    Anyone else notice a drop in xp and inf from the ambushes from the other day. I was getting anywhere from mid 20k xp down to mid teens now it looks like the range is from upper teens to low teens? Or is it just diminishing returns?

    Can you provide additional context, such as:

     

    Were you on a team before and after? 

    What level were you before and after?

    What server were you playing on before and after?

    Film beat comics by 20 years.  Cecil DeMille produced and directed The Squaw Man three times (1914, 1918 and 1931).  The 1918 version was the first true remake in film history, as it was directed and produced by the same person (everything else prior to that was done by different directors or studios, like the 1903 The Great Train Robbery and the 1904 The Great Train Robbery, which was almost a shot-for-shot remake of the 1903 film, by a different director and studio (film wasn't covered by copyright law at that time)).

     

    But my comment was a satirical observation that it's standard operating procedure for both.

    Well technically...

     

    Yes 😆

    I'll admit to being confused by all the "Crisis" stuff over the decades.  I'd always assumed it was DC's way of jettisoning a lore that had become too cumbersome, and trying something different.  That and generating fans and cash, as you've noted.

    I don't mean to imply there is anything wrong with that approach. It's worked for them (and Marvel) for a half century now. It's just not fun as a comic lover when the reboot happens more often than original story telling. I think I've read every Batman story arc now dozens of times, not the same comic, but the same story told over and over again using different approaches. 

     

    Long Halloween is still my favorite. I did like how they incorporated the Court of Owls a decade ago. It's not all bad!

    This needs to open to some kind of large map, even if it has no NPCs in it.

    I'm using tequila. I meant to say loading bar. I will click on tequila from the desktop icon, it will pop up and then click play after the green bar reaches the end. then a smaller longer bar will pop up saying loading and that is as far as it will go... it was "loading" for hours. thx for the help

    The best option at this time is to switch to the Official Homecoming Launcher: https://manifest.cohhc.gg/launcher/hcinstall.exe  Tequila is being phased out, so you'll need to switch eventually anyway.

  6. DC has a history of just redoing the same popular storyline over and over again without changing too much (voice actors, artists, story pacing all change). It's their attempt to hook a new audience in to their story telling universe and rake in cash from the die hards and fanboys. 

     

    If you want to enjoy the actual story, take a look at the 1980s version.

      Well my tequila has done great jobs since many years so I did not feel the necessity to stop using it.
    Anyway now I've changed to HC launcher so it's ok.
    Unfortunately it does not work the same way tequila did 😞 I can only log once, whereas it was easy on tequila to use my two accounts simultaneously. How can we do the same with this officila launcher ?

  8. To continue with dispelling the misinformation posted in this thread, the Official Homecoming Launcher is not new, it's been around for over three years. It's been supported by the Homecoming Team longer than Tequila ever was.

     

    There are no bugs that need worked out - it was beta tested almost four years ago. As I said on the first page of this thread, the Official Homecoming Launcher is faster than Tequila in getting updates, much more secure than Tequila, and its more compatible than Tequila with other operating systems. 

     

    And to continue on 'getting the word out' - the announcement of the Official Homecoming Launcher was put out through all Official channels when it debuted over three years ago. It's continually recommended on every Official channel by the Homecoming Team every time a new patch or update comes out for folks to switch. If players choose not to observe announcements from those Official channels, that's their prerogative.

     

    (If there is a new player, they are directed to the Official Homecoming Launcher from the start, for the past threec years).

     

    If players have made the conscious choice NOT to use the Official Homecoming Launcher since it was launched over three years ago, that's their prerogative.

  9. If folks weren't aware, there were some fantastic new military-flavored costume additions added in Page 7, Issue 27:

     

    Spoiler
    • Head > Half Helmets > Helmets > "Modern Beret"
    • Head > Half Helmets > Helmets > "ACH Helmet Tintable 1"
    • Head > Half Helmets > Helmets > "ACH Helmet Tintable 2"
    • Head > Half Helmets > Helmets > "ACH Helmet 1-8"
    • Head > Half Helmets > Helmet Detail 1 > "Modern Beret Flash"
    • Head > Half Helmets > Helmet Detail 2 > "Modern Beret Detail 1-13"

     

    So now instead of that unsat beret headcover from legacy or a goofy helmet from yesteryears, players can finally live out their fantasy as an action hero in full regalia! You can find them in the Half-Helmet section instead of the Hat section (I'm sure there was some sort of technical reason for this). Hopefully on the next go around, they add an O6 (Colonel/Captain) rank to the Head > Half Helmets > Helmet Detail 2 > "Modern Beret Detail 1-13"

    image.jpeg.eca228f3c4698fd88809d6801264c5d6.jpeg 

    And finally, the Advanced Combat Helmet (ACH) Helmet [as described in game, a bit duplicative to call it a helmet helmet], with 8(!) other camo patterns for your nostalgia needs!

    It's obviously a little late this year, but I'd like to see Luna give the option of buying Anniversary Badges with Anniversary tokens as well. It'd be a nice way to use them up when you have a lot left over after getting everything just by clicking capsules, and it'd be nice to have something else to do with leftovers besides dumping on the AH.

    How many Anniversary Tokens would you suggest it cost for an Anniversary Badge?

    I'm kind of bummed that you can't use the Anniversary tokens to buy the old Anniversary badges, 100 merits apiece is steep.  And the tokens are otherwise useless when you can get all the stuff purchasable with them in one day, when the event is a month long.

    The Anniversary Tokens can be used to purchase Anniversary Event inspirations, they can be traded on the Auction House for inf, and they will likely be used again for the event next year. If you consider them useless, I'm happy to take them off your hands.

    my bad, thouth i quick show the costume.

    There's nothing wrong with it. I was looking at the last few of the costumes you posted in this thread and couldn't quite get the look in game so I figured there was something used to alter the costume screenshot.
