On this topic, is there a way to send the same Tell to another recipient, other than Up-Arrowing, erasing the original name, and typing in the new one?

e.g. I have one spot left to fill on my PuG, I send out some invite Tells, fill my one spot, but am still getting Replies from invitees.

I Tell ExtraPlayer1: Sorry had one spot left, full now

But now I want to Tell ExtraPlayer2 the same thing without typing it again or changing the name manually.

Possible?

Did someone use this in a fan-video as well? I suspect that's why I associate it with CoH but can't remember exactly:

P.O.D. Alive

Everyday is a new day
I’m thankful for every breath I take
I won’t take it for granted
So I learn from my mistakes

...

I feel so alive for the very first time
I can’t deny you
I feel so alive
I feel so alive for the very first time
And I think I can fly

Sunshine upon my face
A new song for me to sing
Tell the world how I feel inside
Even though it might cost me everything
Now that I know this, so beyond, I can’t hold this
I can never turn my back away
Now that I’ve seen you
I can never look away

I feel so alive for the very first time
I can’t deny you
I feel so alive
I feel so alive for the very first time
And I think I can fly

etc...

I applaud your accomplishment,

but feel sad that street-sweeping has become such an unusual practice, that it warrants a thread about it.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking the post - I'm saying isn't it sad that street sweeping has all but disappeared from the game.

Some of my most treasured early memories of this game are from PuG street-sweeping teams, or sweeping on the way to a mission, or whatever.

There's an organic...flow...to street-sweeping that's just not found on those same few, tired old mission maps.

But a birdy tells me G-R will introduce a mechanic that may well bring street-sweeping back into vogue!

Coming from a game where you just *ran* through an open door to transition to another Zone, as a newb I held up my team for like 15 minutes because I couldn't get through the door from Atlas -> Hollows.

Someone finally suggested clicking - I clicked on the door, the sign, etc. still no luck. Turns out you kinda gotta click on the security guard's e-peen to transition.

Welcome to the game and the boards!

Please note that if you say (forum-lurker) Troy Hickman's name 3 times fast, he will appear and disgust us all due to his aversion to pants.

So...don't.

Please.

Don't.

I think what you're seeing in responses here is entirely indicative of what you're gonna find in-game, as well.

i.e. Helpful vet players eager to act all "heroic" with newbs.

Use the global channels mentioned above, or look for me or any of the other posters here in-game (I'm @Cougarific on Freedom). And we'll show you a good time (hopefully) that you'll be able to re-create on your own in no time.


Just keep reminding yourself that this is a MULTI-PLAYER online game, and this PARTICULAR community happens to be the smartest, funniest, most helpful community out there. Use it.

Yes the initial response was whack, but in the real world, over-use of "..." is frowned upon, especially at the end of a sentence, as the mark of someone who either Can't, or Can't be bothered, to complete their own sentences.

In Academia or the Business world, it's hard to take someone who ends every sentence with a "..." very seriously.

Sorry, truth hurts.

But if the OP is still a youngster, better to know this and break yourself of the habit sooner, rather than later.

One suggestion that might make things more fun & interesting;

In your Player Comment, type something like "Trial Account - Blind Invites WELCOME!"

And you may find yourself on teams more often than if you didn't.

Also remember, the additions might not be apparent at first glance if you're way zoomed-out on the map, or haven't "de-fogged" the fog-of-war (through zone exploration).

The enemy-types text is very small and faint against the background, but if you de-fog and zoom in you'll see it.

You should be able to pick out badges 'n such pretty easily though, even in an only-semi-de-fogged zone.

Does sending an insulting Instant Message about your boss, TO YOUR BOSS instead of your colleague count?

Luckily he was away from his desk and I ran into his office and deleted it before he saw it *whew*

Welcome Doce!

...it wasn't me, Psychoti started it.

Somebody give that man a hand!

Maybe I'm just blind, but...

With the GFriends window open I hit "Add",

I type in "@Asparagus" and Enter.

Now I expect to see "Asparagus" in the left-hand column, but don't?

Maybe I just didn't look closely enough.

I don't "get" how my Global Friends list works.

I've only tried to use it properly twice in 5 years, and on both occasions I ended up stymied.

There are two "names" shown, one under Status. I think the Status line shows the name of the current character (if online), but neither one appears to be the Global handle of any of my GFriends.

How do I tell who's who if the Global Handle isn't indicated?

Surprised no one mentioned xx/Shield tanking as a strong damage-dealer.

With Against All Odds running, you gain a damage bonus for every baddie huddled around you.

With enough baddies, your damage can rival that of a scrapper (well, that may be an exaggeration, but you get excellent damage numbers [for a tank]).

Couple that with Shield Charge's "superior" damage and relatively quick recharge, and if you jump into a mob, wait a beat for Against All Odds to take hold, then Shield Charge in place, you can decimate HUGE mobs in seconds. Rinse & repeat.

A little more additional info for ya' - if you open your Map and look for a little tab upper-right: "City" - that will show you all the zones and the train lines that link them (fyi these are slightly out of date - the Green line now stops in Founders Falls).

The "Zone" tab will take you back to the map of the zone you're currently in.
