No one else I can see in the area. But will look over by the magic store next time I look. maybe the mission text should indicate that "Hunt down 20 Freaks near the Magic Store in Talos". Always good to get direct mission information.

The first part of your post is correct. To me it isn't a matter of using another descriptor, it is removing the superhero mythology by not gaming as Heroes and Villains but rather and different colors. In superhero comic books, the heroes are not "blue" and villains are not "red". There are heroes and villains and that is basis of the superhero mythology. I agree that there are retconning deconstructionist that want to turn it all into a gray scrambled muck where there is little to discern a hero from a villain. There is an actual play wall that you have to breach using Null the Gull or the alignment system to pass through. Heroes are heros. Villains are villains. There are those that are on there way one way or the other, but there is not really any grey area. You are a villain moving toward doing good in the world, or a hero moving toward criminality. There is no true neutral position between the two. And for those that think they are sneaking around on the Hero side stealing stuff, you are working for the force of good by defeating the forces of Evil. Come to think of it, half the time people are running around as villains, they are actually fighting other villains... go figure.

I agree - if they are playing on the villain side.

In now way am I attacking anyone for having disabilities. Play the game the way you enjoy it. We all have a responsibility to express our views when we feel we need to do so.

Lord Recluse is a villain. Obviously, he is pro-villain and anti-hero. Lord Recluse never said that the Blue Side was weak. He never says Blue. Nor does he use the term "red" for Villains.

Yep. I do. I'm not complaining about it. I'm moving my characters around and getting prepared for it. It isn't going to be unlocked account wide. Like other powers in the game, you have to earn it one way or another per character.

Okay, then. I said this before, but I didn't ask you why, so... We don't get to unlock any other power just because we unlock it on another character. Why should we be able to unlock this one without doing the work to get it?

Honestly, it isn't really needed other than to be able to slot the consolidated power window thing (quick menu, too tired to remember or go check) to clear your tray off all the teleport option clutter. There are tons of ways to get to a base with the new system, and it isn't that hard to add the Pocket D as a teleport option in a base or use someone else's base that has it equipped.

You're more likely not able to find anyone to game with on the Dark side ... I mean Villain side.

Well, there you have it, heroes. The villains pretty admit to their nefariousness. You are heroes and not blue, and 70% of the servers' populations. Of course, they might mess with teams forming, but they can do that regardless. If they want to hide behind "red", well ... isn't that what they do anyway? Don't call yourself blue. You are a hero. Be proud. Admit you are a hero.

And, so we see the true villainous intent yet again. Is there any more reason for the heroes to stand for this and be blue/sad simply due to the threat and demands of villains? Threats and demands are what villains do. I don't bring you threats or demands. You are heroes. There is no reason to be blue. Rise up and be the heroes that you are. Don't support their conspiracy. You are heroes not blue.

So starting this as a level 20 character, you are sent to Talos to fight Freakshow. Lowest I'm seeing are level 23. This time running it, two freakshow ran up and attacked me. I don't know if there is an intended slow-release ambush of Freakshow that are at the level of the mission owner or not. I had to go inside of a building to start writing this.

So, as you are verifying, the Pocket D VIP Gold Club Member badge is what was the Pocket D VIP pass and not what the Pocket D VIP Gold Club Member badge was on-live before the Sunset.

Works better simply to put those on ignore that offend you. I'm not going to jail a whole town just because of a couple of bank-robbing, leg-breaking villains are committing crimes in it.

Less than 30% of the population is villains. There is no need for the heroes to identify that they are running a hero team when recruiting when 70% of the players are playing heroes. And, yes, one expect villainy from villains so of course they are complaining. So rough got get arrested for doing crimes. I know, villains, you don't deserve to pay the time for your crimes. As for the Praetorians, I'm glad all those that play Praetorians have posted on this thread. Why you don't want to be "gold" for your selfless act of being Praetorians can not be understood for by non-Praetorians. Heroes! You know what I say is true. No need to say blue. If you have to type four letters make them be "hero" instead of "blue". You don't even have to type "side" /macro LFT "lfg Level $level $archetype hero looking for team." No need to bow down to the 30% that want to be villians. Because, after all, they are villains.

Great to be able to use Ninja animations in jumps and superspeed or when not using a travel power (so zero end). I was hoping that "athletic" was a new animation set, but I like how it is working.

I think you are confusing the Pocket D VIP pass with the Pocket D VIP Gold Club Member Badge. The Pocket D VIP Gold Club Member Badge was a perk for buying the Good versus Evil edition. This has never been on Homecoming. The Pocket D VIP pass (which is the icon that is used for the Pocket D teleporter here on Homecoming) which was always based on spending 1 hour in the Pocket D <-- this was never account wide. You could purchase it from the P2W vendor. Now it falls under the Long Range Teleport power (unlocking one exploration accolade unlocks this - just ran around in Atlas for the Atlas Tour Guide Accolade and it took about 5 minutes). To gain the Pocket D teleport under the Long Range Teleporter, you only have to have one exploration badge in the Pocket D. This is simply not hard to do. (I am not complaining and I'm working through my 70+ characters to unlock it on all of them in preparation for the change on live) I also forgot to point out that they are not taking away the base teleport that can take you from your base directly to the Pocket D. Check out my post :: UltraAlt's Guide to preparing for the removal of the base teleport macro

I will start out by saying that I have never liked the use of the terms Blue and Red in regards to which "side" a character is on or looking for a group. (no need to go into you Praetorians as you are all but non-existent, but enjoy playing the game the way you like). I feel the use of Blue and Red undermines what the game is about. Heroes fighting against the forces of evil and villainy. This is why City of Heroes was created. I'm not trying to knock those that want to play villains. The game aspect is there. Enjoy it if you like it, but you are a villain and not "red". So where did this red/blue thing come from? It's pretty simple. Red is 3 letters. Villain is 7 letters. People are lazy. (Especially villains?) Hero is 4 letters, and so is blue. No advantage to a hero to call themselves blue unless they are sad. With less than 30% of the population being villains, there is no reason for heroes to bother adding "blue" when asking for teams. It can be assumed that you are looking for a hero team. (and certainly not a Praetorian team. Sorry Praetorians.) Villains can keep saying "red" because they are too lazy to type "villain" or to avoid admitting that they are playing villains. If you are "red", you are a villian. City of HEROES. Not City of BLUES.

This is the wrong forum to be discussing, granting powers to other characters simply because one of your other characters has unlocked that power. So I apologize for responding.

Like earning 1mil influence for each characters so they can get a P2W fly power? You can email yourself influence and spread some around to all your characters.

er, what?

Currently, rotating in-base entry portal does not change the direction that you enter your base. I know I could figure out which way (alll) base portals are ejecting character, and build my bases around which direction my characters are exiting the base portal, but I would like to simply be able to rotate the base portal to change which direction the characters exit from it. I don't know how much a hassle this will be. I don't know if it has ever even been looked at. For me, it always ends up being to be to cause characters to exit to the left when entering a base due to the way that I set up my bases. I always thought I was going directly into a base when creating it, pulling the in-base portal to the side of the map nearest me, but, apparently, I need to move the portal to the right of the screen so I will be focusing going into my base, but I think rotating the base portal (any in base portal for that matter) to change the direction of the exit from the portal would be more aesthetically pleasing.

Didn't go to the zone. Didn't have time to run around looking for where it was. It wasn't listed in the Nav bar or the mission information through the nav menu. It is usually there.

if they did a mission a day, then that would mean they are logging in everyday, so none of renaming standards listed would open up the name for someone else. You're logic is flawed.
