I've run it twice over the past couple of weeks - once at the middle and once at the highest level. We actually failed on the highest level run because we couldn't heal the core. Barely slipped out on the middle run.

I bugged it in game, but I hope others do, too. You can see when you use the coolant that it heals for +3311, but the health bar never moves. I kept a Fort on it for the second run, but I don't know if that helped or not.

It has been suggested before (believe I suggested it myself here somewhere), but absolutely would love to have this.

I played for about a year back in 2005 before leaving the game (for various reasons) with the promise to never again pay a monthly fee for a game.

Then Freedom came out.

No big deal. I signed back up, enjoyed playing, and even dropped a little cash here and there. $5 to buy 400pp and open up tells. Another $5 for 400pp more so I could buy 5 character slots on sale. Then, I bought Going Rogue on eBay for $5 delivered, and had VIP access for a month.

And that was the plan. No more money spent on the game. I was good. My annual game budget is about $50, anyway. Couldn't justify more than that for this game.

Some extra cash dropped in my lap this week, and I continued with my decision to not pay a monthly fee for the game.

Instead, I just bought an annual subscription.

Maybe more shocking is the origin of the idea - my wife. She's not a big fan of online games. But, she said that it's obvious I enjoy the game, and insisted I should go VIP for a year.

Well played, COH. Your clever plan worked.

Two crazy, and probably unimplementable, ideas:

1. Clear a zone event - determine a zone (maybe with the WST) and whenever ALL bad guys are defeated in the zone, everyone in the zone at that time gets a badge and/or temp power. Imagine a large group of 50s clearing the streets in Atlas Park.
2. SG Zone - an otherwise empty zone, but SG's can buy sections of it with prestige and build shops, apartments, skyscrapers, etc. The more an SG invests in their section, the more contacts/missions/tfs that open up. Each server, then, would have a unique zone, built by the players.

I agree the Medicine pool is not real helpful. I did take it on one of my Empathy Defenders, just so I could effectively have 2 rezzes. I haven't found that to be terribly useful.

I can't find where this has been suggested before, but it's hard to believe it hasn't. So, pardon me if this is an old suggestion.

I understand how and why the servers are in the order they are in. I flip between 3 servers, and it's a frustration to find the servers in the list when I do.

It would be nice to pin/favorite however many servers you like, or change the sort order to be by date last visited, then server load. Either would allow you to keep your most frequently visited servers at the top of the list, easily accessible.

I'm premium, so I don't have access to all the fancy channels everyone is talking about.

I can usually find a team on Protector, but I also have 2-3 good, global friends who seek me out when I am online. What I struggle with is getting into something *I* would like to do, like a respec trial.

When I can't find a team pretty quickly on Protector, I jump over to Virtue and can get on a team pretty fast.

I'm a returning player, but my previous account got wiped out. I'm premium, and just hit 50 with my first Freedom character (third character overall).

I was reminded in these forums, after I hit 50 and used both my builds, about Enhancement Diversification. Maybe I missed an in-game reminder, or perhaps one doesn't exist. As it is, on my latest 50, I ended up "wasting" 12 enhancement slots. Hopefully I can get in on a respec trial soon.

I'd suggest a gentle reminder as you try to 4 slot something like Stamina (which can only use 1 enhancement type), telling you about ED. You can then click the checkbox to not remind you again, if you like, and go ahead and 4, 5, or 6 slot it, if you so desire.

I LOVE playing an empathy defender, but one of my biggest pet peeves is resurrecting someone who, in between validation and execution, pops an Awaken. Not only is that downed character now very vulnerable for several seconds, I've just wasted a Resurrect and it will be a while before it is recharged. I know several other powers do that, as well (Absorb Pain, for instance). A wasted Resurrect, to me, is different.

I don't know a good solution here, because I don't know what's possible in the game code. I'm not sure if it would overbalance the game to allow the Resurrect to go off instantly, but tie up the defender in an animation for the same amount of time as now, but maybe that is reasonable.
