I was going to say the forums...both Live and now...On any given day they will make me laugh, shake my fists in anger, think quickly and quirky, or think slowly and thoughtfully.

This is truth. This is me. +1 Influence Doc!

I like the idea of the tutorial, but agree it's massively off in the levels it's introduced Ideally: Level 1-5 - A New Day Dawning Remove the visit to KR at this point, you'd be clobbered as lvl 1 Level 5-10 - Big Leagues Add the Visit to KR/Blue Steel in the beginning Remove the Visit to Steel Canyon (again too high level, and too early for University) Add the "If you don't mind" mission (SK'ing/Examplaring) Level 10-15 - With Friends Like These Add the Visit to Steel/University in place of the "If you don't mind" Something like that feels like it follows the rhythm of the low levels much closer

I love new powerset ideas, and I like this one...however, with all that tech, the only offensive weapon is missiles? Seems almost too singularity focused around the concept. Surely that guy has a couple of other tricks up his armor plated sleeves?

Are we talking an invisible shield? Or a translucent shield that is "invisible" in game? I can totally see the one happening, but not the other...

I could totally see a few different concepts around this. Love it!

I'm not opposed to a change. I'm not a fan myself of this animation on an ally. I've been away from COH for several months and I just noticed this yesterday in Atlas, and was mildly horrified by the experience. +1 for the change

I'm going to admit I haven't read all 7 pages, so my thoughts my be repetitive This is supposed to be fun, even for the volunteers! I'm glad to see Dev's using time to work on things they care about and find easy ways to execute them. Kudo's Sounds like we aren't replacing TO's at this point, or DO's, just making SO's more likely to appear. If that means more people to team with on lower level missions, then I am all for it. I'm am wondering at this point, what is the value proposition for IO's that start at level 10. They are worse than SO's, and much more expensive than DO's despite being on par in ability to DO's. Should we just remove IO's until level 25? Reset the Steel Canyon tutorial for later in the game?

I’m not with Homecoming, but compliance with EU privacy law is a whole another level of complexity above PCI compliance and US Privacy law. Also, how does one go about proving they “own” said account? For most players, their username and/or password are long forgotten. Password resets on discontinued email accounts would be impossible. So then how do you about proving it? And I imagine this proof process would be manual and would generate thousands of help tickets to our volunteer GM’s. Or you just let a select group of people who do remember their information have access and generate a big group of have’s and have not’s which only fragments the community. But honestly, the EU’s GDPR would make this complex, and the costs of non-compliance would make it risky.

The Beta Server user list is periodically cloned from live. Looks like the last time it was updated was the first week of December, so it doesn’t have you as a member on it yet. Next time the Dev’s update Beta you should be good

This is why I don’t slot - too complicated, and what do you get for your troubles?

I love it! is it a tribute to someone? I only ask because of the interstitial picture in the video (“never forgotten”) Get’s my vote for in game music

Nothing to add to the tanking discussion, but since B5 is so quote worthy, thought I'd throw in my two favorites - "No boom today. Boom tomorrow. There's always a boom tomorrow...Boom, sooner or later. BOOM!" – Lt. Cmdr Susan Ivanova "I suppose there'll be a war now, hmm? All that running around and shooting at one another. You would've thought sooner or later it would go out of fashion." – Ambassador Londo Mollari

Sorry, I'm just not following your syntax here. The request to get their old NCSoft stuff is out there, yes...made a few times on these forums. You are saying that's not a helpful request here? On these forums? Because HC isn't NCSoft? If so, then I'd just add that Leo and the SCoRE group had the character database at one point I believe, and dumped it due to the risks involved, so it's not a bad assumption that whoever is running the code would have access to the character database behind it as well. It's still never going to happen, but I understand why one would reasonably ask HC about it.

Not every issue has blame. There is no blame here. Users are most certainly not to blame, but neither is the developer. Not everything, in fact most things, just don't work 100%. of course it's true if crytilis gets tired of other people posting about it, the right solution would be to make an enhancement that corrects. But short of that here is no onus of blame nor responsibility.

How does this solve the issues about people being able to properly “acquire” the correct account if they don’t remember their credentials?

What request? I don't follow...And what does the fact that NCSoft and HC are separate entities have to do with it?

