Almost any AI program. It's all in the prompts. You just have to include something like: Company is City of Heroes.

Look, peeps! More action figures! 😄

😄

Sorry, getting carried away!

More Xmas fun with Star-Hawk! lol

This is so fun. I decided to ask Santa for some action figures of my fave toons! He came through!

Yes, I also agree on this point but put it out there anyway. Ideally, they allow us to pick at the start. I'd make them evil brothers and change their appearances. Honestly, I feel they should have left the old one and then done these newer one with a totally re-skinned boss. Something like a frost giant and so on. Not all of these big bads need to look like a snow man.

So, I see so many requests. I love me costume pieces. But, I don't think HC Devs have a member who can actually make them? I was wondering about this - people keep making requests but if it's not possible to add pieces, why bother....? Can someone fill me in here 🙂

It's cool to add a new twist to the same old! But why waste the old one? I say we do both! OR! When you port into the trial, make it random on which one you get? Maybe those are brothers and we go to one or the other? Just an idea 🙂

Hyperstrike? That's not that guy that led the Unknown Heroes, SG, is it?

I am not really loving attune. I took the power. I guess it's just like an opening attack for me in an attack chain. It helps your other sonic attacks - I haven't looked at numbers to see how much more damage it adds to the other powers. So far, I think I will just one slot it with a damage IO. Maybe a purple. I will play my toon for a while before I can form a final decision.

Did my maiden voyage earlier today with some pals. My initial feeling was relief. It's not nearly as bad as the other recent content. However, it's not great but it's getting better. -The pointless long runs between a couple of doors is super annoying. -There is still way too much dialogue. The caption boxes are nice but they appear on screen and cover your toon right in the middle of the screen? This seems like a mistake/error. -The missions do kinda drag on -Instant death falling off a train? Uh....I've endured much worse and it wasn't instant death. Le sigh... -I didn't realize I was on a 'train' until one of the team mentioned it. Anyway, a much better effort here. It is actually, maybe, the first HC content that I will play more than once. I've played Aeon a couple times but I did so very reluctantly. It'd also be great to see some new, actual superheroes and supervillains added to game. These enemies are now decades old and it feels tired. The Blackwing stuff just feels same old too. Maybe some sandbox, one-off, special missions. HC Devs, I appreciate your efforts and thank you for your time. I know it's a thankless job and it seems like I bitch but I do so to hopefully provide helpful feedback.

I am still absolutely amazed that there isn't a more inherent toon build that is connected to the game. MIDS is rather wonky but it....works... I'll honestly say, I doubt I'd make any new toons without a planner/builder. I am hoping the DEVS can make a proper toon planner and implement it.

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!
