There's an option in the launcher to allow multiple instances. Select it, launch the game as normal, then initiate a second instance of the game. You'll need to setup a 2nd game account for said additional instance. You can then switch between the 2 instances or use a 2nd computer to run the other instance...

Some players intentionally skip certain upgrades because it hampers the pets' effectiveness. It's rare, but it happens. I'd rather be give the option to have this vs it being foisted upon everyone...

The Knives of Artemis also have very cool packs that I'd love to see made available to players!

I wonder if there is some way where you could opt to summon only 1 of the T1 and T2 pets, in exchange for having them be the same level as you, since that's how it works earlier on...

I'll go with "is it really that difficult to just stand there and basically do nothing already" camp...

If they lowered the recharge on the chief debuffing powers, their AoEs can be kept smaller. I think poison's trap should be able to be thrown. I'd like to see alkaloid given a small AoE, like envenom and weaken. It'd be great if the defender/corruptor/controller version of its T9 could optionally be placed on allies instead of just yourself as well. I'd also like to see non-spitting animations made available for all of its powers. Cheers!

"Temporal Armor" would, IMO, involve either reverting your body to a healthier state, (heals, regen), placing yourself out of sync with the current timeline/reality, (something akin to phase shift or represented with defense or damage resist), or perhaps speeding up yourself (super reflexes) or slowing your enemies, (think ice armor).

A different approach might be a thugs/elec mastermind - you can turtle up in your farraday cage while in bodyguard mode. Chain the heal and other buffs off of your pets and you should also get the benefit.

That'd be the summoning animation - tiny clown car pulls up, all your clowns get out, car speeds off...

I hear Lighthouse is jealous!

It would really help to know details about the character - when they were created, when you saw the missing power trays, whether you're a hero, villain, Praetorian, AT, powersets, whether you went through the tutorial at all, etc. Maybe there's some pattern to all this...

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.
