  1. Oml..! πŸ˜„ Now this is just too good to pass up and not try out lol. I can only hope that somewhere in this is Leroy Jenkins, so (we) can just beat the snot out of lol... 😁 "Have you ever tried the AE before? No? Well, give it a try and see, and maybe YOU can be a AE designer too." - T
  2. For a second I thought this thread was created by @Snarky, but then I remembered that he don't eat SPAM, the dirty snaggle toothed bloodsucker that he is... 😁 Ohhh, and please don't call that number! For after doing a bit of research, I discovered that this "Chris Jenkins" is the illegitimate younger brother of none other than... Leeroy Jenkins himself! 🀯 Sooo... Let the buyer beware! "LEEROY JENKINS!!!" - T
  3. Well at least @Snarky would have a fresh blood bank all ready for him, close to home and all lol... πŸ˜› "Hey, did you hear about the world's largest baloon duck? Yeah, me either..." - T
  4. Amen @Snarky, amen... "Wait what?! @Snarky said some very true words of wisdom? From a Vampire no less? Will wonders never cease..!" - T
  5. Ohhh, I actually do agree with you @TriumphantπŸ™‚ And totally am with adjustments made to CoH that would improve the quality of life for all concerned. Including the one's, both big and small, that you listed (and more). In am just pragmatic in what can be done considering the game's age, the code that has been written to make it, and the graphics' engine used therein. Generally a balanced view of things overall, and just enjoy the living miracle that this game is. πŸ™‚ Though, if improvements to the Blue Caves could be made (and I have no idea if they could), just removing all the wooden beams alone would make things a lot easier to get around the place, including those Civilians and such that we sometimes have to escort out of them. That I would be way in favor of, but not something like expanding the tunnels themselves to make them bigger, as I feel that could break things. But who knows, if it wouldn't, that would be cool to see... Though it's a non issue for me as I myself have learned to get around fairly easily, sands anything like being speed boosted in them lol. As far as @Snarky goes, he's fairly harmless (unless your holding up a bag of blood, then look out), a great dude imo, and is a priceless treasure here, along with several others here as well. But, he's @Snarky, so one's mileage may vary hehehe. Poke @Snarky! And as far as the "wooden literal sense" statement you said, well I have also been a old school Captain Kirk fan since the show came out, and well... sometimes William Shatner's performance comes out in me lol. And while I played and LOVED Neverwinter Nights, and totally agree with what you are saying about it's own "improvements", that game holds no where near the Nostalgia that CoH has for me. Though with NWN's, there are always the Mods... 😁 It's my home away from home actually, and being Disabled, a true blessing to me... both as a game and the community overall as well and the friends I have made in it. Not to mention the Dev's too, who never seem to get enough credit for what they have, and still do, worked on and given us (in a volunteer way too mind you). To me I am satisfied with how the game is, and what is being done with it, but hey... I am easily satisfied these days. So that's just on me. I am super happy that you are enjoying the game, as are we all, and am happy you are here. Maybe we'll team up one day? Who knows... 😁 "Every day is just a brand new chapter in your book of life. Write a great one." - T
  6. Ok, after reading threw these and others comments on a topic the OP did not ask about (not that really matters much these days lol), I figure I'll add my thoughts to this, and maybe end it for now... 😁 Basically, it's like this @Triumphant... What you originally said on page one was right, in both feeling and content. But unfortunately, with a game as old as CoH is, it is fairly impossible to update these blue cave maps without a TON of work, and even if it was done, it might just break them beyond repair, which is why it would be cheaper and easier to just make a new CoH instead (which has also been debated a lot in the past). Especially with the game code and graphics engine used to make it in the first place, which I forget the name of atm (sorry). As I am sure you would agree on. So again, as I have said comedically before, "if wishes were horses, beggars would ride" lol. πŸ™‚ But the nostalgia we old timers here feel about the game is another story, and I disagree with age of the people involved being a real big factor here for the most part. No, its just the fact that us old times grew to LOVE this game, it's uniqueness, and the community on many, many level's, despite the Dev's not necessarily always feeling the same way. To some of them, it was all about money... not for us. Which is why when one asks about how someone felt when the game's sunset hit, you'll hear things like... "I cried my eyes out", or "I am angry as hell", or other not so kind words. Back then, and to an extent even now, CoH was not just a game, it was a way of life, love fest, and from the heart, in a time that will never come again. In this I am sure you can relate too, being 54 years old and all (Hi @Triumphant! My name is T'rel, or T as some call me, and I am not only a Altaholic, but I am also 59 years old too. πŸ˜ƒ Glad to meet ya.) And of course, when the game came back, it was like light and miracle shining down on all of us "old timers", and instead of tears of sadness, tears of joy fell instead. It was... a HUGE blessing, one in which none of us should ever take for granted or forget. Because it may have never come. We old timers here are passionate about this "game", and as I am sure you know, passionate people will defend something they love with all their heart and might. So while you absolutely correct, and we sensible people here respect your words, we may not agree with them (for the most part). Which is ok too, because as my Dad used to say, "If everyone was the same, someone would not be needed". So the nostalgia will only happen with something you LOVE, in which you have spent years involved with, and boy the stories we could tell... and have before. It is a matter of the heart really, more than age, and that's a great thing too imo. This community is the BEST of any game out there today, as is many aspects of this game itself (like the character creator for example) imo. And you are a part of that. So welcome aboard, have a beer and seat, and enjoy the ride along with us all. πŸ™‚ "You may like it, or not like it, but you better love it, because it's the best thing going today!" - T
