  1. To best intuit how the coordinates work, it helps to do some hands-on experimentation: [*]Make a macro of the /loc command, so you don't have to keep typing it. [*]Find a flat, quiet area to stand in. Check /loc to get your coordinates. [*]Move directly in one of the four cardinal directions — north, south, east, or west — for several steps and check /loc again. Note which part of the coordinate changed, and in which direction. [*]Move directly perpendicular to your previous movement (e.g., if you moved north previously, now move east) and check /loc once more. Again, note which coordinate changed, and in which direction. [*]Jump (or fly) straight up and hit that /loc macro while in midair. Once more, note which coordinate changed, and in which direction. By understanding how the change/difference in values in the coordinates translate into general directions, you can then adjust your position to line up with the target coordinates, one axis at a time. ("hmm, my x-coord is slightly higher than the x-coord of my target, while my z-coord is way lower than the target's z-coord; that means I need to go east a little bit, then south a whole lot") You might also find this ParagonWiki page useful in visualizing how the coordinates work.
  2. So, one time in CoH I was on a team doing Frostfire. A sidekicked lowbie squishy on the team who was in the mission started yelling at us to stop killstealing. Even after repeated attempts to explain to him that 100% team damage = 100% team rewards, he wouldn't shut up about us killstealing. That's not the douche move, but it's context for what happened later: After completing Frostfire, the team disbanded and I headed to Steel Canyon to hunt some Vahzilok. I'm approaching a small group, with a level 5¹ cadaver and a couple of level 10+ reapers and/or morticians, and guess who comes barreling in to try to preemptively killsteal the mob?. Yup, the lowbie idiot from before, trying to retaliate about the previous "killstealing". Note that, while this was a jerk move, it's not quite douche-level yet. Anyway, the lowbie charges in, and the cadaver is within easy levels for him... but the rest of the mob wasn't. He got curbstomped fast, and didn't even manage to take down the cadaver. I stood back and watched. And before the lowbie 'ported to the hospital, I walked up and demolished the mob with minimal effort. And that was my biggest douche move. ¹: It's been a few years, so I don't perfectly recall the enemy levels, but I'm pretty sure this was located in the alley NE of the PPD station, where you sometimes find a grey-con cadaver and a couple of par-for-zone reapers/morticians as a group.
  3. Just checking the obvious: you did make a game account in addition to a forum account, right?
