A Praetorian version of Primal Earth characters should be vastly different, but eerily similar.

That's pretty much it!

For example, my brother has a Kinetics/Electric Defender. His mutant abilities gave him Kinetics, but he got the Electric powers from the secret organization he joined. I made a Praetorian version of him, a Kinetics/Electric Brute. Powers have the same origin, for the same reason...but a vastly different character.

Judging from the broadcast chat, I've noticed a ton of returning players. I haven't been checking Vet badges, though, so I can't give an accurate word on new players.

For what it's worth, I'm on Liberty.

Well, you're not giving much to go on, but did make sure your Caps Lock is off?

Did you make sure your login name is yours? It may have a different login saved if multiple people use CoH on the same computer.

...and just to top this off with some good advice, make sure you don't give your login or password to anyone!

Let me try this edit. Ahem...

"PROOF why I'm glad I'm on a less populous server"

That is all.

Edit: Beat to the punch. Serves me right to make sure the link worked!

I love the current animations, but I was the first to suggest alternates in Castles thread. My main reason was to be somewhat diplomatic, as it seems like a worthy cause and figured I could phrase the suggestion without necessarily getting upset.

There's so many things that are easily role-played around, and I personally don't see any issue with a cowboy type superhero shooting the way depicted with Dual Guns. Peacemoon's particular concept problem is the only reason I see this argument having any real merit, but that's merit nonetheless. Just to be my own devil's advocate, I will say there are other causes perhaps more worthy of the animators' time. I want to see Power Pool customization first, but Castle didn't state that as part of their plan (likely because it falls in more hands than the animation department). Even so, I couldn't help but suggest an alternate for Jump Kick.

I think those fighting for ultra-realistic shooting are ignoring the fact that using two pistols in an ultra-realistic setting (real life) is completely impractical and dangerous.

I'm going to assume Power Pools are out, but Jump Kick looks outright crazy on non spider-hero guys.

Considering how split the community is on Dual Pistols... the set needs options for less "Gun-Fu", and more "realistic" shooting. I'm sure that will be one heck of a challenge to make interesting normal animations with the same animation time.

I think you may have hit the nail on the head without realizing it. Proliferation would require quite a bit of tweaks to make other sets work as Blaster secondaries, and that's time that may be hard to justify.

Personally, I'm very ready for more secondaries for Blasters. There's a pretty good selection of primaries now, so I think the secondaries are prime for a boost.

Perhaps just give Stalkers "Containment"?

I know that will have little effect on solo play, but we're trying to boost their appeal to teams, right?

...stores didn't have map markers. You had to remember where to go.

Of all the QoL improvements, this ranks second only to Super Side-kicking in my book

Upgraded Textures Booster!

They can update all the old faces, costume bits, and some world textures that desparately need updating, and all those that prefer the older versions can save $10.

Oh, and if you prefer to have a mix of old and new, the costume creator can have a "V2" appended to the name or something (Like "Face 2 V2").

Seems win-win to me. Also, I like suggestions popping up on server forums, even if a bit out of place. It gives me a better idea of what type of people I'm playing with!

I'm one of the 14 people who have it, and I love it. It's not terribly useful, but it sure is fun.

Tell you what, I'll gladly give it up if you give up one of your favorite "fun" powers. Deal?

While we're reliving the glory days, let's also do the following:

• Remove inherent abilities
• Remove EAT's
• Remove IO's
• Make Tanker's taunt work on only one target
• Remove Capes and Auras
• Remove Rogue Isles
• Remove server queueing
• Get Jack Emmert to rejoin as lead designer

I'm all for fun suggestions, but I think this one is a little off-base. All joking aside, it seems like a lot of work to temporarily remove all the fixes they've made just for a lark.

Yes, they will work properly. In the off chance that they do not, there's a very handy Costume Fix button that will remove the offending piece(s).

For instance, you have a costume saved with an aura, and try to load it on a lvl 1 character, you would need to use the fix.
