Was really excited to see so many replies... then realized everyone was just confused about terminology. If you are playing a Hero or Villain, you can click "LFG" on your chat window and see several things you can queue for. Under the "Holiday" tab is the Summer Blockbuster Double Feature. If you haven't tried it yet, I recommend it. You can either queue just as yourself and the game will throw 4 of you from the queue into the trial, or you can join with up to 4 teammates. Nice rewards. I think most people will start a character as a Hero ("blue"), and some will start as a Villain ("red"). You do have the option to start in "Going Rogue" ("Gold" or "Yellow" or "Maize" or whatever) where you spend your first part of the game in Praetoria. It's not very populated with other players. I'm asking that, especially given the lower player population in Praetoria, could we perhaps maybe please be allowed to queue for the Holiday trial in LFG. The others would be nice, too, but I'm just asking about this one right now. Hopefully the next 7 comments can, I don't know, maybe get some discussion going on whether this would be something the community would want, now that we all understand what the terms mean.

Is there a way to enable the double feature event for Gold players?

When you're dragging an enhancement over to slot it, it tells you EXACTLY how much it will enhance a power by. So... why would you slot something that would only enhance damage by 1%, for example? Or, did you not notice those numbers before? I understand that, but I also wonder how many players actually look at that. To be honest, I didn't, and I met several in game before the shutdown who didn't either. Completely brand new news to them. Like I say, for a casual gamer I think the thought process is different and the math of the game isn't something they're looking closely at. Just never understood why a simple warning box saying the SO you are about to slot won't work at full capacity, are you sure, etc. was a problem. We've got plenty of warning boxes already in the game, what's one more.

My thing with ED was that nothing happened when you were slotting to warn you away from it. It's reasonable for a casual gamer like myself to assume that 6 damage SOs should give you 6x the benefit of 1 damage SO. If a message popped up when you attempted to slot your 4th, or maybe even 3rd, SO warning you of the diminishing returns, great.

Would it be possible to keep the general LFG channel, but also have one for LFG blue side, LFG red side, and LFG gold side? I understand that at a certain point in a characters lifespan it doesn't matter where the LFG is, so the general channel still is needed. But especially in those early levels you have to wade through A LOT of confusing messages to find a team that works for you. "DFB LFM" - "Sorry, *RED* DFB LFM".

I don't know all the legalities needed to make this happen, but I love the idea of it ultimately being a non-profit endeavor - at least for the Homecoming servers. There will be plenty of servers, I am sure, each with their own rhyme and reason to everything. A monthly donation gains you access to the game, and perhaps occasionally there would be small in-game purchases. Proceeds keep the servers going, pay a skeleton crew... and provide super hero costumes to kids at Children's hospitals across the globe. Just a thought.
