The Financial people behind the gaming companies or whoever is paying the gaming company to create content. To me, Kickstarter is the the same thing. You aren't investing in the profits of the product, you are giving the company money to invest for their future profits. But this isn't limited to online activities. The electric company that I get my electrical power from keeps sending me information on how to pay extra to have them provide me with green energy. Yes. Sounds great for the environment; I'm +1 on that. However, they are upgrading their equipment and building green energy facilities, so I'm already getting green energy from them from the standard rate. So my thing is, even if the extra money that I'm giving them is going to build green energy facilities and Earth will be profiting, they will be profiting off of my "donation" to building new green power plants. Buying stock would be achieving the same goal to provide capital but at the end of the day, their profits will mean profits for you as well. Just saying. I know that in the end that any support of a game is simply giving profits to those on the other side, but it seem to be that Kickstarters and paid betas are giving money to people to try to get their companies off the ground. If they fail, you just lost out all you put into it. Those that failed walk away with whatever profits they made to fail to produce a finished product or sustainable money-making venture.

I do jousting depending on the situation both with melee and ranged attacks. I don't even usually use travel powers while jousting. I usually keep my travel powers off when in combat unless I'm using one to gain additional defense hover, combat jumping, etc. and that is only when I'm in situation I think is very dangerous. But, then, I have to admit that I go to the Gull to turn off speed buff effects. I really wish I could turn it off (and group fly and group teleport) as a default for my account. (Wouldn't mind turning on accept Mystic Fortune on all my characters. Was never sure why this wasn't something in the options menu rather than having to go for the Gull to do it in game as you can already turn off automatic acceptance of Recall Friend in the options menu)

Please expand the size of the character description window at the bottom of the ID page so that it fits all all text including a couple of carriage returns (5 or 6+, aka paragraphing) There is a good amount of room above and below the windows on the left hand side.

Yeah, I heard of that b-----dizaion of the Champions RPG (that some would call pen-and-paper or table top). Jack left COH to try to make a Marvel Comics MMORPG, and it failed to happen mid development. Instead of scrapping the system, Jack and party bought the Champions RPG to use the signature characters, didn't use the game mechanics, kept the game that they had worked on for Marvel Comics, stuck in the Champions NPC, trashed the original Champions RPG rules and substituted their garbage rules for the would-be Marvel game, and printed it as a new Champions RPG release - to replace what many consider to be one of the most balanced, complex, and incredibly compressed RPG systems ever released where you could create any kind of character with pretty much any kind of power you could think of with any kind of special effects, advantages, and limitations you wanted. In other words they took a completely mathematically-equalized gaming system and threw it out the window because it would appear to have been too complicated for them to code but they said it was because people would make characters that wouldn't survive and basically used that as a reason to use all the work that they had already done on the Marvel game instead. Yeah, I know about that stinking pile of bat guano. Oh, btw, Jack has been working on DCUO now. He's Dimensional Ink's CEO. Type in Dimensional Ink on your browser. If it's google you will see Jack's smiling face over on the right hand side. or just go to https://www.dimensionalink.com/home/blogs and see it there.

I think I kind of missed your meaning on this part. I thought your group of players wanted to have both a hero group and a villain group that would fight against one another. There used to base raids that were like this, SG verus VG. But that didn't last that long. You could challenge someone in such a way that it would happen at 3 AM so that no one would be online at the time to defend their base and wipe it. Everything in a base destroyed in a raid was destroyed and had to be rebuilt. That table full of enhancements? gone. Salvage rack full of salvage? gone. What kind of special mission are you talking about? A PVP mission? PVP can happen in the Arena.

I don't see the need for "larger scale content drops".

No. Homecoming should never go subscription. That's not the point of Homecoming as far as I'm concerned.

There is an arc with a nemesis in it on the villian side. You don't get the make the nemesis, but it is based on your character instead. because that is how to do what you are suggesting for AE stories. It isn't that hard and it isn't fiddling with the files. about 95% of my Critter files, CustomVillainGroup, and costume save files are files from before the sunset that I copied out of the game folder from live and had saved since then and copied into the Homecoming folder as soon as I loaded the game up on my computer. It's easy. Emailing the files as attachments isn't rocket science. You don't have to open up the files and monkey with them, I was just showing what is in the files as an example. It isn't as complicated as you think it is. Creating the critters and customer villain groups is pretty easy. Making a basic mission in the AE isn't all that hard. The extra effort is in making the text to make the adventure more engaging. You can leave all that out and just "..." all the text parts. For lot of missions, you don't even need text. Make sense. Not sure how complicated that would be to implement. Maybe a simple "replace boss with rival if rival exists" is easy enough to implement. I don't know. Making your own rival? Seems you could intentionally gimp them, so I would think that would be an AE thing versus the game automatically generating a rival to fight against you based you your character. So there are DEVs on this game that aren't paid. If they find that is something that they are interested in doing they could do it. I'm sure most of them have played the villain nemesis missions and know about them. To some extent, this is a sandbox and we are making our own content. That was the purpose of the AE.' If you want these things before the DEVs make these changes (I'm pretty sure that they have fairly long reaching plans already that they are working on), then I suggest going the AE route. This is not to discourage you to not want what you wish for, but as Daigoro (from "Shogun Assassin" - the chopped and editing of a couple of the Lone Wolf with Cub movies aka the Baby Cart series) said :: So yeah, a wish is only a wish, but you can make it happen with the AE. That's all I'm saying.

