So Eagle's Claw is not a cone attack, anymore? (Keeping track of stuff done in beta, reverted in live, etc makes my pinhead hurt) 🙂

Hiya, Admins: I've been trying to follow the whole thread to address my question specifically, but I guess I should just start a question of my own and ask right out: Has Martial Artist "Eagle's Claw" been restored to a single-target Melee attack? It say it has when I look at it in my main's "Manage" window, and I sure hope that's true, because it was dismal as a cone attack.

I enjoy playing pretty much every side in the game. I probably have a slightly different perspective than most folks because I drew comics in my youth, then I was an actor for years before becoming a full-time writer, so for me, characterization is everything; it’s at least as important to me as costume design and power selection. Every one of my characters has a bio, many of them get different accents on Discord when I play them (I always loved voiceover work!) and the only one who gets played 100% like myself is my main. So I’m free to be as noble or creepy, jaded or enthusiastic, heroic or villainous with them as fits their concepts because they are all separate roles in a big animated series. I guess you could say that the voices in my head have been very good to me over the years, and since I’m not inclined to publish a line of comics showcasing my creations, I sort of indulge them in CoH. And all that really matters to me is that I have the game back to do it. ❤️

... iiiiIIIIIIII KNEW it!!! 🤯

Crimson Commissar and Geistermaschine have hi-jacked my account to tell you all that OH, YOU’LL BOW DOWN!!! OH, YES, YOU WILL!!! They like all caps and exclamation points. Crazy SOBs... 🤷‍♂️

So do I.

Awesome! Thanks, GM_Jimmy!

Dear Admins: I'm on the Excelsior Server, and I'd like to plan on doing the Clockwork Paladin Event in Kings Row, but I am told it's pretty buggy and we need to ask you folks to set up a special zone to do it in. I honestly feel kind of guilty bugging you about this. So, full disclosure: I have a character who "collects" robot pets (a robots MM who unleashes metal terrorism on an unsuspecting world, blah, blah, blah...), so I use up the five Knights Errant every couple of weeks or so, if not sooner. Is there a regular schedule for this event, or are there plans to fix the bug? Perhaps we could earn the Knight Errant temporary power reward some other way? Anyway, thanks for your time, and for all you do for us! @DASHER

I'm sure this has been said before, but Body Armor desperately needs improving. It's currently the weakest buff of its kind in the Epic set. For those of us who don't care to hop between alignments, it would be nice if it was elevated to be more like a Resistance version of Scorpion's Shield. (LRM could use a bit of tweaking, as well; perhaps make it non-interruptible.) Thanks!

This. A thousand times, THIS!!!

Did you play on Protector server, in a Supergroup called the Guardians? We were Dasher, Pele Winters, Deathrattle, Infuego, Fire Salamander, Flamestrike, Nuclear Nut, Traveller. Nature Lord, Kiley and several others.

I'm looking for a list of all the NPCs who spawn for Heroes and Villains when using the four different "Signature Summon" temporary powers one can buy from the Pay To Win vendor. I know they are Melee, Ranged, Support and Tank, but I don't know who shows up for Heroes and who shows up for villains. I'm playing two Robots Masterminds, one Hero and one Villain, and I'm hoping Siege/Citadel and/or Nightstar/Luminary are among the Signature Summonables to add to my crew. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I see a real problem with this as it further weakens Scrappers, especially as compared to Stalkers. With this change, my main, a Level 50 Scrapper, loses his Alpha Strike Single Target to a Cone; even if it does the same amount of damage, re-classifying it as a PBAoE means that, while my main is able to slot Hecatomb here and Armageddon in Dragon's Tail, any other Scrapper I get to 50 will only have Armageddon in one or the other. That's my practical objection to another loss of potential to Scrappers; Stalkers have been improved to the point where Scrappers are already taking a backseat, and MA Stalkers will still be able to slot Hecatomb and Armageddon, making Stalkers (once again) that much better and Scrappers that much weaker. And promising that my character who already has it won't be changed isn't the point; I'm not one of those "I got mine, screw everybody else" people, and I have more Scrappers in the pipeline. At this point, my only option is to spend everything on Buying Hecatombs and power-level my nascent Scrappers to 50. In conclusion: Eagle's Claw is not broken, Please do not "fix" it. Please don't do this.

I like your solution. This is fair.

Argh. Well, thanks for answering!

The GUARDIANS are calling out to you! We are on Excelsior Server, and you can reach us through @DASHER. If you see this, please get in touch; almost the whole gang is back! Dasher Pele Winters Gothic Athena Fire Salamander Dreameater Ice Nymph

Is there a way to place an AV - or anything else, for that matter - in a specific location on a map, beyond just "Any, Front, Middle or Back"? I'm trying to get a cultist summoning stuff on the rooftop of President Marchand's offices, and I can't get the Big Bad to spawn above the second floor. Thanks in advance!

I just used the Loyalists as Non-Combat captives and settled for no crowds, at least for now. At least it provided variety in them which I didn't have to craft on a per-unit basis, so that was very helpful, thanks!

Aha! Thanks, I will try that! YIKES!!!

Sorry if the answer to this is obvious or well-known, but... How do I populate a mission with lots of non-combatant Persons, like a dance rave or a museum gala? Thanks in advance!

I'm delighted to throw my hat in the ring: Global: @DASHER Supergroup: The League Against Nemesis Base Passcode: LEAGUE-11865 Status: FINISHED The base is for a Steampunk-themed SG whose members are dedicated to opposing Lord Nemesis throughout the time stream. As such, it incorporates elements of both technology and magic, and is open to any alignment. Originally established in the Victorian Era, the League's base design is meant to evoke a private London club. It has a small trophy area with a large cage, currently holding a wrecked Warhulk, which is reserved for a suit of Lord Nemesis' armor, if not the man, himself. All amenities are available and all zones with teleport beacons are accessible. The entry holds a memorial to those members who have fallen in the battle against Nemesis. The "address" over the entry - 28125 - is the number of the AE adventure "All Forever in a Day" which introduces players to the League and invites them to join. The souvenir from that adventure is a key with the base entry code "LEAGUE-11865" engraved on it. Rooms and amenities are labelled by symbols rather than names to communicate their purpose to all cultures and species without using a specific language. Skylight views reveal transport vehicles and technological details. After much work, it was described by one member as feeling "cozy", at which point I knew it was FINISHED.

I really wish it were possible to move bases to different servers, or even duplicate them there in a single operation. It would help free up the congestion on Excelsior by allowing players to migrate if they found they preferred a roleplaying or PvP experience, but don't want to have to re-build vast, intricate bases. And to those who have dismissed my desire with the throwaway line "When you move, your house doesn't move with you", that one doesn't provide much comfort when you have over five SGs in coalition, and their bases consist of an extra-dimensional London club, a Trident ballistic missile submarine, two Zeppelins and a flying saucer. Oh, and in real life, I had a mobile home for a year! Just sayin'. 🙂

A way to make walls transparent, so windows or "viewscreens" look outside. Otherwise we have to move up above the base and build in the "ether". That's hard. 🙂

You are going to hate me for this, but I labored over that, too, until I realized I needed to rotate it like a second hand on a clock. I'm serious, it was weeks before I figured that out. Imma go stand in the corner, now.
