[Help and LFG Channel Misuse]

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.

[Personal Issue with AE and the slower slog of normal content.]

Well, okay then.

Isn't this where someone steps in to remind everyone that there's no fighting in the War Room?

Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room!

 

But yes, please cease debating about who's a lying liar who lies or I'll put the thread to bed.

[Personal Issue with AE and the slower slog of normal content.]

Wow, I was flipping through the first page of this thread, figuring I'd almost certainly have to close it, but this second page hasn't completely degenerated into flaming. Keep it up, or else! :)

[Some Tweaks to Give Trick Arrow a Point]

Hello, friends. Can we remember to discuss these matters civilly and without assuming that the other side is clearly evil and/or stupid? Thanks.

Would it make sense to update the CoH Fandom site as it already has a large chunk of info already on it? It would not be a start from scratch and things can be edited for the HC system. 

Whatever you do, don't do that.

[GM Presence Breaks Zone Cap]

We're putting the maps in drain state manually to keep them from hitting the handle cap and crashing, because that's been a problem this last week. The fix'll be patched in on Tuesday, gods willing, and then we won't have to do that anymore.

[You Have Been Kicked Error Code October 6th]

The zone crashed and you were stuck in limbo. You should no longer be stuck in limbo.

[Bloody Rainbow Comic Con Fire Farm Update]

If you'll open your hymnals, you'll see that the CoC states with regard to signature characters:

 

Use of these characters in Architect Entertainment and character backstories is permitted.

 

So, yeah.

 

[Server Status - Mapped Instances vs Players]

The server loads most of the city zones by default when it turns on.

[Feedback: New Story Arcs]

Please do consider allowing the spawn system to handle mob balance, flawed as it may be.

What you are suggesting exists does not, in fact, exist; everything is manual. That particular map (with spawns inside!) was, I believe, pulled from Graham Easton's arc, and the spawns are what Paragon's "spawn system" picked.

[Character currently locked for an account order]

We've been having issues with the servers tonight which apparently may present like that. As far as I know there's nothing to be done, though if you file a ticket we can at least try to move it to Pocket D. Out of curiosity, have you moved servers with that character at all lately?

[Maintenance Notices]

Due to the recent crashing, there will be emergency restart in five minutes. This should only take a few minutes and no progress will be lost.

This was happening to me too to I sent in to support. They said they're having an issue with the server and are investigating.

I am support, and I endorse this message.

For Shauna's arc, I got a "mission fail" the 3 times I ran it.  Note - I never failed it.

 

Edited to add - I did get expected rewards and badges, so I'm not saying this was a catastrophic bug.  

IIRC, the way that the final mission works is that if you pick the "wrong" choice at the end (from the contact's point of view, anyway) you fail it, because that's just how branching paths have to work in CoH. So, WAI.

[How to scare away new players.]

Okay, this thread has long since run its course. Let us not do this again.

[Official 'enterbasefrompasscode' Resolution thread]

For future reference, there's a report button on the right-hand side of the top bar of your post that is usually more effective than tagging a couple random GMs and praying it works.

 

In any case, this thread has indeed joined the choir invisible, so I will close it.

[Small suggestion: No more nerf herding threads]

This thread has descended into the absurd, and so I have decided to nerf close it. Please remember to assume good faith of everyone going forward.

[DELETE Hasten, SLIGHTLY ALTER all enemies, SLIGHTY ALTER all player powers]

This thread is on the road to nowhere, so I am going to close it. Be excellent to each other, and party on, dudes.

[Patch Notes for September 27th, 2019 - Issue 26, Page 3]

Does this mean only characters from 25 to 29 can play these?  If so.  Will they be in the flashbacks menu?

Yes.

3 minutes ago, Eiko-chan said:

Are these badges mutually exclusive, or can you get both by repeating the arc in Ouroboros?

I believe you can get both.

Will there be any additional post made to locating the new PvP Zone badges or will it be "go, hunt, kill find badges?"

I believe Vidiotmaps already has the Bloody Bay and Siren's Call badge locations. The others, for the moment, are a secret to everyone. (Myself included, mostly.)

[DELETE Hasten, SLIGHTLY ALTER all enemies, SLIGHTY ALTER all player powers]

This is your last chance. Cease attacking each other or I'll close the thread.

[Another Update from The Homecoming Team]

You finally did it. You’re deleting Empathy and replacing it with a new powerset!

If Jimmy's going to delete anything, it's pineapple pizza Storm Summoning.

 

Disclaimer: No, we're not actually going to delete Storm Summoning. We like our heads where they are, thank you very much.

[Code of Conduct Update - September 25th 2019]

Should these be reported via a ticket on the support site?  If so, which In-Game Issue Type should we use?

 

Most of my friend group has names we'd like to report, we're just not entirely sure how *shrug*

Go with Harassment and Conduct, I guess.
