Utility belt is technology, unless you naturally grew a belt.

So, my main issue... Will the AE be wrecked like it was in live, where we cant even use the word Gambit for fear of Marvel getting pissy at us? I know you really want this server to be above board (that honestly seems a bit misplaced of a priority to me, but that's just me) but I'm really hoping that we can be a bit more sane and logical than it was on live.

I guess my mind more quickly goes to "what I don't want to see" because honestly, the HC shards? Are amazing. I don't want to see a return to loot crates (that's what super packs were, and it was gross to hide costume pieces/ATOs behind it) or to merits being effectively useless. That wasn't something aggregious at the time, but let's face it: it's easier to make a build now, and that doesn't make me want to play LESS. It makes it so an alt isn't as stressful to level because hey, I can get them good enhancements without needing to spend years grinding. I don't really see a point in bringing out the batallion. Yeah, I know, it'll mean a bunch of things in game reference an event that never comes... but either A) They stick to the AMA lore, or B) they make new stuff and everyone endlessly whinges over it. Read the AMAs if you want to see more of that. I would love more AE options. Give me each enemy group scaling 1-50, every map, more placable items, etc etc etc. More costume pieces. Customize AE powers! More base items! Don't make player contributions canon. Let us make our own RP canons as we choose to. They were going to sell being a member of the nuclear 90 at one point, and this would have been the *worst*. I don't want anyone's RP lore to superceed anyone else's. Let us just have fun and make our own path. We already have the paid features, prestige powers, vet badges, etc, all available in game. Don't take anything away behind a paywall when so many are willing to support the game, and more will even without more functionality. Allow those with more flexible funds to support everyone else having the most fun we can. Basically, I think the game is in a great place. Fixing weak powersets *cough*energymelee*cough* would be cool, new powersets is nice, new ATs is even nice (even if Guardian seems... poorly thought out to me personally), and even new stories seems fun... but I feel like leaning too much into trying to make it like the game never ended is iffy. If we get more incarnate powers, AE stories become even harder to do a lot with because of more of a power hike. Incarnate leveled AE would be neat! I guess I just care a lot more about the RP scene, and don't want people endlessly obsessed with if HC got the batallion right or wrong. I also think CoX should be a game for its community, as the dedicated community is what always kept it going. It wasn't the most subbed game, but it was adored, and savored. I'm kindof not super pro doing anything cuddling up to the WONDERFUL PEOPLE at NC who shut us down, but if we gotta, I feel like doing as much as possible to keep things as open and welcoming as they are should be key, or why even bother?

Here's to hoping we get some sign of this stuff being ported for us, too! More costume options! 🙂 I'd love to have as much of the NPC looks available as possible--especially for the AE.

Got one in! 🙂 It wasn't much given the cost, but to support this brilliant community-funded gaming endeavor, I had to chip in a month's sub. Now I can joke "you didn't pay my donation" to people. ...I promise, I won't do that to people who aren't my friends. Probably.

That's not how threads work. if someone disagrees they can continue to assert why. If you've made your point and dislike being disagreed with, you may, however, leave the thread.

There's also "it'd be great if some powersets didn't constantly mean "welp, guess playing kin today sucks"

As someone who is always making drinking sounds while holding their cup in front of them unmoving I enjoy being appropriately represented by War Witch.

I would love one slot being good for everything. I really want an energy blast toon that is just kd, not kb, but that means each power needs that slotted... and that's no good 😕

Did you ever play Warframe back in the day...? Because all the Warframe devs ever used to do was remove fun things to play. Can't have the Rescue Rhino running through the entire map as fast as possible for completion, gotta put up lasers, and arc traps, and and and and. The HC devs have done a lot to make the game more fun--like the recent snipe changes. They may just disagree with you on what makes the game more fun, but they aren't going "this intended game behavior is fun, we're going to nerf it into the ground" like say... increasing cooldowns, or slowing travel powers. They are removing an EXPLOIT. it lets you leave pvp at any time. I don't find any other argument compelling, since I feel IOs trivialize most content... but that really can't be allowed.

Here's my two cents on this: 1) There are two powers that can get you to bases, but both have freakishly long cooldowns of over 10 minutes, but 20 minutes instead. 2) You can always ouro>talos>SG, but this adds zoning to ouro, and talos, to get to your SG. 3) Ouro is unlockable at level 1 with any SG that can get to echo galaxy city, but you either pay for the power from P2W or get it via dayjob 4) The channel time is loooooong, which is good for preventing pvp abuses.... 5) Ouro's cooldown is only 5 minutes 6) It's nice to use the command to go from one SG base to another! 😄 So, if we can't 'fix' the SG command to just not work in pvp, and it's going away regardless... With all of this in mind, why not have the powers only take five minutes to recharge? The channel time still would suck loads. You can even make it so it doesn't work in pvp. I honestly don't see why it's such a big deal to be able to port to a base if you've outright earned it. Double the cost if you want, make me buy it over again, but as it is, removing it without improving the game feels to me like a bit of a jerk move, even if I agree with removing the PvP exploits.

Thank you! I'll go and let people know so that this confusion doesn't hit anyone else in the future, but if it could be flagged to be updated in the lfg text, because it's not printed properly there at all unfortunately :)

I haven't had any issue with this on Everlasting, supposing the generator is down, but it is still a war walker giant monster. What level were the DPS? Low level DPS can be sk'd up to 50 to fight a GM, but if they don't have all of their tools, it doesn't really matter.

Had major issues getting this to work. Everyone was in the same location. We tried Ouroboros, and Pocket D. It would merely say: Warning: Player 'toonname' unable to join event It would change who was applicable, but based on info from Paragon Wiki (Minimum level 10, working in coop zones) it should have worked. Please advise :) Other issues it does not seem to be: conflicting alignments, being in an SG or not.

Please consider that this is only useful for how it will perform numerically, not how it will feel. Experimenting with ACTUALLY using it is way more valuable.

So does this mean I'm supposed to lock my 8-year old in his room every time I want to play? Why do people even say this kind of reply? It clearly means "This game is for teens and up. If lower see, or interface with the game, it is at your risk, and it is not our responsibility. Don't let them play. If they see it, it's on you to decide what to do about it, not on us." But having it say that covers them pretty soundly. I still care a lot more about content restrictions, especially as "adult or sensitive topics" can also be used to quiet things such as queer characters in story arcs if they are viewed as "inherently sexual" or controversial. It's not the worst, but I'd like some frank "non legalese" of how the GMs want to handle things.

So I have seen some people have unclickable f-list (sexual fetish/preference summary) addresses in their character bios. A viewer would have to actively copy/paste this text into a web browser to view it. Personally I think this is not adult content in CoH itself, but can we get a clear ruling on if this is allowed? Edit: I don't have any problem with the CoC, just wanted to check on this aspect. Honestly I care more about the answers to this and other similar things than how the LLC is coming along. More specific rules of conduct is cool in a world with Pocket D and Rogue Entertainment.
