Turn it back on once you have completed the contact arc you are trying to complete. If you already have another contact with an arc you want to complete, check what level they are before turning it back on, and you will know when you will have to turn it back on again if you want to finish that contacts arc. I do get to the point on my Origin Arc character that I need to level up a level or two before I can get a new Origin contact and/or get missions from that contact. As I'm trying to avoid getting additional contacts, I do this extra non-origin leveling through police scanner missions. I'm assuming that there is an equivalent to the police scanner/newspaper missions on the Praetorian side, but I can't give you information on that as I have a great distaste for the early level Praetorian content and, therefore, I don't make Praetorian characters.

I would think your barrel melting would degrade the accuracy, but I'm not seeing how it would turn a single target attack into a cone. If you're going for a simulation of the barrel of the rifled getting hotter, sure. make stacks of barrel heat. When it gets too hot (too many stacks of barrel heat) , it either has to take time to cool off (use up all the stacks of barrel heat that would deplete at some rate over time) -or- the weapon explodes doing PBAoE damage to the user when it has too many stacks of barrel heat (maybe increasing the chance of the weapon exploding with each new stack of barrel heat added. When the explosion is triggered, the damage is based on how many stacks of barrel heat the weapon has) and then it can't be used again for like 30-45 seconds to simulate getting a new assault rifle from where ever they are when the character isn't holding them.

Maybe you are looking for a change in ammo types like dual pistols https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Dual_Pistols#Swap_Ammo However, I really don't have any DPS issue with assault rifle the way that it is now. I'm quite happy with it. As you have noted, some Assault Rifle attacks have -DEF, and I generally put at least 1 -DEF enhancement in any power that can slot one. Some of the blaster secondaries have a way to increase damage for a short amount of time, like https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Fire_Manipulation#Build_Up Or use procs to get increased damage, like https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Gaussian's_Synchronized_Fire-Control:_Chance_for_Build_Up >>> https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Build_Up Or you can use Damage inspirations

For you, but I'm sure that plenty will want to do it ... just because. And that is exactly what it is there for. It is an intentional grind mechanism added to the game to give grinders something to grind for.

are you able to see outside of the box? If you have teleport, you might be able to teleport out and then go into the base editor and move the blue police-call box off of the entry portal so that you don't zone in inside of it. At least I'm assuming your TARDIS is broken and stuck looking like blue police-call box. They are so much easier to work with when they blend in with the environment the way that they are supposed to. @Dacy do you have any other ideas to help them out?

In this case, it sounds like an AFK farmer and their multi-box accounts. I haven't seen this behavior other than on Excelsior, but I haven't tried doing the ToT event this year on Everlasting yet. I'm sorry that they are dragging down your gameplay experience and, making other players suffer/have less fun/rewards, because you were no long willing to hunt down giant monsters for the league. The game is more enjoyable without the leeches.

interesting. For some reason, I thought Peacebringers and Warshades had set origins. I went to the test server and made one because it seemed so weird to me. I was able to make a magic one. The whole Origin system is kind of thrown out to some extent. Regardless of your character's origin, you can pick any of the origin contacts through the contact menu. Of course, all Peacebringers and Warshades start out with their own Kheldian contact and are not required to pick any of the origin contacts.

How do you access this "DJ service" during the event?

Not ignoring some of these people is definitely NOT FUN.

Hey, you can't copyright mythological creatures!

So my mutant character doing the mutant origin arcs is definitely close to battling Dr Vazhilok through the contact Juliana Nehring. The character has come down with the Vahzilok Wasting Disease :: https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Vahzilok_Wasting_Disease

Use ignore, but don't abuse it. You can only ignore 30 in game before they the oldest one gets kicked off the end of the list. You can ignore all the people you want in the forums. Before long you will have no one to converse with -or- only the civilized, non-trolling posters to have discussions with. I have plenty of civilized, non-trolling posters to have discussions, with and my forum experience is much better for use of the ignore function.

Quick! Edit your post! Say you want the turtle shell so you can make a Japanese Kappa kami!

I would suggest using the wiki to see when the level range of the contact, not using an x# XP, and setting the difficulty to flat. When you get to the level of or before the last level of your contact. Lock the XP at that point. By that time you should have all the powers you need to take on the end of the arc. It's more less what I'm doing over here with the Hero origin contacts :: Yeah, it isn't always a lot of fun running on flat difficulty, so sometime I handicap my characters. The blaster I'm running through the Magic Origins is a fire/martial arts. I've been pretty much running that character IB (innocent bystander) mode with no blast powers and only the martial arts powers unless I get into a really bad situation. When it does come to that point, I go through the power-up/transformation/変身 costume emote and tray flip to the superhero powers trays with the blaster powers and martial arts powers in them. But I try to avoid that as much as possible with that character.

