  1. But you should be able to hide it .... unless they removed that option.
  2. I don't need to get warmer. Tell us what you mean. Specifically, what powers are you looking for with what SFX? ?! yeah. I'm done.
  3. I've always used a controller to play. Pretty early on playing COH, I started using a Logitech Gamepad 310 which is basically like the wired controller for a PlayStation 2. My controller configurations and tray setups are found here :: The only keybind changes that I have made is to change the "cancel power" from "z" to "~" as in never cancel a power using "z", and I've historically used "z" for push-to-talk in TeamSpeak and Discord.
  4. Current UI layout Usually, I have my heal macro in tray 2 slot 7. However, if my character has some primary or secondary power that is a heal, I'll put it in tray 2 slot 7 and move the 2nd heal macro down to tray 3 slot 7. Sometimes this gets me into trouble because of my standardization methods (thinking I trigger slot 7 in my active tray multiple times to fire of the heal macro versus a power that needs time to recharge). If this happens too much when I'm playing, I swap the heal power with the heal macro or move move the heal power over to the autofire position - so it goes off whenever it recharges).
  5. Plenty of threads recently dissing on Storm Blast. An easy search could have found them. I find it to be pretty OP in the game content (versus end-game) with advance tactics. I know that isn't just me. I know there are plenty of people that are posting distaste or plain hatred of it.
  6. Will that be a power customization for the Sonic or Symphony sets?!
  7. My "macro tool kit" for new characters: /macro try1 "goto_tray 1" /macro try2 "goto_tray 2" /macro Heal "inspexec_name respite$$inspexec_name dramatic_improvement$$inspexec_name resurgence" /macro Auction AH /macro flw "follow" /macro fx0 "noparticles 1" /macro fx1 "noparticles 0" /macro Grat "team Gratz!$$e clap" /macro Thks "team Thanks!$$e bow" /macro x "petcomall dismiss" /macro Key "enterbasefrompasscode x" ^^^ where x = a base's passcode - most of the time one that I created on the current server^^ this is used to get into a base before I go back and add the new character to an existing sg with /altinvite. If you need access to a base on a server and don't have one - no problem check here :: https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Excelsior_Base_List https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Everlasting_Base_List https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Torchbearer_Base_List https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Reunion_Base_List https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Indomitable_Base_List I put most of my main powers into tray 1 along with a button to heal and try2 to flip to tray 2 as active. My tray 2 is for secondary powers along with a button to heal and try1 to flip to tray 1 as active. So my main tray stack look like: 2 3 1 (active tray - so this one toggles between tray 1 and 2 with the tray change macros) 3 is in the middle and holds powers that have to be targeted on the ground or want easy access to, but don't want in tray 1 or 2. Toggle powers go into another tray that is only for toggle powers. FX0-macro turns off a large amount of SFX but not all of them. [So "all white" characters and some SFX may still be an issue to some with eye issues] FX1-marco turns SFX back on, but you have to zone for it to fully reset some SFX to "on"/"show" mode. ---- if I immediately make other costumes, I'll set-up costume changes as well. ---- /macro name "cc #" /macro name "cce # ccemote" /macro IB "cce # ccemote$$goto_tray 9" /macro Super "cce # ccemote$$goto_tray 1" name = name of your macro cce # = slot # first slot is 0, second is 2, etc ccemote = one of these below (eg. ccspin) ccbackflip cchowl ccevillaugh ccspin ccnuke cclightning ccprestochango ccdrinkformula ccsmokebomb ccninjaleap CCDimensionShift ccfurburst ccsalute ccvanguardsigil cccast ccsuperserum ccenergymorph ccrapidboil ccfeatherburst ccfurspin ccoilstrike ccpressurerelease cciceblock ccstoneblock ccfireworks ccpureenergy ccnuke ccmurderofcrows ccconfettithrow ccgiftburst ccinnerwill cclightmagic ccrainbow The Super and IB macros are for when I make an innocent bystander costume, and I don't want the character to have access to super-powers in their non-powered form. The powers that I don't consider to be superpowers are loaded into tray 9 along with the Super macro to change into Super form (which also flips to tray 1 where my main superpowers are located). I put the IB macro button and a second Super macro button into another tray that I would also have any additional costume change emotes located in. ----- So what does your "macro tool kit" for new characters look like?
  8. I can't quote across pages, but you said "Dark melee, dark armor, dark affinity, and dark miasma, are a lot of sets to redo into a light or holy sets I know." What do you mean by "redo into a light or holy sets"? My assumption was that you want the same power SFX with different visuals. Easiest way to do that is with color customization. I have characters that use the dark blast as a "light or holy set", and I do it through power customization by color customization. I will agree that "soul conception" has dark/demonic implications. What would you call a light/holy based power that sucks hit points out of an enemy and give them to you? For character conception reasons, a player could simply not pick that power for their light/holy character. There are plenty other powers to choose from.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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?
  13. This is my favorite. To avoid dying 90% of the time, simply "don't die".
  14. Power customization. Change the color.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. who needs multiple accounts? And what is the harm in little profit for bringing the goods to the people?
