    Which category is it in? Defeats? Gladiators?

    Not sure!?  It didn't occur to me to check that!  I'll get a screenshot when I get home and post it!

    Common question regarding number of badges:

    • One valentines badge is just a second chance at Snaptooth. He was previously available during the Winter Event.
      • Toothbreaker

     

    Toothbreaker is FAR easier to obtain during the Spring Event:

    1) Enter the mission and find the mission objective.

    2) Wait for Snaptooth and minions to come to you.

    In the Invention System Tutorial (redside) the contact Charles Ball uses an inconsistent term.

     

    "Recipes have different Rarities as shown by the color of their name. Common are White, Uncommon are Yellow, Rare are Orange, and Ultra Rare are Purple"

    The badge is obtained by completing the arc Time After Time.  I checked the Ouro crystal (redside) and found it in the level 50 list!  Neat!  I didn't know the Patron arcs were in there, too!  I'll definitely try that!  Thanks!

    My rendition of the "evil alternate" was largely creative license:

     

    1) Different hairdo

    2) Goggles down

    3) Different shoulder pads color

    4) Cape different color

    5) Different brooch color

    6) Different gloves

    7) Different belt and color

    8. Different boots (I *love* the white boots!)

     

    I did the same arc with some of my other costumes, too.  I'm sure I'll run other toons, too!?  And there be badges, too!

    Alignment

    in Suggestions & Feedback

    Posted

    When I first heard the arguments about "fixing" the alignment "issues" I largely ignored them because I was still new to the game and still learning.

     

    Now that I've played toons across the alignment spectrum, I think it's ok for me to make my own observations.

     

    I think it's been mentioned that on Live, alignment was a tool to enforce an obsolete marketing strategy.  However, I don't believe a "total overhaul" is necessary at all.

     

    1) Geographic restrictions

    Even before I had a better understanding of alignment I've always agreed that the geographic restrictions on alignment should be removed.  If only for role-playing.  As a hero, the Rogue Isles are EXACTLY the place I'm needed.  And vice-versa.  As a villain, Paragon City is the place to go for the best heists.

     

    2) Team restrictions

    I see no need to change this.  To me, this correctly simulates the role-playing of enemies.

     

    3) Contact restrictions

    Just because a hero is able to TRAVEL to the Rogue Isles doesn't mean they can just talk to anyone.   Arbiter Rein is just going to tell them to get lost (if they're lucky) when some do-gooder hero tries to learn Mu Mastery.  So I see no need to change this either.

     

    4) Etc.  Did I miss anything?

    I was doing the Shining Stars mission "Big Leagues" and was contacting Proton on the Security Intercom.  On the very last page of the dialogue where Proton says "One last thing," the last sentence in the first paragraph has a word "cause" which should be spelled "caused."

     

    Augh!  The word is *not* misspelled!  But it is!  But it's not!  But it is!?!?  AUUGHHH!  How do I define it?!?!?!?!

     

    Oh, wait!  "Typo!"  It's a typo!

     

    Yay!

    How do you get missing costume pieces?

    in General Discussion

    Welcome back!  Yay!

     

    As far as the costume pieces, I've heard that all (or very nearly all) of the costume pieces that are available to players are unlocked for everyone at toon creation.  I don't know what "very nearly all" would mean, though.

     

    Have you tried Incarnates, yet?  Of course, not!  Wait until you start getting into THOSE!??  WOW!!!

    I can play City of Heroes blindfolded. With my forehead.

    While I do see the number of people playing Excalibur declining (I haven't seen a "red" server status bar in a few months,) I suspect it's because people are migrating to other servers.  During the time frame when the Excalibur server stopped showing red, the other servers have started showing a yellow server status.

     

    I've seen players come and go since I started playing, but I haven't necessarily seen a real "decline" in the overall number.  I make new friends all the time!?

     

    But to my point: if anyone remembers the BBS game "Tradewars 2002" from back in the day (mid-to-late 80s,) you might be surprised to hear that it *still* has a dedicated community of old-timers.  Sure, it's painfully small.  But the fact that it still exists reassures me that CoH isn't about to "die" anytime soon (at least 30 years, if TW:2002 is any indication.)

     

    So any arguments that say "do this or we're all gonna die" basically translates to "the sky is falling!"
