Go to the tailor!
i16 introduced power customization. Power sets like Super Reflexes, Invulnerability, and Willpower can have their aura effects turned off entirely.

Oh cool. Off topic, but maybe you know, have they nerfed the MA/SR set in the last year or so? I had my build all planned out (when I played regularly) but I don't know if I have a decent build now. |

That's a question for the scrapper forums, to be honest, but there haven't been any recent changes to MA or SR that I'm aware of.

Be prepared to feel like something's missing for a little bit. It took me a week or so to get used to my MA/SR not having the silly glowie things around him. 
Dec out.

Be very careful to remember to turn all your toggles on. It used to be "I'm not glowing, I need to toggle up." Now you have to look at your buffs/trays to make sure.

Than this should work fine for me. I haven't played regularly since launch, and I haven't played in a year at all, so I am not used to anything right now. I am like a noob with a lvl 38. |

In that case, I seriously suggest rolling a new alt.|

There has been tons upon tons upon craptons of content added since launch! The game is a thousand ways different and a million ways better than it started. The best way to experience it is from level 1.

Now, now, this is alt-friendly central. No reason he can't do both (or was that what you were suggesting?).
Dec out.

I say do all three. Play the 38 on occasion, start a new hero, and start a new villain. |

And maybe a new hero and another new villain.
Then another new hero...

Thanks guys. More than likely I was going to go to Guardian or freedom, which ever has a better player base and start some new toons anyway.

Dechs Kaison piles it on: I say do all three. Play the 38 on occasion, start a new hero, and start a new villain. And maybe a new hero and another new villain. Then another new hero... |
A man after my own heart...
Then go buy ten more slots for that server and do it all over again!
Dec out.

If by better, you mean more, then Freedom would be the choice.|
MT_Head has choices: Thanks guys. More than likely I was going to go to Guardian or freedom, which ever has a better player base and start some new toons anyway.

If by better you mean which you would like better, that may take a bit more investigation.
Dec out.

Well, I want a fun server with friendly people. Victory used to be like that, now its a ghost town. I used to be in your guild a long time ago and we had a lot of fun. |

I didn't even look at your toons! I remember Owl Man!
EDIT: Ooo, AND the Individual...and Effigy Waltz. I love those names!
Dec out.

Yeah, I've been getting so excited about SWTOR that I have an MMO itch. Tried LOTRO but I kept thinking of the things I missed in CoH. So here I am. I just wanna have casual fun on a server with a lot of people. Where are you at now? Still on victory?

Yup, definitely. We've had a few admin changes, but the Legion chugs on. Sadly, a lot of the scheduled activity went down when most of the missions we ran were available in Ouroboros, so it's mostly TFs and weird special events. Like I ran a GM hunt last month that was well attended, and I'm setting up a "Comics through the Ages" AE costume series where you have to wear a costume that represents the Golden Age, the Silver Age, etc. for each one. Things are a little slow now (pre-issue/expansion doldrums and many in the beta), but things should be rolling again once GR drops. Stop on by and say hi, if nothing else!
Dec out.

When is everyone on? I was on last night from 8 - 10 and didn't see any one else at all. |

Oh, and I'm not quite sure what's got a lot of people beyond Freedom and Virtue. Victory tends to be "middle of the pack" most of the time, but I'm not sure what's in third place most of the time (I think it used to be Infinity, but they had a PvP exodus to Freedom, I hear).
Dec out.

Lotta left coasters, so it runs a little later. More on from like 11-2 am. I'm a night shifter so I'm on more during the day. And, like I said, we've got several regulars MIA doing other things right at the moment.

MT_Head wants timing: When is everyone on? I was on last night from 8 - 10 and didn't see any one else at all.

My main is a martial arts scrapper. I like the effects of my reflexive powers, but the auras go against my natural origin in my opinion. I haven't played in quite a while... I remember hearing you could change the color of your auras, but can they just be turned off so they don't make noise or glow? I don't want my natural martial arts character to glow.
