Marine X

Went to P2W and got Reveal Power.The Vidiots maps overlay lists 8 badges for the Zone. Paragon Wiki shows only the first four, went to locations for 5-8 and was unable to claim any of them or find a badge marker at the locations marked.

Have there been any new badges added, in addition to the original 4. I got all of them except the one on the Casino. But the VM overlay showed what looked like a Badge Marker along the shore and one in the Cemetery east of the existing Ghoulish badge. I zoomed in on the map and they seemed to be badge Icons but found nothing there after a lot of missing HP. Got my Shivan Shard and the Gunner Badge, easier than I remember, Especially taking out the turrets to access the computer. Did it on the first try. Nice to have that one for tough missions.

This is what I see when I go to Brickstown, all other zones seem fine and up to date. Have re-downloaded twice and replaced the files, weird.

I just had a weird thought, the "Echo" zones have Mobs and NPC in them, at least I think so from when I was Badge hunting. So what would happen if you rolled a new toon and then went to the Initial Contact for your Origin in Echo: Galaxy City? I actually started a few there when I first started playing ( Issue 1.5 ) and recall the missions were completely different from say 1 - 5.

I have also noticed that some of the finishes and textures look dramatically different depending on your graphics settings. When I set up my wife's PC to play on Homecoming and logged into my characters. Holy Cr*p, I look like Cr*p. The proportions were wrong etc, and costume pieces all looked wrong, changed all the settings to Ultra and resolution to 1920 x 1200 and there I was! BTW/ My historical request has always been the Same, I want dog tags for Marine, and they should move, Thank You.

Been there done that, recently. I made a costume for Bubba Burns, son of Enos and Ophelia Burns, my Radiation Melee/Fiery Aura Brute who is a bit of a non-metro male Hillbilly and already featured aspects from the Monstrous Fur costume overlays, not the costume pieces, so I could have him shock my SG Mates when they find him swimming naked in the Cement Pond in the base. I may post redacted photos later.

Agreed that it was always present in CoX, but it was much more of a minority. Paying for Power Leveling was considered under the EULA a violation and could get you banned from the game. There were Player run farms, usually a Freakshow or Family mission that they would clear everything but the boss or a glowie and then restart. Then we had AE, It wasn't created for farming but you have to know they knew some would use it for that, but without an outside entity profiting from it. But Today is different, we have a mix of Veterans who wanted the game back for years and new players experiencing it for the first time. I have always thought this game was something special, and guess I would like the new players to get to see the parts of the game I thought made it cool. The "Looking for Group" channel is packed constantly with requests for Death from Below and Drowning in Blood. The Help channel is full of people asking questions about really basic parts of the game. Keeping both the NEW and OLD players happy is the only way this new version of CoX is going Survive, we need enough people to make it financially viable as a community and donation supported enterprise. Let's play well, TOGETHER...

Electricity for Lighting and Technology, Natural Gas for Heating, Water Heating and Cooking.

A C Volt Electric/Electric Tank " After a long night of Whiskey and Beer at the Wet Spot Bar and Grill, Alan Carson Vohltman decides to head home. As he stumbles toward home along the roadway, nature calls. He walks off into the woods, to a cliff and unzips to relieve himself.....directly onto the Electrical Substation in the valley below. After recovering from this shocking revelation he realizes he has an extremely strong stream and that the charge has activated his latent mutant ability to store and direct electricity. So, sobered by the experience, he heads off to Paragon City, where his newfound abilities are sorely needed."

On the Knock back discussion, it isn't, in some cases, just inconvenient. A lot of Tanks defense is based on the number of opponents in melee range, if they keep getting pushed away, the defense drops, sometimes tragically if you are dealing with Enemies who have ranged attacks and are still Taunted ( They Hate your Guts ) but out of melee range. You can manage this by working, if you can, use the Knock back to push them toward the Tank instead of out of melee. A Blaster called El Jugador ( Player in Spanish ) from our Supergroup on Virtue was energy blast. He would send them flying into walls, trees, cars, mailboxes, shelving, Jay Leno, crates, stairwells, platypuses, KFC, other enemies....anything really, as long as it was near me. This was an extra bit of work on his part, but very appreciated.

