Good news is you can resummon the Voltaic Sentinel in 10 seconds.
... not the point. (See the first sentence about it.)

-perception is wholly unfair in pve without something to boost. Can you at least make it work like ours does so if they attack we can still see them?
This is nothing new. Fortunatas, the Tarantula Mistresses, etc. all have done this for years.
Pop a yellow, use Tactics - and some armor (and other?) sets all counter it.

As I'm reading it, /powexec location (or whatever that command is) won't let you teleport somewhere you can't see. If you manually select it (to places you can see with the camera and place a cursor,) you can still get there.
As for the rest...
Still unhappy with Volt. Sentinel being turned into an offensive, can get detoggled when mezzed toggle. Kills the usefulness to me on anything but a sentinel, and given my first 50 (remade here) was an elec/elec blaster from way back in the day was an elec/elec blaster, and it's part of what *made* the character who she was, it disappoints me more than it sounds like it warrants. Love absolutely everything else so far, really. (Preparing for the inevitable "ur rong iz awesome" responses to actually having an opinion and not liking this change.) The VS change just affects characters near and dear to me and was (IMHO) not needed, so it just personally has a much bigger impact.

Yes or No? Compatible with game and Tequila launcher? HC launcher?
Waited for the first patch so it wouldn't have the scheduler/performance issue with AMD CPUs. I updated one PC (my laptop) to it. The game works and runs fine with it. It's not a major change as far as the OS and software's concerned. I didn't need to reinstall anything for it to work.
Usage wise... eh. I gave the somewhat revamped start menu as much time as I could, then dropped Start11 on it for a less annoying menu. I've got a couple of other systems that could run it, but I'm waiting a bit. Honestly, as far as everyday use is concerned, it feels like they just slapped a new coat of paint on.

Orrrrrr you could select the active mission yourself, which the rest of us do.
Yes. Or think we do. Then fire off the transporter, to notice that "wait, that didn't take the selection for some reason."
A check isn't unreasonable. You could even have an option to skip the check, just like we do for other things (like selling/deleting salvage used in recipes, deleting enhancements, etc.)

I am not saying they are the same. The ahole needs to go. But rules someone posted said sexual related matters that aren't harassment are also against the rules. Unless what you are suggesting is selective enforcement of rules.
No, it's a bit of common sense. Unless you want to find either a bunch of mods to monitor chat 24/7 (or a bunch of bots that can and will make mistakes, and do so frequently,) have them monitor *private* chat and more.
Would you want to play that game?
How strict would you want them to be? Any mention of anything that could be remotely sexual? Would you like to have bots ban people (because it's the only real way to do it) for throwing a cigarette butt to the ground, because "butt" was what someone decided was a sexual-activity flag and it autobans, or someone with a WWII vet character talking about the Enola Gay, because gay also has a sexual preference meaning? Because that's the sort of thing that happens - and not always with 'bots. Hell, just look at our chat "censoring" through live and now. It's had some ... odd... choices.
Like I said. Same rules as real life. Consensual sexual activity with your partner in private? No, you don't want the government monitoring it. It's fine. Same activity in the middle of a restaurant? It gets... frowned on. At least in most.

so the offender is in violation as well as the sexual innuendo role players.
No.
While we don't have a - say - chat log or exact description of what happened, it sounds like the person described by the original poster is repeatedly making unwanted harassing comments.
People involved in ERP with their characters are ... well, basically having to follow the same rules as real life. Keep it consensual and private. In the bedroom, you, your partner, the trampoline and feathers are fine. In the train station, not so much. (And not just because it's kind of low to use the trampoline effectively.)

Non-transparent, better defined, t-shirt option for female body type.
Quite a few things for females that don't look painted on. Sometimes painted badly. (Bikini tops, sport tops, etc. )
Fingers.

Yep, I am a huge fan of recoloring powers and noting in your bio that it is something else if you wish.A good number of my characters do that.
It's much too limiting to force yourself into what the game thinks the power should be.
But I don't begrudge the game for having power lore. Just like any lore in game, it should be used as a *possible* creative shared reference. Use it if you wish.
Not something that limits creativity.
Oh, I do. Before we could recolor, "swarm of nanites" was a popular option.
Starting from a point of "THIS is where your powers come from" (in the case of everything but epics, since they *are* tied to their storylines) is just ... nails on a chalkboard to me, though.

I imagine they are either just trying to be helpful or like having people see how OP they are in a mission tailored to their abilities.
Or just like having people around to BS with. *shrugs* I've heard the equivalent of "I'm farming, looking for people to chat with while getting levels" a number of times.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't they different Rikti factions fighting against each other?
Not there.
There are a few places where it happens - as Rudra mentioned, it happens on ambushes. It'll happen on the very first mission from Levantra, too, where you... *sigh* save Fusionette and Faultline. I've had existing Rikti take on the raid leader or the ambushes. It'll happen in the "Defend Portal Corp" mission (where you take out the rikti inside a Portal building, then go outside - when you save the adepts, ambushes spawn, and they'll get attacked sometimes.)
It's not just there, either - there are times as a Kheldian we'll have a Quantum or Void hunter spawn (I think in the middle of Longbow, typically) and they'll get attacked.
Not sure what flags them, and it's definitely not all - or even most - ambushes.

