    Will the Praetorian special costume contest be moved to a different date or will there be two back-to-back Homecoming Contests?

    Praetorians can enter the zone through the use of the TUNNEL System, through the Long Range Teleporter during the event or through the Pocket D manhole on the western edge of the Magisterium neighborhood at (-3975.4, 33.9, -196.3) and then through the van on the Hero side.

    Looking for the bespoke marching soldiers on Mercy Island.  Would appreciate some guidance here.

     

    EDIT: Found a trio of ally marching soldiers in Fort Cerberus near Ghost Widow's tower.  I can follow them and cast Rebirth on them.  But they have no damage, so no healing is done.  How can this be made to work?

     

    I'm using Rebirth Partial Radial Invocation.  Would using a Rebirth with  +MaxHP do the trick?

    The big group you want is directly behind the spawn point for new characters in Mercy, up the ramp past the P2W vendor and to the right, over by Dollface lady. Sometimes there are groups of three sometimes all six are there. 

     

    And you want the +Max HP on auto cast while on a strikeforce or Ouro mission so you don't get logged out afk.

    I think the real plot hole that needs addressed here is...

     

    Spoiler

    If only the worthy can lift Mjolnir, why is Captain Marvel still breathing? Shouldn't the weight of a dying star collapsing create enough force to prevent her diaphragm from expanding to inhale air? I NEED ANSWERS PEOPLE, HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO SUSPEND DISBELIEF! 🤣

    Id have to go in the mission again but last time it looked like the seed and avatar were 3d models moving around but the tentacles appeared to be 2d animated on the background.

     

    But i doubt anyone will be getting up close without GM commands.  Ive gone all over that map and while the terrain is optional,  the water and force field are solid.  Without the discovery of some new clipping bug it wont be happening.

    Agreed. I was able to get under both islands on the map, but due to the water like you said, it was all for naught. My assumption is that there is more than just a 2D render of the tentacles, perhaps even a base with a head. Then again, I could just be hoping for something that doesn't exist in the game files.

    I'd like to see a plot where "villainous" factions—Arachnos, Crey, heck, maybe even the Family if they have the resources—come in and start rebuilding devastated areas of Paragon City.  New Boomtown, brought to you by Arachnos?  Faultline Reborn, a Crey Industries Development?  What happens when an organization with evil goals mounts a PR campaign based on fixing problems that have festered under "heroic" leadership?  Could be some interesting stories there.

     

    (Come to that, what is the leadership of Paragon City?  Is there a mayor?  A city council?  Weird that the governance structure of a city of heroes never seems to be mentioned.)

    Paragon City has a Mayor, and they are a fictionally a part of the State of Rhode Island. Assuming the fictional world's government structure matches that of the real world, they would also likely have a city council. In fact, there are numerous missions scattered throughout the Hero side that requires saving city councilors.

     

    As for who their current Mayor is, that remains to be seen. In 2005, it was Mayor Morales. The Mayor of Paragon City during the early 20th Century, was Michael James "Spanky" Rabinowitz, who maintained control of the city’s politics for nearly thirty years. Other parts of the in-game like Croatoa, have their own Mayor.

    Maybe I just never took a good look around, but all I remember seeing in that mission was the Avatars and Seeds in the distance and then individual tentacles rising up over the tree-tops way out beyond the sonic fences.  Not sure there's a Hamidon "body" to see there even if you could noclip around.

    Yeah, my assumption is that it's back there and that somebody has managed to snag a screenie of it.

    Simple request... for a friend 😅

     

    The three instances I am aware of are during the... 

    Spoiler
    • Provost Marchand (Primal Earth) story arc A New Dimension, A New Team mission, "Rescue Praetor White," where the player can see the Praetorian Hamidon from a distance behind blue zone walls, along with many Seeds of Hamidon and Avatars of Hamidon.
    • Inside Information Villain Tip mission, "Investigate the Dying Praetoria,' where the map is the same as the above mission.
    • Third mission 'The New Champion,' from Number Six during the Praetoria's Last Gasp story arc (though this is likely another avatar of the Hamidon, perhaps his pre-incarnate form) 

     

    ... and this dramatized (likely) version on one of the billboards in Praetoria.

    Short of booting up my own server running Ourodev, then noclipping through the map, I dunno how I can get a good picture of the creature.

    A Question from The Homecoming Team

    My only complaints for areas of improvement are specific areas of improvement for specific archetype set roles. 

    For example, to name a few, from my perspective:

    • Electric Blast powerset's -END drain is actually quite effective on a Defender (when slotted), but is highly useless on a Blaster or Sentinel. -END also has to be paired with -Recovery to be truly effective.  Electric Blast would be much better with a different secondary effect, such as: 1) if it stunned (mez with a low mag but could be stacked) or 2) if it chained (additional damage to nearby targets).

    Something like this huh? I was just thinking about this the other day. Heat Loss from Cold Domination makes me feel more like an end drainer than anything else I've played with.
