Was trying again, unsuccessfully, to get a good Zombie group going, and got an invite to team. I figured someone saw my "building a Zombie Mob" text in LFG. I join team and it was a level 32 Player doing the Mender Lazarus Task Force who had already done the first mission but needed help. Not sure how he could invite me after he started it but OK, I'll help out. We go to Oroborous and enter mission, we're doing well till he keeps wandering off, he finally finds Nosferatu and dies while I am taking Nos down from Fire from soldiers behind him. We move on to the recruit Burkholder mission and he runs off, finds and gets killed by Burkholder. I defeat Burkholder and give him an awaken and we exit. We enter the finale mission and he Stays pretty close by and after Hooking up with Nos and Burkholder we enter the final area with the main objectives: ( I'm exem to 32 by the way, and everything is purple or red, so he must have been at +4 ). Take down the 5th Column Defeat Requiem Defeat Maestro Defeat Vandal 115 5th Column to Defeat I start on the troops at one corner of the room and in groups Taunt them over and take them out. I notice he is still up on the overlook with Nos and Burk but continue on till the floor is cleared with no help from the player or the Pets. I look up and he has a quitting timer above his head. Not sure what to do, but all that was left was the bosses. I gather the pets and assault the EBs and then there is a spawn of support troops. Finally finish them all off and exit to mission. Will he get the Mission/TF rewards? I hope so. I waited and checked, he was offline or hidden. He added me as a Global Friend at the beginning of the first mission so I'll be able to contact him eventually, but what do you do? He was either young, inexperienced, foreign ( I'm on Reunion ) and didn't understand the missions. Or was just using me to get the missions done? I have no problem with that but, geez at least hang around and help finish the mission. I like helping out when I can but don't always get the best results. What would you do?

What's worse are ones that can't rescue themselves, then act like they are Unbeatable, Three names sum it up: Fusionette Waylon McCrane Doc Delilah

Aah, that makes sense, the Nemesis Staff and Blackwand were Vet Rewards, the Croatoa Stuff were earned in game. All coming back now, good catch.

I get up early and play before work for a while every morning, when it's time to go, it's time to go. Keeps me from devolving into sitting in the dark in my underwear sucking Mountain Dew half buried in a pile of empty Dorito's Bags and......sorry....little too much.

Considering I was 40 when the game launched in 2004 I'm with you on this.

That is Hilarious.

Hands down the best COH Video from back in the Day, Amazed at the amount of work that must have went into that.

deep breath, hold it, breathe out slowly, foooooh....ok. 1) As much as I use the /ah almost every day, I was thinking myself it was detracting from the experience a bit. Having to actually go to Wentworth's to Deal with Salvage and recipes was a part of the Reality the game is set in, and I like trying to play the game on it's terms, and immerse myself in it. Some " make it easier " things are just very tempting. 2) Gimmees and all that. It's the purpose of these forums to allow us to discuss City of Heroes and Homecoming. If you want a change, or want a change undone, This IS where you can discuss it. We've been asking for some things for Years, ( fingers for example ) including during the Original run of the game, that never got taken care of when there was a full paid staff working on the game. I don't think you're going to be getting those changes now, even with a Team of Amazing Volunteers we have. But, It doesn't hurt to ask. 3) There's a lot of Game here no one ever plays, there are a lot of badges most people never get, there are Accolades tons of people never get, and places few people go, but that's their choice. Anyone can play this however they want. If you don't want to use new features, good for you , I may even join you, but I don't think we need to undo them, too many people on the other side of the opinion. Perhaps just hearing your reasoning may cause some people to also join you. Good Luck

I was actually thinking it would be hilarious if a Villain won, but not surprising. The whole idea is just a role play / Forum game thing for the Most part, but would be a source of some activities here and there. Maybe I should see if Mender Silos wants to run, or Recluse, he has experience managing a large staff, hmmm...

This is what I have and I LOVE this thing, no longer available directly from Dell but is available thru Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Q3G3B67/ref=psdc_13896597011_t1_B078e SF9Z1X Dollar for Dollar it's a hard deal to beat for a gaming oriented PC without going deep into debt. I can run at full Ultra even in Heavily Populated areas. Mine only came with 8GB of ram so I ordered 8GB more when I bought it. Custom Builds are great but this thing is not much more than a regular desktop. ( mine also came with a DVD Drive which I use to watch movies some times, this one doesn't have an optical drive )

Nothing wrong with that Logic, if you like having teeth of course, lol

I think I'm going to go ahead and make the Mayor's Office Bases now and get them up and running as it may take a bit. Like I said they will include TP, crafting and an Auto-Doc. I think I may also include an Icon Branch Office for Private Make-overs and a City Pool. Once up and running I will post the access codes in each shards Forum and in the roleplaying forum..

