Suggestions for Chest Details: 1. Make the left coat pocket chest details an option in lieu of using the center panel ones on clothing other than coats. I'd love to see it as an option on the "spandex" tights, for example. 2. Make the same but offer it on the right chest as an option. 3. Make both chests as options, but also allow asymmetrical setup, like we do gloves. That would allow players to select two visuals to describe their characters, like fire/ice blasters using both fire and snowflake graphics. 4. Also offer these on the upper arm, and like suggestion #3, make it an asymmetrical setup. 5. Offer the arm versions suggested in #4 to work with either the dual chest versions of #4, or the original centered chest detail, or neither. And lastly... 6. Offer a split-look chest detail or a double image detail for a variety of powersets that work together. A couple of hashed-together examples:

That would be Tales of the Isles, would it not? 😉

This is a surprisingly interesting choice. As one who has been both in the past of the city and the present, and has both mystery and a pulse, I could see this. For me, it doesn't hurt that one of the possible voices I associate with him is Jeffrey Wright aka "The Watcher" in the MCU. Yeah, I can't see him as a neutral storyteller. I'm just glad no one has suggested Ms Liberty, yet. I thought that might happen due to her work with the "uninitiated" as I previously put it in the OP. I personally find her too polarized in viewpoint to handle the task. I'd not considered one of the "faceless" masses from the city when thinking on the question, but this and the other such comments have me thinking that might be a great thing, especially if they took turns as narrators. True, and like Dark Watcher, he seems to have a finger on the pulse of all. It's an interesting choice, though I'd imagine he'd be a louder choice than Dark Watcher. I could see that for Red Side stories.

That's just so wrong. Pass me the malt vinegar. That's just Wong, too. There used to be a unisex hair salon in my hometown back in the 1970s called "The Golden Fleece". Considering some of the hairstyles back then, I thought it appropriate. The pet store for Circe. Definitely. I was going to suggest a store with Proteus in the name, since in classical Greek myth, Proteus was found on the sand by the shore, but since there's a notable villain by that name... Maybe Procrustes' Adjustable Beds - "We've got adjustable beds for any size, or we'll make it so!" Pygmalion Art Gallery (or possibly stone cutters)

Let's say the unexpected happens and someone makes an animated series of City of Heroes, an anthology of sorts with the stories of different characters. Like Marvel's animated What If...? series, there'll be a guide/narrator, a friendly personality, someone who is the natural person to introduce the uninitiated and who knows all there is to tell of Paragon City. What character in the lore do you think comes closest to that role, basically the Voice of the City? I've a thought but I'll withhold it to see what others say first.

Perhaps Tolkien then? Sea-Longing: Beach and swimwear, scuba and boat supply If it must be Greek mythology then call it Poseidon's Adventure Also, The Sea-wich: subs, sandwiches, and wraps

It's in the lower shot to the viewer's left. EDIT: "Acropolis" something. The Greek retail culture in my hometown always has something named "Acropolis".

A coworker and fellow gamer told me. He knew I often spoke of CoH fondly. We worked in a hospital IT department, and I'm guessing he step away to have his hearing checked as I definitely tapped my sonic blaster potential with a "NO WAY!"

Sure thing, and be sure to stick to the Homecoming wiki. One of the other ones out there allegedly has integrity issues of the malware kind.

I have to wonder if the announcement this year that mainline Star Wars is beginning to back up lore-wise into the High Republic era (predecessor to anything currently filmed) and even to James Mangold's announced "first Jedi" movie, might have an influence on this game. True, the game story predates even the High Republic Era, but with the addition of the "first Jedi" movie, that creates a set of lore brackets that will make the game increasingly be seen as Extended Universe/Legends material, which there's already enough there to make it so, collected over a decade plus. That combined with the game's age might be a reason to consider putting it to pasture. Personally, I've been amazed at the game's tenacity. I scan YouTube for reactor channels occasionally, and I'm impressed with the steady trickle of reactors just finding the game's promotion animations, which play more like mini movies. There's a clear love for the game, despite some clunky, poorly-aged choices like heavy grinding and really, really long travel sequences. I'm also curious to see if this heralds the creation of a new Star Wars MMO, one that will run concurrent to the official lore, and holds moderns standards for game design.