While not "demon" in the normal sense, the default explanation for Dark powers is Negative energy from the Netherworld dimension.
https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/Multiverse... and of all of them, that bit of "it comes from here" has *always* bugged me. Sort of like the Well being the "source of Incarnate powers" and you having to decide fast or slow to avoid it trying to control you.
I mean, sure, easy to ignore (and I tend to,) but ... rrrrrrrgh... *recolors dark armor to tan and calls it sand or dust just to spite the description.*

Why is the END bar blue? Seriously, who decided THAT was the appropriate color for Endurance?
Blame mana.
Besides, it's hard to put a bar like that in paisley.

No, worse than that.
After they get PL'd to 50, after they get the perfect Alpha-God build from the forums, then they play a little while and then come to the forums and post "This game is too easy, brah! Nerf players! Nerf softcap! Nerf IOs. Nerf whateverelseIthinkistheproblem!"
You think that's new players complaining how cakewalk-easy the game's gotten, huh...

So. Get screenshots of of the in-game text/chat window.
All this.
Suggestion for this is to turn cht logging on. You'll get a text file that way.
If you want to screenshot chat (or, for less annoying things, like mission clues, bios, etc) -
/screenshotui 1 so it grabs the UI.
Take screenshot.
/screenshotui 0 to turn off the UI grabs.
You can even bind them.

What's so hard to remember about "Enhancement Converter" or "Inanimate Carbon Rod"? I suppose it would be somewhat more difficult to use that method to post recipes and enhancements, but those aren't usually the sort of thing you'd post in bulk.
Some of the things you'd think would be blindingly obvious to post actually have other names internally - maybe from a last minute rename or something. (See slow/snare....)
I could see /ahget, maybe, but given even from your original post you're saying "the auction house interface would have to be open," I'm ... kind of not seeing an advantage, really. Plus, given some of the items also have levels, on top of quantity and price, I could see some serious mistakes being made that are a little easier to parse when you have the AH interface.
A more limited set of functions I could probably see, and they've kind of been requested before. /ahsell salvage common all 10, for instance, to just dump all your common salvage on the AH at 10 inf to clear out inventory. And yes, that could be macro'd I suppose, but I don't particularly see harm in that.
I just think the execution of what you're describing could be problematic (and cause more headaches with support tickets) if you got more detailed.
3 hours ago, UltraAlt said:It is automating part of the game.
Are you saying that the auction house isn't part of the game?
I'm sorry, but the OP's right - this is a kind of weak argument against. It's like saying /em sit instead of going through the menu to pick a sit emote is "automating part of the game." It's not macroing multiple attacks or playing the game without someone there. They'd still be there typing in the commands (or hitting a macro key if there's something specific they'd do frequently, like the /ahsell salvage common thing I suggested above.) So, yes, they'd still be "playing the game."
We already have slash command alternatives to quite a few common actions, from opening specific windows to chatting to yes, firing off, toggling and detoggling powers. Unless you're trying to suggest that those are also "automating" the game, you'll have to explain exactly how you think these commands would be any different.
I'd also suggest looking through the current slash commands list. I see similar commands on there, like /architect_claim_tickets # (to automatically claim a number of architect tickets,) /dialoganswer (yes/no) - another text (and macro-able) option instead of clicking, quite a bit of SG management that doesn't need you to open the interface and more. Nothing besides the target (the auction house) of what the OP's asking for is new in concept.

I'm brainstorming a new character with an adult horror foundation that involves Demons and Hell along with twisted rituals and malevolent intent.
Sounds like somewhere I used to work...
But GVT pretty much has it, as far as "canon." I mean, "Demon" sort of falls under "general description of probably malevolent extraplanar entities." There's noting saying the judeo-christian concept(s) of "hell" don't exist, and plenty of people who play with those interpretations of heaven, hell, angels, demons, and other related beings. But we also know of other gods and realms in COH, as well.
If you want to go with a "this interpretation of hell, its hierarchy, denizens, exactly as described here," go for it. If you want to call it a place ruled by someone named Frank where they play nothing but techno-country-rap... it's another version in another shard/world/dimension.
Go nuts. :)

Are you talking graphically "I become visible for a moment" or "Mobs suddenly see me, stealth radius drops" for a moment?

They're actually trained *to* 50, first?
(I know, but basic question out of the way first. "My screen's dark" always gets "is the power on" first.... )

Because the game doesn't start at 50+, and you still have 18/12 more lovely levels to go when you get your T9 at 32/38.
Yes, I'm aware. I even make mention of that in my post... *in what you quoted.*

As it was -- if I recall correctly -- the leader would kick everyone, log off, and go play some WoW.
Missed opportunities.
I can't say I've ever had this happen. Possibly because when someone would call out a quantum or void, I wouldn't be hiding in the corner. Those were *my* meat... I had quantum, void and cyst kill counts in bios for quite a while, 'til they got nerfed down to being just extra XP.

Sounds like that's a "you" thing.
I'm not saying that to be dismissive. I'm saying it more in the sense of it's limitations or preferences you have for yourself (not a bad thing, not liking content or being bored stiff with it isn't bad, it happens,) and so you're really going to be the only one to answer if it's worth it for you or not.
And yeah, I don't like "anyone on the team dies, the badge is lost" badges. I don't really badge myself, but I avoid master runs all together because the added bit of stress from that sucks the fun out of it for me. I can do everything right, and still get blindsided, get killed from a teammate's actions or just the RNG not liking me that particular hour and cost everyone the badge run? I'll skip it.
But for your initial question? For me it's still worth it. I enjoy *characters,* RP, and more, and I run content up and down the level ranges and in AE. I can't answer if it's worth it for you. Only you can.
