Scarlet Shocker

I disagree. I'd say it's a great server. It's friendly, there's plenty going on and it's pretty easy to get a team, even on red side. I've moved most of my important toons here and I'm having a lot of fun speaking personally and I enjoy teaming most of all.

It was a power issue. Now solved, thanks lemming, you hit the nail on the proverbial!

oops this is on live, on Indom... I think I've posted in the wrong place, so apologies. Please move to appropriate location if necessary. Thanks

I have a base, and it has mediporters but when I've been defeated it won't let me TP to my base, insisting I TP to hospital. Am I missing something in my base construction? I've never encountered that before. Is it a bug that somehow the game fails to detect I've got a functioning base to revive me at?

Both are outstanding though I think Dark/Poison is the dog's bollocks as I've mentioned elsewhere

That explains why @Snarky is broke then! 🤣

I'm just working with what the flea provides

so max diffuclty goes to +5? makes sense to me 1-5 does make more sense than 0-4

might make for an interesting power pool set. Could be doable with the Temp Costume Powers but may need a lot of back end database work to record. Would probably need an element of confuse added to it - so that the enemies didn't attack you (I don't think they can respond just to costumes)

Top marks for sarcasm. But despite your overt facetiousness I think you might be on to something - there is comfort in consistency - that's one of the reasons MacDonalds and other fast food outlets offer the same product ranges across continents; because when you buy your quarter pounder with cheese you know what you're getting. Similarly you buy Superman or Spider-Man comics, you should know what you're getting. To a large extent you do and that's one reason why new universes and imprints were created to explore other stories featuring those characters in a different setting and background. Hence, for example the Ultimate universe and Marvel Knights. There's space to cater for all tastes and that's a good thing.

best piece of advice I can give you is don't be a gooner

I hate the noise it makes. Does that count?

I miss the days when we could confuse Vazhilok bombers who destroyed their colleagues 🙂 Fun times.

Flaming Carrot

/jranger for extreme stupidity. "Yeah we got our game back let's fuck it up for the community now!"

I would much prefer a backpack in the Incarnate style referencing the internal workings of an horological masterpiece. (I daren't say "clockwork" because that would muddy the waters somewhat) - but think of something akin to Dave Gibbons' art in Watchmen that hovers at your back and maybe an aura that references time somehow

Superheroes don't need saving. Superheroes do the saving. At least, that's the general idea. They are an idea as old as humanity, from Gilgamesh, Heracles, Perseus, Sigfried et al. Incredible beings with extraordinary abilities, defeating even more horrific monstrous foes, often with a moral at the end of the tale. And truly there's nothing wrong with the Superhero genre as it stands in pop culture. It's just that the MCU raised the bar so high it couldn't manage the expectations it set itself. We had 20 movies creating this awesome super-team that was set to save the world and they shit the bed when they delivered Endgame, and clearly have lost the sense of direction they had when they brought us Avengers and Age of Ultron & GotG. Warner bros haven't come close with their DC offerings and even the X Franchise got worn out and delivered its death knell with Dark Phoenix. It's not that Superheroes are bad - they are kind of niche - and Marvel got the world and his dog wanting to see the denouement of the Avengers arc which was disappointing in the extreme and they've failed to follow it up with anything meaningful. There'll likely be a pause and we'll get some junk farmed out to us, and then some bright spark will have an idea, get the budget to bring their dream to life and suddenly everyone will be saying "Yay, superheroes! Aren't they brilliant?" It's not the superhero problem it's just long running franchise fatigue syndrome. It happens a lot. Take Star Wars, take James Bond, take any story produced over many years and they have highs and lows. City of Heroes will simply be the candle in the window letting the folks out there know there's always a bright flame for those who want to find it.

Clownclone?

Yeah, uLevel is typically British! 🤣

I prefer to use the French version "Le Velling"

you can get five very easy merits if you go to Echo: Galaxy City and do the badges there - the Plaques also feature in the Atlas Medallion award so it's well worth doing!

If you think Vampires struggle with fire, try MM Bots! 🔥

It's Cryptic's home brewed engine, and was developed for this game before those kind of things existed. So yeah, it's kind of where we're at. The only way to get a new engine is to redevelop from the ground up and that ain't gonna happen (nor should it IMO) Now if we're talking CoH2...

If we were going to get a new power set I'd like something like a sword and rifle - a "dragoon" set maybe. Start at range and close the distance to finish.

Many would love Clowns, but a significant portion of the fan base would hate that and those people matter too. I don't think it's ever going to happen and that's ok in my book.
