Glacier Peak

Great summation of Burn's nerf! Superb ending to your post, you could've even argued it was damage.... over... time 😆

Banished Pantheon...... band 😎

Badging itself is the reward. I'm serious. Players receive a badge for completing a specific requirement. The player receives the dopamine release and the in-game character attains a reward.

Yes! That was a change made in either the last page or the previous before that. We went through and tested Stealth with every Costume temp to make sure.

The differences I noticed was his health pool is larger and his pets hit a little harder. Edit: And he give thicc merits

Zombie events are rumored to also be triggered by redeeming costume temps from the Halloween vendors, but the source provides no citation nor confirmation from developers. https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/Granny_Beldam "Zombie Apocalypse: Redeeming costume salvage with Granny Beldam appears to trigger a 20% chance for a Zombie Apocalypse event in both a hero and a villain zone. However, this has not been confirmed by a developer."

It only counts door costume drops for credit.

There was talk of something like this, but it's probably been put on the back burner.

You don't have to fight this enemy if you don't want the badge. You literally have to ignore moving forward with the mission and make a series of intentional choices to summon it.

Interesting! The only Empathy power I didn't take was Resurrection.

Not sure how the weekend is looking just yet, but I'm going to start drafting the brackets and writing the how to for the Arena badges I mentioned ingame. The really annoying ones to snag - Tournament Victor and Swiss Pentad.

Day and night cycle, man I guess I never notice these things but yeah. Darkness 24/7 would be different.

Man! I was so close! Yeah, I remember when you said previously, I was like 'oh yeah Storm used to be hella awesome in 1v1 PvP, bet that had something to do with it.'

I guess I never noticed! Wow, do any of the Shadow Shard zones have day and night cycles? I know Pocket D does.

Oh I know this one! Bah, but I can't remember. I know you've said it before in a previous post. Was it Tornado from Storm Summoning?

Nice! I snagged the screenie from the wiki too for context. Edit: Before any character enters the haunted house, an optional boss may be spawned and fought. First, speak to the Devil Girl in the graveyard to the left of the house. Then speak to the Bored Gal (Madame Maven) and Bored Guy (Halox Von Horn) in the gazebos on opposite sides of the mansion. Finally, return to the Devil Girl and fight The Black Whip.

Yeah, I mean sometimes I take for granted that I can so easily log in without any issues, instantly start doing whatever I want, whether its story arcs, flashbacks, solo or team play, badging, end game content, pvp, searching for bugs or geometry errors, etc. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has taken pause when hearing the awesome Atlas Park music again for the first time, but it is good to have this game - this stress reliever for some or socialization for others (really both for me). And it's free! And the folks running the show listen to what the community wants! I think the COH franchise is in a better place now than it ever was on live (though I did enjoy the larger population!).

And it's been done over a little over two and a half years! And it's consistent too.

I was looking through some patch notes the other day to see when a change was implemented and I ended up going down the rabbit hole of looking through all of the stuff Homecoming has done since the Issue 25 branch, well really since Issue 26. It's enormous! It's seriously impressive! The lists of things implemented, the changes to powers, the roll backs, the buffs, the nerfs, the QoLs, the story arcs, the player events, the community events, the playability (looking at you HC Launcher), the sheer openess, or really accessibility to everything in the game.... wow! Even if you don't agree with or like some of the changes, you have to admit they have done an incredible amount of work. Just for fun, take a look at Issue 26 and it's 5 pages. And Issue 27 and it's (soon to be) 3 pages. https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/Issue_26 https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/Issue_27 These volunteers are seriously dedicated fans of the game and I am grateful each time I log in. I just wanted to say that, I'm sure other folks have their take.

Yeah I get that. There have been MM changes since 2019, in fact they may even be beneficial, but I can't say that with certainty like @M3z could since I have never PvPed with one.

Oddly enough, the PvP discord build spreadsheet doesn't have a Thug/Poison MM listed on it. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FNejy_CHV4Khr9dy3m7wn8-J0OARwrSbHcKmkBRuG1Y/edit#gid=0

I absolutely love when people don't reinvent the wheel and can use content already created by others! And you brought it all together for the ease of convenience! Great stuff!

Bring back leveling pacts!

I agree that Absorb Pain is overkill in 99% of use cases (outside of PvP and endgame content). It doesn't need buffed, if anything the damage to the caster should scale to the amount healed. The rest of the set works amazing in 99% of the content as well.

I'll be there as well. I can assist in anyway as I already have all the PvP badges. I have a healer on separate account if we need, or I have my namesake, which really helps with -regen on AVs. Names of my characters if you see them are: Glacier Peak Empirical Psychochronokinesis
