Complain about these terrible leeches to you league leader?
Yes , and I'm not the only one. Last night was particularly terrible as there were 2 leagues going and not a single team in those leagues had any present, active lvl 50 leads, meanwhile PI2 was a ghost town. Look, I get it, sometimes you think you're just going to refll your glass of water but the dog needs a quick walk and then spouse wants to talk about something and you finally get back to the tot and you've got the afk bubble, it happens. But this is beyond a little afk, beyond excessive, this is (in some instances) very low level characters being neglected until the last possible moment before auto-log then neglected just as long again, etc until the character hits (I suppose) 50 and then log out. Not one word, not one door knock, just flat out leeching. They know they can depend on lazy team leads (in some instances, I reckon it's a double or triple boxer who is both absent leader and absent leecher, maybe a whole freekin team of them). I don't understand what is fun about that just like I dont understand the one farmer I got to know who's entire CoH playtime was strictly and exclusively leveling up characters in AE. NO missions, ever. No raids, ever. Nothing at all but AE farms. Even with untold billions in collective influence (I guess, do you get inf in AE?), they never even know what AH was for, never went to MSR, never saw any other zones except AP and get to pocket D. The one and only time I convinced them to try out an Incarnate Trial with me, they put themselves on [follow] with auto-targetting and went afk getting themselves banned by Veracor from anymore Veracor run IT. Again, dont get it twisted, I enjoy some pretty pointless activities as well but there's only so many times one can farm Albinurics before one decides to get on with it (Elden Ring ftw). Whatever, I'm old, maybe that's my whole damn problem. Back in my day we played games for the joy of playing them. Last night I dreamed I was trapped in some horrible place, not an afk hero in sight.

Last night, I had a ToT dream. Yes, Ive been ToTing so damn much, I DREAMED about it. It was a very short dream, in it was this ziggurat shaped pyramid castle, it was about 5 stories high I think, filled with rooms. Covered in heroes of all shapes and colors. And every single one of those heroes was AFK. Hotel AFk. My dream turned into a nightmare 😞
That really was a dream I had last night.
I wish the AFKers would just stop. Do they honestly not realize what a drag they are? How by not participating they are actively reducing the amount of rewards that could be gained? Could they not at least move their useless bodies out of the doorways? Anyway, I guess the AFKers are so used to AE farming they reckon this is just the way of it (a pox on what AE has become).
Please, just knock on the damn doors and if you just MUST leech, move away from the freeking DOORS.

Hey good morning! So last night, I had finished up my ToTing for the day and was in the character selection deciding on who I would be leveling next when my game suddenly closed. I had been playing all day long and was pretty bleary so I figured I must have decided to close the program without thinking about it or something. Anyway, just now I decided it was time to get back on that grind but...
All 55 notifications are the same. The only thing I have running on this desktop is tequila and CoH, until I logged in here I was not running a browser. I need a little help please.

Whatever you do, never, ever, EVER play this little game I heard about once called "Elden Ring" because apparently, you do nothing but fight ankles and feet.

I honestly have no idea why this bothers people so much. Just ignore them and go and do your own thing
Ah man, people get twisted over any little thing. I saw the up-coming name thing (you know the one, characters lvl 1-some number have to be logged into at least once a month or lose the name) and there is at least one player absolutely LIVID over the idea that other players might choose to name a character and then not level it up. I mean this person is just RAGING that anyone would do that.
Damn dude, I have 6 full pages of characters that have been siting in THE TUTORIAL for YEARS now, most of whom are specifically there because I thought up some cool name. Some for an amazing costume and at least 5 because of the combo of awesome name + costume. Even without the up-coming name thing, I still log in to all those characters regularly and not level them or progress them but guess what?
I'm still playing with them, I'm still enjoying them and I'm playing the game as I wish, in a way that brings ME joy. I feel sad someone else might be just vomitting with RAGE over this but damn, why care how I play? Also, how could anyone possibly know if any of my names are worthy? I'm not above naming a character Stink Bug or Ugly Kid Joe and doing so amuses me so Im having fun with the game so Im helping keep it alive...but all the while, I know somewhere out there, sombody is PISSED OFF when they think about people like me, habitual character CREATORS who don't particularly NEED to level them up. Sheesh, who cares how you're having fun as long as you're having fun.
(If anyone is now terribly worried that I'm "camping" on your favorite character name, just send me a tell, I'll probably delete the character so that YOU can have fun, I'm really not very fussed)

I re-created a character from Death Stranding in CoH and I re-created one of my CoH characters in Elden Ring. This type of thing can be very fun, amusing, interesting. Blatant rip-offs though, those are just lazy. (Side note, the Death Stranding character turned out PERFECT, my Elden Ring character not so much)

Put everything where you want it and go into options and save windows. Havent had mine move after that
I saved my windows, it still happens (only my inspiration tray) but only on SOME maps, seems like maybe older maps only?

