I'd rather see instanced Hami raids where the leader could kick habitual offenders. MSRs already have this and leaders should be using it where applicable. I haven't messed with Labrinth since it was on test so I can't speak to that. I don't like the thought of short afk/kick timers in Abyss because one often must arrive up to 30 min early if you want to guarantee yourself a spot in the zone. That just leaves too many opportunities for someone who took the initiative to arrive early to lose track of time and get kicked from the zone which then fills and prevents that person from getting back in. I do see the afk leeches occasionally so I understand where you're coming from but I don't support this proposed solution.

Had to add a tab to my spreadsheet for 50s with food names... Surprising to learn that I have not 1 but TWO toons using "Porkchop" in their name. When I was little I had a hamster named Porkchop too. Do I love porkchops? It's actually pretty rare that I eat porkchops, why do I keep naming things after porkchops??? ~PorkchopGoat

Perhaps an account wide defeat badge after 10x the required number of defeats is achieved? I still don't love that but it seems reasonable. And as with all things, options are good so allow ppl to opt out should they desire.

Ultimately I'm not on board for account wide, free or purchasable badges or accolades. Maybe I'm a weirdo but I like that I have to earn them on each toon and learn the ins and outs of my toon to do so efficiently. I may discover that a badge or accolade is trivial to acquire on a Super Strength Brute but is much more difficult to acquire on a Mind Troller. I would never know that and I'd never have to develop a new strategy to be successful if the badge I got on the Brute counted for my other 120+ toons. If pressed I could probably get on board with account wide History badges though even then, that particular toon hasn't read those plaques so they would be ignorant of the lore contained within unless I RP that all my toons are a Borg Collective with a shared consciousness. If this came to fruition it wouldn't drive me out of the game but it would be somewhat diminished in my eyes.

That would be nice! Display it as current/max so you know at a glance that if you're at 980/1002, 1 more badge will cap you out and you won't get the full value out of that last badge.

Yes please! I'd also love a one in Galaxy City if we're doin a trainer pass!

I don't think we should be able to buy permanent stat buffs for our toons at any price. Make it 10 million per hour per accolade so you get 10 hours of all 4 accolades for 400 million. That would still be trivial for anyone with more money than time and since the buffs aren't permanent it wouldn't devalue the effort to get those accolades for those who would acquire/have acquired them the traditional way.

Update: Last night I completed the Percy arc, no bonus merits. Then I went back and did the arc with "Stop the Fir Bog" and completed it and BOOM! Bonus Merits! I think in the Fir Bog mission you have to kill 100 Fir Bog for it to end so it took a while! I've done that mission on teams before but somehow never realized that 100 kills was the goal.

I appreciate you calm logic and that's a fair assumption but imo, not a valid reason. It just doesn't make any sense to me that HC allows other unrelated servers to dictate what HC can develop. HCs approach to other servers should be that of Don Draper in the elevator, "I don't think about you at all". I don't expect anything to change but the whole concept really chaps my hide.

Oh! Son of a gun! Yes, I failed the Fir Bog mission! Dang, gotta re-do that one.

I don't think I got the Badge but I'll have to double check after work. I had out leveled the zone for 1 of the contacts and did the last arc through Oro. The crystal showed the other arcs as complete so the main 4 are definitely complete. I'll start with Percy tonight and hopefully that'll get me the bonus!

Do you think the KHTF is required for the bonus? I completed the 4 main contacts in Croatoa last night and did not receive a bonus but I also haven't done KH on this toon yet.

Oh, while I'm dreaming, I want HC to drop the asinine "if other servers have it, HC can't have it" rule. Why on earth should other servers have even the slightest bit of influence on what HC does? It's the dumbest notion ever conceived!

I want Mission TP to have the same activation time as TT.

Wonderful! Thank you folks! Croatoa was the zone I thought I completed last night and got me thinking about this but I forgot about Percy Winkley! I know where I'll be starting tonight!

I have a faint memory of reading that if you completed all the contacts in a zone you'd get bonus merits but I've only ever managed to get those bonus merits in the Hollows. Do any other zones get that bonus?

Yes please! That would finally let me get the 6pc Stupefy Def bonus without using the awful chance of KB proc!

Very true, they didn't nail all the details unfortunately. I'll forgive it in exchange for the exposure. WC Gaming has 1.7 million subs so hopefully a handful of folks just learned that CoH is still going strong and are downloading the Launcher as we speak!

Always nice to see the old fella get a little shine! Start at 12:04 for the CoH part if the timestamp thing didn't work.

As a general rule I'm opposed to removing things from the game so I wouldn't want the bulky shields removed but making the minimal FX version the default option would be cool.

The Abyss is limited to 50. Some nights Hami raids have unbearable lag and some nights there is zero lag. Qty in zone may play a part but it doesn't appear to be the determining factor.

What if they leave the current one as the WST but offer a non-wst split version option? Would you be opposed to players having that option?

I like the buffed enemies modifier, it offers a more challenging mission but isn't too hard to overcome. Combining the extra modifiers is where things get messy. No travel powers is tough as it will also disallow any temp travel powers like jet packs so you will have to hoof it everywhere. Vertical travel becomes a real pain. If I remember correctly, stuff like base portals will also get disallowed. No temp powers is also tough, I use more temps than I think. Again your jet packs would go away so grab a travel power early. I think stuff like team teleporter and mission teleporter are disallowed too. It's been a while since I've played with the modifiers so apologies if off on anything but I distinctly remember more powers going away than I expected with the no temps/no travels modifiers.

Don't sleep on the temp Jump Pack you get from the Kings Row Bank job, it's discount super jump for 2 hours and its faster than the flight packs.

It only lasts until you change alignment. Then you wait however long it takes (5 days?) to acquire that new alignments power. If you never change alignment it won't go away. No charges or time limit to it.
