Odd, because I could never target it. And I flew to it to make sure it wasn't anything on my end. (Edit: And while it has been a bit since I last tried, I'm rather sure I was hitting the Tab key to try to target it, not an attack key.) (Edit again: Scratch that "rather sure" part. I was definitely hitting the Tab key to try to target it.)

You can't. It can't even be targeted.

Collateral Damage: Tiny Dialog based niggle
Rudra replied to Dauntless69's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
Yep. Some people just suck. -
Every invasion works that way. If you are under something, even if only a building awning, invasion spawns will not spawn at you. (Which I like.)
-
My response to that is to be more careful or hit up the AH first. Edit: It's just like if a player accidentally hits an extra 0 when buying things on the AH or accidentally buys the wrong enhancement. That is entirely on us. The game shouldn't be made to have to compensate us for making mistakes.

Agreed with @JKCarrier. If a player wants to sell their rare salvage to a vendor, they should be able to. So I oppose taking that away from them. As for increasing the sale amount? I oppose that too. You are supposed to get less from selling to a merchant than selling to everyone else in an auction. (Because us non-merchants are typically willing to pay much more than something is worth for various reasons, whereas a merchant is going to pay as little as possible to maximize their profits.)

Collateral Damage: Tiny Dialog based niggle
Rudra replied to Dauntless69's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
Not really. It really is up to the individual being addressed, at least in as much as it applied to non-commissioned officers. I'm not arguing against the OP. I always found it weird that she was a Petty Officer addressing a brevet-Sergeant as "Sir" as well. I just figured that in their world, maybe Petty Officers fall into a different category. So I have no problems with her rank (in the dialogue) being changed to Corporal. (Though she seems to hold a higher authority than that would normally entail.) -
My confused reaction isn't about that. My confused reaction is this is a duplicate thread. And in the original thread, the author stated (s)he/they was not aware of the "Report Typos Here!" thread. So I figured any re-post would be there, instead of being duplicated in the same place where we had the original discussion.

Collateral Damage: Tiny Dialog based niggle
Rudra replied to Dauntless69's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
No, it isn't. It is required when addressing a higher rank commissioned officer and not using that commissioned officer's rank, which is any commissioned officer if you are enlisted, but "sir" or "ma'am" are appropriate terms of address for any higher ranking officer. That includes non-commissioned officers from Sergeant or Staff Sergeant on up depending on the military branch. For instance, when addressing a Chief Master Sergeant in the Air Force, the correct terms of address are Chief, Chief Master Sergeant, Chief Master Sergeant <insert last name>, or "sir" or "ma'am" as appropriate for the individual unless that individual instructs you not to call him "sir" or her "ma'am". Until such time as that higher ranking non-commissioned officer tells you not to call him "sir" or her "ma'am", it is an appropriate term of address. (Though the reason why those individuals typically choose to not be addressed as "sir" or "ma'am" is often to differentiate that individual from a commissioned officer.) -
heather townsend solo mission with pets and holstered weapon
Rudra replied to Ridiculous Girl's topic in Bug Reports
It's particularly nice when you're doing the infiltrate the Skulls mission. No one even bats an eye as your "Skull" character walks through the Skull hideout with pets in tow. And despite Eagle Eye's warning that you can't use your powers or you will give yourself away, none of the Skulls realize who you are even when your pets mop the floor with the Death Head you have to fight. (Edit: So it isn't just the single player missions. It is any mission where your character is supposed to be something/someone else that this happens in.) -
Prismatic Aether: Items and Prices
Rudra replied to DarionLeonidas's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
I have not, no. 🤷♂️ What rock have you been hiding under and do they have any rental openings? -
The statement you quoted included the answer to your question. Here is that statement with the answer: I even highlighted it this time. So why are you arguing with me? Did I say anywhere in this thread I oppose the OP after the author clarified what part of Team Transporter (s)he/they were talking about? Did I say anywhere that the current radius should not be increased in size? No, I didn't. I did say that the extent to which the author wants it increased is something I oppose, but not the increase itself. Which again, I don't care if the devs increase the affective radius. So why are you arguing with me? I stated well before you joined the conversation that I don't care if the radius is increased. I stated again in direct response to you that I don't care if the radius is increased. And yet you are insisting for some reason to argue with me that the radius should be increased. Why?

