Completely irrelevant to me but I am going to post here just to say so.

the outlook is bleak ?

Congratulations NCSoft for adopting Homecoming. You are beginning to redeem yourselves.

This kind of thing doesn't work me either - 'I'm a fly by the seat' player - love P.U.G.s and it works well on HC Excelsior because of the population. To be constricted by or bound to the clock is not appealing. But there are plenty of players who manage their whole lives by the minute hand and I expect that works great on Rebirth for those players.

I'm actually expecting voice acted CoH 2 now with micro-transactions.... 😛

AO is a Funcom product.

any reason all cossie pieces should not be cross gender?

yeah FTP on steam would keep the game busy.

O M effing G !! What a result for that 4 years of hard work and labour of love by the Score team. Congratulations Homecoming and players. You have proven my love for you. Even NC has a spot of hardcore redemption with this move.

I was thinking that as I was farming presents the other day. But you have to realise one thing - if 1000 thousand frostlings lead to a badge the whiners are going to have 1 less thing to whine about, unless they start whining about too many people opening presents to clear frostlings (don't say you weren't warned). I for one though am all for those badges to be implemented.

Confirmed - Snarky was a dev.

I have a few parked that have never left Outbreak. Many at all levels and some get moved further to the right of the character list the less I play with them. I don't know if they are abandoned until I delete them. But as has been said, why delete if there is a smidgen of hope for them with 1000 slots per account? Even so, several poor choices have been deleted.

I'm sure that they would be welcomed with open arms. Even Andy, who was not a dev but the community manager. What a boost it would be if Matt (Positron) Millar popped in to say hi to his long adoring fans.

About the middle of 2023 I experienced a raft of nasty, mean, abusive players and got so miffed that I took a 3 month break. When I came back I didn't encounter them again. I know the reasons we were suddenly invaded by a bunch of cretins but now I think they have all left. If the player base descends once again to that level I will probably go on another hiatus.

Haha, I heard this in the Winter of 2019 - the first Winter after HC launched ! Y'know what - population has never dwindled from the average in those 4 years. Sure there have been quieter times but then there have been busier times. It remains at a mean level in my experience.

Yes there is. one sure way to make it shorter is to play with full IO'd team mates. Another is to play with people familiar with the TF. If you find that you don't have time to game, do the thing that you have the time for.

When I want to IO a toon I find this Wiki page essential, probably my most used wiki page actually. Invention Origin Sets with set bonuses I check prices for recipes and enhancements in AH before I spend the merits to make INF and merits go as far as possible. Purple sets you need like Panacea are worth spending merits on.

As is the inevitable destination for ourselves and everyone we know. For example - how many normal people are known from 1000 years ago. One of my favourite quotes is "life, nobody gets out alive." I have zero idea why people avoid the issue which connects each of us to the other. And because it does I have every idea how valuable life is to myself and you. If more people knew it, our world would be a better place. One thing is for sure, if I make my small part of it a better place, well, that's a start.

Yes - Null in pocket D. Once I've badged AP on a new toon I always visit Null to disable movement buffs and group flight and enable accept MF but especially disable the temp bar.

I'd use stealth for that from the concealment set. I'd probably slot it with 3-4 def set too.

Yes ... & no . Gaming communities are transient, always have been. But exponentially more so the older and the wider that gaming media evolves. This game has it's devotees, some stay without a break. Others I have seen take 6 months or a year out. Now that gaming is so vast and we all get new shinys for festivities they are bound to draw some from our established community for a while, for good or for a minute. Social obligations are brought with the Winter solstice which means less expendable time for personal activities. But rest assured, already people are beckoning for the Valentines event and when that happens more will return.

Happy stolen pagan festival

As a Great British underdog we loved Eddie, still do. He provoked a national pride for our tiny nation.