The thumbsdown is a lazy /jranger. Less typing involved. Just a button click. "/jranger is a meme meaning no. JRanger was a poster on the Official City of Heroes/ Villains forum who would reply to ideas on the Suggestions and Ideas forum by only stating "no" without further explanation. Instead of saying "no", users started replying to posts by simply saying "/jranger" instead (the first instance being Memphis_Bill 9/21/07, since deleted). Both actions were ultimately made actionable and "bannable" by Ex Libris [1]. Although it ultimately led to JRanger being banned from the Official City of Heroes/ Villains forum, the usage still sees some use on the PWNZ forums and at least once by a developer[2] after this rule was placed." - https://cityofheroes.fandom.com/wiki//jranger

More proof farming PL'ing causing issues for non-farmers in the rest of the game. How about stop leeching unless people are running teams asking for leechers/doorsitters!?!! I was actually contemplating the ethics of that. I was at a Murder Motel, and there was one leecher even using emotes while standing in the general area for over 15 minutes without fighting or helping the league in any way. This thread as cleared that ethical issue for me. Yes. What they are doing is wrong, and they should be kicked from the league. People should report them to the league leader. But, now, here is the thing. What if the league or team leaders are multi-boxing and those are their alt accounts that they are trying to power-leech from the league?! Oh, you are pushing my AE farmer button big-time, but I'm trying to resist. I thought that was the whole point of playing games, but I guess I'm old as well. If you need to go AFK for a couple of minutes, go to your base, or at least say that you are going afk. You can get moved to an AFK team. If you are going to go AFK for 10-20 minutes, then leave the team. Otherwise you are leeching. The ToT teams aren't sending out /LFG messages asking for leechers/doorsitters. Players are deciding to do it without asking permission to do so. I think the number of players that are leeching/doorsitting are the minority. I don't think it is acceptable and other players agree. If you want to run a farming afk ToT league, then go for it. But don't expect other players to want to stay on your team to be leech food. I tell you if I'm on running a team and there are leechers, they get the boot. I have it as leader. It is there as an option for bad behavior. To me doorsiding/leeching is bad behavior. I don't think I'm the only one. And you now why it's the PI leagues that tend to have them? Because that's how they got to PI in the first place ... if not with their current character, but with their alt. I really have to think at this point that a majority of level 50's were power-leveled. Characters that get to keep their character name without ever logging in again simply because they were power-levelled to level 50. It seems like this behavior is increasing then. I'm assuming that they are working to afk farm are the Prismatic Aether Particles and/or treat it as AE AFK farming/doorsitting because the number of standard AE farms may be down due to the event. Either way, the ToT Leagues aren't advertising for leeches and, as such, I think leeches should kicked from teams. Are the team leaders that are level 50 and AFK leeching?! You betcha. If I see that I'll quit the league as well. I'll be looking for active leagues on other servers and not being used by leeches. I'm sure that there are people that want to be on teams where they won't be leeched. Some of the leagues are well organized. And to close, I have honestly only seen ToT leeching happening on the most populated servers.

Starting small is probably the best option. It wouldn't even need to be directly part of the Con. People could post here if they are going to be at a Con and want to meet other CoH players there. And post specifics as available about where to meet and at what day/time at the Con. I've gone to plenty of Cons that have a board to post events/games that people are running in their hotel room. There are usually plenty of places to hang out or get something to eat as a group.

And how much do those cost? I see. Good info. Yep. Archetype/classes/group-affiliation is standard in MMOs (most role-playing games really - oddly enough, not in the original Champions RPG). Yeah, expected as much. But at what price? That sound really bad. I was pretty much over it after talking to the first contact or two. It was not long after it came out and/or went F2P. But I have to say that tunneling did look interesting, but seems to be too easy to escape with. I could see this kind of travel implemented in CoH as a teleport that that can only target a surface (probably only the ground like other target attacks) with a digging animation at the start and popping out of the ground animation at the end. I can't see it as any kind of prolonged "out of combat" situation unless they put a phase shifting sort of timer/end cost on it, but that doesn't really work either as if you phase shift you can fight against other phase shifted opponents, and I don't see how you would handle two tunneling characters fighting one another while in tunneling mode. It's been brought up a ton of times before, and I don't see the build up to that based on the rest of the post. I disagree as well, but I've seen at least one thread like this before. We definitely can't have this now as it can be used immediately to lock in character names permanently. They do have access to the Temporal Warriors if they want an insta-50 to PVP.

You can cancel your bid whenever you want. If something doesn't sell the price you are trying to sell it at, then you lose the influence you used to post it, but you can take it down and post it again.

I try to hold my tongue about farming here, but there is "no need" for farming - afk or otherwise - for anything. As far as I am concerned any method of farming is an exploit The Incarnate System was misconceived and slapped onto the end of the game with a built in money-grab mechanic. Come on, Yomo. You know what you really want! Make Incarnate salvage tradable and postable on in the Auction House.
