Crystalline

Oh, it's so hard to choose. I love them all. But I find that when I just want to play for kicks (i.e. I have no goal in mind such as leveling or doing tips), or when I just need to grab a character to help somebody out, or to run with my friends, my go-to is always my main. Which I guess is why she's still my main. She's an Ice/Dark corruptor.

I often find searching the forums with Google to return better results than the built in search feature. A search for "site:boards.cityofheroes.com DM/Regen" brings up a page full of what looks like Scrapper forum posts (although I didn't drill down into them). You can further limit by date so you don't get a bunch of old posts.

Snow Globe, I agree with all your points. The big one for me is "make it shorter." DreadShinobi seems to have some good ideas for doing that. Just getting rid of some of the "filler" fights would help a lot. I particularly agree with Dread's point about the ambushes.

Regarding Desdemona, I so very much wish they would just get rid of her. If they won't, then letting the league leader pick the handler seems like a decent compromise. In another thread, I also suggested giving the person who has "control" (and I use that word loosely) of Desi for 3/4's of the Trial a bit of a larger chance to get a Rare or VR, but now that they're changing the end rewards, that's largely moot. And hurray for that!

Regarding your discussion of the War Walker phase though, I feel like I should insert some defense of the people who are new to the Trial and have no idea what they're supposed to be doing when targetted. That was me, the first time I ran it. Fortunately, I didn't cause a disaster, but I certainly could have had I made a different decision about how to react. I ran away. But it was definitely more of a "this seems like the most likely appropriate reaction" moment than it was an "I know what I'm doing" moment. Having said that, I suppose I agree that visual cues should be more clear, as if they were, somebody might have been able to tell me to get away from the league.

And now I'm running late and have to be off, but thank you for starting this thread and your "How to make Keyes more fun thread."

Opened a ticket with support for this, but I'm wondering if anybody knows what the name of the facial stripe on this character was, or if it has been moved someplace and I'm just not finding it? Currently whenever I try to load her into the costume creator I get an "invalid" warning and I have to manually reset her hair and face, but without her tattoo, which I can no longer find.

I might. I don't know what Super Tailor access means?

EDIT: Ah, I found the info. The ability to change height, gender, etc. that came with the Science pack. You are right, I do have that.

A friend and I both encountered this a couple of nights ago when we were running our female widow and female soldier together. The costume slot unlocked during Brick's arc was indeed set to the generic male model. However, we found that if we attempted to load our saved Arachnos costumes and then check "Attempt to Fix" it did a passable job of fixing. It did not get the face or hair right and of course, could not copy the costume, but it did change the gender to female and set the scales appropriately, so we were able to work with that.

Thanks, as always, for putting in the time and effort to post these notes, Von Krieger.

I would love this.

Click on the player's name and select View Public Profile. Then on their profile page, select User Lists, then Add to Ignore List. There maybe be an easier way, but I have not found it.

EDIT: But Klaw knew the easier way!

I'm pretty used to the game god-moding all over my characters at this point, and I mostly just roll with it. I even cut the devs some slack on it, because I realize that there is no possible way they can possibly account for every individual character concept the playerbase can come up with.

That said, the arc that goes above and beyond anything even I can tolerate in that regard is Dead Man's Deck (Mercedes Sheldon's redside arc). Maybe this one had such a strong effect on me because I first played it before I'd become assimilated. I remember talking to Darrin at a certain point in the arc that I won't give details on (hey, somebody might not have played it yet), and thinking, "Wait? I'm doing what now?" Now that I know what's coming, I will run the arc, but only with a character that would actually do what the arc forces him or her to do. On the upside, that first time through did lead to a good RP scene, as my character and her partner decided to rectify the situation after the fact (even though there's no way to reflect that in the actual game).

There are other arcs that I'd like to see revamped, but that's the one that leaps out at me. Another reason it probably stands out for me is that I just find redside so much more satisfying than blue in general, so I suppose my loves and hates are both stronger, redside. I have very little memory of most of the blueside content, as I've only played it once or twice; I find it all pretty dull. I tend to do tips with my heroes & vigs now that that's an option, or just run them in task forces. So perhaps I'd vote for an overall blueside revamp.
