In regards to colorblindness, in Windows look at Settings-> Ease of Access -> Color Filters. This has options to change the entire display to better accommodate those with deuteranopia, protanopia, and tritanopia kinds of colorblindness.
These filters seem to work at a low level and affect most all applications and games.

I've thought it might be nice for everyone, players and mobs alike, to get a modest -recharge debuff when end is below maximum; one that scaled superlinearly with how depleted one's end is. So if you had half or more of your end left, it would be barely noticeable, like 0 to -10%, but if you were below 10% it hurt, like -25%, and below 1% it was horrible, like -50% or more. I mean, you're just so dead tired everything takes forever to do.

Everything at the START vendor is either free or one million inf. You'd think the devs would split it up into two vendors.
I wouldn't split it into two vendors, but a top-level menu division between Free and Not-free would be interesting.

"Hey GPT4, write lyrics to a parody song to "Dire Straits - Money For Nothing" using references to City of Heroes: Homecoming gameplay and popular player-memes."
(Verse 1)
Now look at them heroes, that's the way you do it
You're playin' on Homecoming, not on a private outfit
That ain't workin', that's how you do it
Heroes for nothing and inf for free
Now that ain't workin', that's the way you do it
Lemme tell ya, them guys ain't dumb
Maybe get a Mastermind, maybe get a Scrapper
We gotta move these badges, gotta move these IOs
(Chorus)
We gotta slap on purple sets, custom IOs
We gotta powerlevel our alts
We gotta grind for merits, and farm for inf
Playin' on Homecoming ain't for chumps
(Verse 2)
Now that's the way you do it, you play on Homecoming all day
That little Kheldian ain't dumb, he's an Incarnate, they say
That ain't workin', that's how you do it
Heroes for nothing and inf for free
(Chorus)
We gotta slap on purple sets, custom IOs
We gotta powerlevel our alts
We gotta grind for merits, and farm for inf
Playin' on Homecoming ain't for chumps
(Bridge)
Now look at that, that ain't workin', that's the way you do it
You play the game on Homecoming, that's the way you do it
You farm the AE, that's the way you do it
Lemme tell ya, them guys ain't dumb
(Chorus)
We gotta slap on purple sets, custom IOs
We gotta powerlevel our alts
We gotta grind for merits, and farm for inf
Playin' on Homecoming ain't for chumps
(Outro)
That ain't workin', that's how you do it
Heroes for nothing and inf for free
We gotta slap on purple sets, custom IOs
Playin' on Homecoming ain't for chumps
Heroes for nothing, inf for free-

I do this, too. Is there some easier way, though, to move them from salvage to AH? A slash command of some kind? I drag and drop 10 at a time, but when I've got a few hundred to move over it wears on my trigger finger.
There is not, sadly. All I can recommend is placing your salvage and auction windows so that you don't have to drag them very far, and the return key does hit the okay button. So you can click, drag, drop, return and have 10 drop in the auction.
It may be tempting to use an external macro program to automate this, but that would be against the code of conduct.
On the other hand! If it were easy, more people might do it, and prices would drop. Tell yourself that while you are icing your sore fingers. :(
Seriously, take breaks, or break it up into small sessions of auctioning while you're idle from playing content, or similar.

where do you get the recipes to make them?
You get uncommon recipes from mob drops or off the auction, craft them, and then use converters to convert them by rarity into uncommons in sets that have rare pieces too, then convert them in-set until they hit the rares in those sets, and then convert by rarity again until they turn into valuable rares to sell. You mix in converting by category (e.g., defense) to be a bit more efficient to use fewer converters.
There are guides here and on youtube for how to do this in detail.

Here's one I found for you using forum search. It's about a year and a half old, but should still be good.

There is now literally no reason for supergroups to exist. Not a single one. I personally don't mind, but if people want to bring back the concept of supergroups to Homecoming, then they need a complete and total overhaul. There needs to be some tangible benefit to belonging to one, and right now that simply doesn't exist.
And yet there are many, many supergroups and we even get into intense drama over membership in them.
It's because there are still good reasons to belong to them.

We can buy games where we play many of those copyrighted characters. They own the copyrights to those characters, and have the legal right to deny us access to playing them unless we pay for it. When we come here to do it instead, in their eyes, and in the eyes of the law, we are cheating them of a sale in a way that's more or less equivalent to theft.
Sometimes people can get away with it, because they lay low, or were just lucky. But it's still wrong, and it's still something we each agreed to not do. Even if all we did was click an okay button on a web form -- that's still our given word, and we should be good for it.
We have nearly limitless creative potential in names, backgrounds, and costumes. Let's be original, or at least stick to respectful homages.
If you make an homage character, and if you're in doubt -- /petition yourself! If you were over the line, the devs will let you know! If not, you can play that character free of any worry it will ever get the gen-hammer. Win-win!

