Mr. Apocalypse

While there are things on other servers that I would potentially like to see on the homecoming servers, I don't feel I have any right to demand any of them nor complain about the lack there of. If the devs here decide on implementing some of the things other severs have, great, if not, then no skin off my teeth. I think the devs here are doing a fantastic job, and the number of servers and population speak to that fact.

As I sit here playing the best game ever made, I just want to thank all of you that beat me to the punch with your donations. Thanks again to all of you who, made it possible to step back into the City of heroes universe.

A few days ago I posted about controlling MM pets with an Elgato 3x5 button Stream Deck. After using it for a bit, I found a couple of bugs with some of the functions. The main issue, was some functions were not selecting a pet before casting an equip or upgrade, and one issue with the number-pad enter key not being recognized in the Stream deck macro program as unique to the regular enter key. After deciding to revamp the files for my Bots MM, I decided to go full in and do it for all Mastermind primaries. I hope many of you find it useful. Features: Full capabilities of standard Mastermind number-pad keybinds (slightly modified files) Powerset icons for each primary with overlay text for ease of use custom Icons for multi-function keys. Additional functions The ability to summon all pets with a single key Both equip and upgrade with single key Dismiss all pets with single key Bind file info: I have modified a set of the basic number-pad keybinds to function with the stream deck and BarRaider super macro plugin. The most obvious change is Pet upgrades have been changed from Numpad enter to Page down key I also added a bind to the page up key to select the first available pet in your pet list. This helps with a macro added to do both pet upgrades with a single button press I personally like my pets to report when I select a group, so the bots.txt is modified as such and any of the other can be done the same way. All bind files should be extracted and placed in the Homecoming/setting/live folder if you place them in a different folder the paths will have to be changed within the files Load the appropriate file for your primary: /bindloadfile xxx.txt Beast Mastery - Beast.txt Robotics - Bots.txt Demon Summoning - SummonDemons.txt Mercenaries - Mercs.txt Ninjas -Ninjas. txt Thugs - Thugs.txt Necromancy - necro.txt Stream Deck info: For the Stream Deck make sure to BarRaider Super macro plugin is installed. After unzipping the file containing to profiles, open the appropriate profile by double clicking on it and it will be automatically added to your stream deck profile list. That's it! According to Elgato's documentation the profiles should be completely portable including all Icons. I was unable to test this, due to lack of another PC for testing. Enjoy 🙂 Stream deck Mastermind profiles.zip MM keybinds for streamdeck.zip

here is my old build from before sunset. I am currently leveling this toon again since coming back a few weeks ago. I looked at the build posted above and it looks like My build is focused more on regen, than defense and resistance. However my Damage output of my bots is up to 2+X that build in some cases. I am open to any suggestions on this build as well. I think I am going to plug both into the beta server and compare. It has been a while and I am a bit rusty on what sets do what, and some of the available sets had not been added to the game, back when I first built it out pre sunset. I Have also forgotten which incarnate powers I had, and they were not saved in this Mid's build file. This Villain build was built using Mids Reborn 3.1.2.5 https://github.com/LoadedCamel/MidsReborn Click this DataLink to open the build!

Like I said, from back in the day. I should have said its my dom that ALSO could farm. I think people are farming a bit differently now, and the term has evolved into only running a specific type of mission only. it worked well and could do 8 man missions solo on the map I used and rarely if ever died. It was not a maxed out farm toon by todays standards , but it did quite well. I think now, if it doesn't do gadzillin infamy a second it is dismissed. I did not run it in a fire farm, and it was able to do other things. I rarely built a character to run only one map for the sole purpose of farming only since i like to also have fun doing other things. What changes would you make, and what mission would be the prime farming mission based of of the way people are farming now? I appreciate any criticism as I have not rebuilt this toon yet since starting to play again a couple weeks ago. Thanks.

I just ran a mission for contact: Mr. G. in st martial, called "attack the carnival of shadows". The final npc was a Doppelganger of my character (bots MM). It looked like my character except different colors and started dropping bots etc. so I know there is already a mechanic to convert players including chosen powersets, etc to NPC on the fly. This should really be looked into for more content variety.

I had an idea, to use Player characters for this. player must be lvl 50, and have certain combo of achievements/accolades/incarnate abilities and obviously user consent. Maybe you have to retire the character before being elevated to npc or have a window of like 30-90 days before you can play character again, if you want to enter the program. I know there are a lot of details that would have to be sorted, but I would be pretty cool, to have a random encounter with one of your alts while on a bank mission.

My Fire/psi Dom from back in the day before sunset. It looks like some of the concealment power pool was moved around but they were just place holders for LotG 7.5 recharge anyways.

I would do just like I did when I played Star wars galaxies, which limited you to one toon per account. I would have multiple accounts. At one point I was paying a monthy sub on 4 accounts. A jedi, A bounty hunter, an Armour-smith and a smuggler. but what I would chose for my main would always be my bot/drk mastermind

I give you my two favorite costumes, the 4' tall Low Down Leprechaun - Plant/Thorn Dom, and the Demonic Comic - Fire/psi Dom

Both the to hit buff, and to hit de-buff both look washed out. It looks to me that they could use a black outline around the arrows.

I would like to see the color options like are on the Thunderspy private server, full pallet control of everything, with sliders for RGB etc. it can be done, just a mater of resources and implementation from the dev team The thunderspy server even has auras for individual body parts, asymmetrical gloves/boots, additional details can be overlapped on face/ chest arms, etc. and also the addition of using NPC costume parts as well.

thanks!

When I toggle on super jump, a new power tray opens with one Icon (it has no number). I cant move or change anything on the tray (get message that it is a server Tray and cant be modified). It has 1 power icon for double jump. the tray goes away when SJ is toggled off. How can I stop it from popping up. It is screwing up my UI layout.

Hi all, Just getting back into playing again since NCsoft pulled plug. I have dabbled a bit on homecoming over last few years, but not much outside of character creation. I was co-founder of the VG Order Sixty-Six. Order Sixty-Six started as a group of 3 that had our work destroyed when Star Wars Galaxies pushed out the NGE, so we left the SOE abuse train and looked for something new and different. City of villains had just launched so we moved and over the next few years we rose to the top VG/SG on the server. I am Looking to reconnect with old friends and possibly join up to a new SG/VG. here is a list of characters you may have known me by: Mr. Apocalypse Bots/Dark MM Low Down Leprechaun Plant/Thorn Dom Demonic Comic fire/psi Dom Big Vato Energy/Stone Brute these were my mains, all completely enhanced to the fullest extent of what was available, I was a farming machine 🙂

Mr. Apocalypse Here, Looking for any former members of Order Sixty Six. I really took the NCsoft closure of COH pretty hard, and mothballed my desire to play MMOs. My daughter has decided she wants to play recently, so I am coming out of retirement and looking to reform the SG if there is interest, or join up with some old friends for some fun.
