Also be aware that the AH up and down converts levels on recipes (and enhancements) automatically, so you can sell a level 15 orange recipe and someone else can buy that recipe as a level 50 recipe. This has had some . . . interesting . . . effects on the market. One of which is that you can often get a couple hundred thousand on that level 13 yellow Doctored Wounds recipe, or something. Scientist - seriously forgive my skepticism, but is there documentation or can someone else confirm this behavior? - it would totally change how I approach the AH... Again, forgive my doubt, but it's so counter intuitive to me that I am having a hard time wrapping my brain around it...Old dogs, new tricks ya know!

To quote myself: And even if this were to happen, I doubt we'd see a significant change in the number of people playing villains. We'd end up with a lot of "both sides" content being run by heroes, and the occasional lonely villain allowed to join the team. It still doesn't provide any additional reason to create or play a villain in the first place. Besides that, the more "factionless" content there is, the less relevant a characters's faction becomes. If we're all running the same content anyway, why does it matter whether you're a hero or a villain? I think this is spot Mjolnerd...It's unlikely in the short term we true "new" content, and if we did it would be best spent where most of the characters are (4.5 heroes to every villain). And the sales and usage of CoV has always been much lower than blueside even when the game was live, so I also agree that for a lot of people (myself included) they just don't want to be redside. Even neutral content, will just people in the same ratios as today. I'm in favor of giving a bonus to the redside or goldside to incentive people playing that content so that it's easier to team. It's by far the easiest solution and it's one that can be easily course corrected if everyone decides they are going to jump redside/goldside to get an extra bonus...

I had heard, but haven't yet dared to test it, that the [task] multiple objects simultaneously were all made that you can do them now individually. I know this is true for TF/Trials, but not sure if it's true for regular missions

Regardless, the Dev's have defined it the way I have, so terminology and technicalities aside: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/index.php/topic,2356.msg15570.html#msg15570 for reference... I'm not arguing that there aren't more technical names, but for the lay person, and the community, this is the definition they are working off...

You said Marcus Cole and all I could think of was the character on Babylon 5. I was sure that you meant a different Marcus Cole so I had to look it up. :) Marcus Cole, not /jranger, but a true Ranger...I loved that show...Some of the best storytelling on TV ever, and truly transformed the whole notion of serialized TV beyond Soap Operas...

+1 Inf for the OP - great post - absolutely right on!

It is really hard to find creative bios...I was on Indomitable and I would see maybe one bio out of 30 characters. Switched to Everlasting (unofficial RP server) and no surprise the ratio went to like 1 in 3 characters had a bio... I always create a bio for my characters and I love it when others do as well - it kinda completes the character build - not just what do you look like, and what can you do, but who are you really? Maybe's its a commentary of real life as well, but I'll stop waxing philosophically...

Isn't knockdown generally better? Not saying that there aren't times/conditions where knockback isn't a good thing, goodness knows that energy thrust has saved my energy/energy blaster on occasion, but I think that knockdown would be the preferred choice by far. It would certainly be more welcome in teams or in connection with close combat heroes that would rather not have to chase enemies down after hitting them. So yeah, this would have to be handled extremely carefully. I truly understand the pathos that people have with Knockback..."Hey, we just worked really hard to get these guys in the same place so we can tank or use AoE attacks/holds/debuffs and now you are scattering them, and we have to run around and chase them, and oh damn...my toggles just dropped...sigh" However, as someone who solos/duos a bit - Knockback is a life saver...They are both out of commission for a few seconds AND out of range when they get back up. Definitely been the difference between life and...hospital on a few occasions

I have no opinions on the "Clamp", but I have a strong opinion how to decide what changes to make... In any software framework, there are going to be four basic areas of change 1.) Big Impact on Players (and we are assuming for argument's sake that the impact is good), but requires a lot of work to implement 2.) Big Impact on Players, but requires little work to do 3.) Small to no Impact on Players, but requires a lot of work 4.) Small to no Impact on Players, but requires little work to do You can automatically eliminate any suggestion that falls into #3, and you should only get around #4 if you are really, really bored and have cleaned out the queue of #2 So if it is going to have little impact, in my mind, it's still a non-starter since it would detract from the Dev's working on things that will have a big impact... My 2 cents on how to prioritize change

It's easy - just stop creating new characters.... Wait...stop...that's not right...sorry, my altitis was cured for like 10 seconds, but it's back now... +1 for the suggestion - I really would love to be able to sort by last played...

Details please...

It’s the beauty of the game, is any AT makes for a great team. I’ll let others decide if there is a best combo, but you can’t go wrong with any of the AT’s.

Thanks, but this is not the information I was looking for Dangit! I usually stay out of posting on the builds forums, but I really thought I knew this one. Sorry. :-[

You're forgetting one major part of that formula: Number of users. In either one, if there's only one user, then it's multiboxing. I mean technically, yes you are right. I was assuming one user per computer. I suppose if you have the technology (multiple PC's in easy reach you can multibox with 2 PC's), but that seems like an edge case.

Look at the first bullet point under POWERS https://forums.homecomingservers.com/index.php/topic,3220.0.html

I think you are confusing Pixie Knight (this being her first reply to you) with Cosmic Justice who was sparring with you

Have you already downloaded Tequila? If not follow this guide -> https://forums.homecomingservers.com/index.php/topic,950.0.html I suspect you have though, in which case just close Tequila and restart it and it will automatically download the game

I echo your sentiments about really glad CoX is finally back. As for changing things, well that is the quintessential CoX experience - the team did what 24 major issues, and like 3 minor issues? Change is what CoX is all about. It was never a static things. I understand that change can suck, and for everyone who loves a change, there will be at least 1 person who hates it. But I do hope they keep making changes and letting the game evolve.

Just for clarity 2 accounts/2 computers <> Multiboxing - that's called having multiple users in the same location (gaming time is family time) 2 accounts/1 computer = Multiboxing
