It looks like this thread is only looking negative comments about the set. There are other negative threads about it, so you are not alone. I, however, find storm blast to be OP in game content (versus end-game) if you know how to utilize it.

Is the "eating ramen" reaction meant to be the new "eating popcorn" reaction? I eat a lot of ramen because I like it, so it falls in line [thumbsup>ramen>like>thanks] to me. But then I'm kind of wishy-washy then I have tended just to use the thumbsup or thanks for while now depending if I like the post or I more heartily agree with/support the post. I'm figuring the television is "I'm Lost". Not sure why anyone would use that - there is that guy in game that keeps trying to make a joke about that one Lost guy with the television on his head always having it set to the ugly channel. He's vowed never to stop until someone laughs.... I have no idea what a Domingator is so I leave that one alone. Dominican Alligator? Dominator with Kenny G music in their little black hearts? So I guess it does seem to imply something dangerous and pain inflicting on some level. Thinking of Kenny G music is a little terrifying. Bulgaria? I guess they just randomly add countries but we didn't get the other ones due to political reasons. I'm guessing this means that Bulgaria is very neutral and not a point of political contention. My best guess it means "I read your post but I have no reaction to it" - "I'm neutral on this post". Accordion? I can't figure if that's "time to dance" ("start the polka!") or a new "kicking a dead horse" reaction. So maybe a good reaction on the Jukebox thread?! I agree with the satellite being "Big Brother is watching". Regardless of who is "The Man"/"Rulers"/"Watchers"/"Telecommunication Service" at the time.

You mean like, different from Blizzard (the nuke) in Ice Blast? https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Ice_Blast#Blizzard Ice blast was one of the original blaster sets. Cat 5 works pretty much the same way that Blizzard does.

Is it comedy? Is it serious? Is it satire? And for the chosen few .... is it chips or is it crisps? Or as others might say ... Pancakes or waffles?

This is my favorite. To avoid dying 90% of the time, simply "don't die".

Power customization. Change the color.

I don't know what it is like in the end-game. I don't play the end-game. In the actual game, storm blast seems to be OP.

Very rarely. I PUG during most of my CITY gaming time. When this does happen, it is often the time to start talking about team tactics or the team simply hasn't gelled. Oh, you are that one that always tries to cause team wipes. Which server do you play on? I would say you are playing a tank correctly in some cases. I would suggest .... If you have the star, go for it. If you don't have the star, - at the least - make sure you are going in the same direction as the team lead before jumping in.

I would just leave those fields in issue empty, save the file, exit AE editor, go back in, and then ... copy-and-paste in the missing text and see if it saves out You might also want to try copy-and-pasting the text causing the error out to notepad, deleting it in the editor, and then copy-and-pasting it back in from notepad. There may be some stray special characters that are causing an issue that you can't even see in the text. Running it through notepad (copy-paste in and back out) should clear any unseen or special character stuff related to the text that may be non-compatible. I've used google docs to write/edit text, but I just do it a field at a time and not the entire .storyarc file.

Not so true here.... ...at least on servers other than Excelsior. Excelsior is where you go if you want to expect bad manners. And I mean that from repeated observation. Not an attack because it is what it is. usually a couple of comments and people will quiet down or move to another channel. We have a very helpful community on many servers and blocking /help with garbage (non-help related info) or snide comments isn't helpful. The same goes for LFG. It's disruptive for those trying to recruit, even if they are recruiting for a DFB.

People are scared of the star. If there isn't a team looking for more. the best solution is to start a team and recruit.

who needs multiple accounts? And what is the harm in little profit for bringing the goods to the people?

Thanks for clarifying. I had missed that in past discussions about possible server mergers. I am glad that it is there for for the players on the European side simply do to the "ping". I am glad that hear that it wouldn't be shutdown or merged, but just ported to the same free structure system as the NA servers. Thanks for providing the info.

