Looks like a new "fix" will be in the works soon.

Lol! I had just finished an epic struggle to start and build an awesome league when *suddenly!* (DUM-Dum-dummmmmm...!) I received a notification from the server that indicated I needed to take a break for the night after an *exhausting* day with the Halloween event! Strangely, the message was encrypted and simply read "Lost Connection to Mapserver." After a few seconds, I decrypted the message and finally surrendered to the pleasant moments of peace! I think I'll watch the original series of Star Trek! Edit: They're back up, already! They probably came up before I finished posting this...!

Resistance 2. Just something awesome that will make everyone jealous.

I was thinking of a humanoid female ocean dweller. The powersets I chose are going to have to be cosmetically repurposed for an aquatic theme. But I'll deal with that later. None of what I present here is *required* I'm just posting it to demonstrate my initial attempt. I thought that the heels were ridiculous for this theme but the "flats" and barefoot didn't quite feel right (just yet.) The second color of the hair is the block directly above the one presented in the picture. The outfit is being presented as a functional bathing suit. It's the Athletic top and the Shorts 1. She's a Defender, so keep your distance! :-) Like I said, I'm not dogmatic about any of the selections (including color.)

...so would it be possible to trigger a zone event for a specific zone in *all* instances of it at teh same time, instead?

Is it possible to add the zone number to Zone Event notifications? Like... "Zombie invasion is Peregrine Island 3"

I have a Dual Pistols/Ninjitsu Blaster. Still getting the hang of Blapping... The Gravity/Kinetics Controller sounds amazing! I have a Grav/Time 'Troller but it never occurred to me to try Kin!?

I'll see your two blueside and two redside mishs and raise you: I did blueside mishs while Rogue.

Not entirely. I use it to ensure my "cancelled" transactions were legit cancelled. There was a time a couple of years ago when the Cancel feature didn't work right away. I lost millions on bids that weren't cancelled when I clicked Cancel and were completed instead. The channel notifies me when the cancellation had taken place. It also informs you when you've bought or sold items and the Auction House is not up. To each their own.

I move stuff for the badges.

1) Friend of mine. I was around and had means when it first came out but money was a little tighter than I felt confident in investing in CoH at the time. Joined Homecoming in July 2019, I believe. A friend in table-top RPG gaming turned me on to it. He and his friends had been playing since Live so it was cool. 2) Badges. I keep coming back to the badges. Money? Power? Meaningless. These are but tools to farm those badges!

I logged in to this notification (left.) I pulled up the Auction House and it only showed the amount you see on the Sold tab (right.) Now, I get it... The number on the Sold tab is the number of *listings.* The number given on the Auction House Channel is the total number of products presented in those listings. So it's like saying "you have twenty-two listings presenting fifty-three products." As far as I can tell, that is! Is this right? But wait! There's more! The other day I saw someone mention that you can only sell thirty items at a time. Where does *that* relate? Were they referring to "listings" or actual number of products? Yeah, yeah. No context... I would have to restart that entire conversation to provide context, so nvm. But *wait!* There's even more! Last night I *gathered* thirty-two listings worth of products (there were thirty-four total listings completely sold.) Then the "Get all Info" conked out and I was blasted on all channels with "That's too many products, peasant!" What happened? What's going on?! Make it make sense! Why do I seem to be able to sell zillions of products but only collect them a spoonful at a time? How does this work? What am I doing wrong?!

I *just* noticed something awesome! Captain Bladehook triggers a notification on the applicable Zone channel! On *all* of my toons, I set up a tab called "Zone" which has Hero/Villain/Praetorian Zone Event channels included.

I first noticed this current event the same way I noticed the Anniversary Event in 2024 for the first time: glowies scattered throughout the zone. I asked in the Help channel and a player with the name "GM ?????" answered and assured me that no badges were lost in the making of this Event. It lasts for the weekend and there are no badges for participating. The devs specifically did this for players who couldn't login this weekend. The event has a pirate-theme but I don't know the "official" name for it. The only feature of this event I've seen so far is the scattered glowies. FUN FACT! The locations of the glowies correspond *exactly* to the Anniversary Event Time Capsules and the Winter Event Presents! Yay! You can get the "Winter Event Gift Maps" overlay from City Modder to help you find them: All of this data presented here is subject to change for correctional purposes.

You're right! Sorry! Martial arts/Ninjitsu Scrapper. Flair on the level of Office Space. Darker shade but not necessarily dark colors. Someone uploaded this and I thought it looked pretty neat. Although I replaced the "cut abs and thighs" look.

Can you post the file for this costume, please?

I just wanted something better than this Ninja outfit in the "Custom" section of toon creation. Fighting games on consoles and anime have gotten it right. But this is kinda boring for a female toon. Any ideas?

