So is your suggestion we don't address any issue unless we can address all the issues? We should start at the worst example and go from there. Do you have an in-game example that is more appropriate here?

I always do /bind T "target_enemy_near", which leaves the Tab key intact, but gives me an easy key in reach of the QWE keys to always focus on the closest target...

Correction: NO ONE should have to die for ANYONE to deal with their shit. But yeah, equality amirite? OR! We can just accept that there is writing we do not like and do our best to make better products in the future. Rail on about how you can do it better, sure. You however open yourself up to just as much criticism so be prepared. Leogunner - so what MrCaptainMan said was true, right? Women (being someone) should not have to die for men (being anyone) to deal with their shit. Since the example in this case was specifically about a woman dying for a man to realize his flaws, and not about all people dying for someone to realize their flaws, I think he nailed it, right? You correction is unnecessary and obscures the issue, so not really equality...

You are tying three together that don't have to be connected... As a human, we can feel conflicting emotions...I can be excited about getting a free steak dinner, find out the restaurant is out of steak, and I get free hamburger instead...Is getting free hamburger bad? No. Am I negatively impacted? Not really. Am I disappointed? Yes Again, that being said...Why do people ever say "No" to things then in this forum? It seems hypocritical to say in this thread - let the dev's do what they want, but in a Damage Meter thread it's no no no you can't do that.

As they are not being paid, and this is a hobby project for them, I think it's extremely presumptuous to pass judgement on what they do with their limited unpaid time. I think the Devs should do whatever they want. Now that the source code is released... if some independent developer wants to make the BRB on their own server, and they get it working and do ALL of the legwork.... I don't think it's too much to ask for the HC team to take code submission in consideration though... in fact, I think there should be a path for that. PK, I agree with you 100%...That's why I said - it's their passion project...they can do whatever they want... I am not their customer, they do not have to cater to me...They don't have to cater to any of us... That being said - I don't think there is anyone here who has /jranger'ed someone else's idea, but with the disclaimer that the Dev's should do what they want. We all express opinions on what we want to see, and where we want to see time spent. One of the things I love about HC is how open they have been to listening to their community

Lord knows I did...And clearly a bunch of other people who went and saw it at the box office - #122 Most selling movie ever...

The gain is Fun and the Joy of building it, if someone wants to code it. Not everything has to have some +/- in-game-powers-AT-based ROI. I am sure if someone takes it on as a passion project, using the existing code, a smart person could find a reasonable way to implement. It's just code, not splicing DNA in real-time on an infant. Jeesh. While personally, I'd rather Dev's work on new Story Arcs, new AT's, new Powersets, new Zones, and new foes than a BRB, it's not my sandbox, and I'm not their customer. This is their passion project, not mine. If they choose to invest in building it, I'll kick it around. I'll be disappointed, but I'll still kick it around.

I always appreciate your attention to story MrCaptainMan, you love a good bio, do great work on Mission Architect... Is this an example of poor writing? Yes Is this an example of Women in Fridges? Yes Does the argument, well if the roles were reversed, would it still be an issue, work? No...because you are right, there is a bias of violence against women from men that isn't present in the reverse... Is it misogynistic? No...Even in the Wikipedia page it doesn't reference this trope as misogyny, just a bad bias and bad writing. Does it compare to targeting people of color or children? No, it doesn't compare. Lt Page isn't sexually assualted, she's not targeted as a "class" of person, she's targeted as insane object of affection of a whackjob... Should the dev's take time to rewrite it? I would hope not, simply because this seems like it's a low priority affecting a few small people... Suggestion: Why not take a stab at rewriting it yourself? Put a revamped version in MA? If it get's traction, it would be less work for the Dev's to update it...

I like that - new content, recycle what we have, player choice - seems like a win! It would be like selecting a location on the tram - pick: Bloody Bay - PvP Bloody Bay - PvE

That Macro box, if you double click it, opens it into a window where you can add/edit the macros That being said, Albion, I followed the steps 1.) Already had a data folder (doesn't everyone? Isn't that where the maps go?) 2.) In game typed the command /customwindow macro 3.) Got a Macro window (yeah!). Added test macro (em none) 4.) Closed game Challenge #1 - no custom.window file in my CoH\data folder Challenge #2 - no macro window when I log back in...bye-bye... What am I missing?

