What is "soak up the alpha?"

Yay! So does this mean we'll get the "Slave Leia" outfit? Lol! Edit: Opening the Patch Notes thread is like opening a Christmas present! Lol!

Please note: The Homecoming server is down today, so any geographic information I put here related to the game is subject to faulty memory! I'll edit it when I get a chance. I usually power-level to 50 'cuz I like having all content available asap. Then I Flashback everything to get the Ouro badges. How does that apply to Safeguard missions? It means that I'm unfamiliar with them outside of Peregrine Island. I only went back and played the lower level ones long enough to get the exploration badges. Wait... HOW did I explore the lower level Safeguard missions while I was level 50?!?!?!?! I did something I learned about recently: I got the Villain Disrupter badge from the PI bank heist/breakout missions and then visited Agent Hassel in Steel Canyon. He's probably marked on your map, but just in case: he's 100 yards east of the Platinum Lake marker. He's standing next to a police van in a parking lot. If you click on him and he only has the option to "Ask about available missions" instead of showing you the full list, just close the window and click him again. Villain Disrupter badge: https://n15g.github.io/badger/homecoming/badge/villain-disruptor So anyway, the Paragon wiki states that you can "farm" the Safeguard missions but I don't have enough stealth to get it to work. https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Safeguard_Mission 1) The notification for "The bank is being robbed!" doesn't appear until you get near the entrance to the bank. 2) When you get the notification "Vandals are causing mayhem!" you can ignore the red flashing star where the vandals are located. Instead, go look for the two enemies nearby who provide a "key" to unlock your next side mission. The two villains' dialogue and carried items will indicate the type of side mission they unlock. For instance, they'll have barrels and be talking about blowing something up for the bomb mission, etc. The location of these two enemies is consistent, but different for each side mission. 3) Despite my advice to "ignore" the red flashing star, you should understand that bonus time is awarded for defeating the vandals. 4) In the PI missions, the main enemy that you're fighting is Carnival of Shadows. Malta is involved too (and plenty of Sappers) but defeating them doesn't award any extra time. Well, except for the trouble you save yourself by defeating them. 5) After about 4 or 5 side missions, I can never find the two enemies who provide the key to the next side mission. It's like there's a cap on how many you're allowed to do. Mayhem Mission notes: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/16909-mayhem-missions/

Seconded! For my first 50, I didn't even try to start crafting Incarnate powers until I was vet level 20. Which turned out to be really nice for me 'cuz by the time I was ready to start, everything had long since been unlocked!

What?! I rezzed a necro thread while looking for something else?! Here's one site link that organizes a list of ALL of the important missions in the game. Unfortunately, it's out of date so a surprising amount of new stuff is missing. https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Badges

In the 3rd mission of the arc "My Choice," where do I find Rothstein? I couldn't find him in the last room, and went to check the Paragon wiki. When I came back to the game, the "Rescue Rothstein (optional)" objective had disappeared. I assume there's a hidden timer, due to the gas gradually affecting everyone. There's no badges or any serious rewards for this. I just want to do the right thing by killing everyone and then rescuing the guy who wants to die!

I'm sure the only real consequence that would occur would be that Homecoming would lose their legitimacy.

Hi! Congratulations on reaching 50! You already have some great links, but lemme give ya some more!

I'm using Flashback for most everything. In the Nova Power arc part 3 "Rise to Power" (level 10-14)... Wait! I found it! In the "Rise to Power" story arc from contact Reese, in Part 3 "A Spectacle for the Crowd" after defeating the final enemy, Praetor Duncan calls me a man!?

I found my Dark Astoria contact! It was Praetor Duncan, 'cuz I hadn't yet reached Dream Doctor!? Just a clarification: the FIRST mission Dream Doctor gives you that references Dilemma Diablique should not be auto-completed. It's a "prequel" to DD.