DIdn't there used to be a costume forum? I just wanted something better than this Ninja outfit in the "Custom" section of toon creation. Fighting games on consoles and anime have gotten it right. But this is kinda boring for a female toon. Any ideas?

At least give us a phat a$$ like hers!

Ok, I get it. TP doesn't work on them. ATT doesn't work. But can we at least have Speed Boost work? Please? The struggle is real! Or maybe just let all forms of TP work on following NPCs? Pretty please?

I have a degree in computer programming and I have plenty of experience with information and how easily it's lost in translation. I don't write programs anymore but *all* of the programs I wrote had *very, very tight* controls over data in order to prevent information from being corrupted. Wait... You don't understand "data" vs "information?" It's pretty simple. "Data" can be simply defined as "too much information." Something I'm sure everyone is familar with. But "information" can be called "actionable intelligence." Neat term, this "actionable intelligence." It was created by General Michael Flynn before his disgrace to mean "information that we can act upon intelligably." Data won't get you anywhere. A list of random phone numbers in no particular order is not useful at all. But when it's organized into *information,* let's say "alphabetical and by city/state," then you can use it to act intelligently. Simple, right? That said, I have no understanding at all why a player would say "here" during a team mish or (ESPECIALLY!) a league mish! Oh, yeah. Sure! You can right-click their name (even in the chat) and click "Follow" and magically be transported to their position. And your conscience is clear! But what if your team consists of complete newbies? That's *defintely* something to consider in this modern age of CoH/CoV when new players arrive all of the time! What if you're in a League and have *no idea* what team the player said "here" is on? Now you have to spend forty-five minutes to three hours checking and rechecking each team (because you forgot to grab your reading glasses) to find that player and interpret the "cut off" of their name in the roster because their name is too long to show completely and *finally* click on them to "Follow." Ok, my time line is *heavily* exaggerated. But you know what I mean! As opposed to simply typing "$loc" to broadcast their position far and wide for anyone to simply click on and create a waypoint to easily find. Why is this so difficult? I try to explain to players the advantages of this and they "tut-tut" me with "there's nothing to see here."

You *must* be able to access blueside to complete this guide. You can be Hero, Vigilante or Rogue. To begin with, I want to leave out the TFs for this. Except maybe for the "Rescue the Mystic" mish. It's pretty quick. NOTE: The Mystic *can* be affected by ATT and similar tp powers as long as she's attached to a player. So an *excellent* strategy would be to leave a player at the entrance who has TP Target, ATT or any way that they can get the player who has the Mystic attached to them back to the entrance as quickly as possible. I guess I'll start in Atlas Park. This version tries to be as sequential as possible. It also assumes that the player wants to run the Spelunker mish. None of the TFs are included in this list, although the possibility for hunting defeat badges is included. Any corrections would be appreciated.

One day I saw a LFM claiming to go after the "Received the Atlas Medallion" and "Freedom Phalanx Reserve Member" accolades. I assumed we were going to get one then the other. Little did I suspect the *real* agenda the team lead had! The person had came up with the idea of getting both of the Accolades in a single run!? Mind! Blown! It took me a while to realize that was what they were doing because it was pretty messy. Obviously their first attempt. But a great idea, nonetheless! In this thread I'd like to explore ways to make the process of getting these two accolades at the same time in the most efficient way possible. Meaning, as new posts add ideas, I'll probably continue editing the original pathway. First, let's explore the shared zones. The number in parenthesis indicates the number of exploration/plaque badges available. The Spelunker badge might be a challenge to mix into this because players might use the contact *or* they might use Ouro. Received the Atlas Medallion Freedom Phalanx Reserve Member Echo: Galaxy City (1) Echo: Galaxy City (2) Kings Row (2) Kings Row (2) Steel Canyon (1: Spelunker) Steel Canyon (3: Exploration badge, Posi 1 & 2 for Gear Smasher and Heldenjaeger for Unveiler) Skyway City (1: Spelunker) Skyway City (2: Exploration and Synapse for Gear Smasher) The remaining zones are not shared but I wanted to add them so that maybe we can develop a path with a mix of shared and unshared zones to increase efficiency overall. Received the Atlas Medallion Atlas Park (2) Perez Park (2: 1 plaque and Spelunker) Striga Isle (2: Silver Bullet and Slayer) Freedom Phalanx Reserve Member Boomtown (1) Talos Island (1) Independence Port (2 or 3: exploration badge, plaque and maybe a Yin or two for Tank Buster) Echo: Dark Astoria (1) Terra Volta (2: 1 plaque and Tank Buster) Faultline (1: Gear Smasher) Whew! I get by with a little help from my friends! Also, I'd like to put this "arc" together using the lowest levels possible! Any ideas to start?

What category is that in within the base editing interface?
