  1. Annoyance #1: I am unable to disable the new pop-up help menu system across all of my alts at the same time, I have to log in each one and manually adjust the setting. Saving my options to file didn't work (I can load that file and have it work, but that's no easier than just changing the setting myself).

    Not good.

    That's a mission map though, not a zone map. Pocket D is a zone, and currently there are no missions that use an instance of that map.

    Zamuel makes an interesting point about the dance club map, though. I forget if it's the same map (and I can't check ParagonWiki because it looks to be down), but Pocket D used to be the Paragon Dance Party (kind of sort of; you could fudge continuity on this, as the game never specifies the relation and the PDP has been retconned AFAIK). Dunno what kind of story you have in mind, but if it specifically involves Pocket D you could invoke some sort of mumbo-jumbo extradimensional chicanery that involves the Paragon Dance Party.

    I would point you to the wiki for more info but that obviously won't do you much good right now.
  3. Do hostages not use the new "highlight last objective" tech from I17? Because if they do (and I'm honestly not sure), your map is almost certainly bugged if the hostage isn't showing up.

    Other obvious solutions: check to make sure that the "last objective" icon (the poorly-drawn white starburst icon) is selected under the map options.
  4. I was using Wipe out Marauder's Cell as a farming mission on my Inv/SS Tanker, and when I checked the mission on Beta the map was filled with Praetorian Clockwork and Seers and they wiped the floor with me. No more farming that mission.

    That was just a single mission, but it was one that I had already accepted, so I dunno.
  5. Tiny tiny teensy tiny nitpick:

    Jurassik. Not that you can be blamed for confusing him with another GM, how often do people actually fight Mr. J?
  6. If you want to load a bind file that will generate macros in your tray upon loading, you need to do this (in your case):

    Create a file called macro.txt and put this in it:
    Code:
    $$macro foo "petsay_name Bob Hello $$ petsay_name Jim Hey there"
    Each line in the file can contain a line like this, put the slash command but replace the / with $$.

    Then in-game type /bindloadfile "C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\macro.txt" (this assumes you have CoH installed to the default directory and that the file is located in that directory), and the macro "foo" will appear in your tray (along with any others you have added).
  7. Is it really that hard to just watch your tray? Presumably you're doing it anyway, unless you just mash keys on your keyboard until an attack fires.

    If players were allowed to have unlimited self-effecting powers on auto, why make them click powers at all? Several can be perma'd very easily, several others are perma out of the box. Might as well just make them toggles and be done with it.

    So, no.

    I don't think STO is canon either.

    Clever.

    Welcome back to the city! Not sure what you've read up on yet, but I think you're gonna like I18/GR (if you get it) next week.
  10. It looks like you just did. Your account has to be active in order to post.
  11. The Borg, although that's really more arrogance and a obsessive desire for efficiency than anything else, and not even entirely misplaced. Still, you'd think after two failed invasions with only a single ship sent each time, they'd learn their lesson and send like 20 cubes next time.
  12. I've always thought the animation for Rage was horribly unfitting, myself. This is supposed to be the moment you fly into a destructive rage, right? So why does it look like you're repressing your emotions for them to explode later? I always thought the "beat your chest" animation of Tough suited Rage a lot better, and vice versa even.

    I was really hoping for a costume power.
    I saw the post 5 minutes after it was made and still couldn't get a code (it didn't help that most of them were EU...).
  14. I have no clue what you're talking about so I'm gonna go ahead and /shrug.
  15. *ducks back in with an asbestos suit*

    I still hate the idea of gating content behind one specific power. Even if it's optional. I really think the best you could hope for is to just up the speed (that way it wouldn't be completely broken) and maybe reduce or completely remove the accuracy debuff, and just leave it as one of those situational powers that most people just never take.

    Now I'm going to leave this thread again before it gets mod-smacked for being a duplicate thread.

  17. Kind of a long road for a short joke.

    Also it's pretty sad that I can't tell an over-the-top intentionally ridiculous idea from an actual suggestion anymore.

    Freedom?

    Freedom without the "do" is freem.

    OR DID I JUST BLOW YOUR MIND???
  19. I mostly run around like an idiot when I'm bored (with Super Speed if the toon has it). If I'm hanging out at the Steel Canyon WW waiting for a bid to be filled or something, I might run around and beat on/blast the various Council/5th Column spawns around (one of my favorite things is using my Nem Staff to knock them over the wall towards the university and seeing how far they go -- Council Ball!).
  20. Apart from TCS's incredibly rude phrasing (seriously -- what is wrong with you?), I have to agree that this is just not a good idea. I don't want to see content like this that can only be passed by one specific power that requires taking two other powers in order to even have access to. I also don't think Group Fly should be removed. Frankly? Not every power can be gold. Leave it as it is. A few people use it for specific utility reasons, or for concept/RP reasons, and that's fine.

    Proc help!

    It should also be noted that this proc has a cooldown period after activation, so you don't necessarily want it to be activating all the time. See the ParagonWiki article for the proc.
  22. Nice to see I'm not alone among crazy unreasonable people. Hi-five, DumpleBerry! >.>^
