I think the color coding would address this, but some popups would be nice as well...

One person's "bold" is another person's "desperate" or "aimless"...

Sometimes having the rez happen immediately is a bad thing; I'd rather allow the player to decide when to rez themselves. That being said, I'm concerned that giving self-rez powers additional utility might take away from either other powers in the set or fill a gap in sets which was placed there very specifically. I suppose if it was done with great care it could work out better, however...

Honestly, I feel like they're throwing everything at the wall and seeing what sticks, at this point...

Just toggle the "No XP" feature on and off at whatever rate you feel comfortable with, to get the desired net XP gain...

The whole point of the event is that it breaks the rules somewhat. You want that 10X XP, gotta take an increased risk. After it happens to you once or twice, you learn to compensate and keep your distance at first. XP debt is shut off during the event, so it's really just a minor inconvenience anyway...

I've seen people use the samurai chest piece as a sort of coverall top. I wonder how difficult it would be to implement either a shirt or chest detail that is a basic tank top/t-shirt...

Such a challenge would greatly favor the use of "meta powers", like tactics, quick recovery, lightning reflexes, that provide a buff to all your other powers.

This is a fun event and a great opportunity to level some alts. That being said, I would really appreciate a little more clarity on just how often it actually occurs - every 90 minutes seems to be best guess I've heard. Either way, kudos for the devs for having a little fun!

Is living in Pocket D an option? The Ski Chalet and Echo Plaza are pretty nice, and you could even play around in AE, (though probably on some really easy setting). What happens if I managed to get in on one of those farms, as a measly civvie?

The current devs can pretty much do whatever they want. Now, to what extent they want to delve into the threads that were left hanging by the original devs, and in what direction they would go with it, is another story entirely. I'm always happy to see more content, but they probably have to weigh the amount of time it would take to implement all these ideas vs the kind of response it would garner from the playerbase...

I mean, extra-dimensional incursions happen all the time in the CoH world, so you don't really need a excuse. Either way, if they wanted to include some sort of "radiant mission contact" within Portal Corp, sure why not!

Given the nature or PI having Portal Corp, why not include "alternate dimension" missions vs all sort of enemy groups...

I like the Jounin and Spec-Ops ones the best - they just feel like the epitome of those sets; The Oni doesn't really feel very ninja-like to me, and while the Commando is indeed a soldier, he feels more like a dumb heavy gunner guy than what should be the capstone member of your unit.

On another note, you could create some binds or macros to start typing into the specific chat channels that you want...

I just tested, and while they *do* scale up, they seem to remain quite small, (see below for reference), so a better option would indeed be welcomed:

There's a power in Champions Online called force geyser, IIRC, that is exactly this - I often take it just because it's so nonchalant and cool! 🙂

Add a non-dialogue version of Null in a bunch of other zones...

Any reason they couldn't implement a version of Null without the dialogue tree, just like the P2W vendor you pointed out?

I'm not saying that willy-nilly use of group fly or tp is great or anything, but if YOU aren't paying attention to chat, especially on a TF, then that's on you. Playing devil's advocate here, I don't think it is against the game rules to use your powers - even if other players don't like it. No one has any more right to tell someone else NOT to use their powers, then to tell anyone else how to play in general. There is a solution to this situation - speak to Null the Gull - it may not be perfect or convenient, but it is there. I could get behind being able to access Null's functionality while mid-TF/SF...

I don't think anyone is arguing that you * should * be able to grief others; The issue is how to implement things, using the resources available, in an effective manner. Maybe just making Null the Gull available in more locations could help, perhaps with a little popup pointing new players to speak to him/it....

Do they scale-up if you increase the size of the UI? I'm not at home to check ATM...

I tend to have an issue sticking with any single character, but my current favorite is a shark-themed bio/savage tank, "Megalo Don". He's fun to play, and who doesn't love flinging spirit sharks around, when you're playing as a shark yourself!

Or better yet - have something happen to make the player character giant-sized, and have them face off against a giant monster or mecha!

Great use of parts & color - especially how you made the retro sci-fi pants look like riveted metal!
