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!

Inspired by g.Lich, I present to you "The Sapphire-Skull":

Unless you know specifically that it is the drive that's bad, I wouldn't try putting a new HDD/SSD in the old laptop just yet. Assuming that the main body of the old laptop is in fact still in good working order, I'd try and weigh how much it'd cost you to upgrade the RAM vs how much of a performance increase it'll get you. If it had a Celeron w/ 4GB of RAM, and unless you're in love with it, it's probably not worth investing more money in. If it's an i5 or better, then going to 8GB or even 16GB may be worth it, (again assuming everything else is in good working order).

Does nobody just run a quick AE arc to buy the common salvage for a pittance? Though, even at an inflated price, 1 level 50 minion should get you a few dozen pieces of common salvage...

Your characters are saved server-side. If you're concerned about your screenshots, saved binds, etc, you could always remove the hard drive/SSD and either install it in a new chassis or put it in an external enclosure or something like a SATA to USB adapter to access then copy over those files.

I wonder how difficult it would be to add full day/night cycles to all zones.
