    Right, but one of the chief complaints about the set's performance is the randomness of the insight mechanic. Sure, using Boggle makes it more likely but I can't imagine many cases where you wouldn't get more mileage out of simply continuing your attack chain instead of spending the time to cast Boggle in the hopes of a DPS boost.

    So instead perhaps an alternative mechanic similar to Tidal Forces for Water Blast or more recently Seismic Forces from Seismic Blast that stacks up then can be unleashed?

    Feedback: Winter Just Begun

    Can we stop calling the month of December the "winter" event?  It's obviously a Christmas event with the very subtle decorations and themes that can be found in the ski chalet and winter forest...  But even if you can't (or won't) call it what it really is because you don't want to risk offending someone who doesn't celebrate that holiday, my issue is this:  the event begins a couple of weeks in advance of the actual start of winter and ends the first Tuesday after the new year has begun.  Then it's back to 10 months of tedium of the city looking like a static snapshot but with a month long break from that during October.

    But winter has only just begun, and will extend through January and is usually coldest around February.  Why must the snow go away?  If it were a blight on every zone in the game, I could understand some people being sick of it and wanting to be rid of it ASAP... but it's really only in Atlas Park.  Can't we stretch it out a little longer next year?  Maybe don't start it at the beginning of December... maybe wait to the middle of the month with that pre-winter scene change we get in the fall and then let Winter last later into January?

    The timing has ALWAYS sucked.  But you have the power to fix it and just keep delivering more of the same.

    I get that this is more of a gripe about the length of the event, but there is a Menorah in the shop stand in the Winter Forest in addition to its holiday themes and Christmas tree and the zone can be accessed year-round. Holidays are really about spending time with friends and family anyways, which can be done year-round as well. As for other themes, if players are just interested in difference Atlas Park appearances, Null the Gull can send players to different themed versions of the zone.

    Alphabetical order character slotting?

    I was looking at the playerslot doc in the homecoming file and trying to figure out if there's a way to set this to automatically place the names in alphabetical order, or if there's some kind of shortcut command to do it. 

    Alternative: By clicking the search bar under the character list, players can sort through their characters using the below filters and typing a keyword.

    Aside from that, I don't have a solution to offer.

    Winter Pack strategy

    I don't think they should randomly drop. I think they should be part of every reward table. Or at least most reward tables. 

    Now, what might be more interesting is to have a random Winter-O be available after completing the Winter Lord trial or some other appropriate task, much the same way Overwhelming Force is available after Summer BB. 

    And since the Summer BB is available year round - I see no reason why the Winter Lord trial can't be available year round. 

    Agree with this. Winter Event offering a Winter Pack (or just a reward table with one Winter-O) just makes sense to me.

    Can anything solo LRSF/Miss Liberty TF?

    To make sure I get the proper bragging rights, I completed it in 31 minutes 🙂

     

    As you can see from the screenshot, 100 inspirations in my email was insufficient, needed character item insps from super packs. I realized the only way to do this speedy enough was to cap def/res and melee towers.

    Solo that's amazing speed! The fastest Ms. Liberty TF was done by a team in 12 mins, 29 seconds. Link:

    High Roller (dice7) is awarded for having Burkholder's Bane (Heroes) or Deuces Wild (Villains)

     

    Tablet Write I believe is the architect tablet, which should now come from Thrill Seeker (previously Mission Engineer).

     

    Drenched Donuts is a bunch of coffee and donut emotes awarded by the Old Fashioned badge in Faultline.  There isn't a Villain equivilant....yet.

     

    Thank you! I had searched the HCWiki before posting but didn't see the drenched donuts one. I may have to create an account on there and start updating!

    Any Flashback story arcs surprise you?

    in General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Glacier Peak

    I think redside has the best story writing hands down. And the unlockable contacts on redside are a breath of fresh air for anyone who is tired of the Issue 1 blueside grinds. It's really odd, but I like the feel of blue side the most, the story of the redside the most, and the artwork, buildings, and set pieces of goldside the most.

     

    I think the Tour Guide missions and the Alignment missions should also get their just praise. 

