    IF U LOVE CITY OF HEROES LET ME HERE U SAY GO HERO,GO HERO,GO!

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Perhaps we should assume that U is a person (like U Thant, the United Nations Secretary-General in the 60s) who loves CoH, and the OP wants him to say go hero, go hero, go! So we should interpret it thusly.

     

    "If U love [sic] City of Heroes, let me. Here, U, say go hero, go hero, go!"

     

    Why a Burmese guy who died in 1974 would love City of Heroes is beyond me, but it's about as probable as any other interpretation.

    Patch Notes for December 3rd, 2019

    Same problem with the Tequila Server. What would be the reason that it needs to re-download rather LARGE files if all it's adding in is an advanced crash reporter?

    The disadvantage of Tequila is that when it patches, it needs to re-download whole files, as opposed to being able to patch bit by bit. If a lot of files were changed to integrate the fixes, then you'd need to re-download all those files. I can't say for certain what was changed, but that's likely the reason.

    Well, since previously it was a mournful, funerary marking of the savage murder of City of Heroes, any new celebration should be the complete opposite.

    Which would be a colossal orgy. I could go into further detail of how there'd be separate rooms for each Archetype and the kind of carnal festivities going on in there, the Brute and Dominator rooms would be especially spicy, and only the twisted would go into the Corruptor room, but I'll be banned.

    .....might be anyway, to be honest.

    Probably should be.

    .....definitely should be.

    ...

     

    On second thought, let us not go to Camelot. 'tis a silly place.

    How about an Off-Topic Forum?

    in Website Suggestions & Feedback

    Posted

    It's not really about numbers - we have 25ish GMs, and right now the forums work is mostly attended to by two of us. I can't speak for what Jimmy is thinking, but I suspect that he just really doesn't want to deal with the inevitable political discussions that would result. By and large, I agree with this. I think any attempt would require a larger guideline-building process which neither of us have the time for at the moment.

     

    And as to the question I think you're really asking, we may be asking for more volunteers in the near future.

    "Safe Mode" Client May Be Going Away Soon

    I don't personally use the Safe Mode client, but I'd be interested to know why it might be going away.

     

    I'm not enthusiastic about any changes to the game that degrade the play experience of any other players. 😞

    There are some backend changes we want to make that will break Safe Mode.

    How does this solve the issues about people being able to properly “acquire” the correct account if they don’t remember their credentials?  

    It doesn't, but frankly, that question is irrelevant. You'd need every person who ever played CoH to consent to the data transfer to Homecoming, and it's exceedingly unlikely we'd get that.

    The request that the OP wants their NCsoft COH stuff back.

     

    And it has everything to do with it.  

     

    Why would they even bother with the old COH accoints?

    If your question is "why would they care?" then the answer is probably "they don't want to run afoul of the GDPR (again), it's very unpleasant and costs far more in legal fees than they really want to spend, and if we force them into that position they will blow us out of the sky, so we're not going to poke the bear."

    Which makes me suspect there is a serious issue with making it happen.

    Since the thread got resurrected: yes, there is a serious issue. One of the team would have to write it themselves, since the Live tool didn't come with the source. This would take time, and between real life commitments and other things being worked on behind the scenes, it's not a high priority.

    Help and LFG Channel Misuse

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    4 hours ago, biostem said:

    OP, I understand your frustration, but then I have to ask - what is the official policy, regarding what can or cannot be done in the help channel?  If there isn't one, (besides the general rules of conduct), then all you can do is hide the channel or deal with it.

    Good news! There is a policy!

     

    At all times people in Help and/or LFG should A) always be able to use the channel for its primary purpose and B) stick to CoH-related subjects (so please for the love of Jimmy do not get into long-winded debates about politics). That's it.

    One of the GMs used to tell us that there were plans to create Shard-specific socialization channels, but I haven't heard hide-nor-hair of that for months now.

    There are! There are plans to do many things. Not all of them can happen at once. Some things are more important at the moment, for better or for worse.
