It's why I still have my run of Tick comics

Your character name: Scales Your Global handle: @Lemming Are you the owner? Y Are you the builder? Y Your base’s name: Protectors The shard it is located on: Victory The passcode for entry: Victory-248 The category your base is entering under: Novice Contributing builders’ names or Global handles: @ZapDevil @Aehr Any additional information you wish the judges to know beforehand: Just a functional base that has everything needed in one room. And since we needed at least some sort of entry on Victory. I'm happiest about the base portal spots now.

"Ever been to Utah? Ra-di-a-tion. Yes, indeed. You hear the most outrageous lies about it. Half-baked goggle-box do-gooders telling everybody it's bad for you. Pernicious nonsense. Everybody could stand a hundred chest X-rays a year!" -J. Frank Parnell, Repo Man

A single set that gave bonuses to heal & recovery would probably be fine. The bonuses would have to make it worth more than the typical frankenslotting you see in those powers. Though a lot of those powers wouldn't need recharge or end reduction. So might just be a four piece set. It's just a thought experiment.

There are a few powers that do both End Mod & Heal. Cauterizing Aura from Fire Manip. (A few of the Blaster Secondaries have it)

I did test this out by picking up he same Tina mission. If the character stayed in PI and a team member killed something in Brickstown, it did not count. If the character was in Brickstown and the team member was down south in Bricks, it counted.

No but I got scolded about optics. After I explained the effect was because of the multiple layers of lens that the triple photo showed and at a slight angle, different components of the light reflected inside the lens where the person was complaining about my obvious manipulation. 😄

You mention Team Members? The mission owner needs to be in zone for them to count. I'm not noting a range restriction though.

LuscaCon was totally lit!

Clicking settings, I assume it shows the Game Folder as C:\Games\HC (default is Homecoming)

That mbd file is a text file. (Not the easiest solution, but might help)

As another old timer, I'll second trying out a sentinel. They're sturdy enough and good for casual play.

I started looking thru bases yesterday. A lot of wow factor going on and ideas for improving my own.

Dr Q is a nice stroll TF, though on my blasters, I can blow thru at less than two hours easily. With a team, if everyone has TT, MT, and ATT, you can get close to 90 minutes when used efficiently.

I avoid respecs, but some people seem to enjoy them. At least they're usually worth an alright chunk of inf when I get the recipe and throw it onto the ah.

It would be interesting to have the timeline of galaxy shown. We've got the tutorial, then the arcs with Twinshot & Dr Graves. Then unless i am missing something, you have the Payphone showing what's going on. So, nothing between 20 & 40. Can't say I'm a fan of the phasing tech they use for storylines in Atlas & Mercy, though it's more interesting in Brickstown where if you've done the Marchand Arc, you then have Marauder near Manticore. Though the Brickstown stuff is purely decorative. Maybe more like the PvP zones that set you at a level, so when you visit Galaxy you get a choice of which era you're visiting and you get set to that level?

Doing a quick look, you might need to run some system checks. Doing a search for "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0150004)" came up with a bunch of answers, but most involved running SFC, etc... https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/the-application-was-unable-to-start-correctly/c15e1d0a-a1d4-4029-83fa-1793a49f2bfc

If you really want to have a Damage Proc to add, Perfect Zinger. (Hey, which is what a WP tank of mine has... Might be the only one I've done that with)

Morales is the mayor. How many people have done the Payphone/Bile/Piecemeal mission?

Yep. It's not a bad kludge, but it could be better Oh, and you don't have to logout, you just have to zone.

Not sure if it counts as fun, but... Write a statistics tool to gather various wanted metrics that could then be done automatically every so often. (trick is to make it low impact as well) Figure out a cleaner respec that would allow small changes without having to do it all over. Ability to save and load power tray layouts. Turn certain queries to the DB that allow only single tries into capable of being grouped.

After awhile, they just start piling up from multiple sources. One way is to take part in the Hami raids. Those are usually done twice (for 80+40 reward merits, or 4 E merits, or a Hami-O) , sometimes triple. And normally multiple times a day on at least Everlasting and Excel. TFs, especially weekly.

Kind of a non-starter when they show what is going on in the new mission where you explore what is going on in Galaxy. https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Pay_Phone
