Wanna try again champ? I've put quite a bit out there, live and here. "Let's try to broad-brush everyone who doesn't like an idea I do" isn't a good look. Brush that wide, you might slap yourself in the face with it. Don't do it. Yes, that includes your signature.

And I'm sure some of the people here don't play STO don't because of it. "Because that's how it works over there" isn't much of an argument. And frankly, you don't need to understand - and I'm not being snarky (or @Snarky ) about that. I think I'd mentioned elsewhere, I don't understand why people get so wound up over not seeing their character in the middle of a fight (with powers, etc going off everywhere anyway) but... *shrug* doesn't hurt me, doesn't hurt the game, makes them happy, sure.

I don't generally mind. THe only time it really gets to be "a lot" is in - say - an MSR or an invasion, and I have bigger things to worry about at that point. Honestly I've never really gotten the "I can't see my character" thing... outside of a mission or when you're not fighting? Sure. Middle of a fight? What, you want to make sure you're a pretty corpse? But... *shrug* no skin off my nose.

If it's related to the thread, otherwise, just create a new one 🙂

And what if they don't want *others* to see their global by default? (I don't care, I wouldn't use it, but there may well be that aspect of it for some.)

I don't enable notifications for anything pretty much, yet every few times I hop on the forum I get some sort of prompt to enable push notifications. I've said no already. If I wanted them, I'd turn them on. I don't want them, I don't want to know they exist, ever. Is there some way to perma-disable this?

This is why you can add stars to the player notes. No, you can't see it in chat, but if you want to flag someone (good or bad) so you can see if you're teamed with them again or in the same local area, you can do it.

Yeah, other than the sash (females get the carrier sash, which was deemed close enough,) there are no held pieces. The tights and fire stripe pattern are generally available, the eye glow is an aura, most everything else is a power.

"All we need." 😉

There are sub-50 mission doors around that edge of Portal Corp (typically cave entrances around the outside,) so bumping them to 50 probably would *not* be a good idea, actually.

I always disconnect my map right away and stick it in the upper right hand corner, just as an aside, and don't think I've ever not had a zoom slider. But this might be enough for it to reset (or whatever) the window to give the zoom control back.

Eh. No real reason to make them levelless, really. They're there for a badge (well, two.) Besides, being able to *out*level them helps for some characters.

Sounds like someone who was just going to be negative. "This isn't the COH I remember?" Most of the base stuff is. If he left in issue 10 and came back in issue 15, it wouldn't have been "the COH they remember" either. Don't let it bother you.

Yeah, I just ran around a few zones, making sure to include founders falls (the map in question here,) and they all had the zoom slider on the right. Think my next steps would be "Zone, see if it changes. If not, log off/on. If that still doesn't do it, verify your files from the launcher." Edit: Since the OP replied - I actually wouldn' twant it to fill the window, primarily because of the way it already acts in some maps (or has, I can't recall if that was fixed.) I tend to associate it with Cimerora maps, since that's where I see it most, where the map *starts out* already too zoomed in. One of the more annoying little things to me... I'd hate to have it do that everywhere. Especially if you can't zoom out because it's bugged like what you're seeing.

Pfft. Telling us we're not crazy. I *know* you're wrong there.

Pfft, make a medium mastermind, people will want a high and low mastermind too. Then those won't be good enough, we'll need a supersized mastermind, a vente mastermind (all coffee attacks,) it'll be madness! On the serious side, I wouldn't mind, though Propel feels... weird to me in this. Not sure what I'd put in its place.

So, I get a character, level them to 41. I now can't hunt glowies in FF, I've outleveled the zone. I now practically can't hunt them in PI, since I'm 41 and the mobs will be 50. Said character - and most characters, I'd say - can now not practically play the event without begging for teams. Not controversial, just ... not good.

So when I set up certain characters, I tend to want to watch the same things. Or just have a basic "XP to next level, level shift, inf" window. And of course, with some recent tweaks to what shows up in the power monitoring window, some of my windows have changed - some show "gravity" (which is irrelevant to me,) some do the thing where there are suddenly huge gaps and blank spots where stuff I used to have set up to monitor would be. Would it be possible to have a /save_monitor (filename) and /load_monitor (filename) like we do for so many other things? (Filename, of course, would be optional.) (Talking about this window: )

So, looking at one of my bots MMs, I noticed they were all marked as invalid. Wanted to change colors on them anyway, so I went in to fix it. Nothing *looked* invalid, changed the colors, saved the costume. (All slots on this one currently have the same costume.) Went to load it on another character - invalid part , it doesn't have access to part (13, right weapon) - the Shard Cannon. (Which it shows properly in the preview.) Costume fix changes the weapon to the default old-AR weapon. I can switch it back, but it's apparently using (I'd assume) the old location or an invalid location in the save file for the gun - I'm assuming from an update. .costume file has it listed thusly: CostumePart "" { Fx WEAPONS/Custom_AssaultRifle/Fem_AssaultRifle_Shard_Cannon_01.fx Geometry None Texture1 None Texture2 None DisplayName P2098554993 RegionName Weapons BodySetName Weapons Color1 255, 169, 0 Color2 255, 103, 28 Color3 255, 169, 0 Color4 255, 103, 28 } broken-mastermind-gun.costume

So, messing around with the event I ended up getting these temps - one to go monochrome, one to go sepia tone. I actually have characters this would be *really* fitting for. (Including one that's a black and white photograph come to life.) Would it be possible to have these as P2W or otherwise long-term temp powers? A bit niche, sure, but I could also see - if we can't pick the effect for it - suggesting using them in spots in AE arcs for the sake of atmosphere, for instance.

If they could add things like holding cell doors and COT crystals to the "do not show" list, I'd be thrilled.

If you do - don't recall if it's Tina or Unai's arc - there are two missions relating to this - these guys were taken by the Rikti and used as troops.

Eh. My big thing with mice is either the cord (though they're gettting better at strain relief) or the right mouse button. So I bought some spares and am starting to just replace the internal button when it starts not behaving.

EEEEK... all the naked Rikti... *looks for eye bleach*

I'd say this is a place where the lore takes a back seat to game mechanics. There's a *tiny* bit of lore, sure (Vanguard are aware of the "new" (as opposed to when it was the Rikti Crash Site) generators, etc.) but otherwise it's a thin coat of lore flavor (maybe hazelnut) over a repeatable game event. Realistically, there's no way that (for instance) every December Trixie over on Everlasting can run "the smushening" with 10+ MSR runs back to back as an actual, "this happens within game lore and canon." (Yes, this is a thing.) Just like Perez Park likely wouldn't have hundreds if not thousands of gang members just standing around in groups constantly so you could run back and forth and street sweep, or the task forces wouldn't have "oh no, what a surprise, the exact same thing happened witht he last group I sent out five minutes before you, and will happen again if you want to run it when you finish this run." The events of the RWZ arcs (and other Rikti arcs) and LGTF happen as well, sure, but just once (and don't rely on an MSR.)
