Spring event as a whole is the easiest of the holiday events.
I would say winter is the next toughest due to the Lord Winter league part of it, and th monotony of getting 200 presents for toy collector.
Summer event is harder then both winter and spring due to the foes you face in the collisieum and that you are level capped at mid level.
The hardest event imo, is Halloween. One zombie invasion should get you those four badges, finding jqck and eochai is fairly easy though jack appears to still be the rare spawn, trick or treat can be challenging for low level characters, plus the grind of getting the three costume badges, the Halloween tip mission needs to be done multiple times but can be ghosted. The main thing is the banner event. With enough people you could get all badges in one event but willlikely have to wait for a couple of the events to get them. Then there is Dr Kane's mansion.
Halloween has the most badges of the events as I recall.

I'm sure many current badge collectors wouldn't be so happy with this one.
I do like all the fantasized badges so far.
Well if the badge were introduced now, the caveat would only start at time of badge activation. So badge collectors would have to stay their alignment and do the morality missions to reaffirm their alignment, then the badge dings and they can alignment shift again

Finally got Cataclysmic, the 100 million dmg done badge to take me to 1515! I ran the first mission in the Incarnate Intro arc in Oro over 60 times to farm the dmg, on average getting 665k per run herding the mobs and using my staff attack PBAOE. Let me just say that I loathe and detest Requiem as he was the one mob most resistant to herding and frequently tried to run back to his starting spot!
For variety, I did some double Hami raids that we do regularly on Everlasting - they netted an average of 240k dmg per pair of runs, plus I tried out a solo +4/x8 Market Crash first mission in the tunnel which earned 442k dmg but took three times as long as the Oro mission!
Now I can relax until May... unless of course Nemesis decides to invade...
The Nemesis....yes. a fellow player and badge hunters that I am pals with stand ready on our main and casual hunters.
I am also getting my secondary and tertiary alts up to level 30, switch to build #2 and slot up a bit so they can do spring event and be ready for nemesis.

I'm way behind the true stars of this thread, but I'm on my way.
Eh, I don't think of this as a race against other players. The only badges you really need to drop everything to obtain on all badge hunters are the yearly holiday event badges. Once your alts have the event badges, resume normal game play and go seek the other badges.

This is brilliant.
9 minutes ago, CharBug said:That Is a fantastic idea! I've never made an AE mod. Guess what I'll be doing now. Thank you Nericus.
You're welcome.
I had a mission long ago in AE where I used the outdoor graveyard map with the circular crevice in the middle with a tomb atop the hill to rescue my alts, or at least as many as I could fit into the map.
They were set to flight alongside me, though their AI pathing was a bit humorous at times.
Once all were rescued a giant monster would spawn and all my alts and I would be a huge team to defeat the giant.
Fun times 🙂

Alien entity merging with you and thus you gain power sounds a lot like Ultraman.
The dwarf mode reminds me of one of hyper zoanoid team five from Guyver.
Squid being a fast but fragile aerial flyer with beam attacks reminds me of umgrman tiga in his speed/sky mode
Dwarf mode could be based on Ultraman tiga in his power mode

I'm an alt-aholic like most of us. On Paragon Chat, before the return of our favorite game, I was able to log on to multiple alts, group them up and get a screenshot for my laptop wallpaper. I know there is no way to do that on the Homecoming servers so I'm asking if anyone has any ideas short of shooting each one individually and photoshopping up something? If that is the only way, what is the easiest and most cost effective software to aid in that endeavor? Appreciate any and all advice. Thanks heroes.
Make replicas of them in the AE, set them as rescues that will follow and fight alongside you, use the biggest map that allows a lot of hostages to be saved. Free them all, group up and take a screenshot

A lev l one alt can g t the ganymede and scratch missions just walk up to them and click on them. Once both are done you can then speak to dj zero.
Have to be L30+ for the red widow mission

Well I have been able to get the badge on some alts by being awake enough after Tuesday server restart.
I enjoy the new version despite the massive bug, but I also enjoyed the classic version also as I thought it was a nice idea to fight to prevent the giant from emerging vs just fighting the Giants.
Perhaps the code used to create the adamastor spawn point in echo dark Astoria can be copied and adapted for Kings row to manually summon paladin onc every few hours?

