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.

Guilty as charged. 😁

I managed to snag 'Rasp' for my ex-Shredder over in Praetoria. Only one I was really interested in getting.

I was only looking to pick up one name and managed to get it, now I'm just sitting in Outbreak watching new characters pop in and out. lol

Sorry to hear that. I was only looking to nab 1 name on Torch and happened to get it. Now I'm just going to hang out in Outbreak and watch all the new character pop in and out.

Seems like his talent got him a gig for a while on the BBC's Fast and Loose show

Thank you for posting this. Yes, quite a few people share this slash command each week and I believe it does help somewhat. For those that are reaching maximum density on trays with powers slotted, you can also just type /noparticles 1 or 0 to toggle it on/off.

Personally, I just don't like seeing it, most especially on characters that have back stories. And while everyone is speculating on why they did it, I'm sure many of the RP'rs were equally annoyed by it's presence.

Illusion/Storm Controller Mis Information <.< >.> Too soon? Technically, I didn't make them even thought the name was available, figured it might go over like a lead balloon. 🙂

Friend + Friend + Friend and sometimes + Friend + Friend + Friend

I played EQ with a few friends for three months, the final nail in the coffin was when I was running to catch up with them on one of the transport boats. Just before it set sail they decided to hop off and I hopped on just as it transitioned, leaving me to sink or swim in an endless ocean. Since it was a zone you weren't supposed to be able to access nothing had a visible presence. This was before you could swim from island to island. I didn't want to lose my loot, as meager as it was at the time so after my endurance ran out I'd sink and before I drowned I'd regain enough End to dog paddle some more. This went on for 3 hours. I'm a crappy slow typist so there were no long conversations with other players other than calling out to anyone that was on a boat and it's LOC to which I'd dog paddle, sink, drown, dog paddle towards. Eventually, to the surprise to those on board, I majikally appeared on deck. While I could not see the boat, it literally ran right over me. That was pretty much the end of my EQ days, gave all my shit away and logged out for the last time.

Like most of the others have posted here, I keep my map open all the time. Most of the the time our group stays in close proximity, I tend to play support so keeping track of my teammates is a given, expect for the one person that may have a tendency to run off ahead/turn right when the rest of the team turned left/jumped ahead to the next mob and bites off more they can chew, when they face plant I tend to laugh, if they ask why I didn't heal them I laugh harder. I follow the tank/aggro magnet, not the soloist on the team and learned way back in Legacy that splitting up my support between players that can be rooms away is ineffective.

So, are you saying that because you think they are overpowered, rather than just not using them yourself you want them changed to impact everyone that does use them?

One deserving a remake that should follow more closely to the book and could be a spectacular production with today's technology. When Worlds Collide with a follow up of After Worlds Collide by Balmer and Wylie published in 1932, they were very forward thinking and much of that was glossed over or skipped entirely in the 1951 movie.

Bingo. Very much Bingo. Bingo was its name-o. (did I mention bingo?) Let us not forget that having a sub will not grant the volunteers any more time to work on fixes and features that they currently have.

If you are a fan of motorcycles, racing and/or Steve McQueen... McQueen was a huge motorcycle aficionado and racer himself, a lot of people think that he died from smoking but he actually died from complications due to mesothelioma caused by the asbestos in the brake pads.

Speaking of Peter Ustinov... The sets were awesome. I'm not sure I'd go for a remake of They Live, perhaps a sequel.

Also, it's pretty rotten of your team to not wait for your return to finish of the TF/SF.

It's most annoying when we all climb out of the same elevator. STOP PUSHING ME!
