    I experienced the image storage limit a few years ago. After deleting many images in my posts, I hit it again two years ago. I have since given up trying to store images on Homecoming and instead use images already hosted on another site and link them in my posts. 

     Laucianna doesn't seem inclined to go to those lengths.

  2. Hello there, I'm wondering about the new patterns we get for costume parts. For clarity, I am talking about patterns, not chest emblems or cape emblems this time.

     

    I mean, I don't hate all of them, but most of them are kinda... well... situational. Specialist. They have a narrow appeal. Do you know what I'm trying to say? I mean... I would really like more patterns with stars on - heroes are all about stars. Even skulls or spiders (yes yes, I know, hehe, but in this game they are synonymous with Arachnos, obv) or specific animals (animals are great!) or insects or something. 
     

    I mean, we have several patterns from the vanilla game that incorporate images of the Atomic symbol or stars already (more varieties of star patterns can't be wrong, can it?).

     

    I have a suspicion that the reason that patterns are getting implemented (as opposed to images) is something to do with them being stretched differently on different models. Is that right?

  3. I know where you're coming from tho. The system has lots of weird quirks to ensure that things that might be cool/OP, don't work as you might think. 

    I think the enhancement system could do with some clarifications or warnings or somethings - WHEN you're using it.

    it would nice if there were a couple more attract effects in the game; the one on axe cyclone is super fun and it could really give a other other underperforming sets some distinctive flavor (like cmon just make black hole and aoe attract already, and watch everyone start wanting a grav controller)

    I agree. More OP stuff! - and balance the OP stuff with massive cooldowns.

    I have a "cosplay" character, too - Monster Movie, a necro/dark MM whose costumes are all based on Universal movie monsters.  If they didn't want a Frankenstein's Monster look-alike, why give us neckbolts?!

    I did a bit of digging. It seems the neckbolt version of Frankenstein is ...

    The flat-topped, neck-bolted monster we know and love was born in 1931, when Boris Karloff starred in Universal Pictures’ film version of Frankenstein, directed by James Whale. Sure, the copyright in the original Frankenstein story had already fallen into the public domain, but by then Universal’s movie (and sequels and derivative works) resurrected a whole new era of Frankenstein copyright and trademark rights based on the film’s visuals, especially Karloff’s appearance as fixed on celluloid.

    If that's true, then we have to wait 2 years to copy neckbolt-flathead, because ...

    Mickey Mouse will enter the public domain in the year 2024, almost 95 years after his creation on 1 October 1928 – the length of time after which the copyright on an anonymous or pseudo-anonymous body of artistic work expires.

    What does the word "anonymous" mean in that context, though?

  6. When I asked about this way back in the day, I was told it wasn't a thing, then I watched livestreams with it happening to streamers and I was vindicated. 

     

    Like when you have a badge window open and you mouse over a badge and it grows in size and the name underneath is dark instead of light and you can't read it. people deny that it's a thing, but I know different.

  7. I remember when it used to come in fancy bottles

    The 2nd best way is to play City of Heroes...

     

    That feels strange. A bottle of Newkie Brown and next to it a pint glass from Portland Maine?! Hah! But then I read that it's brewed in Holland now, so... bleh... forget I said anything.

     

    Oh I did find the most Newcastle picture I've ever seen... Here is Kevin Keegan and Ant & Dec wearing Newcastle football tops (sponsored by Newcastle Brown Ale) at Newcastle football club. Howay the lads.

    2. Unlock all Long Range Teleporter destinations. (First get all the exploration badges in Atlas Park, Mercy, or any other zone with a Base Portal. I don't do this until I'm at least level 2 so I get XP for the badges. Then get at least 1 exploration badge from all other zones with Base Portals. I do this gradually as I level on new toons. I spent a day or so unlocking them all on my existing toons when the system was put in place.)

    I only read up to here, but omg, I never knew that's how to unlock those.

     

    Is that information in the game, and I just missed it?

    Ok, I can't resist, I had to check this out 😛

     

    I signed up to the Adobe beta AI generator last year, played with it a little bit, but didn't really get far with it. So today I tried the Bing AI as a lot have mentioned it here, and I got to say, I love it! Just tried it with one character to start with, 'ALBION HAWK' DP/Martial Blaster.

    Some ok-ish results to start with...

    But then this came up (below) and I love it! I'm actually going to tweak the CoH costume to represent this image now. Will defo be trying this with more characters, I have millions 😄

    Looks like an advert for the BNP. 😞

    I was goofing around with keywords like “orthographic view with annotated schematics” and it included “art station style” in the pictures.

    I tried a suit of robotic armour "in the style of Darkest Dungeon" instead... (this is Leonardo AI).
