He's gotta be bald though.

I have redsiders, I have bluesiders, only a few don't switch sides, they run the gamut of freshly minted to 50+, I have goldsiders that... well, they stay goldside because there's nowhere else for them to go until they run out of content or manage to make it to Primal Earth, which not have yet done. I have one goldsider currently running the whole Resistance Betrayal shebang with 36 hours and 8 of the 12 arcs under her belt so far. What I don't spend a lot of time on are TF/SF and Trials. Endgame never interested me much.

You mean it should be struck by a comet? I agree.

Might be interesting to know that this was one of the questions asked of the Legacy Devs during a HeroCon and the answer was that of all the names released, the number of names that were claimed were in the single digit, something like 8%. I believe the second time it was run it was even less.

Your in-game global (@name) will be the first character you created, if memory serves me, you can change your global once, but only once, so choose correctly. Deleting the character will have no effect, your global stays unchanged unless you change it yourself. You can use '/changehandle New Hero Name' to change it, but as I mentioned before you only get one change.

That's almost as funny as the Legacy Devs making a slight edit to the base code and all of a sudden people were wondering why their defenses were shooting at everything that moved. :D

Won't work, I believe you can have only 1 of the allowed special characters ( . ' - ? ) in your name.

I don't recall a mission that has given me less than 3 mobs, helper or not.

I included a couple myself on that thread. I would have pointed to the wiki, but it's just an alphabetical list with links to individual pages for each acronym. I think your list his much easier to digest. :)

@GM Crumpet I would have to disagree slightly regarding white salvage/recipes. There are always people working on their Crafting Badges, so there are always people looking for these on the AH. Is it a huge return? Not really, but it also gains you progress towards AH badges, for those of us who care. Otherwise yeah, they are pretty much trash.

It's those players that I will server friend them and keep track of the name so I can one day see 'Generic8675309' on my list and laugh to myself, then watch the forums for the rage-filled "Why did I get genericed?" post.

You are correct, the data folder is where mods are placed. This is the strangest issue I've heard of and have no clue as to what may be causing it. :/

Actually, most cops will definitely pull you over for not wearing a seatbelt at least in the U.S. Because of the licensing agreement announcement, there has been an influx of new/returning players, some might not be aware of the rule (because most don't read these things), I'm surer there are some that are actively ignoring them. If you chose to warn them, their responses can range from "Oh, I didn't know." to "Pancake off!" I would just report and move on, probably wouldn't go on a reporting spree though as the GM's do have better things to do and it could be today, could be tomorrow, or next week but eventually they will likely be gen'd.

You haven't modified any sfx have you? Added the 'data/sounds/ogg' folder with silenced sfx for enemies?

If you want to see the various discussions, I'd suggest searching "infringement". Regardless of players opinions on the subject of IP infringement, here's what Homecoming states: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/terms/ also here: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/code-of-conduct/#copyright Relevant portion to your particular question: I'd rather this welcome to CoH thread didn't turn into another IP discussion. :) Many folks that are new to the game often base their first character on their favourite comic heroes/villains, branching out after that and creating your own is where the fun really is that and only limited by the imagination. Enjoy!

Also @Techwright posted a pretty concise list of acronyms here: There is one on the wiki that hast nearly everything, but @Techwright points out the ones you will come across the most.

First of all, Welcome and glad you are enjoying yourself! Second, a warning about creating IP characters, don't. Since back in Legacy days, players have been pretty protective of CoH and will report characters that that violate the IP restriction. There are several threads that can be searched here in General regarding the subject. Regarding Tanks(Tankers) and Melee, think of Melee as a category or playstyle, so all Tanks are Melee but not all melee are Tanks. This is just a method for narrowing down the Archetypes that will be displayed on the next tab in the character creator, so if you select 'Melee' then it will remove Crowd Control, Support, Pets etc. There are numerous guides for builds int the Archetype section of the forums and AH (Action House) guides down in the Guides section, likely in The Market section as well. Lastly, Go. Hunt. Kill Skuls.

How many is "a lot"? Seems like there is a very small percentage of folks that bring it up and a considerable amount that worked out their own sollutuion, made a character and played on. I think I've seen about the same amount of posts from folks still raging about ED.

Don't recall, if I had it would have been a while ago.

I had a character like that in a PnP Marvel game a loooonnggg time ago, had Adaptive Digestion amongst other things and could gain nutritional value from pretty much anything, couldn't taste a thing though. Called him 'Cast Iron'.

I equate most of the "should be no problem to programs" posts I've in various threads as "I'm not a doctor, but...". I may be misremembering (I have a hard time recalling last week, much less 2 decades ago) but originally, back in Legacy I believe it had to do with how global names impacted/interacted with accounts and/or billing. While there is no longer billing, the rewrite for the code revolving around globals/accounts may be a bigger pita than it's worth at this point. ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

While I love colourizing and adjusting the fx for all my powers and the leeway we have with doing so, any of my buff powers, especially on others I try to minimized the visual impact it will have on their appearance. Ice buffs are the worst, walking around like a giant piece of hail.

Without prestige, no e-peen to tout. I am also opposed to re-implementing prestige and locking anything behind it.
