The "summer set" is technically Overwhelming Force. It just isn't named "Summer".
Yeah, but you get them through the "summer blockbuster" event... which is running year round (so should also really be renamed.)
And there is only one there. Honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing all four seasons represented. Heck, idea for a new, shifting contact. Do the "support" set, with regeneration and the like, as a (more fitting!) spring set or two, a set or two that help sustain (in some sense) as a summer set, a set or two that are probably control heavy (slowing things down/DoT/probably fire procs) for an autumn set or two...

Cordon Bleus are great! It's like a big chicken nugget that's also a Hot Pocket!
I know, right? 😄

From tastesbetterfromscratch.com:
How to make Chicken Cordon Bleu:
Ingredients
▢ 8 thin slices ham
▢ 8 oz Swiss cheeses sliced or shredded
▢ 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts , about 2 pounds
▢ salt and pepper
▢ 3 cups corn flakes cereal , crushed (or substitute breadcrumbs)
▢ 6 Tablespoons butter , melted
For the sauce:
▢ 1 cup mayonnaise
▢ 1-2 teaspoons yellow mustard , to taste
Instructions
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Use a sharp knife to cut each chicken breast in half horizontally to create two chicken breast halves.
Place the chicken breast halves between two sheets of plastic wrap and use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound them into thin and evenly (be careful not to pound so hard that the meat tears.).
Top each pieces of chicken with a slice of ham and a ham handful of shredded cheese. Roll tightly, tucking the sides a little, and place on a new piece of plastic wrap.
Wrap the chicken tightly in the plastic wrap, pinching the excess plastic on the sides to create a tootsie-roll shape and twisting them to create a firm chicken roll. Refrigerate the wrapped chicken bundles for at least 30-minutes or up to one day in advance.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Remove chicken from fridge, unwrap and season with salt and pepper. Add cornflakes to a food processor and pulse into fine crumbs. Add crumbs to a shallow dish or pie plate. Melt butter in a separate shallow dish.
Dip the chicken bundles in melted butter, and then into the cornflake crumbs, pressing lightly to help the crumbs stick to the chicken. Transfer to a lightly greased baking sheet.
Bake on the center oven rack for about 30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through (160 degrees on a thermometer inserted into the chicken, not the filling.)
Make the sauce by stirring the mayo and mustard together. Taste and add more mustard, as needed, to taste.
There. Now there's something worth reading in this thread. Might even feed the troll!

yeah but its his own post
I think he was checking in on it?
also for the record I have no idea what its about
I thought firebase zulu was the hated zone?
Which, instead of necroing a four and a half (ish) year old post post, he could have done by ... logging in and seeing what activity's like, instead of causing the obvious "what are you talking about?" response from a years old post that's irrelevant now.
Part of why posts should be *locked* after - say - several months to a year with no activity.

I'm glad you guys got a license. Now please, for the love of all that does not suck in this world, hire some talent and get updates out faster.
"Hire?"
You're aware this is ... *volunteer,* right? And they're not making money to "hire" anyone?
Frankly I'd rather they take time with development instead of throwing crap at the wall, seeing what sticks whether it looks good or works well or not, and having to roll back far more often when it breaks things.

Did I miss something?
There are daily Hamis in the Abyss, two on the weekends
You missed that this was first posted in 2019.

If "Jelly" is the actual term of art for that section of the UI, I am going to absolutely lose it.
🤣
I just sort of associate that with some variants of the OS X UI....

In character creation do you abandon if you cannot come up with a costume or name you like?
How many levels do you go before you decide a character isn't for you?
When you abandon a character do you delete it, or just leave it now that we have 1,000 slots?
Do you expect to go back to old characters or once you move on are the old ones dead to you?
1 - no. Renames are free, as are costumes before 10.
2 - depends on the character, but it's rare for me to completely give up on a character.
3 - Even on live, I kept the character. Powers get changed all the time, and sometimes it's just a character not "clicking" right away.
4 - I tend to go back unless their story's completely told... and even then I'll revisit on occasion.

Then ask the Chaos United (Everlasting branch) SG leader to put in a Personal Storage Vault. (Edit: Check to make sure there isn't one before you do though. Looks like a massive hinged vault door.)
Or just go to the Vault Reserve, which is in... pretty sure every non-hazard, non-pvp zone, or close to it.

Yep, sorting's been asked for.
That said, you can always save your playerslot.txt file (under your homecoming folder/accounts/account name) and have them refer to that for sorting. Can also set it to read only, and since it's just text, you could manually rearrange them even offline.
It is, granted, a bit of a hassle.

