  1. Well, of course it would occur to you! You're a filthy game lover. Some of us just like to treat it with affectionate respect. (In case no one gets my brand of humor, I'm making a joke about tribal thinking...)
  2. Instructions unclear. I am now a ski instructor in the mountains of Siberia. Send help plz.
  3. Duh. They form a Task Force. The "negotiations" are really just deciding who's going to tank.
  4. You're welcome, and my condolences for throwing you into the rabbit hole. You know what would rock? A (web) equivalent of the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, but filled with CoH stuff. Major NPC characters at first, but how cool would it be to be able to add our own eventually?
  5. He's still stuck in those dang Underground passageways.
  6. I'm optimistic. I find myself happy that I've gotten to play CoH at all after so many years. I've spent almost literally every day since I discovered it I think in May playing with my wife or soloing up an alt. I love this gift, and while I would be sad beyond words if it all went away, I'm happier to have had it at all. So I feel free to be optimistic. Excited even. (I mean, what makes me sad, at least in a hypothetical sense, is the thought that I never happened to learn about HC and only discovered it just before it someday disappeared.)
  7. While this doesn't contradict your point, I think this because there's less ambiguity when you whiff than when you hit with no damage. I think if you did the latter and some kind of "NO DAMAGE" text floated above your target's head, you'd be just as frustrated as you would be if you were missing. Case in point, I get that same frustrated feeling whenever I attack a MOB in CoH who has some kind of "no hit I" buff up, and I see "UNAFFECTED" float above their heads. I didn't miss, I hit but did nothing. When you hit but do no damage, it's not always clear if you didn't deal at least 1 HP. You know you probably didn't, but it's not shoved in your face. And Goldshire is supposed to be a full town with thousands of people, and it's three buildings in game. My guess is the "real" Azeroth is at least 100 times larger in the cardinal scales and somewhere around 10 times larger vertically. How tall is Blackrock Spire?
  8. I'm just giggling because my brain auto-corrects doublehit to "doubleshit." And I'm like, yeah, you know, some days...
  9. So there's no set X% increase, it's more on a power-by-power basis?
  10. Bought a house. Had a second kid (first was born in 2011). Moved to another state. Rediscovered the fun of tabletop roleplaying games. Started developing a space opera game of my own that's stuck in limbo. Working on a new project now. I'm too ADD to finish any of these, of course... Comp-game-wise, I lived in WoW for a while but it was never home. I play Overwatch with my wife a lot, although I have to only play against AI as I get too competitive when I play against other people. I have a comic book I need to finish writing, too..
  11. I feel like this was mentioned somewhere else but I can't seem to find it. Do MMs suffer an increased End cost for some/most of their powers as compared to other ATs using the same sets?
  12. If time is going to spent on revamping maps, I vote the blue caves get first crack.
  13. You know, before Homecoming, I was fastidious about what random executables I'd just run because someone on a forum tells me to. I guess it's personal growth? Thanks, I'll check it out.
  14. If I want to look up a power's actual stats, Paragon Wiki is lacking. For example, Snap Shot. It tells me what can be enhanced and when different ATs get it, but what about the base damage, or range, or anything like that? Is this what we got right now?
  15. I love the new forums. I miss my giant avatar but I'll live with it.
  16. I kind of like lots of white space. Back in my day, we scrolled and we liked it!
  17. I appreciate that but don't do it just for me. Like some others, mine wasn't made to be seen at this size. It's actually my old one from the live forums. It's probably time for a refresh.
  18. I like it. I'm just sad it put a border around your profile icon when I designed mine with transparency in order to blend into whatever the background is. I guess that's a sign I should update it.
  19. Star Wars was even explicitly made as space opera/space fantasy. Lucas was not vague about this. I forget which publisher said it (maybe Del Ray, maybe Jim Baen), but I read once that "genre is trappings." Meaning, if it has the idioms and vocabulary of a particular genre, it is that genre. That puts SW pretty firmly into the "science fiction" genre even though we all know it's a fairy tale under the hood. Of course most works draw from multiple genres, but you can almost always distill a core genre it "really" belongs to. Star Wars is science fiction. Spaceballs is comedy.
  20. Sadly, CoH2 would have been all F2P/P2W. It would probably have lootboxes. CoH's cancellation was a blessing in hindsight (given its rebirth).
  21. Those donations are all earmarked for hardware and network costs. None of it goes to any individuals.
