2019 . . . the year the pandemic started . . . and the year a super hero returned to our lives to help us get through!

Since HC started and having been more involved in the closed beta testing and hearing convos from the wonderful volunteers working on this game now, I can say that "coh has sphaghetti code" is the tremendous understatement of the century. So if it's not been said before: 1. Thanks to Paragon Studios and what they had to work with (finding time to refactor anything while you are under the gun on a paid mmo with subs is not easy.) 2. SPECIAL THANKS TO HOMECOMING team for continuing to untangle things and update this game. Making changes to it is NOT easy. So thanks to both who maintained this game in the past (yes I know they may never see this. 😛 AND especially those working on it right now. We may give them grief for changes from time to time, but I think I speak for most of us that we appreciate this game that they gave us (and continue to maintain). SO THANKS! EDIT: Missed the word code. Though "COH has spaghetti" would be a cool character name. 😛

Agreed. I also have some characters that farm where the aggro changes make it EASIER. Less chasing mobs. 🙂

Quoted again for emphasis.

The suggestion is not a good one. And yeah this is about controlling how others play. The OP can form their own teams and advertise for folks to switch out barrier for something else. But we all know such a team or advertisement will take ages to fill or possibly never fill at all. So what better way than to ask the devs to control how people can use the abilities on the run. Which I and others completely disagree with.

Sorry to see the option go to0. But if you are doing 3 Hamidon raid rounds just choose the Merit Reward option. It will net you 80 + 40 + 40 merits if you stay for all three regular rounds (on Excelsior anyway). There are also bonus Hami raids there on Friday nights and sometimes an Abyss Raid (villainside). Convert the merits to converters, craft uncommon recipes and convert them to Rares to sell on the market.

True and I think that is fine. If folks want to not run that way they can form their own team. So one additional -1 from me to the OP's suggestion.

Pretty much when a game stops being fun I stop playing it. I've been playing this game for over a decade. 🙂

I got in this time!!! Wooooo! 🙂 Did my part.

+1 for this idea.

thanks Okla! I told 2 for 30 mil. Seems the price is stabilizing.

Pretty much agree that they should just move on. It was discussed to super death. This was also a compromise for what they originally put on beta. I've made my peace with it and moving on. Hopefully they have something in the future to use EMPs for besides alts, for those who don't make any more alts.

If they ever remove DOs or SOs, then COMMON crafted IOs should drop in place.

There also the fact that there is no possible way the devs have the manpower to do anything as complicated as what the OP wants, besides the name issue pointed out earlier. This . . . doesn't seem realistic. Let the devs keep adding optional difficult content while keeping the game easy for everyone else who runs at based difficulty. Yes. Splitting the code base in a way that will make updates and changes take even longer than now with a volunteer dev team. NO!

As long as the player is not on a Regen toon. If they are then I'm going to yell "Nerf Regen" and run 😛

Gahhh why did FFXIV and other games have to issue content patches as the SAME day as HC. Too. much. gaming. content. *headassplodes* XD

I'd rather they spend that time making hard mode available to sub level 50 content, non-TF content, and even paper missions. I'd also like them to spend some time cleaning up some of the poor lower level content on blueside or making more. My preferring they spend time on something else after the time spent on two hard mode tfs, does not mean I think there should no longer be any hard mode content for level 50. They've made two, I hope they focus on other things for a bit.

I never cared about toggles dropping honestly. I just retoggled when it happened.

TY! Amazing to this day folks don't know how the market works. It's been over a decade folks!

People are . . . insanely passionate about their COH. LOL But seriously everyone should try to be nicer. . . . and agree to disagree.

This, so very this. I'm usually always down for Apex/Tin because even regular runs are pretty quick for BOTH TFs combined. lol

Now these I would try more often. I don't have 3 - 4 hours anymore to try Hard mode with a PUG that may end up not finishing the TF or it be a completely unpleasant slog. I'm hoping the Hard Mode options come to MORE bit-size content sooner rather than later. I know the Devs have that planned eventually.

Meh you can team just fine and ignore Hard Mode content. I mostly do it only when it's a farm speed run now. Regular runs with PUGs I've found completely unpleasant.

+1 for instanced or bud counter. 🙂

I do multiple builds, soooo no. And now that we get free level 50 pvp alts, inf is even more needed than Emps. (I especially have motivation to get into pvp again with that upcoming change.) 🙂
