  1. I'd like to welcome our fellow Sister/Brothers/Themsters to our HC family!

     

    Feel free to hop over to Torch for our SNS (Saturday Night Synapse) Madness where we shoot to be overpass deep in Babbage wreckage on a regular basis.

    On Excelsior, I just made Legendairy. Yes, it is a cow.

     

    I love cow names, though I currently only have one bovine character, Wholy, whom I had back on Legacy as well.

     

    I did have Moosic at one point when Symphony Control came out but I wasn't diggin's the powerset at the time so I put him out to pasture. I've though up others but likely never get around to using them.

    The ninja run and athletic run powers are more stance-related than them having "FX", and athletic run was specifically added as a "No FX" alternative to ninja run, that uses a regular running animation.  The prestige sprints specifically exist as versions of sprint with other FX added.  I can see no reason why this would be needed, unless you were using them as mules for various IOs, (which, IMO, is against their intent).

     

    For some, it's more about the stance and the VFX that comes with some of them just don't fit with whatever character. I've got a MA/Nin Stalker with Min/No VFX on pretty much everything, but Ninja Run still has a wisp of VFX trailing behind her and I would love to have a non-drug use version of Adrenal Booster.

    So far: a tartan scarf in my clan colours, two frying pans, and WeRateDogs merch. And… I’ve made other people happy today. Which is very much my thing. 

     

    Including three cats, which is impressive as I only have two and the other one just wants to move in.IMG_8196.thumb.jpeg.ff8c03b99d74fe6193f8ee6f8df16321.jpeg

     

    Am I the only one that thinks the gingerbread dolls should be gingerbread cats?

    I agree, but it is what it is.  That's why I switched over to ImgBB for all future pics, and have very gradually been chipping away at moving my old pics over, though as I increase space again, there are a select few I feel worth using the forum storage.

     

    Image posting will eat it up quick, that's why I started using imgur early on and placing BBcode links in posts instead. 5.5 years and just a little over half way through my limit.

    CoH is a 20 year old MMO missing a gaggle of QoL that better MMOs have. As far as visibility? You could try, and possibly it would attract a short term audience that leads to a bump and a very small long term audience.

     

     

    But CoH was niche and obscure in its’ hayday. I doubt it’ll ever be a big title.

     

    Also, you really don’t want that. It’ll lose so much of what made it great for you all in the process of going ‘mainstream’

     

    With the other MMO's I've played I always compared them to CoH (Legacy or HC, doesn't matter) and always found them lacking CoH's QoL features. Sidekicking/exemplaring was probably one of the biggest ones, want to join your friends on any character? Go for it.

     

    So many times whilst I was playing DDO with a friend, DDO's mechanics or poor design left me saying "That's so stupid", so much so that I just starting saying "That's so DDO."

     

    Played New World for a bit, it's very pretty but there was nothing that kept my attention. Having story arcs ending in missions that require a set number of players? Fail.

     

    I don't care to mention the others as I'm gonna go play a 20yo, dead, niche game now.

    to make it more complicated.... because it is me after all....

     

    say that one of us heard "Tsoo" spoken correctly.  and we make a recording, and share it  and now everyone knows how to say it.  wrong.

     

    there is about a 99% chance the word is from a "tonal" language.  and they will use the same word 12 different times WITH DIFFERENT TONES to mean different things.  but westerners (unless possibly a high level musician) will miss all of that.  

     

    I am groot.

  8. One thing I do is hit areas that in general are rarely visited.

     

    Just the other night a friend and I were running Max's arc in Dark Astoria and I know I've played through all the content back during legacy, I honestly cannot recall these missions so it was new and shinny in a Dark Astoria kind of way.

     

    Also, while it's generally kind of a ghost town I enjoy playing through Praetoria content either solo or teaming with a friend or two. While I never really could get back into RP'ing in HC I liked to play my Praetorians as though I were, so they would usually stick to a path with regards to their Gold-sider alignment, like my ex-Shredder that offered up her crew to Neuron in order to get jacked up herself to become more powerful.

    I'm puzzled.  I could have sworn the costume creator had a bisected option (that is color 1 on right side, color 2 on left side) for at least chest and legs, but I've been unable to find it anywhere when I went to redesign a characters costume. (Qualifier: I'm aware there is a mask-type option for the face.)   Have we never had it?  Was it an option that was removed?  This feels like it should be a costume element 101 kind of thing.

     

    Nope, though it has been asked for.
