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.

Huh... I had no idea you could do that. 😏

I really couldn't decide so I flipped a coin and this version won... Robert Plant's The Honeydrippers - Sea of Love ...instead of this version.

From the Way Back Machine. This was not my character, but it was the funniest bio I ever saw posted to the Legacy forums. I give you 'Followed By Ninjas'

We are all very appreciative for all the work you've put into this. 🙂

At first I thought maybe you were using 'Armoured' torso option, but I couldn't replicate it with that. Is this in Icon or Beta, or regular CoH:H character creator? Perhaps save and provide your costume file?

I rarely buy salvage and sell most of it below market price on all of my characters below 30. Regarding the buy prices seen? I didn't see them that high last night when I was unloading loot and it wouldn't matter anyway, I bid for what I'm willing to pay (usually a lot less that the average price) and I'm generally not in a hurry. I've picked up ATOs for a quarter of their average selling price (or even less) by being patient.

You can always look down in the server forums for the SG name, most have an SG thread for recruitments and such. Not saying is will be down there, but it doesn't hurt to look.

This is why I like the popover preview you can get when you hover over a title, saves me from entering a thread I wouldn't be commenting in anyway.

What amazed me is when it was still Sub only. For the cost of a single movie, you could play for hours on end for an entire month. I found that to be a great bargain. Granted Free is good too. 😃

Personally, I'd rather see Hero 1 back in the game in a more active role now that he's been rescued from the Rikti.

Oh and another option if you like to blast at things are Corruptors which offer a combination of blasting and buffing/debuffing.

@MagnusChaos Greetings and welcome! I hope you enjoy the game as much as the rest of us have. The majority of us CoH'ers try to be helpful so feel free to ask questions here or in the game. 🙂 Also, be sure to check out this thread for Tips and Tricks for New Players, since CoH doesn't play much like other MMOs.

Created my character ahead of the new powerset on Beta, still haven't decided on Shock/Fire or /Elec... either will work with the name. Electrifry

Not saying you can't put them into SGs, but you cannot make SGs in Praetoria for Praetorians and as has been pointed out there are no SG spawn points in Praetoria. 😞
