[Two-Factor Authentication]

Thanks Lunar!  I'll look into that.  I was talking about the game client, but it's good to know I can (and will) enable it here.

Thanks for your kind attention, Crumpet.  I've opened a separate topic for this in the suggestions forum instead.

Out of curiosity, is there any investigation being done to include some form of 2FA into CoH?  While I doubt Homecoming is a significant target for hackers and whatnot, and influence selling (peddling?) is not really a thing in the game, it still represents a risk...

[The game is not remembering my settings for Recharge Timer.]

@GM Crumpet Thank you very much for the response, and that makes complete sense.  I've already made the switch to the Homecoming Launcher and was surprised to find it much easier than the wiki implied.  It actually copied everything over from my Tequila folder, so the install was a breeze!

 

Out of curiosity, and I know I'm wondering a bit off-topic here, but do you know if there's been any impetus to add 2FA to the login system?

[The game is not remembering my settings for Recharge Timer.]

Ah.  That would explain it.  I am, indeed, still using Tequila.  I have to say that it is irritating that they took something that was working with Tequila and "improved" it in a way that made it not work anymore.

 

Thank you for the response!

[The game is not remembering my settings for Recharge Timer.]

I have been repeatedly changing my recharge timer settings from >15 seconds to Always and Minutes & Seconds to Minutes & Seconds with Fractions, but the game will not remember these changes after I log out, even if I hit the Save Options to File button and the Save Window Settings file.  I checked and I do not see those files being changed back after I log in, so I don't think something's reverting them.

 

Before the recent patch, this was not an issue.  I set it once and the game remembered it across all of my characters.

 

Can someone please help me resolve this?  It's getting frustrating doing this over and over again...

[Bug in Energy Aura for Sentinels]

In Mids, for the Sentinel Energy Aura powerset, the Power Armor power allows slotting Heal/Absorb enhancements and sets in the game, but Mids does not allow it.  Furthermore, it is probably miscalculating the extra hit points provided by this power.  I can provide screenshots, if need be.

[Phantom Stack of Enhancement Converters]

I am having an odd problem where my UI is showing two stacks of "Enhancement Converter":

 

The stack with 7 does not appear to actually exist, but that's what shows up in the Convert window:

 

I am pretty sure that the stack with 1 in it is correct (since I just bought 1) and that the stack with 7 in it is what I had when I logged in.  I had done some conversions before this and noted that the "Owned" count in the Convert window was not decreasing.

 

If I attempt to do an in-set conversion (requiring 3 converters) with the game in the state as it is above, it allows me to click the "Convert" button, but it returns my enhancement unconverted and the following message shows in the logs:

 

I was not in my SG base at the time this issue occurred (I was in the University in Steel Canyon).  I cannot recall doing anything notably unusual in the time leading up to the incident, though I did perform a respec before heading off to work on enhancements.

 

This will probably go away when I log off or change characters, but I thought I would surface the issue for the devs.

Most ranged cones hit 10 targets.  Sentinel cones hit 6. 

Most ranged sphere attacks hit 16.  Sentinel spheres hit 10. 

Well, good thing I eschewed Breath of Fire, then.  Any idea on PBAOEs (*coughInfernocough*)? Also, big thanks for the info!  Given the lack of documentation for Sentinels, this is super important to know!

I was working off some memory this morning and I went too harsh on the commentary.  So I need to go back and fix that.  Thank you for point that out!

Glad to help!  🙂

Sentinels as a whole have lower target caps on AoE powers and this cuts the target caps on cones by half.

I was, I must admit, a bit disheartened to read this, given how my fire/fire is built.  Is the target cap half on all AOEs, or is it different for targeted / location / PBAOE vs cones?

[Collaborative Project: A Guide to Sentinel Sets]

Is it cool if I do a review of the fire secondary set?  I've just gotten my fire/fire Sentinel to 50 and I think I have a pretty good grasp of the set...

 

Plus, I really want to do a fireside chat... about fire!  😄