There are two levels upstairs from Mr. Y. As soon as you defeat him, the 5 min timer starts. As you approach the elevator he's standing near, you'll see the emergency stairway on the left. This gets you to the first level. To get to the second level, there's another emergency stairway next to the elevator to the west (?) There are approx 6 police officers to save on the first floor and the rest are on the 2nd. They're all laying on the floor so they're hard to see in the smoke and flames. If you have the targetting macro, it makes them easier to find. I had a problem with the mission ending too quickly too but I figured out what happened. You only have to lead Harken to the entrance of the zone that you find him in. I kept trying to take him all the way out and kept ending the mission before we could get the badge!? Use this target macro to find the victims quickly: /macro Find, "targetname Injured"

Last night during a Lady Grey Task Force run, someone mentioned that they'd like to see more Hami badges. And I realized she was right!

A few notes on River Rat. 1) Swimming is involved. My impression was that the first badge you encounter upon entering the water is granted, but after that you have to stay in the water to pick up the other badges. Exiting the water and reentering the water at the next badge won't work. 2) I used my Flight power to speed up my movement rate in the water. 3) The badges are uniquely numbered. This makes it easier to keep track of which badges you have if you're careful. 4) it's best to get all 19 in a single sitting so that you don't lose track of which ones you have. 5) The badges located near a border will be harder to obtain because you have to hit it on the correct side of the border. If you're all over it but not getting it, try crossing the border. 6) There is no notification for obtaining the badges. There is a counter in your Exploration that increments when you obtain one, but the only notification you'll receive is when you finally get the River Rat badge.

Necro thread? My first guess would be that you simply didn't get the notifications for receiving the badge(s).

My PB has an AoE attack which is *excellent* for Hellion golf! It's been a while, but I believe the "Solar Flare" power is good for it!

OIC. So when I was being shown how to farm the damage, there must have been some sort of team buffs that allowed me to rest in the lava!

Is Positron reading my badges? This is the "Power Overwhelming" arc in Flashback (level 50) from Mendor Ramiel. This toon is my main badger so, yes. This is all true. "(Character Name) it is... good to see you. You have been through a lot, haven't you? Serving Recluse... striking him down. We are still wary of you in the Phalanx, due to your actions against us. But, you have earned our respect for taking the fight to Recluse's door. What is it that you want from me today?" Don't get me wrong... I *LOVE* this sort of thing!!!!!!! I absolutely *WANT* NPCs to react to me differently based upon different conditions (whatever those conditions may be!) Reading my badges is a *neat* way to increase storytelling!

In Mercy Island, there is often a large, STATIONARY group of Arachnos soldiers in the area next to the P2W agent. 1) Enter any level 50 mission in Ouro's Flashback (this will allow you to afk without getting kicked off.) 2) Go to Mercy Island (change to Vigilante if you want to stay blue.) 3) Go to the P2W agent. 4) Find the large group of Arachnos soldiers marching in place nearby and position yourself accordingly. 5) Put Destiny on auto-fire and go to bed! I just got the Empath badge for my *BLASTER* today?!?!

Someone told me that the last mission in the Maria Jenkins arc (the one where you *finally* get to rescue Positron) offered a good place to "lava soak." They showed me when I was tipsy and they had me get in a Rest position and then slide into the pool. I did and took 92 dam/t. I'm not sure about the time (t) but it looked like "twice per second." Anyway, today I tried to do the same thing sober and every time I got in the lava it broke my Rest position. Somehow this meant that I only took 14 dam/t. Can someone help me get this to work right? Edit: is there a more convenient lava pool located somewhere?

I've only been a couple of times, but so far my rate has been 0 - 1 spawns of marching Arachnos. Sigh... :-( Being very much an "afk farmer," I went to Atlas Park and auto-Destiny'd next to Ms. Liberty. Probably slower, but I was able to afk. I suppose the AE building in Atlas or Pocket D would also work. Edit: Thanks, Rooster Gold! Edit: Yay! I'm *well* on my way with afk! Lol! Edit: WOW! After the earning the first badge, you're at least halfway (or more) to the next badge when you earn a badge for healing!?

