    Hop on over to the beta server to test out some Page 5 power updates!

    Not everyone is able to get onto the beta server for reasons for any number of possible reasons that I will not elaborate here, and I would still like my thoughts to be considered, others seem to disagree. I do concede that actual beta testing and in-game trials would be best, but I don't think that should be the only consideration worthy of note when weighing someone's feedback, especially when it's asked for. Personally I won't be participating in any future beta feedbacks.

    It's all good! There are plenty of other ways to support the Homecoming team and community. And playing the game is honestly the most important part in my opinion.

    Day Jobs..and the perks/temps

    I'm going to hijack this thread to ask a tangentially related question, but not worthy of its own thread.

     

    Does anyone know of a quick way to get to the Psychologist day job location?  Like, is there a contact whose first mission takes you to a door somewhere around that hospital?  That way I could start the arc in ouro and use mission tp but as it stands now, I just zone in to First Ward and hoof it.

     

    Pretty much every other day job I've got a way to get to in 15 seconds from anywhere in game, but not Psychologist.

    There's not really a good way to do it like the other Day Job locations. I'll usually get after the local mobs for the defeat badges while I keep the character parked at the ward.

    [Beta] Patch Notes for October 2nd, 2022

    Obviously, those are all things.  But if the complaint is "EBs spawning on solo players can be a bit of a hassle," and the Devs' response is, "Just go somewhere else," which is what I got from their initial response), having these EBs pursue you to the ends of the earth kind of works against that.

    Yeah, I'm leaning that way myself. Just wanted to give some options for players who have experienced this and needed a way to break contact. 

    Halloween event?

    @Zhym thank you.  That's a good argument for the HC crew to spin up another PI instance (so that those who aren't doing big teams have a relatively mellow place to do their thing). 

    I can't remember the last time I saw another instanced zone on Indomitable - so if no-lag is the goal, head on over to Indom for some great ToTing!! 😁

    Who ever released this lag fest of a patch should have his butt kicked,PI is down with ungodly lag, it's so bad it stops you in your tracks. 64 gig ram, 8 gig video ( turned down to min just to move )with fiber internet, 

    What in the world makes you think having 64 GBs of RAM will make lag occur less? Let alone your graphics card memory...?

     

    Latency or ping, is determined by how long it takes for your system to send and receive data to the server that the game is running on. Frame rate is more tied to your personal computer set up, where the timings on your RAM and the clock speed of your CPU, in addition to the frequency of the GPU you mentioned, would have something to do with how often your screen refreshes a new image after it is done rendering.

     

    As this is a seasonal event, there are bound to be more people on each server. However, if you are experiencing a "lag fest," perhaps try playing at different times or on a different shard in the mean time.

    The Trouble with Indom

    Sorry to hear.  It should have never been declared the unofficial PvP server, as PvP is anathema to 99.5% of the player base.  Alas.

    That's a wild percentage! Are you being sarcastic or do you have some sort of data or at least reference to show this as factual?

    From what I heard - second hand, he spent over 400 Billion. I was shocked to hear they had that much. I know there's got to be about a couple of dozen folks who are richer than Yomo and myself, but they keep things quiet. I have no first hand data, but I was told that when the game first opened by HC, there was some morality mission exploit that a number of folks used to gather in a large number of reward merits in fairly short order. Sadly, I only hear about these things well after things are fixed. It'd be nice to get in on the ground floor of an exploit like that so I could get bug hunter without spending hours on brainstorm. 

    Side note - if you want Bug Hunter, you can earn it by regularly testing and providing feedback to the beta server changes for new pages. Then again, it doesn't count towards the players overall total, similar to Flames of Prometheus. 

     

    Edit: Just saw the last sentence in the first paragraph of your post about not wanting to earn the badge. No worries!

    Sure, and that's what I did once I realized these guys were after me like I was the one worth a badge.  But it would also be nice if these guys gave up after a while.  Without exaggeration, I was in Brickstown, by the neighborhood marker for the Chasm, and he followed me all the way back to the train.

    The Hazard doors in to Creys Folly also has drones. And hospitals. And AE buildings. And team mates can help a lot too. Players can also open up the Auction House window by typing /ah in to the chat bar to buy inspirations ad nauseum. Players can email themselves inspirations as well. Players with fly or any players with temporary flight powers can move out of range until their health recovers.

    The level of talent exhibited by the playerbase here is just amazing. Y'all are something special coming up with such inventive costume ideas I could never think of in a million years. 😄

    Yeah someone should pull together the costume files of all the highly approved posts and put them in an AE story mission so we can all gaze and gawk!

    I need some help and a few answers

    Ok first I need to explain the reasons for the post in the first place. I have a nephew who well I had the fortunate experience of bonding with him by letting him play and to this day he says this is the greatest game experience he has had in his childhood. So finding this is for his benefit. I told him about what you guys were doing and he has a few concerns or rather he had a few logical questions that I feel are only fair that get answered so here goes:

    1. Is the sourcing legal

    2. How do you stop the site from being hacked

    3. How do you stop it from being free reign for tracking bots and trojans

    4. How do I know if the download link is reputable and uncontaminated 

     

    Sorry for the list but I want my nephew to play without anxiety

    1. The sourcing is not legal. There has been "talks" (see my signature) regarding making it so, but that's where it's at currently. Not a legal expert, so take that with a grain of salt. It's the internet too, so who knows!

     

    2. The forums are secured and so is your information, which amounts to an email address you link to the forum account (which also becomes your in game account, so don't share that information). The Homecoming volunteer team has volunteer developers, volunteer game masters, and volunteer staff to keep the lights on, all volunteering to volunteer their voluntary time. (Notice a theme)

     

    3. The servers that the Homecoming folks use have security software to prevent these things. When you try to download the game, some times your security software will identify it as a trojan virus. It's not, and I'm not an expert to explain why, but I've played this game for three years and I'm still playing. 

     

    4. Since everyone here is a stranger to one another, it's basically trusting strangers. But I'll tell you I haven't been let down at all in the past three years of playing and I've donated multiple times because it's a great team who cares about the community.

    We need to talk about HeroCorp

    Hero Corps will be relaunching in Paragon City with a presence that does not **exclude** the field analysts from work - they are happily employed right where they are.

     

    But they will be called on in a pinch for delicate political situations when a regular hero might be a liability to go off script or bungle the optics.

     

    And yes, each costume that I could work with in the costume contest was minorly adjusted, given a brand new name and backstory, and being added to the roster.

    This is like that company from "The Boys" right?
