I don't want to commit to a regular Friday or Saturday playtime, especially with summer coming, but I'm usually home Sunday nights, so that would work for me. But I'm also fine with keeping it on Tuesdays.

Hope you have better luck next week, Prem. Your absence last night gave Shannon a taste of power. Hopefully it won't go to her head.

For Christmas last year an in-game friend sent me a coffee mug that says, "I am a Superhero cleverly disguised as an Engineer." It is my daily reminder of CoH. If only we had an Engineer day job.

See you then.

Can't you set permissions so that she can't spend prestige? I didn't know anyone in an SG could spend the SG's prestige on whatever they wanted.

I don't know what this person is like, but if she has the permissions and she's a resentful person, there's a chance she could clean out your base and/or spend all your prestige on dumb stuff now that you've scolded her.

Couldn't they just make the Tiki lounge an instanced map and leave the dance club a... non-instanced map?

Noooo! If you get rid of the purse-snatchers, you get rid of the whole reason for one of my favorite villains to exist...

How exactly do you conjure a workbench out of thin air? How exactly does my tights-wearing superhero/villain lug around 153 lbs of silver, gold, iron, steel, platinum, etc. when s/he doesn't have any pockets?

I know there is a day power job for teleporting to WW or the BM, unfortunately if you're in one of the many zones that don't have one, there is no way to TP back to where you were.

Assuming it does only take five seconds to run from the BM/WW to one of the crafting stations in the three zones you mentioned (which I would probably at least double or triple), those five seconds add up when

A) You make the round trip multiple times because you didn't realize that those three Human Blood Samples in your non-existant pocket are used in five of the recipies you wanted to craft.

B) You need another lvl 30 Heal recipe, but you can't remember what they were selling for in WW, or if there were even any for sale.

And if you're not in one of those zones to begin with, then you have to travel to one of those zones.

Not to mention if you're in St. Martial at the magic store and you want to check on what a piece of salvage is selling for at the BM before you sell it at the store for 250/1000/5000 inf.

We have Accolades for portable work benches and portable MA interfaces, why not ones for Wentworths and the Black Market? Seems like this would be pretty easy to implement since we already have Market badges - just combine a bunch of them into a new accolade.

Heroside the Accolade would cause a laptop to appear in front of you allowing you access to a website that would basically be the WW interface. Villainside, you'd be granted a special phone number to call to place an order or offer up an item to sell through your black market contacts.


A couple of issues this could ease/solve:

- Crowd-related lag at the "brick and mortar" WW/BM locations.
- The ability to throw some items into open market slots in the middle of a mission to avoid trying to guess what salvage/recipe/enhancement to delete because you forgot to stop at the consignment shop on your way to the mission.
- The ability to buy some more inspirations in the middle of a particularly hairy TF/SF.
- If you have the portable workbench, the ability to purchase and craft IOs on the fly for yourself or a teammate.
- The time sink involved with running back and forth between even the closest consignment shops and fabrication facilities if you don't yet have the portable work bench.


I would imagine this has been suggested before, and since we don't yet have such a feature, there may be some drawbacks to the idea, but offhand I can't think of any.

Any chance we could get the door to the Tiki Lounge recoded so that it works like the Base Teleporters? In other words, when you pop into Pocket D using the VIP teleport power, you can exit the door through which you entered to return to the zone from which you teleported.

OK, first off, I have to admit to not reading all 11 pages of this thread, so I'm sorry if this question was already asked.

I just made a redside hero today, and I want to RP her as much as a hero as I can, therefore I plan to avoid fighting Longbow and other heroic organizations. My question is, given the way the redside game mechanics work, is it possible to advance in the game without doing mayhem missions? If I just let them time out and fail them all, my brokers will still introduce me to new contacts, right?

If I had War Witch's job and unlimited resources, I would probably end up breaking this game beyond any reasonable hope of repair.

My ongoing and slowly progressing "Projects"

1) Blueside badging (currently at 365).
1a) Get Field Fabricator on Blueside badge toon (currently at 26.34%).

2) Redside badging (currently at 330).
2a) Get Field Fabricator on Redside badge toon (currently at 49.06%).

3) Get an AT of every type to 50 (currently at 2: Scrapper and Dominator).

4) And the one I am least likely to achieve and most likely to get flamed for: Get rid of all the funky punctuation and intentional misspellings in my toons names by managing to get the names I actually wanted for them (current success rate: 0.0%).

Well, that explains it then. Wonder what the reasoning was behind that.

Weird, I just checked and the option exists for my level 50 Dom, but not for my level 5 Dom. Is it maybe level-locked or something?

Did the Devs recently eliminate the ability for players to buy large inspirations from Merit Vendors for 1 Merit each, or am I missing something?

Seems to me I could do this as little as a couple weeks ago, but this morning I tried to and the option wasn't there. I read through the patch notes back to the beginning of March, but I didn't see anything about this.

He's aware.
