Not really interested in going tit for tat with you on this - it is simply less loading screens to go to the Oroborous zone via Oro portal than it is to use the beacons in the base.

I might be wrong, however I believe @Bentley Berkeley is talking about losing the capability of saving these as macro buttons. No need to keep a list of passcodes handy somewhere to copy/paste at the portal entrance. It's a very nice QoL feature to do that and I would hope we will be able to retain that capability with whatever replaces it, although I seriously doubt it.

Which is an extra loading screen vs using the Oro portal. Which this does remind me - was there ever a (non-story) reason given for not having a base TP beacon to Cimerora? Or was this something that just never got around to?

There is no teleport beacon for bases to the Oro zone map.

Maybe Warhawk's costume is scarier than yours? 🤣

Beautiful work! I would love to get a 3D print of my main. STO offers this as a service where you can get a 3D print of your ship - would be sweet if we could ever get that here.

She doesn't work there anymore though...

I have something like this in the works myself - it's more a personal story for my own characters so not "overall CoH canon" per se, but it will cover what happened to the CoH world during the hiatus. If you do write yours, please do share. I would love to try it out. 😀

^ Thread winner! 🤣

Saying that only one combo makes Empathy viable/useful at higher levels is not much of an argument to say it is useful lol.

@Bentley BerkeleyI don't particularly like or care much about PvP either, however I don't believe preserving the slash command for RPers at the expense of those who enjoy PvP is a good suggestion.

I've never noticed this myself, but I'm curious to check it out now. Can't you just turn your volume down while interacting with her?

And no one suggested it was not and should not be corrected. Removing it is not the only solution to the problem. As to the "hoolplah", it is a nice QoL feature that allows one to save macros to friendly bases without needing to tab out to copy/paste or type in base entry codes.

Are you trying to mix using Arcane and Tech versions? For instance, using Tech Power generators with Arcane rez pads? If so, I believe they need to be the same as in tech generator and tech rez pad.

This is not true. I already gave one example of a modern MMO which requires no travel to access the content.

I don't believe anyone said it should be allowed. Disabling its use in PvP zones or Arena and adding a 10 second interruptible activation time solves the problem too.

Well take some comfort in knowing you're going to get your wish eventually. It's getting removed no matter how much discussion there is on the topic and I'm absolutely certain we'll be stuck with something no one will particularly like. And the slash command cannot take you to Oro, not to mention the exit points for Oro in some cases are far better than the base exit points, so it does have its advantages.

By the time you finish a mission, your Oro portal is recharged. So no, not buying it. If anything, it is just another convenience like the P2W stuff or the Oro portal.

And this is different than using the Oro portal? Or mission teleporter? Or existing base teleporter? I mean, yeah it might save you a couple of seconds here and there, but that's about it. If your mission door is near a train station or your next zone is accessible from Oro, the slash command isn't necessary or convenient.

How? You still need to zone to a base then to whatever zone you need to go to then travel to the mission door.

Yes, you're correct. Your original statement that I replied to was filled with hyperbole. The slash command doesn't make travel any easier or faster, so trying to make it sound as if it is some game breaking thing in that regard is disingenuous. Your post categorized it as an "I win" button that somehow negates the need for travel powers. It doesn't. You still need to travel to mission entry points, contacts, in zone events or whatever.

So? The game existed for most of its lifetime without Incarnates too. All I suggested is that the idea has some merit. It may help toward alleviating some of the boredom with non-challenging content, it may not.

^ Agreed. I don't care for PvP either, however I certainly won't begrudge anyone who does enjoy it. No doubt using this in PvP situations to escape defeat is an issue.

I can only speak for myself here, but even with the slash command available those other powers are still very relevant. They are actually superior in certain circumstances.

I keep seeing the "go start your own server" type dismissive post being made in response to shout down suggestions of others on these forums. If the best answer that you can provide is "don't like it, go place somewhere else" then perhaps you shouldn't be participating in a discussion. Personally, I agree with this. IMO the existing content is boringly far too easy now for teams filled with fully pimped out incarnates. I don't know if removing the aggro cap will help with that, but it is an idea with merit.
