They are not part of the emote menu but can be used by typing: /e swoon /e collapse I just tried it and both work, and to my knowledge I never did anything to "Unlock" them. You can bind them to a key if you want a quicker activation.

Welcome.....

I've found if you go through the available sets in each "Type", you can build a great toon with lots of set Bonuses. One of my favorites is Scirrocco's Dervish ( PBAoE Damage ) even if you only 4 slot it, it gives you 10% regeneration, 2.25% Pos/Neg Resistance, 3.75% Mez Protection and a 9% Accuracy Bonus, It is no where close to Purple Pricing at about 3-5Million per. Some others are Entropic Chaos (Ranged Damage) and Crushing Impact ( Melee Damage ), both give good bonuses without being Pricey. Also don't forget to look at the Merit Vendor, it usually works out cheaper to buy Archetype Sets from them with Merits, and fill in blanks with Influence, than do the whole thing through Wentworth's.

I faceplanted Bubba Burns ( rad melee/ fiery aura brute ) this morning in the Malaise / Rickti Mission from Maria Jenkins. Rounded a corner and there were about a dozen Seers etc, some on the floor, some on the catwalks, and not in melee range. Got De-Toggled and Pantsed basically. On the return from the Hospital I came up with a tactic to nail one corner of the group with a fireball and herd them away from the rest, rinse repeat, easy pickings from there. Malaise went down like a sack of potatoes.

Be sure to check out the P2W vendor with your Newby Toons, many of the old Veteran Rewards and Prestige Powers are available there for little or no cost. Some examples are custom XP rates, Sands Of Mu, Ghost Slaying Axe, Nemesis Staff, Buff Pets, Custom Enhancements, Reveal Power for Maps, Travel Powers, and much more. She is just to the left of the Atlas Statue Platform in AP.

Perhaps, guess I'm thinking they would want the "Monster Survived" Badge, but I see your point, I wasn't thinking that way, I wonder how they prevent that in C.O. , they have something similar that is, I think, behind a paywall. I never was willing to invest in it.

Well, just like any other Zone Event, there would be controls on it. It can only occur once every 4 hours. It has to be a level 50+ level Character to announce and start the event ( because they have to have the Incarnate Shards ) and the badges awarded would be based on success or failure, Heroes/Villains defeat the Monster, they get a badge and Merit, the Monster times out Alive, the Monster Player gets the badge and Merits. I bet it will be much harder to kill an Experienced Player working the controls of a GM than with an AI doing it, and way more fun. ( plus Kallisti is any empty zone, other than some roll players it's almost always empty )

I got her after a fairly lengthy bout, longer than I expected, on my Radiation Melee / Fiery Aura Brute ( Bubba Burns ), and went thru a few purples. I more Hate the IDF in Nightstar's Mission, those guys will not bunch up when taunted at all so had take them on one at a time. No AoE for you!

sssshhhhh.......we like these kinds of bugs.......

I think this would make a great event for Kallisti Wharf. The premise would be that once in every four hour block daily, A Player could go to a special contact in Kallisti Wharf. This contact would be available to Heroes or Villains, above level 50 and be located on the Island area in -between the Hero and Villain sides, next to the bridge. The contact, Dr Maladroit, would require 3 Incarnate Shards for a Special Project that he is working on. He begins his experiment which Immediately Goes haywire and in a Burst of energy and light effects, the player would become a Giant Greater Devoured, and the players power tray would reflect the powers available as the monster*. The hit points and def/res of the monster would be at GM difficulty to defeat, and needs to be attained within a 15 minute limit, at which time all participants are awarded a badge, and the player is cured of his monstrous state . If the time limit is reached however, he will revert to human form and he alone will be awarded a badge for his trouble. I think it could be very fun if they can get the scaling similar to the other GMs so everyone can participate and would give level 50+ characters some where to use up those pesky Incarnate Shards. It would also let Kallisti Wharf have it's own Zone Event. *( The same as when doing Personal Story Missions for instance )

I went on a futile quest to try and locate a Billboard I thought was in the game. What I came away with is that the Billboards and signs in game are at a horrible resolution. If I was able to document them. then reproduce them at a better level of clarity, what format would they need to be in? They are not a 3 dimensional asset, like a building or a rock face, so could very easily be cleaned up and loaded back into place, not changed or replaced, consider it more of a restoration. I don't know if Homecoming would want this but it is something that is within my skill level, if it doesn't require special and expensive software. I'm fluent with Gimp and have been using it for years, so for a non-3d asset, would that be possible?

Guess I never noticed there was the option for an alternate animation for Footstomp, the default one is all I've ever seen. You learn something new everyday.

This is where the "teen" rating kind of limited what could be in the game on Live. Oh course NOW we could have Prostitutes on the street outside the Casino, Buxom Showgirls strutting around half naked...um ...nevermind....I've already seen that a few times. I think actually that Craps would be the easier gambling staple since we already have a lot of the animations created in the "roll dice" emote, would just need the Casino interior with the Craps table and a way to score the game and place bets.

