    Probably not whomever "merged" the Best Costume threads, Channel2's thread getting imported to here from

    General and mine which was already here simply being deleted didn't strike me as the best way to accomplish that. rFYv2e1c_o.gif

     

    Not sure who decides that either. I actually don't know many of the devs here as I don't venture out of

    the art forums all that often and they rarely stop by. */e shrug* You got any ideas @Glacier Peak?

    Unfortunately, I do not. I looked for any GMs currently browsing the forums, but have not heard back.

    Glacier is this just a thread of people sharing their favorite videos? Cuz that thread already exists you just added Super to teh title? Not sure that we couldnt but now we can again is reason enough for a whole new thread. 

    Hear, hear! @DJ1. If a GM (perhaps @GM Widower?) would like to merge these two threads (and perhaps sticky?), I would be supportive. Of course, double check with @Christopher Robin if that is okay.

    (Thanks for the shout-out @Glacier Peak!)

     

    Here's a couple twitch streams I've been enjoying. Both are pretty min/max orientated...

     

    @BlackHearted is one of Everlasting's raid leaders. Their channel is regular with streams of hardcore PvE stuff like Hami Raids, ITrials, Speed TFs, etc. Can check their channel out, here:
     

     

    @CR Banana Man is one of the PvP community reps. His channel has some interesting videos on PvP and farming. He's got a few videos where he does "POV Reviews" of videos other PvPers have sent him. (I.e. He watches other people play, and then critiques what they should have been doing differently.) Fascinating stuff from one of the most knowledgeable PvPers in the game. Can check out his channel, here:

     

     

    Great finds! One of my favorite things about video games is watching other people do something unique and then trying my best to replicate or even make it better. Whether that is finding a niche build or beating a mission or trial faster using a modified strategy, or getting my farmer more efficient, these kinds of videos are a great way to learn and chill.

  4. Is there a dev tool setting that increases or maximizes the render distance/object quantity? I am curious if there is, and if said dev or GM has a powerful enough system, could they manage to get everybody in a contest like this? 

     

    I use /visscale # (where the number ranges from lowest of 1, to highest of 20). Would that help render more players or is that just objects/geometry?

  5. This last page update changed the leaping powers:

    • Jump_LongJump.png.965618363ac8f16e7cc32209f5ee6b1c.png Super Jump and ForceofWill_MightyLeap.png.68958a297bf392684d4f96375d0e0a27.png Mighty Leap increase your jump speed cap by 30%, from 78.2mph to 101.8mph

    Additionally,

    • ForceofWill_Stomp.png.d2ed9aec030afaa6250005e989685a11.png Mighty Leap > Takeoff
      • Now increases jump speed cap by a further 10% (to 110.39mph) and boosts Mighty Leap to put you at the jump speed cap for 30 seconds
        • Previously this bonus was just under 20%, but it now stacks with the 30% bonus from Mighty Leap

  6. On the topic of the thread itself, and has been repeated already, these things won't become a problem as long as we can self police our own community. See a player violating the code of conduct? Report it to an in-game GM or through the forums, or on Discord (often found to be the quickest response in my experience). After that, it will be dealt with as the Homecoming staff see fit. If it keeps happening (there will always be another), they've made clear they are open to reversing the policy like they've done in the past.

     

    I think anything past this point is supposition and only mildly entertaining.

    uh, @Homecoming Team (actually, there's an idea . . . )
    To be clear, we're supposed to be branding this server as:

    Homecoming:  City of Heroes

    Right?
    I noticed the recent Massively articles are still doing it the other way around.  I don't know how much of a sticking point this kind of brand distinction is, but I just wanted to clarify.

     

    Yeah that's what I read: State of the Project - August 2020

    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.

  8. Yeah, so far after watching a couple of different streams on Twitch for City of Heroes: Homecoming, I think the streamers are doing the game justice on the platform. I especially enjoyed the past weekend's costume contest/monster mash - great way to show the community that we've built off to prospective future players!

     

    Edit: Oh I just remembered, there wasn't any apparent indication for the game between different servers. Some folks were streaming Rebirth, others Thunder Spy, etc. I am hoping down the road, in the not so distant future that the platform will have a specific City of Heroes: Homecoming game instead of the generic City of Heroes (or Going Rogue).
