I just had some one ask last night about a bio / TW tanker. any feedback on this (or a build) would be super ❤️

Kal, is there some sort of way to volunteer for boring busy work to help them implement things? Like i can't program but i have organized plenty of data. Just trying to think of ways to help a project like this 🙂

Oh i'm totally on board with the idea that some may look funny. and that devs shouldn't spend valuable time tryin to make girl sits look just right for boys and vice versa. BUT i think all the CoH animations have strange side effects already, right now. normal sized women look like children in chairs. beds are like 16 feet long. its fine. if a gigantoid wants to sassily lean over awaiting his time being drawn like a french girl, then having that option would be great 🙂. we already have to reposition in accordance with how big our character is to make current animations work. I would just love to see all the villian/other/npc animations as player options even if it's as simply implimented as /me npcanimation1 /me npcanimation2 etc.

ungendered emotes would be great too.

oh i would kill for them to be account wide. i would pay the p2w vendor a handsome fee to copy my teleporter unlocks to the alts on the same account.

I'm following the shield/martial arts build from the tanker god thread and it's amazingly fun. super fast animations and wacky kicks. shield charge.

Can we please have the lounging emote that bobcat uses? I'd love all the animations to be player usable as emotes, but this one would be particularly useful as I enjoy loafing around like a cat. I saw an npc in a SG base posed like that! its not just a bobcat thing!

I was on a high level character (rogue) flying through nova praetor to mentor with a friend. when i opened the costume slector (menu, drop down to costume). it would crash my game. I did a file resync thingy to make sure my files weren't corrupt. it happened again. i tried to do it via hotkey (menu, K) and it crashed. i could use the trainer to change costume and it didn't happen when i changed character.

I get portal jockey by doing the villain version: https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/Born_in_Battle_Badge the only complication is that you need the "take 1 million damage" badge, which is done over 2 nights or less sitting in a circle of thorns red crystal while you sleep.

my first character on homecoming was a gold controller. metronome fight like that was just silly 🙂

that makes sense. I think it'd be really specific, like...lets say you have a natural character with no travel powers. you could do all the exploration on a flier then woodchipper them over to sally-walking-shoes.

Idea: A command to reduce the range at which you perceive local chat. /csupress 0-X (where X is the current max). usage: If you're chatting with your friend in a SG base, pocket D or atlas park, and maybe you like to hear your friend, but don't want to hear the next group over. you could do /csupress 10, where you only hear local in 10 feet. But when you're out in the field, maybe you want the max. This would be super helpful for parties and SG clubs and such. also, maybe have it reset to zone default when you leave the zone, so that you only sort of initiate it when you want to have a quiet conversation in the corner of a bar or club.

Right some times changes make things worse for you, but often people don't realize how the play style of somethin gwil lbe till they're level 50 with all their enhancements in place. newer players will often try to smell all the roses they can when they level up. purposely doing TF's when they level, or getting all their exploration badges. it feels bad to do all that, and then to later realize that your powerset plays poorly, or unfun. Or you discover a powerset you like more. There's a lot of reasons. a simpler answer may be "badge unlocks are account wide". some badges do other things besides accolades. this is also especially pertinent with the teleport changes where you have to go to all the zones and stand on a plate to use the group TP.

I think if you have to wood-chipper the old character, to merge into another, then you won't have it happen very often. ALTHOUGH i suppose people could make disposable characters to merge in? would that be a beneficial thing? hmm.

Idea: option to 'character merge'. what that actually means is that you pick a character to keep. and another you don't want to keep. All your badges and accolades are pushed to the surviving character. the other is deleted. Possibly all the enhancements are mailed to that other character. Why? Some times you make a character, level it to max, then realize you hate the powerset, or that some other powerset fits your concept better. or the powerset you started with was radically changed by updates. Toss that character into the wood chipper and move badges to the one you enjoy! My actual real dream would be being able to change powersets on characters and remain the same character (like changing jobs in final fantasy 14), but I know the game is ancient and can't do all these things. Thank you for reading my ill-conceived idea! ❤️
