Neco Wafer!

So, today I decided to move one of my characters from Excelsior to Everlasting for a temporary gig I was pretty sure "Super Vixen" was already taken on Everlasting having checked 30 min prior. Series of events: See if backup names were available. They were. Transfer Super Vixen to Everlasting. Login another char and altinvite Super Vixen1 which fails, since not there. duh, should have changed to the name I wanted... Logout with the intent of changing name, note that I have the name Super Vixen. Go back to Excelsior since I wanted to keep the name. It's not available. Go back to Everlasting, get Super Vixen into the super group. Go back several times to check Excelsior in case it's just a timing thing. Get the bright idea of friending "Super Vixen" on Excelsior, that worked. Not online though. There is a global by that name that I sent a tell to. I'm thinking we may have decided to transfer our chars at the same time, but that timing would have been amazing.

The ole sneakernet. Good luck!

The social types seem to run into this. I wouldn't mind seeing a "Last logged in" though.

I'm contemplating making my Inv/Axe tanker a badger. Though probably not. I'm not even done with my DB/WP scrapper badger. (1585 I think? Mostly master of badges and the more annoying PvP badge)

YAY! Just did the same last month. Had a few odd assembly issues, but once I figured out where I was being stupid, it's been a joy to run. Though I don't have mids yet installed because I need to see how to get it running on Linux again. (just a library issue, I think, but I mainly just had mids to look at other people's builds rather than tweak my own)

I tend to slot the %hide into my AS just so a followup Greater Followup Sword often crits as well. The Asssasin's Mark can go anywhere since the proc can fire on any attack. It's currently in Fire Sword for me with the rest of the set for extra recharge everywhere.

My level 50 was helping a level 44 with it's Father Time mission and when mission completion happened, I couldn't choose Golden RIngs as a reward "Target Too High Level!" Running my own mission with the level 44, not a problem.

There was a thread about areas that are annoying for the devs to code, from the devs. I'm not just making up stuff.

Always the P2W 2x, but Patrol Bonus is usually run out by the end of the TF. If you're aiming for this, one of the AV defeats for the end of the TF would probably work the best. Turn off XP when you're level 48.99 for best chance. (Of course, taking a little time to find out how much the WST XP bonus is would help this. Easy enough to find, but I'm off to wrangle a cat to the vet for a checkup, and she won't want to go)

I remember looking at the factions and they both said longbow. I could try spinning that mission up again easily enough. HA! Of course, have to cycle thru it enough times to get a map with the jail.... this may take a little work...

Doing one of the Bloody Bay Missions "Defeat All Longbow & set bombs" While passing by their jail, noticed a patrol beating up the doors in there.

I'd hate this because sometimes I'm multitasking while doing a mission solo, but need to do something in the RL for a bit.

I think some of those I might have conflated with the other thread. I blame lack of coffee which is my stamina fuel proc

I forget what the percentage of a level that is the bonus, but it's quite significant. Found two with 46->48, one in May 2020, and another in Jan 2021. There is one that is 47->49, but there's a 50 second gap, so must have leveled just before end of the WST. Yep, each one is due to the WST bonus XP

Not sure I like the "We all suffer thru it, so you must as well" However, there are a bunch of ways to deal with it other than set bonuses The mentioned Recovery Serum, various procs like Performance Shifter. Doing the DFB and DiB give you recovery boost options. I do find at the lower levels, I do need to use more End Reduction, but can swap those out as other mitigation methods become available.

Looks like I got a 37->38->39 also at the end of a Moonfire WST iirc, I was just about to ding 38 at the end.

I think I read that thread when first posted and now do similar with my newer characters, though I'm very inconsistent about it, but it always makes enough inf.

Yes, at level 1, exploration badges give no XP

Same with running via Linux. Not entirely sure any of the settings can be transferred, but I just built a new computer as well. (2012 laptop to brandnew system is quite a nice upgrade) I've been using the new launcher almost from it's release. Works well. A fresh install may make sense if you're using the new Coh Modder. I didn't do a fresh one, but I might do that anyway. Oddly enough, Lutris stopped working properly for me on my old computer and I wound up using a shell script to start the launcher, I'm still using the shell script. Logs a few interesting things and now that I look at it again, may need to log a report. 😛 : PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Games/Homecoming/bin/win64/launcher.exe > ~/down/hclaunch.log 2> ~/down/hclaunch.err &

Have you seen how often they've updated those statistics? You're not accounting for the coding weirdness that is CoX. There are a lot of items out there that are keyed off the character name, but not as much on account. Makes stuff more messy and probably has lovecraftian effects on the dev's sanity when they have to deal with it.

I don't see as many Speed ITFs, but I do see them since the revamp Other TFs, all the time on Everlasting and Excelsior Other iTrials, wrong RWZ, I see some advertisements for them occasionally, and the occasional LGTF. Was on one two days ago Hollows teams I see often enough. Others, rarer. And you still have to unlock KHTF. Respecs, yea, during WST I see both, but not often otherwise Redside, plenty of action I think there might be a confusion between stuff being run and stuff being advertised a lot.

Good to know it doesn't persist. Might be something with zero time logged off flagging it on check, so it would be a slim chance of someone snagging a name in the second that would be true. The if statement probably needs checking.

Based on "The various Flashback badges for completing challenges at various levels now do it based on the story arc maximum level, instead of the hidden Stature Level which made it difficult to know which story arcs counted for what. Only story arcs that reward 5 merits or more will count towards the challenge badges. " from the Patch notes: And then four days later: All Flashback Challenge badges: temporarily made the badges award on all arcs, regardless of merit payout amount. This change is due to many arcs, including all Incarnate Arcs and SSAs, not giving any merit rewards by default, instead putting them behind a Reward Choice which doesn't trigger the badge. Story arc merit reward payouts will be revised in January once we're back from the holiday break, and the limitation will be put back in to exclude non-combat and Personal Story arcs. Apparently it never got put back. May have slipped through the cracks, but to be fair, they didn't clarify which January...

Moved a character for DayJob purposes and noted I was getting a name warning for them. I tried a couple characters and if they were under 50 they got the "This character would be subject to the name release policy..." text and warning sign. It seems to only crop up for the last logged out character.
