I agree with this, but I made my suggestion knowing full well the shortfalls of the game mechanic. Perhaps increasing the player base interest in this game mechanic via my suggestion would lead to a higher priority of our awesome volunteer dev team and HC staff towards addressing these issues. Thanks for your reply!

I completely grasp the divide you mention between those two player bases, but I am an exception to that observation. I love badging and I love PvP. Both are really enjoyable to me in this game. I can see how my suggestion may alter how you and others play this fun game, so I would definitely support a compromise to give those dissenting players a voice and show of support.

While I agree that PvP isn't particularly popular in this game, the suggestion wasn't to add zones, it was to change existing and underutilized zones in to ones which supported and incentivized player visits. I believe there is a Level 11 cap for using the Ouro portal, (and Level 15 for the Ouro flashback content). That is in line with my suggestion of Echo: Galaxy City being a Level 15-30 zone.

Thanks for the reply.

We actually have four PvP zones, but you're right about their underutilization - though I would argue that is due to many reasons outside the scope of my suggestion. And I like your idea regarding making Echo zones co-op. Ultimately, I would support most anything which incentivized players to visit these zones more.

I love these zones as well. My suggestion my is aimed to promote more foot traffic in to said zones. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

This is a suggestion, based on my opinion. I expect people to disagree or feel strongly about this suggestion, so I look forward to the discussion. I love the look of these old zones and enjoyed them so much back on live just as much. It was surprised to see them tucked away in the back Ouro portal (or base porters) when I started playing on HC. Since they don't have contacts or system functions (tram to other zones, arena, AE, auction houses, etc.) they would be easy zones to switch with little time or resource investment. They could all be switched to Player versus Everything zones (including other players, like Warburg). I'd say Echo: Galaxy City would be a great Level 1-15 zone. Echo: Faultline would work with Level 15-30 (imagine those huge drops off the sides of the tall cracks with a knockback!). Echo: Dark Astoria Level could be 30-49 ( imagine that awesome zone with the music and ambience!). I say cap at Level 49 to give a high level PvP zone without Incarnates. PROS: "New" Zones for PvP Gives players another reason to visit the zone besides gathering the exploration and history badges. CONS: ??? Let's hear it!

Help us help you: If you encounter a negative person please block or ignore them; do not escalate the situation by engaging them yourselves. If their behaviour continues, please report them (see ‘Violations and Consequences’ below). And this Code of Conduct rule was ignored by @Unagi. Now that everyone's dirty laundry is seen, let's get back to badging!

Ah that's great! Fastest character, I was always excited to pick her up because she added more turns for me, great magic stats, and decent secondary healer. Oh boy that was a tough addition to master though! I'm working on a Haschel homage now. For some reason I renamed that character, thinking it was too close / not a homage, but then the name got snapped up on every server within the week lol.

You can have as many as your computer can handle logged in as long as the server player count is under a certain number. Edit: Well on second glance, the Code of Conduct says if there are 1500 or less folks on a shard, you're limited to 3 accounts. It doesn't scale down either, which seems strange. There's like 150 people on Reunion at the time of this posting, but with the CoC in mind, that means only 3 accounts logged in at once as the cap. Oh well, I'll play by their rules, I'm happy to play at all.

Really great use of different pieces in all the costumes you posted!

Great progress! Welcome and keep up the badging!

@Noyjitat You quoted GM Miss explicitly saying <5 second gifs are okay. What are you misunderstanding?

Good source! There was more from @Spiderin the post so I thought I would add it to this one:

Yeah it is neck and neck with my two healers pushing their single target heal, but if you get the recharge high enough and you add in an incarnate self heal on your badge character, it tends to shore up the gap. I have ran the farm for up to 10 hours without having to reset due to a death. My badger is also hp capped as well. As for IO sets, it's likely they are helping as well on my healers. Both have already received Empath just from healing my badger lol Edit: I failed to mention I also set up a level 50 Ouro mission that way nobody gets timed out. I used Clear Mind/BFs to get out of immobilization from Rest and then move my badger in to that position. The PvP build for the Ice/Cold should come with a caveat - debuffing is second to damage in PvP right now. In some rare 1v1s (mostly against melee characters) and other debuffers will it come out on top, but if it is facing a damage centric AT or build, it hasn't proved advantageous. The biggest reasons is a lack of a dedicated self heal (though I picked up the temp from the P2W vender and the Incarnate destiny self heal).

@Giovanni Valia The one I use is on the back side of the burning building, located at: -2388.6 239.0 -102.6. As noted with the big red arrow, by standing in between these two patches you take both their damage aura. I wanted to verify this spot again after I posted, so I did two runs. My average was 2,079,048 damage taken per hour. Therefore, using this method, it would take approximately two days (48 hours) to complete all of the damage taken badges.

Actually Incarnate?

To all volunteers of the Homecoming staff who put this entire event together and spent their free time making these individual events possible, thank you. Especially considering all of the real world stuff happening. You owe us nothing, we are grateful that this server even exists, let alone that you provide us with things to do and updates to the game. Please ignore the people who act like they are owed the world. They do not know how to appreciate what they have. Thank you

Can't enter the Arena that's in Echo: Galaxy City, so no Duelist badge from that.

Perfect! This was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

@AboveTheChemist Thank you for the info. I am trying to hunt Caleb, but wasn't sure what time it was in game.

What is the slash command that tells you what time it is ingame?

Did you get an accolade awarded by switching alignment, (HPT to FPRM) but not from collecting all the prerequisite badges?

/bind ` "inspexec_name enrage$$inspcombine respite enrage$$inspcombine catch_a_breath enrage$$inspcombine insight enrage$$inspcombine sturdy enrage$$inspcombine luck enrage" Turn off the insps you don't see in this bind. (i.e. awaken, breakfrees, all tier 2 and 3 and teams inspr, etc.) Edit: I use the ' key for my insp combine button, but if you want a different key, just replace that.

Were the villain epics around during this time? Possible triple stamina??