Those characters will each keep pushing each other away in the same direction until someone decides to move. And if those players decide they don't want to move away from each other to stop that after it starts, well, that's their choice. Yep, depending on who you are running with, that happens rather frequently. Though they always say after in my experience, I'll agree of the possibility of them just never saying. However, if you are already moving away and unaware that a TT was activated, then what difference does it make? You are already making use of whatever plan you had to get there. And if you become aware after you leave? Double back and use it. Or if you don't want to? Use your own Team Transporter. Or the Mission Transporter. Or, here's a radical thought, wait the 6.03 seconds it takes to summon the TT to see if someone is casting it so you can make use of it before dashing off. (Edit yet again: Or here's an even more radical thought. You're the 1st one out of the mission? Then use your TT so it is already running for everyone and you get there.) 12 seconds. Which is odd since the Team Transporter simply uses Mission Transporter to send players to the mission. So I agree that Mission Transporter should have its cast time reduced, probably to the 6.03 seconds it takes to cast Team Transporter, but the over the top exaggeration of the author about how long Mission Transporter takes, as well as the author's unwillingness to consider using Mission Transporter when in a different zone to talk to a contact when the rest of the team in the other zone uses Team Transporter very much inclines me to think (s)he/they is just trolling. Especially since all the clarifying comments are more geared at joking about females than about what the perceived claimed topic is. Edit: And here's the thing about your and my discussion. I'm not against the OP. I don't care if the Team Transporter radius is increased. (Edit again: Like I said in my 2nd post.) 20 feet? Yes. 25 feet? Sure. 30 feet? Why not. 150 feet? Why? No. 1,500 feet? Who are you trying to catch? No! From anywhere in the zone in relation to the power's use? Hell no. From a completely different zone? How would the game even handle that with what we already know about its limitations? (And also, absolutely hells no.) (Edit again: Because while I won't care if the radius is increased, there is such a thing as too much.)

I'm not assuming anything about anyone's base. I didn't say you don't have enough of anything or that you arranged them wrong. What I said was: That's all I said about base design. Placing storage bins near the crating tables and placing more crafting tables by the storage bins means you don't have to travel back and forth as much. Especially if you place a crafting table at each storage bin. Personally, I prefer to not have my crafting tables at my storage bins. It disrupts my design. However, sometimes someone may prefer convenience over design. And placing multiple crafting tables at your bins is certainly an option. Here is the problem. When someone is interacting with a storage bin, that specific bin is not available for others to use. For example, my bases are meant as single player bases, but I invite my friends to join anyway. (Edit: Fortunately, all my bases are linked via open coalition, so any of us can go to any of the bases whenever we want.) And when any of them are interacting with the storage bins, I'm locked out of interacting with the storage bin (s)he is using. Your proposal would make all salvage storage bins automatically in use by the person using a crafting table. That makes those salvage storage bins unavailable to others. And if you have multiple crafting tables so multiple people can craft at once, then you run into the storage bin interaction problem even for trying to use the crafting tables for the salvage you have on hand. Meaning you would effectively lock anyone other than the person currently using a crafting table from being able to use any other base available crafting table because they are all trying to access all the storage bins at once.

Let the TRAM/Helicopter system go to all non hazard zones
Rudra replied to DrRocket's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
Did I miss something here? The post you are quoting was directed at the person I was quoting. And I wasn't being rude. I was stating what we already have in the game. The OP asked for basic transit to connect all zones, while keeping red and blue distinct. Red side is already connected for all zones. By two means of transportation. (Edit: Both of which go to all red side zones.) The ferry and the smuggler's ship are both near the trams. With the smuggler's ship to Striga being slightly closer to the Independence Port (north) tram than to the Talos Island tram. And Peregrine Island is readily accessible via TUNNEL or Ouroboros if you lack a base with portals. And if you have the base, the base portal in Talos Island and Independence Port are both right there at the tram. I'm not gonna pitch a fit if the devs decide to implement the OP for whatever reason, but I do think with all the ways we have of quickly getting to Striga Isle and Peregrine Island, the fact you have to walk, run, jump, fly, or teleport the short distance to the ships as opposed to crossing an entire zone to reach the red or green line trams from the other is not a problem. That was always the problem with the red and green lines before they were merged. They were at opposite ends of the entire zone that had both of them. (Edit again: For both zones.) The ships to PI and SI are both right there, just a short distance from the trams. (Edit again: Was it the red and green lines or the yellow and green lines? I can't remember.) -

