Valentines Delivery Badges thread is here: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/11537-valentines-delivery-badges/ Toothbreaker is FAR easier to obtain during the Spring Event:

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!

According to the Paragon wiki, the Usurper badge is only awarded to the person who "calls it in" at the end of the last mission. In other words: only the team leader gets the badge. https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Usurper_Badge The latest information I can get about it is that this is still the way it works. Can this be fixed?

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!

And here is the original!

Here is my own version of the alternate.

This is from the arc "Twisted Reflections" at level 25-29 or so... As you can see, the computer doesn't do a bad job!

Did I mention "SPOILER WARNING!" If you're thinking of badging at level 25-29, then I suggest you come back later! Surely that's enough information to prevent you from being spoiled?

Flashback is your friend.

I would like to see ALL of the CURRENT badges ADDED to the Paragon Wiki. https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Badges Or (a better suggestion,) I would like to see a Homecoming Wiki! I will be HAPPY to help keep it updated if someone would show me how (a simple, 30-min tutorial, if that.)

When I first read the subject line of this thread, a Beatles song started playing in my head. And while typing this message, I became a poet and didn't know it!?

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!

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 just started this mission and Mu'Vorkan is "twitching." Like the model is being re-rendered or something like that.

Thank you! Are there level 50+ enemies anywhere in the open area? It seems I've been ambushed before when I flew too low a few times!? Edit: I found some 50+ near the mothership! Yay!

The Rikti (and all the enemies in fact) in the "open area" of the RWZ are level 35-37. They're supposed to be level 50+, right?

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!"

Rogue.

I'll take the badge, if offered! Anyway, the badge for "Avoids the Green Stuff" has a grammatical error, I think...? "You defeated Anti-Matter at the Keyes Island Reactor without letting a member of your league get caught in a Obliteration Beam." I think it's supposed to be "...an Obliteration Beam." Er... Not that I'm subtly bragging about having the "Avoids the Green Stuff" badge! Heh!

Update: My Ouro portal still works in Ouro. I exited to Atlas Park and re-entered with my portal and it was usable when it recharged (in Ouro.)

Now this didn't cause any problems at all, but it was kinda fun to watch the players click on my portal and reappear a few feet away. When my Ouro recharged, I was able to cast it again and again. Anyway, I believe the conditions that allowed me to do this was the fact that we started the Lambda itrial in Ouro and exited the tf back into Ouro (instead of arriving the "natural" way.) I've never checked other TFs for this glitch and tbh, it was only coincidence that I noticed it this time. I'm not reporting this as a "problem," but I suppose it's worth reporting.

Can we PLEASE have an option to do something with the Incarnate salvage besides crafting powers for a single toon?! I've been badging Incarnate missions and now my Incarnate salvage window is CLOGGED!!!!!!!!!! If I don't get Rare/Very Rare, I just click "Don't accept reward." And even then, it's only a matter of time before I start blowing off Rare and Very Rare rewards! And I'm nowhere near level 99 vet, yet!? Help!

Wow! I would love to be a fly on the wall at the dev meetings! I bet they have some really fascinating discussions!
