"Does it look fun?" Yes - taken No - skipped. I don't honestly care about set bonuses, capping, perma-whatever, etc. though. Unneeded and generally annoying. It's rare that I have any sort of "chain" in mind (the only exception I can think of being "huntsman" builds - WAWG, venom, then AOEs, and I want them handy and cycling.) The closest I come to a "mule" is looking for powers that don't really need slotting and maybe putting them off 'til the mid-30s or later when I'll just want slots in existing powers. (Typically aim/buildup type powers, Nebulous Form, etc.)

I'm seeing this as needing some nested menus, but that's not a big deal: "Tell me about slotting" - What are enhancements - What do colors/borders mean - What are IOs --Recipes and crafting --Categories --Set bonuses --"Rule of 5" (also mentioned under set bonuses, but someone may want to look here specifically if they've heard it mentioned.) "Tell me how to get powers" - Primary and secondary sets - Pools - APPS/Epics and Patron pools - Training and respecs .... and so forth. Make it a community effort, because there's a lot of potential information to drop here.

Everlasting, claimed items yesterday and today without issue. Haven't opened any packs, though, that I can think of. I'd assume this would affect winter packs as well?

The Sands of Mu temp power is prety much my go-to for this, too. Not affected by the crash at all. Edit: Of everything, I wouldn't mind damage in hand clap - even minor - for the sake of a little earlier AOE. *shrug* There are... *checks* two, apparently, procs that might give some, and that's it.

Note the timestamps. This was going on from the point he was spawned, before anyone engaged him, through the team building process and through the fight. Just rapid-fire through all of his lines with a continual stream of dialog above his head. Not sure if it's specific to just this one instance of the spawn or if it's been ongoing.

Hasn't SEGS been talked about since ... live? I know I've heard it for quite a while. Sort of like "for the full experience, play it on ReactOS" (which has also been plodding along forever.)

*clicks on advisor.* *waits* *waits* *waits* Advisor: "Huh. OK then."

Yeah, I'd have to agree. As a source for general information that's not given elsewhere (ok, or given but that people seem to ignore...) from the very basic "What are enhancements" and "What do these colors mean" on up, but "evaluating a build" ... eh. (For instance, "Multi slotting brawl" is not common, sure, but I've seen people deliberately do it for the heck of it, usually piling procs on.) Now, some Q&A type things, like "I'm having endurance problems, what can I do" that can give some common building or slotting strategies? Sure. But to stand there and have something scan your build and judge it? Nah.

Issue 5 was released in 2005 and introduced Croatoa. I'm not aware of any server that's based on something that old. (And no, even hiding zones, all of red and gold side, etc. wouldn't be "i5.")

Feature request: Let me change / scale the font size in the mod list/descriptions. Thing's fine on my main PC - 32" screen after all - but I hopped in COH on my laptop (15" screen,) realized I didn't have vidiotmaps installed there, grabbed COH Modder and... dang, can't read a thing (and ctrl-scroll doesn't affect the size.)

If I want to play the game, I'm in the game. I then look for other people who are also in the game and interested in playing the same thing, through either friend/global friend lists, SG rosters or LFG (or just screaming in broadcast.) No "Sure, I'll play, I'm 15 minutes away at the store though." Or suddenly finding the game won't launch or whatever. Why the *heck* would I use another program? The uses I have for discord are: - Supplemental RP - General BS. - Teaming wise? Typically just "Hey, not going to be on next week" to give the SG a heads up so they know what's going on. The closest I come to "teaming" information is something like using it on my phone to mention the power or internet in my home went out if a friend or my SG mates are expecting me.

Not that I recall.

All the time playing since I3, I honestly never was the target of any of that on my Khelds. As for the OP - yeah, I'd love to have those back.

Yeah, it's just not being able to make *other* characters the set's missing on in there. :)

Back in the early days of PVP, I had people *hate* my energy/energy brute. They couldn't see her, couldn't teleport her, and *every* attack had a stun slotted in it that would take it. Then we had things like billion-inf IO builds and i13 come in. *shrug* But it was fun, and that's where I go to when thinking of stuns.

>.> One of the (in?)famous dev posts...

Powers tend to lag pretty far behind in AE. Depends on dev time. Just in general, I'd like AE updated to match existing powersets, as an aside. And, yeah. Time Melee paired with a Time Armor would be interesting. (By "paired," honestly, I mean more "released at the same time," not so much "need to have the two together.")

Honestly, I don't think there'd be much confusion between Absorb (covers part of the name/HP bar) and this sort of untouchable (entire bar goes grey.) It's fairly distinct in the phased-out sections mentioned before.

(Sorry, yeah, big image dump, but still.)

Fan site kit wallpapers... the largest resolutions of them. When's the last time you saw these?

Ooh. So apparently I did get some of what that's from. Looks like an old (I'm guessing, from the group names - there's another page that lists the Carnies as "Soul Scavengers") fan page, or fan page with dev/official page info... Not an official page, looks like someone gathering info as th elinks want to go to a (probably long dead) Verizon page.

Wasn't sure where else to put these, I didn't even recall these. But they ended up in a backup folder of mine... I know I have more somewhere. I think I even have a copy of the old fansite kit.

Currently: I can stand at range and taunt. I do not end up in the middle of a mob as a result, aggroing the lot of them. OP's suggestion: Taunt, wind up teleported (or whatever) there in the middle of a mob I don't want to be in the middle of. Yes, that is *objectively worse.* Saying "it doesn't affect anybody's build" is a flat out lie and you should be (but I can tell won't be) ashamed, as to get *original, useful* functionality back would require respeccing, dropping that power and going into a power pool - if they can fit that into their build. Yes, that's "objectively different." So would making Confront into a power that turns your character into a flowerpot for five minutes. Frankly, the second would be more useful, as it would at least be amusing during RP. "Different" is not "better" or even "more interesting." Also, no.

To change it in a way that makes it *objectively worse.* I, currently, can taunt one problematic mob out of a group. I do not need to take a power pool to do that. Turning this into a "closer" putting me *into the middle of the mob I'm trying to remove a problematic single mob from* makes that impossible. It is objectively worse. If I wanted to move into the middle of the group, I would use... sprint. Or my travel power. Or combat teleport, which, if I feel is useful, I can take out of a power pool *and use as the situation demands.* The nice thing is, my way... affects *nobody's current build.* And keeps a useful power useful. And no, I don't care what 95% of scrappers do or don't do. Loud people insist you MUST be perma-this, capped-that, take hasten in every build, etc. too. Strangely, the game is perfectly playable and enjoyable without any of that. I don't care what any of *them* say, either. Frankly, sounds like the OP needs to stop worrying about what other games do and play COH.

Read your own sentence a few times until you achieve understanding. Then re-read the *multiple* posts explaining the loss of functionality for something much *less* useful, and *why* it's much less useful. Bonus points for reading my prior post re: the results of the live devs wanting to remove powers from patron pools. What's funny is the position of your post, vs the post right above yours... You: RIGHT ABOVE THIS POST: "I haven't seen it" doesn't mean "people don't use it." Which also means the suggestion *would be removing functionality people are using actively.* Including me. Me having to completely redo builds for someone whose argument is "well, other games have it?" No.
