Some amazing looks in here. I was looking for inspiration for a poltergeist type toon. Does anyone have something that would fit the bill? TIA! 🙂

Most builds will have a flaw somewhere aka a weakness. I am guessing OP may mean like a true Achille's heel but that would be something else. I'd rather see a CoX version of the Nemesis system where we create are arch-enemy and have them pop up from time to time. 🙂

I used to have this but the direction of the new material and what I've seen has been very disappointing. I am sure some enjoyed it but I do not. I play far less now but c'est la vie. I appreciate the HC team and all they do - I am glad to play this game. I know the crew I play with also feels the same. I'll do almost any content when teaming with pals. I am not too bothered by it. Unfortunately, they don't want to touch 99% of the new stuff again. We always try the new content but then all agree it's not for us. So, I am happy whenever the new stuff drops...or doesn't 🙂

Can someone tell me the actual amount of absorbing the Preventive Medicine proc can do when it fires? I get when it can fire etc but what is the actual number value of the absorb shield when it does fire?

Nope. I did not answer it. Unless you know the OP or something along those lines. You don't know what he's about or why. Maybe he's a troll? Maybe he wants some attention? I prefer to take a kinder approach unless I have evidence or know the person is being an ass - then I can become very unkind. Anyway, the CoX community is pretty decent and no one went overboard on OP. My point is, you don't know the person, you don't know what's going on in their world - they could be having a tough time and just want to interact and don't know the best way of going about it. I will try and show kindness - not always but I will try and take that route. Here's a little vid that I enjoyed and also stresses my point:

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuh....I feel you kinda made my point for me. I know MANY would make a variety of accounts but I think there are also many who couldn't be bothered (like me). I don't game much and this is still my fave game so maybe I'm not the usual type here. However, I am pretty sure fewer slots would've reduced the name hoarding - to what degree, I don't know....maybe a little...maybe a lot... 🙂

I don't get the dump party on OP. it is a bit of an odd post (especially if he repeatedly does this) but I am guessing he is a passionate CoX person. Maybe it's his way of expressing concern about this game's population dropping and the lights going out. I don't know. Sometimes it's tough to clearly express yourself. Some folks think they may become vulnerable and open themselves up to attacks on their actual feelings...who knows. Anyway, I like HC. I asked to help but was rejected. All I can do is my part and I think OP is kinda trying to do the same by raising concern about population decrease?

I'm torn on this one. In one way it would be nice but I also would hate to see a bunch of characters with the same name. I like the uniqueness of it all. So, I guess I'm saying I have to disagree with you....I think...lol I still think giving a 1,000 character slots was a bad idea and HC refuses to rectify this. I guess the character name release program does help in a way but it's a bit of a pain for active users who have altitis. I've created some toons then put them on the shelf after a few levels. I now have to keep an eye out and log them in to preserve their names - what a pain.

This is very cool. I tried this with some pals but they didn't stick around. Sadly. My suggestion would be to tell them about ATs. Each will have their own preference etc so that may help them lean towards a certain area. Don't PL them. Let them run around and explore. This is just a me thing and it will depend on the players - tell them about the IOs and inventions. IOs are the main loot item and powering your toon is a big deal to some. At some point you may want to introduce MIDS. Again, some people like to design their toons and others could care less. I am definitely a guy who needs to design his toons in advance and have a blue print.

I pitched this as an additional pool option. Similar to an MM pet and you can pick the Sidekick type (blast, tank, heal etc). The real win here would be for you to have the ability to completely design the look via the costume creator.

Implement my idea of a separate A.E. v. 2.0 that allows players to create simple/basic missions (maybe work their way up to TFs), have them reviewed by a dedicated Dev team and then decide if they can be added. The whole point is for more content to be added at a quick pace. Less work for Devs (after making the AE 2.0 of course). Hopefully, once approved, these player made missions can be dragged and dropped into the regular game and become canon etc.

How could you not remember him/her or whatever was behind that avatar. I never had an issue with this person and loved the enthusiasm for the game. I never kept track of the successor projects but I wonder if any of those teams have asked about joining HC. HC does great work but I can't say they're progressing the game in any meaningful way. I feel more staff may help but I am not excited about new issues that're coming etc after most of the stuff I've seen has been disappointing. Having said all that, please don't take it as an insult. Again, my 2 cents and I am VERY happy the game is back and kicking.

Yup. This was my intent as well with earlier comments. I think the key is customization. It's still one of the best parts of this game. Have the ability to pick other Lore pets and maybe even completely customize the look. That would be ideal. The next level awesome would be having the ability to have the option to design your pet/lore pet etc from scratch much like our toons in the costume creator. Have that costume creator (or as much as we can) for our Lore pets.

Long ago, I mentioned having a new pile of Lore options that don't tie us down to CoX lore 🙂 I think the best option would be that you design the look of your pet much like you do your toon. OR you can use what's already there. OR the Devs can add new ones like bats, werewolf, mummy, vampires, other mechs, snake people and so on. I also suggested a new pool option called The Partner pool where you can summon a partner/pet that you can design via the editor and pick which style of that partner will play (tankish, blasterish, and so on). I don't know what direction this game is going but I haven't been super impressed with a lot of the adds that HC has made. The work and quality is good but it hasn't been for me. Maybe this Lore idea will happen

I would suggest adding more weapons with a variety of looks. Maybe some new looks. For example, you can add the sword power and then have the option to pick the sword style you like. No slots, same damage range as the Wand and Staff. It's more for cosmetic looks/reasons. Maybe make it colorable as well. I find there is so little added by way of customizing your toon and this might be a little add that is realistic.
