  1. Cool. Three hours in and it's at 87%.

    No, because they can't. The defeats were not being tracked until the badge was implemented. An exception to this would be if there was some other way to confirm the defeat. For example, the badge for defeating Frostfire awarded retroactively because you must defeat him to complete that arc AND the arc awards a souvenir. I'm GUESSING they didn't try to retroactively award SOME of the progress by checking other badges (i.e. from DFB, Postitron TF 1 and 2). Frostfire was one check for one badge. This would have been three separate checks to award partial progress - which might not even be possible.
  3. Toggle Man laughs at your feeble endurance management. Toggle Man runs 16 toggles in combat. Please note that the tanker numbers were changed a few months back to match the controller numbers. Several of us checked personally and updated the Wiki accordingly.
  4. You're late to the party. 😛 I already pointed out that you can do a keybind that tries to fire every Destiny power you have and only the one actually slotted will fire. You don't have to remember which is active.
  5. I made this exact observation to my girlfriend yesterday. I was on a team of 8 for a respec trial and I always check the globals to see if anyone I know is on the team. I did not recognize ANY of the 7 global names and commented on that fact.
  6. I thought about that for flight powers, but I have a few characters that have more than one since different color flight packs look better with different costumes. However, I do use it for the buff pets (since you can only have one), the Nemesis Staff/Blackwand (since you can only get the AT bonus on one, I only take one). As an aside, a good set of keybinds make the game a lot easier. When I create a new character, I type the command to manually load a bindfile ONCE. The file has a keybind to reload the file, for when it gets updated. I also have a bind to load my chat window settings. If I change my chat settings, I have a bind to SAVE the new settings. I have a bind that tries to enter an SG base for each shard where I have characters - only the correct one works. To keep all the binds straight, I have a keyboard template that sits over my F-keys with three rows (F, alt-F, ctrl-F) of commands.
  7. There was *A* reason. Whether it was good or bad is 100% subjective.
  8. No, I just tested it with Destiny powers and I have always used that method with the Blackwand and Nemesis Staff. Edit: Specifically, the bind is: bind alt+f "powexecname Nemesis Staff$$powexecname Blackwand" It tries to fire both but my characters all have just one and it works fine.
  9. That works. I just tested it to be sure. I used the following set of commands and it triggered the one that was actually slotted (which was the one in the middle). powexecname "barrier radial epiphany"$$powexecname "barrier core epiphany"$$powexecname "indandescence radial epiphany" I've always used a similar keybind for the Blackwand and Nemesis Staff. I have a keybind that tries to execute BOTH, but my characters all have the one that gives them the AT bonus, so it fires off the power they actually have.
  10. 1. Some had already updated the Leadership table for the new tank values before I got there. Outstanding. 2. I updated the historical section to indicate which issue changed the tanker values. 3. None of my tanks have Vengeance or I would check that.
  11. The chart is wrong. Tanker Leadership toggles got buffed. I seemed to recall that had happened and logged into a tank to check. Assault: +15% Tactics: +10% Maneuvers: +2.63%
  12. Damn right. My main has plenty of accuracy in his attacks, global acc from sets, the Kismet unique, Tactics and Focused Accuracy. He can hit just about anything in the game. When a Protector activates Moment of Glory, I hit Build Up and destroy them. All of my defenders, corrs and trollers have AT LEAST Assault and Tactics. If they have a set with defense-based powers, then they also take Maneuvers (or if they need to mule one more Luck of the Gambler).
  13. Oh, it wasn't just 'that guy' buying one for 180M. My girlfriend was on one of the early hard mode runs and sold *FOUR* PAP at 200M *EACH*.
  14. Let's see what I have. Fidgety Girl (electric/electric/electric blaster) An inexperienced barista at an upscale coffee shop, Jennifer Burke was involved in a tragic accident involving a new, experimental espresso machine. Now, her body infused with caffeine and electricity, she is constantly on the prowl for criminal activity. They say crime never sleeps. Well, neither does Fidgety Girl! Fists of Furry Fury (SR/street justice tanker) Misty was an outdoor cat. She could never stay cooped up in the house. She had to go places! She had to do things! She had to see everything! One of the things she saw was bad people. They were mean to animals and they were mean to each other. Every night, she dreamt that some day she would be able to do something about it. They say that if enough cats dream something, it will come true. Maybe if just one cat dreams something long enough..... Unarmed Wombat (MA/SR scrapper) Jack Tyler was hiking in the Rocky Mountains when he was abducted by the Council and subjected to bizarre experiments intended to create a new type of killer to complement their warwolves and vampires. Jack was able to escape from the lab and was befriended and raised by a community of wombats (how these Australian marsupials ended up in North America is a story for another time). Now he fights all forms of evil, but especially those that despoil or defy nature. Lord Footloose (Soldier of Arachnos crab spider) You know, Lord Recluse would have a much better image if he had a funkier name and knew how to unwind. At least that's what his little brother Gustav would always tell people. Stefan eventually had enough of his brothers shenanigans and told him he wanted him in Arachnos, where he could keep an eye on him. Gus could handle that. He even decided to get those silly crab legs to look more like his big brother. But Gus is going to show him how to do it WITH STYLE! Where is there a party? Let's boogie! Mr. Shouty (sonic/sonic defender who only talks in all caps) SO I WAS ALWAYS THE LOUD ONE WHEN I WAS GROWING UP. I'M OKAY WITH THAT. I'VE LEARNED TO LIVE WITH IT AND I'VE LEARNED TO USE IT AS A HERO. MY DAUGHTER CAME UP WITH MY HERO NAME. SO I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANY WISECRACKS ABOUT IT OR YOU'LL GET AN EARFUL!!! I had all of these back on live and have only recreated Fidgety Girl and Mr. Shouty on Homecoming. Feel free to use the other names if they amuse you.
  15. The names are all homages to The Wacky Races. Slag - Rock and Gravel Slag - two cavemen in a stone car Gruesome - the Gruesome Twosome Blast - Sergeant Blast who drove a tank Ruffcut - Rufus Ruffcut, who was a lumberjack and drove a car with circular saws for wheels Ant - the Ant Hill Gang - bunch of really short mobsters Blubber - Lazy Luke and Blubber Bear Dastard - Dick Dastardly Edit: FYI, I was able to remember all but two of those. I had to look up Blast and Ruffcut.
  16. Who says it's piloted by humans? You could fit an entire team of hamsters in the head.
  17. Well, if you like non-stealthed task forces, I would recommend the popular "money-bags ITF" - i.e. run it at +4 (not four stars) and kill pretty much everything in sight. Pretty fast and easy and it's good money and fun.