I didn't want to read this thread, and I held off for a while, but I did.
Point me to the sign there's a proc change incoming. Until then, I think this is manufactured outrage. I'm not going to present my opinion on it at all. I have one, and I'd make the case for it strongly if it didn't just rile people up more.
To the OP, why start this thread? Has it been burning inside you for a long time? If so, why? What signs do you see there's a massive nerf on the horizon? Did you just want to stir up a lively debate for the fun of it? If so, just say so -- that's permitted as best I can tell. Are you trying to cut off any such nerf before it happens? Why do that now? Why not a year ago, or four years ago, when last the Devs mentioned procs as a system to be looked at?

I want to nominate the amazing @ChiliBear of Everlasting!
The favorite bear who everyone knows, he runs events and TFs, leads the 7:30 MSR, and can be found at nearly every event.
He found me in PocketD, dragged me around to meet what seemed like half of the server, and led to a big majority of the friendships I have developed on Everlasting.
Everyone knows its him when he calls out
He donates regularly to player run events, appropriately he put in 23 billion inf into donates for bountys and constume prize pools for 2023.During MSRs, he does a player spotlight on different people, letting everyone know the good things they are doing for the community and helping the place feel welcoming to new players. For a while right after the licensing announcement as new players flooded in he hung out handing people free money to get started.
He has recently been injured and in the hospital, and when I get on, I have to field many questions from people wanting an update on how he is doing and if he is feeling better. He has pushed himself to still occasionally make it back and lead events despite the pain (And my admonishments to take his pills and that we can cover for him) and the outpouring of love for him is amazing.
Chili Bear is indeed a great and outstanding player, worthy of high honors. I second (or third) this nomination.

Last time I went hardcore marketeering I would buy 100 super packs. I would always make more back then I spent but it was mind-numbingly tedious. I'm kinda considering doing that again just to see if it still works.
It still works, and in modest numbers, the tedium is not too bad. And the non-sellable drops are pretty nice to have in your email, too.

Aha! so you just have to offset the patches and the line will cross!
I wonder if it's pointing towards 0,0,0 or similar?
I think it always points in the same (x,z) direction; off-hand I can't recall which; it's towards one of the four map corner directions.

Another quirk of the power is that for reasons I do not yet understand, it sometimes teleports your victims into a neat line extending away from you, and potentially outside the range of your Auras and Patches.
I've seen it do this many times. Once, it happened slow enough (due to lag) I caught a hint of maybe why it does. all the mobs teleported in a tiny spot, and then they slowly spread out into a line. I think it's the server trying to deconflict their overlapping collision boxes. When it does this, it's always in the same direction.

I could imagine some amazingly powerful new incarnate slot that increases AoE radii. Maybe just on one side of the tree. Maybe the other side increases the target cap. Maybe this new slot would be paired with another new slot that increases aggro caps. Maybe one side of that one decreases aggro caps. :D

just don't care
For most of them, I think it's this. They have empty new slots; they're flush with inf, or feel like they are, and it's burning holes in their pockets.

Maybe I'm imagining that, but it does seem like the devs have tinkered with the code to fix (or, at least, ameliorate) the old problem of the price not showing or showing inaccurate numbers
This was a recent, and very welcome, fix they put in.

There's a few ways to think about margins, and the denominator is vitally important to me. That denominator might be market slots, minutes, of time, mouse clicks, or others I can't think of right now. A low margin effort sometimes worth it because it's quick and easy. High margins sometimes aren't worth it to me because they're neither.

Just a heads up if you aren't aware...
Code of Conduct:
-
Do not cheat or abuse exploits
- If you find an exploit please report it to a member of staff immediately
- This includes the use of scripts and programs to automate gameplay
- This includes trying to deceive or otherwise cheat other players for your own gain
I'll reiterate, don't self-snitch! See "CLR Bruce Rivers" on Youtube!
Most everyone knows about macros and such, and we don't use them because we agreed not to when we accepted following the code of conduct as a condition to play here.

I only claim unslotters from my Character Items now on characters that need them. I was able to pull off a handful of thousands before they put the governor on, but now I just don't feel like spending a few seconds to extract one unslotter. Ugh.
If you can claim one Unslotter per second (seems to be right about the limit), and sell for 80k after fees, then that's 80000 Inf/Unslotter * 3600 Unslotters/hour or 288 Million Inf per hour for clicking.
Eeesh, I still don't want to do it.

How accessible is our game?

These work very well.
Sometimes, too well. They make many powers completely invisible, and some mobs are made entirely out of particles and will become invisible. As an alternative, there is the "Max Particle Count" setting under Advanced Graphics. This ranges from 50000, which makes bright in-your-face VFX, and down to 100, which, imo, makes a much more subtle reduction in VFX density.
