...since when do heroes work for Longbow? The only references to it in the regular CoH contact missions I can think of are the clash with Vanguard and a brainwashed field trainer in one Indigo's mission.

Since ranged and TAoEs share all the same enhancement properties, I don't see why the two categories couldn't be merged. SCR notwithstanding, it sounds like less work than implementing new IO sets from scratch. Hell, you could do the same with control/buff/debuff sets; it wouldn't be without precedent, since control-enhancing Hami-Os enhance all control effects of the power they're slotted in.

What I find fascinating about these kinds of threads is that among all the shouting how PvP is broken and how things need to go back to way they were, I've yet to find a single argument as to why it's considered broken {other than the obvious, of course}.

First off, points for the self-promotion - without someone drawing attention to it, any given arc will sink among bajillion others and a constant stream of feedback from those intrigued enough to play it is key to improvement.

That said, you seem to be in the wrong forum - there's a specific one for Architect Entertainment, so you're likely to find a more receptive audience there. Also, you might want to form your own troubleshooting teams and see how things go firsthand. You say the arc is difficult to solo - that's also usually a minus, since there's still a large chunk of full and part-time soloers, so you're automatically alienating a part of your audience.

I concur. Both Hami and Muthaship raids rely heavily on the number of participants, so anyone in the zone who is not participating in a raid {usually by doing something unrelated, but perfectly legitimate} is just by their presence making things more difficult for the raid teams. Increasing RWZ's maximum capacity would help significantly with this problem.

Not sure how simple skipping back and forth would be in demoplay, what with the way demos are recorded. Would be nice, though.

Oh, so it's registering a double-click when you actually only click once?

Hmm. Sounds like some sort of accessibility assistance, but I can't find anything relating to it in the Accessibility options.

Quinch: A pair of rocket boots he swiped from a downed super before they hosported. Flight and superspeed, and he has no idea how exactly they work. Like the cat, they always come back whenever he tries to get rid of them, with similar destruction to his other footwear in their wake.

Mender Quinch: Short-range subordination of local medicom nodes.

Quinch Ballistic {Praetorian}: Got a pair of "wings" from Neuron as a "reward" for rescuing IVy. The wings themselves are actually a pair of stabilizers for the back-mounted antigravity unit, but were thrown away due to their power consumption. Also, they're unfixably lime-and-pink, continuing the tradition of embarrassing modes of transportation for the character.

Marty Faversham: Magic bunny, with parrot-like wings. Rocket engineering, it ain't.

Ambient Light: Kheldian. Came bundled.

I'm aware that demoplay is likely so low on the list of priorities that it might as well be on {or under} the opposing hemisphere, but...

Would it be possible to implement the ability to reload the demofile without restarting the client? Having to do so whenever the editor wants to make even the slightest change to the script severely hinders any attempts at making machinima beyond simple recordings.

As for the benefits - the attention from well-made CoH videos is often fairly big, and giving an already creative playerbase additional tools to express that creativity can only increase the exposure to the game itself. There's no guarantee, of course, but it might bear consideration that one of those editors might create something viral, bringing in more interested players. It has all the cost-prospect of a lottery, of course, but if the resource investment is low enough to justify it, why not?

• Kill-alls in layer cake.
• Fascist Day Spa And Casino
• Rescue X hostages in Kings Row outdoor map
• Bullet points are sexy
• Find the named boss in {sunken} Boomtown
• Oranbega with the Portal Room/narrow ramp corridors

Interestingly enough, I rather like the Oranbegan layout in general - the overlapping fields of aggro and narrow passages usually make for some interesting fights. Fir Bolg makes things interesting too - it's fairly easy to solo, too, but that much more challenging as the team grows.

Wait, what's the actual problem? That double-clicks don't register? If that's the case, go to Start->Control Panel->Mouse and check your double-click settings. Maybe it's set really low, making it necessary to click very fast for the double-click to register.

To be fair, I've seen a Lv35 in Praetoria.

Basically, when you hit Lv20, you get the option to move to either the Isles or Paragon. At that point you'll also stop receiving new contacts.

Curiouser and curiouser.

While putzing around with my window layout, I noticed a "LFG" window in the window list. Curious, I pulled it up and got... this.

Anyone know how long this has been here? I'm guessing it doesn't do anything - yet, anyway {first time I pulled it up, a few days ago, the button said "UnableToJoinQueue" or something along those lines}. Initially I thought it was some kind of auto-teaming mechanism, but clicking the "Join Queue" button returns a " No missions found that can be joined by all team members", which is a little... confusing.

What's the deal? Another example of halfassed feature implementation? A work in progress? Devs taunting us? Anyone have an idea?

I've been getting a remarkable number of drops my teams recently - moreso than usual, even. I'm not sure why - most of them leave suddenly and without a comment. Sometimes in the middle of a fight, and half of them vanish without a quit message in the window, but never call back for a reinvite later.

It's an oddity. Thankfully, finding replacements is usually a breeze.

There's no way to get an extra costume slot or a cape in Praetoria - however, once you leave it, talk to Kalinda/Burke or the Atlas Park town rep to get your cape and Serge/Facemaker/Whatsherface for the extra costume slots.

I see it as a subset of a much larger problem - that almost all mission dialogue is leader-centric. Unless you're the team leader, you can't read the clues, debriefings, and so on. Unfortunately, fixing that would probably take an update to the UI, so I doubt it'll ever happen.
