  1. My suggestion would be for DEVs and GMs to have permanent statues and to have a wall of Global names for the player base. That seems more manageable .... depressing as it might be to update over time.
  2. - or - This may help ::
  3. Make sure to sell your salvage and recipes on the market to make loot for enhancements. Ask your teammates if they have any spare enhancements, and you will be suprised by the response ... probably in more than one way, but in general, more good than bad.
  4. Apparently, Retconned and no longer the son of Fu Manchu! Travesty! In related comic book farces, Tony Stark is now the adopted son of Hank Pym and Janet van Dyne; Sue Storm is married to Namor; Doctor Doom is shacked up with Scarlet Witch after she saved his mother from whatever ethereal spiritual prison she was trapped in; Baby Thor has a mystical baby binky that always returns to his crib when the throws it; and Conan and Red Sonja live happily together in downtown Manhattan in the year 2350. (Finally, flying cars for everyone!) I hate Retcons ... obviously. "Shang-Chi [Marvel's The Hands of Shang-Chi : Master of Kung Fu - not to be confused with the magazine-sized Marvel Deadly Hands of Kung Fu] was spun off from novelist Sax Rohmer's licensed property as the unknown son of fictional villain Fu Manchu. In later editions, his connection to Fu Manchu was underplayed after Marvel lost the comic book rights to the latter's character; to get around this problem, the publisher eventually started calling Shang-Chi's father Zheng Zu." - wikipedia Well, at least it wasn't a Comics Code Authority debacle like zuvembies. "In the 1970s Marvel Comics used the term in place of "zombie", which had been banned by the Comics Code Authority." - wikipedia
  5. Never said that wasn't the case. It doesn't negate what I said was true. You in fact indicate that it is true. Agreed again. Factually observed by me, and I see them listed as still being listed. I do a lot of crafting. Sometimes I even see a set of bids on the same character where each of the separate bids are for the same thing are showing random amounts of purchased item ... and in the middle of multiple bids ... one that hasn't been able to buy any ... when all are set for the same price.
  6. I see stuff like this all the time. Could be buggy. Could be legit. I often pay more than what things are selling for on the market. I sell my white and yellow salvage for 1 inf. I buy white for 10,000 inf and yellow for 50,000 inf. So the Auction House could show my posted as 1 inf sell as 1 inf while directly next to is one I bought for 10k or 50k inf. It could be that someone had 18 posts to buy at 11,111 inf. Someone posted to sell below that price (assuming trying to make more money by not paying the auction house. After posting one at such a low price they posted another one for a higher price. Someone saw the last bid, tried to get it one for the lower price and may have accidentally purchased it at the price with the additional 1. What I have seen things that I have posted at a set price and thing sell for a much lower price. I have also seen things showing have sold for a much lower price when I know I have bids on the market at a higher price. The recording does seem to be glitchy sometimes. I think there are some stealth factors going on as well. Not only can someone be posting something on the market for a low price showing a sudden low purchase if the last bid up is a low one, but the market seeds itself, so it is also throwing stuff up on the market. At what price? You would have to do your own testing to determine, but sometimes it reveals itself. Is the seeding for this item coming in at or below 11,111 inf or was a player posting below that? I have the feeling that the DEVs are also changing the inbound seed price from time-to-time. I won't say more, because when it comes down to it, people would consider me to be one of the Ebil Marketers. .... I better run while I can ! ....
