Let me preface this by saying this is not a personal cheap shot at anyone. I believe we can all understand the reasons behind the secrecy before HC was made public. With that said, what @jubakumbipointed out here is a legitimate cause for concern in my opinion.

Beautiful work! Very nice balance between outside and inside. Some very creative design here! Definitely post some photos to share with everyone.

Tintable grass plates so we can make sand/snow surfaces without a necessarily needing a whole new object.

Side note - is there a way to make your thread title more clear? Click bait thread title.

"Balancing" travel abilities is not so important anymore in an age where we have P2W teleport abilities dropping us at a mission door or porting directly to our SG bases.

You can also make a macro button to port to your base anytime from anywhere. Just type this into the chat; /macro <shortword> enterbasefrompasscode <yourpasswordhere> Example; /macro TBCB enterbasefrompasscode TORCHCS-5949 That's the one I use for the Community Base on Torchbearer.

Look for it in the system chat. It should show up there once you set your passcode.

Thank you both! 🙂

I think you're not looking at this in the correct context in order to avoid admitting you yourself have admittedly done illegal things in the past. For you to sit here and say it is perfectly fine for you to be doing something wrong yet other people shouldn't do something you have done yourself is in fact hypocritical.

I think what they meant was that people who break the rules themselves shouldn't cast stones at others. At least that is how I understood it.

LMAO! What a load of complete and utter nonsense.

This is the crux of it right here - "play as I want you to, or else". People who don't share a certain viewpoint are not tolerated. I find it fascinating that you're perfectly ok playing a for all intents and purposes illegal copy of a game, but I get that is tolerated because you don't like NCSoft or whatever. I guess it is only illegal and stealing if it is something you don't like. Anyhoo, this is probably a separate thread at this point. We've pretty much derailed this one.

What about the people you don't know whose feelings are going to get hurt? They don't count. No need to respond. I already know the answer 🙂

LOL!! Too funny 😛

You didn't answer the question.

Who did I call a name? Show me the post where I mention any by name specifically. You're ascribing the phrase as a negative when it really isn't.

If you told someone you are playing a male Mutant superhero with claws and regeneration powers, what/who do you think is the first thing that comes to mind?

Depends on the intent, doesn't it? Sometimes the shoe fits and the truth hurts, but it is still the truth. Some folk are more community minded than whereas others are more self centered egoists. There is nothing wrong with differing opinions. At least to me, the best is to agree to disagree and let others play the way they want.

Nor should you. Absolutely nothing wrong with healthy debate! 🙂

@jubakumbi - these are the same kind of people who tell others they "aren't playing right" when they don't do stuff the way they think it should be done.

Again, a compelling argument can be made that any character created in the game is a ripoff.

Eg. "Costume policing"

The inverse of this is also true - it clearly showed those who have over an over inflated sense of self importance and put their enjoyment of the game above others. Those people took it upon themselves to dictate to others what they should and should not do because they don't like it. These are also the same kind of people who criticize how other players play the game - regardless of what the character may look like - because according to them "you aren't playing right". I have no qualms whatsoever admitting I make clones. What is the harm in it? How is it affecting you from enjoying the game other than you simply don't like it? I had them on live for years and never once was there a C&D filed or copyright infringement suit made, so your paranoia over the whole thing is just that - paranoia.

Never suggested otherwise. I just doubt it is the pressing issue many are portraying it to be.

You missed the point completely. None of what you posted here has any impact on other players character concept or design, which is something I think everyone can agree most all players are very passionate about. If not, we would all be GenericHero001202 and all look the same with the same power set combo. As of this moment, is CoHHC legit? Do the HC folk have express permission from or legal agreement to be using NCSoft's intellectual property without some form of compensation for the owner? If the answer to that is no, are you playing a legit game? One of the thoughts on all of this is that the game code is out in the wild now, so anyone can start up a server anywhere. NCSoft would potentially be issuing C&Ds and filing suits to shut them all down forever. Is the cost of doing that worth it to them for an antiquated game? As I said earlier, do some Google searches for skins/mods for just about every game out there and you'll find downloads of skins or mods of copyrighted characters being used without the consent of DC or Marvel or whomever. Some of them have been around for decades and they are still here. Many of them are widely known and well advertised via YouTube and such. If Marvel/DC are so evil that they are going to file copyright infringement suits, why are all these other sites/games still up and running? Maybe, just maybe Marvel/DC are looking at how much it will cost to file lawsuits against all of them and came to the conclusion it is not financially worth it to them? Perhaps Marvel filed their lawsuit years ago because they were looking to get into the MMO marketplace and wanted to quash the competition? Marvel and DC both have their games out on the market now. The whole "OMG MARVEL IS GOING TO SUE!!!" argument doesn't hold water anymore as far as I'm concerned. To be anal and paranoid and want to become the "costume police" is just being paranoid and anal. I can give another example - CBS for decades never said one single word about Star Trek fan films. In many cases, they fully supported the effort of some who made very high quality studio level content. That all changed when Axanar came about and someone tried to make money off of it. The HC folk have said CoHHC will remain free so long as they are in charge of it. I believe Marvel and DC will do the same as CBS - nothing. It simply is not worth it to them. The Marvel who filed the suit is not the Marvel of today. So what is more likely to happen - Marvel and DC are going to threaten to sue because someone made a clone in an antiquated free MMO or the IP owner is going to pull the plug because someone is using their property without their permission? Spend more time enjoying the game your way and let others do the same in their way. People adore their clones just as much as the next persons "original" concept.