    Poor guy

    I think so. I see plenty of items where four of the recent sales are in a tight range like 3.8M to 4.3M and then one was sold for 10M.
  19. Then you're doing it wrong. I mean, why are we on the forums if not to pwn some n00bs? 😛
  20. And on the other weekends, you work at a soup kitchen so it all balances out, right? Ah. Currently, difficulty setting ramps up with the star rating. So, 1-star is +1 level (or higher, if you want) and 2-star is +2 (again, higher if you choose).
  21. Pro tip. Recruit secretly. I got all of them on my scrapper by having my girlfriend log in a tank and I logged in my rad defender on my second account. We mentioned what we were doing to some friends on Discord and couple more came along with their badgers. We had all of one alignment in under 30 minutes then switched alignments and got the rest of them.
  22. In my opinion, not everyone who engages in PvP is a 'real PvP'er'. There are real PvP'ers and there are bullies/gankers/morons. It's the morons who trash talk. It's the morons who kill you repeatedly just to be annoying. It's the morons who camp. In my time collecting badges in PvP zones, I've run into plenty of both. The morons behave like stupid children. The real PvP'ers will politely wipe the floor with you and then, if you ask, discuss your build and tactics. Sometimes I even win. I remember beating one PvP'er and he commented that he didn't know I PvP'ed (I knew him from the forums). I said that I didn't and that I was only there for the badges. He said something like, "Wow, nice fight, then. I'll leave you to it." That's a real PvP'er. The toxic morons in the PvP zones are just toxic morons no matter where you run into them.
  23. I do check their global, but don't invite until they say so for two reasons: 1) The reason you stated - they could be using the LFG to teleport to the contact. 2) They might be checking multiple characters to see if they have one who needs the badge.
  24. Let's see. I believe the cost is just over 12 million inf (10M for the team transporter, 1M each for the mission TP and base TP, some jet pack charges and a bunch of free stuff). Picking AT, powersets and name are all done before I log in, so zero time. I don't sit down and plan to create a character. When I randomly think of something I'd like to play, then I go make it. The only time-consuming part is the costume. I did one yesterday that took under 10 minutes, but that's unusual. I don't think I've ever taken more than an hour, though. Setting up UI, chat window, etc - seconds. I'm a big fan of keybinds so this stuff takes as long as it takes to me type the command to load my main keybind file. From that file, I load other keybinds. Getting my P2W stuff, under 2 minutes since I've done it many times before. Running around Atlas Park to get the exploration accolade and unlock the Long Range Teleporter, then smack some dudes on the way back to the trainer - 3 or 4 minutes. Then train to level 2. So, we're looking at 7-8 minutes plus the costume creation, which varies greatly.
  25. OMG I have never heard or thought of that. Is there a secret handshake to go with the password? 🙂
