GM Kal

It's officially the unofficial in these cases. Any time someone says some place is the official ____, people immediately think it's required. So we avoid it. We don't want anyone thinking RP is required on Ever, or PvP is required on Indom. Enforced RP servers from my experience in other games just take the fun out anyway with excessive rules. There are a good number of people on Everlasting that do not RP, but enjoy seeing the detailed character bios of RPer.

I do think the idea is interesting.... but... Sorry but official support of gambling won't be happening in any way. Too much legal risk to the server, and technically against the CoC. We have to prioritize keeping Homecoming around for the long, long term.

"...the GM would operate with personal discretion..." To clarify, GMs on Homecoming never act with "Personal Discretion". We have an extensive training program for GMs, all GM actions are subject to review by Lead GMs, Lead GM actions are subject to review by other Lead GM and top Homecoming LLC staff.

The AE changes currently on beta are being fast tracked, and likely will go live soon. I'm sure it will be live well before Sept 5th, so no need to publish to Beta unless you feel like it. Till then, good luck on the AE designs!

Yep it's all the emote command. ;pets a cat. In the chat window: GM_Kal pets a cat. In a thought bubble above my character on screen: pets a cat. If you specifically type an emote animation, it will do that instead. ;doublefacepalm No bubble, no chat window text, my character slaps both hands to face. Some folks also chat with it when more information is needed, or they want to not just say a line. ;turns to Palehood and says "Good question, glad you asked that." GM_Kal turns to Palehoood and says "Good question, glad you asked that." https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/Emotes

City of Community discord has a extensive setup for Discord based RP for anyone to use, that has dice rollers, and "Tupperbot" utility that allows use of alts if you have multiple characters, or want a specific bio and picture for your character. It's not an official Homecoming thing, and not specifically associated with any group; the Cape Radio folks run it. A link is pinned in the HC Discord channel #Evelasting-RP But, activity is currently lacking.

Rikti are historically anti-magic, and many are anti-human (unmodded that is). Totally fine. The above ideas are fine, as long as the CoC is followed: Do not abuse or harass others This includes players, Homecoming staff, and players or staff from other communities If someone wants you to leave them alone, you must leave them alone If someone is put off by your theme OOC and wants to not hear about it or not interact, it needs to end immediately at that point. Preferably with an OOC apology and and an "of course". But, speaking as a player that RP's always, characters that hate some subset are usually very limiting to play. I have found it better to play a character that is getting over some systematic historical hate and expanding horizons rather than limiting myself to who I can play with.

Incorrect. If you see anything remotely approaching this, it should be reported. The proper method of reporting is to use Menu, Support in game; or https://forums.homecomingservers.com/support/ Not implying things are happening on unrelated forum posts. We are well staffed as far as GMs, but we rely on players actually using the support system.

Thank you for the suggestion!

Thank you for the interesting suggestion. I will remind almost everyone in this thread to refrain from personal insults and be polite when interacting with other players in the future. I am now locking this thread.

Happy to go over this, it's a complex subject, even for our staff! I'll hit the TL;DR first. Alternate versions of CoH signature characters, and their general looks are allowed. Not exact names of the characters, or misspellings that are indiscernible. So first off, we are looking at several different issues here, and lots of conflicting rules. Using outside intellectual property in game is a problem, and against CoC. Using CoH IP within CoH is not an actual problem in a legal sense. In just this aspect of issue by itself, we are ok for using CoH signature characters. But that is not the only factor. CoC rule: Do not play or impersonate in game NPCs. This rule had several different reasons behind it, including drama over portrayals. But, the original question was: An alternate version would be ok, since it is not that character. If you have some alternate reality version of Statesman (or other sig NPC), a clear clone of him, former roommate's brother that is obsessed with him, forgotten offspring, these are all ok. Statesman X Alien Statesman Centari Statesman All ok. You are not attempting to be that character, you are doing your own take on the character. But do avoid attempting to be so close people can't tell. Stefan Richter, with exact spelling, and playing the actual NPC that becomes Lord Recluse, would technically be a problem, since that is an NPC in game. Playing some version of him from another reality, and you clearly define it as that, would be ok. On to the next issue! Staff may need the actual exact name for events and appearances as that character "Holding" a signature name for whatever reason won't last. If staff needs it for an appearance or creating the character for an event, they will have to take it. If the name is exact, or an I L ( IlI ect ) type close misspell, it may be a problem for the impersonation rule.

They fixed it in the most recent update. Uninstall if you need to and get the new one. Should fix it.

Yep the FBSA is mentioned in game a good amount. And thank you for what you do Michiyo!

Suggestion made. Continued heated discussion is off topic.

Razer has been more about looks, advertising, and brand than quality for years now. Same experience. My Naga died barely out of the short warranty. Since then I have only bought ReDragon Perdition MMO mouse. Same "all the buttans" type as the Naga, only better quality, and actually.... Cheaper.

And just meant for Ouro flashback. Yeah we can use all the help we can get updating and confirming info on the wiki

Nope. Note the character feet vs the base of the phones and bench. I'm walking. Seems the entire area is sloped to the middle in the tiled area, and the characters ignore this. Less noticeable at the edges.

Cap au Diable, the small plaza lowered area around the Base Portal. The physical foorl is slightly above the graphical foorl. This was on all characters, not just the visiting Black Scorpion.

As always, developer time is at a premium! There are so many things that we would like to do, fix, and update. But it is a good suggestion that power descriptions be eventually standardized for who or whatever a player is playing.

It's fixed now

Server devs have been notified, we are posting updates on the HC discord. Hopefully this will be resolved soon!

I usually pick out several emotes for each of my characters that suit their personality, then make macros for them. But honestly, I think individualized pop menus would be good. I usually don't bother with that though.

Don't worry, me and Tempest bug the hell out of the devs for more RP stuff incessantly. Just that the devs have a long to-do list.

maps/missions/V_Arachnos/V_Arachnos_45/V_Arachnos_45_Layout_02_02p.txt (1045) Please fill in the floors of the inside of pillars. So so many foes get knocked into the pillars, then fall 10+ stories down "the tube" that is all the pillars in this Arachnos base.

I didn't know him, but my condolences to his family, friends, the staff here, and all the players that played with him. I am really glad he got to play CoH with friends again after shutdown, even if it was a little while. He sounds like he was a wonderful person.