  7. I don't think I'm the only one that doesn't play end-game. This is true in end-game play. It isn't true during game play. If you would have said Sleep (any) then I would have agreed with you. Again. End-game vs game play. Empathy : Absorb pain - I'm not an empath! I'm a masochist! Dominator : Energy Transfer - it is true that one would think a dominator would be more sadist than a masochist. Stalker : Energy Transfer - https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/Energy_Melee#Energy_Transfer - "... Unlike other Stalker primary attack powers, Energy Transfer cannot land a Critical Hit. However, if this attack is executed successfully while Hidden, you can avoid the hit point loss to yourself and deal a massive blow with no penalty" Perhaps if the Dominator has Domination running, then perhaps they shouldn't take the hit point damage. https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/Dominator "...Additionally, each time a Dominator attacks, he comes closer to unleashing his true sadistic power of Domination. ..." It is clear that this is not the Dark set's "nuke". Blackstar is the nuke. I think it is far to late for a name change or swap though. Would have been a good idea if caught in beta. Thumbs down on this. I like using my ranged powers. Knock back keeps them away from me until I'm ready to rush in for a melee attack. In which case, I'm trying to knock them back again. You can always slot Sudden Acceleration: Knockback to Knockdown if you don't like the knockback. Besides, knockback is great fun when you have a tank that thinks that they should be the center of attention .. ALL THE TIME, because, you know, they are the tank. Most of Mind Control is sleep related. As soon as they are disturbed they are free of the sleep. I think sleep is mostly for stealthing versus combat or when you have teammates that aren't spamming everything with AoEs. But, the really obvious one is :: Mind Control: Telekinesis. Originally, it was a "grant teammate flight" power. But now it is, "Lifts a foe, and any nearby foes, off the ground and repels them. The targets are helpless, unable to take action, and will continue to hover away, picking up any passing targets, as long as you keep this power active. Keeping up this level of concentration costs a lot of Endurance." Yep, floating off down the hallway or wherever, agro'ing more and more enemies until you turn it off. Seems bad? Oh, just use in a Kill All! There is no telling where the enemies will run off to once you turn it off. Gravity : Dimensional Shift? Has its uses. Another thread was talking about Stealth: Evasion being pretty useless. You lose all the defense bonus if you go into combat. Teleport: Team teleport - prank your team. Teleport them all a short distance against their will! (HINT :: Go see Nul the Gull to stop these teleporting pranksters!) Flight: Group Fly - much better than it used to be apparently, but haven't bothered to check I think you are misusing a term. Are you meaning "end-game"? Around here, there are always going to be people that disagree with you, but don't let that stop you from saying what you feel you need to say.
  8. Some people say it would be nice for a place for people to Make Connections to RP. Some just ignore it when it's there.
  9. Or I guess the DEVS could add a search status for Role-playing versus the other status for seeking teams. Doesn't seem that that many really care what status you are in, so you could just put "looking for roleplaying" in there and see who bites the bait.
  10. Sometimes I don't even know why I bother. Oh, I remember. Some people are actually happy when someone tries to help rather than insulting them.
  11. I think that's about as close as you can get to something glowing without "bleeding". The auras really "bleed" a lot more on the fists.
  12. Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but... Checked, you can use this full body. With aura ... You can also two tone the spectrum parts.
  13. Depending on your settings, the voids and quantums only show up one at a time. I'm running in a WS and PB duo with sometimes another WS in the mix. When a Quantum or Void shows up ... they become the main target to go down first .... just the same as other groups ... go for the Tsoo Sorcerer first, take out the Sky Raider Engineer first, destroy all the Devouring Earth pet spawns first, Vazh Mortificator first, etc. Kheldians were the EPIC archetype, so it was supposed to be more of a challenge to play them than the other archetypes. Of course, back then, you have to have a character reach level 50 before they unlocked, so you were assumed to have some skill with the game and were looking for a greater challenge.
  14. lol. I loved that stuff! Brings a lot of random chaos/excitement. I think Kheldians still do leave a stank on teams after they leave, but Q's are not that dangerous to non-Kheldians.
  15. Aura>Glow>Eyes doesn't "bleed" much. Kinda pokes out if you look at it from the side, but looks pretty good strait on.
  16. Have a base to share? List it on the base list or give them a key. /macro Key "enterbasefrompasscode BASENAME-####" Where BASENAME-### is the passcode for your base This works near a base portal or when using the fast transport to get to a base For more information :: https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/Base_Access_Passcode

  18. It's a very difficult thing.
  19. How hard is this?! Post the following :: 1) when you want to roleplay! (day and time please and remember to include time zones) 2) What severer will you be on? 3) what kind of role playing you are looking for (Superhero, supernatural, fantasy, pulp, etc.) On set date and time listed above , log into game. Check the /LFG If no one is recruiting for an RP group then /LFG RP (Superhero, supernatural, fantasy, pulp, etc.) group looking for more. Send tell for invite.
  20. which launcher are you using?
  21. Male supernatural 2, 7, 10, 11 Female supernatural 2, 4, 7, 9 I think what we really need is a "eye hole" head detail 1 part that we can make whatever color we want. That would insure the "eye hole" color would be on top of whatever is beneath it, which would make it stand-more. An example of this is Head Detail 1 Cybertech 4 - except it would be just the eye holes and nothing else around it.