I don't have him in my contact list at all. I'm not sure he ever was...? I've done everything through Flashback.

I was told to do the last mission for Dream Doctor in DA and then he gives you the Dilemma Diabolique trial and afterwards you call him back for the badge. Or something like that. So the last mission for Dream Doctor (in Flashback) is "Dream Doctor's Personal Story." I've ran this twice and nothing. Then I did his last *story arc* in Flashback called "The Choice of Hope." Still nothing. Does anyone have any effective ideas? I've already completed everything in Dark Astoria and I have the Master of Dilemma Diabolique badge. Would this interfere with me getting Bailout Hero?

Oh, no! I've missed *so much!* Week 10: Base Items Seconded! All of it! Yay! Week 11: Frankentype Suggestions Whoops! I'll leave that to the experts! Yay! Week 12: Costume and Character Creation Ideas Yay! Yay! Yay! And more "yay!" I'd also like to add another suggestion (preferably with "ragged" and "clean" variants!) https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/File:TalonsOfVengeance_OracleFire.png https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/File:TalonsOfVengeance_SorceressSerene.png Do we have this? https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/File:TalonsOfVengeance_Gorgon.png Week 13: AE Ideas Yay! (whew! getting out of breath! lol!) Week 15: Under powered ATs Experts, please! Lol! Week 16: Future Events Meh. I have enough inf! And the GMs work hard enough, already! Let them play, too! Week 17-19: Various ATs More experts, please! :-) Week 20: Controllers Confusion exp loss is irrelevant with exp booster. Or even without it, tbh. If you've ever stealthed a mission, don't complain about exp. Confusion is simple for those who use it. And for those who don't, just think of it as a "Hold" spell with AoE damage. Plus, Confusing the *correct* enemy will benefit you even more! Try Confusing the enemy healer the next time you use it and witness the *true* POWER OF CONFUSION! MWUA-HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! (Ahem!) Week 21: Blasters Yay! Lol! Week 22: Stalkers Yay! I have a Stalker! Savage Melee/Ninjitsu! Is that a good combo? Week 25: Holiday Events Hami Bloom in Spring Event?! Lolololol! Perfect! Wedding "event?" Like a tf/sf? Maybe with... BADGES...? What about a "divorce event?" So that they can get married every year, storywise? Lol! Week 27: Sentinels Meh. Week 28: Dayjobs Temp Pet (Liberty Mutual Insurance Salesperson): Emu (+Speed, -Auction Fees) Week 29-33: Various ATs Leaving it to the experts! Illusion Control on the Dominator sounds very interesting, though! Week 35: PvP I saw "more badges!" Yay! Week 36: Arachnos Widow Yay! I have an Arachnos Widow! With zero exp!? I can't wait to play her! Can we have the Arachnos costume pieces unlocked so that we can "widowize" any costume? And buttcapes for men! Yay! Week 37: Epic Power Pools Interesting reading! Week 38: Brutes Suggestion for new AT: Farmer! Lol! Week 39: Incarnate Powers I agree with EVERYTHING in the "Overall." I probably agree with most of the rest, too but my mind is already overloaded! Lol! I want to add a request to allow players to "turn off" Incarnate exp for those who don't wish to participate in Incarnate abilities (usually the "story" players, but others like to do it too for the challenge.) Whoops! That's the end!?

Yay! Can you guys post a video conference of GMs discussing future plans? Or anything, really. I would just *love* to hear you guys "talk shop" about CoX!!!!! Thanks, guys!

I am looking for this badge. Where do I find "all missions of the Dream Doctor?" Do I have to be the league leader of Dilemma Diabolique to get the badge? How does this work, exactly? What if I fail the Dilemma Diabolique Trial? Was this confirmed?
