lemming

Definitely. I'm not immune to wanting to snipe sometimes, but I'm definitely trying to not get involved in "Well, you meant to say this, so I'm offended" back and forths.

Yea, I haven't dug into those JSON files myself, but that's easy to work with. Weighing if I want to use them as is, or convert to a more compact form for my own use.

I'd be curious how many of those characters were made in October. I made around a dozen (hmm, maybe a few more since the name release happened and I grabbed some names to work into existing characters.) I'd say about 1/2 my chars have the Steadfast Protection +Def. A bunch of chars were made pre-knowledge and as I revisit them, they either get invested in, or deleted. Ironically, a lot of mine were deleted after the first halloween with Prismatic. Spending too much times on chars I didn't enjoy, but felt I needed to get them to a certain point, so for sake of my own time management. Two? years later, I've finally started using up some of the saved up items from back then. On bases: Most of the SGs I belong to are me and two other players, with occasional others. (across all the servers)

Cobalt's brother (i think) did some voices for the labyrinth which is where you'll hear a them. I'm good with voices used like that, more than in cutscenes.

They have added some voice acting during HC, however in a pretty limited way and not for cutscenes iirc. I tend to turn off voice overs myself, so no interest from me.

Was going to test out a build on the Open Beta and noted that Victory is not available in the drop down menu for copy. (I think this is the proper spot for this report, but unsure)

I think my note mentioned "Great value on forums, be wary on PUGS, they're fine, but tends to attract unsavory types"

The other option would be a Psychic Blast Sentinel picking up Weapon Mastery. (Though a Psi/Ninjitsu Blaster would be similar)

Blackspectre made this tutorial: https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/User:BlackSpectre/Testthis Pretty good overview of the layout

They have a registrar in Nova: https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Super_Group_Registrar

You need to use a mirror while the sun is up.

RNG giveth and taketh.

https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Viva_Praetoria_Badge Don't think River Rat was ever part of it, because it definitely wasn't at shutdown. (Maybe when first introduced, but it doesn't reflect it on the wiki ever)

If they made Regen super powerful on April 1, that would be funny. If Regen set, base healing 10x. Power lasts for 30 minutes or end of day.

Stuff that can be saved on your hard drive that if you know what you are doing, can be edited directly. Settings Costumes & Power Customization Mission Architect files Demo files Popmenus and other mods Logs Popmenus and such get loaded when the client starts, and if there are errors, they'll be pointed out in the client log which is different than the other logs. Logs if enabled just get added to, and not recommended to edit while running. Costumes, Power Customization, and Mission Architect files can be loaded at any time, but they do go thru sanity checks. I would imagine if there was a base save & load, it would be a fairly complex file, but certainly doable. (Item plus location, facing, tint, etc...) Loading would probably be doable, it would strip stored items, and make sure stuff was legal and sane. (No buffer overflows, etc...) There's a bunch of other stuff that would have to go into it Loading and Saving just a room. What happens to stored stuff on loading? Hard fail, or "Are you sure?", or can we still store what's here in what you're loading? I can see this being used to tweak a base where you want to reorg, or setting up a completely new base. It's a large range of options that would need a lot of planning on development.

The only difference to an Ouro arc is the options to spy for the other faction is not available. All the arcs work pretty well, but as Lunar mentioned, if you did any Praetorian arc while leveling, sometimes contacts wind up funky. I don't remember any oddness in First or Night Ward, but I suppose if you locked Katie away in the network, she might not be available during a couple missions where she ports you in for others. Contacts killed off tend not to be available in live, but are available as a contact in Ouro fine.

Add Alexandra Sideris from Cimerora as well since they became available a bit after this thread was initiated

A few years back I was in that position. I was sending tells into the void apparently, but when the people I was on discord joined the team, we looked at the global and went "Oh". And I was happy not to be on that TF.

It's a bit of a rehash. Beyond pointing toward the announcement and the why already done, not much else needed frankly.

If I was going for a redesign, the current model would still be similar. Probably have it able to be zoomed in to get more exact, but you'd have the ability to just use the RGB numbers since that's what is used for window colors as well. (though of course, in a different way...) And a saved color palette maybe for your character, so you'd know what colors are in use. That would be a bit of UI work, but the costume files themselves shouldn't change "much"

Yea, the teams I've been on most recently speed up by just going down the right spots first to get to the right area. Beat up Devoured to get the inspiration, get thru the walls, beat the Titan, free the heroes. Avoiding what isn't needed is the only speed really which makes it good for a group without taking most of your playing time for the day.

I believe so. There were just a tad over 200 SGs when I transferred over there. Michiyo did post some stats of Victory pre-server. Not sure where that is atm.

It's not as long as it was on Live. (Like almost everything) Tricky part is the Crystal Titan, but methods have been figured out.

What is funny to me, the day this thread is posted, my wife quotes jabberwocky. (And she doesn't play cox, or D&D...)

Are you that new to the internet that you don't know why? It would be cool, and like pointed out, it stores in the RGB values already. Is it worth it? For probably quite a few, yes.
