Glacier Peak

I remember spending the first hour or so logged in just listening to the game music, especially after creating the first character and walking up the steps to Ms. Liberty. Enjoy! Welcome back!

Oh and if memory serves me right, the last highest was around 2,000 individuals online back in April or May of 2019.

If you hop on to the main landing page of the forums, just scroll all the way to the bottom. You'll see number of accounts created and number of users, anonymous, and Guests on the site as well (this applies to the mobile site as well).

Edit: [Screenshot of guest count exceeding 5,000 was removed due to image storage space constraints] What gives???

Anecdotally, those AVs can be defeated by pulling them close to hero/villain bases. Lots of npcs spawning to assist in damage and aggro.

@Techwright always bringing the deep cuts! I think I'd rather just read your write up than watch the show 😁

I like to have a challenge in my encounters, especially for AVs/Heros that spawn at level 20 or higher. The added -1 thru +4 depends on how much health I want them to have. If my character needs a boost, I'll use whatever means to improve (Shivans/Signature Summons/Longbow Mech, etc., Warburg Nukes, temporary powers, inspirations, dual boxing support, kiting/pulling, accolade powers, etc). The only thing I haven't used are geometry breaks, because, aside from trying to solo Hamidon, it breaks the veil of fun for me. To each their own! 🙃

@brigg dropping an awesome compilation of costumed characters from the Comic Con Fire Farm:

The third episode...

The irony in your response speaks volumes...🤣

Oh I misunderstood the topic of this post. I thought you were asking for casual observations about PvP.

Damage is king, the community is self policed, and fun is subjective.

This hasn't happened in the two years I have been playing on the Homecoming servers. I definitely isn't the norm and it is not something that the Homecoming team has any control over. The fact that you used quotes around 'cheap out,' makes me think you are implying that there is a lack of diligence on behalf of the Homecoming team, which is wholly inaccurate.

Patience

Wow Katana! That's awesome. I really gotta get to one of these weekly events. Thanks for bringing the updates AA!

These are good points @Greycat and @Hedgefund. I am assuming it would not take a lot of effort on behalf of our volunteers to make this change, but as both of you have pointed out, this suggestion wouldn't really change the player experience enough to justify itself. Well they can't all be winners! Thanks for providing input, I have nothing further to add.

I follow what you're saying - the reason not to change the time is the reason not to change the time. Four hours feels like a long enough time to do whatever is required during the trial - okay, fair enough that is a reason not to change the time requirement. Would you agree that same reason not to change the time also applies to a reason to change the time? I mean if it doesn't affect normal players, speed runners, or what have you, then that sounds like it isn't detrimental to the game experience of many players.

Good post idea! I'll go next: I want to thank @TraumaTrain, @Jaxman100, @Midnyte, @FrauleinMental, @TygerDarkstorm@Bananiac, @TrixieKixx AND @EmmySkyfor their weekly themed task force/strike force engagements. Many of the folks who participate post screenshots of the event. The reason I bring that up is because I've never participated for various reasons, but I always find myself checking out their shenanigans each week. Perhaps a vicarious sense of community, as I don't team very often and because it's a bit of a drag pulling together folks on Indomitable. Anyways, they have a fan and perhaps one day I'll sign up for a themed event.

Plain and simple suggestion - the second mission of the Eden Trial (2 of 2) has a four hour time limit. If memory serves me correctly, this was added to prevent farming the map way back in the day when there was not an aggro limit. My suggestion is to remove the timer and the reasons for and against are below: Cons: Removes a motivator for teams to quickly proceed through each objective to reach the final Titan monster. Pros: Gives players an opportunity to enjoy a unique map; badging runs will secure a number of Devouring Earth related badges, abundance of enemies gives players an opportunity to farm (though the enemies are not particularly kind to farming), spelunking(?)/exploring the map. So that is my suggestion - any posters have more reasons for or against this?

If the changes to Moment of Glory were implemented as you suggest, the power would need to be renamed to "More than a Moment of Glory." Seriously though, 15 seconds is plenty of time.

Damn these are some deep thoughts!

Isn't that like a $200 dollar mouse?
