What they'd need to do is to create a temp power that summons a temporary boombox entity/pseudopet that exists on its own for a set amount of time. This would then free you up to perform your own emote. I don't think it'd make sense to create a special alternate dance + boombox for every single dance and song...

You are free to feel however you like, but the truth of the matter is that we are living in a world of near constant online connection, and being expected to do a little online research is not asking for a lot, nowadays. Making suggestions, and making suggestions where you are unaware of various game resources, (including a wiki linked at the top of these very forums), as well as an in-game help channel where people almost always provide links or other useful advice, (and yes I am aware that people can provide incorrect advice), implies to me that you weren't aware of these resources, then took it as a personal offense when that was pointed out. It'd be no different than arguing to a bunch of car enthusiasts that you think it'd be really cool if we could monitor RPMs on our dash, and when pointed out there's already a tachometer, arguing that you don't like analog dials and they should just tell you when to shift and into what gear, (and not wanting to use an automatic, either)...

No, because everyone knows that the reason for the season is pleasin'...

I think the key difference with allowing the filtering to be implemented on each individual player's end is that the ones spamming the chat wouldn't notice the change, so there wouldn't be any need for them to change their behavior. Maybe allow some basic keyword filtering on a per-user basis? Heck, limit it to the global chat channels to avoid any false positives, (so teams and league chat, for instance, wouldn't be affected)...

Drop rage, give 'em BU, then adjust the remaining powers to account for the loss...

I mean, if being affected by speed boost from a person you aren't even teamed with, affects your recharge, which in turn affects how frequently a proc triggers, how can you provide any meaningful metric, (not to mention that, if you haven't used that power in well over its PPM, then it should always go off when that power is used, regardless of other factors)? TBH, I'm surprised they didn't just make them all persistent effects, and just adjust the magnitude or damage values, accordingly...

I hear she's... . . . ... Brazillian.

Do you mean as a reactive step, where the user has to select a topic and choose to ignore it? If so, then, sure, I'm in favor of such a feature. Anything that relies upon any sort of tag system for the forum topic won't work, as I doubt you could rely upon such OPs to use those tags. I could be misremembering, but don't most forums disallow such "I'm leaving" threads, anyway? If so, maybe just close them ASAP?

"Happiness", indeed...

What we need is more... disquiet [ dis-kwahy-it ] Phonetic (Standard)IPA noun lack of calm, peace, or ease; anxiety; uneasiness.

I have had a lot of success with my elec/rad brute. Very tough, lots of energy to fuel all your powers, and with some powers granting defense, you have a very nice layered approach, with defense, absorb, regen, resist, and a self heal!

I've been playing a grav/marine 'troller recently, and have been having a lot of fun with them. I'm just about at the point where I'm going to need to decide which APP or PPP to go with. I want a defense shield, but beyond that, I can pretty much make anything work with the character theme-wise. I've narrowed it down to ice mastery or mace mastery. The biggest determining factor for me is whether I want/need the extra bit or survivability hibernate has to offer vs the general, (at least IMO), coolness factor of being able to have the mace as a costume option and then to also summon an extra minion, (tarantula). I had also briefly considered earth mastery, but I think the FX may be a bit too intrusive...

No, I mean the info on the enh itself doesn't change, AFAIK. I am aware that they are affected by other factors, (recharge, AoE or not, etc), which is why I suggested perhaps giving each its own entry in the combat attributes section, (though even then, you'd need additional data to distinguish between multiple copies of the same non-unique procs)...

Sure, but here's the ting; Enh details don't, AFAIK, dynamically change based upon what you slot them into or what other types of enh's or global effects are affecting that particular power, so it's not really something that can be addressed via the enh window, so maybe as a new separate section of the combat attributes?

Are you talking about end drain resistance? I'm not sure how that works, vs recovery resistance. Regardless, with only being able to monitor 10 stats at any given time, I'm not sure why you'd want that as one of the stats you do monitor. Are you running some tests or something, or is it just a "like to have" feature?

Don't procs say "this effect occurs X times per minute"? Further, doesn't the combat log show if, for instance, a damaging proc, goes off? I know you can see panacea going off under healing, IIRC, in that log.

I have an older Ryzen 3 laptop, and CoH runs decently well on medium settings. If you just want something to multibox with, then even integrated graphics can work, if you use the -usetexenvcombine launch parameter. If you want to seriously play on a laptop, definitely go with something beefier, but also keep an eye on your thermals, because things like particle intensive events or instances with lots of players can really crank up the heat, (or just temporarily disable particles for such instances)...

I played for a bit on a GPD Win; It had like a 5" or 7" screen. It wasn't impossible, but reading some of the larger blocks of text was difficult. I've also played on a refurbished 12" laptop; That is about as small as I'd want to play on any sort of regular basis. If at all possible, (and depending upon your budget), go for something with an actual GPU, otherwise I don't think you'll have a pleasurable experience, long-term...

People play this game sober?

You are under the misapprehension that I slot enh's with IO set bonuses as my main concern, and this simply isn't the case. Perhaps you or others do, but, as I stated, that is not my design goal. I cannot be said to be "giving up" something if that other thing was never a consideration. If I'm going for defense, then I'm focus on defense. if I'm going for +rech, then I'll go for that. But to say that I'm giving up a Ferrari by going for a Honda assumes that I was ever going for said Ferrari...

I'm not here to give a book report. The "I think" part is all you need to know. One, or even a dozen, of posters still does not equate to the entire community...

Just because you don't clear out every room or mob does not mean you are "speeding" the TF. Respecting people's time is not rushing.

I think it's a matter of perspective. For instance, before IOs, (and it still holds true for most attack powers I take), I aim for about 2 SOs worth of acc, and 3 SOs worth of dmg. So if an IO set grants those bonuses AND some global +rech, then I have not, in fact, given up anything in order to attain said global +rech. That doesn't mean that nobody has made such sacrifices in chasing that global recharge, but it also doesn't mean that everyone has...

Great pic, but there's just something off, to me at least, when you've got an animal person with "real" animal ears and human ones... Maybe that's why they frequently have hair that covers where the human ears would be...