You're probably thinking of the in game strategy to jump just before you trigger your attack so you remain in motion while you attack.
That's the "jousting" mentioned earlier, or at least one form of it. Like dealing with... blah, whatsisface, moment? in Jenny Adair's TF. Queue attack, run, jump past him, never gets a shot off, never gets to use his big AOE heal.

That's how character Section IDs worked in Phantasy Star Online -- little coloured symbols with names like 'Bluefull,' 'Redria' and 'Purplenum.' If you ever played that, that might be what you're thinking of?
Nope. It was a COH thing.

Aren't those colors pseudo-random when the character is made?
I want to say "no, it's picked by some algorithm that looks at your name and assigns a value based on what's in there," but that's going off of semi rusty memory.

At this point the scenario falls apart, because like I said, a single character may only be in a leveling pact with another single character
Actually.... at one point it was possible to be in one with basically a full team.
HOWEVER. XP earned by one character *would be split 8 ways* in that scenario. No, I'm not sure how any of them having 2xp running would affect it (and would likely just break things further.)
The devs were fully aware of "oh, one person can PL with another benefitting."

Per the wiki, leveling pacts were disabled back in Issue 21 because it was felt the sidekick system accomplished the leveling pact's purpose.
Leveling pacts were pretty much always buggy, randomly broke and were generally problematic. I don't recall sidekicking having anything to do with it.

Just knock them down, up, or back or get a control on them. Knocking back is nice - takes them longer to get back to where they are standing up and activating it (during which they can have that sliver of life that makes them MOG taken away.)

At: A desk in the living room
Music: Typically only if (A) I'm DJing for friends or (B) it's the Cape's thursday night show w/One Hit Wonder (which I've also been covering for friends when she's sick. Thursday night is sort of our group chill.)
Game sounds: Speakers.
With others: Live alone, wife's been dead a few years so if someone else were physically here it'd be weird for me to just start playing.
Time: Varies. Sometimes just hop in for a bit, sometimes it'll be a few hours.
As for where? ... (in COH, yes, shifts between red and blue, the RAM has red, ,blue and gold... sorta visible.)

For controllers, I like Earth or ice
Having played (as a main...) Earth/FF, I'd say "Not unless you're *always* teamed or like watching things die in geologic time." Which, I suppose, would be appropriate for Earth/.
For Masterminds, the question's going to be "How active do you want to be?" I know some folks love it. For me, a bots/FF nearly bored me off the entire AT because I felt like an observer. If I were to run another /FF mastermind, I'd probably do something like pick a melee set of pets and plan on the fighting pool - for the attacks - to have something to do.
And for Corruptors and Defenders... well, anything really works. Perhaps pair with Dark (from memory) for some -tohit on the enemies. (And I, for a set like this, tend to plan on dual builds - one with team powers, one without those but more offense for solo work.)

I would quickly find this mandatory in most builds that don't have their own status protection. I think I would drop the Hold protection, as that can already be found in Acrobatics. Whether or not it's kept, I think, based on the theme of reasoning your way out of things better, resistance might be more appropriate than protection anyway. Also a nice container for +Perception and Build Up procs.... seconding this. That's just - a bit much for ranged, but doing some mental conditioning and using a bit of status resistance... is less problematic.
(Acrobatics isn't a "must take" power now (at least for fire/dark armor) thanks to IOs, among other things, and only gives 1 mag protection as I recall... so it's a steep cost for a little protection. Superior Reasoning at 14... oof, as described, yeah, you'd see most every controller, defender, possibly mastermind, blaster and controller - barring, maybe, FF and Sonic thanks to the big bubbles giving protection - respeccing to take it.)

Any good? I've not taken it in a long time because back in the day it was shite and about as much use as a rubber duck in the Sahara.
But something in the back of my mind tells me that it had a couple of passes to make it worthwhile.
Anyone have any input on the veracity of this?
I *hate* the current voltaic sentinel and want the old one back. It's a toggle now because "OMG I have to click something." It was *far* more useful before.
Far as I'm concerned, it's seriously nerfed and the only reason any elec. blast characters have it is that they had it before the nerf and I don't want to bother respeccing.

1. No, given how we're run.
2. No, they did that on live and not only was it reviled by the playerbase but it didn't go particularly well - I think we had a total of three ads (which were *everywhere,* it was obnoxious) and was eventually quietly dropped.
