So, this poster changed while I was poking around down here... Edit: The poster seems to be on a timer of some sort. I believe ~16 or so minutes but not sure. As an aside, Cobalt Arachne, how dare you use an unwrapped UV texture of a child's face. I'm going to be seeing this in my nightmares. Clicking it reveals the text below: Edit: I think the face might be on a time cycle? Maybe Day/Night. Nothing I did inside here seems to toggle it on or off. I tried doing /em kneel in front of the comfiest couch that specifically tells you to "Kneel, peasant!" but I'm not getting any feedback from anything. Edit 2: Something about Candy makes kids happy!!! keeps drawing my attention alongside the various other colored messages. I haven't seen people do it lately, but we used to call popping Inspirations "Eating Candy." Do we need to have the buffs from those Insps active in front of the face when it's red? Attempts to do so haven't yielded anything but maybe I'm not using the right combination.

Flat blank textured wall and floor, so people can create portrait studios or green screen studios.

It does seem to me that there is at least a conversation happening about keeping the existing T9s but introducing the new ones as a mutually exclusive choice. I could get behind that, because both seem to have proper uses. I know I take the T9s when I am leveling because it's a very nice Oh Shit button, whereas the new ones don't feel that way at all.

I do agree that if we aren't able to generate Opportunity out of combat, the ATO should get a buff to make it more attractive.

Oh, this is a pretty significant change. Vulnerability chaining to 5 targets definitely very welcome, but I wonder what the opportunity cost of using it versus just leaving Opportunity capped for the perma +40% crit chance would be.

Dr. Hetzfeld's "Part Five: ...Is Another Man's Treasure..." "Find and Kill Top Dog in the Tunnels" The final dialogue response with Riptide is set up wrong. There shouldn't be quotes at the start and it's missing end punctuation.

Incredibly late to the goodbye party, but I took a significant break for a while and got sucked back into some other games for a bit. I noticed immediately that I no longer saw your regular iTrials, and wanted to echo the others that you will be, and are, missed. Thank you and take care.

Icesphere has one in their dropbox that was added ~5 days ago!

Interrogator Kang, Imperial City Missing a space in the third paragraph.

Bravo and well done on one of the best TFs available in the game! The CRUNCH mechanic alone is brilliant, and the design of that train map and how you've staged all the enmies makes it very fun to play on and fight against. Never before have I enjoyed using Fold Space so much.

Gadgetry is still my number one most looked forward to power set. My main is all about smaller gadgets and technology and I will respec to use it the day it comes out.

Praetorian cyborg roboticist who stole two-bit villain's identity and redeemed it. Ex-Gold Bricker turned Hero after seeing the grass was in fact greener. Two-bit villain with a grudge against a Praetorian Interloper and a giant wrench who smacks his way up the ranks. Fox-boy mechanic fell through a dimensional hole and is looking for a way back. Arachnos Widow captured by Mother Mayhem on a recon mission turned Seer recovered back to Primal Earth. Bad combination of every time travel character and trope who lost his time machine and can't find it. Member of the 1960s Arachnos faction recently thawed after spending half a century on ice. Notorious Assassin made a deal with the devil and then disappeared from the Rogue Isles for a decade, came back with a vendetta against spiders. Resistance member turned Talon after idiot bombs water treatment plant. Dourf. Unrepentant Fae mingles with mortals to work off fairy debt. Spiders try to build a Victoria Droid, testing still in progress. Geneticist finds the answer to life's mysteries is to shove bits and pieces of them together and see what sticks. Gold Bricker Brute likes punchy things for King Midas. Genetic experiment slices and dices and makes you think you'd like to be on the receiving end. Space Pirate runs from Space Cops far after the age of piracy has ended. Literally just my character from The Matrix Online. Team Leader for a Portal Corps Expeditionary Force. Bane Spider really likes punching above his weight class.

While I don't agree that MMs are "completely useless" once we get into the Failure Vortex as nyttyn so succinctly put it, I do agree that our contributions are greatly diminished as all we do once we fall into that state is either keep refreshing buffs on the party (because we're trying to get our minions back up and running), or fall back and actually contribute nothing while we reset. That being said, some encounters force us into the Failure Vortex and there's not a whole lot we can regardless if we force a reset or not.

I do think the busywork of having to press it each time you swap targets is a bit much, but 10% isn't nothing to sneeze at. However, I do feel like it might be more efficient and fun to use if it were, say, on a 20s CD and you pressed it to attune to a bubble of targets around you. You'd still have to do work to keep it up, but it wouldn't feel like so much busywork when ST chewing through a pack of mobs.

I'd love to see the cratered, bombed out map from the "Whoa!" mission from the Fireball contact in Night Ward. It would make a lovely boss-in-a-box style map for an epic showdown with an AV.

Blind Makwa, the turn-in text after this second mission, is missing a space after the player's name.

I wonder if this is an unintended change to the MM pet update to ensure they're finally even con to the MM.

FFXIV does this with every single patch and it's a massive breath of fresh air in an industry (not just Homecoming) filled with trying to determine dev intent based on patch notes alone. Example from the most recent patch:

I wouldn't be adverse to choosing Vigilante or Rogue from the get-go and redefining what those actually means (i.e. not fallen hero or redeeming villain, but more something like anti-hero and anti-villain), but at the very start your character shouldn't be suddenly changing alignment outside of pure gameplay necessity and, as I said before, we have Null for that.

This is actually a fantastic idea, and one very doable with a simple texture swap. +1 to this idea!

You can simply go to Null the Gull if you need to do an alignment swap before 20.

The author of the article, Jeremy Peel, and by extension PCGamer, has absolutely nothing to gain and everything to lose by making up quotes from NCSoft for the benefit of Homecoming. What reason could they possibly have that would be a sufficient enough benefit to jeopardize their standing with NCSoft and every other gaming publisher to post illegitimate or misattributed quotes? Common sense alone should be enough to get folks over that hurdle that it makes far more sense for the quotes to be legitimate and NCSoft to have given their blessing. An author working at multiple respected publications isn't going to put his livelihood on the line for Homecoming. C'mon now.

My only hope is they see the love here and realize there are communities around all the games they've shuttered who would gladly do the same as Homecoming. I would give almost anything to return to Wildstar and run Datascape with my guild once again.

To be entirely fair, when I entered that thread, they were in the +20s on those comments (only one of the three TSpy devs participating in the thread are tagged as such in their flair) until people started calling them out.

Don't know, what I do know is that I called out said devs on the subreddit for directly attacking Cipher and making up conspiracy theories about HC infiltrating PC Gamer to manufacture a spokesperson from NCSoft to confirm their deal, and was subsequently permabanned for it. 🙂 So, eh. No big loss.
