You are confusing "cosplay" with IP infringement. https://forums.homecomingservers.com/terms/ also here: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/code-of-conduct/#copyright Relevant portion to your particular question: CoH Players have always been pretty good about self-reporting, even during Legacy, regarding IP infringement with costumes/names when they come across them.

Praetoria: Imperial Island Contact: Praetor Sinclair Story Arc: The Power to Control Mission: Finale - This is the End On the rooftop, after the cutscene, when I selected the Resistance choice Belladona and her Lt's never appeared on the roof so there was no dialog with Belladona, no ambush of PPD and dialog with Sinclair to tell him to stuff it. Since the choice for joining the Resistance has already occurred, no contact with Sinclair after that is successful. Fortunately I was able to manually contact Jessica Flores in Imperial City and continue my Resistance Warden journey.

I take coffee with my cream and sugar.

I was amazed at the names I was seeing when the licensing news broke and a lot of new folks were showing up in AP. All the "good names" are not gone.

I agree. Seeing as how much I preach about this game to my friends that don't pay, can we call the scripture?

Glad you're whittling away at it. Not much ruins gameplay like excessively repeated sfx. As you may have noticed, I have a few sub-folders in my ogg folder. :) Is the remaining howl the one the three wolves do that is accompanied by a wavy, umbrella-like vfx? The three wolves: So the one howl (Wild Charge) that is accompanied by the red halo around their heads appears to be: ogg\dog\dog_howl_02 The howl (Howl) that is accompanied by the umbrella-like vfx appears to be: ogg\dog\DOG_TERRIFYINGROAR_01

Don't know, but I reinstalled Media Player and Explorer issues came back immediately. .ogg files are slow to delete or rename. <shrug>

For the most part it really depends on the character, half the time I don't even pick up contacts since I'm playing with friends and get drug along dinging away merrily. Only exception currently is Goldside, as I mentioned in a previous post.

Okay, all of a sudden I am having the same issue, seems that renaming or deleting .ogg files causes Explorer to hang. After a little research I seem to have found the solution for this issue. At least it solved it for me. https://www.thewindowsclub.com/ogg-file-not-deleting-crashing-explorer-in-windows Seems that the Windows Media Player extension is causing the problem, just need to uninstall that extension. Just need another audio player onboard to play the files through.

Cannot say that I've ever heard of anyone having an issue with .ogg files. If the folder hierarchy is set up correctly, there shouldn't be an issue. I have substitute sfx files on my Tequila install and now on the new launcher. Should look something like this: I found one sfx that the Dire wolf does every few minutes and with one of the buff it may be doing it more often, I'm still testing on Beta, Sound\OGG\POWERS\BM_DIREWOLF_WILDCHARGE_01 The other one as you've pointed out it: SOUND\OGG\DOG\DOG_TERRIFYINGROAR_01 Thank you so much for your informative and thoughtful comment, bless your little heart.

The Protectorites I played with back on Legacy are split between Everlasting and Torch. I'm on Torch as I just could not get back into RP'ing. Welcome back!

Welcome to my world. :) When I have to test multiple sound that I am not sure are the ones I need to alter, I use a 'bloop' sounds, because when one or more are silenced than I'm never sure which one is correct. Once I've narrowed it down, then I use the 'silence' substitute. I had the intention of going onto Beta yesterday to check out Beast Mastery, but had to update to the new launcher, then got sidetracked... <.< I figured it had to be a combination of howls and barks from different folders. Perhaps the Devs can extend the 'phone ring' change to other too often repeated sfx as well. I've been running Goldside a lot lately and have a similar issue with ghouls. So many ghoul roars and growls in the sfx files. >.< I've decides to change them to the sounds of a porcupine eating.

Welcome to CoH!

In the Resistance base in Underground Nova Praetoria, the area near the hospital pads (loc: [-4073.2 508.0 -199.9]) does not appear to trigger the Day Job. The Resistance bases in Underground Imperial and Underground Neutropolis do trigger the day job as expected when hear the pads.

It'd be nice if there were a 'sleep' command where they'd lay down and be quiet, sadly there is not. As @Captain Fabulous said your only other option is to silence/alter the appropriate sfx files. Deleting them won't work as they are packaged into the game's .pigg files, you can redirect the game to look at alternate sfx files though, sfx files with the same name in the appropriate file hierarchy but that have different sounds or are even silenced.

While I'd love to see the option to, if not modify sfx in the CC, to at least be able to silence some powers. Until that time arrives, there is at least the option to modify the game's sfx for yourself. This does not impact the game files in any way and done even back in Legacy without a side-eye from devs, since it's client-side only. Making changes to your own sfx does not impact anyone else, though it will effect how your hear everyone elses' gameplay. For instance, if you silenced Ninja Run, everyone using Ninja Run near you will also be silenced. You have the option of silencing sfx in the game or changing the sfx to something else, for example I changed MM Bots to squeak like rubber ducks when they walk around instead of "tromp, tromp, tromp" or glowies sound like a pack of hyenas laughing. Check my sig for how to accomplish this.

Done. You're welcome. ;)

Exactly, even without using the P2W ventor's XP bonus' you will still outlevel a zones' contacts, it's even worse if your are teaming on your way through.
