Never happened on live. Maybe as some other independent server. The closest thing to a PVP server we had was - well, similar to Virtue being the RP server. Just an unofficial designation. Live, the only PVP zones we had were the same ones we have now - Bloody Bay, Siren's Call, Warburg and Recluse's VIctory (as well as the arena of course.) As far as the OP? As small as the PVP ... I'm even going to include "PVP friendly if not active" to get the most people ... population is, I can't see this being not just "not on the table" or "not on the roadmap" but "not even in the same galaxy." Even with the "do a mirror version of each zone," you've now made development and testing much, much more difficult as everything would have to be tested against both versions. If there wer a huge "I want to PVP!" population? Well, it'd probably already be baked in more. 🙂

Is this reproduceable: Yes. I *suspect* it's the "app protection" option in Citrix, as its description includes, in part, watching for keyloggers. The interaction isn't just limited to COH, by the way. Part of what I'd found was an online key rollover test. (https://www.mechanical-keyboard.org/key-rollover-test/d) Start the test and - without Citrix - hold down (say) W and A - both will start up. Reinstall citrix, enable protection and restart the PC, and it will swap between them instead of letting them chord. Even if you exit Citrix (from the system tray.) Even ending all services related to Citrix in task manager. (Expect edits in a moment.) Edit: Yes, it's the "app protection" option during the citrix installation. Removed citrix, rebooted, reinstalled without that option and the chording/rollover was not affected.

Honestly... yeah, it doesn't stand out but the pattern on the Canadian jackets isn't *awful.* I can appreciate subtle-ish. And yes, Mongolia and the Philippines have some nice designs there...

EDIT: Call it a bad day, I read into what was written some attitude that wasn't there. Sorry, SK.

Part of why I don't deal much with Praetoria... the ambushes just get tedious. One of the designers was just ambush-happy.

Just throwing this out there as an odd issue I ran across recently. So I'm on vacation, and with the ... mess... recently I decided to check work email. Which meant (for convenience's sake) throwing Citrix Workspace on this system. Once I did so, with app protection (not sure if important,) the rollover on my (Corsair K95) keyboard stopped working. As in... you can usually hit (say) W and A to start heading to the side while moving forward. It wouldn't do that. One would cancel the other. Tested on other systems, worked fine, restarted system - no go, reset keyboard, killed software, same thing, put keyboard on another system... worked fine. "Last thing I put on was Citrix." Removed it, restarted PC... and it worked fine. Throwing this out there just as an oddity. I can't even guarantee putting Citrix back on would do it again. (And, really... I want to keep work as far from this system as I can. I'm on vacation!) (Details: Citrix Workspace app 2405, released July 8. Win11 pro 22631 Z690 Aero G DDR4 I5-13600k, 32 Gb RAM, EVGA nVidia RTX 3070 TI, current drivers.)

Uhhhhh.... As someone who plays a fair number of Kheldians - what are you babbling about? They don't get anciliary pools because they *already* have extended power sets. APPs are designed to give a little bit of something the AT is missing - for instance, melee will probably get ranged damage and some sort of control, ranged and support tend to get some sort of (typically resist) shield, etc. Khelds don't need that. So, no, that is not "a big disadvantage." And there has always been a low number of Kheld players. They used to have a level limit to create one - which, frankly, should still be the case. They're much more complex to build and slot, being given the same number of slots during leveling as a standard AT but potentially having *several* more powers available to them. They're not "bang face on keyboard - profit" ATs, on top of having enemies specific to them (which *have* been nerfed severely, unlike the AT.) And, frankly... no idea what you're talking about with an "end drain crash." ESPECIALLY on Warshades, who can top off fairly frequently on dead enemies, but even PBs have end management built in.

So you want to raise the level of the zone because you play in a way that gives more XP and makes you level faster... I suspect there's a solution here that doesn't involve any dev effort. Besides, once you're done with the Hollows normally, you're able - or at least close to able - to start Faultline, and halfway through Faultline Striga opens up its arcs. Finishing Faultline and Striga puts you right in range for Croatoa. All these story zones become available in a nice chain.

No. Especially with ... what, millions of characters already made? No.

Personally I'd be fine with the "coming storm" going away. It was a horrible sounding idea, frankly, and mostly pushing more Incarnate stuff in the next tier of abilities (which we have little to no information on.)

Well... no. And even your solution ("You call a friend and") has the same problem I have with those missions - and have basically just waved away as things that don't really happen. They really railroad your character at times into doing things they *would not do.* But there's a limit to how many choices and such they can give you. They figured out more as they developed the game more, but still... you're on rails.

Yes. There are some very useful pieces that are in low level sets - like KB protection in the defense and damage resistance spots. One of which also adds something like 3% defense to all. ... because 5 is already enough to easily min/max, perma or cap stuff and make the game stupidly easy? Personally I'd lower it to 3. And make LOTG's recharge unique.

Eh. Might be a good movie, but for me at least... Kind of in Marvel burnout still. (Of course, there's always DC... heheh... ha...yeah, no, not with their track record...)

Honestly I'd like "enter" after the username to just move to the PW field. I seem to recall it trying to log me on with a blank password when I do that. (Not sure any more if it's aware of tab for moving between fields as well.. I want to say no, but I'm not 100% sure.)

Because shards are only used for *one* slot? I mean, seems kind of obvious...

Beast MM without beasts. Robots MM which calls beasts. Ninja MM that calls pirates. Dogs and cats living together. Mass hysteria!

New powerset. Melee cones.

ALL CAPS? It plnoɔ qǝ woɿƨɘ anb ʞool liʞԍ tμiƨ. As far as the op? *shrug* It's a customization request. Nothing game-breaking - or unusual. I'd have no issue with it.

Eh, they mention "the new changes." Vague as far as which changes, how new, etc. *shrug*

Not going to allow herding a zone into a dumpster or an entire level at once, no. That's long gone (and should stay that way.)

... this sounds more like "Should be in beta feedback." (I'm guessing. I haven't had the time to check, and surprisingly with a vacation coming up I'll have even less time... still trying to figure that one out.)

Honestly... Don't worry about a "build." Yes, people can find them fun, but ... long as you're there clicking buttons and doing stuff to the bad guys and/or your teammates, you're good. If you're going to be playing your way up, there's not much point to a "build" for a while anyway. Just get some acc, end reduction and damage/holds/whatever in your powers and worry about getting fancy later. You'll get a grip on the game just by playing. It's not that complex. No, you shouldn't avoid a tank. You don't really need to know enemy "tricks" for the most part - just pay attention to what's going on. (Most don't really have any "tricks," and the ones that do are pretty quick to pick up, and often broadcast. For instance, Protean has this AOE that heals him... but you get a big "Back away from his siphon!" on the screen. So... back up.) But... yeah, there's very little I'd say "avoid if you don't want gimmicks." Maybe titan weapons, since momentum's ... just annoying, at least to me. Obviously hold off on the epic ATs (PB/Warshade/widow/soldier.) Tanks, brutes, scrappers are fine, sentinel's good for being able to seee what's going on with ranged damage and armor... *shrug* You have 1000 slots per shard. Don't be afraid to use them in order to find something that clicks (or lets you just change things up from time to time.)

... wait... you mean there's more to the game than that?

.... I just find this wording funny. 🙂 Just amuses me this morning.

Or at least have the untaken roles autoassigned.
