As my PB slowly makes his way to 50 I've been looking at sets and counting merits. Boy I need a lot more merits/money. 🙂 I saw a thread about Essence Transfer, how the heal proc only works for the slotted power. I can deal with that. What does the special in Kheldian's Grace do? Do you need to slot it in Nova or Dwarf or will any power work to mule it? Any other sets or specific IOs I should be looking at?

Electric/Electric Zot, zap, boom followed by lightning rod - muhahahaha all the way

It would be nice to have an option at Icon while working on a costume to output it as a 3d file. No doubt there are issues, the need to code it for example and NC getting on board. More and more games are adding the ability to 3d print so maybe there is an api they can get the code for? We can hope.

I have the Power Transfer Chance to Heal in White Dwarf on my PB which is a 'mini' stamina power. While in White Dwarf form it does intermittently proc for a plus heal. I expect the same would happen in Stamina. If this is valuable or best for your build I do not know. 🙂

I prefer to believe I was under cover double crossing Soroco. I dont have Mace on any of my characters.

My two most played

For me a rebuild is exactly the same name and same primary/secondary. My main-main is 50 again but not yet tier 4 with his alpha. in the old COH I had 4 servers maxed out for characters and only ever got 3 to 50. My first 50 is again 50, my second new 50, is a guy I had wished I'd gotten to 50 the first time. My soon to be 3rd 50 is also a remake -- that said I have plenty of other characters that are new ideas and new power sets.

Much better question to ask: Who did NOT remake their main, or, any old characters?

This and get a merit from time to time

I expect I am in a minority close to 1 in missing travel powers being available at level 14. It makes Paragon City bigger and gives you a much larger appreciation of the city streets, growing up, gaining power and has a certain feel to advancement that is now lost. I played a controller to 50 first starting in Issue 1. From before Controllers got the big damage buffs (more base damage plus containment). Back then the base duration for all control effects was twice what it is now and had half the base recharge. You moved slowly through mobs but mobs didnt move unless you have permission. Perma stun with FlashFire + Fire Cages was a real thing.

I would expect anything captured from the Live servers to be fair game too. But sounding like nothing out there. Oh well.

Hopefully not a TOS issue please let me know if so. Anyone know where I can find some Zoom usable Looping or still shots that are work appropriate? If from the Before Times good too.

Honestly I'd like to see COH go monthly with a cash shop again. With NCSoft getting a small/nominal percentage of the net profits. As say, the Franchise owner. In fact I would like to offer to be an employee in that case. Bring in more money - proper and legit, keep NCSoft in the loop so that they dont take a reputation hit and are this interested giving Homecoming free reign. The work done so far, patches, etc are all awesome - compared to what they could be - a Modern DX 12, OGL 4.4, or Vulkan 1.2 based engine would not just have better eye candy it would do the work much faster.

/IMO /Grain_of_Salt /Soapbox_stand_on NCSoft has gained and is likely to gain more community good will through this project. This has value. So long as this does not lose money or cause reputational harm or become a PITA for the corporation (someone else making money with your product is losing money to a corp) NCSoft is in a plus situation even if negotiations are dragged out forever not getting yes is in this case not the same as getting no. /soapbox_end

I like my Fire/Storm/Leviathan Controller and my Fire/Storm Corrupter both of which operate on an elemental/magic theme.

COH does not play well with others in Win 10, it didnt in earlier versions of Windows either. If one is only playing sound from COH it works ok, however, when you want to watch a movie on the second monitor, play Pandora (or whatever), -or- use Discord or some other 'Coms' the sound system rises up much like a cobra spreading it's hood and begins spiting poison everywhere. Specifically getting the volume correct in COH to be able to hear Discord (or whatever) involves trying to set sound volumes in game to about 1-3% (and never seemingly the same percent day to day) - while at those percent not all sounds quite the same leaving me having to adjust back and forth depending if I am solo or grouped with friends, watching TV etc.

I am pretty sure I had a couple in Live but dont remember for sure. In Homecoming as yet I have no character where I have taken it all and one character.

So nice to have Mids up and current. For us old ppl with only 20/20 vision and large 4k monitors can an option be added to increase the window size/scale? I am hoping to avoid changing the resolution of my monitor or use the windows scaling option as both cause other issues. The text is a bit small to read otherwise.

How does one do the bindfileload trick?

How would I bind to the "f" key to have it swap between fly on/off and swap between two costumes? The one with wings and the one without? I know the parts: /bind f "pow_exec_name fly" part /bind numpad2 cce 2 ccPureEnergy (Wings) /bind numpad3 cce 3 CCPureEnergy (No Wings) Can I put it all together and have it alternate? What would happen were I fly switched on/off real fast while costume change is on cooldown? Thanks to all

Does not work. When in my bind the costume change fails as well. This is on my 36 PB is class matters.

Immob a group of mobs on top of each other and tornado does awesome damage, AV fights it is good too. Dont forgot it also debuffs and CC's. It is a very strong power -- the damage just tends to be spread out. It is also fairly easy to get the recharge to the perma state where you can recast before it expires. I have the Achilles proc in it with my Fire/Storm Controller.

The game engine is older. It is amazing what it can do and that things still look pretty decent. It doesnt use the optimizations that later versions of dx/ogl implemented to increase efficiency and reduce power consumtion. It would be awesome to see the engine modernized. Not sure who would do the work or how it could be paid for -- awesome non-the-less.

Oh crud never mind. It's unique -- has that changed?

Gaussian's should fit in any 'To Hit buff' power, right? Is this a bug or am I missing something?
