemma_Diabolique_Trial a guide is here: http://web.archive.org/web/20121003093304/http://na.cityofheroes.com/en/news/game_updates/issue_22/dilemma_diabolique_strategy_guide.php Thanks! I never knew there was any sort of contact-based intro for that. Back in the day I think I must have just done it via the LFT window.

Thanks so much for this guide! I wouldn't have understood this new system of veteran levels without it. Can you explain these two points please? I'd like to understand why you make each of these suggestions. Note that all the old repeatable solo DA arcs are available, continuing from Mu'Vorkan all the way through to the finale. However, while you can choose threads or merits at the end of each arc, there is no longer a reward for completing the whole story. Where did you get a task force contact, and is that new? I ran through the entire Incarnate DA story solo over the past couple days and didn't encounter anything I couldn't complete on my own. Not that it was always easy... :-)

I don't mean to sound flippant, but to me that sounds exactly like escorting always was back in the old days, and still is, sadly. I can remember everyone complaining about these things regularly. Still, I say keep this as a bug report, in case the new devs can change it!

Aye, I'm lvl 50 and have completed all the RWZ arcs, so maybe I should just keep logging out there for a few more days and see whether it's just the progress bar that's not working.

I've spent several hours logged off in the Vanguard base in RWZ with the appropriate day job icon showing, but I have no progress bar towards Vanguard Recruit in the Day Job section. Is this a problem with the day job itself, or just an issue of progress bar display? Has anyone else managed to get this Day Job badge? I don't want it so much for the merit bonus as I do for the Mercenary Accolade when combined with Patroller.

Never took one on my main back in the day, and haven't done so on her reincarnation. For me the only bad thing about not having a travel power is the other players who insist I have to have one.

[Not sure if this is a bug; apologies if not] In the finale RWZ mission from Serpent Drummer, where the goal is to rescue Faultline, Fusionette, and Lk'Onik and then defeat Hro'Dtohz, Hro'Dtohz was standing just inside the mish doorway so I had to defeat him (and a Rikti Heavy that showed up, plus some other non-EB reinforcements) immediately on my own. If memory serves, these leaders were supposed to spawn deep inside the map after one had a chance to rescue one's allies.

According to Paragonwiki, you may have one or the other (blue or red) version at any time. If memory serves, when a character switches sides these badges automatically convert.

Oh wait, I have an idea...

Oh man, now I have to try to remember all the content from 7 years ago!

I have a progress bar in my Exploration section that says 'Visit the Hero 1 Memorial to earn this badge.' It is at 2 out of 3 and won't move forward regardless of how many times I visit the memorial. I'm wondering if it requires visiting the site in three different instanced versions: 1) On the world map 2) On the cape mission 3) ? 4) Profit! -- er, I mean Badge! Anyone know anything more about this badge? I don't recognise it from the old days.

Veteran levels are what you earn after level 50, when the normal XP leveling process stops. If you notice your XP bubbles once at lvl 50, they are still filling as you do content that earns XP. You still ding-rez and get the usual inspiration bonus, and every set number of times you totally fill all ten bubbles, you'll earn Emp Merits. I believe it's every three or so veteran levels for a bit, and then it happens less often. It's a way for you to earn your Incarnate stuff faster and not have to run Trials all the time, as some folks have a hard time getting to do them. If I have any info wrong, feel free to correct me. (My emphasis) I don't have a 50 yet; is the solo Incarnate content in DA working? Back in the day I ran that more than I did iTrials.

If you were to implement such a bonus for solo players, please give us an option to disable it. There are also players like me who think the normal rate is perfect and don't want to level faster when solo. One of the reasons I don't team much is because I blow past so much content too quickly.
