Oubliette_Red

Same way as during Legacy. word of mouth. In other games I play, I usually hit up their Discord and when conversations turn to "What else do you play?" I talk about CoH. I've come across a few folks that didn't realize that it was back.

The thought had crossed my mind...

People marinating themselves in cologne. If I can walk by your parked car, with the windows rolled up and your not actually in it but I can smell your cologne/fragrance/body spray/soap/shampoo-conditioner/all the crap you put on your body -- Then you are wearing too much. If people's eyes water or experience breathing problems in your presence -- The you are wearing too much If I can light a match in your general vicinity and you self-combust -- The you are wearing too much

What they should have done when they added AE was make it rewardless, other than relevant AE badges and author-created souvenirs. Our RP group used it quite a lot to advance our character's own stories. Playing user-created content should have been it's own reward. But no going back now.

Gathering all the exploration badges in the Hallows on sprint alone at L10.

Yes... yes there is. 😄 Edit: Should be able to at least, just need to find the sfx files for the Praetorian mission complete. Okay, found it. So what you need to do is take the attached ogg file (which is the Praetorian mission complete file renamed) and drop it into the correct CoH data folder which would be: Drive:\CoH\data\sound\ogg\FrontEnd If you do not have this file\subfile structure you will have to create it. MissionComplete1.7z

I do not believe it holds onto a name at all, pretty sure it just checks if the name is available at the moment you check the name. This can probably be easily verified by a dual-boxer with one character sitting in the CC with an available name in the box and try to make a character with the same name on their second account.

That's one of the reasons I use Ctrl+Shift+Del to access the Clear Cache/History dialog.

Pretty much, only I skip the whole soda thing because I quit drinking it about 10 years ago.

Me: Iced tea please. Server: Would you like Peach or Raspberry? Me: I would like Tea-flavoured tea. This has been my conversation with servers on multiple occasions.

Restaurants inflating their prices by putting cheese on everything, but not giving a discount when you don't want it on your food.

Sounds about the same. If I'm trying to play a decent person in Praetoria (ie, not someone who's rabidly in it for power ...) I have one Praetorian (gathering day jobs at the moment) who is running strictly through the Powers arc, as I don't recall ever having done so back on Legacy. She an ex-Destroyer that got tired of getting stomped on by every other mob in the city, not to mention the alien invaders so she sacrificed her entire crew to get jacked-up by Neuron and now she want to be top dog. Keeping that in mind I find it a lot easier to make decisions based on her mindset rather than what I would choose myself. Regarding playing redside, my main villain makes decisions not based on what may seem heroic, harsh, or evil. I don't play him... it much at the moment because of the pandemic because he... it, is a walking, breathing pathogen. He was the second or third character I made when I got back into the game over a year ago and not due to our current circumstances. So when missions provide options that would spare or sacrifice the subject, it will opt to spare. Not out of any type of altruism on its part, but because the living are more capable of spreading the pathogen than the dead. So it's not so much about the text of the missions, but the context your characters view it in based on their own mindset.

You can get the Ouro exploration badge Chrononaut in Echo: GC, Chronologist is for time spent in Ouro which you still cannot access until L15. Edit: Nevermind... you apparently can get into Ouro via Echo: AP and even use the regular exit back to Atlas Park. You can even grab the Ouro portal while there and drop it down, but you cannot enter Ouro through the Ouro Portal temp power until you are L15. Go figure.

The term "carebear" isn't disrespectful in itself, it was generally used in gaming for players that were helpful towards their fellow players. Taxibots were carebears. When used to describe others as if it were a negative, I usually find the person doing so to be a posterior head-adornment. Courtesy should be more common that it currently is. Regarding opt-PvP in any zone, not sure it would be in the spirit of the game to see heroes battling each other in the street of Paragon.

Hmmm... I'm sure it's probably hidden in Enemies or V_Powers somewhere, Still trying to locate though.

I hear a pack of laughing hyenas. It's pretty noticeable and not something you'll come across anywhere else in the game. 😄

There's also the issue of the game engine not being able to keep up with a player's speed, causing a lot of shearing and tearing.

I just want to thank the devs again for granting the ability to disable signatures on a per-poster basis. It's the small things in life. 🙂

Right there with you. I get the whole 'immersion' thing with darkness and 'fog of war' but it's a huge eye strain for me in certain zones and maps as well.

I was thinking along the lines of Thermal/Water Defender named Coffee 'n Cream.

As far as opt-in PvP switches are concerned in all zones. I just don't see it as happening. Power functions follow a different set of rules when in PvP zone, now you want the game to calculate on the fly in the open world how it's supposed to function depending on who or what you are targeting at any given moment. Unless of course, you're willing to us powers permanently set to their PvP functions for as long as you are opted in?

I thought that the auction house was the SwitchFade zone?

You must have missed it: Psionic Dart wubba wubba wubba Powers psionic4 🙂 Well, the list does preced Elec Affinity by about 8 years. 🙂 It will take quite a bit of digging for the sfx for the new powerset.

There are several sounds stitched together to make up the Dual Blades sfx: Description: Nimble Slash Folder name: Weapons File name: Swordhit2, swordstab5 Description: Power Slice Folder name: Weapons File name: swordstab3, SwordSlicer, Swordhit2

I am opposed to a dedicated PvP server. This would require a thin, all-volunteer staff to maintain two separate code-bases. As for venturing into PvP zones for badges, venture in at your own peril. This was an annoyance for me back on Legacy but here on Homecoming I have found the PvP zones to be vacant. If you are on the Unofficial PvP server might I suggest transferring to one of the other servers to grab your badges, then returning to your preferred server. Seeing as how transfers are free and all. Worried about losing your name? Create a placeholder character during your detour, then delete when you want to transfer back.
