Probably give it a pass. Not adverse to fantasy at all ( ESO, NWN, others & over 5000 hrs into GW1 (I keep Bouncing off of GW2) but prefer SF--probably have double that into Anarchy Online.) Now if someone did a Shadowrun MMO right I'd be all in. I never played the tabletop but own the books and read about 28 of the novels. I did get all of the Harebrained Schemes ones-- good but not MMO.

I use PC PART PICKER and I recommend it lots! https://pcpartpicker.com/ It's as addictive as the costume generator. 😄

Homecoming hasn't doomed me...YET. Frankly I'm still holding off until the "LEGIT" flag hits. I am having a blast with the costumes and learning the game with low level stuff. In the meantime, I have been doomed by other MMO's. (AO, ESO, Defiance) :D

I also fired up Champions on Friday and... GAH! I don't remember it visually being that bad. Now I never did much with it but have some HOURS in it. CoH's graphics are fine! Other 4X space games I really like: Reach for the Stars (C64) STARS! (win 3.1), Sword of the Stars I, (SOTS 2 had a really rocky launch & while I own it, have done really maybe an hour in it. Its many patches supposedly made it playable), Polaris Sector (on GOG-- kinda pricey), Star Ruler 2, Distant Worlds, Sunless Skies<--Steam Locomotives in SPAAACE!), Endless Space 1 is good but I bounced off of ES2. Steam has 2 huge sales-- their annual winter holiday one and annual summer one. Interspersed with those will be Labor Day, Halloween, US Thanksgiving (Black Friday), US Prez day, & Memorial Day Sales. As Gog has gotten bigger they began doing similar sales & usually trying to upstage Steam by holding theirs a week or 2 earlier.

I also use a trackball and had the same question & figured it out with the help of the other super hero/villains here 😁

Aye, I see it as progress.

DRAT, ran out of pop-corn again. 🙁

Should HC go LIVE live I think an item shop is inevitable. As long as it's Hats, vanity auras, emotes, maybe a few vehicles, an overpowered power or three...okay not that one.

I suspect at this point the HC devs have more then enough suggestions, ideas, complaints, warnings... so lets pile on a few more! 😈 Really minor QoL improvement-- add easy to see grab points for window resizing.

Sips coffee, frowns at the empty pop-corn bowl.

Aye, it was. The title needs a couple words added: "for good". The servers were just shut down suddenly...but for a restart.

I use a Nostromo controller (well now its successor from Razer) with its default WASD setup with a couple-three keys changed. A lot of games, both online & not, use "E" as the use/activation key which I either put at top right or just below it depending on the game.

I find it a little tedious but really recommend it for the more or less instant gratification for one's early gearing up.

Until there's solid info such as "YES, WE HAVE REACHED AN AGREEMENT!" new folks here will continue to bring it up. ...meanwhile, it's time to go make another alt.

Yes, that is what I was bringing up. I think they went after anyone who was paying homage a little too closely to their IP. The fan counter argument was "This is for fun & spreads your brand & people will be all mad at you for being bullies..." to which the lawyers replied "...sets a bad precedent so deal with it...".

No one remembers Freedom Force?

I'm optimistic. The fact that NC hasn't sent a C&D to HC and they're talking says they are just working out the details to me. Wish they'd hurry up though.

SERVER STABILITY! Without it you'll have a City of Ghosts.
