The thing is, no development team, paid or volunteer, can sit on content until it's "good and used" because only a tiny fraction of any game's player base will invest the time to test updates, a far greater percentage of players that take part in 'Open Betas' are there to look at the new shiny. This is not a rogue server, all volunteer development thing but an industry-wide thing. Regardless of how vast your player base is, a developer will never get enough eyes on their product to thoroughly test everything and test cases can be made to account for a lot of stuff there are always outliers because players sometimes have vary unique ways of breaking shit. All this coupled with deadlines that need to be met. When pushed live, there will be considerably more eyes on the release and things will be found by players that weren't noticed during testing, weren't reported during testing, or were deemed not critical enough to prevent the update from being pushed to be fixed later. There are also metrics that can be collected during game play that shows up when 10k people are playing vs 20 people playing. I recall there being a period of 12 years without an update, if the all-volunteer Homecoming team manages to get out two a year, I'm okay with that.

Welcome back!

I play with mine set at 3 and sometimes it's still too loud.

I haven't logged on since shortly after it released. Spent most of my time playing in Beta, reporting issues and providing feedback.

Quills 'burst' was probably the forth sfx I modified, right after the Lt Demon roars, Bots tromping, and glowies. If all one wants to change/silence is a few sfx files, adding the appropriate data\sounds is simple enough and detailed down in the Guides section. @Michiyo's modder is definitely the way to go when swapping out the sfx of entire powersets with some of the offerings of out amazing communities improvements. :)

No. But I did find the CoH subreddit just recently.

Lots of great costumes, conga ratz to the winners!

Kool & The Gang - Celebration

The "holy trinity" built into many games, in my opinion, is the worst design in MMO's. It pigeon-holes creativity in that you have to design a character to fit into a specific role rather than being able to play what fit's your character and it still working. The main reason that a dedicated "healer" is unnecessary in CoH, because you can buff/debuff to your heart's content rather than just being a 'heal-bot'. This was one of the many issues I had playing DDO with friends. The veteran player of the game, whom my friends and I met in the game, they had in-depth knowledge of the mechanics of the game and abilities and would help us design an effective character based on what we wanted to play, but that left them with creating a character to 'fill the holy-trinity' hole rather than a character they'd rather be playing. This was only one of the problems I had with the game and it got to the point where instead of me saying "that's so stupid" about something the game did to "that's so DDO". I do not attribute CoH's lack of success or continuing on not having the god-awful "holy-trinity" mechanic, I lay that failure solely at the feet of NCsoft and their lack of marketing support for a game they didn't understand and fans they failed to listen to.

If I personally lived in Paragon City? I'd probably like to live in Salamanca because I love the night there, the day is okay and the sun can be fun, but I live to see those rays slip away. In reality I'd probably live in some studio apartment in Faultline.

The only thing I require: Take the legacy Criptic game engine out back and shoot it. Then draw and quarter it. Incinerate it. Crush it to dust. Bury it. Salt the earth in which it is buried. Nuke it from orbit... it's the only way to be sure. Everything else is icing on the cake.

Maybe they can team up with my Titan Weapon/SR Brute mole called... Whack-A

Am I the only one that just leaves their map up all the time? I have it detached and scaled down, sits below my buff bar.

I blew up two HP laptops running Legacy CoH. Mostly because of HP's poor design back then, little to no heat sinks on CPU or GPU and both chips shared the same fan and channel to cool. The portion of the laptop where my wrist would rest would get so hot that I couldn't touch it. 1st one was still under warranty, which they replaced, the replacement wasn't. This was obviously more than 10 years ago and HP may have altered their design since then.

Had a tone deaf bovine but I couldn't get into Symphonic Control so I released him out to pasture. Name was Moosic.

PuGs in general are a toss-up. Some team leaders expect you to follow, others actually lead.

Conga ratz to all the winners!

You've given your opinion, the rest of the commenters have given theirs. According to you, all of their opinions are wrong. I'm not really seeing the "discussion" side of your post. I was at HeroCon when CoH's lawyer got a standing ovation from the entire crowd after the Marvel incident. I happen to agree with the ban on IP infringement and CoH's playerbase's tendency to be self-enforcing. It's worked out so far and I have zero issue with HC continuing the tradition.

There are numerous thread with responses explaining the reason, none of which will convince you because you have already made up your mind.

I'd much rather see emote stances and yoga as optional Fly movements.