     

    Edit: And let's not forget the amazing community content created in the AE! The limits of imagination are hardly constrained in this system and I forsee a lot more content being added in this realm in the future.

    My favorite Flashback arc is "Collateral Damage" from Laura Lockhart (22.01, under levels 20-24).  To avoid spoilers, I won't say much about it except that you should play it twice and it uses the idea of being an Ouroboros flashback arc better than any other arc in the game.  I wish there were more arcs that did something like it.

    This! Some of the best writing in the game. I had THE FEELS after playing it the first time and THE JOYS the second time after doing the spoilery thing.

    Daily update for Homecoming on the Massively Overpowered Best MMO Rogue Server 2021 Award (people's choice poll)

    Posted · Edited by Glacier Peak

    Shouldn't it read Homecoming: City of Heroes? That is how I remember the HC team wanting to brand their work/community... gotta find the post somewhere...

     

    Found it!

    Hello everyone! We’ve got a few updates to share with you today.


    The Talks
    Just over one year ago we announced that we had begun talks with NCSOFT, so it’s about time we provided a little update!

     

    Over the past year we’ve been working closely together to make this work, and have made significant headway in several areas. Unfortunately, Coronavirus has hindered the pace of these discussions somewhat, but we’re still having regular meetings and are slowly but surely moving towards a positive outcome.

     

    Many of the updates we’re talking about today are a result of these ongoing talks. There’s still a ton of work going on behind the scenes to get us to the finish line, and we’d like to thank you all for your continued patience.

     

    TL;DR: Still Soon™, but Soon™er than before.

     

    Homecoming: City of Heroes
    We’re going to be changing the name of the project from City of Heroes: Homecoming to Homecoming: City of Heroes. This won’t be an immediate change - you’ll slowly start to see things switch over the next few months - however, the current Homecoming logo will be remaining in place. 

     

    2027700530_new-logo(1).thumb.png.a39bc674e2678a17a1a5925fd063e828.png 757687397_HomecomingIcon.thumb.png.d5a74ad0354486819df3d48f809c9dfb.png

     

    We’ve also set up several social media channels - we’re not actively using these right now, but feel free to follow us for when we do!

    Finally, we’ll also be switching over to using homecomingcoh.com domain in the near future (with our short links moving to hccoh.gg). When we make the switch all existing links will continue to function with a redirect, but you will need to refresh your login cookies (ie: you’ll need to log in to the forum again).

    Looking for information about the hardest bosses in the game's history.

    Recluse's Victory, Ghost Widow.

     

    When RV was opened, there was a large group on Union who descended upon it looking for badges (thank you Sal for gathering so many lunatics in one channel...).

     

    The problem is, that GW in there had not only the usual high level AV regen, resistance, debuff resistance and all the usual stuff that made AV's a PITA to take down back then, she also has Dark Regeneration and Life Drain...  AoE's that heal her *per target hit*...

     

    When she's being mobbed by several teams of badge monkeys?

     

    There was no way to defeat her.

     

    I'm not sure if there was also the PvP zone inflicted nerf to player powers in effect also, since PvP has never been an interest of mine.

     

    But she'd take maybe 20% damage, then pop back up to full health.  I don't recall if she was ever actually taken down that evening or not.

    And her Mag 200 hold lol

    I have run this A LOT more since that post.  Getting comfortable being near the crackles and keeping up DPS is major important. We use a incarnate inspirations strategy. I burn two team reds and a team acc/dam when we summon lores. These are the big ones from luna.  After a couple crackled i do it again.  The whole league is similarly equipped and doing same/similar.  Avoid the crackle, keep DPS up.  I have also switched to an ice/cold Corruptor for most incarnate trials.  Pure DPS with a single target and AoE -res along with DoT Blizzard and Ice Storm work so well with Scourge.  Fully ranged and adding tovthe league’s ability to burn fast fast fast

    Ice/Cold Corruptors are awesome! They've got it all and can be built to solo AVs/GMs or make a lackluster team better with added def shields and glorious debuffs. The three targeted AOE powers are awesome too and recharge really fast.
