There's been talk of a potential Asia-Pacific server in the future, but I wouldn't plan on it - total player count from Asia + Oceania in the past 24 hours is about 700, as opposed to 3,000 from Europe and 20,000 from North America, so there just isn't a playerbase to support it, unfortunately.

Character renames are infinite.

Well, since there's another topic to discuss this and the OP has deleted his post, go there instead.

Restart Tequila.

Titan Network tells me that today would be the 123rd birthday of a certain Marcus Cole.

Check your CoH directory and make sure that read-only is not selected in properties, that usually fixes things. If not, make sure Tequila is in your CoH folder.

Yes, which is why we put announcements here, ask for feedback here, and direct suggestions here.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. noun 1. a person who presents stories in a way that is intended to provoke public interest or excitement, at the expense of accuracy. "sensationalists got their kicks out of misreporting the murder" I'd say exaggerating the context to invoke a moral argument about domestic violence could be considered a form of sensationalism. I did not say knock it off just for my own amusement. Please do not ignore GM warnings in the future, both of you. Locking now.

If Tequila is very very broken, then you've got two options. 1) Make a shortcut to Tequila, right-click and select properties, add -m http://patch.savecoh.com/manifest.xml in the Target line, and see if it lets you in. 2) Download Cream Soda, add the manifest patch.savecoh.com/manifest.xml, patch and play.

Actually, Discord channels will keep their entire history... it's just a pain in the neck to read them compared to a forum. (Of course, a suitably old and well-used forum can be a pain in the neck to dig through as well, but we're a long, long way off from that point.) Okay, call me ignorant. How easily searchable is it? How organized is it? Because, from what I've seen, there's channels, and each channel is like one giant "thread", and it's hard to follow a conversation when it's not partitioned out into topic-specific threads. Searchable, yes, if you can remember an exact phrase or who started the line of conversation you want to read. Organized, not at all, for exactly the reason you give.

Can we knock it off with the personal attacks, please?

If you're using Tequila, just restart it. If you're using Cream Soda, use Tequila.

All I can say is that this isn't the final version, but I'll be sure to pass that on.

With respect, plenty of people have objected to these changes, and we're going into round three of testing soon enough, based largely on player feedback. If you have something constructive to say, say it and it will be heard. If all you're going to do is levy personal attacks against the devs, then you aren't going to get anywhere, same as any game. (And yes, there are plans for new content, but that takes time. It's been a little over a month.)

Hi all, We're currently tracking down a crash that occurs upon zoning into Brickstown, usually from the tram or south IP entrance. If you've experienced this crash, we'd like to see your graphics settings. Please post them here or send me them, preferably in picture form, in a PM on the forum or on Discord. (Also, if you're stuck in Brickstown because of this, let us know and we'll pull you out.) Thanks, Widower

Because your account was created after Justin was spun up, it's not currently in the database there and won't be until the server is wiped next. You'll just have to play on the live servers instead. I'm sorry I don't have better news for you!

Okay, let's cool it with the hyperbolics in here.

No, Tequila is just slow - it's 176 MB.

Double click on Homecoming and you can play on Live.

The word according to our good friend Telephone:

A good idea, especially since the OP appears to have deleted their account. Locking.

Did you patch? Restart Tequila and make sure it patches, then try again.

Use /altinvite.

