See, that could be a better response, though Rudra covered it fine by now. And really, we don't know these guys are unpowered, but they just run. Now in a reasonable society, they would just be arrested. And what they're doing is recruiting for a criminal organization that engages is murder, etc... They're not clean.

And they're not deleted, just hidden for the GMs to look at in horror.

There's also a modifier on the timer based on powers used.

Sure it was. It was a completely in game thread except you went for the derail.

I don't even see that. If solo and bosses off, no matter the team size # is set to, the bosses appear as lieutenants and elite bosses as bosses. The # will affect the spawn sizes as if you had more team members.

Except for a low cost game that is being developed because the devs want to develop instead of chasing money? I think there's a bunch of holes in your arguments, but I'm a little burned out today.

I think it is subject to the character in question. It was once described as you can decide for yourself if the mobs you arrest are arrested or dead. (by Jack iirc) Using such logic (and I use this sort of logic all the time, examples later), you could just imagine it yourself what your character does. The game code is limited, your imagination is not. Example: Getting the various mayhem badges on a hero. Actually built up a record showing this, but it was all a false cover. etc...

Well, I think we should ignore the derail and just go with: Should the NPCs that seem to be associated with the villain groups in the open world be targetable, or at least surrender when their handlers get arrested?

Not sure if I'm mad at you for pointing that comparison out because I had checked out of that reply before the end and now I had to go back and see for myself. Yikes. Some people just can't deal with people playing a different way. As long as you're not greifing people, I think it's fine to play whatever way. As people have mentioned, there are some things in the game that were fine, until people took advantage of it. Like a take a penny, leave a penny, but some people just dumped the pennies into their coin purse.

I suspect that exchange rate was based on how the market was thought of back then. As an aside, super inspirations have steadily gotten cheaper on the market. You can still get 500k often enough, but the market is saturated enough to make it not reliable.

And just to point out, Council & 5th Column are straight up fascist groups in game history. So, the OP using the label for them is accurate.

Cool effect and while I could see if feasible to program, but probably a pita. I wouldn't put a taunt on it, but I would make it cancel any stealth.

Yea, I think people got annoyed with them before the "just hit banner once for badge" got implemented. Banners are pretty easy now to get the full badges, but I only did them a few times this year. (More to do with my life schedule though)

Any holocostume which includes the ones you can get from the labyrinth work for Whispered Rumor (and House of Horror)

I don't have ROP either on my tank, and I'll occasionally pop an orange in +4 content, but it's easily managed. Foot stomp & Handclap work well for knocking stuff down to keep the damage below regen levels.

Yep. And occasionly there will be a glimmer of good facts by someone stating why Diantane is wrong. "If you can't be a good example, be a warning."

I like Regen myself a bit more than WP after it's latest buff, but WP is a good set. As you said, it's not as good vs sappers, but you don't get terrorized. Each set has strengths and weaknesses.

I do the AH thing during Hami. I actually tend to sell my large inspirations there that drop, combine the others into reds, and any EOE over a few get tossed into the auction. However, I learned awhile ago to click on something else to avoid the typing issue.

I used to work in OCR and thru several other things where font recognition was needed and wound up with quite the selection of fonts on my computers. Though some of that was in the age of dot matrix, so now it's just seeing what font looks good for character sheets and the like.

See if you can get someone else to run the mission and be teamed with them. I find the best place for Lost is North Perez, especially since the Steel Canyon exit is right there for going to the MC.

My level 50 Regen/SS tank is pretty tough and I didn't even take all the advantages a Spaghetti Build would have. I find if I'm fighting anything at +1 and below, with most mobs, I don't have any problems just sitting there. At +4, I have to keep an eye on things, but if I cycle thru various clicks, I have zero problems. Tanked Lord Recluse the other day and the only danger there was the endurance drain. (which I got tips to avoid later)

I'm not sure how this would work, but I can see the appeal. If data was taken, one could then see which missions were done. (Pretty sure that's not a trivial bit) There are some throw away missions that are somewhat amusing.

Turtledove replaying WW2 in various ways comes to mind. I'm forgetting who it was, but some series I read, and it wasn't plot, but some description of a fight and it was nearly an exact quote of some other fight. Sorta similar vibes. And as to the thread: There's more than one way to play CoH, and that is one of it's strengths. The worst players IMO are the ones that insist there's only one way.

The font used on the character select screen is a bit different. I think the name of the font is Red Circle. As you can see, the capital N is different from lower case, but the capital does have characteristics of other capital Ns with other fonts.

Aw man, we're getting remakes of old threads. It's like when an author puts out a new book and you find out they reused the plot of one of their older books.
