  1. It's not a matter of "missed." They are still working on patches and updates. Wait and see what's coming up.
  2. Nope, it should be left up to the devs to determine what's best for the game. Sometimes it's what's popular, sometimes it's not. Sometimes what's popular is bad for the long term health of the game. Sometimes they come up with alternatives and compromises. Development should not be a democracy. And again, not telling you not to state you opinion. Don't take reacting to it as "don't say anything."
  3. This isn't a "say nothing." Throw your opinion out there, nobody wants to stop you. (Well, I don't.) However, (a) you are, from your post, basing this on poor information (that it's somehow related to PVP - it isn't, that's a side effect of the command being there when it shouldn't, and there are other exploits related to it,) and (b) yes, it does come off as "change this and I'm leaving." Even if it's just "backing off," well - personally, it comes off as a (poor, and that's not "because it's from you," I'm not aiming this at you personally, just the type of post) threat to a team that's running this and developing it on a *volunteer* basis. Which, yes, a "me" thing but does tend to put my back up and get that reaction. And, (c) as mentioned - you're doing this without seeing if they have something else they're replacing it *with.* The devs aren't blind that people like the functionality. Give them a little credit and see what they're *doing* before complaining about them doing what they've said they'll do for... what, over a year now? Honestly, in general I'm somewhat baffled by this. Base *passcodes* aren't going away. All those transport hub bases will still be useful. The base teleporter option (which, yes, has a recharge, but how often do you need to run down to the base?) takes base passcodes. There are multiple other fast-transport options, both as purchased/earned and (granted, requiring other picks, unless you're a 'shade) pool powers. It's not like this one command goes away and you're forced to [Walk] from N to S Independence Port for everything you want to do. And those powers will likely be involved in some way with this change. Wait and see. Get involved in the betas if you really want to give feedback and shape this - this doesn't mean "spend 40 hours a week," but even half an hour when they announce something's there to take a look at can shape what's done.
  4. Did you try what I posted, adding a 2 or 3 at the end?
  5. If there were, I'd imagine it would be posted by the devs in a post regarding page 6.
  6. Your understanding is incorrect. This is a developer command that is not supposed to be available to the playerbase, period. Anything dealing with PVP is purely an aftereffect. Also... really? A "change this and I'm leaving" post? (Yes, that *is* essentially what it is.) Especially with portals everywhere that aren't all that far away that will *still work* with existing passcodes? And on *top* of not seeing if they're doing something else to offset the command's use - likely why it hasn't gone away yet?
  7. Well, if you want to get really nitpicky, 8, then 12 once COV came out ("if you owned both," I believe.) But given those were combined for so long... And 8 really got me expanding onto other servers. I couldn't imagine "just" 8 now. Or even "just" 12.
  8. You can get this information now, actually... I *believe* it was showfps 3. Height coordinate is at the camera position. (Not disagreeing with it being an option on the compass, just saying it's there.) Edit: Both /showfps 2 and 3 do it. 3 is obnoxiously large. 2 shows up in the upper right.
  9. Thinking about it, I probably would have left and come back at this point at least once. (Well, once more, I did briefly when it looked like the attitude towards solo-able Incarnate content was "lol, no, grind for it.") Or I'd just flat out be burnt out. Then again, IIRC they were working on COH 2 pitches at shutdown, or probably would have been, so I'd probably have moved on to that.
  10. Oh, no. It's the general sound of it. But that's just me. I'm glad the option's there for folks though.
  11. And if we don't, you'll Ram? Ford that stream of thought cautiously? (Yes. I have always found "Dodge Ram" amusing. "Which do you want me to do? Make up your mind!")
  12. Well. I've remade Rez Dispenser, just because, and since it's the season, School Spirits, as well. (Necro/Thermal.)
  13. For player created souvenir clues - from AE missions.
  14. Greycat

    Pet Names

    I have a 'bots mastermind (Cyber Crystal) who needs more bots: Make it / Work it / Do it Makes us / Stronger Never Over
  15. No mods do this, and IIRC it's one of those "more work than you'd think" items.
  16. This. Which is why I play here and not there.
  17. Thanks for the reminder. Just remade School Spirits.
  18. Not really a "bug," but not sure where else to put this. In the character creation origin select screen, it still says you can "Start the game as one of the 10 basic archetypes." Which is no longer true, as you can start as a Kheld or VEAT, unless you're in Praetoria (which has its own button to pick anyway.)
  19. I *believe* the power analyzer at P2W might show it. Otherwise it's a matter of looking it up. There are general rules, like robots will be psi resistant.
  20. Seconding seeing the same error on method 2. (Late 2014 mac mini, 4gb RAM, Catalina 10.15.7)
  21. Other than the previously mentioned "Firefox and Windows want to treat it like a virus," I'm going to say first impressions are good - though, as mentioned, I had to kill the install process and relaunch for it to create icons, but that's me. Everything else seemed to go fairly well. Minor suggestions submitted in suggestions.
  22. Completely aesthetic and low priority: Theming/skinning and/or color choice (for those who, say, want to start in villainous red or Praetorian gold from the very first click.) Returning the color coding to the server status (right now, Excelsior is the only "medium" status server, but it's kind of hard to notice that it has two chevrons in that button instead of one.)
  23. I was not surprised that Bill of Wights (necro MM) wasn't taken. >.>
  24. Testing here, it works. But, I have all my binds in an external directory (c:\binds) and have since live, so they're not in the default directory. But relying on the defaults, I suppose that would break, given the file structure changes. Not sure what ISBoxer is, but I just fired up and ran both accounts at once - and can switch between them, still having control on both. What if you just use the client to launch both?
