The problem is that cookie cutters can't really have too much fine detail. You might be better off with a generic male/female/huge form, then decorating them accordingly with icing. A better approach might be to try and come up with super-deformed cookie cutters, or maybe just make AT icon cookies...

Now I'm picturing Count Orlock signing the lead for "Baby it's cold outside" with some hapless Film Noir heroine...

Maybe take a relatively unused zone, like Kallisti Warf, and trigger an end-of-beta-like invasion of old school Rikti. Alternatively, could they utilize something like Ouroboros to allow us to go back and see the 1st Rikti invasion, and fight along side all the signature heroes?

It's good to have a stable of characters to switch between, in order to see which you most enjoy playing and to know what it's like for other ATs, while you're playing other characters. That being said, I do think there's a difference between having dozens or hundreds of characters that you aren't really invested in, and those handful of characters you truly connect with and enjoy playing...

For me, it's an ironic mirror-image type thing: I played CoH from about 2004 to 2009, then came back for a little when it went F2P. Before my return, I bought a lifetime subscription to Champions Online, which was a huge waste of money, looking back at it. And here I am, spending a lot of my gaming time playing CoH all over again, and still hardly ever check in on CO. Heck, I played Neverwinter for a good bit as well, and have all but abandoned that game after some of the changes they made there...

I use an "attack defensive" macro to command my pets to attack only what I want. I also use lalt+lbutton to issue a move-passive command so my pets go exactly where I want and do not attack under any circumstances. That being said, unless you are using your pets as the front-liners, it can be sufficient to send them in and issue an offensive-attack commands, so they can do their thing and you can focus on your secondary. What's crucial, though, is to be hyper aware of what you and your team's goals are and not just fall back to letting your pets run wild at all times...

I use the "salute" emote for things like this and to represent my character raising or lowering a visor on their helmet. In a broader sense, and given the more limited articulation of the character models' hands, I don't know if you could properly represent the pinching/grabbing aspect of a proper hat tip...

Watched it just the other day - it was weird but entertaining. I wonder just how quickly they banged that one out...

The GUI for the game imparts a much heavier strain than it should. That being said, the only piece of advice I can offer is to systematically turn the various graphical features to their lowest, (or off), until you find which specific one was the culprit...

I have a kin/elec called "The Sap Master". It's a very fun combo, and the voltaic sentinel allows me to still do some DPS while simultaneously focusing on my buffs/debuffs & healing.

A simple egg wash would probably suffice to give it a nice golden color.

Sometimes I'll hang in efficient mode if I don't want to slow up my rate of attack or detoggle any powers. I generally pick powers, including incarnates, more for theme than absolute effectiveness, so your experiences may vary...

It looked better before the gold icing, IMHO.

Most likely that character was bugged. Was that attempt made with the same character you intiially tried?

Can you load any other character, perhaps even a new one, into Everlasting? What if you create a villain instead? Do you have any others on Everlasting that you left in some other zone? Did you try transferring that character back?

This should probably go in the help & support section. Just to be certain, can you log into the other servers and/or have you conducted basic troubleshooting on your end? The server status page shows all shards as up.

It's just that I don't picture Doc Holiday spitting globs of poison at enemies. Maybe just dip into the medicine and experimentation pools, instead?

Unless you want to preemptively strike with a powerful attack, (like from stealth, for instance, which is why stalkers eschewed it for BU). That being said, as a maintain whilst in the midst of combat, FU all the way!

I never played the games, but there seems to be a lot of lore surrounding FNAF; Does the movie go into any of that? Also, didn't Nick Cage do some sort of gory parody of the concept of killer animatronics at a kids' pizzeria & arcade?

How would you go about creating a character whose main schtick is inflicting/cursing enemies with bad luck? I was thinking maybe a mind/dark controller and rationalizing it as you cursing the enemy with weariness, clumsiness, and maybe blindness? Your thoughts? Thanks for reading!

Most of my characters are magic or tech. A close second is mutant, followed by natural, with science being a distant 5th. I find tech or magic far easier to explain away. To me, "mutant" means you always had that ability/potential, whereas science is some process/accidental exposure that causes the powers. "Natural" is the toughest, because it already stretches credulity to believe any CoH character could *not* rely on magic, tech, or some other form of enhancement to survive. The only exception would be that I consider "Natural" to encompass any traits that a character would have due to their species. So for instance, an alien that can project energy because of their innate characteristics would be natural, and even something like a demon whose abilities are due to their demonic nature, (and not explicitly learned magic/alchemy), would also be natural...

I mean, a level 1 Kheldian could run to PD, talk to Null, then go through the villain stuff as if they were created there from jump street...

Got mine in. Thanks CoH:HC staff for all you do!

Are there that many missions where you are supposed to be undercover that would warrant this type of implementation? Further, the special anti-Kheldian enemies have been scaled-back quite a bit since the HEATs were introduced, (AFAIK, Void Hunters and Cysts don't spawn in regular content and the quantum damage was changed from a special damage type to negative energy).

Hope you meant "8GB", but either way, glad to hear you got yourself up-and-running! Yeah, those live distro's of Linux can be very handy!
