Right but the suggestion was to have a form that anyone can request a gold title. I don't think that's necessary or a good idea. It's just one more thing for the HC team to look after. I don't know about anyone else, but getting a round of "thank you" from a league goes a long way. Every Saturday night there's tons of people thanking @Kalikamata in League and Broadcast chat for hosting the SNS on Torch. That's more meaningful to me and shows more appreciation than a gold title does.

Much better suggestion.

Yeah against a budget upwards of $300 million (if not more since budgets are always understated). Even without COVID, there's no way that it would have pulled in a billion + at the box office. They'd have been lucky to barely break even. It just wasn't that good of a movie. Nothing against Florence Pugh as I'm sure she's a fine actress. Yelena just isn't an interesting character in my opinion. We've already seen Black Widow. Yelena is the bargain basement/budget/clearance sale Black Widow ripoff. All of those films were flops too lol.

The problem in trying that formula here is that none of these characters are even remotely "D List" characters. They're not going to hold the same interest or have the same gravitas as a Tony Stark or Steve Rogers or Natasha Romanoff or Thor. Let's face it, Black Widow was a huge flop. Why even bother trying to put those characters into another film? That's half your cast coming from a movie that was an enormous steaming turd of a flop.

I did read the thread. Your intent was quite clear in that you felt you were "morally superior" and "in the right" for insisting everyone else cater to you instead of you adapting to working with others. Correct, you admitted you don't need to use it. Since you don't need to use it, it's perfectly reasonable for a team lead who is being adversely affected by your use of GF to ask you to turn it off. That's the point, not how long you were or weren't using it. It doesn't matter if the team lead asked you within 30 seconds of starting or on the final mission of the TF. It's their team, their rules. You can't fault new players for not knowing about Null. Personal responsibility falls upon you as well. Again, as was repeated many times in the other thread, there are other people on the team to be considerate of. If you are using abilities that you know will be adversely affecting them, then you also have some degree of personal responsibility to inform your teammates ahead of time or to not use those abilities when asked on a team. You're supposed to work together on a team and play well with others. Telling everyone else to suck it up and that it's their problem they're being affected by your use of group fly simply because you can't be bothered to turn it off (again when you admitted to not even needing it), yes, that's being a dick and not taking any personal responsibility on a team. If you're playing solo, knock yourself out. Use group fly all you like. Null is a simple solution, the problem with it is that it's not easily found unless someone knows about it ahead of time (and remembers to use it) and new players will not even know what things like speed boost and group fly are until they experience it first hand. I don't think Null needs to be in more locations, rather give some of his options to trainers like Miss Liberty so that players can see those options and explanations for them when they first start out.

I'm being honest here, I don't think I've ever seen this loading screen message.

Gold titles aren't something meant for everyone, so I don't think everyone should have them. It's HC's server. Let them hand out gold titles as they see fit.

Could not agree more. Nice sentiment behind the idea, but doesn't work in reality.

This happens A LOT in the Crimson arc where you have to rescue Jack Firenze. It's that same map too like the one in your screenshot. Soon as you run up those steps, the mobs will rubberband to the other side of the map. Super annoying.

As others have said, you're fair game in a PvP zone even if you're there for non-PvP related activities. You do get more than ample warning you can and will be attacked by other players when entering the zone. I will say that the overwhelming majority of PvPers I've run into in RV are very cool. Once they kill me, I'll send them a tell and let them know I'm just there for a badge or whatever and most are very cool about it. There's one or two complete dicks, but most are very friendly.

I agree with the sentiment that players should be informed sooner rather than later. I made a suggestion in one of the other GF threads that maybe add Null's options to Miss Liberty and such so players can make those changes right from the start. The main problem is newer players aren't going to know what things like speed boost and GF are like until they experience how it affects them. They may think it sounds cool and not choose to disable them, but then realize how those powers affect them really sucks.

There's a little more to it than that. For clarity, you came to the forums ranting about getting kicked from a team when you didn't follow the team lead's request to turn off group fly, so they booted you. You yourself admitted in that thread to not using GF all the time. Your posts in that thread were trying to paint everyone else on the team (and anyone who disagreed with you) as somehow "morally wrong" for not catering to your whims, and that everyone else was clearly wrong and you were right. That's why you were being a narcissist. All you had to do was bite the bullet and turn off GF like the team lead asked you to do - which, again you admitted you don't need all the time - then finish the TF and received your rewards. Once done, you could have 1 starred the team lead and anyone else on the team to make sure you don't join any teams with them again. To be clear, you're not wrong that there is an option at Null everyone can choose to use or not, so I agree Group Fly doesn't need to be changed. Not everyone remembers to do this on every character though and new players probably don't even know Null even exists. Perhaps it's a simpler/more elegant solution to add a Null type contact in AP and MI or perhaps add Nulls options to Miss Liberty or the P2W vendor so these are setting players can adjust right from the start.