Read Here for Issue 25 Consolidated Patch notes for changes implemented prior to Homecoming launch 05/16/19 GENERAL [*]Halcyon has been renamed to Reunion (EU). [*]For the next week each account will be given 20 transfer tokens every 3 days to allow for easier migration. [*]The XP Boosters in Super Packs have been replaced with charges of the Experienced power (which grants Patrol XP). [*]Moved the Respec Recipe from the Merit Vendor (formerly 50 Reward Merits) to P2W (10 million influence). [*] Completing a Morality Mission now rewards 30 merits regardless of whether the player switched, reinforced, or double-reinforced their alignment. [*]The costume change delay timer has been lowered to 15 seconds. CUSTOM XP RATES [*]The base XP rate on all shards is now back to 100% (AE rewards still halved outside of Dev Choice content). [*]You can now acquire +25%, +50%, and +100% XP boosters for free from the P2W Vendor (or the Transact 4 Victory vendor in Praetoria). [*]These boosters will reduce your inf income by the same amount they boost your XP gain. [*]The boosters last for 1 hour of in-game time, but you can acquire up to 8 hours at a time. [*]The boosters stop working immediately at level 50 - Veteran Levels must be earned normally. [*]The boosters can be deleted from the Powers window (right click > Delete Power). [*]Please note that this is an experimental feature, it may be altered or removed without notice. POWERS [*]Beta Decay (Tanker, Scrapper, Brute, Blaster): the "first target" 10% recharge buff should no longer erroneously stack for all foes in range. The 2.5% per target recharge buff will continue to stack as expected. Max recharge buff with 10 targets should be +35%. [*]Beta Decay (Blaster): Will now require a target for it's "first target" 10% recharge buff to be applied. [*]Bio Armor > Evolving Armor: Fixed a bug where the stacking portion of the buff was overlapping 50% of the time. [*]Frost Bite: Fixed a bug with the damage scale for this power which caused it to heal targets. [*]Paragon Police > Call for Backup: this power will no longer endlessly summon PPD reinforcements. It previously attempted to limit itself to 3 uses by doing weird things with Stealth which didn't work; it now uses the Meter attribute. [*]AV Purple Triangles now provide protection against OnlyAffectsSelf. BUG FIXES [*]The PPD in Kings Row will no longer infinitely multiply using the "Call for Backup" power. [*]Patrol XP should now work again. It was not compatible with server-wide XP buffs. 05/09/19 [*]Arenas Enabled [*]Salvage Market seeded to keep costs down: 10K for common salvage, 100K for uncommon salvage, 1M for rare salvage, and 50K for a Brainstorm Idea 05/07/19 General [*]All servers now set to +50% XP Boost [*]There was an issue with Respecs granted from leveling badges; they were following the old limit of holding a maximum of 3 respecs at a time, which means you got the respec for levels 10, 20 and 30 but not 40 and 50. This should be fixed now [*]Added free respec for all due to the cooldown issue and the level 40 badge not awarding a respec (may take a day or two to arrive) [*]Fixed the infinite cooldown bug affecting some powers Tasks [*]Arcs marked Developer's Choice in Architect Entertainment will no longer be affected by the Architect XP reduction (This is an experimental change, and may not work as expected - in the event of bugs, we’ll work on fixes) [*]The minimum level for Positron TF Part 1 has been lowered to 8 Badges [*]As the #badge-hoarders have noted, Echo: Faultline did not have any exploration badges. This patch fixes that oversight, returning three badges that were in the original Faultline zone before Issue 8 to Echo: Faultline, and adding 8 new exploration badges and a zone accolade [*]Moved "Newsman", "Faultless Mystic" and "Apex" from Faultline to Echo: Faultline [*]Added "Riveting", "Upcycled" and "Rock Bottom" to Faultline [*]Added "Forsaken", "Pristine", "Claim Denied", "Spare Parts" and "Dug Too Deep" to Echo: Faultline [*]Added "Epicenter", Echo: Faultline zone accolade. [*]Added "Fashion Victim" for spending 50,000,000 inf on the tailor. Rewards a Free tailor token for your trouble 05/05/19 [*]Super Packs Added [*]XP Boosts adjusted for servers, on permanently until otherwise noted. [*]Character Shard Transfers enabled 05/01/19 [*]Architect Entertainment -50% XP Nerf added to discourage farming missions from flooding the system. [*]Weekday +50% XP Boost added on all servers to encourage players to spread out playtime away from weekends. [*]Weekends on Everlasting and Indomitable will be set to +250% XP Boost [*]Leveling Pacts disabled due to instability. [*]Fixed scenario that allowed players to create Architect missions with enemies that actually healed you instead of damaging you. [*]Fixed bug that caused players to receive multiple copies of the 15th Anniversary Badge reward 04/29/19 [*]City Zones set to unload if empty, may cause slightly increased loading times when entering an empty zone. [*]Players can now skip the login queue if reconnecting within 10 minutes of a previous disconnect. [*]All logging for player information has been disabled 04/28/19 [*]Indomitable and Everlasting shards added to the pool with +100% XP Boost [*]Login Queue System enabled - Shards limited to 1,500 players [*]15th Anniversary badge added 04/28/19 [*]Excelsior Shard added to the pool
