That’s false equivalency. MCM

.....lazy..... MCM I seriously think you are not giving George Bedford the credit he deserves... It took real effort to get off the couch, find his shoes, get in the car, go to Walmart (on a Saturday afternoon), put together his contraption, after the nap he took upon returning from Walmart of course. And to cap it all off, he was able to complete this project with 3 beers left over from his case of 24 Molson, he bought for the occasion. XD Finding his shoes was probably ‘Woman, where are my shoes?’ Hopefully the response was ‘in the refuse sack on the front lawn, along with the rest of your crap you lazy entitled jackass. Bagging it up was hard work but nothing compared to the years of emotional labour I’ve been doing for you throughout our marriage!’ MCM

I approve of this polite request and lesson in tidy post formatting MCM

You're kidding right? Nope, I seriously think that bio is lazy cliche sexism. MCM

Ugh what a dated stereotypical misogynist origin story. EDIT: the costume is v nice but that bio is terrible MCM

Is it Ctrl-click Healing Aura? MCM

Ten of my toons are back, including MCM, Soundman, the Psystem and the Accelerated Man. Of course I brought them back :D And I have 3 new alts so far. Also of course. :D MCM

For you, its rough and unrewarding. For me and a lot of other players, CoH is fantastic at encouraging solo play. Scaling difficulty, instanced missions, temp powers like Shivans to give even squishy toons some help with EBs etc. The only way they could possibly improve it is to lower the minimum start requirements for TFs to 1 player. And even without doing that, it’s possible to solo TFs by having a friend on your team but logged out after you start one. And of course the CoH team game is fantastic too. CoH does ‘player choice’ better than any other MMORPG I’ve tried. MCM

And for me, CoH is THE most solo-friendly MMO game I’ve ever played lol. I love to solo or to duo with a friend, and on Live I was able to solo the Sister Psyche TG with my emp/sonic defender and a few shivans whilst chatting with friends in chat. Instances mean we don’t have to hang around in the overworld waiting for mobs to respawn and other players to bugger off, and pretty much any AT can solo even ‘hard’ content if you use inspirations and temp powers effectively. And yes, it’s also awesome for teaming :) I also love that it doesn’t have facing. Urgh I hate bloody facing in MMOs. I love the click target and then click your powers, and your hero turns to face. MCM

I’m not sure I’d say it’s as simple as Blaster=Mage. My kin/rad Defender feels like a mage. So does my SG mate’s Ill/kin controller. My Emp/Sonic Defender is great at healing but he siloed Sister Psyche’s TF with a few Shivans, so ‘Defender = Healer’ doesn’t work either often. CoH’s ‘classes’ are so flexible compared to other MMOs I have tried. It’s a great game. MCM

Yeah, that ‘the answers will dawn on me’ joke is absolutely a classic Dad joke. Terrible and great because it’s terrible. What’s Lusca’s favourite history period? The Spanish Ink-uisituon. Get it? GET IT, SON? The Spanish INK-uisition!!! MCM

I find it a bit ironic that I consider myself a filthy casual, and I also think coH is perfect for filthy casuals like me, but I can happily play it from morning till bedtime with small breaks for food lol MCM

Hmm. This ‘coh’ folder You mention - I have a CoH folder in my c drive but I installed Icon years ago on my e drive and that’s where Homecoming went too. Also this file is an exe file, so I’m not sure what you mean by ‘unzip’. Some tips would help a lot :) EDIT: I found out how to do it. The exe can go anywhere, and when you’re prompted, install it in the Same folder that Tequila shortcut leads to. MCM

Is that all we need to do to get this working in game? MCM

Well we know who to look at if Homecoming gets any C&D notices. MCM

I quite like running around the city though, and I’m also a badge-hound so it’s free money for me. MCM

ZOMBIE MAN!!! So nice to see you on the forums again :) I remember you fondly from Live :) MCM

I just want to comment for other low-level players that I’ve been getting the explo badges in AP, KR and The Hollows on all my alts and using the merits to buy 3 enhancement converters at the merit vendor and then listing them in the AH for 1 Inf, and ending up with 5-6mil at least in total , which is absolutely plenty for a toon of lvl 1-10 to get some great lvl 10 crafted enhancements to slot, and leaves you safely able to buy inspirations etc while you go about your business. I have no idea who’s buying them or what they do with them, but i attest this is currently a really great way to get seed money to start with. So Thank you once again for this Excellent tip. MCM

