I'm assuming not, since it sounds like from that warning it's going by *what* your character is, alignment wise, as opposed to where. Which is also true with the blue and red side WWs, IIRC. (I seem to remember switching and having the 'porter just be useless.) But at least those you can switch alignments - you can't switch to loyalist/resistance from a primal alignment.

Kitty of Heroes.

This, exactly. Also, saying ATT and Recall do "the same thing" is like saying a Corvette and a semi do "the same thing." Yes, they go from point A to point B, but I don't think anyone in their right mind expects them to do the same job.

I'm not sure if it matters that those also appear around others it's affecting (as far as having minimal FX or not.) I'm kind of curious about that, since we have other powers (steamy mist, the.... power I'm forgetting from dark miasma, etc.) that also affect appearance of you and others that do not include a minfx option. (Though those would also be more problematic to have a minimal FX option on, since they're stealth and that would affect escorts, which isn't the case with leadership....)

I did previously, had to log off and back on before it would let me. THat was... last week sometime? And yeah, sounds like it's still ongoing.

No, I don't think removing textures all together will fix it. 🙂 Serious answer, I think something like that would be a fairly large undertaking for the game to recognize and use it. I wouldn't argue with it - I'd love the game to look better and have them be able to update it - but it's not something I'd hold my breath on.

Ehhhh. It'd be more like an automaker makes cars that a large portion of the population doesn't like and isn't inclined to purchase - some might rent once in a while. Then they go from a steering wheel and pedals to a stick and buttons over the top of your head. There are still a couple of people who really like quirky cars, but it's the last straw for most of the audience who would have bought it. Plus they get really horrendous paint colors.

Yes. When that changes, I'm sure they'll make an announcement.

That one you can disable the speed portion of at null the gull, at least.

You'd be surprised. It's part of why I wish I could select "AOE buff" or "Single target buff (classic)" sometimes for shields and other buffs that got the AOE treatment.

Going by history, population versus population in zones, history, the whole works. If PVP were at pre-I13 participation levels? I'd have a harder case, I think, in saying it's this wholly unliked by the community in general (and saying this as someone who *enjoyed* it, too.) I don't think I'm on anything close to shaky ground by saying it. I'd love to be wrong, answering questions on "where are the PVP zones, I want to take my character there and fight!" in help and the like. If people were seeking it out, there'd be *some* conversation on it. I think I've seen one person ask *if* there was PVP in the game in the last year. The amount of time I'm on is not inconsiderable, and I tend to watch Help while I am (as well as LFG for spillover there.) And yes, part of the issue is that you really *do* have to learn to play a vastly different game. As a tank? Get ready to get mezzed. Healing? Watch it not work the same. Control? Eesh. But if the *demand* were there, people would be asking about PVP builds and just basic questions, as well. There'd be other people around in the zones. People would be looking for the arena. Those questions just don't come up.

Yes, but the patron attacks don't shoot from your eyes (though one *does* let you puke on people...). Gotta pay for being cool somehow! 😉 I'll let the numbers folks argue this one. Y'know, I don't think I've ever taken that, come to think of it...

I was, as indicated in my first post. I used to enjoy a good fight, and have actually been working on leveling a brute I used to have a lot of fun with on live. Reconsidering given the responses I'm getting.

So, TLDR version - there are cannolis and there are can'tolis and can'tolis make people sad?

He's sort of ... post-Praetorian at that point, though, so I can perhaps see why he doesn't count.

You saved up to 15% by switching to Geico?

... I see what you did there. 🙂

I'm not debating, I'm *asking questions,* because it looked strange to have Warshades there for the reasons I mentioned, and Khelds have the ability to stay at range in Nova (it's all they *can* do unless they want to get killed quickly) which may cause issues in a melee bracket. Thus asking what I did. Edit: Talked with AA and we're good.

VEATs, maybe, they suck - I only play up to the level 10 to get a costume slot. I like and pretty much always play the Kheld arcs, though.

The last line didn't exist when I replied. See my reply (currently 46 minutes ago) and the timestamp of your edit which added it (42 minutes ago at time of writing.) So, no, I didn't. That said? It's echoed very much in game. Otherwise... we'd have more people PVPing and the zones wouldn't be dead. It's not like they're hard to find or not referred to in game, or not visited by people (say) looking for shivans or badging.

Picking player spawn locations. Even if it was just in a few designated maps. I had an idea or two back on live that just couldn't be done because of things like "can't spawn the player in a holding cell."

No, it isn't pure speculation. It is going from, again, *years* of comments of people saying they don't like PVP, period. Want nothing to do with it, play COH because they don't have to deal with it, etc. You just have to read through *this very thread* to see that. And the suggestion's been made other times, too - I'm sure a quick search would bring up even more threads with the same commentary on it. And you can use the Internet Archive and (with judicious searching) see comment on it going back to PVP's introduction into the game. There are people who *just do not like* PVP, and play COH because they can avoid it. There are people who don't like PVP in this genre or environment, but might play it elsewhere. But it is not "pure speculation," by any means.

Super pack for getting 0 escapes in the "keep fir bolg from escaping" mission in Croatoa (first run only, whether it's at level or ouroboros.) And for succeeding with Efficiency expert Pither.

... so why is the Warshade being listed as melee? Dwarf form, maybe, but that's not *spectacular,* and human form has two auras and two melee attacks (Grav well and essence drain.) Is Nova form being restricted from the melee fight, then, as well?

We're hiding your refrigerator. 🙂
