Personally I just try and attend Hami raids whenever possible. A well run group can get 2 runs done in around 20 min or faster depending on attendance. That's 120 merits (80+40) for a double. More if you swap characters. Depending on shard there can be several run each day. It adds up. Then I just get converters or boosters and sell them. I don't bother doing converter roulette anymore.

Yep, submit a support ticket: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/support/ Include what info you can, such as the global and any other info (But we don't ever want passwords.) Will help you out if at all possible.

Putting a reward merit in an email fills out your own global if you do not know it, or want to make sure you get it right. Then just take it out again. And as Laudwic said, do keep a email to self reply to. For new players: Reward merits are big money. Finish contact story arcs, Ouro arcs, task forces, or giant monster hunts for merits. Go inside City Hall Go to the Merit vendor Buy Enhancement Converters using the reward merits. (under Special salvage) Open the Auction House with /ah Open your Salvage tab on your power tray Drag them to the AH window Sell them for 1 inf (yes, seriously) You will usually make: 1 Reward Merit = 3 Enhancement Converters that sell for at least 60,000 inf each. Also, check price possibilities for Enhancement Boosters.

Lines summed this up very well. If you are in doubt, ask a GM. We are happy to help folks and appreciate people trying to follow the rules. If you do not like our code of conduct, and the rules required to play here - then do not do so. The only rules we have here are to keep the server safe and operating long term, and so the majority of players can enjoy playing.

You seem transparent in that pic. Is that dark shadowfall or cloak of darkness? Any active stealth will reduce the follow range for escorts. Just turn your stealth power off as you lead them out.

And we have hundreds of amazing player made open RP areas. https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Everlasting_Base_List Just need: Place (got those), Time, Theme. Optionally: Some planned activity Set event times/days and incentives to show up to get people in the habit of showing up might work.

Per request, linking weapon bug report here with other active weapon bugs.

AE exp in general will not change now, other than a fix for the EXP booster that was giving more than intended for non Dev choice; and calculations for exp value of enemies may change if they were are greatly underpowered. Non Dev choice AE have been x0.5 exp since 2019, no change there. Edit: Thanks for the extra info below AlwaysAPrice!

To be clear, it does drop from level 1 on per the patch notes. So doing hard content is not required to obtain them.

This thread is about the adjusting of rewards for specific content. Please focus on that instead of farming method conversation. If you have input on how these can be better adjusted for fairness vs difficulty and time, it is most welcome! Edit: Seriously folks. Dev team need input on these things, and do not have spare time to read through your personal chats on other topics. Edit edit: Further off topic posts will be deleted. This thread is Focused Feedback: Reward Merits

Community question: Level 2 RP Do you have, or do you know any folks that have a RP character they use regularly, that they specifically and intentionally leave at level 2? As in say a "civilian" for story based RP, and just high enough level to have walk unlocked. Input appreciated.

To clarify, both with the Rikti invasion and Zombie invasion: You need to trigger them, AND have a good number of people (8-10) in the correct zone, in close proximity, with open sky above their head for the invasion to reach it's full end phase. Otherwise the end bosses will not show up.

I am not currently seeing the name flag change happen after testing this on Homecoming Brainstorm. (Not counting actually going though with changing the name)

It's on this forum page, under the account tab. https://forums.homecomingservers.com/beta/

Yep, many player events and games were very limited by the original roll being only a 1-6, and worked around it to - not ideal success. Looking forward to all the creative events the player base will do with the new options, they are already planning on uses.

It is going to be extremely expensive, so you won't be seeing it much on live.

This is a suggestion forum. Not a debate the suggestion forum. Closed.

To be totally honest, I just get on #at-build-general on the HC discord and ask. The proc formulas are complex, and it helps to double check with other folks. Unless you really like doing math. But a good guide is: If the damage is "worth it" (good damage per animation) made sure to slot for damage first, and get the the % shown in Mids just into the red numbers, or at least the yellows. More than that is a waste and diminishing returns. If you can slot the power for not too much recharge in the power itself, and the base recharge and global recharge bonuses you have put it somewhere around the PPM of the proc, then it's likely worth it. Example: the proc can go off 3 times per minute. The recharge on the power is somewhere around 20 seconds. Less is fine if you use the power lots anyway, but something like 50 seconds may be a waste. A recharge of say 2 seconds would not be ideal, but the proc will still help to some extent, and might as well if it's used in your damage rotation, and you have no other priorities. There is also area, pseudo pets, number of effects, ect, ect, to consider; but I will not be getting into that. Ask somebody regarding your specific power or powerset.

I replied to the support ticket, and sent a forum message that will generate a email to the correct email address.

Hi! Glad you are enjoying the game! Make sure to change your primary forum account email to an email you do have access to. Want to make sure you can recover your forum account if there is trouble. Feel free to contact me if you have trouble doing that.

Lead GM here. GMs do not, and have not spawned anything. If they do so outside of an official event, they get fired. Simple. If people are not aware of a player semi-exploit involving this that has been around since 2007, I'm not going to detail it here. Giant Monsters do not spawn in every spawn point, only a few are big enough. Closing this thread because at this point because sadly it has become insulting and rude to staff.

Per Admin Number Six: I can't say for sure it's totally fixed, but it's starting to look that way to me.

Nice. Hope you get 'em in here!

Not a problem, but as Apparition said, most timely and smaller updates and news are on discord. We really didn't have clear news to share on the forum yet. Edit: Per Telephone on the discord just now: Excelsior is now available for play. Today we optimized a temporary table used by the shard to store effects on players ('attribmods'). Previously, this table was stored on-disk even though the data is cleared at shard restart. The table was moved to be entirely in-memory, which should reduce a significant amount of contention in the database. Attribmod save operations (potentially resulting in what the database server calls high latch contention) could be especially heavy when many high-level players leave a map or quit at the same time (e.g. after an instanced Rikti raid or after a Hami raid), due to the number of buffs that might still be present. This change is experimental; we believe it to be stable but if issues or instability are encountered we may perform an emergency restart of Excelsior. In addition, we've discovered a few other potential sources of issues for which a small patch may be issued on our normal patch day (this coming Tuesday). Unfortunately, I don't believe we've made a lot of progress yet on the superpack/email issues, but we are continuing to work on them. Thanks again for your patience as we continue resolving this issue. Please report any unusual issues on Excelsior in #report-server-issues-here or file a petition.

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.