I’m really sorry about this, but i’m Sure you’ll get some actually useful advice before long. Until then... Back on Live, I did an experiment to see how long it would take me to get a fresh 50 tanker to T4 through PUG Incarnate Trials. It took me seven days, and being a bit of a weirdo for rewriting song lyrics, it inspired this: (With apologies to Rocky Horror fans) In Just Seven Days A Tanker, with just Alpha unlocked Will get egg on his face When kicked to the Hosp… But soon in the BAF With a determined taunt He’ll learn about chokes As he works for his dro-o-ops And if he listens.. And then a sLAM and a Keyes And repeat, as he sees He’ll get threads, iXP He’ll be a strong toon Oh honey! Chorus But the wrong toon He’s un-shifted for MoM And Marked by Maelstrom Can’t do UG without crying Repeatedly dying Such an effort If he only knew of my plan In just seven days I can make you IN-CA-AA-AR-NATE! He’ll craft cantrips and gluons Learn to macro for cut-scene bombs Thinks rewards prove trials Must be hard work Such epic protesting Those trials left me bored When in just seven days Oh, baby I can make you T-FO-O-O-OURED! Reprise But a Lore Pet or a Rebirth A hot Judgement on some warworks Makes me – Ooh – shake Makes me wanna take root in Freedom Pocket D Chorus In just seven days Oh baby I can make you PLUS THREE-EE-EE-EE! I don’t want no dissension Just take me to that Praetorian dimension For all the whistles and bells Chorus In just seven days I can make you OWN THE WE-E-E-ELL!!! Dig it if you can Chorus In just seven days I can make you THE MAN! :) MCM

Oh yeah I see that and think ‘ploo-gable’? What?’ Lol MCM

You can also bind a new key to take a screenshot, if like my keyboard Prtscrn needs a function key pressed as well. MCM

Whenever I double click my Tequila icon to get the launcher up, I exclaim “Tequila!” in that way that people do when they say “Tequila!” I’ve bet my gf that I’m not alone in this 😂 MCM

At least when I faceplant in this game it's because my new tank ran into the middle of some guys who I forgot sap End, then he lost his toggles. I killed myself, and had fun doing it, rather than being one-shotted by some fungi. It wasn’t even a case of me accidentally wandering into the Endgame Content Epic Shroom of Doom area, it was a mob in a lvl 5 mission! My demigod being killed by something out of Super Mario was Working As Intended! Ugh other MMOs are terrible. I played one (it might have been Aion too, Ican’t remeber, I tried so many after CoH) and one mission had me go give some medicine to an elf that was lost in the forest. The the elf was in the overworld, because this game had no instances. When I arrived in the deep dark spider-infested forest to rescue this elf - because his wife had begged me to, telling me nobody else would help and he was surely lost unless I and ONLY I (she really harped on about how I was the chosen one) could go save him - there was a queue of about ten other PCs waiting in line for the Pc at the front of the queue to give him the potion, upon which he would vanish (as the game’s phasing tech showed the player who’d just gave him the option the elf standing up thanking the PC and running off) then waiting for him to respawn so they could do it all over again. It was absolutely ridiculous. I literally had time to have a chat with the player in front of me in the queue while the goddam elf slumped over for 30 seconds, then vanished, for 30 seconds, then slowly respawned and slumped again and again. I was thinking ‘this fucking elf and his wife are onto a good scam here, he’s getting free drugs every 2 minutes all day long’. Instances. That’s another thing that I LOVE CoH for. You don’t see Spiderman sitting on his mobile for The Green Goblin to finish being beaten up by Iron Man before he can have a go too in the comics! But then again, you don’t see Spiderman teabagging a defeated Doc Oc whilst crowing ‘halol noob lrn2play!’ In broadcast either in the comic I guess, which is why RV sometimes seems a bit immersion breaking rofl. MCM

One of the first games I tried after CoH was Aion Online. It was ok, I was thinking, and then one day at about lvl 5 I was soundly defeated...by a mushroom. And not three mushrooms either. One mushroom, it came up to my knee. It just sort of bounced in a cartoony jolly way and spat poison at me and it killed me. In Aion online your character is supposed to be some sort of demigod or something, and a fucking mushroom killed me. I stopped playing shortly after that. CoH ruined me for other games. MCM
