Attache

I have generally never worried too much about CoH lore when working on backstories for characters but is there a Power Broker kind of analogue or organization in the lore where powers are for sale? I mean, I know Crey can kind of fill that role too but I also feel like canonically, they want more in return than mere money.

I also just dropped I-Spy if anyone is interested.

Well, this is probably fair enough in general but a wee bit hyperbolic give Naomi's statement about the Gold Bricker jetpack specifically. It was stated that they were "going to do a tintable Gold Bricker pack + legacy pack" save for an existing and ongoing discussion about customizable jet pack powers in general. I read that as saying that the GB jet packs could have been added along with the other Gold Bricker parts and had they been, they would now be undergoing the extensive testing and refitting you mentioned. They nixed it because of what seems some overall plans to make the combinations of back / flight options and powers (vaguely) "better" but with the caveat that it isn't a promise of a planned feature and if this overall improvement is significantly delayed, the GB jet packs (and presumably others) may be added ahead of said improvement anyway...which may or may not even ever happen. Yes, I do find it a bit strange to add the costume parts of an established enemy group while leaving off their primary costume feature but I'm not, like, mad about it. I appreciate all the volunteer devs do. I just echoed the sentiment of someone else in the thread and while I am aware that the genie is out of the bottle and that there will probably always be someplace to play CoH as long as tech allows, I still operate under the possibility that this could all go away some day rather suddenly so I would rather we get to experience what we can, while we can. If a shut down ever befalls HC, I can't see starting it all up again someplace else. I'm not saying I wouldn't...only that I can't see it at the moment. 😉

Amazing additions all-around though I am definitely in the camp that I'd rather have the Gold Bricker pack with the other GB parts now even if it doesn't get improved until a fair bit down the road. The GB pack has a nice mid-level tech look that fits in nicely between the more retro options and the sleeker looking tech wing options.

I deleted some characters - most in their mid-twenties - that were unlikely to ever get much higher. Enjoy! Adverse Almighty Apollo Arch-Rogue Circus Maximus Igneous Rock Jibe Monstreme Null Set Phenomenal Girl Roach King Star Pirate

I grabbed Maiden Heaven off this list. I may have an idea for it.

So pleased to have placed! Thanks for everything you do, GMs!!

Retiring my 7-year old XPS and building a new computer tonight after work and since I definitely have my priorities straight, I'll be re-installing CoH the minute I get Windows in and all the driver updates done. I was still on Tequila so going to change to the Homecoming launcher. What can I copy over from my previous install to keep my character arrangement, settings, and layouts? I know if I want access to my costumes to copy over that folder but not sure about other game settings. Thanks for any help!

Thanks! Changing to 2 columns had the same issue but changing to 4 seems to have fixed it. Just to clarify, Shadow Recall isn't even a power choice in this build and it was happening on default 3-columns since I did the latest download. Happened on every build I looked at - probably a good 5-6 today. Shadow Recall isn't a choice for any of them. The above example was on a Archery / Tactical Arrow Blaster.

Hey! Big thanks to everyone keeping Mids up and running! I'm running into this weird thing since downloading the latest Data and Image files. Sprint is appearing as Shadow Recall at Level 10. If you go to slot it, it reverts back to Sprint but if you put that slot back to any other power, it turns back into Shadow Recall. It's more of an annoyance since Sprint isn't usually getting slotted but is this happening to anyone else? Or did I flub something up?

I grabbed Major Battle from the long list above. Working on some ideas.

I do have one alternate set on that character - forget what right now. Lore, maybe? But I'm not a huge alternate build kind of guy. I mostly figure my supers powers are their powers and that's it.

I had a number of 50s back on Virtue and a few of those I got to the top tiers in the various incarnate abilities but, generally, I would get distracted by a new favorite alt and would peter out on actually getting the character the sets I wanted. I *finally* have a 50 with all the sets I wanted AND top tier Incarnate powers. And it only took 16 years (minus 7).

I couple of these I got from the list and a couple I found on my own but I am dropping them all: Lefty Mugsy Quiz Kid -> could be paired with Quizmaster above for a dynamic duo! Screaming Meemie Screwie

Since Staff came up on Live, I just wanted a spear. A basic spear. Some themed spears would be cool - Greco/Roman, primative, high tech, etc. But, please, just give me a spear.

Quick list....was looking for a name for a water-based character and found these before I decided to go the mythological route. I also released the name Mermistress, which I never really got into. Enjoy! Sea Cadet Sea Cow Sea Fox Sea Ghost Sea Gull Sea Lark Sea Maid Sea Mist Sea Moon Sea Viper Sea Vixen

I get this error too and what is really annoying is that it will let you equip the Navy Colt in your right hand and use it but at some point by means of a trigger unknown to me it will revert back to the Semi-Auto. At Level 50, this is a 210,000 influence costume fix. If it can't be fixed, please get a lot more generous with the free costume tokens because I don't want to spend millions merely keeping my character looking like he is supposed to look. At first I thought it was costume changes that prompted the issue as I have some costumes with different pistol choices so I avoided costume changes and it happened yet again tonight/this morning. Please find a fix for this. Thanks.