I would be very surprised if that video card was not still on back order. I thought my system was overkill but yours is just going to smoke everything down. Once you get it (I hope in time)

Well, tiny difference in that none of those analogies refer to people that willfully and repeatedly record others without either their knowledge or consent. But I digress.
Just keep in mind, folks that may be streaming the game * will NOT be asking everyone who might be in the camera frame for "permission" to film them but that does NOT mean they are invading anyone's privacy as you might be controlling a character in the background but YOU are NOT in the background. It is not at all the same as someone walking down the street recording random strangers. Anyway, people streaming or recording is not going to impact anyone who is not interested in the streaming stuff (except that it *might* bring a few people back to CoH). This is a very good, healthy change for Homecoming.
*= even old people like me stream games and stuff these days, just check out Shirley Curry if you want to see a REAL old timer playing! Streaming and making videos of hobbies is not just for youngsters. In fact, as a (new) streamer, my whole pitch is built around bringing older gamers BACK into the fun! Im 54 and a LOT of my friends find themselves "empty nesters" and bored with gardening and not ready for bird watching but totally intimidated by "modern gaming" and who can blame them? My "mission" is to reach out to folks around my age and older and show them gaming is still here for us, gaming is for everybody, you dont have to spend thousands of dollars to play, you dont have to play hyper violent games, etc. Don't reject streamers out of hand just because you *think* only young people do it. Streamers come in all ages, races, genders, political persuasions, etc.

Well, I *think* Hami would be sitting there all alone with nothing to do all the live long day if it spawned redside.

I've only seen one user generated channel that actually gets used by people, and it belongs to Freedom Reborn, the group I was with on Live who migrated to City of Heroes from the Freedom Force Community (Superhero RTS game) many moons ago. Any other channel I have joined, and there have been many, don't do much except take up space.
Base builders chat is used a lot

When shut-down was imminent, one of the million screenshots I took was of my UI. As soon as the game came back, one of the first things I did was dig out that screenshot and set everything up just like I liked it. Apparently, I REALLY like buttons.

Was trying out touch of fear, love the damage it deals but the notes say its only supposed to fear 1 target but I have groups of them run away like they are in a rain of fire which sucks for a melee toon especially since it doesnt slow them.
Yes and that is the reason why Touch of Fear always has and always will suck. Pretending like ToF is a super keen awesome consolation prize is just garbage (like Touch of Fear itself, garbage). This is just pointless. Thanks for fucking up my bread and butter, you can keep your caffeine free diet coke.

Is this thread about the nerf to shadow maul or is it about who can talk to who where and who is ignoring who? I ask because I want to talk about the nerf to shadow maul because cutting the cap in half is a nerf. Also, trying to force me to respec into touch of fear is NEVER going to make me take touch of fear. I dont like it, I dont want it, it is not my playstyle and it isnt even relevant to the nerf to shadow maul. I have played Boudicia Dark, a dark/dark scrapper for a total now of 8ish years. She was the first character I ever rolled. I figured out how to work that shadow maul cone and have loved it ever since. It was recently made even better with the widening of the cone. Why the hell did you leave that (comically....stupidly) gigantic cone and yet only let it hit 5 targets. That just....I mean....wtf.

It kinda sucks, but it's still really good.
More than just kinda sucks, more like really, utterly, completely sucks if you choose not to use touch of fear which I will not use. It does NOT FIT my 8 years of play with this character.

I'm using bitdefender and it will not allow me to install this launcher. I even turned off all bitdefender's functions and still, it just wont. I dont understand the whole "white list" thing, dont even know where exactly to find that in the interface. Somehow in the years since shut-down, Ive grown old and ignorant of how to make the computer stuff do the things or not do the things. Anyway, I did see other people struggling with bitdefender, anyone out there able to help an old feeble headed lady with this?

Compared to most of these, mine is a tiny little place...it's a special place though, a magical psychadelic grotto, perfect for certain kinds of RP. Visit us any time and have fun!

OPTIONAL: Up to five screenshots of your base
- Instead of screenshots (why spoil it? It is such a tiny base...) I choose instead to sing to you the song of my people, "Darkstar" by the Grateful Dead:
-
Dark star crashes, pouring its light into ashes
Reason tatters, the forces tear loose from the axis
Searchlight casting for faults in the clouds of delusion
Shall we go, you and I while we can
Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds?Mirror shatters in formless reflections of matter
Glass hand dissolving in ice, petal flowers revolving
Lady in velvet recedes in the nights of good-bye
Shall we go, you and I while we can
Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds?

I reckon a few people might've named their characters Requiem Something or Something Requiem before they had any idea there was a Big Bad in the game named Requiem.

Ive got them where I have not active missions. At all. I mean, one of my lvl 50 characters has nothing going on at all and she has some of those dotted destinations.

HUGE THANK YOU
in General Discussion

That haunted house blew my mind!!!! I've toured some amazing SG bases but that haunted house is just several levels beyond! I was genuinely creeped out and more than once had a real fright (followed immediately with laughter, it was so damn skillful). There was one part where I got so boggled and so stressed out I almost panicked and abandoned my character by shutting the game off but I managed it and Im so glad, I mean it would have been terrible to abandon my main in that horrible goopy room of grossness! Anyway, you all did something incredible and should be very proud of yourselves. Thank you for giving some a sick and twisted gift to the community you obviously love to BITS!!!!!!!!!!!!
