Well, from a solo viewpoint and using the code purely for personal use to a personal SG, I see this as a solution for a non existing problem that has been wooly headed thought through, designed by committee and implimented at best clumsily and at worst badly. PBAOE is just a straw argument. In addition, travel in this game is not playing the game, it is just an enabling support system to get you to where you do play the game (content) We do not need to travel anywhere just to find loot or mine diamonds, if I walk from Atlas to the Hive I do not improve my stamina or walk speed. Travel does nothing else but move me. So if I can get to where I want as fast as possible I get to play more. Nobody is asking you to remove all the other means of doing travel so if you want to be traditional then do not use the code. This game was always about play as you want to, the choice is yours, well used to be.

So from my purely personal viewpoint, “travel” is not and should never be “content”. However we know that when this particular game was originally released that “content” was a bit thin on the ground and so total gameplay time to finish was shorter that seemed ideal. So the solution that the then dev’s used was to use “travel” as a sort of quasi “content”. They built the mission arcs with far flung contacts and thus introduced us to the zone ping pong system. So from one remote corner of say Grandville we get sent to another farthest away corner of Nerva. (sound familiar?) Oh and when you run most of those arcs solo through oro you never get given a cell phone to call home. All that travel time just to have the contact say thank you and report back to the other guy in Grandville. Job done! Well that was all fine and dandy when we and the game was shiny new and exciting. Now after how many years it is just old and annoying. I play most of the time solo and have my own base on each server with all the beacons in place. I have a macro for each base on all my alts so that as and when I swap servers I hit the game running travel wise. So I use my base passcode for my exclusive use and get on with playing the game not using the game. I don’t want to use it to get out of combat I want to use it to get to combat. It is the best transport system ingame which is exactly why the dev’s had it in the first place The benifits of now finally having it for my personal use is a huge QOL change from live. Exploits, I have no idea, just make it unavailable when in combat and leave it at that. Don’t reinvent the wheel.

Hi, spend a fair amount of time ingame and solo and when doing so I like my pet with me for company. However is there anyway to have it walk/run by my side and not a fair way away behind me? A much shorter leash distance before they start to follow would be great so they are at heel. Any ideas gratefully received. Thanks

I always went into RV and spawned the first two AV’s just to save time and then shouted in LFG for Blue/Red AV kill in RV. Usually got a surprising number of invite asks, guess they are badges a number of players are looking to do. However if it was just two of us or perhaps three and we were getting rolfstomped by both AV’s I would kite one to the guard bots at the base and let them take it down. Then we could proper concentrate on the remaining one. We also did this if we had one of the spawned AV kill badge already just to speed it up. That one got kited straight away. And yes we did get ganked by the PvP guys but that is just a suck it up job as the badges are in a legit PvP zone, sighs deeply....... Good luck and fast kills.

Hi, what mode are you running in, windowed or desktop? I was having symptoms that sound very like the ones you are having but only when I ran in windowed mode, switching to desktop immediately returned to lightening fast login and zoning. My rig is cutting edge so it was not hardware or ISP provision related. It was a pain because I do run two accounts so I can PL my own alts and desktop was a no go. I did keep swapping back to Windowed just to try and then one day when swapped it ran as fast as in desktop? Touch wood I have had no problems since. I never tracked down why but I do wonder if MS did a background patch to windows 10 that somehow also sorted out CoH snag. But best of luck to you and hopes for a fix soon.

Hi Stalkers on the team get a temp power Captain Mako Stealth that allows you to pass through the force field barred doors either side of the machine and then when you are inside you can turn off the machinery. I thought that doing that would halt the constant spawns but that could just be nonsense in which case I have no idea what the temp and using it actually does. Over to you wise heads 😇

Hi, The Enhancement screen! Firstly to be able to see the chat box whilst I am using it so I can moniter my private messages and LFG shouts. Secondly to be able to select multipe slots to delete/ replace new enhancers. (like selecting non contiguous items in windows) Being able to then drag those selected to the delete bin or to replace them with better enhancers. Thirdly be able to “order sort” slotted enhancers in a power by drag and drop same as our power trays. Fourth to sort the powers in primary and secondary specifically for PB’s and WS’s into form groups so Nova or Dwarf and Human only powers are seperated so selecting a new power choice is much easier when levelling up. Similiar to the Veats pages with seperate sections for the build process. (I am aware the the Khelds were originally special and needed the player to have at least one lvl 50 alt to unlock them and so perhaps more wise in build power selection) but now a shiny new player can roll one from day one a little clarity in power usage when in differing forms would be a huge help even for the more experienced player base.

Well Uk time atm means we get the reset every tuesday at 13:30 london time, lasts for approx 45 minutes. It is an easy kill when you do get it. Also I have asked for a GM help to reset the Brickstown event which gets bugged often and have always had that done in a couple of hours so don’t be worried about asking for the Kings to be reset. Just check back every couple of hours till they get it sorted.

Hi Pengy, just sublimely perfect and will be a proper help to me in my future game time. I used a couple of macro’s LT and ULT because old brain 🙂 So many thanks for your time and wise heads and because you deserve them 👍👍👏👏😀 Cheers J

Hello, this might just not be possible but if so help please. I would like either a bind or macro that locks/unlocks all the powers in my trays. At present I have to click menu options general misc and then the Lock powers in tray to enable/disable that option. So four clicks and then a scroll to bottom of selection group and then a final click. Move new power to prefered slot and then repeat above to lock in position. Due to old fingers and brain I need to keep the powers locked when in combat as I am prone to dragging them in the heat of battle and die a lot🤕 Will really appreciate any advise/help you can give, thank you.

