  1. This is a problem I have noticed with other costume items as well over the years.  I tend to resolve it by changing it to what I want, exit out (not save) go back in.  Otherwise it will want to add that mask/chest detail/shoulder whatever to all 6 costumes.  Weapons and particularly guns seem to be a big issue.  I am glad you are adding it Curve

    I do not understand the "quieter experience" part.  Outside of optional raids/events, avoiding pocket d and not spending more-than-needed time in Atlas you uncommonly ever run into someone else.  My recent villain probably ran into 50~ others while leveling up to 50.

     

    As for the "toxic" thing id probably just dismiss it due to how broad the accusations are.  people spamming to sit?  people rushing task forces? people charging for farms?  and what is the "lfg crowd"?  someone not taking in said complainants level 35 alt to a 50+4 itf?  too much shipraid recruitment spam?  LFG chat before General chat released?  Because if said person stopped playing over those things they probably did not really like CoH.  Also since the friend of a friend did not specify what server it would be even harder to pin down what they didnt like.

     

    And to answer your question, all MMOs from live servers to private servers being on a smaller pop server was never attractive because of limited access to dungeons, instances and whatever other group content is there.  If Excel ever does start to shrink and there is zero hope for server merges that will be a legitimate fear.

    I am not sure I understand why we would want to force people that solo or play with just a couple of friends onto a server with higher population.  It will not change the way they prefer to play, more likely they will quit.  If they aren't people that prefer to play in a quieter setting wouldn't they have already used the free transfers?  The game has been here for quite some time now

    You'll probably want to re-validate your files. I'm not able to reproduce this and everything you've describe loads fine in both character creation and in game.

    This always happens to me in SG mode and I wonder what happened to my costume

     

    Check that you are not in Supergroup costume mode?

    I have that a lot. I was in a MK a couple of days ago and we were having fun and being silly and chatting. It's hard sometimes as you are trying to keep up with the rest of the team and contribute so chatting tends to be limited

    I found MMOs much less chatty since the proliferation of voice (discord etc).  It isn't really matter even if they are on audio as when people get used to it they get out of the typechat habit

    There's also a big that occurs regularly where BU and AS on a stalker will not play the animation, but the power fires. It happens regularly on MA stalkers and I have had it happen on Katana stalker. Hit BU, fire Assy strike... Stand there and no animation then power fires.

     

    Maybe related?

    Energy Melee AOE often doesn't launch animation

  6. Since yesterday a mace "Lava" goes completely transparent when I use stealth (the transparent FX not the invisible FX)

     

    However I switched the mace to stone and no issues

     

    Character is Scrapper with mace/Shield and female

     

    it is interesting.  when she turns off stealth it magically reappears.  also interesting magically the mace is invisible but swinging.  Odd looking punches lol

  7. I have found my testing to be a bit flawed.  I was trying to reproduce it while not actually fighting. In this case it is horrible

    It still can make a slight odd twitch when actually in combat for some ATs but is not game breaking.  I would say slightly annoying but mostly happens if you are hitting a few buttons after the recipient has already been defeated.

     

    so imo, something that should be fixed but not as high a priority as it is not game breaking.  more of a slight twitch in the characters appearance.  like a little tick

     

    it should be said I am a button masher so my experience may not be what most see 

  8. for some reason I never thought of this.  I have over 500 characters each with 6 unique costumes.....they all sit in my "closet".  I do rotate and play these everyday and it takes 3 months before a character gets played in my rotation.

     

    today I thought of making an AE to get them out of my "closet".  go in stealthed to see them.  not really for anyone other than me and my wife.

    I have....3000+ unique non-copywrite costumes

    Anyone know the limits to how many I can get in one mission arc?

    Really wish there was a no fade option on this.  I am a vampire.  I know mortals cannot see me.  I am not a ghost.  I am not translucent

    I understand.  I used to hate being in stealth.  however this option is not that bad...not even as bad as fog 

     

    just wish it worked when OTHER people used their powers n you (looking at you Shadow Fall in an obnoxious green)

  10. There always seems to be some confusion since this pool was changed.  I think it is because they changed the names and the position in the pool.  The old invisibility (can't remember what it was called) is now called Stealth.  It is the 1st slot and not the 3rd like it used to be.  You can stand right next to enemies and they don't see you.  Infiltration is a travel power with a stealthy component but is not really "Invisibility".  

     

    You can find this in the patch notes at the time but I am too lazy to go find it.

     

    also someone mentioned how you turn transparent and it hides your costume etc.  while this is true with a lot of stealthy powers, Stealth itself has an option in the costume creator to NOT make you appear invisible.  You look just a little faded

    In a bit of a pedantic attempt to improve the grammar on the forums, 'reign' refers to government -- 'the reign of King Charles'. When referring to something being drawn in or controlled, it's 'reined in', from the reins used to control riding animals. English homonyms may be confusing, but there are ways to regularise them.

    There their they're srmalloy, your going to be okay.

  12. I love the Seismic set, but Upthrust animation fills up the whole screen for everyone when you use it.  I have had people leave in the middle of a TF over this.  I know meteor is big but doesn't last long and you can't use it that often.

    Anyone else bugged by this?   I would love it if it could be smaller.  I have respeced out of it

    I don't understand this. The number of slots available didn't change. If anything, by picking a power that needs slots earlier you'll also be able to give it slots at a lower level than before.

     

    I'm not an expert and maybe haven't thought thru this enough but as someone that lvls via Accolade TFs (TFC, Atlas, etc) you play with a lot of lvl 50s that are exemped down.  It is common to have a fully tricked out 50 in your group and dominating compared to the lower levels on the team.  Would availability of these powers earlier help or hurt that balance?

     

    basically, is it power creep for lvl 50s?  or just for lower levels?   if it is power creep for lower levels (thinking 1-35) I don't know if that is a huge problem for what I do.  or is it and I am missing it

    /screenshotui 1

    PrtScrn

    Alt+Tab to an open file explorer window.

    Navigate to the game directory, Homecoming/Screenshots.

    Snipping Tool....it is standard in Windows and lets you take pic of only the parts you want to see.  also easily mark up very quickly.  I open enhance window, snip it, circle what I want to change or write a "D" on an endurance reduction modification so when I am in the /ah or the vendor I can easily see what I was thinking I wanted to replace.  if I am lvling and melee I often pick "Air Superiorty" to give me thta extra power and then when I hit 20ish I have enough I can drop it.  snip a pic of my enhancement window, scratch thru the powers I want rid of, write what I want it to be replaced with, etc

     

    And I don't have to save the file.  once I am done whiteboarding this I can close without saving this visual note

     

    oh works best with multiple monitors 🙂
