It's called "feedback and discussion." If you can't handle that, well... Besides, nobody talking about it is a dev. It doesn't *matter* whether anyone here accepts or rejects suggestions (and the "never accept any suggestions" is patently false - all you need to do is actually look,) unless they're specifically labeled as a dev (and it's easy to tell who those are) and saying yes or no for some reason. And yawanna know what? Even a dev saying no isn't necessarily permanent. I fought for quite some time on live to get Sonic Dispersion's graphics changed because they were causing *actual, physical pain* to people. i was watching multiple friends disappear for days to deal with migraines, for instance. (And watching - and reporting - others getting some sick glee out of tormenting the people affected by it.) I was a pest about it, posting about it repeatedly. One of the live devs said "no, we can't do that" - that it couldn't technically be done. And not much later... they were changed. So calm down, go have a juice box or whatever. Untwist the undies. If you can't handle discussion and disagreement, just drop whatever suggestion in the forum and go do something else instead of getting worked up. Otherwise, look at what's being argued, make your case, be willing to make adjustments or explanations and who knows, one of them might make it in in some form.

... ugh. Sick enough of it by the end of when it normally runs, having it year round (and... I'd argue that no, it doesn't really fit) would just ... ugh.

I have to admit I don't tend to think of Aethers as a currency but as salvage. Not sure why my head binned them that way. Forgotten but still in game: Vanguard merits. There's just not much use for them other than a recurring Vanguard HVAS and converting to Reward Merits. (Does *anyone* keep picking up the psi shield/psi bomb? Or Nectembo's Curse Breaker after the RWZ arcs and / or the Alpha unlock arc?) Redundant: Shards. Just get rid of them. I have characters with thousands of them. I do the free conversion when I think of it. Then gain more that I'll never use. I rarely craft an Alpha with them, other than the times I have way too many just sitting and say "what the heck" and craft some alpha I'll never use. Drop them and everything related and just go with threads, which drop fast enough to get you through T4 on everything anyway. I don't think the MSRs give "a lot," really. You'll get more bang for the buck - or minute - by running Hami raids. Mothership raids are so variable - you can get from (typically) 800-1200 V-merits typically, with some raids giving more (I've seen as high as 1600, rumor of 2000 or so, but not frequently) and they convert at 30-1 to Reward merits. So, for half an hour-ish, 36-40 reward merits for constant activity. A hami, which takes less time - Everlasting runs two, three times a day - gives 80 on the first run, 40 on subsequent, and a typical double raid is done in about half an hour, depending on how long it takes for hami to spawn. 80-120 merits for half an hour. (160 if you manage to swap characters and get the 80 twice. If you have six fifties, 480 merits a day over the three raids.) About the only way you match that on an MSR is joining Trix's "smushening" on Everlasting - once a year 12 hours (or more) straight of just MSR after MSR. And yes, I'm glad Prestige is gone. Wish the listings for it would be gone and the SG interface would be redone so it could be completely banished... it did nothing but restrict creativity (and even just plain utility) when it was around.

Yeah. As I recall the original "well" was in some way related to Pandora's box, hidden, absorbing the latent power/creativity/belief of humanity and occasionally overflowing and releasing it all into (basically) what we think of as "Ages of gods" and "Ages of heroes." The whole sentient-well-you-get-your-power-from-me is just... rgh.

Head bullets. What else would be in a head cannon? ... oh, wait. one n... I tend to think a good number of the masked/faceless villain groups actually are customers of one or more very efficient cloners who can put out mass quantities of cannon fodder. They don't *have* to be perfect or mingle with the public (other than to point a gun at them,) so underneath those masks they look... uncanny. But it doesn't matter - it keeps the numbers inside these groups up to what we see them in game, and all they need to be able to do is follow orders and shoot somewhat straight. (It's also why they don't react to others running by who have obviously been in a fight. They're not designed to.) It's also why we don't have any sort of legal consequences for shooting, stabbing, burning, freezing, psy-ing, plant-ing, folding and spindling them - someone, somewhere, has set the system up so these clones are seen more as biological machines rather than *people,* and thus don't have things like "rights" or "due process." The worst charge any hero would have to face would be property damage.

