[getting more players to try red side]

Well, there are players like me who just don't like red side. It doesn't fit my characters, I don't like being a villain, and I really don't like some of the stories there, like "saving" people to have them killed and chopped up for zombie bits. Or to be written as a complete dupe and idiot where everything was a trap. You could offer 5x XP and 1000X inf and I still wouldn't because I wouldn't enjoy it. 

 

There's just nothing really about red side that appeals to me. And I don't think I'm the only one. 

[The Officially Unofficial Weekly Discussion #61: What costume pieces do you love to use - or love but cannot find a use for?]

I use the Spectrum set and auras a lot.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy!

[The Clockwork]

Ooh, neat!

[Can we get a "ripple" sort of aura?]

Most of my characters use the Spectrum pieces. They're meant to be energy or element based avatars. I wanted to see if I could make one look like water, somehow, using stealth. But there's no way to make it look like they have ripples or waves going through them. (I don't want to use the drippy aura. It doesn't look like what I have in mind.) 

 

Could we get something like that that looks like ripples going through or over a character? Also can Spectrum be added to the premade costume list?

[Icon Magazine]

Neat idea! 

[purple recipes drop?]

You know, I don't think I've ever had a purple drop... Maybe the game sees my name and thinks I"m good already?

[Flash p2w power?]

Most of my characters are energy, they run around in Spectrum. I would love to have a power like Flash from illusion, but illusion doesn't fit most of my characters. I don't think any of the epic pools have a Flash power. Would it be possible to get one in the p2w vendor?

 

I know it would be weaker, I don't really care, I mostly want it for the look and effect. The grenades don't really work for me.

[Art/Commission Sharing Thread]

So is there a current list or something of people taking commissions? Or is that a forum no-no?

 

I don't think I can do anything right away, but for when I can it would be helpful!

Nice

Neat

[Converting old .hro files/costumes to new .costumes?]

Weren't costume files always .costume? What are .hro from?

[Don't click on this post!]

Geez, you're bad at following directions.

[Range and teleports]

Simple, possibly noobly question - 

 

Do Range enhancements actually do anything with Wormhole, Fold Space, Teleport Target or Combat Teleport? For some of them it doesn't seem to show any change in the power info page even with range slotted.  (I'm more interested in PVE than PVP.)

Good to know! How about Mids - is there a working solution? Thank you!

 

Sorry for the late reply, I don't really use mids, so...

Does it run smoothly? I've been thinking of finally letting go of my 10y-old desktop and get a M2 Mac Mini. But I'd love to still being able to play City of Heroes and a few minor steam gams.

 

I haven't joined anything like a giant league on it yet, but other than that it runs really nicely. 

[Installing the new Homecoming Launcher on a Mac (LaunchCat)]

So can I just say thanks for making the Mac installer so smooth?

 

Brand new (base) M2 Mac Mini on Ventura and it installed and ran like a champ. (Homecoming was the second thing installed after Firefox.)

[Can we control NPC aggression?]

So I'm doing a tip mission. Doc Quantum is being himself, rescue a longbow from Arachnos. This Longbow, naturally, is aggressive AF once rescued and has something like 2000000/2000000 vision. I rescue them, they aggro a group. And another group. As an ambush hits me. Which all together is more than my character (NOT 50, NOT fully slotted) can take by far.

 

There was absolutely no need for that death. At least THIS NPC, for better or worse, was invulnerable (so why am I rescuing her? She soloed a spawn while I hit the hospital.) And we've got other missions where NPCs you HAVE to rescue run off and get themselves killed.

 

Can we PLEASE get an option to tell combat or "helper" NPCs to not help and just go to the exit, or at least follow and not fight if you don't need the help?

[How early?]

OK, vague. 

 

How early can an Ill/energy Dom (a) perma PA, (b) preferrably without hasten? (And since I'm asking how early I'm also ignoring incarnates.) 

 

While it doesn't feel like it's AS reliant on PA as Controllers, it's still a cornerstone, I think. 

[How To Handle ToT RP'wise?]

The only time I even consider RP during TOT is with a small group, and we just change it up for whoever and whatever we are right then. For the most part, we don't bother, really. 

[Should I RP My Character as A Professor at the University?]

We have plenty of people playing students there, I don't see why being one of many professors there on its own would cause anyone any heartache. 

[Focused Feedback: Power Level Availability Changes]

I think I would rather have every character forced to start at 50 than this.  

 

Do not like. 

[General Task Force Changes]

Anything like "Change all hunts to ambushes" should have a story reason for doing so.

 

I think I only see maybe 1 out of every 20 ambushes that "should" happen. They're slow.

 

But I like the idea of zones having their own story.
