/ah opens the auction house anytime you aren't in an instance.

You really can't get away from that without putting the parts that can make people unique behind steep enough walls that few will be able to scale them. And given how they've treated capes, and wings, and Vanguard parts - I can't see the HC team putting anything desirable behind a wall ever again. Then you have to consider Sturgeon's Law... It would take an absurd amount of time to sort through the submissions, and more time to polish the not crap into something that actually plays and looks nice and works with the game's systems. And, for the moment and the foreseeable future, the HC team doesn't seem have that kind of manpower available.

Exactly! There's a ton of stuff you can't do (or really shouldn't do) operating in the shadows. I mean, just handling donations 'in the shadows' is fraught with thermonuclear legal landmines. Folks don't realize that "they've been doing fine so far" is just another way of saying "they haven't been caught yet".

Dunno if it was the more stable environment or just the (relatively speaking) enormous amount of coverage serving to remind people that Homecoming exists. Either way, it's good for the short/medium term health of the game.

There's also a Club for wiki editors under Browse > Clubs.

Will do my darndest, but that's about the time (PST) I'll be starting dinner.

I thought your post was pretty milquetoast myself... At least when compared to that that POS crapware deserves.

I'm currently planning on being home most all day tomorrow (PST). Count me in.

Yeah, I've got any number of characters "stuck" from the late teens to the mid(is) twenties because (at least for me) that's the sweet spot for soloing,

Very much an IYKYK kinda thing... But chatted with this individual on Excelsior last night... Spot on Kirito (Sword Art Online) homage/parody.

Not really. The collar has always been there, and NCSoft has always held the other end of the leash.

Does anyone other than me actually read those monthly financial statements?

So long as a note is posted here (so I can Follow the forum and get notifications when they're posted), I'm good with the new patch note system. I will note though that it isolates the patch notes from any discussions/clarifications about them. Possibly link back from the patch notes to the discussion thread?

That works great for roleplaying groups. Doesn't work at all for the rest of us, for the majority of the players.

That's fine for roleplayers. Then, there's the rest of us who play the game's content... I'm looking at something more "choose your adventure" than "write your adventure".

Oh, there's a number of maps where (depending on the group and difficulty setting) I slow down (or stop outright) at certain spots... Because I just know the group is gonna run smack dab into trouble. I am not above letting the rest of the team hit the hospital while I freshen my drink.

Because AE is not the open world. I mean, fighting your "nemesis" in the Danger Room is cool and all, but it's apples and the thing least like apples you can imagine. It's probably not impossible to borrow the (Resistance or Loyalist) tech from Goldside and rework it into a branching "choose your own adventure" style story arc that would allow the player to answer those questions... But it would certainly be an incredible amount of work to do right, and PITA beyond belief to debug and playtest.

If it was previously publically available on the forums, then I missed it. And so might have someone else.

My start was TOS on a black-and-white TV... and being very, very annoyed my parents wouldn't let six year old me stay up late and watch it when it was moved to late Fri nights. On top of that we lived in FL at the time, and could step out into the front yard and see the contrails of the Apollo launches. I should mention that Space Battleship Yamato was redone as Star Blazers: Space Battleship Yamato 2199 in 2012 and it's awesome. Well worth watching. It's available on Crunchyroll. In cooperation with another blogger, I did and episode-by-episode watch... https://apprenticemages.com/category/uchuu-senkan-yamato/page/3/

Complete History Of The Soviet Union, Arranged To The Melody Of Tetris

Yamato (as Star Blazers) was my gateway to anime back in the day... That and Shogun miniseries that aired a couple of years later were basically the start of me becoming a Japanophile.

I dunno. I think this might play better as a 'troller primary (with an actual pet in the T9), where various pets confuse, fear, mezz, etc... I can't put my finger on why, it just feels that way.

Learn to use spoiler tags please!

*nods* I got the game for Christmas (after broadly hinting to my wife)... and the computer I had at the time would just barely run CoX at it's lowest setting. And most battles were slideshows... About the fourth or fifth time I ran Frostie... Standing there (because, slideshow) in the first big room battle (where the first altar is), I simply had had enough. Was already planning on upgrading the computer, but that made me move the schedule up by months. I absolutely had to have a computer that could reasonably run the game. Oddly enough, that was also the Christmas she gave me my first handheld GPS - because I wanted to try geocaching, and smartphones with a GPS weren't a thing back then. Found out that geocaching is fun, and we're still regular cachers today. And I'm still in the City today.