I have never tried to change gender but i have adjusted facial scales and height using the facemaker. Isn't that the most of the difference? hmmm. Guess maybe I assumed too much.

It is available already, I have both in my base, normal costume changes are by " Icon Employee ", for more advanced changes you need " Facemaker. Both NPCs are available in the NPC tab.

Upgrade ability - BizHub ( Copier Scanner Fax ) - while active All Summon Pets are More Powerful, Efficient, and Have a Reduced Endurance cost. ( Also Para-Legals come to believe people want to see Photocopies of their butts ) Habeas Corpus, Para-legals and Bounty Hunter are pet summons. ( 1 Judge, 3 Para-Legals, 1 Bounty Hunter/Supr-Sec/Bailiff ) Jr Partners would be a good addition. ( but they are currently undergoing a Sensitivity Training Course ) Bounty Hunter may be able to become Super Secretary or a Bailiff, ( but Bailiff would need to modeled after Bull Shannon from Night Court, Nice Guy with a Billy club.) The Minions ( Para-Legals ) Cause Paper cuts, Confusion and nearly impossible to remove coffee stains. The Judge files a Subpoena forcing 1 to 3 oponnents to come before him then causes a major Gavel Imprint in the top of opponents heads and is not attackable. The Bounty Hunter/ Bailiff would cause various kinds of Brawling Damage and May cause an Unexpected Counter Suit. Class Action Suit would cause Pennylessness, Paper Cuts and Crushing/Smashing/Lethal Damage over time. This was intended as harmless fun, but it would be funny to see what it looked like.

1) Cease and Desist: File paperwork informing your Opponent he isn't allowed to be Attacking you, under penalty of the Law. 2) Para-Legals: A group of three Para-legals bombard your opponents with Summons, legalese and Starbucks Coffee till they run away. 3) Lawsuit: You sue the pants off your opponents, literally, and now being pantless, they are easy pickings. 4) Restraining Order: You file Paperwork not allowing your opponent within 10 Yards, creating a safe zone from which you and your allies can pick them off. 5) Habeas Corpus: Your opponent is brought before the Judge, who pummels your opponent into submission with his gavel. 6) Bounty Hunter: You send a Bounty Hunter to bring in your opponent, with extreme prejudice, and force, for a small fee. 7) Class Action Suit: You file hundreds of suits, on behalf of others, till your opponent is destitute and buried under a mound of paperwork.

It seems that a lot of the current projects are limping along as well. As much as these forums have proven, there are many different opinions of what makes CoH good, and what we would change given the opportunity, I believe it to be nearly impossible to create a spiritual successor that the majority will be happy with. We have endless arguments just about how the team dynamic should function, Imagine trying to create a game from scratch. I hated the open instance format in Champions, and the lack of Structure to the power selection, and that almost everything good was behind a paywall. I applaud their tenacity, but will be surprised if any of them get to completion.

I honestly think that if you haven't logged in for 6 months anything below level 10 should be fair game, and I mean that the entire global account has been inactive that long. There was a population peak in about May/June of people that, for the most, have moved on to the next shiny. Well it's been about 6 months now and a lot of accounts are not being accessed or the population would be higher. As far as someone who is on MORE, being able to TAKE a name away from a less active player, that smacks a bit of Elitism, and has no place here. We all have our real life schedule and limitations, or lack thereof, and should not be penalized or rewarded based on our personal situation. This kind of thing is what ignited the backlash against SCoRE after the existence of the private server was posted, and is one of the darkest times in COH Community history and should never, ever be allowed to happen again.

oR i mAy bE LoOsiNg mY MinD, hEH HEh,

Guess I'll have to go see if I can find it. Remember it mostly because being 40 when i started playing in 2004 and have never played WoW, ( WoW came out just before the Hollows was added ), I saw the Billboard and didn't get it. It said some thing like " Leeroy Jenkins Sez.... " then a chicken reference. So I asked over broadcast who is "Leeroy Jenkins" and got the whole story.

No, I swear there was a Billboard referencing Leeroy Jenkins, the guy who missed the Raid Plan Meeting getting Fried Chicken in WoW, came back from AFK and charged into the Dungeon getting everyone killed. I think it was for a Fried Chicken place and was in the Hollows,

Helencarnate, Appreciate the Help on Everlasting on Saturday, Bubba Burns has been Respeced, made it to 50, and now has his Alpha unlocked, and the next 2 Incarnate slots in process. I followed your guide as far as Power selection for the most part, except took Pyre Mastery for my Epic, and then slotted him up. Got some decent Enhancement set bonuses without having to sell the farm and am now Soloing the Maria Jenkins Arc @ +1 with the only tough one so far being Nightstar. I'll crank up the difficulty once I get the rest of my sets bought and loaded. Thanks for sending me the link for your Brute Build thread.

Speaking of Memes, is the Leroy Jenkins billboard still up in the Hollows? Don't recall seeing it since we've been back.
