I was not there but I hear the record was broken and 31 Babbages were dismantled last night. Outstanding folks!

Am I the only one that thinks the gingerbread dolls should be gingerbread cats? <.< >.> =^‥^=

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.

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.

I am groot. Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

I hop on my little plague carrier and hit the popular municipal bodies of water. Ramiel gets particularly annoyed, as he has to drain the pool.

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.

Speak of the Devil and hear the flapping of leathery wings. Maint moved to Thu which will include the start of the Winter Event.

I have to say, it looks funny to me haven't watched it yet though.

Nope, though it has been asked for.

I used one of the Talon heads and the Viper face pattern.

This is why I have a Macro on one of my tool bars. /macro_image "DayJob_XPBoost" "XP Toggle" "option_toggle noxp" Saves on the typing in chat for the command or going into settings every time you want to toggle XP off/on.

^^This. I've probably put on ignore in-game, maybe 2 or 3 people since I started playing HC in early 2019. Generally folks are fairly helpful with info or even joining a team to help a player through a mission giving them a pounding. Here in the forums discussions can get very heated (could be bordering toxic to some I suppose). With new players I've seen this happen with they posts commenting on some in-game mechanic, powerset, or perceived issue with the incomplete or non-existent knowledge of the game's mechanics/design, to which knowledgeable veteran players will provide details on the why and whatfore, and the OP doubles down. After that, all bets are off.

If I recall correctly, CoH also had one of the highest retention rates of any MMO. People would continue to pay their subs even if they didn't log in for 6 months stretches. I recall all the doom-n-gloom when they switched to the hybrid model, I wasn't too sure about it myself when I first heard about it but then when details were shared about what was being provided (might have been during a HeroCon or meet-nogreet, don't exactly recall) I thought it was pretty even-keeled. Subs weren't losing out and Premium/F2P players could enjoy the majority of the game. Every MMO I've played since then wasn't nearly as generous with accessibility, I found most were overly stingy and made playing with friends nearly impossible. I think the push for the Incarnate stuff was to fill the desire of players that wanted more "end-game/raid" content, which compared to most other MMO's CoH didn't have much to speak of.

Picked up two this evening Fallen - Fire/Dark Dom Slay Bells - Symp/Sonic Dom

Folks can report all they want, but if my Spectre* isn't wearing a green hooded cloak and green undies over a white uni, then it's a non-issue. *I don't actually have the name

Devs, I hereby dub thee 'Glorious Liberators of Names'.

I want what you're drinking.