There is a find contact option under contacts. My understanding is that any contact that you are in lvl range should speak to you, even w/o an introduction (changes that SCoRE made to the code)...

The behavior you described is exactly what I saw when I was testing...Powexec_toggleon works identical to powexec_name if the power is not a toggle power...Seems right, given that toggleon is designed to ensure a power is turned on, and that's what powexec_name does for a non-toggle power. You still cannot activate 2 powers, regardless of type with a single macro or keystroke...You can link them together in a bind, but the bind will still only execute one a time. Back to the OP, they can do /bind [key] "powexec_toggleon Radiation Infection$$powexec_toggleon Enervating Field$$powexec_toggleon Choking Cloud" and then, as long as the user presses whatever [key] was bound 3 times, all 3 toggles will turn on... /bind [different key] "powexec_toggleoff Radiation Infection$$powexec_toggleoff Enervating Field$$powexec_toggleoff Choking Cloud" will turn everything off. Thanks Adeon for helping me and the OP figure this out. +1 Inf speczero, sorry, I missed the key part in the post that you highlight. Thanks again!

I have a FF defender, not a MM, but I used the same thing you posted "powexectoggleon Deflection Shield$$powexectoggleon Insulation Shield", but it only bubbles one of those at a time, it does not do both (at least for me)...I'm also wondering if maybe you are just holding the key down long enough that it counts as 2 presses... Can you test and see if it works as well on a teammate as a pet? Thanks again...

So, like using the phasing tech to separate players between PvE and PvP within the zone? I can't say for sure that it's doable, but it sounds like it might be. Probably want to set it with a contact in the "home base" areas of the zone so it's not as abusable. It seems like that would be a.) Confusing for PvP'ers (why can't I attack that guy?), and b.) Open for abuse...Attack someone, run back to base and then get flagged safe...or get flagged safe, taunt someone, and run back and turn off the flag and go attack the guy... Maybe it's the lack of coffee talking but it seems like it would either be abused, or become such a large development project to implement so it can't be abused...

I am so confused...huh?

I mean, no one has bothered to rename the post, but essential it's just a big dogpile of people sharing reasons why they like CoX better than Champions... It's a fun read

Explain please...

Well the nice thing is, that if you can log into the forums you can easily change your game password...just go to: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/account/ No need to remember the old password, just create a new one, or change it to what you remember it was...

I've had good experience and great value with both my TiVo and SiriusXM lifetime subscriptions, so they aren't all bad...

That makes sense Adeon...so it won't save on keystrokes, but it does centralize the different toggles to one key... Thanks!

If you have basic questions, ask them in the General Discussion. Worse comes to worse, someone will redirect you to another board or post... As for builds, all builds have an AT already, so you can just post those in the appropriate forum. Just go to the main page: https://forums.homecomingservers.com, and scroll down to the Archetypes section, and below them are all the different AT's child boards that you can post in...

Good to know...I'll have to play around some more with some of the ones I was trying to do...

IDK, some of the higher ups in the Council/5th Column seem a little cracked in the head (you know Requiem isn't all that well). You know the kind of super villain that says they have a plan to do X or Y, but really just wants to blow stuff up. I've even heard of popular movies having a villain who wants to preserve resources in the universe, but his solution is to wipe out half off everything, which just leaves things status quo, with half the people having half the resources to live on... BTW, I did say that CoH wasn't great writing, so take what I said above as a little tongue in cheek

You make good points...I would riot if every mob from lvl 1 onwards had the ability to create a force field generator...And like you said, it's not any more unlikely than the Quants with the Kheldians... I've never been opposed to this, again for clarity, I'm still just saying...Is it worth the trade off's it would incur?

From my own experience and others, you can't toggleon multiple powers in a single bind...Oddly enough, it seems you can toggle them off...I don't know if this is 100% by design, but regardless, I've never been able to do it...
