I don't count that. (Edit: That isn't him showing up in the game, it is a GM throwing him out there for whatever reason.)

Well that's the only way a player is going to see him, that's all I was trying to say.

I don’t know anything about the series and I’m not particularly into anime, but dang. This movie is doing numbers. 

I've followed the anime since it was released and it's a great watch. They do movies at the end of each season/begin of next season that have higher visual quality and added scenes to make it in to a bigger spectacle. The Infinity Castle arc is the near end of the series, so it's pulling out all the stops.

He doesn't. We face some of his aspects in the game, and we were supposed to release him to devour Battalion when that story line reached its completion, but he otherwise does not himself show up.

He does show up, sort of in an unofficial capacity if you've ever had the pleasure of attending GM-supported player-led events in places like Echo Plaza. Obviously that is non-canonical, but it's pretty cool to see. 

[Changing Water Blast more specifically Water Burst.]

14 hours ago, Mystoc said:

Why is Water Burst the only power in the powerset that consumes tidal power when not at max stacks, this behavior makes it so the power can't be used in any attack chains to reach 3 tidal power. It feels like a very greedy attack when it doesn't give any tidal power but will also consume all tidal power you have as well.

 

personally, I think Water Burst should just consume tidal power only at 3 stacks that way it can be used in attack chains without resetting all tidal power progress. its knockdown ability is RNG anyway if not max stacks so the vast majority of players either desire to use it when at no stacks or max stacks not this unreliable between.

Tidal Power is used to empower Water Burst, Dehydrate, Water Jet and Geyser. You can have up to three stacks of Tidal Power at a time. Using Water Burst at 3 stacks of Tidal Power gives 100% chance at Mag +0.67 to Knockback to all affected targets. Using Water Burst at 2 stacks of Tidal Power gives 70% chance at Mag +0.67 to Knockback to all affected targets. Using Water Burst at 1 stack of Tidal Power gives 45% chance at Mag +0.67 to Knockback to all affected targets. Using Water Burst without any stacks of Tidal Power gives 33% chance at Mag +0.67 to Knockback to all affected targets.

Do not want.

 

I'd like to be able to disable the receipt of the costume powers. They are like spam to me and I hate them in my trays. 

 

I don't want to disrupt anyone else's pleasure but to me they are as useful as spam fritters. 

 

Can I make them stop pls? 

Support this. 

 

In the meantime, my work around is to create empty macro placeholders on my tray until ToTing activities have concluded. Anyone else have band-aid solutions?

The latter. And yes.

MoLG is simply "no temps, no death" like masters for ITF/LR/ML, it doesn't require any level of hard mode (like Aeon does).

 

Snarks, at least you failed early, it seems most of the failures I've seen were with the Hami encounter, which is DEEP into the tf.

Hey that's right! Thanks for the correction. 

[Regarding This Triple XP Business...]

11 hours ago, Ukase said:

I don't know why I find earning incarnate materials to be repetitive. But I'm liking the 3xp because it makes the vet levels accumulate faster, which means when I do get to 50, I can +3 it sooner than later. 
I'm just weary of Dark Astoria and the iTrials. I don't mind just burning through emps to get what I need, even though it's horribly inefficient. So, I'll earn these vet levels with the emp drops happily while I do something else on a lowbie. (different shards, don't panic) 

I know you know this, but for everyone else, the Labyrinth of the Fog is a fantastic place to level from 45 and up. The enemies there grant higher xp than anywhere else in the game. And if you're attempting the Font of Malevolence, you're going to see 2-3 levels (post 50) easily over the course of an hour.

Thought this was +15%?

Yeah you right

[Shard-Wide Double XP vs pre-existing accelerated XP]

Once you hit Level 45, you can have the shard-wide double xp, the START vendor double xp, snag the 15% xp Devourer temporary power for defeating the Seed of Hamidon in First Ward, and then go to the Labyrinth of the Fog and defeat enemies there for 1.5 xp on top.

 

I think that's 5.65x the experience. Make sure you also have a full bar of Patrol xp so it goes faster.

That's sad for the state of gaming, but awesome for the standard that's set by the Homecoming Team. 

[It's come to my attention...]

...that the Homecoming Team has done a great job letting us know something ain't right, when we can expect it fixed, and what they're doing about it.

 

Whether its those bright orange banners at the top of the official forums...

 

...or pings on their server status updates on the official Homecoming discord...

 

I gotta give props to our volunteer team keeping the lights on and letting us know when the hamsters chew through the wiring!

Nothing is fishy about logging off character A on one account and logging in character B on a second account. This is normal and done by everyone that has more than one account which is likely half the players if not more. 

Don't worry about it. A real GM would let you know if you're out of line.

[Regeneration?]

33 minutes ago, Lockpick said:

Is that a Tanker build and are you willing to share it? This thread has piqued my interest in Regeneration and I'm trying to decide what character to make.  I was considering a BS/Reg stalker or an AR/Reg Sentinel.

Tanker (Regeneration - Radiation Melee).mbd

 

That is close to what I have in game. Note the Mids build doesn't accurately account for a number of things (Reactive Regeneration bonuses or the debuff resistances for example). In fact, I've had a lot of trouble with Mids lately and just stopped trying to manually update/redownload everything.

 

I went with Radiation Melee as my secondary powerset because it has an additional AoE aura toggle, (Integration is the primary Taunt aura for Tankers) and was on theme for my character. I also took Energy Mastery -> Energy Torrent to use the alternate animation with laser beam that arcs across because it looks cool. The point of me mentioning that is there is plenty of room to improve on other things to make the build how you want it. I found building too much Defense caused Reactive Regeneration to not reach max stacks (10), so building for MaxHP and as high resistance numbers as you can get help more. If I could recommend one thing for the Tanker version of Regeneration, it would be that having an Absorb shield added on to cushion the alpha would be helpful. Regeneration lives on the edge and requires a focused play style to react to incoming damage - gone are the days of afking around a dozen monsters in the Hive and coming back later to find yourself alive and well.

Some call this changeling thing an exploit. I would call it a feature. 

If the same effect from using animation canceling was applied to other Archetypes, would you then consider an exploit?