Don't attribute to malice what may be chalked up to misremembering. Or old age.

If it's a new character, I'd say the answer is "no, they don't." Granted, if I have ideas for extra costumes early, I try to get them in by level 10 so at least those are free. Plus you can just park in Icon 'til you get that day job and get some discounts... Eh. Not sure how I feel about it, really. On the one hand, we already turn in salvage for a slot, so tacking a free costume change wouldn't exactly be gamebreaking. On the other, discounts and such aren't hard to get - and neither is inf, so... *shrug* Not really for or against it.

Not sure how much work would be involved in mirroring the animations/weapon holding hand/etc. (And really, this goes for blasts, too.) I wouldn't mind - doubt I'd *use* it, but I wouldn't mind the option being there if it's not a huge PITA to do.

No. Ice patch = things falling down instead of either attacking or running away. Plus amusement.

It figures in as far as "Does it fit the character." Past that? Don't honestly care.

Alexander's a person. Patton's a tank and can shoot or just run over Alexander. Patton > Alexander. Wellington's a bomber. It can hit Patton well out of Patton's reach. Wellington > Patton. Wellington wins.

If I could have only one character... I'd log out and just RP the lot on Discord or something. One character's just boring. Too many stories out there to tell.

I rate myself: 7, banana, C#, I-94 Eastbound, Fnord and Taylor the Singing Antelope.

Little holiday thought.... Would it be possible to have alternate spirit tree models? Obviously they'd have to be about the same size, but a little fir Bolg "hiding" as one, a small Christmas tree, something like the fall trees (or just a bush...) for alternate graphics might be fun.

Isn't there one on an *extremely* short timer that you're essentially meant to fail as part of the storyline? Seem to vaguely remember that being a thing on an arc. Don't recall which one, right offhand. It'd be an edge case, regardless, but it'd be appropriate for that to be a "surprise" timed mission.

Nope. Not sure why you'd think that. You wouldn't want someone to be able to start harassing someone again just because they've reinstalled or gone to another PC. Also, you can see what's stored locally. It is, after all, stored locally. The only thing there is playernotes.txt. (Easy, on Windows - on the launcher, click on Screenshots. Brings up your screenshots folder. CLick on your COH install directory in the tree up top, then go to accounts and pick yours. You'll see what's local.)

One of the main problems is that those local files are ... local. Not a big deal to some, but I (for instance) have two desktops - one in sorta-retirement I don't really game on these days much - and two laptops, and those local files aren't necessarily in sync.

/getglobalname charactername will give it to you.

It is.

... Kind of chuckling at a friend of mine for going through removing and readding people to her list to sort it again... but it's also what's prompting me to throw this out there. How about the ability to not just add or delete, but drag and drop to organize your friends (and in this case global friends) list the way you want? Maybe save/load a grouping, too. (Granted, I just click to see who's on or not, but I know some folks are more organizationally inclined.)

Nope, it is indeed in the COC: and I know it's been enforced in the RWZ, too, at least during MSRs.

Isn't that against the CoC anyway? (Dual boxing in MSR or Hami, specifically.)

Precisely *because* there are tons of people - enemies are constantly coming out, so you're sure to get bosses and get all the badges, get a ton of XP (and if they do the same as last year, get your 10 prismatics quickly.)

Yyyeeeeaaahhhh.... used Vidiotmaps since live. Eden's always been Eden (and fairly niche use, for me.) It's only modified the map, not a costume piece. No idea what *you* found, but I've never had Vidiotmaps turn characters - well, as close to nude as blocks and pixels can be.

That's never been needed. Perhaps you're thinking of WoW. No, it won't. See, I *played* in the days of "Stand here and wait while the tank herds the entire floor into a corner." That wasn't fun. That was boring. Oh, sure, it gave the rest of the team time to stand around and talk while they waited to see if they could *do* something, but it wasn't *fun.* Also, there's no "healer" in this game. There are sets which *have* heals as part of their buffing set, but there's no "healer." Again, perhaps you're thinking of WoW. Frankly, any time I see someone asking for or advertising as a "healer," outside of some *extremely* niche circumstances, I just figure they're new or have no clue what they're doing.
