[City of Villains Theme]

I really like this idea. Can’t see anyone taking their time to make it happen tho.😕

[Minor Gladiator badge change idea:]

That a good point. I’m pretty sure each badge is numbered on the programming end and that would probably keep them from changing the Badge Locations.

[AlienFX Support]

That was a feature that was added when Alien sold boxes with CoH and CoV characters painted on them. Maybe around 2006 or 2007.  Depending on what side you played on the lights in your computer would turn blue or red. Probably still works if you can find a CoH box from back then. I remember asking about it at one point and was told it was never looked at and probably could not be modified for today’s computers.

They also had some incredibly cool Star Wars boxes. The jet black one had Darth Vader and the White one had Luke Skywalker.

[Kill Skuls Badge]

Those NPC where created after the Badge went live. After their creation they forgot to update the Badge to count the new  NPC types. It's low priority over new content since you can still get he Badge by killing other Skulls.

Is it wrong that I now wish this guy to team with Steve Martin for "Dueling Banjos"?

Absolutely not. But I don't believe I have ever seen Steve Martin rip a tune on his Banjo. He likes to meander and play feel good stuff. Fluffy music 

[Players that are sitters every single time]

I'll tell you my reason. I'm a day one player who has been plying almost constantly for what, 18 years now.? I had over 100 lvl 50 characters on live and have played through every mish in the game multiple times on all three sides. I was and still am on  top ten Badge Hunter list on Live and here. I get PL'd, slot my toons with the Highest Set available, and go back and play the content I really enjoy with those toons.

 

What's your problem with that?

[Redside mission path broken - Kuzmin > Fire Wire @ Level 8 (Fire Wire spoilers)]

Six-Six is being inconsiderate in his wording Zodai. He is correct however. He is just void of compassion for anyone who is unaware of how the game works as he is.

[How to search the old COH forums at the WayBackMachine?]

Looks like whoever took the screencaps no longer links to the Way Back Machine. I don't know of anyone who still has copies of the original forums. At least legally.

For better or for worse, most communication is done on the Homecoming Discord server.

Yah, Discord Servers.....

We are aware of the problem and looking into it!


Admin staff (the folks that run and maintain the server) have created a new type of monitoring and logging program to see exactly what is wrong with Excel, and it's been getting good data the last few days. They have several ideas of what could be wrong, but do not want to change server code till they are sure that it is in fact the problem.

I have every confidence in them, they have already solved some long standing server inefficiencies by fixing server code that have been around since live days.
The 2020 Peregrine Island crash during trick or treat was one.

 

lmao, Was that so hard?

   Thank you for the correction @srmalloy; yeah I have lower ping, not higher. Just my addled brain making a tech term error is all lol, so thanks again for the correction... 👍

 

 

   That was not the impression on what @Arc-Mage was saying there @Krimson as "Demand" is a very extreme term here I would think. However, for the sake of those who do not know where to find such info, nor that it even exists, a "Request" is not out of the order I would think, even if it's just a link to said web page (and thank you for posting it too @Arc-Mage). Understanding & empathy, on all sides of the isle here, is and would be good here I think... as well as COFFEE at this hour of the morning <em raises cup to you all in greetings>... Cheers! 🙂 

 

Peace...

Absolutely this. I was just suggesting communication.

I'd rather they actually identify the problem, then addresses the problem, and THEN worry about explaining it. They could be busy at the moment. 

I have to disagree. An acknowledgement of the problem goes a long way. How long does it take to post something to the effect, "We are aware of the problem and are looking into it."?

A minute? If you don't you get exactly what we got, people guessing, complaining, arguing and getting upset and leaving frustrated.

They have been on the forum giving updates.  It just wasnt a dedicated thread started by a team member.

 

 

I never would have looked under "Help and Support" to find out if anyone knew there where problems. I never said it needed to be a dedicated thread started by a team member. It would have been nice to see a GM post someplace in this thread though acknowledging they where aware of the problem, that's all I'm saying.

[Map Servered.. How many until calling it a day?]

Yes, It would be nice if the "Homecoming staff on the Homecoming Discord" would pop by the forums and say that themselves. 

 

 

[Fly without Fly power bug??!]

It's a known issue that is canceled out as soon as you zone. This makes it a low priority bug.

["Infiltration" doesn't increase fly speed]

That may have been in Beta that it had a +Fly. Pretty sure it changed when Evasive Maneuvers was added. Infiltration is a nice way to have a Stealth without a -Speed Debuff. The description of Infiltration does not list a +Fly. If you scroll down a bit to the full description of Infiltration it doesn't list +Fly Speed either. 

[Defeats not credited]

Yes, something fishy is going on. I had a 15 count towards the badge.

 

In a group of 1 Boss, 1 Lieutenant and 5 Minions, I killed them all and got credit for 4 kills.

 

Another group 1 Boss, 2 Lieutenants and 2 Minions I credit for 4 kills again. 

 

Another group 1 Boss, 2 Lieutenants and 5 Minions I got credit for 4 kills again.

 

It looks like the max credit out of each group you can receive is 4 kills.

[Praetor Tilman's "Down in the Slums" Mission]

Good Catch. Maybe they can set it to only spawn the female version for this mish.

[Mids Reborn will not open at all]

I'm pretty sure Mid's Reborn will not work with old Mid's files. 

[Bug Report: Oliver Haak Mission 6.11 Recover the armor from the Circle]

If you where able to phase through it that means there was a problem with your connection and the server.  It happens sometimes but it isn't a bug. 

[Henry wong on Indom]

If he is sending you to the Villain Side that is probably a mish from the Valentines Event.

It's been happening for a while now on several HC servers. I remember seeing it a few months ago on Reunion and Ms Liberty was doing similar things near her trainer spot as well.

 

Like TheZag said. Ms. Liberty probably just finished fighting a Giant Monster that a GM spawned next to her. During Events, Giant Monsters that spawn next to any of the Hero Level Trainers will aggro them and they will leave their pedestals to fight them.  After the defeat the Hero sometimes does not return to the pedestal.

[Giant enemy hit boxes are screwy.]

It's been like that since live. The one that bothers me most is the AV CoP. I have to jump to make any of my powers hit. Not many CoPs are run so the frustration is mitigated a bit. 

 

Still this problem isn't the end of the world. 

[Player attacked by Imperious!]

This sounds like something is triggering as a Taunt.

[Heather Townshend can be approached directly]

New Dark Astoria contacts where changed back on the Secret Server. I believe this is probably a remnant. 

[Henry wong on Indom]

No. He just took a Wong Turn.
