This would "rez PVP" about as effecitvely as spray painting a dolphin would make it able to fly to Mars.

Ehhh... yes, depending on what they're using as far as enhancements. However, "native" level 20 is going to have few if any powers fully slotted, compared to a 50 - so while those (ignoring purple, PVP, etc.) IOs are scaled down, they still have more. They have 5 levels worth of abilities above that level 20, as well - which can make a huge difference (even before the power-availabliltiy-level changes HC introduced a while back.) They also have, for instance, a full inspiration tray, versus the... ten? you have at 20. There are a *lot* of things that build up to make that character more effective.

Silliness aside... ehhh. There are other reasons to be up in the islands - zookeeper badge, exploration badges, history plaques, visiting the castaway. Hami's a league fight, and I'd hate to have him basically bottlenecking things until a server reset or someone gets a league together. *Scheduled* raids can take a bit to fill, after all. And yes, lore-wise Hami's contained. Breaking that containment should be a *far* bigger event than "killed some monsters, lol." Fortunately Hami's not mobile, or we'd have to get into the discussion about griefing by dragging him - say - by/over the police station or close to Portal. People doing that with monsters is one of the reasons we have more drones there now.

Nope. They don't use the whole ASCII set (or whatever character set the game's recognizing.) I've got one character I'd like to remake whose name really would rely on umlauts, too...

Same way I'd react if you required certain ATs, or nobody under a certain level, or only people with fuscia in their outfits. Your team, run how you like, if I'm interested I'll see if I meet the requirements (or alt to someone who does) and respond.

I mean... most have been around since live, so yeah, I've seen it... heck if I can really remember any right off the top of my head, though.

Honestly I just want an option to say "No, I've got this, don't help me, just get out of here." I don't mind losing a mission - I just *do* mind if it's not my fault. And having to come up with strategies ("Skip this group and come back later" or "Lead to this part of the cave then run like hell so they lose you") to work around suicidal AI shouldn't be needed.

Y'know what'd be fun? New mastermind primary. Space themed. Put in some astronauts for the T1, some aliens for T2, tame a star (or black hole) for the T3. Borrow and rename some of the earth blast attacks for the attacks... Debris, Asteroids, that sort of thing. Why? Because it'd pair perfectly with our newest power set, and who wouldn't want to make a space/marine? 😉 (Disclaimer, since I know some folks need it - no, this is not serious. This is for entertainment purposes only. Do not take internally. Not for use as nasal spray. Do not use on children or pets. No refunds.)

Nova would, by default, have to have different animations - it's an entirely nonhumanoid model. Dwarf shares quite a few humanform animations - you can even have it dance, attempt to eat, etc. I *want* to say it's copying the humanform animations (or human animations from elsewhere,) as it's no great effort to do so. (Edit: double checking, yes they do share them.)

... not sure where you get that from what they said. They're defining a difference between a price or an option. They never touched on what anyone else can or can't do. Massive leap of (or completely by) logic to say anything else about it.

You have gnu ears? *tilts head* Whatever works for ya. 😉

I kind of hated the set 'til I just ... ignored combos, yeah. It makes actually *hitting* one feel more like "hey, bonus" rather than something you should be chasing.

*Summons decorative aquarium from the CEO's office.* ... not an amphibian, it's a mammal. Also,

WIndows 11 (and 10, I think,) by default used Print Screen for the Snipping tool - which would be the odd thing you saw pop up. Go to your settings, accessiblility, keyboard, and about in the middle you'll find a toggle to have windows use print screen to capture stuff. You can toggle that off. Or, of course, pick a different key in game. (or make it alt+print screen or something.)

How about not judging what someone does and doesn't do? Unless you're them, (A) you don't know and (B) it's none of your business.

When I mentioned breaking it? I mean it mechanically breaks the game. (Most amusing example: Sometime back on live, there was a bug that - as I recall - let a Peacebringer put *all* their slots into one power. They one-shot Hami. I want to say this was pre-IOs, too, but can't swear to it.)

I wonder if the OP even logs in to the game, given some of the ... bizarre premises he comes up with. "No one has got many characters who have gone (to 50)?" "Takes a long time to get there?" Are we playing the same game? I'll log in and see someone with a new character and, when I see them a week later, they're 50+incarnates. They just ... play the game. I'll say the only reason I don't have *more* 50s than the 30-odd I do or that my characters "take a long time" is that I spend most of my time hanging out RPing. (Which also tends to generate alts, some of which don't generally need to be or have reason not to be 50.) Even then, they get there without all that much effort. I have no idea what the OP does, even after reading far too many of his posts.

IF something like this were done, I'd say there'd have to be a lower limit before it would become available. Granted, it might be *amusing* to have someone with no powers but Brawl, Sprint and inherent fitness highly slotted by level 10, but... Besides, I *want* to say messing with slots like this tends to break the game when stuff like this is tried.

It's a little weird to actually find who gives Tsoo as enemies, though - if you search "Enemy Tsoo" you should get them (or enemy groups tsoo.) https://homecoming.wiki/w/index.php?search=enemy+tsoo&title=Special%3ASearch&profile=advanced&fulltext=1&ns0=1 ... for example. (Thinking there should just be a link or some way of editing the enemy group page... I absolutely suck at wiki editing, though, so...)

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.