Seems to fit the theme....Save Me by Remy Zero

Yeah, what he said.......mostly. America is amazingly hated unconditionally worldwide despite the ENORMOUS amount of money and resources that the US Private Sector and Corporations donate to humanitarian causes. Just not feeling the love. The COX Community has always made me feel welcome despite their distaste for my countries policies, and still does. Guess we just need to kick back, Open a Cold Brew ( Unless you prefer a room temperature Stout ) and Celebrate the fact that we are back here, Playing the game we missed and loved and are wanting to modify to service our personal pet peeves and wish lists, while recounting the story of how we took down 3 AVs at the same time, at level 18, SOLO, with no Enhancements or Inspirations with a Pet less Mastermind. Anyway, the Main Server is on Canadian Soil, Reunion in Germany, so let's just Celebrate "Canada Day" ( July 1st ) and "Tag der Deutschen Einheit" ( October 3rd ) and be done with it. I'm still having a 4 day weekend ( July 4th - 7th ) and I'm going to enjoy it as much as I can, and a good chunk of time will be in game getting Marine to 50. I may redo his costume RED, WHITE & BLUE though, just so the people on Reunion know I'm a stupid American, from the people I've played with so far, they'll be fine with it.

I am American, Myself and my Super group members are all from Ohio, USA playing on Reunion, EU. I guess the thing mostly overlooked in this is the issue of the amount of people with free time around 7/4/19. 1) There are a lot of American Players on the Homecoming Servers. 2) Independence Day is a paid day off for a lot of Americans. 3) Independence Day falls on a Thursday, which means a LOT of people will end up taking Friday Off work. 4) Independence Day is suddenly a FOUR Day weekend for a bunch us. 5) I Detect a lot of Task Forces, Strike Forces, Hami Raids, and the like suddenly in pre-planning. 6) I think This Year it will be a good time whether we Specifically choose to Celebrate it or not. 7) Never recall it being an Event Holiday on Live, so why do so now.

I think not understanding the Original Difficulty settings. When you went to the NPC to Change it, it said something like " the People of Paragon City see you to be _________" , the choices were Heroic, Tenacious, .....Invincible. I thought Invincible sounded great so I selected it not realizing it changed the difficulty of my missions. This is when debt started at level 5, it was a long slog to 10, lol.

The game itself was just not a good fit for me. Being that Cryptic Studios developed it I assumed it would be something I would really enjoy. I started Playing when both games were live. It could just be all the whacks to the head I've taken but I did not find it to be an easy transition. The UI was one of the things that gave me fits because among other things the Map did not show where anything was ( copter to Canadian Wilderness etc ) and it required you to just remember how to get there, this ended with me often lost and running into mobs that ended my existence for annoying them. Did not like the very limited amount of instanced missions, almost everything was on the normal zone map with a circle or such indicating the valid hunt area or whatever. People could run thru your hunt and aggro everything then fly off leaving you a to deal with it. Even had a guy grief me because he wanted to "Duel" and I declined because even though I was on the open Desert Map, I was trying to complete a mission. He eventually figured out what I was hunting and hovered overhead spamming "Duel Me" and sniping the kills I needed. As far as teaming, never really did much. I got Teamed early on when I needed, but people just didn't seem interested and I never, ever got a "hey would you like to join our team" or Blind Invite. What's the Point of Playing a MMO if you ONLY Solo, for me it was not what I thought it would be. Have enjoyed Star Trek Online, Black Desert and of course Paragon Chat ( hats off to Codewalker and his team ) for the last couple Years. I know there are lots of good people playing CO too, some are former CoX People, Unfortunately they weren't the ones I ran into. And now COX is back, I'm comfortable, I can team, I can do door missions, Lots of content, and a great community.