I am perma haten this post. we should all be perma haten. It's the the new jerk hackin Thanks @DocRadio and GM Widower

If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it still make a sound? A lack of feature is not a bug. A lack of cross compatibility, regardless of how intuitive it seems to you, is not a bug. It's still a lack of feature. of course, you can still keep calling it a bug, but you won't be using the same inferred and explicit definition that everyone else on these forums uses. I’m really unclear on why you keep pushing this, if you know it isn’t going to change anything. I know that I am only pursuing it in an unnecessary attempt to defend Mid's Reborn, which, while full of bugs, doesn't include this lack of feature in the inventory of them.

Any potential intentional or unintentional mismanagement of personal data gets you into legal SNAFU’s with more than just NCSoft. Now you have player data in the wild and that could mean legal challenges from players as well. My thoughts here: Personal data like CC #’s and addresses aren't really a big issue. It would be easy enough to remove those columns or tables of data from the database. Proving you are the owner of that account would be hard. I don’t remember my CoH password from live. I don't remember my old password from that shining new hotmail account I used to play it, but haven't used in the last 5 years. So how would I prove ownership? The staffing to manage thousands of help tickets to get access to live player data would be staggering And if you only offered access to just the few that remember everything, then you will create a permanent schism between the have's and the have not's. Beyond this, the Dev's have already stated this is a non-option for them.

I have interest...I switch between 2 computers, frequently, from different locations. The import/export feature is only useful if I use it every time and save it to a shared location (Onedrive in this case), and then import every time to ensure the changes are copied over. It's still better than the spreadsheet, because updating several of them with new badges was a much bigger pain.

It's a silly debate. The developer @crytilishas said he is done developing the application. It's rather irrelevant what the definition of this or that is, or the possible solutions. I for one applaud the work he has done, and completely understand his wish to no longer continue work on an application that brings him no reward other than our appreciation and his own personal self-satisfaction. I agree. This is the right definition Clearly, there is an expectation, or the user wouldn't have posted. However, I think your analogy stands. Somethings work the way you hope, somethings don't.

@KeyboardKitsuneThis tracker is awesome. Moving off the spreadsheet into an online DB is so much easier. Thank you for taking the time to do this. I'm going to go like a bunch of your posts so you get some more "street cred" for this!

That's not even an option for anybody. I'm pretty sure the code doesn't have configurations built in for Issue 1, Issue 2, Issue 3, etc. You get i24 beta as a starting point. Where you go from there isn't about it being in the wild, it'd be about having a deep familiarity with the code and with exactly what was in each issue. It'd take years to unspool it back to a issue 1 program. I'm pretty sure it wasn't a serious suggestion you were making, but I do wish people would stop suggesting people who are unhappy 'go somewhere else'. Unless a person is toxic levels of rudeness, then they should have the same rights to post here as everyone else. They should have the same rights to be heard as everyone else. This game doesn't belong to anyone but NCSoft. So no one here is a "better" voice, or "more of a voice" or more invested in the game than anyone else. The servers don't belong to anyone but Homecoming. Again, there is no voice on these forums, apart from HC staff that are the "right" voices or more invested in the game, or have the "right" views than anyone else. There is no "us" vs "them". No "you" vs "me". We may disagree on many things, facts, and opinions, but we are all still people at the end of the day. I'm sure many people who argue on the boards would get along fine in a PUIG in game, and people you've struggled with in-game you would strongly agree with on the boards. There are people on here you may harbor anger against and you could later find out they are a valued co-worker in your office, or a fun family member that you didn't even know played. This is not to say we can't or shouldn't disagree, but let's try to be civil, and not kick people to the curb.

One is an opinion. The other is a fact. It's not legalism, nor having it both ways. I have frequently posted in defense of AE, farming, and powerleveling multiple times in the many threads I have "participated" in. It's an opinion I have. And honestly I don't do any of those things, I just don't feel that I own the definition of fun for you or anyone else. It is a demonstrated fact, without evidence (that's the key here, evidence) to the contrary, that more people on these boards ask for things to be made easier, simpler, and have their characters be more powerful. That's not an opinion. Anyone can just go in and count the threads like Leogunner did. It won't stop other people from coming back and saying "I feel that your counting is wrong", but that comes back to a feeling, not a fact. And yet, you still are. And I realize that nothing I say will discredit your beliefs in your own head. You feel you are right, and no amount of math will sway you. I really wasn't posting for you, but for other people who might be confused by the difference between fact and feeling. Honestly @InfinitumI have no quarrel with you. I just don't like reading that someone else's data is wrong but unwilling to provide evidence to the contrary.
