I get most of mine through super packs. For me, the funnest way to get merits by fighting in game is hunting Giant Monsters. But, honestly, if I'm going to buy something with merits, it is with merits that I gained through card packs.

I have CoH installed on my D drive, but it is still in a folder called "Homecoming" I'm assuming your before-and-after are both HC launcher? When someone upgrades from the Tequila install to one that runs through the HC launcher, it reinstalls the game, but it sucks over all the personalized information from the Tequila folder. I'm unsure what would cause a new install under a different folder name.

Yes. There may very well have been one, but I never noticed them. I'm assuming @Laucianna might know and can help us out on the Kheldian front.

Unfortunately, I can't quote directly from my previous post on this thread as it is on a different page. I think the way around this is obvious - you get flashback arcs in the Ouroboros that send you to the missions in Echo:GC. No extra tagging of characters. No contacts need to be returned to Galaxy City or Galaxy City itself. No reason even to put contacts in Echo:GC. Just get the contact arc through the Ouroboros and go to Galaxy City to do the door missions and hunts. I'm unsure if there were any "talk to"s in the Galaxy City Origin arcs, but I member them being different than the Origin arcs form Atlas City contacts. I think there were only contacts in Galaxy City were the 5 starting Galaxy City Origin contacts. I don't recall any other contacts being in Galaxy City.

That's two more than I'll need any time soon. With over 150 characters I know that I've /respec'd less than 5 times total since being on Homecoming. I'm guessing only 2 or three times total (I can't even remember the last time I did a /respec), so, well less than a /respec per year and each character gets one for free every 10 levels. I'm kind of curious how much /repec'ing people actually do. I'm guessing that a lot of players /respec when their character hits level 50 ... and there are many that PL/doorsit to 50 .... but then they would have 5 ... so ...

Sorry, I was remiss not to include ...

I heard that Snaptooth became the Mayor. "Description Snaptooth is a particularly nasty Red Cap that takes even more glee in torment and suffering than the rest of his kin. Clever and devious, he has found a way to hop across dimensions using the faerie rings in Croatoa. Now he can bring his wicked games anywhere he pleases." - https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Snaptooth

I think this more likely to happen than updated graphics for the zone - essentially a new zone. @Scarlet Shocker Now I'm thinking that the easiest way to pull his off is Time Travel! How about Ouroboros missions that send you to do missions in Galaxy City as Flashbacks to before its destruction? You get the Origin contacts in the Ouroboros and they send you into the Echo: Galaxy City to the doors that you would go to when that zone was still active? I mean it isn't like we can't get the Ouroboros portal at level 1 at this point (it is one of the first things that I do when I make a new character at this point). I guess the main thing is "are the Galaxy missions still hidden somewhere in the coding?"

At one point in an episode, it was mentioned that Jason Lee Scott (the Red Ranger)'s father runs a construction company and all the damage in the City keeps his crew busy.

As I recall one of the graphic designer/computer graphics/whatcamacallum DEVS said that underwater stuff could not be done well. So that might be one of the reasons there is no underwater swimming (except for a couple of maps that were apparently "snuck" in), and, therefore, if the players can't be aquatic then what is the point of having Atlantis. There is an Atlantis zone in DCUO with undersea swimming, but it is only used on one episode/issue or whatever over there. And Jack was still around over there when that went on. (but the movie was coming out ... and, yeah, that's the way they roll over there. Nothing to do with the movie. Black Adam movie coming out? Black Adam episode. Nothing to do with the movie. I gave up on comics a good while back due to the cover price, so I have no idea what was going on with either characters in the comics when their episodes/issues/whatever dropped.) The game is what it is and it tries to suck as much money out of you as it can. But I think they did a decent job with the underwater stuff in Atlantis. You can't tell from screen shots of it, and I wasn't able to quickly find a good video that displays it well. There is still a lot of running around on the ground - aka the seabed - but every character can swim - essentially fly - and breath underwater ... in definitely ... for no lore reason ... your character just can. Of course, you can get costume parts that fit the underwater environment, but it is DCUO so most players don't bother so, yeah, most of them are running around on the seabed instead of swimming as well.

Good idea to at least save a copy of these folders and their subfolders as well: accounts costumes powercust settings

I think you need to talk to this guy's dad. I hear his father is runs the construction company that is responsible for repairing the City after aliens, giant robots, and kaiju attacked, but that was a long time ago. He might be running his father's construction company now.
