Torchbearer is where my primary farmer resides and he's loaded (Funds my incredible Alt-Itis). Pretty sure I was untouched by this and if I did get pinged it was very minor. Whew!

I don't think cars, planes and such could be done. It would take too much here. But, I betcha skateboards could be done. Rollerblades as well. Tie them into Super Speed.

I VERY much support this. I started on HC on the TB server, as did my old SG, because we thought the name would cause it to be the most populated server. We failed to take into account the "Power of Stan". That SG is still on TB, as are many of my toons, but I have about 3 times (I have terrible Alt-Itis) as many, as well as my personal SG and base, on Excelsior. This will even em out a bit with the new and returning players coming in with the recent GREAT news, and hopefully it will stay somewhat evened out in the future. Good idea dev peeps!

Maaaaaan... When all of the servers were down for a bit this morning I feared for the worst. Turns out it was the BEST! Congrats GM peeps!

Maybe a bandolier full of knives as a costume option to go with this. I like it!
-
Maybe allow a catalyst to work both ways. First one attunes it and second one returns it to its original level?

I don't want all of the crazy things that are being asked (demanded) for on this thread, but I WOULD like 4 slots at level 50 vice 3. Just one extra little rounding out the toon slot. I know we can't all have all slots full and all powers for everything. That would make everyone Superman and make the game MUCH too easy, and it already IS pretty easy.
And to the guy who thinks he can't have his Scrapper fly while having all of the other powers he wants, I have dozens of fully decked out bad arse Scrappers and ALL of them have a travel power. Not to offend, but you're doing something wrong.
On another subject... I really really really REALLY want dual auras. PRETTY please?-

Have you gotten to the mid 30's with this set yet? I've got a level 35 Storm/Time Corruptor and I think the set solo's GREAT. Won't be everyone's cup of tea though. It's a planning/takes a wee bit of time to do the damage set. Not as much instant gratification when compared to sets like fire.

Homage toons that don't cross "The line" are great. Have a few myself, such as "Legacy Vell" (The only thing he has in common with Mar-Vell is the color scheme and the star). But I am WAY sick of seeing toons such as Cycl0ps, that look just like the comic book versions. It not only puts our game in danger, but it shows a complete lack of creativity. The costume creator in CoH is QUITE rich. There is zero need to copy the talents of others.
I report them. EVERY TIME.

Been looking forward to it too, unfortunately I can't seem to get the game running. Gets halfway through the download and closes 😞

I was just talking about this ingame yesterday. I'd love to have 5 or 6 different animations to pick from.

If that's all you are getting from anything I'm saying, you're not reading. As I said in response to your prior post, the things you listed for "and prestige can do this!" can be done *now,* without prestige being turned on. And *are* being done now, without prestige being turned on. And with no explanation or argument of just how prestige enables those things in any additional way. The same is true for your original post. There's zero rationale for just how Prestige enables anything you listed or makes it easier.
What you list for reasons for it in your OP, and restate again later:
See who plays in SG mode? Why? To earn Prestige. Why earn Prestige? Because... you... get a bigger number that does nothing. Plus, *as I listed before but you apparently chose to ignore,* many activities that actively benefit the SG would do *zilch* for generating prestige.
Rewards for contests for the SG? You can do that now without (re)introducing another currency. SGs do that now. I've participated in them. Got some inf, got some super packs. That sort of thing.
"Make SGs talk internally." SGs do that now. If yours isn't, you can do that without Prestige. Just ... start talking.
And a vague "make SGs matter more." Again - you can do this for your SG without Prestige. When prestige was available on live, it had *zero* impact on which SGs "mattered." Hell, "mattering" is pretty subjective, not objective, and some number in the SG listing isn't going to make a whit of difference. It doesn't show how active an SG is - one member could churn all of it. It doesn't show how involved the SG is on the server, or how it treats its members, or how often it plays or anything else.
Oh, yeah, and "It can have badges tied to it" mentioned by others. So... yay, if you have a badger, you can have a few more? That's the closest thing to a positive, and at best it's a neutral argument.
None of that is "I don't want it." It's all "There's zero point to reenabling it, and reenabling it can, has, and given that history likely will cause conflict."
(My you are an angry fellow...)
I am suggesting an additional choice. If you do not want the choice Greycat, that is fine. Perhaps others do. Flavors are good things, most of the time at least.
Take off your shirt and stomp out the fire under the collar. Sheesh.-

