Cleanup is aisle 5! A can of worms has been opened! 😁😁😁

Paragon Wiki is a snapshot of the game at Sunset. Homecoming (Unofficial) is a living document covering the Homecoming servers - and (IMO) should be a 'one-stop-shop'. A replacement for, not a supplement to, Paragon Wiki. As to why the history? Homecoming is not a new game, it's the heir to the original game. The history provides context.

Hmm... It appears the sound files linked from the Music page didn't get copied over... https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/Music

"Master of ______" doesn't say "exceptional player" to me. It says "cautious player".

*nods* People only remember the ends of the bell curves - the frustrating misses and amazing Hail Mary hits. The middle, the vast majority, is forgotten as fast as it happens.

You don't have to make a profit to get into legal hot water over copyright. It's a consideration when evaluating Fair Use, but it is emphatically not a free pass or a get-out-jail-free card. Also, not-for-profit doesn't mean you can't or don't make a profit (though our Dev team chooses not to), it means there's no owners (or partners, or shareholders, etc...) that make a personal profit. A non-profit or not-for-profit can make a profit, they just can't distribute it - it must be used for operations and/or the stated purpose of the organization. (The non profit I'm part of is hurting bad right now because our operating funds for the year come from the profits from a now cancelled (due to the virus) annual event.) IANAL - but the lawyers I've dealt with (FWIW as part of a non-profit) say different. When the organization places it's imprimatur onto a piece of content by officially publishing it, they assume responsibility for the content. If it violates copyright or trademark, they're potentially liable. Anyhow, this is getting off topic and I've said my piece.

There are... any number of legal (copyright) issues in doing so. That's why so few (as a hedge, I am not aware of any) legally run games do that. It's the same reason HC is likely to stay far, far away from that.

Ah, I misread your post and thought you meant Paragon Wiki needed to list the objective. Mea Culpa.

Happily, Homecoming has it's own (unofficial) wiki - HC Wiki. Feel free to update as you discover missions with incomplete descriptions.

Posi 1 & 2 will also net you a nice bag of Gears. I finished mine trolling along the upper highway that runs N/S through Skyway between the tram stations.

Which I just realized also implies that eventually some pages (such as Issue pages) might eventually have to be edited to point to the "history page" for consistency...

I always thought it more of an observation of what's happening or has happened.

I'd say that such changes need to preserve the historical context (which is consistent with what we inherited)... So, copy the existing information to a "history page" (which would only be pointed to by the "main page") and edit the "main page" to reflect the current situation.

Yep. And those "big" powers often aren't all that useful without at least of a couple of slots, and Stamina, and your (often low(er) level) bread-and-butter powers to fill in around them. Hard pass.

AFAIK/AIUI, the Dev team intends to balance the game around SO's. So they're not likely to make regen scrappers into native pseudo-tanks just because they can be IOed pseudo-tanks.

With it being experimental, I can see three possible states: 1) It's been shelved entirely for whatever reason. (That could be permanent, or temporary for any number of reasons). 2) Like the Dark Melee changes in the Page 5 beta, it might have turned out not be low hanging fruit and has been set on the back burner for the moment. 3) Since it's part of a larger effort to revitalize low level play, it might be delayed while the rest of that effort is worked out.

I added the Homecoming Wiki to my sig, help to spread the word. Would help for more folks to do so.

That's me too. I enjoy how Regen is a constant dance on the high wire - can you kill arrest faster than you can be sent to the hospital? If you can't take that tension, then Regen may not be the set for you.

Bots/FF is a classic choice, and definitely not boring. Though after testing Electric Affinity on Beta and having an EA defender, I'm tempted to try a Bots/EA MM.

I'm on Excelsior, so that's definitely going to skew things too.

I'd agree with you with one exception: The Weekly Strike Target. You see a lot of those advertised as speedruns. You see Task Forces in general advertised as speedruns more often than other content... Because folks are doing those for the Merits rather than for XP.

You can find the costume files as AVT described... the question is whether or not they're compatible between servers.

It's an experimental system and may or may not ever go live.

I think that map comes from the system, not VidiotMaps... Either way, that room is a copy of one in the Midnight Club and that badge marker is for the Midnighter Club Member Badge.

Not surprised to to find the usual rhetoric deployed to defend being an offensive jerk.
