I doubt this is your issue, but you never know. Are you opening MIDs via clicking on one of your build files using Explorer each time? And if so does a dialog box appear, even just for a second? If it does, it's likely that somewhere in your registry it's still has a file association for MDB to an old version (and is installing, or trying to reinstall that version). Change the file association for MDB files to the latest version, or start MIDS via the exe each time. Just mentioning it as someone else was doing the same thing and having the same issues.

I trend not to use inspirations much at all, only when they are really needed. Nothing to do with the mechanics of this game but I developed a pet hate from other games about needing to use consumables all the time. With early games it was just an annoyance, but later many games started to give you no real choice but to constancy use consumables and those consumables either required in-game currency or real money. Not to mention requiring microtransactions to buy the space needed to hold them. With COH this was never the case, but I never got out of the habit of not spending consumables where possible.

This discussion could/should had stopped right here.

Have you tried Baby Octopus pizza? Best pizza I ever had. Which was strange because I normally don't like seafood.

Dark Horse Comics for me, purely based on how good the Elf Quest graphic novels where.

I never expect this game to ever launch. It's been a few years since I even thought about it. Now, after looking at their trailer and website a few things comes to mind. 1. They seem to have spent most of their time on fancy graphical power effects a lot more then the character graphics. The appearance of the characters just looks wrong to me for some reason. 2. The movement of the player characters in the trailer also just looks wrong to me, maybe it just the video quality or something, I'm not sure. 3. When looking at that screenshots of the character customisation screens on their website, my first thought was "wow, the NC Soft lawyers are going to be interested in this". Still, If there is FTP option, a free trail period, or the cost is very low I likely check it out when it launches, even if just for a few days hours.

It's a good event that brings old players back into the game, even if it's for just two week. It got me playing again after been away for a while, now I'm interested in a few of my old characters again. Two weeks is a good period for the event as a single week would limit how many people can participate due to work and other reasons. What made the event the most fun was the players taking the time to arrange leagues and keeping everyone entertained.

I do T3 Alpha first, then T3 Lore and Density. Then I just work on getting the others to T3, and when I get a Very Rare I normally do the T4s in order of Lore, Density, Alpha, Interface, Hybrid, Judgement.

Some nice results in this thread, most a lot better then I get.

The last month or so I've been playing around with Krita and added graphics for the background stories of some of my characters. Below are a couple of samples. The full list can be found using the below link to a Google Photos album. For most I had help from a AI, some more then others and a few where done with no AI help at all. The primary tool used was Krita. I tried all different styles, some turned out nice while others, not-so-much. But I definitely got better at using Krita the more I used it.

Excel spreadsheets are like side quests.... I have one badge workbook for each server with the following sheets - iTrials, Specials, Events, Task-Strike Forces, Trials, Day Jobs. Each column been a individual character. I also have a MS Word document to record what Incarnate powers each character has, that is currently at 207 pages. I should also make a spreadsheet for character names, AT and power sets. I currently record this information in text document and I've been too lazy to improve it. Each time I want to create a new character I copy and paste the list into excel as data to work out which combination I haven't try yet. And each time I do create a new character I always think "I should save this workbook", but for some reason I never do.

I confused. I was there at the last event and did notice the disagreements in chat. However, I don't remember anything been said about Kronos been a huge problem because it was causing all the lag. From what I understand the talk was about if Kronos causes the other GMs (Baggage) to wander more then they normally do, or not. The OP does mention this side of the discussion, but rest of the thread seems to be only fixated on the possible Lag issue. I didn't just sit and listen to every single chat message so I may missed a fair bit of it. But for me the real issue was that someone organised a event and others decided to go against what they ask people to do (or not do). Then someone (I have no idea if it was the same person or not) wouldn't stop complaining about it and appeared to basically be trying to stir up trouble.

This reminded me of the early days of Homecoming, not long after I started I got a tell from some random guy demanding that I change (or delete) my character name so he could use it. His reasoning, he had that character name on live. I pointed out that I also had the same character name on live, so obviously we where on different servers back then. He confirmed that he was on Freedom, while I was on Infinity. But somehow he still insisted that he had the right to the name on this new server and advised that if I didn't delete my character he would put in a ticket. He got a bit rude after that, maybe my reply of "LOL" didn't help things.

I don't think I have ever moved a (slotted) enchantment from one character to another. Once the sets are slotted I trend to leave them as is, even if better sets are added to the game or the powers are altered. Each time I get a new alt to 50 it doesn't really cost me much to fit them out as I keep any good enchantments I find ready in supergroup bins. It normally only costs less then 75 million to buy the few enchantments I don't already have.

I definitely don't think it's a problem, far from it. Ever since I start playing computer games (in 1980 if I remember right) I always ended up having multiple characters in any game that allowed it. It was (and still is) one of the best way to experience the full game, especially with games like COH were you can create a number of diverse characters.
