Some characters exist as a bio before I hit the character creator. Some have been around since live and .... need more than the editor's limit. Some are just mess-around, this-sounds-like-fun characters (or utility characters, like base builders) that don't need one. Some have one I just haven't written up yet. Really depends on the character. *shrug*

I'm ... pretty sure that was on live? I don't think I have any old screenshots of the character select screen...

Yes, this happened back on live. And there were some complaints about it back on live, since they and the Council will fight each other, which makes "defeat X council" missions a bit more tedious. You'll also find references to (and missions with, directly or indirectly) their leader, the Center.

Yeah. These things are a waste of time right now. Drop the HP and resists. And/or give me some temp power bombs (either at the start of the mission or found on enemies around them) to blow them up.

I'd be for moving down the level the patron arcs become available to 33 so they're already unlocked (if you haven't joined someone else's arc) at 35, other than that...

The people who want to get PLd will get PLd, even if you unlocked all primary and secondary powers at level 1. And it doesn't matter if they get PL'd or not, frankly. Some don't want to play characters until they're "complete" at 50 and fully IOd, T4'd, etc. The people who want to play characters through lower levels for whatever reason (like me) are going to do so. Personally, I don't think it's needed. There are some powers that could be rearranged to be *available* earlier, but that's a powerset-by-powerset project.

Can't hop in game right now. Can't say I've seen this - but does this also happen opening up the autosave above it? It should also be saved in your COH (or homecoming) directory as a .storyarc file - might want to attach it. I can't think of anything that would *do* that in the file but it couldn't hurt to see if someone else sees the same thing with the same file. (And the file itself would be there to examine.)

Man, I'm all over the place. Sometimes I'll have the *character,* but not really a costume and they'll end up in a generic looking thing or T-shirt and jeans. Sometimes I'll be doing soemthing else, see a piece and go "Ooh... I could use that for..." and end up with a new character. Soemtimes it all just comes up naturally. And ... while I don't think I have any unused costume files, some totally deserve that "clothes horse" badge. If they had an in-game walk in closet, it would be filled plus some.

If you're level 35+, you should get an arbiter (rein?) as a contact. He's standing right outside the big tower in Grandville. He'll have you look at the arbiter statues inside and pick one. You'll then have that patron as a contact. Do their first arc. You'll be awarded a badge. You can then use any of the patron power pools (... assuming you don't have an anciliary pool already picked, if you do, you'll need to respec.) If you're under 35, people will often advertise they're running the patron arcs, or are on the last mission or two of them. Join in. You can get the badge, but won't be able to pick the powers 'til 35. For Mu, it's Scirocco.

1. On certain maps (Kings Row, Talos, Oakes, etc.) there'll be a dot that shows an entrance for pocket D - typically has a bunch of pinkish Pocket D "posters" around it. 2. Go to a base portal, use either your own base if it has it set up or one of your server's transport-hub type bases (such as zone-8888 on Everlasting) to go to Pocket D. (While there, once you change your alignment, go to the monkey fight club, go upstairs, snag the explore badge - think the one on the truck works, too - to add it as a destination for the long range teleporter.)

Option 1 - Do tip missions. You should have villainous options. Do 10 and a morality mission (villain,) get merits, be evil. Option 2 - go to Pocket D, go to the truck redside, talk to Null the Gull to change your alignment.

Given we don't have examples, I'd say you're making assumptions about the poster. Yes, they could be more annoyed at certain names that happen to hit some sore spot with them, and they could ignore them and "should let the kids have their fun." Or the kids could be spraying graffiti and leaving bags of dog crap on their property, in which case they have every right to complain. We don't have the information either way. No need to get judgey on the OP. If the OP thinks there's a problem, they should go to the GMs.

Figure out a way to train architects to design sensibly laid out office buildings and warehouses.

I can't remember the last time I was even sent to a police chief...

Honestly, I'm not sure. I know there are badges for them, which I would assume would be unaffected, but couldn't recall if there were specific missions asking for types versus groups, so...