Could just save the Critter file and email it or post links to the file save somewhere so your SG mates can use the Critter (AE NPC) in their AE missions. Go to the game files and look for the folder marked Custom_Critter. That's where your Critters (AE NPCs) will show up (like "Low End.critter", "Long Load Time.critter", or - that notorious AV - "Lag.critter" or his sidekick "Map Server Disconnect.critter") You could even save them as a villain or hero group and then share that file out of the CustomVillainGroup folder. (like "Game Issues.cvg" which is the villain group which includes of the above villains) But if you are the one creating the mission they are already in your AE mission for everyone that can run the mission (obviously, but maybe worth stating) Of course, you could go to the Arena and fight it out or, if you can go to PVP zones once you are high enough level, you could fight it out there, but others will be lurking out there to... maybe. The Critter files basically look like this when they are opened up :: { Name Lag Description "The dreaded Lag has the ability to slow players to a stand still and is sure to bring sudden death! <br>Beware! Lag can strike at any time!"

I haven't been reading that guys post for a long time. I have him on ignore. Saves a lot of wasted time.

I can see why one would want to avoid them, but I don't think that they should be removed. I'm assuming they were originally put in to make players fight out in the open so they could explore zones and other heroes would see them fighting in the streets - flavor! Plus you could be fighting group that you are intended to fight at a higher level. The hunts will let you know if that is the case. I know, the arc should be set the appropriate level, but Tsoo are good example. You can always run some radio missions or another arc for a level or two so you can power up to fight the ones on the street and then get back to the rest of that arc. To go into this a bit more. I think that the villains groups are set up to be a real threat when you first meet them, then as you level you gain powers to deal with them and by the time you reach the end of the leveling of that villain type you are able to defeat them much more easily because of your powers versus theirs and because you should have learned how that villian group operates (and know how to defeat their tactics). I'd be more prone to ask that the hunts be removed from task forces at this point. In the task forces with hunts back to back, it isn't a team thing. Individual players or maybe 2 will go to a zone and fight and every one fans out. Players just sit around until a hunt is done so that they can wait their turn. I think they were originally put in to have the whole team racing around the city and exploring different zones. Teams aren't doing that anymore so I think the point is lost.

I'm assuming that's base value. You don't have to put acc in it, so you could put one range in it to start with and add two more. - I'll make a run to the beta and check it out - be back - - back, sorry about delay - level 40 did show a base of 25 feet level 40 with 3 level 43 SO range = 39.34 feet level 40 with 3 level 40 IO range = 39.36 feet - level 50 did show a base of 25 feet level 50 with 3 level 50 SO range = 39 feet level 50 with 3 level 50 IO range = 39.62 feet level 50 witn 1 level 50 IO range = 31.38 feet

When I use the power to TP enemies it works a majority of the time. Accuracy enhancers for the win. Most of the time I get TP Target to use as "Recall Friend" so I always slot it up with a range to start with. If I'm using it to TP an enemy, I have the power slotted up with 2 acc as well. Range first so I'm far enough away and then the to accs to have a good chance to pull to me. If you are going to use Combat TP as a + to hit, you might as well get Leadership: Tactics; you will get more +to hit out of it, and it helps the whole team's accuracy. To me, Combat TP is to simulate Nightcrawler bouncing around. Sure you can Combat TP a couple times then start attacking for the +to-hit -- but then why not use Leadership: Tactics if you are only using it for the to-hit buff. Maybe running solo? Or maybe trying to save that one slot that would would need to use to unlock Leadership: Tactics? Or teleport a couple of times then bounce into melee range and attack -- I do think the point is to get within melee range or perhaps to quickly TP to distances for better range shots possibly. Again if you are using it to building up to-hit then Leadership: Tactics or the set's buff up power (pretty much every set as a +to hit and with +damage or the other way around which is probably better all-round bonus) Or Teleport into melee combat, attack; then decide to teleport to where another foe is and attack, or teleport away from melee range; and decide to teleport to where another foe is and attack, or teleport away from melee range. -- I know for this final one some of us aren't that twitch-fast any more, but some of the young crowd probably are. From the +to-hit stand point, you don't have to wait for Leadership: Tactics to recharged before you get the +to-hit bonus. If you just have it because you like to be the teleporter guy, that's fine too. I'm all about character conception myself, so I understand on that basis entirely.

I haven't seen seen 1/4 of the stuff he did. Great Actor. Lots of martial arts films. Don't even know what to say. - -

No buddy of mine. You are stalking me and attacking me.

Even the lizard and fish people?

You are welcome.

Are you merging posts together? Or perhaps there was a post that was removed by the Forum Moderators. The term "/jranger" just means "no". When we disagree something, we should explain why rather than just saying "no". Most of the people in the forums are very helpful. There are some that are an issue, but they are few and far between I suggest that you put them on ignore so you don't have to worry about looking at their posts again. Well, if you can show me how salvage can search for recipes give me screen shots. I posted mine showing how recipes can search for salvage.

Honestly, I sell all my common and uncommon salvage drops for 1. And, buy commons at 10,000 and uncommons at 50,000 to stimulate the salvage market - not that it really needs it with seeding, but still, even so...

I really don't care about or play the end game. Sounds unnecessary to me. I'm going to go ahead and say it - "How much more elite do you have to be?" There is plenty of elite-ness to be had already in the end-game. One of the many reasons that I don't enjoy playing the end-game. There is a search window at the upper left to search for exactly what you are looking for. already covered (I actually forgot where that button was and had to go hunt it down) er, what? Nothing in your AH "storage" (as you call it) should count toward crafting. Crafting is crafting. Storing something isn't crafting it. Are you talking about 10 IOs should stack as one? I'm am assuming you are new to the game. Back before the Sunset we have ten (10) - only 10 - enhancement storage in one tray and only 10 store/sell/buy slots on the AH per character. There is already a huge QoL difference. It's already Ebil Marketing on steroids.
