Welcome to Praetoria.

There are no good guys in Praetoria.

Nobody ever came for the farms and stayed for the stories.

That's just fluff. The description could just as easily have said that you teleport at the enemies. It's a teleportation effect, it should be a teleport power. In fact the same power could be in both pools, just with different special effects.

What kind of question is that? I'm going to answer anyway because I can't tell if you're serious: because we don't need powers that cause damage to allies.

I meant that the Teleport pool could use a real attack power like all the other travel pools have had since the start. The easiest way would be to add damage to Teleport Foe. Damage and possibly a disorient or immobilize effect.

More importantly, why is it not in the Teleport pool?

And why doesn't Teleport Foe cause damage, even if the target isn't teleported?

Surely nobody is mistaking Face 1 for one of the original faces.

What Rigel seems to be talking about is that ALL the faces we have now are somehow darker, more villainous versions of faces we had before CoV was released. I don't see it. CoV had all the original CoH faces, plus a few more that looked more villainous (scarred faces, hostile faces, rotten, that smirking one, maybe some of the supernatural). When players saw that villains for some reason got all these cool new faces but heroes were stuck with the old and much smaller selection, a justified protest was raised, similar to what happened when villains got tons of costume pieces that heroes didn't get. Not just that we would have to pay for CoV to get them, hero characters couldn't even access them in the costume generator, even if we owned CoV.

So what I'm not seeing is what faces were supposed to have been changed from being "heroic" to "villainous". They are the same faces and have been since City of Villains was released, or shortly afterwards.

Something about bean-counting?

I wish I could see what you're talking about.

What an appropriate username.

I don't know if it does, but it shouldn't.

One way of making it work would be to make it possible to defeat any enemy with even the most basic equipment and skill, a baseline efficiency so to speak. Make sure that characters can't go below this baseline. Then even the most pacifistic mechanic can still swing a wrench and smash a zombie's skull, even if it may take ten times as long for him to kill than the min-maxed zombie-slaying space marine.

Doesn't seem to work. I've tried saving my windows settings dozens of times. It remembers everything except my opacity. I always thought that opacity just didn't get saved in those files for some reason.

Until the next time it forgets, for no good reason. Usually when I come back after a crash.

Wow. That's exactly what I was looking for!

Do you have something similar for changing sound settings?

They couldn't pay me enough to make me play them (again).

The latter. @Fearghas became Dr. Aeon.

So what you're saying is that "no", you don't, but you actually do... oh the paradox! My brain hurts now.

Not to claim any huge knowledge about programming or anything but if the ability to change origin would become a much asked for feature, I think one solution would be to create a new actual origin flag in the database, based on the difficult-to-change origin which is currently irretractibly buried in the character data (somehow). Then use the new origin-flag to determine character origin for all purposes, and give us the option to change it in various manners. It might still be too much work to be worth their time considering most people (99% or more) don't care about their origin and won't ever want to change it, but at least it would be a possible solution.

Not to mention that it takes 5 minutes (tops) to finish a farm mission while a good story arc can take up to an hour to complete. So naturally farms will get more plays and ratings. Even if somehow a story arc was able to provide the same rewards as the typical farm they would still take too long to finish. One player could only play 5 story arcs in the same time that they could finish 60 farm missions.

Again it's obvious why story arcs and farms shouldn't compete for the same search engine real estate in the AE.
