I sometimes take long breaks from HC CoH but will never leave it. My multiplayer batteries wear down, and then I have to go into seclusion to recharge them.

And in lots of powers simultaneously.

Alpha does a lot more than the OP's concept, imo. Imagine if this was a new kind of Alpha, or a counterfactual Alpha that had been designed as a single seventh slot instead of what we actually have.

Well, yes. But we can dream. :D

Personally, I think it'd make a good candidate for a new incarnate power.

One sneaky thing that happens is that Windows by default scales 4K monitors which should be 3840x2160 to 2560x1440. You'll find a "Scale" setting in the display control somewhere defaulted to 150%. I set that back to 100%. Then, I go inside City of Heroes and change the UI scale to 150%. City of Heroes does a better job of making windows and text sharp and readable this way, and lets the rendered graphics use the full glory of 4K.

It helps to log in first before saying you can't find any other players.

I have the same problem -- I run my UI at 150%.

You can open and close them, and move the little closed window-boxes around the screen. There are three closed custom windows in the upper-left corner. Custom windows can be a bit ill-behaved. They're hard to drag around, tricky to resize, and don't always remember their positions. But they're worth it.

I keep a lot of buttons and macros out, and use custom windows quite a lot too. This is my set-up for running pick-up teams. Despite all this, I'm not a clicker in combat, I have a lot of key binds for things that aren't on my main command bar 1.

I doubt any of the people here want you to leave based on what you post in the forums. I suppose, at worst, they'd want you to post less. Or maybe differently. :D Take a short break; play a few other games a while. I do this myself when I'm feeling burned out, it helps.

I had the AI prepare a response for this too, but I've already dragged this far enough. I hope the thread was helpful to the OP -- ITF's are fun and worth doing even from level 35.

Prompt: With what we know about Andreah and Ironblade from their site profiles, write a response she might give to Ironblade's last post. Response: Possible Response From Andreah "True, I do enjoy a good analysis. Maybe I should set up my AI to automatically generate City of Heroes forum post critiques. I wonder what kind of insightful commentary a bot would have on your 'Git gud' suggestion? 😆" This response stays true to Andreah's established personality traits as seen in the sources: her analytical nature and interest in AI technology are evident in her playful suggestion to create a bot for critiquing forum posts. It also directly addresses Ironblade's post, using his "Git gud" quip to drive the humor. The use of an emoji further emphasizes the lighthearted tone and playful banter between the two forum users. This crafted response showcases Andreah's ability to combine her analytical side with a playful sense of humor when interacting with other forum members. It blends her interest in technology with her understanding of Ironblade's personality, making for a response that is both engaging and relevant to their ongoing exchange. Well, there's nothing automatic about it.

I suppose more people using Merits to buy recipes could explain some of it, but recipes are a pretty bad way to trade in merits -- I thought more people were figuring that out, not fewer. Maybe it's the new people who're playing since the NCSoft License? So the causality train would be more people doing merit-content, trading in those merits for recipes, and then more recipes being crafted, and there not being proportionate salvage dropping along side them resulting in a steadily tightening salvage market.

In normal play, drop rates of salvage and recipes have a certain balance. Whether there's more or less of them, they stay in that balance. What non-normal modes of play produce more recipes than salvage, rather than just less of each in proportion?
