[Base tour video looking for suggestions]

Moved to base forum per request!

I was half and half as to whether this should go in Bases, or Arts & Multimedia. If you decide to expand your content to include more than just bases, let me know and I can move the thread again 😃

And hit "Create Event"; then you should be able to select a name, date(s) it's being run and make a post, which will be linked to when people click the name on the calendar, An event won't show up until a GM approves it, thought!

Also, sorry for the late reply, this got away from me!

[Silly suggestion: Allow emotes while resting]

I'm not 100% sure on the mechanics, to be honest; the fact that you already cannot use emotes while resting either means that something about "rest" interrupts emotes anyway (like if you're emoting and suddenly get hit by a buff or an attack, it stops), OR, it's just flagged to ignore emotes? I don't see anything in City of Data though... Hopefully, it would be an easy fix. My only worry is people would emote while resting, forget they have Rest toggled, and be very confused/upset why their character isn't responding to the controls anymore!

[New Back Detail Category: WEAPONS]

Hey, completely off-topic *cough*, have you played the ASF? The part where you fight Apex?

Next time you do, just... keep a close eye on him.

We now return to your regularly scheduled topic, already in progress 😃

[Silly suggestion: Allow emotes while resting]

I feel like this sort of thing could be easily implemented via a custom power animation in the tailor... with the main drawback being that you'd only be able to use the one animation you choose for each costume slot. But if there were a way to be able to select any animation while resting, that would be cool, too!

[Access to Powers At All Levels After Acquisition]

Alright, look.

Pretty much EVERYONE ELSE has been telling you you're either contradicting yourself, or flat out wrong. Your refusal to accept that means you're unwilling to discuss this idea in good faith. And since it's getting heated in here as a result, I have little choice but to close this thread.

Thank you for your feedback.

[Access to Powers At All Levels After Acquisition]

12 hours ago, Mark said:

Everything past SBB feels like a race to leave your team behind and clear the objectives as fast as possible. My favorite missions are DFB, DIB, Posi 1+2, Yin and SBB because they require the team to spend a little time interacting with each other to figure out a good team pace. They don't take long and they allow players to focus on using their powers instead of trying to keep up with the person teleporting to the objectives.

 

This is the crux of your reasoning for wanting this change.

 

However, you have to realize that if OTHER PLAYERS also had access to their level 50 powers for this content, then that content, too, would become a race? The reason all of these (except SBB for obvious reasons) are paced so well, is BECAUSE players only have a small handful of powers.

 

Which is why everyone here is confused as to your reasoning for wanting this change. It would cause they very thing you dislike to occur on content you enjoy.

 

If you want to use your full suite of powers in content designed for it that isn't going to devolve into a race, might I suggest the Aeon SF using one of the higher challenge settings? All those explody Brickernauts will slow down the speeders 😃

[Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power]

Alright folks, enough arguing in circles, I'm getting dizzy here.

It's okay to not like something, or be disappointed in the direction it's going. But it's also okay for a show or movie to go in directions you may not like.

Now discuss anything else about the trailer, but give the woke/sjw/reactionary/whatever complaining a rest for now, okay?

[Contest Creation Help]

Personally, I'm a bit confused about the need for a website for this sort of thing, especially when you could just run it off the forums here.

But, if that's how you wanna do it, I don't really see any issue. The only thing I'd think to amend is the final line at the bottom, should say that you're not affiliated with the City of Heroes: Homecoming Team.

You might also want to disclaim which shard the Supergroups that are hosting/funding this are based out of.

That said, I'll double check with some higher-ups, just to make sure that all bases are covered 😃

[Ghoul King from Helix arc issue]

So apparently doing this Arc AFTER First Ward causes the Ghoul King to not respond the way he's supposed to, and soft-locks progression. He just says "Thank You" (instead of asking for the cure) and doesn't trigger the near by Man Eater to turn hostile.

Here's the /showobjective spam:

 1 DefendGhoulKing [succeeded]
 2 TalkToGhoulKing [initialized]
 3 TalkToVahz2 [succeeded and failed]

[Cannot Log in]

Sorry for the lack of any official response on this so far, but it does seem like there's some outages going on that are out of our (or OVH's) control.

