  1. if you've saved your windows confic "/wdw load" should fix it (from memory)
  2. Fair point. Perhaps it's noticeable because Excelsior is such a successful server and thus almost always busy and active.
  3. Well I was offering an alternative reason for the chat but if you're taking my response so literally perhaps if the fictitious player in question was struggling, maybe they didn't know of the existence of the help channel. Sure, people do enjoy chatting about music, which is fine - I've got a number of music related characters myself, not limited to Earth Wind and Fire and Spandex Ballet - but that's a conversation, not simply spamming chat with the tune their listening to.
  4. if it were a one off, I'd suggest you make a good point but that doesn't seem to be the way it works. I also think that most people would be more game focused in breaking ice: "Hey I'm trying to make this ice/cream toon work but I keep getting melted, any suggestions please?" would be better suited. One of the issues we have in Homecoming is that most people have seen the rabbit, chased the rabbit, shot the rabbit and eaten rabbit pie. Everyone is a veteran except for those who are totally new to the game (who should be nurtured IMO) - so the public chats are kind of "yawn, we've done everything, how shall we communicate now?" /em spits out a few shotgun pellets and a rabbit bone
  5. I guess this is hugely subjective - I've made some toons that are kind of clunky and there are some that simply do not work solo but every combo will work to a greater or lesser degree in a team - of course the caveat is the team make up. But with that preamble out the way, I've never gone after a combo thinking "this is borked" and been pleasantly surprised to the contrary. I always try and have something in mind conceptually at least. I don't play many melee toons but for what it's worth one of my fave toons is my kin melee tank, which to my mind significantly outperforms all (both) the dark tanks I've ever tried. I have little experience so.. go figure?
  6. I'm not certain what you mean by "Pulp" here. Are we talking Conan or Modesty Blaise, or something else entirely?
  7. In Matt Miller's universe Dark Watcher and Lady Grey are allowed to do anything they damned well please and bollocks to the game lore or continuity
  8. To be fair, if I listened to a lot of the shite enjoyed by the player base, the last thing I'd do is advertise it. But that's just me and my elite musical appreciation 😇
  9. if you have thor eyeth you thould thee an optometritht
  10. 110% THIS!
  11. Snarky's playlist... it's just one track on repeat
  12. Anyone up for kicking this off today? I've got some time today so wanted to get stuff under way!
  13. There should definitely be an enemy group called Badgers and they should award... nothing. No matter how many you defeat. But there should be a tally of them all the same.
  14. I love controllers in this game and all other MMOs seem to miss them... I played TSW for a long time after shutdown and most encounters left me wishing I'd got a lockdown to stop zombies or giant mutant moths eating me... I love the variety of effects - ultimately a mez is a mez, a hold is a hold, a stun a stun but each power set seems to have a unique and distinct flavour that I don't feel with blast sets. I also find the controller secondaries complement them well... and mixing and matching can give very different effects and feelings too.
  15. Well shit, I've made over 750 posts... which were the other few you didn't like? 🤔
  16. Do not confuse sarcasm with humour. But I'd hoped to make a point... clearly it didn't work so well but never mind
  17. I don't mind him. I wasn't clear enough in my original post. Sure, he is being super serious but there is a fair point... remember as a community we've been very proud of ourselves for a very long time, and generally we are quite open and progressive and amenable - a friendly place for newbies and vets alike - it's surprisingly rare. We should all strive to maintain that.
  18. For the record, and I'm genuinely sad that people didn't easily spot this, I was being extremely sarcastic and I would have thought it obvious that it was a side-eyed take on the fact that discussions of all kinds are great until they devolve to disagreement - and politics has a great tendency to go that way because as has already been noted, politics are often seen as part of a person's identity, part of makes them what they are. So when challenged it can be... difficult to hear and results in pushback. And to be fair to the devs, moderators and majority of players, they don't come here to discuss stuff that's not relevant to being superheroic and entertained in a game. I should have been more obvious
  19. the only times there are issues around political discussions in any environment, is when people who should know much better fail to agree with my point of view by not acceding to my correctness just to reiterate, this is sarcasm as I'd hoped people would already deduce but it seems not everyone did
  20. Prismatic AEther is a bullshit currency
  21. You have a heart of glass! What? Am I the only one thought this?
  22. Yes I did - it's a fix of sorts but I think that's the best we can hope for for the forseeable
  23. I made a post regarding this some while back - I trried to find the relevant post but my search fu is fail. It seems this isn't likely to be resolved in our lifetimes so we have to think of alternative options.
  24. I don't think I've ever had a cacke while playing this game. I'm certain I would have noticed
