    Pick anything to replace proton sweep.  Cause it's horrible.  Long animation, paper thin cone, underwhelming damage.

    ...snip...

    On paper proton sweep looks good, but in practice there are better ways to go.

    I cannot agree more.  I was so underwhelmed by Radiation Melee in general, and then THAT icing on a crap-cake?  No thank you.  I really, REALLY wanted the contamination thing to work better than it does; what I would have liked to have seen is Proton Sweep be a 100% Contamination spreader, so it could have a viable use (paired with the siphon, anyway).  The mechanics Radiation Melee are wonky and every time I play it, I wished it was Dark Melee (which can be colored to look like radiation clouds, so there).  Besides, if I wanted to stand around (rooted!) while my attacks go off, I'd play Titan Weapons.

     

    You know your MAIN powerset's cone attack sucks when you consistently rely on Sands of Mu.

     

    Oh, and to the OP, yeah, the TFs you did are all -END, essentially.  As I've always said, -endurance mobs in the 10-25 level range is about as awesome a design as mobs that do TOXIC at level 10 (hello, Vahz).  Good stuff.

  2. I just experienced what the OP had:  teamed in a 12-14 person League, we defeated Lusca.  One person (replied) said they got the badge; I did not.  I did significant damage (tanked it, mostly).  I'm not badging, don't care about it one way or the other, but thought I'd add to this for posterity.  The badge, Devilfish, did not award for me on 13 Dec 2019.

    Sort of related....are there plans for an API to get badges and post them to a website, similar to Badge-Hunter, etc? 

     

    I wouldn't do it real time (once a day at most), and only for accounts/characters that opt in.

    I asked a similar question to the City Info Tracker (CIT) folks, and from what I was told, CIT  probably cannot handle the volume of data produced by Homecoming.  I think HC is over 150K accounts and over 1mil characters (and growing, daily).  So keeping track of 1,000,000 characters' progress on badges (how many are there?) and other info becomes rather large, rather quickly. 

     

    (Since no one answered)

  4. Not sure if this is the appropriate place (or person) to ask, but can we get the wall-mounted arrows (under Alphabet) to have a solid back so we can rotate the right arrow to point left?  Or can we create all four arrows (←↑↓→) in the base editor?  I'm not asking for lower case letters (yet), but the lack of a left-pointing arrow really is bothersome and it seems like it could be fixed by adding the "back" to the right arrow and rotating it around...?

     

  5. Are there any command line options that can be parsed when loading tequila.exe / creating its shortcut (e.g. shortcut to: tequilla.exe -manifest <manifest> -client <client>)?

     

    I'd like to create a shortcut for Homecoming, 64-bit client; as well as other servers, their clients.  Or even a direct launch of Titan or Paragon Chat, etc.

     

    My searching did not turn up anything, so I am asking here.  Thanks!

     

  6. Is there a way to save and load chat tab configurations, additional tabs, etc. between alts?  Ideally, I'd like to have one toon to lay everything out, save all the stuff (keybinds: check, window options: check, chat options: ??, window positions: ??).  I'm not seeing it, but I'm sure it has to be there?

  7. These are my additions to my stock keybinds.txt file:

     

    CTRL+\ "quit"
    ` "powexec_name Combat Jumping$$powexec_name Super Jump"
    BUTTON4 "target_enemy_near"
    BUTTON5 "target_friend_near"
    CTRL+D "say I'm dancing on your grave, $target!$$em dance"
    SHIFT+F "powexec_name Sands of Mu"
    F9 "say <color #FFFF33><bgcolor #000000><scale 2>level $level $origin $primary/$secondary $archetype ($side side) looking for a large team to join!"
    G "say Hello, $target!$$em wave"
    CTRL+G "say Goodbye, $target — I'll try not to miss you!$$em wave"
    CTRL+P "powexec_location me Blue Wisp Pet$$powexec_location me Red Wisp Pet"
     

    I'll have more as I play more.

  8. Is there an option to save/load window positions?  I have many alts, and will have many more, and I would like my layout consistent across them all.  I can load the window OPTIONS, and the keybinds, but I'm not seeing anything for actual size or position.  Does this exist, and if so:  how do I achieve it?

  9. I would like to bind Combat Jump and Super Jump to the same key (the `-key west of number 1).  What I'd like is, if CJ is on, then pressing ( ' ) will turn on SJ; and vice-versa.

     

    I know this can be achieved through bind file loading and such, but I was wondering if there was another option.  I seem to remember having it this way back in the day (I did a lot of custom binding, etc), but I could just be old and forgetful.  dUmb, as it were (my SG on Infinity).

     

    Any help is appreciated!

  10. I'm still kicking myself in the rear for not keeping up with all things CoH/CoV, such as they are.  I'm contributing and waiting for other parallel systems (e.g. Ship of Heroes, etc.) but this is here and now, and warts-and-all, CoH/CoV!  Dang!  And it's been out and about for HOW long?  So many friends, as well as my children, have fond memories of CoH.  More than any other MMO before, during or since.  

     

    TL;DR:  NCSoft are fools, always will be... in my opinion.
