[Homecoming Costume Contest! (January 14th on Torchbearer, Indomitable, & Reunion)!]

Hopefully we will soon get some much needed costume updates for future contests, I'm so ready for some new styles!!! 🙏🏼 See you all there and good luck! 🤗

[New Costume Pieces Request]

It sure would be nice to get a special costume focused patch update. I agree with others above as well as having a few of my own:

 

- Every costume piece can have a pattern

- Equal costume parts for both genders (ex: small padded gloves, among too many others)

- New hair styles for both male/female, also hair effects (inner glow, fire, glitter etc) with intensity slider

- New auras for travel powers

- Weapons: auras, placement options (hip/leg) and stance emotes in and out of combat

- More traveling mounts (big pets, broom, spaceship), ability to customize current flying devices colors/patterns

- Allow us to change the size of our wings, also dragonfly wings would be cool

- Be able to customize pet toggles (name, colors, pattern), Create pet pvp to level them (thought of this as I was typing! lol), Pet emotes (sit, lay down, on guard)

- Better helmets/crowns/masks, material options (leather, metallic, matte etc)

- Be able to have multiple hair choices under caps/hats

- Sister Psyche's roman robe from ITF and Numina's robe both color/pattern customizable for both genders 😍

 

ok I'll leave it there 😅 thanks guys cant wait!

Stealth (the power) gives you complete invisibility with defense (7-10% depending on AT), 3/4 of which suppresses when you click/attack something or are attacked.

Sorry I probably should've clarified, I need the toon animation to be completely invisible just like how it was before concealment changed and how it is in the illusion power set.

[Patch Notes for November 30th, 2021]

Can you guys please remove the snow effect from the costume creator? It is very distracting imo. TY!

Could you elaborate on this some more?

 

Well during the respec process, changes are made to a build that sometimes is already slotted with enhancements, so sometimes after changes enhancements are no longer needed to be slotted. So, I'm requesting there be a simple button for us to return all enhancements back to your inventory (up to its max) so that we're not having to select each one individually one-by-one having to slot them back into our inventory. It, takes, FOREVER. Lastly, as far as transferring goes, sometimes we like to transfer goods from one toon to another and instead of having to email one-by-one, being able to transfer in bulk would also be a very helpful change for many.

At the risk of being labeled both pedantic and archaic, it should be "brethren and sistren" or "brothers and sisters". The former terms were used in Middle English, from the 12th to 15th centuries; 'brothers' began to replace 'brethren' from about 1600 (except for referring to fellow members of a religious community, society, or profession), while 'sistren' had completely fallen out of use by the mid 16th century.

I stand corrected lol

[HALLOWEEN 2021]

Thanks for all of the feedback guys, there's just so much potential for this game, just not sure if costumes is something the higher ups are working on so I thought I'd just blurt out this request and see what happens..

[HALLOWEEN 2021]

P.S. For the love of God can we please get an update on respec'ing and transferring enhancements? The one by one thing is killing me... Oh and we need more outfits, at least the cool flowy ones the contacts have...ok thats it for now. TY! LOVE YOU! ^u^ ❤️

[A Question from The Homecoming Team]

More costume/fashion pieces/materials/faces/hairstyles, I love costume customization!! Also can you guys pleeease make us pets/mounts and also more flying styles? Yes, more flying styles! XD

[An Update from The Homecoming Team]

[Beta download isn't optional]

I keep getting an error about my drivers not being up-to-date ( even though they are ) and I've been told to just ignore the error messages and it should load the game, but I wait and wait,  and still nothing. If anyone could be of any assistance, I'd be grateful. Thanks.