I don't disagree with the sentiment. With that said, I've come to the realization we aren't important in the equation here, and the HC folk don't owe us anything. This isn't "our" server. This game and server doesn't belong to the community. This is Homecoming's server and we're here at their pleasure, not the other way around. They don't need any of us. If everyone disappeared tomorrow, folks on the HC team could still log in and play with family and friends just like it was before the secret was let out. The HC folks are going to do whatever it is they want to do whether any of us like it or not, and they don't owe anyone an explanation for changes they want to make. We're simply asked to validate whether a change they made is working the way they want for the most part. Let me be perfectly clear - there's absolutely nothing wrong with how this server is being run. I'm not faulting them for it in any way. Again, it's their server and their rules. They're volunteers doing this in their free time for the love of the game and that is to be respected. Personally, I prefer they work on things they find interesting and worthwhile so they don't get burned out and start feeling like this is a job and not a hobby. This is a passion project for a group of dedicated people, not a commercial venture. It's entirely their decision what to work on. They don't owe us anything. Just my 2 inf, it's better to accept how things are here. Makes life easier for both you and the HC team. If that doesn't work for anyone, there are other CoH servers out there to try, some of whom have some very cool stuff. Otherwise, continue on here and enjoy roaming around Paragon City and the Rogue Isles.

No thank you. I already saw the Avengers movies. The OG Avengers were the "A" team with bankable stars. I've no interest in the "D" team. Marvel/Disney is waiting to see whether or not Ironheart is going to flop.... which we all know it will.

Call me crazy but I was more into Dr. Crusher and Hoshi Sato. Sisko would've just blown them all to bits. That's why he was more awesome.

/noparticles is a huge help with that. I'll be the first person to say that the game is absolutely polluted with way too much VFX vomit in team content, but I don't see it being an issue for clicking buttons to re-summon henchman and buff them. You could always move off the field of battle to find a clear spot as well.

Why do you consistently ignore the fact that you can just turn off GF and solve everyone's problems? You've said a few times here that you don't use it all the time, so it's not necessary. That's you asking everyone else to accommodate your laziness in changing your tactics while on a team. They hold the star, it's their team to run as they see fit. Don't like it? Quit and form your own team.

Except that GF is a toggle that can be turned off at any time.

Congrats on the victim mentality syndrome. You're taking no personal responsibility for your own actions and blaming everyone else like you're the victim. What about your teammates who couldn't go and use Null mid-TF and had to suffer through you refusing to turn off group fly on them?

The reason turning off group fly at Null the gull is even an option is because narcissists like yourself would rather grief and inconvenience everyone else instead of being courteous to your fellow players.

Even that no longer holds true. The Borg Queen has been destroyed how many times on screen now? 3 or 4? Yet the Borg somehow manage to survive.

You're a Defender attempting to tank an AV. Of course you're going to get annihilated. Why would you expect any different result? If Defenders have enough HP/Resists solo in order to survive multiple hits from an AV, the game is way out of balance.

Could be, although depending on the shot there's more than likely going to be CGI work/cleanup needed anyway, so not sure what the difference is. I've seen that video in a few articles around and they're all saying that's Ebon Moss-Bachrach in the suit. Maybe Marvel/Disney is trying to cut costs and going with a rubber suit instead of full CGI. The rest of the promo stuff for this looks cartoony, so wouldn't surprise me if this turns the Thing is being done practically. Even more hilarious that anyone puts so much emphasis on the emoji random strangers on the internet use on posts in an internet forum.

Some clips and a short scene of Red Hulk at the end of this video celebrating Marvel's 85th anniversary. Is it just me or is the CGI getting worse and not better? Can't say this makes me any more interested in seeing CA: BNW.

I've seen that article before and yes, Michael Chabon really is a total hack and a complete piece of fecal matter. Back in the day, the creatives behind Star Trek knew that not everything they produced was of the highest quality and they were very humble in admitting it. Today, if someone doesn't like something, they're labelled as "toxic" and told they're every kind of negative -ist there is. Total hacks like Michael Chabon would never admit they're writing stinks - it's the fan's fault, not his complete and total lack of talent. Most here may have seen this before, but here's a good example. This is Shatner and Nimoy at a Trek convention when Star Trek VI premiered. If you've never seen it, Nimoy and Shatner both humbly talk and joke about how Trek wasn't always emmy award winning writing. They never blamed the fans for it. Nimoy even compliments and thanks the fans for being so forgiving.
