If you can't get that not everyone wants to team all the time.

If you can't get that someone wants to not team all the time.

If you can't get that not everyone wants to drop whatever they're doing because you want them to.

If you can't get that there can be things that are more fun than teaming.

If you can't get that there can be things that are more fun than teaming with you.

If you can't get that you're just not that important.

If all of the above is just too hard to understand, then at least understand the request of everyone {save yourself} in this thread and just... please, in the name of all that's good and holy, just...

Again, the goal is to exemplar myself *and* a bunch of other players of a wide variety of levels. Going into Flashback mode prevents me from inviting anyone and will not accept characters below the selected arc's range.

What, no FREEM!!?

Like a paper bag?

{I'll even settle for plastic! And I'll throw in some duct tape for free!}

I can't bring lowbies on flashbacks or trials.

{tries above}

No dice. I jump back to 50 when I exit the AE mission.

Nah, no second account, and since I'm hardly social {at least in any semi-permanent ties sense} so I've got noone on hand I can use reliably.

Mais non, pas encore...

It's not a good idea and will never be a good idea no matter how many times you post it.

I'm thinking about taking some time off chasing missions and relaxing a bit taking lowbies on sewer runs.

Abandoned sewer runs.

This presents the problem of levels. While I have a Lv50 mind/emp who's essentially a defensive powerhouse and well capable of shepherding characters with less tricks up their sleeve, what would be the best way of scaling down to the sewers' level? In theory I could try to track down a Lv38ish character to act as an anchor, but it seems a bit awkward.

Well, given my experience with a mind/emp controller blueside, I'd suggest something up close and personal - mind has a cornucopia of hard controls so she shouldn't have trouble making sure nothing's in the position of hitting back.

Well, as long as I can turn it on and off on the fly. Having a big honking eye-catching cursor on {whatever the method may be} all the time might get annoying fast.

Does /SuppressFX work for transparency?

Yes, but again, CoH's client overrides that. Besides, when fireworks are going off, a small flash around the cursor might not help much.

Maybe a command to really emphasize it? Like a horizontal and vertical line intersecting where the cursor is while the command is active {i.e. key is pressed}?

Underwater volcano moonbases!

Huh. Simple and seemingly effective.

Sure, why not?

My problem with the "game is old and needs a revamp" argument is simple.

How similar is City of Heroes as it is now to as it was at its outset? Way I see it, the game revamps itself a little each issue - usually for the better, too.

Dear {insert name here},

I'm writing to inform you of a problem in our relationship, productive despite the occasional awkwardness that has becoming a serious impediment to our mutual agendas.

I remain completely unconvinced that there you are aware of only one, or at best two situations that require my attention at any given time, and especially of the increasing implausibility of the odds that another crisis erupts only once I have completed my current task. Thus, I believe full disclosure regarding aw-enforcing tasks available as well as agreement to accept responsibility for several of those tasks simultaneously would be would be in both of our interests and could only streamline the process involved.

Furthermore, while I understand that you have a certain stake in my general wellbeing and therefore wouldn't benefit from overstressing me, I must confess to being annoyed at best and infuriatingly insulted at worst at your perception of my mental faculties. I assure you that, with the available advancements of informational sciences on hand, I am more than capable of keeping track of three ongoing crises at any given time, regardless of who has informed me of them. That, in turn, raises an issue of even greater concern to me. I find your unerring ability to inform me when I have, by your assessment, responsibility for all the tasks I can handle to have terrifying implications for any privacy issue you'd care to name. The only way you'd have of being aware of private conversations between me and my other contacts would be either through constant surveillance or constant realtime communication with all of them. If it's the former, then please direct me to a reputable tinfoil hat shop. If it's the latter, then please stop rubbing the fact that you're part of a giant cabal of seemingly innocuous citizenry secretly manipulating the metahuman populace of Paragon City for your own nefarious purposes in my face, or at the very least cut me in on the deal.

Frustratedly,

Quinch

tl;dr version

1. Give us the listing of all currently available missions from the contact simultaneously.
2. Allow for multiple missions to be claimed from the same contact
3. Remove or raise the three-mission limit
4. Give out the contact number either immediately or after the first completed mission

I second the "press button to spawn ambush" idea.

Make it a simulclicky to prevent griefers - maybe four separate clickies, the minimum number of teammates to start the trial.

Unsigned. Way, way unsigned.

Like Memphis Bill said, one of the good things about the CoH's gameplay is the separation of costumes and abilities and I don't want practical concerns messing up my look or vice versa.

Now if those were costume parts...

There are already three serverwide channels - Help, Arena and Architect. Speaking for Virtue, only Help sees regular use - the other two are more or less ghost towns. I already made a suggestion regarding one of those here.

Edit: Ninja... awayyyyy!!

I figured I'd siggy Quinch's lament.
