Marine X

After completing Number 6's Arc and doing the first mission from Belladonna Vertrano I am now here: seems to be continuing....

Had done all the RWZ content leading up to Number 6's Arc, to be at 11% it must have been gaining XP for some time.

Only just hit vet level 5, and no Magisterium. Just ran Number 6's Arc, completed it and noticed the Hybrid Slot had progress on it, weird.

Don't recall ever seeing Hybrid gaining xp before judgement and interface, lore and destiny were unlocked, didn't see this in patch notes either.

For me the Inspiration Tray Bug seems to happen almost exclusively with content that was added around when Going Rogue was launched. I can't recall ever seeing it on older missions. and see it on almost anything newer. Could just be my selective memory.

Considering some of the other COH servers have Instant 50s and Free Influence by a slash command, it would be pretty hard to sell people anything there. On HC I have seen a few ads for services in chat but don't really believe too many people are going to pay for things which are pretty easy to get to begin with. Power Leveling is available at almost any AE at any time, can't really think of anything that's worth paying someone for.

Do you have the GeForce Experience active? Have heard that can cause all sorts of Mayhem and that if you just use the NVIDIA card driver the game will run more smoothly.

Hadn't considered that, just assumed that the initial mob size had been increased, mission used to have a small group guarding each portal, now it's a much larger mob and mostly LT or above, and they continue to arrive. Has anyone checked to see if the outdoor portals are the same? I didn't get that far.

Same thing, something is broken, since I heard about this bug set diff to +0x1, no help, still huge mobs of bosses and Lt.s and they begin spawning as soon as you attack the first portal. Without UI hard to tell but those are mostly Soldiers, Headmen and Mentalists with some guardians, there are conscripts and monkeys but way more big guys. Hopefully this silliness wasn't intentional, lol. Just had to bail on this one.

That got me Portal Jockey, think I'll go ahead and finish the arc for Statesman's Pal, thanks for the info folks.

But will that count towards Portal Jockey? saw it in Mission list but not in badge requirements. Worth a try though, thanks.

Was working on my Indomitable Tanker " Gnarge " ( Gnarly + Large ), running Maria Jenkins Arc for Portal Jockey and finally got to the Siege Mission. Was running the mission at +3 x 2, he couldn't really cause me any real harm but every time I got him to a little sliver of health he would Heal to Half Health, rinse/repeat, rinse/repeat, rinse/repeat, rinse/repeat, frustrated I exited the mission. Instead of using my brain, and lowering the difficulty, or buying a Signature Summon to allow me to finish the mission, I Auto-Completed it, groan, I forgot that on Badge missions that's a No-No. Went to the Pillar in my base and re-ran the arc, but it ends before Siege, groan, groan.... I haven't done the next mission from Maria Jenkins in the normal contact process. Is there any way to back me up so I can redo Siege? Probably not but I didn't think it would hurt to ask, groan, 2004 Veteran makes a newbie mistake.

I would start with the basics: Reboot your ISP and router: COH is different than newer games and may have issues when others do not, since you are having issues and not everyone is, best to look at home. Run /netgraph 1: This will show if the issue is with your connection to the server, if you see a bunch of red bars something is up and you are losing connectivity. Wired or Wireless? If on WiFi, try switching to a wired connection, this will get you the best possible speed and bandwidth, and eliminate environmental interference. Which Shard are you on? If on any of the NA Shards try Reunion, if on Reunion, try Indomitable or Torchbearer, the least populated NA Shards. What is your Computer? Any specs you can give us may be helpful, there are things that can be done to improve performance such as enlarging the Virtual Memory.

Nothing Earth shattering or Soul Crushing, just thought I would Document it. If in Super Group Mode, with SG Colors Displaying on Character Normally, sometimes, if you pull up the Manage Enhancement screen, then close it, your costume will display its non SG colors, exiting SG Mode, then reentering SG Mode will correct it, just a weird little bug. That is all.

Might be a longshot but are you using 2 monitors? Have heard of an issue like this if you are trying to display the game on the 2nd monitor, the software update may have changed this. May be worth a try.

I believe you can only be awarded the temp power once, however any badges that are different can be earned. Just for clarity, it awards 2 Hours of USE, so if you only use it for tough situations it can last well past level 50, still have time left on it on a lot of characters.

It does, which would explain issues with the portal spawns reported for the Serpent Drummer defend Portal Corp mission, what it doesn't explain is the sheer number spawning and that all portals seem to start spawning villains as soon as the first portal is attacked. We got problems folks... Photo Courtesy of @Sechs

They appear to be amassing some troops...

The Software is here... OuroDev Also since your machine is older you may look at upgrades. I just bought a Dell Laptop with a discreet NiVidia video card, Core i7 processor, and 500GB HD for $89.99. I upgraded it from 4GB of Ram to 16Gb for a whopping $24.00 including shipping. Major upgrades on older gear can be really inexpensive and make a huge difference, memory is one of biggest factors. If you don't want to buy memory, just enlarge the paging file ( virtual memory ) using vacant Harddrive space, it's in control panel under performance usually.

I believe your 1st costume slot on Soldiers Of Arachnos ( VEAT ) will always have the Backpack ( actually called slot 0 ), your additional slots can be fully customized at any Tailor ( Icon, Trainers, Base NPC ).

I've been know for doing that verses Giant Monsters/ Arch Villains, I'll get behind them and taunt to keep them facing away from the team, that way cones and AoEs are mostly coming my way, not the teams. It's difficult if there is a scrapper, brute or another tank pulling aggro, hence the need to occasionally Taunt, but if you can keep the enemies attention, it makes everything easier.

Nope, not always. As a Tank it is sometimes necessary to pull a Foe off of a teammate or teammates who are being attacked outside Melee, it is part of the job. That's what the Taunt Power is for, and I enhance for range and duration. In general people don't believe they need an aggro magnet in this game anymore, until they do, lol. In a situation where the enemy has Taunt/Confuse Components you just have to verify your targets constantly. I remember a sad lesson on a team in Warburg on Live....

Right after the servers crashed this mornng I paid my first visit in years to Paragon Chat, suprised me it still works, wandered around and played with emotes.

Was able to get on at about 5:00am EST but only a few minutes then Mapserved and now they are all down, ouch.

Have you got "Cell Shading / Experimental Graphics" enabled? I have heard of it causing some odd graphics bugs from more than a few players. Just disable it and apply the change and see what happens.
