@Anthropophagus What powers did you give Drinky Grampa? He looks incredible.
Water Blast colored yellow perhaps? A Beer Blaster if you will.
Also welcome Anthropophagus to the best part of the forums!

Gwyrdd Mawr
My main alien rogue inv/ss Tank
Wales is a part of the U.K. I've yet to visit but G-search tells
me this is Welsh for "Big Green." Fitting look and theme DJFM.

And this is what I imagine plays over the montage of him hunting down members of The Family and seeking revenge on them.
The Italian word for Clown. Also an opera, nice.
Well it's probably a good thing that you imagine one of the more classical
renditions of that song... because the modern cover literally stinks.

People may not dig villains, but they do dig their ATs.
Meh it's just Brutes really and mainly for Spines/Fiery Aura.
Masterminds are ranked higher in playtime than defenders for some
strange reason (laziness probably
) but other than that it's all heroes topping
the board then the other villains below with Widows & Warshades bringing up the ass-end.

You and me both!
I can't tell you the number of times I've seen an obvious villain hanging out in Atlas
and sat there clicking my auto target bind "What's wrong with this stupid thing!"
Why wooaSCREEEAAAEEAAAAAGHHHHH!!! Oh COME ON! That is clearly a
demon summoning other demons up from the bowels of Hades right in the middle
of Atlas! Why the Babu Frik can't I punch him straight into the Zig via Next Week
avenue with a slight detour through Oblivion?! Is my targeting device broken?
That's life indeed... oh snap, I feel like Thor waiting for Loki to say...

You have offered no evidence for the claim that "many" people don't like playing the bad guy.
You mean other than multiple people here saying the same thing, each of
those people knowing the minds of many others & having the post with more than
6x the approval of any other here? You mean other than that evidence he has no evidence?

Apples and Oranges comparison. Doesn't apply.

Has anyone disputed this??? Of course it's true, it's also irrelevant to many. People play what they like.

That might be your reason, but we're talking the whole playerbase here and it's ridiculous to ignore the elephant that has always been in the room: CoH has more content. Always has had more content. Always will have more content. And yes, that is absolutely because it came first.
Where was their entire customer base when CoV released? Blueside. How much content did CoV release with? Less than blueside. Were they going to spend each subsequent issue release adding MORE content to redside than blueside to bring them to parity on content all the while pissing off their existing customer base that was blueside? Of course not. This got talked to death on the original forums. This is just how it was. Redside wasn't doomed by people wanting to play heroes. They still play heroes. They were playing villains and anti-heroes blueside before CoV was even a thing.
Not going to down-vote you because I disagree, but c'mon. You're going to ignore how much more content is Blueside and chalk up the population disparity to... heroism? For most who play, and this goes for pretty much any MMO... content is king.
Ummm yes? That would be why I stated it. It may not be yours but that doesn't mean a significant
segment of players don't agree with me. If you're implying that I alone am of the opinion that "more people
prefer playing the hero than the villain" I don't even have to leave the thread to point to examples disproving that.
Look no one speaks for the entire player base and we have no way to ask them as a whole but just using what we have
available what's the only post in this thread with more than 2 likes or thumbs up (currently 12)? That would be the
one from Ironblade that I quoted saying a very similar thing. I've heard this expressed dozens of different ways
by hundreds of people over the years since i6. I'm not ignoring your supposed pachyderm I am saying
it's irrelevant and would not change my opinion if the situation were reversed and Red came first.
Where were they the day CoV was released? Well anyone who had it was playing with the shiny new Redside
and my whole SG and I were among them. You know where many of them were a few days/weeks later? Blueside.
Maybe if it had been a free expansion or had released sooner or with content parity you could've kept more people
over there longer but the end result would've been the same. Once the new toy syndrome wears off you realize
you are playing for the wrong team and it's just not as fun. The only reason I didn't get rid of it (well I did sell
off my pricey early order & pick up a DVD Collector's Edition a few weeks later for $8) was that you needed
to have Villains in order to get access to Supergroup bases and porters (features people actually wanted).
Well that would make you more civil than some and I appreciate that but as an FYI you can't
really "down-vote" a post and subtract reputation in the same way that "up-voting" a post adds to it.
Honestly that bit at the end was something of an experiment to see if a rash of all in red-siders would strike
after I predicted that they would. Do they choose the new thumbs down thereby proving me right or
or do they resist the temptation to try and prove me wrong? So far it appears to be the latter.
I am ignoring nothing and yes perceived heroism is a far more significant factor than you seem to realize.
No, content that people enjoy playing is king. Content they have no interest in is more of a "red" headed step child.
1 hour ago, ZemX said:If most people soloed as much as you do and cared as much as you do about the writing, they'd all start either gold or redside and then move redside. But they don't. That's pretty compelling evidence that most people don't share these priorities.
Or it's compelling evidence that people don't share your priorities and actually just prefer playing Blueside.
Can you honestly think of no scenario where a product launches in a space and then later a significantly better one
launches in that same space and people abandon the original in time and adopt the newer better thing???
If the content was genuinely superior and/or more people enjoyed playing villainous characters
then over time people would migrate and there would end up being more people redside which would
then make the devs release more content to support the majority of the player base but it isn't and they don't.

