Kill the game? Interesting, I didn't know it was dead. The player population seems to be consistent and I think the population numbers have been similar for the last 5 years (since I found HC). So, maybe a bit too much drama here, OP. Events are always nice. They add some change to the usual. Most of the content is 13+ years old. HC is doing a great job here and keeping the game in a great state. However, I hate to say it but I am not enjoying the HC content. I don't like the design and style of most of the new content; it seems my friends that play would agree. But I digress. I also think it's fine if the event is on for a bit longer than a week or two. I don't have time or don't want to play a ton of CoX. I have a variety of toons that didn't have these badges and they all got a bit of a run. That wouldn't have happened if it was a 2 week event. I can see the argument for making it shorter but I think the happy compromise might be 3 weeks? That made me think of the summer blockbuster event. That event definitely should be reduced. I'd suggest May-Sept. So, no, events did not ruin the game. They add a nice little change to the usual. I hope they add more events. As for the content, most of us have played it and don't need to keep playing it with every toon in the same way.

I usually start a toon and then bid for all (or almost all - skip purples if they're in my final build) IOs. I bid low so I have literal weeks/months/years to win bids. So, I start my toons with approximately 100 mill. Now, I don't play as much these days so INF is tight.

HC team, thanks for all you do!

Welcome to the City!

I really don't care too much for this pool. I do have it on like....2 toons...out of about 50 or more. Sure, it has some benefits but they're easily covered in other powers that are more efficient and don't cost you a pool selection (or you can get additional powers from another pool like leadership). I think I took the pool just to try it out and for variety. HC hasn't offered much new content that I enjoy so in order to change things up, I tried this pool. I don't think I'll be taking it again but who knows.

HC, thanks for all that you do! I feel it's tough for HC Devs to pump out a lot of content. So, once again, I would like to see a separate A.E. system used only to add missions made by players that are added into the REGULAR game and become canon. Players would be responsible for Wiki write up and info for the mish. Start with single missions (radios, papers, tips etc - repeatables). I know it's a lot of front end work for the Devs but it would allow them to implement other content. What other content? Glad you asked! Trials. We haven't had one added. Focus on that. New powers that are unique and different. I don't think Wind Control would be much different than what we have. Although I would love to make a Spleen toon... Some new power pools - many have been pitched so let's see some of them. I'd love the ability to have a sidekick and be able to completely design the look and have the ability to have this sidekick have a few different roles (range attacks? tank? heals? Pick one). Alternate name for the pool could be partner/minion etc. Some alternate options to incarnate powers. Have other options to Judgement (guns, rifles, missile barrage etc). Lore - much like the above pool, give players the ability to create the look of their Lore pets. I feel we have so many zones and powers. If Devs want to add zones, make a new TF/SF/Trial instead. If they want to add powers, make them something we don't have. Lots of other stuff but the ability to add new content quickly is my number 1. HC has been at it for over 5 years and things are great but there isn't a lot of new stuff to do that is really playable and really desired. I am not complaining as these Devs are volunteers - these are suggestions to help. Again, a big thanks to the HC Devs!

I hate to go off on a tangent but I have a toon named Holocaust and he's on the Excelsior server. I was part of an SG and some guy went all ape-shat on me for having the name. He then opted to go to Tells and decided he'd swear at me too. He claimed he is Jewish and this is very offensive to him. I opted to quit the SG and move on. I do see how it can be triggering but that was the only time I had someone protest over the name. So, heads up in regards to the Major!

I suggested this in a 'power armour' set. It seems they have the missile barrage animations etc in game so why not. Orbital Cannon was also a suggestion - kinda like Meteor. There are lots of other things they can add to Judgement so your gun or weapons based toons have some options that will match the theme. You could even change up Vorpal so it allows you to use your selected sword type. I also agree that there are some seemingly easy options here but I can't say for sure. I am not a coder 🙂

Yeah but it can look better and be a bit longer animation. It's not bad.

What would be wild is if you use AI to generate comic book looking images of your toons. THAT would be the tops!

I am sure something like this has been posted but ...whatevs 🙂 For starters, I am NOT asking for more incarnate powers. I am suggesting we have alternate skins/options to the ones we have. I feel this would apply to Judgement more than anything and I have some suggestions for the others. Judgement - I was hoping for an option/look that could fit the themes of different characters a bit better. So, if I have a gun based toon and I want Judgement, how about having an option where you can fire ION from a large gun, rifle etc? If you're martial arts then how about an option where your toon goes around kicking and punching in a made frenzy (might be a tough ask for this game engine)? Lore - I don't like to be attached to the CoX mythos so how about give us more options in regards to pet appearance. The BIG ask is have an option where we can completely design the look of the pet via the costume creator 🙂 The other powers that are visible could also get some alternate looks but these two are the ones that really stick out the most.

I think any TF/SF should be added to co-op zones so alignment isn't an issue. Having 2 versions of Khan is kinda weak.

I don't think you could do a 2. Cost, demand etc. - likely not feasible. Honestly, I'd like to see Homecoming try some different stuff. I haven't liked their missions and SF and changing that up would go a long way - for me, anyway. Maybe one day A.I. will be able to make CoH2 for next to no cost!

It's insane to think this but I think many players are on the 'back 9 of life', so to speak. I think it'd be cool to have something. During Live, I suggested having an idea where one of the vet rewards would be having a statue of your 'main' put in a zone. You know, those old vet rewards where you'd get the samurai costume pieces etc over time. I wonder if the Devs are able to track the time an account has been logged in and offer this type of reward?

He's an incredibly complex character. He should've gotten the Thanos treatment with a slow, detailed reveal over several movies. He is the real big bad. I also take issue with how he was so weak in this movie. I know he just devoured a planet and it may not have been as nourishing but still...quite lame. To have him pushed into the device via Invisible Woman was insulting. It really was not a good movie.
