I've was using the old launcher on my old computer. The icon looked like a trash can. It was a bare bones launcher.
But installing new on my new computer, it has a new blue and black HC logo, and the launcher looks more professional with a nice blue color, patch notes listed, and shard status.

Were you running a 286 or 386 previously...?
It wasn't a terrible computer. I thought I had the graphics set to max.
When I installed this time it asked if I wanted to use a new setting for Ultra graphics and I chose that. I have no idea how old Ultra mode is.

I thought I had seen CoH as good as it could look. But I just got my new computer and ultra mode looks fantastic. It's a whole new generation of graphics.

That works very well. Do you just have the feet slightly lighter than the legs? The blend always seems odd to me on the boots.

Not using all 3 (although you can).
But these are fairly distinct items that I rarely if ever seen used in game.
So what character can you make with the princess hat, talon boots (tall or short), OR the jester neck ruffle

Okay, I have now tried the new TK and I like it.
It has been very handy for pulling groups together that are scattered - especially after some dominator has them all immobilized while scattered.
Not an Iwin button like Seeds of Confusion, but a solid power that I intend to use a lot.

What im saying is you may need to adapt and actually...*gasp* LEARN NEW TACTICS :O.
Thank you for supporting the nerf to Procs and the other things that make characters overpowered and bringing the challenge back to the game.
As you say - when characters are nerfed so that the game is challenging players will have to adapt and actually...*gasp* LEARN NEW TACTICS :O.
It is support from players like you that really make a difference with the developers.

Please explain what facts and logic make a blanket 'Aprocalypse' either healthy for the game or a good idea, design-wise.
Please show what facts and logic have shown that there is a massive proc nerf around the corner. Or discussion of a massive proc nerf around the corner - besides this thread.
And please explain what facts and logic have shown that procs are not a problem.
This thread is simply a collection of hysteria, strawmen, and ad hominem attacks.

QoL - everyone gets stamina, upgrade button for enhancements, AH access everywhere, etc
Which one would you rollback because it made the game worse some how?
And which one was the biggest improvement in QoL?

I suppose I'll throw my usual line in here: proc nerfs are a solution in search of a problem. Do I fully expect they're going to happen, and probably soon? Yeah. Is any reasonable player going to like them? No.
I suppose when facts and logic are against you, I suppose ad hominen attacks are what you have to go with.

I’m down to a single free slot (again). And just burrowed through a 3-arc story. Maybe this summer.:-)
Do you make new accounts to get new slots? Just unpublish old ones?

What if it isn't posted this week? Just wondering if it were finished later if it would still count.
I'm not putting a time limit on the challenges, particularly this one.

AE should be filled with hundreds of story arcs at all levels so players can create a new character and level it to 50 with content they have never played before.
So this is starting at levels 1-10. Make an AE story focused mission arc. Put SFMA in the name.
Use maps you don't normally see at levels 1-10. Use enemies for levels 1-10, but try making hero arcs with Gold or Red side villains or custom villains.
I will play every new AE SFMA posted here, and my sub-challenge is for others to also play all of them and post their comments here.

1. Remember to announce that you have a 'team transporter' for next mission, before everyone splits like frightened rabbits.
Announce it before the mission ends. There is no need to wait.

I think they largely reflect the dynamics of the game as it was when Going Rogue and the Praetorian arcs were being developed.
A LOT of players were mostly playing solo and teaming was quite rare other than for Strike Forces and Trials etc. But despite that the lore of CoH is one of its core strengths and the story has always been key in this game. We can argue about whether we think the content of stories is up to snuff some of the time but that's not relevant here. What FW and NW do give you is an amazing story and much of those arcs weave the Praetorian and Primal worlds together. So making someone go meet new characters is part of that (and has been since launch.)
It might be considered "lazy" or "throwaway" but I would disagree. I think those zones are rich in content and to a degree, talkies are part of telling and reinforcing the story.
I agree.
In WoW and Guild Wars 2 you do missions for people in the world. You learn about each area as you talk to them and do missions. There is a story but it also makes the world important.
First Ward and Night Ward are one of the few zones where they places have a story and feel like a place (Croatoa and Striga are others).
Steel Canyon is just a big place where you can run to doors for missions. I wish it had story arcs about the different neighborhoods and buildings there.

A man a plan a canal Tahiti?
The problem with these Tahiti trolls is you cut off one and two others take their place.

That's like being a Dungeon Master. The best laid plans never survive first contact with the players.
Only if you let the players make meaningful decisions. Just start every adventure with the characters captured, locked in a cell, with only the items you want them to have and only the way out you want them to have. EVERY adventure

With 1,000 character slots and tons of content - do you log on with a plan?
Do you log on knowing which character you will play and what you will do?
Do you just see what is going on and join in?

my nomination is for LadyGrams who runs teams through Hollows and other low level arcs day in and day out.
They make a new character every few days it seems and start over.
Not a lot of people make teams and they do it all the time.
Edit: I posted this, went in game and the first comment in LFG was Lady Grams starting a Posi 1

How would you know not to join a MoLRSF if you don't know what to do unless you know what to do?
I don't even known what a MoLRSF is. But if I was the right level I would join and assume I would learn.