Additional Costume Slots through Prismatic Aethers
Rudra replied to Awilix's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
The game can't handle more costume slots as far as I have been informed. For instance, Soldiers of Arachnos and Widows of Arachnos technically have 11 costume slots to everyone else's 10 because they get an added costume slot that is their starter so they can have their requisite Arachnos appearance. However, their 11th costume slot is only accessible via slash command. -
https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Mission_Transporter For when you find yourself alone and lonely because the rest of the team used the Team Transporter to get to the next mission.

You needed to be more specific then. Sure, I won't care if the radius is expanded. (Edit: You won't get that 150' radius though. You might get 25' radius, but not anything incarnate level in size.) (Though I need to point out that not caring if the radius for mission teleport is expanded is not the same as wanting it.)

ITF - Last Mission Imperious Upgrade (or removal?)
Rudra replied to Renatos1023's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
He already has it. It is called Zeus' Lightning Bolt. -
I'm going to ask that you don't make statements like this. I prefer the current sized Team Transporters, at least for the Longbow Chaser one, because that is how big the Longbow Chaser is. And the TTs have a 15' radius, so why do you need to be "nut to butt" for them?
-
And what happens if a player is currently putting salvage into the bins or taking salvage out of the bins when someone decides they want to craft? Sorry, but I have to oppose this. If it is that much a problem, then put your storage bins near your crafting table and put more crafting tables around the bins.
-
This is the key part of your statement. The alignments don't mean anything to you. They do mean something to the game. They set the parameters for what is available for characters to do. They set the expectations for what sort of content should be available in the different areas. They even set access for PvP zones. (Otherwise you could just pop in to Bloody Bay from the hero base, hunt Shivans for a while, and then go to the villain base and exit in Cap au Diable. In a zone being contested by Longbow and Arachnos, so heroes and villains are fighting each other. Do you really think Arachnos is going to be willing to let you use their portal out of Recluse's Victory into the very heart of Grandville after you finish handing the zone to the Freedom Phalanx?) You also don't see villainous missions/arcs in co-op zones. No bank robberies, murdering a superhero to establish rep, unleashing a plague or bio-weapon, or any of the other types of missions you see red side. The co-op zones are focused on the threat of that zone. Whether it be Hamidon or the Rikti or Mot and the Banished Pantheon or whatever. Even in Dark Astoria where you have villain/rogue only missions from that CoT contact, your missions are against Mot and those forces that serve him or are doing things that make fighting him more difficult for you or will actually empower Mot despite what those doing whatever in that mission are trying to. (Edit: Well, you do in Striga Isle, but those are story arcs and I don't think those are co-op missions. Just like doing the TF/SF in Ouroboros. The zone is co-op, but only blue siders can do the TF and only red siders can do the SF. And the TF and SF oppose each other, so they self-neutralize.)

Heroes and Vigilantes both get the blue HUD. Vigilantes are morally grey though in this game and so are free to run around blue side or red side doing whichever missions they prefer on either side as long as they are able to at least join the teams, whereas Heroes are true blue. If you want to play a Hero that functions more like a Vigilante or Rogue? More power to you. However, a Hero (as in the alignment in the game) does not kidnap people, does not extort people, does not intentionally harm them or gather them to be sacrifices, or do any of the wide range of acts red side PCs engage in. A Hero (as in the alignment) does not run around suppressing people's freedoms or making sure they can't get a basic education because the tyrant ruling the region and his lieutenants want people uneducated and blind as to what the world has available for them. A Hero (as in the alignment) does not run around murdering other heroes for the sake of building their rep. You know, the missions and story arcs we play through on red side. City of Heroes/Villains is a super-character comic we play through, and Heroes don't engage in the acts the red side missions call for. So there is no reason for all the zones to go co-op, because while your character is free to be run however you want, the game's story has rules for how this comic game world works.