Yes I have noticed no major changes from when the game was live
Technically, since the snaptooth badge appears to be grouped with the spring badges that the winter event is the second chance for snaptooth, but no biggie.
The only major change comes from Nul the Gull instant alignment changes so that players can solo ganymede and scratch arcs and not seek a player of opposite alignment to complete. back in the day you had to do the alignment/morality mission and with the cool down time before shifting again back then, you had to team with another person to finish these arcs
Also I have observed that the widow Maker badge only awards to the mission holder, anyone else on the team that does not have the mission also will not get it.
As to the Valentine's delivery badges being year round, I wouldn't take that for granted and recommend every work those badges now while the Valentine tips are easily obtained, rather then the redside glitch

The gist of this post is that Torchbearer and Excelsior and should be merged or at least thought about in the coming months.
The meat is I am an old CoX gamer much like yourselves and I can tell you that Solo'ing is not for me. Waiting and broadcasting for a team is tedious and loses players, while recruitment will likely not happen unless some youtube persona takes interest, we can boost available teams using simple maths.
Currently, even on the weekend, Excelsior tops out near 800 to 900 players. Some saturdays see it in the low 700s. This means basically there can only be 112, 8 man teams. or 180 effective 5 man teams.
The problem is this pool is randomly split across archetypes so you could have a tanker pool under 50 players, and honestly all this low population discourages soft support characters that cant solo easily.
Ive seen this game die once. Id rather not lose it a second time. Merging these servers would put the weekday pop back over 700, and the weekend pop towards 1100. This is game saving. Thats a player pool i can pick a team out of at any given time. Because I and i know most others love the social aspect of this game. It would be a shame to lose it due to a disjointed population.
We have the number of servers that we currently use due to all the lag crashes and overloads that occurred when the game returned.
1. Some of the excitement has faded a bit but many people still play and have fun
2. Donations are met in hours of donations being turned on.
3. All servers have their peak times and finding teams isn't that difficult
4. Perhaps the admins should encourage one server as pvp, another as the role-playing server, one as a villain themed server, and there others as the general servers.
But server merging? No, we are no where near that point at all.

Yeah, I moved a character to indom for A DAY for some pvp. When I t'fer'd my character back - someone took my name!
As soon as you transfer to another server, make an alt on the server you just transferred from with the character name so that it's still yours. Then transfer back, delete the secondary alt and rename your original alt back

It depends on character level for me. If I can do A Hero's Epic naturally while leveling, I'll go that route. If for some reason I miss it, then I'll do A Hero's Hero. Overall I slightly prefer A Hero's Hero because it is more self-contained, it affords the opportunity to get the Shrouded badge as part of the arc, and I think it's just cooler to rescue Statesman.
Yes this arc to me feels like it was meant to be an upgrade to the previous, then they kill statesman and pasted positron into it.
I like the original better.

I enjoy that the badge is also a Star trek Easter egg and that there is also a Babylon 5 Easter egg in the arc as well.

While I believe thats still the case, they aren't removing them until they come up with something to replace them with something more appropriate (which MAY just be adding an interruptable animation to it, though thats just my guess)
Best way to upgrade base teleport, pocket d teleport and solo mission transport power is to make them like the ouro portal. Open portal, click portal and zone!

Well as I understand US trademark laws, it's ten years then it's use it or lose it. Unless the owner files renewal/intent to use and pays the fees.
Once that is done, if they are not actively using the trademark the clock is still set to ten years. Some companies renew for sake of retaining the trademark, some actually use them. We shall see.
Example of a trademark issue; marvel comics circa 1967 obtained the captain marvel trademarks and made their own character. DC owns Shazam, the original captain marvel but cannot publish anything titled captain marvel but can call him that in the books. However they just now call him Shazam

What do you think is the value of the City Of Heroes IP if another company wanted to acquire it, considering it is a legacy IP abandoned by a company? 10s of thousands, 100s of thousands, millions? I have a very close friend whose an avid gamer who may soon come into a substantial amount of money.
They won't sell, it has been tried at least two times to purchase and ncsoft allegedly/likely strung out the talks and then said no sale.
The game was making profit, but in Asia the game wasn't loved as much as it is here so they killed the golden goose despite the fact the eggs were still gold.
They won't admit they screwed up and alienated many gamers.
Plus the code is out there for people to o absorb, preserve and launch their own servers and is a bit of a coders nightmare, would the value should be low..
But they won't sell.

If you are confused about the tip not appearing, you are probably looking for it before leaving the ouroboros arc. Call Zev Scalamore or quit the arc and it should appear.
So right now can the tip missions be done blueside? Or is it just redside?
-
For 2020
1. Keep playing CoH
2. Ncsoft talks conclude, we get their blessing, they take a flying leap.
3. Play more CoH

There is also a single contaminated that spawns in the train station in Recluse's Victory.
Yeah they still have that, but that is the pre Ouroborus method. Just repeat the ouro arc.
What kinds of badges would you like to see added?

That is indeed a problem, paragonwiki as I recall was mostly complete with up to ish 23 data in it and some of the i24 pre shutdown info added at least in part.
It would be better just to make a wiki that documents all the post shut down changes and perhaps expand upon the i24 mission and badge data from paragon wiki