I like that. I was wondering what the CoH font was, so that's good info to know. I think regardless of what I go for, though, the title's going to need to be stretched vertically a bit-- it's just such a long word!
Cool. If you find something better by all means use it. No worries either way.
Agreed. I wasn't sure if I should overlap on Atlas' face so I kept the text to the globe.

Redside is horribly underpopulated. Always has been..................... probably always will be.
As it should be.

Yep. It's not because CoH came first and it doesn't really matter the incentive I just don't want to play Redside.
I play the game to be a hero, being the bad guy has no appeal whatsoever... annnd cue the mass of down votes from Villains.

Ugh. Being Macho or manly does NOT make you a villain. There is nothing wrong with a manly man.

Being a Macho man clearly makes you a "Face" far more often than a "Heel."

Still looking for a good font for the title...............
@ToxinFox Well have you considered the City of Heroes font itself? It's called Red Circle.
So pulling some light blue shades from the background and
stretching it vertically a bit, it might look something like...
Thoughts?

Right on @Glacier Peak but those can only be used in your own posts and not to
react to someone else's which is, I think, what @Ironblade is talking about. 💯
Also I've seen people on other browsers say that 90% of those don't show up.

..........................For what it's worth, I haven't seen any Thumbs Down in practice yet...............................
Same thread linked above just scroll down two posts (though I think that is a thumbs down being used ironically
).
3 hours ago, Ironblade said:I think we need just a few more options. I mean, look at this.....................................
Oh some of those would definitely be trouble. The e4 "Pinocchio" would essentially just be calling someone a liar.
A couple might be genuinely useful though like the c1 "Puppy Dog Eyes" c8 "Mind Blown" or the d9 "Hmmm." Thoughts?

In regard to the whole "How do I address you?" question:
I'm going to be as delicate and straight-forward with this as I can. And keep in mind, I'm an ally, so I'll always try my best to respect your position and what you tell me you are. But for me?
I'm just me. I actually don't mind what pronouns you choose for me. I can happily exist in whatever identity you need me to be. I don't see the world through a pronoun-focused lens, and I don't expect people to subscribe to whatever I consider myself to be mentally or physically. I've always naively seen the world in the best light - we're all just people with limitless potential trying to find our purpose and value in life. I've got who I am and what I liked worked out and locked down, I just never bring it into what I'm doing - it's personal and on this platform, irrelevant to an extent.
I rather enjoyed the character of Janet on The Good Place for her all-encompassing knowledge of the universe, and her charming innocence in being limited to human scope of interaction. So consider me a Conduit, an Operator, another program in the system. I'm here for you!
With that said, there's been a LOT of really good information submitted here and elsewhere. Hopefully in a few weeks I'll have another followup.
I love the idea of the Wharf Rats, the weapons, the costumes. I'm working on a LOT of things in these coming patches, a lot of which is subtle and outside of the story arcs. (LFG whatwhat)
I may create another Developer Discussion thread with the ideas pushed forth by you all and some teaser pictures. I hope it doesn't disappoint!Well said Janet.
Also I seriously need to see this show,
it keeps coming up and I've heard good things.
To the Binge-Mobile Batman!

Overall, though . . . I wonder how much use these two new Reactions are going to see. Will the availability of the Thumbs Down create any more hostility between members of the community? And really, is there a difference in context between the
bluewhite Like heart and this Thumbs Up?...............................................If this post is any indicator, already quite a bit.
I hope not but I'm not exactly going to hold my breath.
Perhaps a difference in degree? The heart for what you really
enjoy and the thumbs up for general approval?
3 hours ago, TemporalVileTerror said:...........................................Additionally, with this change, the Confused Reaction can hopefully be read in the context of the post in question causing confusion, rather than the reading that seemed to develop for some users thinking it was used in the absence of a "negative" Reaction.
I always thought the "Sad" was more of the negative reaction (depending on context) and
"Confused" was just when something said in a post was difficult to understand or just plain bizarre.
4 hours ago, KauaiJim said:..............................(I already sometimes find myself split between thanks and like sometimes).....................................
Same. I sometimes find myself wanting to both express approval and thank them
for the comment/question, I usually just react with one and comment the other.

On 5/24/2021 at 9:21 PM, Icanav said:Nice work Fox!
Did CR actually run out of county puns? Phew!
(j/k I love bad puns!)
@Icanav Clearly you do not know me very well my good man.
With more than 196 countries at my disposal, give or take an island nation
or two and the occasional disputed territory, I'm fairly certain Fox would run out
of patience long before I would ever run out of countries to pun-nish her thread with.
However since I do not wish Brahn to end up maligned by a malevolent mob of
mischievous monkeys in tutus I shall mercifully moderate... for the moment.

I only started noticing it in the last week or so myself and, not
to put too fine a point on it, but my own speculation just isn't cutting it so
would a Dev or GM care to comment so we could get a better handle on this mystery?
