Oubliette_Red

I checked this last night and was still able to get through. I found that angle of approach is very important, if you follow along the ceiling to get to the spot then it's not passable, if you come at it from the floor and move up the wall, you'll see the opening. I think there may be a barrier partial obstructing access near the ceiling.

The change actually occurred back during Legacy, found an archived post mentioning it back in 2009.

So I'm not the only one that does that. :D

CoH will always be #1 in my book for best bang for your buck. Outside of that, if anyone only went by hours spent in-game, then according to Steam is would have been DDO with 2,413.1 hours. My personal opinion would somewhat differ, I think the cost for VIP is excessive, the expansions they pump out are ridiculously priced. Meanwhile they never fix issues, most especially the lag. I only played because I was playing with friends and if it weren't for them I wouldn't play at all. I gave up saying "that's so stupid" regarding game mechanics that I just started saying "that's so DDO". Personally I would place Minecraft as most valued, Paid $25 back in 2012 when I started playing with co-workers and I still play it today. Second would be Morrowind, no idea how many hours I spent in the game on just one character, bought it long before I had Steam, but I scoured every, single inch of that island, every house, town, city, cave and ruin. I played so much of it that when I first started playing CoH and entered my first cave mission map, I avoided running through or landing in puddles because I didn't want to chance mobs hearing me.

This is particularly problematic Goldside and does not ever require 2XP to be active. If you outlevel the contact even mid-arc they will blow you off. On all my Goldsider's I use the following... /macro_image "DayJob_XPBoost" "XP Toggle" "option_toggle noxp" to put an XP on/off toggle on my toolbar.

One some of my character I have /bind v "em StanceVillain2" On one character I have /bind v "em RobotPowerDown" because his appearance just isn't disturbing enough...

I believe the original reasoning of why there was never a proportional mini-mode stemming from Baby New Year from having a bobble head, was to prevent children being portrayed in violent games. Even Penelope Yen is still a tween. I used to have links to many of the applicable laws because I used to QA games, but it's still in a box after my move. Similar reason as to why enemies collapse and fade away rather than gushing fountains of blood (except on my Water/Poison Corruptor which everything gushes in a fountain of blood.) Although the ragdoll physics when they collapse can sometime end up much worse, cringe-worthy positions.

Everyone on the team gets credit for Sally if only one person plays tag with her, though I believe they must all be in Croatoa. And the 30-45 minute timer is even mentioned in the wiki. Not sure I can agree with giving her arrival an announcement, as they others have said, Sally is meant to be allusive.

It happens quite often during Rikti raids, Since the Rikti will spawn near players that are out in the open and since they tend to do so in large-ish spawns they will overwhelm the police drones protecting the area.

If I find that a particular name is taken I may include/remove a space and find that it is available. Most occasions though, I will do as other do and hit the thesaurus. Back on Legacy I attempted 'Black Ice' for an Ice controller, pretty straight forward but taken, so I opted for 'Sable Drift' which I found that I liked much better.

Yes. I will solo just about anything. It may be slower on some like my Kin/Arch Defender of Water/Poison Corruptor, but I still solo them. I have found that my Bio/Savage Tank is fairly effective soloing.

I came across this last night whilst attempting to create an imp costume for a forum poster. I found that only bodies could sport the Spectrum options while optional body parts do not have the option. These would be: Ears Wings Tails It would be nice if these commonly used body pieces provided the Spectrum option.

I find more often than not that when experiencing lag in games, it's usually my internet, since we're still using the providers equipment to a reboot of the router usually resolves issues. I also tend to avoid starting zone and high pop servers, besides most of my friends play on Torch so it's a no-brainer to be there.

For me it really depends on the character, Taiga Rana uses Super Jump for obvious reasons (well, perhaps not so obvious, Rana being a genus of frogs), my Ice and sometimes Water characters typically use Speed Run with the 'slide' animation, others use Fly/Mystic Flight. Many that don't fly will have Hover.

As I reminded someone last night, don't ask in Atlas Park if "anyone is running a fire farm in AE".

I keep forgetting about that... 🫤

The mini-mode costume cost 250 Prismatic Aether. According to the wiki, Prismatic Aether are "acquired primarily through challenging group content at Security/Threat Level 50. Specifically, Incarnate Trials and Task Forces/Strike Forces on Advanced Difficulty, as well as the Weekly Strike Target and as a very rare drop chance from standard missions. Every time a character completes a mission map, they have a 2% chance to receive a Prismatic Aether Particle salvage. This doesn't require the character to be level 50." In the AH (auction house) Prismatic Aether can range from 3-5m each.

Heck, to this day, even after years of playing on Legacy and years here, there are contacts and mission arcs that I haven't done. One of the primary reasons I solo it to read the dialog at my own speed.

Don't be afraid to muck about in your settings, there are quite a few things you can do to improve your graphics, make the UI appear to you liking and set controls like mob targeting. Also, you can find more tips in this thread. There are also various help threads down in 'Tools, Utilities, & Downloads' and 'Guides' sections of the forums.

In addition to what @Greycat said, having use of PvE build in PvP... let me know what you think about that after you get slaughtered when you get perma-held. I don't care for PvP myself, there is no incentive you could add to the game that will get me to PvP. The only reason I even enter the zones is due to the placement of exploration badges. I'm fine with people wanting to PvP, they have several zones and the Arena to do that in. I think any MMO these days needs a PvP component as there is a good amount of gamers that enjoy that aspect of the game. The only thing I could think to add to PvP that PvP'rs (and likely RP'rs) would enjoy would be a revival of base raids. Unfortunately, with the free hand the Devs have provided base builders this would pretty much be a non-starter. Only way I can see getting around base rules for pathing/clipping is for SG's to have the ability to have a 2nd base that is strictly for base raids and would have to follow certain restrictions on pathing/placement/blocking/etc. Sadly, I think the scope of that would be monumental if not improbable.

I have to disagree that pre-50 content requires a group. I've solo'd multiple characters through Goldside content, which is typically more difficult then comparable levels on Blue/Redside, mobs have more tricks up their sleeves and ambushes ignore stealth. The trick to soloing is being smarter and using tactics rather than just assuming that you can zerg the missions.

Haven't had this issue at all playing on Torch.

I was going to suggest using Spectrum costume pieces but, there are part that are lacking and didn't match up well, so I decided on using mainly Bio-luminescence pieces. Also, depending on your preferred powersets, you can use toggles to add to their look and feels of impishness. I chose Fire Blast/Dark Armor Sent for Dark's efx to add to the costume look. FireEmp.costume

If you're just coming back after the long sleep after Legacy CoH and are looking for old SG pals, head down to the Reconnect section of the forums, most of the old servers have their own threads of players announcing their return. https://forums.homecomingservers.com/forum/47-reconnect/

Something I noticed when the winterized Atlas Park was up during the holidays is that the badge location markers were missing on the map. I usually have a set circuit I travel so I rarely look at the Atlas map anymore, but when I realized I didn't have LTP on one of my characters I had parked in The Hollows went back to Atlas and no exploration and I think plaque markers. We were going after Frostfire so I forgot about it at the time. 🫤