  7. Scarlet Snarky Shocker...? Snarky Scarlet Shocker...? Scarlet Shocker Snarky...? Which one of these is not like the other's? 😁 "Have you ever danced with the devil (or Snarky) in the pale moonlight?" - T
  8. If that is the one I am thinking of... the room with the giant robot is in, then no. That is one of my favorite rooms in the game, if only for the real giant robot. πŸ™‚ Other than that, I (as others have mentioned) cannot stand the blue tunnel maps, especially the cake room (which I can easily get around in actually). And especially when I have to escort a civilian mission. They tend to at least once, get hung up in the tunnels, even though the "pathing" is much better these days. Ahhh well, such is gaming life... Ya gotta take the good, with the bad, with the ugly. Tis the only way to live... πŸ™‚ "Mr Snarky, the snaggle toothed Vampire, needs money (or a life). So if you send all the donations to me, I will make sure he gets them post haste. Thank you'z. πŸ˜„" - T
  9. lol... πŸ˜„ Make it! You can do it! 😼
  10. Yup, there tends to be a delay at time (though not always), and I think it's because of what emote you are using in conjunction with the other commands, whether it be Mini Mode, Fly, or otherwise. I think it's just an old ass game being old is all lol. But of course, this is all speculation on my part; maybe a GM can comment on this, I don't know. πŸ™‚ "One cannot live a positive life thinking negative thoughts." - T
  11. Other than the fact that it can be used as a counter punch when one is attacked, say from a surprise ambush or enemy(s) that you didn't see until they shot at you. And to me, that is a fairly good benefit in and of itself, so I can easily live without the specific MM's Bodyguard benefit. πŸ™‚ "Do good for goodness sake; It will come back in unexpected ways." - T
  12. Ok, update time... πŸ™‚ After doing a lot of testing with what work's (for me), I came up with these six binds; all tied to the NumberPad keys... numpad0 "petcom_all follow defensive" decimal "petcom_all follow passive" numpad1 "petcom_all follow attack" numpad2 "petcom_all aggressive attack" numpad3 "petcom_all goto$$em point" numpadenter "petcom_all Dismiss$$em salute" As one who does not like to have that many Macros' on my toolbars as they take up space for other powers and such, I tend to use keybinds whenever possible. And as one who likes to have many options to control my pets, yet make things as simple as possible as I am disabled, I find that this is about as fast and effective as can be for me. Now all I have to do is to load up the "Pet's" keybind text file for each Controller, and I'm all set. One stop shopping as it were lol. Anywho, I hope these (and the above replies) help out anyone who wants to have a bit more control over their Controller pets... πŸ™‚ "Chance favors the prepared mind." - T
  13. Very nice @dukedukes, thank you very much for posting that breakdown, and Macro examples. I will try these out myself, and I hope they can be of some use to others as well. I am still very curious as to what other Binds/Macros' people can come up with, even though it is a simple system. Like I mentioned, I was attempting to use the Mastermind Binds system using my keypad, as it is one of the best systems for controlling Mastermind pets (with Binds mind you), but have been failing. Maybe because Controllers have only one pet to control, instead of a Mastermind controlling up to 6 pets eventually. I don't know, but it would be interesting to see if anyone can come up with a similar (though obviously shorter) system for controlling Troller pets. I do have a question though... Can one use a Defensive stance with a Controller pet at all? Nowhere have I read that they can be, just like Mastermind pets can, but if they can be, that is an amazing benefit to Controllers I would say. If someone could please confirm this aspect, maybe even with numbers too, I am sure everyone would appreciate it. Maybe a moderator or GM can comment on this as well too. πŸ™‚ In either case, a great beginning, and great info. Keep the creativity coming... "There is a Superhero inside all of us. We just need the courage to put on the cape." - T
  14. Greetings good Heroes and bad Villains... πŸ™‚ I searched the forums here, and even Google, but I could not find any information on how one "controls" Controller pets with Binds, and even Macros'. And I for one have been trying to figure it out, based on Mastermind Binds and Macros'... But no such luck as of yet I am sad to say. So has anyone come up with a set of Binds/Macros' to do such a thing? If so, could one and all post them here please? I would post this in General, but I figured I would post this here first... As with the new Issue, I believe it would be a good place to gather up said Binds/Macros' in a thread, which if good enough, maybe the Moderator(s) could pin it up top here in the Controller section. I will be continuing to try and figure this out, but any and all help would be appreciated. In fact, let's start (if possible) with Pyro's Catherine Wheel T9 pet if we can, as that is the pet I am first trying to do this with. Thanks a ton in advance you awesome community you... πŸ™‚ "All dreams are within reach. All you have to do is keep moving towards them." - T
  15. I guess this means that @Glacier Peak will take 5 rolls of Combat TP please. Man, you really need to lay of the Sliders a bit if you need 5 rolls to cover you... πŸ˜‹ "Make it so..." - T
