    I’m surprised there isn’t a holiday themed GM roaming around the zones. A giant sized turkey would be hilarious to fight and a giant snowman/elf/reindeer or whatever for winter. 

    GM's or Events by month...

    January - We have Baby New Year in the winter event and he is already IS kinda scary
    February - Groundhog Day - A giant Punxsatawney Phil goes on a rampage in Perez Park looking for his shadow
    March - St. Patrick's Day - The Snakes from the Rogue Isles rise up in a concerted revolt.

    April - We have the Trickster

    May - Mother's Day - Mother Nature is back and boy is she pissed
    June - June 30th is Meteor Day - Meteor strikes releasing Shivans by the boatloads. (obscure, but we already have Father Time in the winter event)

    July - The Mad Patriot? or The Ghost of Statesman comes back to tell us we're all fighting wrong and randomly nerfs different powers
    August - August 1 - August 7 is National Clown Week... CLOWNS!!!!
    September - National Chicken Month... CHICKENS!!!

    October - We have Halloween

    November - Thanksgiving - PILGRIMS WITH MUSKETS!!! (We already had Chickens.. Turkeys would just be boring now...)
    December - Winter Event.

    Yeah, I had forgotten about the snowmen.  🤦‍♂️ 
     

    It would be cool to expand on that for the rest of the year tho, valentines GM, st. patty’s day GM, etc...
     

     

    I want a giant lifelike heart bouncing down the streets of Steel Canyon squirting blood on every bounce..

  3. I did a search in the topic and didn't find anything, so excuse me if this has been asked already. I've just created a Widow and when I entered the game, I got a message I could see Operative Kuzmin to follow a specific track. Well, he doesn't come up in my contacts list (tried finding) and if I go talk to him, he won't talk to me.

     

    Was that Arachnos track removed from the game? 

  4. I created a new Sonic/Sonic blaster, on the Beta server, and went to choose the color for my powers. I had the Copy Color Across Powerset enabled. I set the color for my first power and expected it to carry over to every power in the set. It did not. I would click on another power and it was colorless (white). When I opened up the color choices, that's when the colors were copied. I had to open and modify every power to get it to the color of the first power.

    Huh. I confess, I have never come across someone who used BOTH run options on the SAME character before. 

    Fair enough, idea retracted.

    You were TOO nice about that... have you been here long? 🤣 I really liked your idea, but I never thought someone would take both either.

  6. With all the electric characters I've played, and I'll admit it's not a lot, the end reduction doesn't really help unless there's a few electric players on a team.  As a mostly solo player, fire's secondary outranks electric's end drain. 

    YMMV. 

  7. I had been playing CoH since just after it went live in stores. It was a little more than 2 years and I still hadn't gotten a "50." The joke in my SG was that when I hit 50, I wanted a parade and fireworks. We were playing at night of the 4th of July. Capt. Colorblind, my main - an Energy/Fire blaster, hit 50 in a cave mission - while face-planted, no less. As I was cheering and being "grats-ed", I heard the park down the street from my apartment lighting off their 4th Fireworks. So, while I didn't get a parade, I got my fireworks!

    The order seems to be by floating window.  One day, I created three characters within a hour of each other.  All red side, all mutant.  I went to all seven red side zones, and all three got the same brokers.  I created three characters about four hours later.  All mutant, all red side. I went to all seven red side zones (using the same method as before), and all received the same brokers but largely different brokers than the previous group four hours ago.

    Maybe it's by account.. My friend and I created our characters within minutes of each other and entered each zone at the same time and ended up with the same contact in KR, but different contacts in Steel.

    In a similar thread a couple days ago it turns out some people really like having the inside detective for role play reasons.

    I'd be happy if they were interchangeable, so I could go to the outside or inside detective. And if they had cell phones.

    Okay.. we can leave one inside.. if I can always choose the outside one 😉

    I think we should have an undercover detective that we have to meet at the Paragon Dance party... or he's IN a mailbox on the street of Brickstown.

    At least redside, I have noticed which Broker I am assigned depends on how I enter the zone the very first time. 

    It seems to pick the broker closest to that entrance. 

     

    If I enter Cap South for the FIRST time I enter the zone, I get Desdemona the Glint.

    If I enter Cap North for the FIRST time I enter the zone, I get Boris the Russian. 

    Every time.

     

    I suspect there's something similar for all zones.  Whether you enter by Tram or by Base Porter or by Street connection, etc.

     

    If that was the case, everyone entering Port Oaks would get Mickey the Ear instead of that guy who's a zillion miles away from the dang boat. 

     

     

  11. Last night a friend and I teamed and we both had the same detective in KR. This was great as we both got credit for missions. However, in Steel, tonight, we had different detectives. We both didn't get credit towards our detective even when we had the same mission. This means we have to do double the radio missions and the bank mission twice so we could both get to choose the same contact. 

     

    Question 1: Do we really need 2 detective/brokers per zone? 

    Question 2: If so, could we be given the option to pick our detective/broker? 

    Question 3: Also if we have to have 2, could radio/newspaper missions made to give credit to all team members regardless of the detective/broker? 

     

    Side issues, can both detectives be outside the police station AND be given cell phones? 

     

    Thanks.

  12. I've been having something like this happen a lot on my ice/rad stalker. I'm new to stalkers, so I wasn't sure if this was reported.

     

    I am in hidden. The target is not moving and neither am I.  I hit assassin's ice sword and the power waits, fires, and does nothing. It doesn't even register as being used (no recharge on the power icon). I can hit it immediately again and it fires off properly. It does not break hide either.

    Exactly - that's why it'd be a tool on the forums: a tool with access to character data, allowing for generating playerslot.txt files with specific orders.

    I totally mis-read your statement as somebody on the forums needs to make a tool that exports your playerslot.txt, allows you to sort it, and then replaces your playerslot.txt file.

    Hmm...at least when it comes to the easier sort options, I imagine it'd probably be done externally using the playerslot.txt file. Like for example, have the forums give a tool that lets you export a fresh file that contains all your characters on your game account, and choose the order with which you want to display your characters.

     

    Of course, for things like most recently played, that's probably a bit impractical, but plenty of other options could work just fine with it, so long as you're not creating a new character every week or something like that - even then it'd just be a matter of redownloading a fresh playerslot.txt file that included the new character.

    Looking at the playerslot.txt file, the only sort that could be done off it would be alphabetical order by server. The file contains:

    Account, server, character name, slot number.