Here's the thing. You don't need prestige to do any of that. That's the *point.*
SG doesn't talk? Start talking while they're on. Get people talking. No prestige needed. (You wouldn't earn prestige for typing in chat - or starting a discord channel or whatever and talking there - anyway.)
Have meetings? Say "Hey, guys, let's be more than a group sharing a base. How about every Thursday afternoon for the next few weeks we run a different TF?" No prestige needed to start doing that. And no pressure if someone can't join and isn't making that number bigger.
"Make the ranking system mean something?" It didn't really before when we did have prestige. But again, you can do that *now,* as limited and kind of pointless as the ranking system is. Heck, why *would* you want to tie prestige to it? See my previous example in the other post. One person does nothing for the SG, but farms 'til they have 2b prestige. The other builds AEs, builds bases, helps out in chat, works on builds, organizes events, etc... all things that generate zero prestige. Which should have any sort of recognition in the SG? How much impact would that number really have?
Make the game more fun? Find out what people like. Do costume contests. (again, not something that would generate prestige.) Have level 1 multi-zone races, or "run the rails." Have a PVP event. Have a level 1 PVP event. The only thing limiting you is your imagination and willingness to do something - not the existence or lack of a farmable number.
So far, there's just no good argument for bringing it back.
Thus far Greycat, the most compelling argument that you have made is that YOU don't want it. Ok. Very cool. Start or join a SG that doesn't use it. I suspect that many or even most won't. Don't take away the freedom from those who might enjoy having another option.

Holy cow are people making more of my suggestion than it needs to be. Each SG can do whatever they want to with it. Super Groups actually used to actually be a little different from each other and more than just a base. If it was enabled, I'm sure many would do nothing at all with it, and that's fine. But the ones who do might actually have to TALK to their members. Maybe even have meetings like we used to do back in the old days. For those who chose to make it matter, the ranking system within the SG might actually mean something again. And if you don't like the way your SG is handling it, change to another. Everyone has a fully decked out base these days anyway.
Lot of choices on how do handle prestige is it was enabled, including doing nothing with it at all, which is the only choice there is now at all.
Just trying to find an easy way to add a tiny bit of more fun to our already crazy fun game.

Heh. Now I'm working on dinner with no time to play. Figures... Enjoy Super Duper folks! Look for me as Ghost Bow on Excelsior in an hour or two!

Switching back and forth from keeping up here and reading "Heroes in Crisis" on dcuniverseinfinite.com on another tab.. Good stuff. Love having a gazillion comics to choose from at any given time to read. 🙂

There's an absolutely classic service call thing about someone calling to say their computer doesn't work and, tldr, it ends up being that the area is suffering from a power cut.
I'm a hardware tech. If I forget to plug something in I tell the customer there was a "Discontinuity of electrons". They generally accept it and are dazzled by my brilliance 😉

It occurs to me we have a few servers worth of GMs with not much to do. (Excluding the engineers battling the problem, of course.)
This inspires two thoughts:
- It might not be the best time to start a flamewar on the forums. Someone will probably notice.
- We should have enough people to run an old-fashioned RPG. Tabletop Champions, anyone?
Used to LOVE tabletop Champions. My old Brick Shatter was a powerhouse...

Odd... This happened at about the same time I found that glove with the gems on it buried in my backyard. It looked so pretty I put it on and snapped my fingers.
Did I do something bad? 😉

It is an imperfect world, sometimes things break, and Venus is very far from my backyard.
The HC team does a GREAT job, and this kind of thing is bound to happen from time to time.

Can't even see a server status now. This is a network issue. They happen. Wait it out. All will be ok.

Started with Excelsior, then TB, then the others. Dunno what happened.

Would it be possible to enable prestige to count up when folks are playing in Super Group mode, BUT, before people start calling for my head, while keeping base items free at the same time? I'm thinking it could be used internally by SG's to see who's playing in SG mode which could be used for contests and such within the SG's. I'm thinking it might make SG's talk internally a bit more and maybe make SG's matter just a tiny bit more than they do now.

Classic controls issue?
in Help & Support
Posted
Even with classic controls selected, when I am looking at a side view of my toon movement snaps me to forward (Normal from the rear) view. It didn't used to do that. Is there a way to go back to the way it was before the update? This only seems to happen with newly created toons. Existing toons work as before.
Sometimes I like to look at my toons and their various effects from the side while moving. Makes for good screen shots. This issue prevents that.
