Glacier Peak

Yep there's been a gapping hole in Siren's Call geometry since live, and while an attempted fix was made by the HC Team, it actually made the hole bigger and easier to get though in order to get below the zone.

You get the device to Penny, who in turn uses her psychic powers to destroy it. From the souvenir: "...if a powerful enough psychic were to order it to alter it's own history so that it would never work again, the threat could be neutralized, permanently. As Agent G explained, the amount of psychic power that would take would be beyond Aurora Borealis, but would be well within the limits of the most powerful known psychic on the planet: A girl named Penelope Yin..."

Thank you for putting in all that work and sharing it with the community.

Yeah, I hear ya. I love seeing the almost defeated Council enemy break out in to a giant werewolf. That's a story I'm interested in! Just like seeing Void Hunters in missions!

Interesting question. Technically, I think the system in place lets things like this go up to whatever level it wants. Then again, I've never seen or made it happen. 50+5 is as far as I've seen - but it used to be 50+3 as the cap, so I guess it could conceivably go higher.

I like that these pieces are easily destroyed. Makes me think of a bull in an antique store where everything is destroyed easily because the bull is so powerful. I just can't suspend disbelief if a canvas painting or clay pottery doesn't shatter instantly. THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME REALISM IN THIS MAKE BELIEVE WORLD!!! 🤣

I guess I never stopped and thought about it. Now that I have, I don't care one way or the other. This is a fictional game based on bits and pieces of real world history to provide just enough level of realism. At the end of the day, in this fictional world, I am a superpowered being that completes missions to gain influence and infamy (or in another dimension, information).

They are just patch notes. They'll get around to posting them when they have time. There wasn't an official list of the patch notes on the HC Discord, just mentioned in conversation. That's how Discord is. I'm confident the patch notes will be posted on these forums when they can.

Gosh darn economics! I want my super hero movies!

First Ward and Night Ward are on my list of zones I haven't yet conducted a search of any geometry errors or holes in the zone to pass through. It's a fun hobby, but it's time consuming!

Perhaps, but it's the only answer that has been provided to the problem the OP is describing. If the OP were willing to reform the team at a later date with someone who had holds or obtain the Security Chief Day Job Accolade and log out near a bank or police station to gain charges for the Tear Gas AoE Hold, their options would expand.

I remembered correctly! There was an old post that linked to an image of the event triggering, and this is what is seen when it happens:

Just barely beat the Archetype sub forum.

Yeah, COH is definitely operational over virtualization. I think I ran 10 instances over my own server using less than 16GBs of RAM and maaaaaaaybe 2 cores of my CPU? Maybe? Virtualization is the future man, just tell the program you got what it needs and the program doesn't know any difference between a physical system and a virtual one. I dunno how that works on modern stuff, but it works pretty universally (with the right software supporting) over virtualization.

I think I will add some context to @Without_Pause comments and try to steer it back to the topic of the thread. The HC team has been outputting awesome content for the past two years with fewer than a dozen developers (at least according those publicly stated on their Staff page). This makes me think of two things: 1) Wow, that is a really productive and creative bunch of volunteers, and 2) They care enough about this community to make sure the content they create is of the highest standard. That standard is secured through a combination of time and effort on behalf of the developer team, but also from the players in the community who choose to play test, break, and find exploitive or unintended behavior - so that when the goodies hit the shelves (costumes, powersets, missions, etc.), the community can be confident the content is true to the spirit of the game.

Right! I mean I took breaks because it cost money and sometimes I just didn't have enough to justify the sub, but now that it's back and FREE I'm picking up what you're putting down.

Taser Dart has you covered. You can purchase from the P2W Vendors. Origin powers.

Try reducing your particle effects count down to minimum.

Yeah what @GM Impervium said. Also these threads that asked same questions over the past few weeks:

The Advanced Difficulty Mode has been discussed on these forums and on the official HC Discord. Other stuff has also been alluded to in separate forum posts. (Examples: Warriors revamp, screenies of tentative content, bug fixes). Edit: Now that I found them, screenies in the spoilers:

I dunno. Not for or against this. I remember trying out the pool powers for this when I was using the dev console on my private server and it was janky. If you're talking about implementing them as fixed powers then heck yeah!

I was actually a huge fan of the introduction of the court of owls in the mid-2010s run of Batman. It was a satisfying new take on not just a Batman villain group, but one that had so much history in Gotham and could be plausibly believed to have such power. My appreciation for Batman content goes: Comics (when he's not fighting an interdimensional god, like seriously these are the worst issues) Animated Series and animated films (Kevin Conroy is the voice of Batman!! And Mark Hamill is the Joker voice - this is not up for debate) Video Games (Arkham series, but there have been a lot of duds/stinkers) Live Action version (Films have been hit and miss. I hated that they made Batman such a focus in the CW Gotham show, I would've loved to have just watched a series about Detective Gordon as he rose up through the ranks)
