  1. My wish list for a real, live, legal server (in order of importance to me): Keep the progress I've made on my current characters Finish the things that got interrupted at shut down (Kallisti Wharf, Incarnates Track, story lines left hanging) Balance pass on powersets that under/over perform New content, power sets, AT's (content could potentially be crowdsourced via the "cannon" AE arcs--turn the best arcs into official missions) Quality of life improvements in the UI and social aspects of the game Regular bug fixes and a dev team responsive to user input (y'all are already great about this, so just keep it up) Ability to pay for conveniences, through microtransactions or subscription.
  2. "Player X has logged on" announcements: The MMO I played before COH came back had an announcements channel for the various social groups, so that you would know when a friend or a guild member had logged on without having to keep constant watch on the guild or friends windows. I kind of miss that here in COH. A lot of times, I'll have the supergroup and global friends windows closed down and don't realize there are members that have logged on until it's too late to matter. Code these "login announcements" as a separate channel and people who don't want to see them can just remove them from their chat window. Audible tone for more than just /tell messages: It would be nice if the supergroup, coalition and friends channels had an audible ping, similar to /t messages. Because the color of supergroup chat is so similar to LFG, pet and NPC chat, those messages frequently scroll up and away without me noticing them. I tried putting them in their own window, but if I'm in a team and concentrating on combat rather than chat, it can be a while before I notice that someone has posted. It would probably also be a good idea to make that audible ping optional, so that if the chat was super active, they could disable the audio at will. Option to display time stamps on chat messages: If this option exists, I sure don't know how to find it. It's kind of annoying to be afk for a while and have no idea how long ago someone posted an opening for a team in LFG or how long I've been accidentally ignoring someone who said "Hi" in supergroup chat. Ability to see which coalition members are online: Again, if this option exists, I don't know how to access it. Right now, the only way I can tell any of our coalition members are online is if I've global friended them, and if I've done that, what's the point of entering into coalition. . . Option to change chat channel colors and save those preferences: Some of the colors are so similar that they are virtually impossible to tell apart, especially if chat is scrolling quickly. Local and League chat. LFG and Supergroup. Right now I have to keep them in separate windows so I don't get confused, which means I end up spending a lot of time customizing my chat tabs for each alt. If we could customize the chat channel colors and save those preferences to the preferences file, that would be a nice quality of life improvement IMO. If any of this stuff already exists, feel free to educate me on how to achieve it. I'm sure there are a crapload of slash commands out there that I'm not aware of.
  3. With so many people zooming through levels doing radio mission farming and back to back task forces, I thought it might be useful to remind folks of some contacts and story arcs that they won't want to miss. If you've outleveled these contacts, don't panic--you can get to these story arcs via Orobouros flashbacks. If you can think of other useful contacts/mission arcs, feel free to post a reply. I'll update the original post as necessary. Pay2Win Vendor (Atlas Park-west of atlas statue)--Has a crap ton of free stuff that you'll want to get you started at low levels (jump packs, prestige sprints, nemesis staff/blackwand, etc.) Talshak the Mystic (The Hollows)--His Heart of the Hollows mission arc is required in order to do the Cavern of Transcendence trial. Holsten Armitage (Brickstown lvl 30-40)--Has a mission that unlocks Ouroboros (thanks, Ishikawa!) Gordon Brower (Croatoa)--Talk to him to begin the Croatoa story arcs that are required for Katie Hannon unlock. You can talk directly to him without an introduction and if you're too high level for his missions, he'll direct you to the next contact up the chain that meets your level. Buck Salinger (Croatoa)--Complete his Crossing Over story arc to unlock Katie Hannon contact/TF. Start with Gordon Brower if Buck won't talk to you yet, or use Orouboros if you've outleveled him. Lars Hansen (Striga Isle)--Complete his Madman's Council story arc to unlock Ernesto Hess TF. He requires an introduction unless you're able to use Orouboros to do his arc. Montague Castellan (Steel Canyon--inside University)--His second arc unlocks Cimerora which is a requirement for Imperious Task Force. Note: Going in the Midnight Mansion in Night Ward zone will give Midnighter badge, which ALSO unlocks Cimerora Admissions Officer Lenk (Steel Canyon-inside University)--After doing his invention enhancement tutorial, you'll have a free crafted enhancement (max lvl 25). Takes about ten minutes to complete if you have done it before and don't actually read all the flavor text. Redside Contacts: Vincent Ross (Sharkhead Isle--redside): a mission during his story arc unlocks Ouroboros (thanks Ishikawa!)
  4. In SWL, you can toggle auto-run and aim at a wall, and that will spoof the server into thinking you're active so that you don't get auto-dc'd for inactivity. I cant' help but wonder if that's what people are doing now, so that they don't lose their place when they have to go out for a few hours. If so, that's really a dick move, since some of us would like to actually play sometime before double xp is over.
  5. I waited in queue for half an hour to play on Excelsior when I was 570/580, and when I got done in the character creator, I got "DB Server" error and bounced back to login screen. Now when I try to get back in, there are 900 people waiting in line, so gonna take nearly an hour. . . with no guarantee that I won't get the exact same error when I try to play. I think I'll go read a book.
  6. A thousand thanks for taking risks and staying strong. I'm counting the hours until I can leave work and get back into the Paragon City I have missed for so long.
