It is recommended that users switch to the Official Homecoming Launcher.

If you think that's bad, imagine having a full tray of inspirations then doing the time capsule run, only to remember at the end that the event grants unique inspirations 🤦♂️

Download the Official Homecoming Launcher and you won't have that issue. HC Launcher has three primary design goals: Speed, Security, and Compatibility. Speed: The launcher is supposed to get you into the game, it shouldn’t take any longer than absolutely necessary to fulfill this function. Tequila and several other launchers are based on .NET, and as a result have noticeably slow startup times on some systems. HC Launcher is designed not only for fast startup and faster patching, but also to avoid long and unnecessary file verification, or delays due to Internet latency. Security: This has been a frequent criticism of Tequila and its use of unauthenticated manifest files. By putting in a manifest file, you are in effect trusting the author of that manifest with complete access to the user account you’re running it under, since it can download and run arbitrary code. It also lacks protection against man-in-the-middle attacks, making it impossible to know if a malicious third party has hijacked the manifest. HC Launcher addresses all of those issues by using strong cryptography to verify the integrity of itself and everything it downloads. More details can be found in the technical deep dive post. Compatibility: HC Launcher is written in C and uses many of the same libraries as the game itself. As a result, it should run in any environment that is capable of running the game, such as wine on Linux/Mac, without any additional work. Important note: HC Launcher uses a different file layout for the client install, reorganizing it to make it easier to manage. As a result, it cannot coexist with Tequila and must be installed to a different location. By default it attempts to locate existing files to avoid having to redownload them, as well as migrate user data. More information about the new layout is available in the technical deep dive post.

Target HP and END numbers in the Target Window
Glacier Peak replied to Teirusu's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
I think expressing the number as a percentage makes for a less cluttered target window. Or make it optional like target distance. -
Target HP and END numbers in the Target Window
Glacier Peak replied to Teirusu's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
Will the numbers be percentage-based or not? -
Running this now on my main badger, will report results when complete.

Target HP and END numbers in the Target Window
Glacier Peak replied to Teirusu's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
Power Analyzer gives players this information as a non-percentage amount. Are you advocating for percentage-based to be shown in the target window? -
Were you solo or on a team?
-
They backwards engineered the Mediporter technology. They are a robust species with many willing citizens to support their cause. There's time travel shenanigans at work. I guess pick your headcannon.

I may be misrembering this, but I feel like it used to just be Log Out and Quit to Desktop in the very early legacy days. I'm all for rearranging though - it's only funny the first few times when you click the wrong one and the countdown is 0 seconds lol
-
The first question, yes. The second, you go through the arc and see who you have and then check who is left.

To further add to the original post, the Seed of Hamidon zone event grants a temporary XP boost power. The Cathedral of Pain does also. And there's an additional Day Job Temporary power that grants additional mission completion XP.

Variance between MIDS and game
Glacier Peak replied to LKN-351's topic in Mids' Reborn Hero Designer's Forum
Post the build - maybe you've got something toggled on? -
The VEATs are exactly what you're looking for - especially the Arachnos Widow. It's got better than Sentinel ranged and AoE damage, it's got Tank-levels of damage mitigation, it's got lockdowns and soft-controls, and you'll be able to solo +4/8 all content in the game or add fantastic buffs to any team with double stacked leadership buffs. Arachnos Widow can also be male.

Nobody is going to mention that Kheldians don't even get to use their Inherent unless they're on a team? Come on!

At the bottom of the Code of Conduct section for Multiboxing: Multiboxing Policy We allow a basic level of multiboxing on the Homecoming servers outside of peak times. These rules apply on a shard-by-shard basis (by ‘shard’ we mean Torchbearer, Excelsior, etc). If there are less than 1500 people logged in to a shard you may play with up to three accounts at once. If there are more than 1500 people logged into a shard you may only play with a single account. If you are caught multiboxing when there are between 1500 and 1600 players logged in to a shard, you will be warned and expected to log off immediately. If you ignore requests to do so your accounts will receive a 24h ban. If you are caught multiboxing repeatedly with more than 1600 players logged in to a shard, all of your accounts will receive immediate permanent bans. It is your responsibility to monitor server status and current player count if you wish to multibox. You can do this both on our website and in the #live-shards channel on our Discord. An exception to this rule is Hamidon raid zones (The Hive, The Abyss) which have a limited population cap. No multiboxing is allowed in these zones. Breaking this rule may result in all of your characters being removed from the zone and short-term suspensions being issued for repeat offenders Please note that this policy does not apply to groups of players simply playing from the same home/network. It only applies to individuals playing multiple accounts on their own.

There are are twenty five zones that provide Time Capsules spawns (they are using Winter event present spawn locations). These are spread across Hero, Villain, Praetorian, Co-op, and PvP zones, mind you. Each of these zones have upwards of fifty presents each. And these Time Capsules respawn in less than 8 minutes.