Eh, I don't think I'd want them deleted. I would want them looked at - the ones in Croatoa (specifically looking for fir Bolg in the Misty Wood... think that's Nemmer's mission) has always been problematic mostly due to the "vagueness" of where the hunt area starts and where they spawn. I wouldn't argue with the "point system" mentioned above (other than those specificially requesting a hunt of, say, fake nems or bosses, as I could see that getting gummed up) or perhaps long strings of repeated hunt missions.

I want to say a very basic one existed back on live, but I'm not 100% on that, nor do I remember who set it up. I mean, *technically* you could do it in Notepad, if you wanted - they are just text files, after all - but I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

Mm. Most of the videos I can think of are either the early-early days (as in "alpha stage") or music video type machinima...

Pfft. Just fill a tub with cold water and put them in there! Water cooling's a thing, right? >.> (And yeah, thanks for hosting...)

TO me this would just overcomplicate *local* chatting in a group - 20 feet is *not* that far. If you're looking at chat vs broadcast vs team vs supergroup - which, yes, all together can get to be a bit much - filtering out by tabs can help. Or using team, if you've got a specific group you're talking to.

Likely with the latest update that added the "upgrade" button in the corner of the combination screen.

It's the first. I even specifically said in the original post, I don't have a problem with the pricing, just the availability. I'm fine with them being at the (roughly) 7-15m they seem to run between. There are a few that have 1-2 in stock out there that someone has listed far higher, apparently (I've bid over that range, so I'm guessing over 20m.) I'm not throwing INF that's that far over the average - I'll buy two superpacks and convert at that amount. ;) (Which, with the number of bids in - and I figure half at least are lowballing - I don't seem to be the only one thinking that.) And yes, I know they can be purchased with merits. Personally I'd purchase a winter one on a 50, catalyze (since my 50s tend to have plenty of catalysts drop) and sell the superior if I'm burning 100 merits on that, then do the superpack-and-conversion. Even buying directly with merits, though - or buying superpacks, converting and hoarding - that doesn't help the AH supply question I was considering. Which, after all, was the point of asking the question. ;)

Running the Atlas arc, contact Officer Fields, second last mission ("Push back the Vahzilok near Victoria Manuel's theater.") There's some phasing, I think, but typically the Vahz respawn here quickly. (Near the theater, sloped "brick" surface, -715, -23, -2356.) They aren't. I found one pair on a nearby rooftop, defeated those. Defeated another pair on the far side. But there's just nothing respawning where they *should* be to finish this arc. I'm solo, so it's not someone else's phasing on the team, and I've just hovered here for several minutes before (and while) writing this post. They'll respawn whether you are there or not - they need to for this arc. *edit* Took a flight from there to the Atlas globe and back and - one set respawned. So it looks like they're spawning back *really* slowly. (Server: everlasting)

And not just NC. IIRC the third novel (covering the Rikti War) didn't get out because the first two didn't sell all that well. But yeah, getting the rights is a big thing. Yes, she did. Secret World Chronicles. Four books published, I think. I know of one other fan that did that and got published, too - Paige Orwin, with the Interminables and Immortal Architects. Hasn't managed to get a third published in the series, last I knew. Mentions COH specifically in describing the books, as I recall, though the setting is wholly her own, not really referencing COH (at least directly.) And there are a couple of other fans I've heard of that published superhero-related stuff, but my brain's not pulling them up - and I couldn't say how COH influenced those were.

... you know, I have "stages" of "would I work if I won the lottery." 1-5 million - yes. Taxes take a chunk, pay everything off, nice house, car, etc. Work because I enjoy it, not because I have to. 6-... 30-ish million - Retire. Travel. Do stuff. Take care of siblings/etc. Any "work" would be projects I want to do - researching specific aircraft or events, that sort of thing. Over that? I'd end up working because I'd be starting businesses and such. Stuff that could be fun for myself and others, screw profitable, I'll be dead in the next 30 years anyway and I can't take it with me.
