Who still has theirs?

You understand our moderate anxiety about this whole thing, right? Despite the name Homecoming, there's this fear that one cannot, in the end, go home again. My wife and I met in CoH. I just let my 7-year-old daughter make a hero and run around in Atlas. Games aren't just entertainment -- they're bridges that bring people together. You have a precious thing here. For myself, I can't thank you enough for restoring this bridge.

Oh, I agree. I'm not anti-travel-power. I've used all of them. I'm just trying to work out how to apply one "out of concept" so to speak. Really, I'm lamenting that vehicle travel powers never got implemented, but I understand the limits there.

IIRC back in the day, heroes and villains could team up for specific things like the Christmas/Holiday missions. What other options are there for teaming or shared missions? I'm not talking about hero or villain ATs -- I know I can create a "villain" AT like a Mastermind and then play as a hero. I mean my wife made an actual Rogue Isles villain and I have an actual Paragon City hero. Is there any way we can team up beyond just doing it in Pocket D?

Is it madness? I just can't think of one that fits the concept of my gunslinger Thugs/Traps MM. Ideally he'd have a horse, or at most a motorcycle...

Vehicle travel power pool, please!

I reacted badly to ED at the time, largely because I was running a SR Scrapper and I had six-slotted defense. I got over it. I'm running a clone of that SR Scrapper now and he's fine.

You and me both. I even posted lyrics about it to the tune of American Pie ("The Day the Enhancements Died" -- I wish I had that around somewhere still). I've since come to welcome our ED Overlords.

Thanks for making all this happen. I didn't exactly meet my (future) wife in CoH as I had chatted with her a bit online before, but we "dated" for years in the game. We lived on opposite sides of the country. We're now married with two kids, one of which will be old enough to play MMOs in a couple of years. We can't describe how great it feels to just run around in the game.

I could have sworn we could somehow display cooldowns in macros back in the original game. I used to give my MA Scrapper a "target nearest enemy" macro for every attack, and I don't think I was stuck not knowing their cooldowns. I wish I had those old macros...
