There is a way to create a special custom window to store your macros instead of using trays:
To get started, create a folder called customwindows in your data/ folder, and then create a text file called custom.window in there. Make sure your text editor doesn't add ".txt" at the end or it won't work.
Inside custom.window, add this text:
Code: [select]
_____________________________
Window Macros 0 0 200 100
Open 1
End
_____________________________
"Macros" is going to be the title of the window; the other numbers are position and size (which you can then alter in game, so they don't matter much). Next time you start the game, this should be in the top left corner:
I always move mine to the right, above my insp window. It will always reset to the left when you log and you'll have to move it back.
Now you can click the "New Command" button, and that will make a new "Edit Me" button appear. Right-click it, and you can select "Edit Name" or "Edit Command" in order to customize the buttons to do whatever you want, as long as you can put it in a command.
I did this but I no new/extra window is showing up.
Any thoughts?

Please consider making it the following:
+50% exp bonus for -25% inf, +100% exp bonus for -50% inf, +150% exp bonus for -100% inf
Leveling solo needs major help. I know there are people who just love to jump into a large group and get carried to 50, but there are players like myself and others that would rather level by ourselves without feeling like we were just PLed to the top. However, in that same sense, the exp is really bad.. I mean REALLY bad for soloers. Please also see my mission completion poll I put in suggestions.
Another idea is give players who are NOT in a group a bonus to experience if you can add that.
I have to admit I agree my fellow soloist, Eldriyth. But even with out exp bonuses I am out levelling content. Would you maybe look at going the other way around. Ie. +25 Inf bonus for -25% exp, then +50% inf for -50%exp. I don't see dropping exp more then that for the pay off. A thought for you masters of the universe to ponder.
I'm a big solo-er as well but hit a bit of a wall at 32. I got to a couple of missions with Elite Bosses that were simply too difficult at 32 so I had to do radios until I hit 33.

From what you've said it looks like it's either your router or the bridged modem. I recently replaced my Cox equipment for a Netgear C6250 and that fixed some connection issues I had been having.
You can try updating your firmware (if you haven't already) but if that doesn't work then try picking up a new modem/router (ie: take the your ISP's machine out of the equipment even though it's in bridge mode). If swapping out routers does not work then take the new router back to the store then contact your ISP (many have email addy's for customers like yourself who work off-hours from their support).

The OP is referring to Praetorians. Since the Going Rogue splash screen is gold they are sometimes referred to as Goldside.
As in... "villains"?

Back in 2004, Marvel did sue Cryptic Studios over City of Heroes since it was possible to create a character resembling their IP in the character creator. From what I recall, Marvel lost.
.
That aside, it's up to the Homecoming team if they want to enforce players creating homages or even outright ripoff of established characters from Marvel, DC, etc. Personally, I don't see much reason to given that this whole game is currently unauthorized anyway and carries its own risks.
The reason Marvel did not win is because CoH's lawyer proved that they players that had created Marvel IP and play in game were Marvel employees. CoH had a reporting process in place and players were very proactive in self-policing because they did not want to see a repeat. The lawyer, by the way got a standing ovation at HeroCon.
As for the current Overlords, I don't think they've said anything, but just because this is not an authorized server doesn't mean Marvel/DC/etc won't swing a hammer.
Personally, I think it best to err on the side of caution and avoid characters that outright copy someone's IP.
I remember the case and that Marvel lost, did not know the players making the Marvel characters were Marvel employees. There's no better lulz than a self-defeating lulz.
I've always preferred making my own characters rather than re-making those of others, but I understand it. You can't swing a dead cat in DC Universe Online without seeing a Captain America, Hulk, Deadpool or Jean Grey/Phoenix clone, it wasn't much different back in the early days of CoH. Here's just a few examples from DCUO:
From what I understand they are considered homages by fans (like an animated fan art) and thus get around the IP issue. As long as money isn't being made specifically off of their likenesses I don't see this going to court again.

Thanks for all the replies. Looking back I realized I should have mentioned I also have my internal fan blowing on high to reach those temps.
I've dropped my graphics settings down to the minimum and saw some small improvement (average around 60).

Laptop (MSI GE73 Raider RGB 8RE) specs:
CPU: i7 8705H (Coffee Lake)
RAM: 16GB (DDR4 2667)
Video: GeForce GTX 1060 (6GB VRAM)
OS: Windows 10 Enterprise
I can run DCUO (DC Universe Online) or ESO (Elder Scrolls Online) with no heating issues. However if I run CoH, even with graphics set to mid-range I see my temps jump higher than those other games. Running just Windows on a cooling pad I see temps ranging from 36-41. Running CoH I see 66-70.
Anyone have any idea what could be going on?

Have you checked to make sure your anti-virus isn't stomping it?
This is what happens when you don't start with the basics. lol!
Thanks, that did the trick! Avast didn't give me an alert about it but I found it within Protection -> Virus chest. I approved it and now everything is working once again. :)

I am at my relatives' and their bandwidth is about a max of 1.5M down. I mention that because it's the only thing that's changed.
I run Tequila and it goes through the process of "Downloading score.exe", then once the progress bar finishes, Tequila just shuts down (I never get the Play option).
Manifest is still set to http://patch.savecoh.com/manifest.xml
Thoughts?

I live in the Deep South (US) and also only see latency issues when the servers are packed. Other than that it's smooth as silk.

I know you guys and gals are incredibly busy setting up the awesomesauce that is these new servers and this is a minor thing in comparison, but, is there any chance that we could possibly add an Off Topic forum for us to chat in, especially when the servers are down?
I used to love the OT forums on the old boards and it would be a great place to discuss things like Avengers Endgame, Game of Thrones, Doctor Who etc.
Usual rule would apply, try to steer away from political stuff, add a spoiler tag if it's a new movie etc, but I do miss the chance to chat and compare notes and theories about the subjects we all love :)
An off-topic board is a great idea.

Marvel was concerned at first, they even brought a lawsuit against NCSoft. The suit was dropped once it was revealed that the Marvel-looking and Marvel-named characters in CoH they were using as examples were created by Marvel staff. So if they dropped it then and it's going on strong and heavy in a game like DCUO then why is Homecoming "skeered"?
In all likelihood such a case against Homecoming (or even DCUO/Daybreak/Warner Bros for that matter) would probably end up with a ruling that the company has no responsibility for policing IP issues since they are not making money specifically off of the ability to create/name a Marvel-like character. Ruling otherwise opens the door to a complete clampdown on things from video clips to just having your own drawing of Deadpool as your forum avatar.
But wait... that only reinforces the "why are they scared" question, right? Nope. Because all of that is done against the backdrop that such a lawsuit costs a lot of money just to defend against. Disney/Marvel could easily bring the lawsuit and quickly leave a small group like the Homecoming crew drowning in legal fees before even going before a judge whereas a Daybreak (and their parent company) has their own legal team and would probably have access to that of Warner Bros as well so they could afford to play that game until an actual ruling came out.