Hi, when transitioning from human to nova or dwarf on my PB the whole screen is filled with bright (blinding) white light. It lasts for a few seconds and completely obscures my alt. Zoned into a surprise hot door during a mish in FF today and when the white effect cleared I was truly dead. The same effect happens on my WS but the blackness just seems less dense and intrusive and so much less of a problem. Is there any way I can stop or reduce the transition effect on the PB? All thoughts/suggestions comments will be gratefully received. It is actually affecting the will to play the alt atm and as it is an active triform build it occurs very regularly. Thanks 👍

Hi, I remember when my son first left the UK to live/work in Chicago and during his first call home he said “They only have two seasons in Chicago, Winter and Construction” 😀 And years before that, I worked with a bunch of great guys from USA in the middle east and spent many a happy afternoon in the office explaining that we had 12 pennies to the shilling and 20 shillings to the pound so 240 pennies to the pound. But that we also had 16 ounces to the pound and 14 pounds to the stone and 112 pounds to the hundredweight and 20 hundredweight to the ton. So my weight then lol was 12 stone 7 pounds and 9 ounces. (Don’t ask about now! Eeek)

Hi, yes am 71 years and 7 months and 19 days and counting 🧓🏻 Just been ingame and hit 50 on my PB who now joins the other 26 in the “50’s club” section of my SG. 😷 Cheers

Agree, had this happen to me on a couple of alts over the last few months. Had to do a drop event and relog and pick up again and hope I got a different door. Thing is you don’t realise what s happening at first and spend ages trying to clear the longbow assuming it is part of the alignment mission and those guys hit hard.

Hi, I now use Discord a lot ingame and every time I do itrials or Mo non itrial Tf’s But, I only ever listen, so join the relevant discord channel then join the voice team but keep mic muted. Actually I don’t even have a mic to use. This way I hear all the directions and banter needed. In fact I see the usual players using voice, probably about 10% of those in the league and all the rest in but muted. You can see the muted icon next to player name. No stress, no noise and I use one of the earphones only and have the other ear for “real life” sounds. A number of the leaders doing Mo’s and itrials actually suggest joining as a non talking listner. The leaders know you are listening and will occassionally ask for help by player name so I just jump to it. I also type in chat as and when. Try it, it is fine.

What about one pack when you complete all blue side content that is available via Oro and one for the same completion of the redside content. I have done all blue and am at approx 70% redside and it is a lot of regular game play so not a quick freebie. I also would prefer an accolade for each side completion but a pack would still be okay.

10 February 1949.....am ingame every day and have a lot of alts and 1519 badges. Also still a competition Ballroom and Latin dancer. Age is of no importance.. unless you are a cheese or a claret! 🕺🏼🕺🏼😃😃

Nooooo...you are not “only a cook”, you are “a cook”, you stand and serve, you are a hero! Thank you.

Hello, am going to try and organise a regular Swiss Draw event as and when and on different servers and need help with a bind/ macro please. I want to press a key or macro button to say in the selected chat (local or in the event popup chat line) a message something like “The nominated winner this round is (whoever is in number two spot of the team list), do NOT kill (whoever is in the number two list of the team).” The bit in brackets will be that alts name! I can then invite in the order I want to have the badge each run and because as event holder I will always be in position one, so two is the nominated player. Happy if this works better as two seperate macro/binds or whatever. Thanks guys in advance for any help.

Hi, this is all you need and what I took inspiration from: forums - excelsior- tuesday night arena badge farms posted by voltor.

Hi, been working on both those myself just yesterday. First there are two “ads” septad and pentad needing seven and five members. Either awards the same Pentad badge so obviously go for the five member run. The swiss draw is an eight member job. Each member gets the badge if they win so you need to run the draw eight times fir all to get it. Each run has three matches , 8 down to 4, 4 down to 2, final down to winner. So 8 runs of 3 matches for team completion. I assemble in the D so any level and any AT of any faction can come and participate. You need to take charge and nominate the winner of each run and I set up the arena match and I invite each member so I can ensure the chosen winner is always in second place on the list, cause it can bug out if not. You (the star holder) will always be in position one in list. Just make sure you keep shouting who is nominated and not to kill that member! Best of luck 👍😀

Hi, currently the new calender is showing event times converted to my local time which is great. However at present the weekly event scheduled for 8:30pm ET (MSR) every thursday is showing the correct time for GMT (01:30) but the incorrect date ie it says the 16th but in UK it will be the 17th! I am just trying to work out what to do for the 24 hours early assembly time in the D, any bar tender vacancies in there atm? So short sum up, great calender, great time conversion, incorrect date conversion. Cheers

Thank you for the info, this will help take the anxiety about getting called to help at real short notice out of the badge attempt. Fingers crossed it all goes smoothly, thanks again 👍

Hello, when you accept and start the badge sequence first mission from Pither, do you go back to him between missions or is the next one “chained and so auto started” and so on for all six missions? I guess what I am really asking is do you have to do all his missions for the badge in one sitting or can you take time in between? Thanks
