I make extensive use of the Jump Pack in all zones, @Glacier Peak. It's just a really efficient way to gain a little verticality to move over obstacles rather than pathfinding around them. The improvement to its Cooldown (whether that was a Retail, SCoRE, or Homecoming change, I do not know) was extremely welcome in my eyes when I started on Homecoming. It's as much a standard part of my play experience as Sprint or Ninja Run.

Who's level 50 in this scenario?

Not having access to the Jump Pack in PvP Zones makes it incredibly difficult to navigate for PvE, Badging, and zone-event activities.

Thank you for bringing back the Brain Storms!

Let's do another! Thursday, August the 6th! One Hour Standard! 9:30pm Eastern! Same place as ever: Sharkhead's Rikti Monkey Fight Club! Please, give some Rikti Monkey Fight Club Bookies a hand, and spread the word far and wide! Your support and involvement makes these worthwhile! Additionally, the Commandant's Inf reserves are -quite- dry. If anyone is willing to provide donations, it would be immensely appreciated. Thank you.

SUBMISSION: I've been playing this game for so many years, and it has had such a profound effect on my life, that I didn't know if there was a single experience I could summarize and express in under 250 Words. But then this happened just now in Outbreak. I spotted someone standing next to Coyote for over a full minute, suggesting to me that they were reading what was there. I checked their Global and found it was identical to their character name. A telltale sign of a new player! I initiated a trade and offered some Inf. Here's what transpired in Local chat: 2020-06-14 03:16:06 [Local] {New Player}: is this some cheat that's gonna get me in trouble? lol 2020-06-14 03:16:35 [Local] {Me}: (( Nope. This is just how we roll in City of Heroes. When we spot a new player, we hand them a wad of Inf. )) 2020-06-14 03:16:42 [Local] {Me}: (( Welcome! )) 2020-06-14 03:16:58 [Local] {New Player}: ((Oh, well thank you :) 2020-06-14 03:17:00 You traded 10,000,000 influence, for Nothing 2020-06-14 03:17:15 [Local] {Me}: (( You're welcome. Just be sure to pay it forward some day when you feel ready to. )) 2020-06-14 03:17:23 [Local] {New Player}: ((Of course 2020-06-14 03:17:35 [Local] {Me}: (( Enjoy yourself out there! )) 2020-06-14 03:17:46 [Local] {New Player}: ((Will do ^^ thank again! 2020-06-14 03:18:16 [Local] {New Player}: ((pewpew time o/ Why do I play? What does City of Heroes mean to me? It's moments like this.

While the costume contests are scheduled rather early, the after-party will go on in to the night. There will be door prizes and goodies there.

FOUND IT! . . . just a sllllliiiiiiight problem, though. https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/16220-please-lock-players-out-of-the-remote-portal-room-dev-commands/ Looks like it got Mod-Hidden. Sorry! No verification this time, I'm afraid.

I've started the updating process for my list. I hope to have all accounts up to date by the end of today. Remember, folks! If you're looking for a certain kind of filler for your story, campaign, or session; consider getting in touch. A couple nights ago, someone needed some advice on magic, and so they called Magic Consultant Stu. While their characters may have found the experience less-than-ideal, the players all had a big laugh and plan to use him again in their (mis)adventures!

I was watching the news closely with Bree, but never worked up the nerve to join it. When I learnt about the takedown due to the threat of legal action, I caved. I realized: I may have just missed my chance to ever play the game again. A game which had such a monumental impact on my life! And then the person who told me about Bree told me about Homecoming. Check out my sign up date. SO! Thanks. Thanks to Jimmy. Thanks to the whole Homecoming Team. Thanks to the GMs. Thanks to the players. Thanks to whoever it was that put their livelihood on the line and leaked the game in the first place. Thanks to the whistleblower who revealed SCoRE. Thanks to Leandro for keeping the lights on (even if it was in a box far from most people's sight). Thanks to the original Developers who made this game what it is. It's already worth it, for the year of enjoyment and memories, even if the worst comes to pass and it's all gone again tomorrow. But let's also keep working together and strive to make the City even greater than ever before! Don't stop being awesome!

Sock puppet? No. Don't. I don't seriously advocate that anyone does that. It's bad form. Instead; keep tagging the Homecoming Team with every reply until they capitulate! (Also: Don't. Though one or two tags might help? What do you think, @Jimmy?)

The mythical Nerdorgeek of ancient legend?

My spouse and I are actually trying to adopt or find a surrogate . . . I mean, not that such has anything to do with the topic of this thread, but you kind of brought it up. ANYWAY! BACK ON TOPIC! I learnt recently that it's possible to actually Respec and then drop all the non-Primary/Secondary Powers by immediately zoning after Respec'ing. I've not tested this extensively yet, but I pulled it off a couple of times using the /enterbase command. It's obviously not a solution, but it's at least a potential workaround for some of us while we wait for someone to program a version of this thread's idea.

per Jimmy: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/16298-homecoming-code-of-conduct-updates-march-7th-2020/page/14/?tab=comments#comment-181155 If you wish to address a GM regarding a moderation decision, then it's highly recommended you do so through private methods.

My browser doesn't show any background image either. I am okay with that, though. I prefer the pure colour'd background as it appears on my end.

So, they're not completely disabled? Just disabled in modes which normally disable Temp/Prestige Powers?

Ok, so, maybe a P2W Vended Temp Power item isn't ideal. Might confuse new players and some people might figure out ways to exploit it in regular gameplay. Instead, to level the playing field, and because this is frankly a pretty villainous thing to do (beating some poor Hellion around while he's powerless to stop you): Echo: Mercy Island Everyone automatically Sidekicks up to 50 if they're not already. Everyone automatically gets all their regular Powers Disabled. Everyone gets a Pop-Up Tray with "Driver" (Mag 150 KB), "9 Iron" (Mag 50 KB), and "Putter" (Mag 7 KB) versions of the Golf Club Power, and a variety of Travel Powers that behave at max-slotted potency. Everyone also gets a Power to summon an enemy Hellion in designated spawn zones (such as at the base of Fort Darwin). The Hellion's name is "Baal." 18 Flags arranged around on the map in various places. Each time a player-character hits their Baal with one of the golf club Powers, they get a single application of a Debuff called "Point" which stacks with itself (no actual stats get affected by the Debuff). If "Baal" comes within 8 feet of a Flag, the player-character gets their stack of "Points" logged to the zone (like the Ski Chalet leaderboard). Badges for getting a Birdee, an Eagle, or for going 3x above Par. Should be a -breeze- to program all that up, right? Right? . . . right?

Ok. Everyone. Just stop. . . . We need to join forces and compel the Homecoming Team to make a "Just For Fun" P2W Vendor Power which is a golf club that deals 0 Damage, but has the highest maximum Knockback, BUT only works on enemies who con grey to you (so it can't be used to screw with actual gameplay).

It doesn't look like anyone mentioned it yet, but: Excelsior is the most populated Shard. Everlasting is the (officially) unofficial roleplaying Shard. Indomitable is the (officially) unofficial (but basically official at this point) PvP Shard. Reunion is the European Shard. Torchbearer was originally the only Shard, but everyone moved to other Shards once Shard Transfers became free.

Would it be possible for an Admin to send a Global Tell to every account, so that the next time a player logs in, the message is there? Or a Pop-Up with a 10 second countdown timer before you can click the "OK" button? Or both.

er . . . "very slightly brighter?" There weren't any borders rendering at all around staff messages before a couple days ago on my browser. Not complaining, mind you. It's an interesting feature. Stands out very firmly.