I figured, but I don't know if one of the other CoH Server groups (Thunderspy and whatnot) had a Defiant server or not. Sorry about that. Maybe you should leave the characters with "very good names" on Reunion and make other characters if you are trying to fill some gap in your character base on the new server that you moved ot. Lead teams that are actively recruited thorough /lfg. Be friendly to new players. Be friendly to each other. Help out in the /help channel when people ask questions. ... and I was serious about social media ... Posting videos on YouTube or streaming on twitch might get people interested as well. Does combining servers change the number of players? Who gets to keep a name if it is already existing on the other server? Who gets to keep the name of a supergroup if it exist on the other server? Who gets to keep a base if it has the same base number? This discussion comes up every now and again. I'm against it. If it comes down to the player base not being able to pay for all 5 servers, then I could see that as a reason to think about giving people time to move characters to another server before it is taken down, but I would still be against a of server merger.

The Market is the best PVP in City of Heroes. It alway has been.

You're just intentionally trying to cause tension in the forums at this point.

You are correct. The DEVs have taken steps in Homecoming to curb the farming. BTW, I started about a week before issue 2 dropped. I saw maps of war wolves crammed into containers by tanks and all nuked by a single blaster ... there was no limit on the targets for nuke back then either. I said never again. If I find myself in a powerleveling situation, I'll leave . I will admit to the guilty pleasure of holiday events. I stand by what I said. I think there are far more players farming than there are utilizing the market for trading.

wow. you get that from me /e facepalming farming and powerleveling? Nothing is forcing you to market it you don't want to. To me, I was first against powerleveling. Some missions that were routinely farmed had timers put on them to stop farming Then the AE came out ... The AE farms are power-leveling on steroids. What was to be a creative tools for players to create and share content was turned into a farming-fest and power-leveling tool. If anything, CoH was turned into a power-leveling farming game and not a marketing simulator. Players join and don't want to bother playing the actual game because they can get power-leveled to 50 in a couple of hours. I'm going to hold back saying any more.

Well. Yes. Often times, if you join a team and you are considered to be the healer/buffer then the rest of the team decides that they can play it more risky and expect you to keep up with buffing and healing rather than using your other powers. It is annoying enough when you see the behavior. It is more annoying if someone jumps on you for not keeping up with buffing them. I don't play "buffers" all that often so I'm not exposed to the actual attacks for "not doing your job" that often, but pretty much every time that occurs, it makes me more unlikely to play a "buffer". To be fair, I haven't seen bad-mouthing of any team behavior on Torchbearer or Everlasting for as far as I can remember. I have never run into it on Reunion. Indomitable is a ghost town most times that I log into it. So that would only leave one server....

I play on all the servers. Most of the time, I game on Torchbearer or Everlasting. If you are having a hard time finding a team on the most populated server - Excelsior - then there are probably more than 100 other players waiting from someone else to post that they are LFM for a team. If you don't see a /lfg message looking for team members, then start your own team. There are most likely 100 other players out there waiting for someone else to do the recruiting. Other players will join you. I lead teams all the time. I play the game and not the end-game. I intentionally look to see of there are players in a level range that aren't on teams and start teams for that character level. If more players did that, then there would be more /lfg activity, but, it seems, historically, that players are afraid of the star. Tip: if you want to run a certain mission arc or task force, it is easier lead/recruit a team and run the arc/task force than it is to wait for someone else to decide to do that content that you want to do - possible exception is the WTF (weekly task force).

I only have around 150 characters at this point, so no where near 1000, but thanks for inquiring! I guess I should also say that "he" is an assumption from your part. I figure I should add that. We tend to ignore the use of masculine in English due to the Germanic influence on the language. I understand that, but THE CITY has historically had a much larger percentage of female gamers than other MMORPGs.

First off, Yomo offered. 2nd, I rarely see players asking in game for influence. 3rd, if a player ask for some influence in game, I generally give them some. Other players do as well. And, I will round that out with ... When I first started, a player PUG-ed with me. We talked about playing before the sunset. They gave me 30M. I invested that in the market rather than buying things. I started in the IO non-set crafting market. I made enough to start buying things with the profits. Kept trading on the market. Advanced into set IO crafting. Passed wealth through emails to my new characters. Every character trading on the market. I don't farm. I don't power-level. I play the game. Not the end-game. I'm pretty sure of myself that I have far more influence and stored enhances for supergroup use than most probably all farmers that don't trade on the Market. Fact is that farmers are stuffing influence into my pockets as fast as they can. I am not going to go on my anti-farming rant. I've done it plenty of times in detail. You play how you want to play, but I'm against farming on all levels except for the influence that Farmers keep throwing at me by the bucket load.