😞

 

[Beta / Test gone missing from launcher]

First, moved to Help and Support.

 

Second, Paragon Chat isn't enabled on the HC Launcher. So if that's something that's important to you, maybe just keep Tequila installed.

[Managing Dark Armor's 3 Debuff Toggles]

Hiya, welcome to the forums!

I've moved this thread tot he Archetypes section, as powerset discussions are a bit more on-topic there. Maybe it will get some more traction there, as well!

[Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power]

Okay folks, let's calm it down and be nice! It's okay for other people to have an opinion on things.

[EMP Arrow hold]

Powers discussion should probably be in the AT section, so, moved 😃

 

Also, unsure if it's an issue with CoD or something else. I'm sure someone will come up with an answer for you, though!

[Is there a way to play music in a specific room rather than the entire base?]

There IS a command to start a sound effect or music track when entering the base!

See here, under "Music"
 

 

[Well warp travel is reality now. But by accident.]

Moved to Off-Topic.

Cool video, though, thanks for sharing!

Before i post it i need to ask if i should remove my machines ID or not? 

 

 

Just to be safe, yeah. If you want to take an extra step of safety, you can PM me directly with the file instead of posting it in the thread; I assure you our users' privacy and security is our top priority, so nothing bad will happen with it that way 😃

[City Of Heroes won't start up.]

Let's get as much info as we can here.

In the HC launcher, click the little gear icon. In "General Settings". What does it say under "Install Location"?

Next, click "Advanced Settings". Make sure the three boxes are unchecked, and that the Launcher version reads "win-x64-release-4772". If the number is lower than that, click "Check for updates" right next to that.

Exit out of there and close/minimize the launcher.

In your Windows search bar, type in "dxdiag" without the quotes and hit Enter. A little program will pop up showing lots of info about your computer. If the Notes Section at the bottom of any of the tabs/pages lists any errors, copy and paste them here. Otherwise, just click the "Save all information" button, and make note of where you save dxdiag.txt. Open this file (it'll open in notepad) and make sure it doesn't contain any personal info; the file will be very large with lots of technical jargon, but any personal info would likely appear near the top (particularly if you named your computer "YourRealName's Computer" or something); Delete any such info, save the file, then attach it in a reply here.

 

[City Of Heroes won't start up.]

Hmm, let's try something a bit more basic.

Under the "play" button is three small dots. Click that, then mouse over to "Verify" and click that. This will make sure all the game files are installed correctly.

[Odd graphical "stippling" after setting up new computer...]

Looks like it's happening in the background, too.

Have you properly updated all your drivers?

As this is a shadow setting, I would try disabling anything having to do with shadows in both the regular and advanced graphics options, then slowly turning them on/up from there. There might also be a mismatch with your resolution settings.

You could also try going into the launcher settings (hit the ... under the play button and hit settings) and check on the box that says "Reset graphic settings on next run". This will switch everything to default, and then you can readjust your settings from there (just make sure to uncheck this box before the next time you log in, or else it'll reset your settings again!)

It's kind of a shame, because I feel like people going for the "Golden Age/early Silver Age" look would actually get a kick out of this, as it looks like old-school coloring.

[Generi-Hammered.]

Hi.

I'll find out which GM did the deed and have them contact you/respond to your ticket. Apologies for the delay.

As corrective actions are a private matter between GMs and the affected player(s), I will be closing this topic to further replies.

[Any people from Champion?]

Hey folks.

 

I've hidden several posts, as things were starting to get heated.

 

And I'll take this opportunity to remind everyone that we do not allow harassment of any kind on our servers, forums, or discord. Whatever experiences folks may have had on Live, we do our best to make sure everyone here feels safe, and thoroughly investigate all reports of harassment and misbehavior. 

[Suggestion - Status on Friends List]

Suggestions go in the suggestions sub forum, so, moved 😃

[Paying extra for improvements]

I'm pretty sure this isn't an avenue the HC team will be exploring.

 

It's great that people want more options to support the project, and getting more content is always a plus. However, most of the posters above have already pointed out why this isn't likely to happen. Additionally, it would set a bad precedent and make future potential volunteers not want to do so unless THEY get paid, or even current staff might start going "Heeeyyyy...".

 

So yeah, potential fustercluck all around.
