Doubt it, since other servers have covered it already HC devs tend to march to the beat of their own drum.

I've said in previous posts that I've reached out to everyone I know, even people from other games I'm involved in. Some people have joined, some have not, and he'll I've contributed to the honeypot a time or two. The point of my thread was a pretty broad stroke, I tried to cover as much as possible on every aspect of what I have recently seen. Sure there might be a time that the game does die, and sure not having a healthy population does effect things either directly or indirectly. Honestly in my head which I covered in my final paragraph is why don't we market indirectly? At least call up some gaming sites and twitch reviewers and let them know where we are headed. Are the devs afraid it might paint a bullseye on us? It's the lack of knowledge of such things that I find bothersome. But, then again I don't team with anyone besides my vgmates. Although I do like to see other players around.

With the very obvious drop in population and the resulting fallout threads. Speculation, finger pointing, dogs and cats living together, and MASS HYSTERIA!!!! *Ahem* But, I digress, if you've done any reading about humans and all their squishyness or evolution. You know we as a species fixate on the "bad" its a survival mechanism, we remember the bad to make us more cautious so dinosaurs don't eat us so easily. Or in this game so the badgers don't get ganked so easily in pvp zones.(but they do, hey dinosaurs need to eat too) Some people are grumpy butts, overly opinionated, inflated egos, imaginative, desperate, speculative, wishful, etc, etc ad nauseum. We invent our discussions, questions, threads, builds, and whatever we can come up with. So now your asking, why? Well thats simple it might be the knee jerk response to have our community continue on, legitimate question, starting trouble, or whatever conceivable or inconceivable reasoning we as our widdle brains can attest to fills us with emotion...of some sort. We go on inventing and dare I say investing our precious time into this further continuation of our lil world. The big thing I have noticed is the DOOM threads, now you might argue the point with your more rational side saying "no no thats not what I was saying " but....it is. Now whether you realize it or not, subconscious vs conscious decision to start these threads. We you me him or her, have all experienced the END, it happened once before Live did it to us and that damnable company that shall not be named. So these threads pop up because let's face it folks, death comes for all of us. This game is no different. So speaking of humans and their baggage, what happens when you get bored or something becomes repetitive or too easy. Well, you invent something to do so you're not bored, try something different (shame on you mid life crisis people), or you go do something else. I'm thinking more than likely that is occurring. This is my speculation. I know people that post on here that don't play or haven't played in awhile. Hell I went from multiple times a week to maybe once or twice now. Not for any definite reason mind you but, I'm sure there are a ton of reasons. Which is what I did in a roundabout way above. Coupled with the fact that there is no advertising, no inside info articles on gaming sites, etc, etc AND a volunteer team. Well you get the point, no new blood equals a timeline of existence. PLUS, the ever constant reminder of the boogeyman aka the company that shall not be named and either the fictitious or very looming threat of that. I will not speculate on that, I don't read the gossip rags. So draw your conclusions, speculate, or read the innards of some hapless sacrifice whatever. The lack of definitive information regarding what is exactly going on most definitively defines the future ability to formulate a plan to stave off the death knell of this world of ours.

This is a great place to catch up. https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Main_Page

Procs, I have yet to try DP.

Still haven't seen the benefits, I've procced powers on the advice of others and haven't really been impressed. I'm apparently missing something.

I too have seen human centipede.

They both suck... The End

Sounds like the company I work for.

I agree...I have used the other pools but they're just so...mehtastic. Nothing jumps out as something that I would want to fit in a build.

I've never really go into Thugs and I have a cadre of MMs. Put it this way, I have a Merc MM but, not a Thug. Thats how much I cannot get into them. Its probable because of my middle class upbringing lol.

Honestly the newer pool powers that came out besides Sorcery I don’t play. I think that should speak volumes.

😉

Meh..I appreciate the ideas and the naysayers. Ultimately its not going to happen just like 99% of everything in this section of the forums. Battles happen all the time in SC but nobody goes to though, although those aren't announced. You occasionally get ppl fighting fires or doing the troll rave. But, a large chunk of the population is doing TFs/SFs, trials, AE farming, or pocket d/AP rp/erp.

That...is a interesting concept. /kin would be a fantastic secondary.

Its a retaliatory attack based on the outcome of an event. Ms. Liberty "holy shizzballs Recluse just activated his doomsday weapon, beat a bunch of heroes asses, and killed a platoon of Longbow!" Let's sit here and do nothing! Or She goes to try to stop him, you know basically something that happens in every comic book. Meanwhile in a BC on villains side, Lord Recluse calls on the aid of all villains in the area to assist with repelling the unlawful attack by a "hero" and the terrorist organization Longbow. Which based on the outcome (Liberty getting her ass beat). Recluse says yo Black Scorpion go to PI and fvck portal corp up. So Scorp, drags some unlucky Arachnos guys with him to go piss on the lawn and knock over some trash cans at portal corp. So let's see there's a story, its an event like Rikti, Nemmy, etc which players do. Bag of HP check because thats every GM/AV, Hami, Mothership, etc (ppsstt its part of the game). Probably longer than a minute but, hey some people like to piss in other peoples cheerios because they have nothing to contribute and think their opinion is the only one that every player in the game follows.

I was thinking upon completion of a TF like LRSF or Ms. Liberty, something that involves the signature heroes/villains and why there would be retaliation.

So like any zone event that's triggered by something specific. Have a signature villain or hero "attack" a random zone. Attacking everything in sight just like a GM. Might spice it up by making the diff of the AV correspond to the new levels making it a real challenge. In addition if a villain or hero attacks a zone then a hero or villain retaliates by attacking the opposing zone. Mercy = Atlas, Peregrine Island =Grandville, etc. That way everyone gets to participate on each side, and each defeat is a badge and a reward of some kind ie: merits, hami o, notice of the well, etc.

Brute Claws Wolverine/Beast Staff Gambit Invul Colossus Willpower/Regen Wolverine SR Beast/Gambit Nrg Mastery Laser Beam Eyes Cyclops Teleport Nightcrawler Fly with wings Angel Artic Mastery Iceman Super Speed Quicksilver Speed Phase Kitty Pryde You could literally go through every AT and come up with something.

Nope still no happening.

Is this our Pam and Tommy Lee moment? I'm not clicking that fvcking link!!!! I was there I know what happened!

Do not weep, @battlewraith, for the forums are kind. Because @arcane threw wild hands toward the sky And the affrighted @PeregrineFalconran on alone, Do not weep. The forums are kind. Hoarse, booming players of City of Heroes, Little newbs who thirst for inf, These players were born to level and die. The unexplained blimp flies above them, Great is the forum-god, great, and his kingdom— A field where a thousand deleted posts lie. Do not weep, @arcane, for the forums are kind. Because @PeregrineFalcontumbled in the discussion threads, Raged at his breast, gulped and hospital it, Do not weep. The forums are kind. Swift, blazing flag of Paragon, Statesman with crest of red and white, These players were born to level and die. Point for them the virtue of altitis, Make plain to them the excellence of Homecoming And a field where a thousand posts lie. Player whose heart hung humble as a button On the bright splendid shroud of your post, Do not weep. The forums are kind.
