    Thank you guys!

     

    So... um... what's a MSR?

     

    (Why yes, I am the oldest noob on this server, I was there the first months on the official servers)

    And not noob. Newbie perhaps. But if you were there in '04 that's not accurate either. My old definition is a noob (n00b) is someone that doesn't want to learn, but a newbie is just a new player. 🙂

  2. Sorry to see this happen to you Snarky (again). Personally I wouldn't run higher level stuff with a random PUG as several others have noted. Now I don't run any high level stuff since I don't want to risk having something that big get ruined by some moron.

     

    That said, I almost always PUG since I don't have a steady group to play with. I really enjoy PuGging since I like the randomness of it all. Usually pick up teams work just fine, but sometimes you get a group that doesn't work stellar. I find it kinda charming.

  3. I'm just now running through the gold part of the game for the first time since forever. While in transit from one mission to the other, I tried to assist a poor PPD officer harassed by a member of the Destroyers. The Destroyer goon had a red threat box as expected, and the PPD officer had a yellow one. 

     

    I charged the destroyer and promptly defeated him (no AoEs used). I was kind of surprised when the PPD officer attacked me from behind, forcing my hand against him as well. As I'm following the loyalist path I figure this isn't the way it should work, but I'm not really sure on how the yellow threat boxes actually work as in the blue side of the game I only see them on Crey employees, and they deserve a good beating in any circumstance.

     

    Is this a bug? Or (probably more likely) me not knowing how stuff really works?

  4. There's a lot to say about why I love our City, but I think most have already been said. I'd answer a modified question: Why do I still play? Or why did I come back? 

     

    I came back for nostaglia since I from 2012 to 2019 kept searching for the same sense of home and not really finding it in any other game. When I got back to CoH it felt so familiar and welcoming. This time I brought my two boys with me. And since last weekend we all talked their mom into joining us! This is a woman that thinks Minecraft is difficult :). 

     

    It was very cool to play the four of us at once around the same table. 

     

    In the broader view of things I take this as a sign that this game has someting for everyone, and even if you take a break now and then you usually drift back to Paragon City or the Isles or even Praetoria for that matter.

    Yes, provided that something is lost.  There's no way in hell we'd be permitted to change a 10' radius AoE to 16' radius without paying for it in some way, at least in regard to offensive powers.  The radius of every offensive power is an important factor in its balance.  It's a lot easier to squeeze 10 targets into a 32' diameter sphere than into a 20' sphere, and that's one of the ways offensive AoEs are kept from becoming balance concerns.

    Well, I'd take that for granted. Was kinda thinking that a wider AoE would be lowed in damage and maybe tohit, higher end cost, stiffer recharge.

  6. Cool!

     

    That's what I thought, but thanks for the confirmation. These changes are just for the player right? Wouldn't think it be ok for some random player to change anything for the entire playerbase.

     

    Is there som old gallery with examples of what the comunity has done with this?

    Check out Dacy’s base building guides in the base forum. There are step by step videos for how to build outside the base rooms which will give you what you’re looking for. 

     

    And check out her youtube series on base building. Even an old Snark would find a video tutorial easy to follow I bet. 🙂

    Snip.. "And no, the salvage racks don't - you can pull entire stacks and *sort* them, where the enhancements are shown as a list that occasionally changes as you pull stuff."

     

    Sorry if I'm dense here... Are you saying the sudden reordering doesn't affect the salvage racks? If that is what you are saying, I think you are misstaken.