My Old West dead gunslinging rogue Tarnation prefers to possess human beings to get the full range of his powers and as he is a dual pistols corrupter, he looks for gun welding types to possess specifically to fire his spectral bullets of cold iron, ectoplasm, or hellfire. I have a couple generic ones - a Freedom Corps agent, a Detective, etc. but I thought it would be more fun to get some costumes from other Everlasting players instead of using my own few DP alts or those of friends. I have a macro that I use for the transformation and will fully credit any creators (with character name and global) as an out of character mention during that transformation. The only tweak that would be made would be that Tarnation keeps his green glowing eyes so costumes with auras will be substituted with that aura instead. I have space for 2 villains/rogues and 4 heroes/vigilantes. Characters should be human - it is a limitation that he cannot generally possess aliens or animals. You should be able to attach costume files here or you can message me with them if you would rather they not be out and about. It is assumed that these are not necessarily willing possessions - though they certainly can be if you have a reason your character would agree to such a thing. Tarnation still acts as himself when possessing others so I wouldn't be doing anything to misrepresent your character. If it makes you feel better, add Tarnation to friends and you can track down to make sure I'm not hanging out in Atlas pretending to be you. If I get a lot, I'll pick my favorites. Include bios if you can! If I don't get many (or any), I will reach out to friends and my alts.

I played around a little with Speed of Sound last night. Cosmetically, I think I would prefer it over Super Speed on my speedster types if there wasn't that pause in the running animation after you jaunt (really bummed about that) and if there was some kind of streak of costume colors between the old location and the new, suggesting more of a faster-than-you-can-see movement than what seems to be a garden variety teleport. Hope to play around with the other powers tonight.

SG Name: The Sentinels (formerly the All-Star Sentinels of America from Virtue) RP/RP Friendly: We are an RP group Theme/Era: Golden and Silver Age in Theme but the era is today Redside/Blueside: Blueside (Only Heroes and Vigilantes need apply) Recruitment Message: No matter the threat or what we face, Sentinels Stand Together! It is a confusing time for our heroes. Some distinctly remember the universe unraveling seven years ago. Others do not. While we all carry memories of the last seven years, some of them feel false, fake. Was it just the Sentinels that fell apart or was the multiverse torn asunder? With global disasters and crime on the rise, some of the old guard are coming back together to safeguard the Earth and to seek the truth, no matter where it leads. We're old school style crashing into modern times and we need fresh blood to tackle new problems. Join us! A few OOC guidelines so applicants won't be blindsided: - All applicants will have a role-play interview with at least two (or more) Sentinels. These are almost always done at our base, the Sentinel Sanctuary. - All applicants must have a bio in place by the time of the interview. It can be in any format but there must be a bio. - Costumes are a subjective element on which opinions vary widely but we tend to lean towards classically style costumes that would fit best in the Golden and Silver Ages. Look to those eras for inspiration. Golden Age costumes often have a pulp feel, sometimes with co-opted "regular" clothing elements. The Silver Age was all sleek spandex and a space age feel. - Names are another subjective element on which reasonable people can disagree. One person's trash is another's treasure. We tend to love evocative names that speak to the eras we revere (names that have a bit of gee whiz pop to them) but also realize that names can go fast. Proper spelling and punctuation will be expected and we generally don't accept members who have missing or added punctuation or characters to facilitate getting the name they want (i.e. no Mr Name, Ms. Name-, Mr. Name', or xXxMs. NamexXx). There are still good names out there if you hunt for them. Made-up words that evoke the powers/abilities/characteristics of the hero can work great. The Venture Bros. has many examples of these kinds of names for inspiration. - When we like an applicant, we like 'em so we tend to be forgiving if some of the elements mentioned above aren't quite what we envision. That said, we are interested in tightening up the theme a little so keep it in mind! - We are, by design, meant to be a smaller SG. A 60 member max with a potential 5 characters for each player. As a smaller SG, we need an active player base. If you can only play once a week or once a month, we are probably not the SG for you. We need people who play more nights than not. @Attache is my global as well. Reach out to me or to our Prime Sentinel @ApeChild if you are interested! UPDATE: After a brief resurgence, the returning Sentinels slowly faded away. I was a fun reunion but if we make another go of it, it will be a different incarnation and under the original SG name. This SG has been disbanded.

Yes! I forgot to mention that Lightning Clap was the only one, initially, I'd planned to skip. Thanks!

@Attache before and @Attache again. Attache (my wannabe Statesman sidekick) was my first 50 on Pinnacle before I moved over to Virtue where I was mostly known as Liberta and Doctor Epoch and a couple dozen others. A handful of the All-Star Sentinels of America are back as well. The new SG name is The Sentinels. Find us!

Thanks for the thoughts! Appreciate them!

First, about me - I don't need to build for 100% maximum efficiency. I like to take the occasional second travel power or power(s) just for theme. But if I get on a PuG, I want to be able to hold my own. Is anything in the primary and secondary that is pretty underwhelming and skippable? Reading them, I kind of dig most of them but I would like to squeeze in 2 travel powers as well as the Fighting epics.

As someone who frequented and loved the Virtue Name Watch, this absolutely was not my experience either. I regularly grabbed names that I later released (and posted) when a concept didn't come together. In getting literally dozens of names from people over the years of the Watch, I never had one person solicit payment nor have I even heard of what you describe happening. People being people, I can well imagine that it did but I believe it was the exception, not the rule. One of the things I and others used to do was post long lists (sometimes themed) of names that we found available. I cannot even begin to say how nice it was to hear from people in messages or in-game thanking me for a name I dug up that worked perfect for an idea they had. It can get tough when I server has been around awhile and some folks just like single word names. I tend to be one of them. I still would find the occasional gem on Virtue even in 2012. It was fun finding cool names so late in the game.