Just insane levels of customization. I mean look at the forums. Even here you can use an accordion to record your responses.

How far outside are we talking? I've not tested it, but perhaps the invisible boundary is a bit farther than the invisible one. There's also the possibility, as I understand it anyway, that one could make a hit on an NPC under another's Storm Cell and get the bonus damage.

The music here? That's nothing compared to Planet Coaster, my latest alternate game choice. They manage to work their catchy tune into multiple music types and post it everywhere. Everywhere! I awake with this song buzzing in my head these days. It's worse than Mark Twain's Punch Brothers Punch railroad jingle and that was designed to torture.

Thanks for the clarification!

With "foil-enhanced covers"?

Welcome Home! Just to be clear: is this your first time in CoH: Homecoming, and you only played the original game? Or are you returning to Homecoming after a long absence? Assuming this is your first time in the Homecoming version, CoH has not been a static game and there are many changes. Some are obvious, like new powersets. Some are not so obvious, but beneficial. I'll point one of those out: travel. Travel has become much easier than in the Original Game (OG). The Homecoming Development team aided players by creating the Fast Travel "button", a type of accolade that you can drop into one of your powers trays. It acts as a pop-up menu, allowing you to access a variety of travel abilities that would normally take up several spaces in your powers trays. To acquire the Fast Travel, you have to tag all the exploration badge spots in the beginner's zone, Atlas Park. You'll find the subsequent reward Fast Travel under "Accolades" in your powers listings. It is dark green. Simply drag it to a spot on your powers trays, and click it to access the menu. (Actually, I've never investigated it in regards to the red side or gold side, so the experience might be different there. Perhaps someone else reading this can fill us in.) Opening the Fast Travel, you'll find "Long Range TP Zone Check" at the bottom, which, when moused over, highlights other menus. Everytime you find an initial exploration marker in a different zone, it will highlight in these menus, and that zone will unlock for you to fast travel to via a teleportation. Be aware that there is a recharge time. Access to the time zone, Ouroboros is no longer restricted to level 14 and up. Ask in Atlas Park for someone to drop an "O-Portal" to allow you to get in, and get your own power tray access to Ouroboros, which is another way people travel quickly through the game, popping into the O, and exiting to one of several destinations. (Be sure to grab the badge while there. The marker is at the top of the structure.) Other features under the Fast Travel may be grayed out, and will unlock either through something earned, such as Day Job badge rewards, or by acquisition from the P2W vendors. There's one in Atlas Park to the side of the Atlas Statue, by the fountain. Another is in Pocket D. While you're visiting the P2W vendor, you'll likely want to grab everything free from them under the category "Prestige Powers". Some are "either this one or that one" so be sure to read the descriptions. There's some nice fighting powers there to help a novice character. You may also wish to grab the free Prestige Enhancements, which, though not as powerful as the Single Origin enhancements sold at standard vendors, do provide some nice procs up until level 22. Lastly, you'll likely want to look at the Temporary Powers at the P2W vendor. There's many useful things, like jetpacks, that cost the game currency INF, but there's also free experience boosters under Temp Powers/Buffs/Experience Boosters. One hour each, and you can requisition up to eight at a time. Although jetpacks cost something, I like to keep one as an emergency travel spare, just in case my travel powers are ever interrupted.

Sounds like the climactic moment in Captain America: The First Avenger. which How It Should Have Ended picked up on and mercilessly skewered.

I'll have you know I didn't click on the post. I deliberately bypassed it and went into people's posting lists to click on the responses. 😛

Welcome to the home Home @Fire Gambit!

From the description given, that does sound like the ticket.

*Clicks ruby sneakers together* There's no DC hero like The Question, there's no DC hero like The Question, there's no... Eh, I'm between contracts, but I might fork over a few greenbacks to see this. The Flash was my favorite DC hero growing up, and was one of my inspirations for my winning, but brief, high school track days. Miller (controversies aside) never really hit the right note for me as the character, not like John Wesley Ship did, or even Grant Gustin, but hey, it's The Flash. So yes, it is non-essential, but interesting.

I've heard that SWG received a similar treatment to Homecoming. I presume it is from a version before the perversion of the game?

Nicely done. Two sticks up.
