Oklahoman

Honestly had given up on this being a possibility. Great work and many thanks to all involved in making it happen.

Go outside? I joke, I'm getting the same error. Still using Tequila and it's not even wanting to give me a PLAY button now.

You can count on @Snarky to rez a thread.

Rarely, and when I do it is mostly the Heather arc. Sometimes I just have a few minutes available to play, so I like to run through that and see how fast I can do it. I know some who have done it in 8 minutes, but 10 is pretty much my best. Maybe I should get an SSD.

You can also: Move everyone to Hive 2 or Abyss 2 (or Abyss if you are in Hive, Hive if you are in Abyss) and start fresh. Ask a GM to reset the zone. I normally run a Hamikaze style run where we have 3 tanks taunting hami and the left and right side mitos, while everyone else goes straight at Hami. If a run fails, we might back up and add 2 more tanks in to taunt the additional mitos but otherwise run it the same. If that fails, we're looking at the other 3 options. Sometimes we are fortunate enough to have an unnamed GM playing incognito in the league with us who can reset the zone real quick. 🙂 Sometimes, in my experience, you simply don't have the squad you need to do this at that time and it's better to just pack it up. That's a determination I make with the rest of my tanks and incanners. A lot of times the first and second run might be close, but then we fail the third - that's usually one we just walk away from, rather than try to fight through it.

LFG is not for conversations. Broadcast, local, league, team, and tells are plenty for conversation. I don't step foot in General, ever. Icky.

When I click on Forums -> Servers -> Excelsior -> Excelsior Player-Led Event Calendar, I get a not so helpful view that seems to indicate there is only a Hami Raid today, and another on Saturday. I know that's not true. If I then click the "Monthly" button at the top, I get a slightly more helpful monthly view of every frickin' thing going on anywhere on Homecoming. If I then drop down "All Calendars" and select "Excelsior Player Led Events" I finally get the view I hoped to have gotten on step 1 of this journey.

There's already a mechanic in the game to make a door go cold briefly if it's clicked too soon. I wish a door would go cold for several hours after it's been clicked (by anyone) X number of times. That would force the ToT league to move to a new location which would create problems for the leachers who are left behind running into the corner of a hotel that's turned their lights off and are no longer handing out full sized candy bars.

Did someone trip over the power cable on the Rikti mothership again? We really need to bury that cable.

Dynamic Duo - sort of like a limited Mastermind. During character creation you actually create the hero and the sidekick, and they travel together. Some of the powers have animations have the 2 work together: Bonus points for BAP, POW, and THUNK!

No, I'm a suburban soccer mom living in North Dakota. Seriously, I roleplay in the sense that each of my characters have a "voice" in which they speak, and the powers I choose for them are based on their character and not necessarily what's optimal - including inspirations. Oklahoman carries mostly team reds and greens, Vayne Glorious carries only ones that helps himself. Some people really get into roleplaying, such that you have to sort of join in on their little world to even interact with them. I don't enjoy that, and I try not to do that myself, but if that's fun for you and you have a group that enjoys it, good for you.

I remember commenting one time in a LAM that I was so speed boosted that if I tapped W I would end up in a Keyes trial. You can LRT to PD, too. And I wish I could place ole' Null in my base.

OK, so there's not some magical enhancement out there I'm missing that would take a single target from 0% to 300% in one casting. Whew.

I don't worry a whole lot about slotting and min/maxing, but I'm curious how you are slotting fulcrum shift for +300% instantly. May be a dumb questions, I just don't focus on that aspect of the game too much.

Please ensure your global ignore list does not include *.*

Dude is awesome.

I haven't done this in a while, but sometimes I will lead DFB's and pay "bounties" for whoever gets the killshot on Tinder, etc. I align that with the badges, too, so that no bounty is paid out if a cadaver is killed first when fighting Dr. Meinst, for example. It's relatively minor transfer of inf, but I hope it also gets new players used to reading (freakin') chat. Honestly, it's a bit of a bookkeeping nightmare, which is why I wish we had the ability to click a player name and select "Send Mail" and have it pop up with a message formatted to their global. I'd probably do that more often if it was easier. MSRs are pretty easy to lead (they almost run themselves nowadays) and can net a fair amount of XP for players. The other rewards from an MSR maybe aren't so great given the time commitment, though, and I do know some people just sit AFK in the bowl which irritates some. Still, there are plenty of people who enjoy getting the XP from that. My only other suggestion would be exactly what you are doing already. So, keep that up!

So, you did it wrong. Rather than use the search function to see if a topic has already been discussed and then add to that, you're supposed to create a whole new post on the same topic. See: "Level 50 Token" Honestly, I say get rid of Group Fly for a number of reasons, and just have fly also work on pets. Anyone who doesn't have fly and needs it can get a jetpack.

So, you're under the impression people stopped having conversations in LFG until after I posted my last example of people having conversations in LFG? Nothing settled down.

Oh, to be sure, there were plenty of legitimate LFG messages in through there. I just removed those in this case to show the larger conversation. You absolutely could scroll back and sift through LFG to find what's truly recruiting. Or, ignore everyone participating in the discussion. I like how someone came along 5 minutes after everything settled down trying to stir things back up again. The other day I was recruiting for a Hami raid and this person kept sending me tells, despite the LFG message saying NO TELLS. I assumed they were in zone and saying they could not read the messages in request, so I was trying to help them get request active. If you've never formed an MSR or Hami, you may not appreciate how busy the organizer is, so really this was me trying to be extra helpful. What I came to understand is that this person was not in zone and not wanting to do Hami at all, but was rather having trouble reading all the traffic going through LFG, and was asking me to no longer advertise to reduce the number of messages. I imagine it could be frustrating for a new player to sort through all that. And, I don't think it looks very good. There are plenty of places for conversations like that in the game already.

Sigh...

I wondered if anyone had noticed. 🙂 I've been spending the bulk of my gaming time lately on Tears of the Kingdom. I'm doing that thing now where Zelda says I really, really should go defeat the bad guy, but I kinda wanna work on my house more first. I plan to be back on COH again more soon.

Like you, I target Hami before the league heads out. When we get TP'd in, I hit one of my regular attacks which then forces me to face Hami. Thanks for coming out for the early Hamis!

I never require Discord for anything I run, but some league leaders do and probably have a better success rate with some of the tougher badges (I'm looking at you, Triple Threat). I really don't like Discord. Having said that, I scan through several COH related Discords and by and large there's nothing you are missing out on. The most active Discord I am in is for some of the Excelsior league leaders, and we coordinate who's running Hami in the Abyss, and debate whether Margot Robbie is mid.

Cut the crap, Snarky. You steal it on purpose and you know it.
