I would recommend either 'General' or 'Suggestions & Feedback'. Drama crops up in those sections every few days or so.

Matter of fact, you may find this thread useful:

I think you would have better chance down in the Art & Multimedia section. Maybe provide your powersets and origin and people will go to town on creating character designs for you.

This is correct, but not everyone cares for the choices that others would make. I'm all for options within the CC including sound, not so sure that I'd want any option I or someone else chose to be broadcasted to everyone. It would be nice if there were a 'Silent' option with power customization and/or an easier way for players to alter their own sfx. Heck, It'd be nice if the Powers Customization tab in the CC played the sfx along with the vfx. Should alternates be added for something like Sonic, then believe me, players will be clamouring for the same treatment to every powerset. A quick look at the table in my thread is a good indication of the vast array of powers sfx that have annoyed people since Legacy. 🙂

Yes, you can change the sounds of powers.

I vastly preferred PnP Champions over the MMO.

These are really cool, sadly my income is a negative at the moment. 🙂

Kitty says "Uh-oh" when food bowl is empty.

I'd rather not step into the S&F section to see half of the first page taken up by stickies. I believe that other people posting in threads for ideas that the like/don't like or add too is enough, since it will keep those threads on the first page.

QFT

Pancake Interestingly enough, I have converted people that have never played CoH to sub "pancake" for the f-bomb. 😆

Have you ever stopped to watch the NPCs move about the city? Some just meander along, others are in a hurry. You have students going to school carrying their book and workers carrying lumber. Meanwhile heroes and their counterparts get to swagger or stomp. All well and good on some characters but my 12 yo female character shouldn't sashay and my 4' nothing contagion shouldn't look like it's always trying to catch up to someone. Movement speed anomalies aside, it'd be nice if my character could also walk to school with books or pretend they are doing manual labour in order to get out of going to the mall with the Mrs/Mr, or carrying groceries to the kitchen, or carrying a briefcase, or talking on the phone, etc. Any number of which I'd love to be able to use on my characters. P.S.: Can we also get a separate Run emote please. There are times when some of my characters would just throw their hand up in the air and run around screaming.

You shouldn't need a folder and sub-folder for the majority of the sfx. The 'Category' column just allows me to break down the sfx into logical sections. Many came from the Legacy forums and looking at Psionic Dart I realized that the order didn't appear correct. It should have the folder as 'Powers' with psionic4 as the sfx. I have updated it. Glad you found a solution. 🙂

This clears it up, thanks. 🙂 I've gone through too many instances where marketing and/or publishers set the schedule in direct conflict with standards or best practices. It never ended well.

The way I read your comment was "publishing/marketing GOOD", " 'best practices' = BAD and the bane of all developers". If I got that backwards, my apologies. It appeared that you were equating "best practices" with a toxic work environment.

The confirmation is likely buried in the Legacy forums, but it was and continues to be a limitation of the game engine.

Agreed

First-hand experience for me is that most development teams work with and should work with "best practices" which generally is meant to keep their production goals on track, rather than being set back by someone's actions. Like working in main rather than branched code and merging. Rolling up your windows before going through the car wash comes to mind. The "toxic environment" is not generally on the shoulders of the devs (engineers, designers, artists, animators, etc.) but on the corporate/managerial side of things, the bean-counters and the ones that control the purse-strings.

The sfx for those would drive me crazy.

As someone who plays a lot of cc/buff/debuff characters, I'd also love to see more sets for powers that are not damage-focused.

Yeah, but they can keep him...I like Ghost Widow, she dresses way cooler. Goth chicks are hawt. Sorry, but since I don't bat for the other team, I prefer Scirocco for the same reason. 😃 I also prefer his story over hers.

I would find it more likely the Scirocco would shift alignments rather than Ghost Widow.

I can go for that. But I still want to see Hero 1 back in action.

I updated the OP. A popup from a contact introducing Praetorians to Doorman I think would be the simplest solution.