The lore mentions previous Mayors of Paragon City. I think we should have a Character for Mayor Election where players create a Character to be a Mayoral Candidate, Run a Campaign in game and in forums, and then post a ballot and hold an Election ( Poll ) to determine the new Mayor, this could be an annual Event. Was thinking we could also make this a complete reality if they actually served at community functions and had a Mayoral Office, ( a base with all amenities with a Public Access code with T.P. to all zones, Crafting, Auto-Doc, etc. for use by players who have no base access. There would have to be a winner for each Shard so that the base access Portion would be functional. Any thoughts? Smart Remarks? Nemesis Rhymes?

Updates that would probably be relatively easy would be billboards with more contemporary fictional Tech products and services. Also if any kind of deal could be reached with NCSoft, some real life products on billboards would make it seem more realistic and could provide an additional source of operating revenue for the non-profit. Some more urban renewal, parts of say Boomtown and maybe some more progress in Faultline. I think it would be cool to add an airport but that would require a bunch of coding. Could we have a few kids please, otherwise it seems more like the City of Clones if everyone here are adults, which makes me wonder about Penelope Yin.

She probably needs a break. She's the COH version of Barney Fife, just swimming around with her 1 hit point in her front pocket and WHAM!

Great Solution, it may also solve some others. The Zombie Apocalypse Boss and Elite Boss Badges are eluding me due to it running in Multiple Zones at the same time. It's making it hard to get the Huge Zombie Spawn necessary to get the Bosses and Elite Bosses to Spawn. I keep trying to get it going on Zombie Hill next to the Train Station on Talos Island, because that was always where I remember doing it on Live, and it's easy for almost anyone any level to get there. Just can't get it cranked up with it running in 8 zones at the same time, and I play at an odd time, between 4:00am GMT+5 ( EST ) to 6:00am daily before work. Want those badges dammit, have all the rest of them.

Just a walk on the Cool Eve he sought, now you can guess what he has caught, off to the Doctor to get the right shot, a Cure for the Cascading Nemesis Snot.

These posts seem to have taken a great deal of thought, So I'm sure they aren't being generated by a Nemesis Bot.

Still seeing a lot of new people here and in the help channel that are true first time players, and that is good to see. Think we lost some people over the Policy changes but I'm not surprised. Seems people don't like being told there are going to be rules even on a rogue server. It'll all work out.

Once again had to manually update, had to drag and drop a couple of the updated ones into the folder, but now working fine. Am running 64 bit. Man the underground ones in Warburg are a bit of a Death Wish, lol, haven't seen that much purple since last time I watched Purple Rain.

I usually don't add more than 3 slots to any of the Leadership Powers, and usually just use the Workbench IOs, a Reduce Endurance and whatever is appropriate for the Power as I've found them to be endurance hogs. I suppose you could use them as a Mule for a set if you wanted, The more set bonuses the merrier. Luck of the Gambler comes to mind for the Team Defense power, at 3 the bonuses would be Regen +10%, Health +1.13%, if you went 4 you'd get Accuracy +9%. Not bad.

I believe this is it, I also had only 29 and got credit for 50 Costumes. I think the badge ticker counts duplicates which would track with the results. I'm sure it's all done by the RNG which is why everyone doesn't get the same costumes in the same order. I'm actually still occasionally getting ones I didn't have after reaching the 50 for the badge. Public Safety Notice: The Zombie's are not fooled or amused by Halloween Costumes, they will still eat your Brains.....Have a Nice Day!

With PVP Zones you are automatically Exemplared to the Level of the Zone for the duration of your time there. I don't think there would be a way to outlevel badges there. As a matter of fact there are new exploration badges recently added to Bloody Bay and Siren's Call. As far as Combat badges, they should all still award. Good Hunting.

Like an Intergalactic Uber Ship? I can see that. I'll have to see if there is an App for that at the Apple Store.

I wonder if you went to the Chalet if you could fly to them and become a Bug on their windshield, that'd teach them, yeah...
