well, I guess you don't have to worry about it if you don't want the improved bonus of higher level enhancements.

Plant/Nature was a goto for me. I think that is the first kind of Plant Controller I made. I'm not sure if I have made another type of plant controller. I can see how Plant/poison would be a mix, but I doubt I'll make one.

Somewhat seraph like. There are lots of different interpretations of what a seraph looks like, but I found a couple similar to what you posted. I'm assuming that you are trying to go for some kind of Divine Incarnate kind of thing akin to the Igigi/Seraphim.

Yah, trickster you! Shutdown one giveaway to start an even greater giveaway. Classic. I'll be plastering this thread up all over the place.

This was a great service to the community. I apologize if I promoted it too much in the forums and in-game.

In my experience, they won't scale. But you can test it. The thing is to see the mission range so that the low end is the highest level of an enemy you want in the mission and the high-end is higher than the lowest high-end of an enemy if you want in a mission. I'm assuming the Shivans start at level 15. So I would set the mission level (you have to do this on every mission) from 15-25. The player that picks the mission affect the level. If they are below 15, they will be raised to 15. If they are above 25, they will exemplar'ed down to 25. I don't remember if you can, but you could try to see if it would let you edit one of the minion types. You probably would want to give them more powers to compensate for the level range. unfortunately, I'm up too late and can't get involved with fiddling with it at the moment. But, hopefully, someone will be on to chastise me for my lack of knowledge sooner or later.

Yeah. I can't wait for my character to be able to stand around on the pier in Talos with their feet stuck in a bucket of concrete. "Help! Help! Save me!" ... because there is no getting tied to the tram tracks emote ...

Well, your entire family except for you. Maybe. Around here, you can never be so sure.

@Yomo Kimyata is talking about slotting non-set IOs versus set IOs. You don't need to slot entire IO sets. In fact, seem to have a better "break" if you just slot 2 or 3 of them in a power. I often have powers with a couple of accuracy and an end redux or recharge along with 3 IO set enhances. I always run attuned IO set enhances. They cost the same as buying them at the lowest level unattuned ones. Watch what the lowest level is that an attuned set IO can be slotted. Sets usually accumulate to have better bonuses than slotting an SO or non-set IO in some area or another. This is especially true of set IOs that have a global effect across all or several of your powers. I rarely slot non-set IOs. The SO's are good or better until up into the 30's or higher. If the non-set IOs level is 5 below you, and SO at level will be more powerful.

The melee powers on a ranged character are for when the enemy closes on you (for the most part). Not all "assault" secondaries are the same (obviously). I might get 1 or two melee attacks in a dominator secondary, but I am already fighting at a range so I tend to go with the ranged attacks. You are dominating/manipulating your opponents. Perhaps named manipulation to imply the dominating so it wouldn't be confused with Domination. Badly named? Apparently, so. The dominators are a mutation of the controller archetype with blaster backup powers.. Basically, the Dominator secondary is a combination of the Primary and secondary blaster sets.

Yep. But not "effectively seemed" but was a speed run. I'm not including TFs where there is enough TT (Team Teleport) on the team to teleport to every mission (or at least the ones in other zones). I don't consider using TT to determine if a TF is a speed TF or not. Joined more than one that didn't even indicate that it was a speed run. When questioned about the leader about it once runs started and I realized I was on a speed run, the leaders often say something to the effect of "All WTFs are speed runs". I have had cases where I specifically asked before joining at TF if it was a speed run or not, was told it was not a speed run, then one player decides it is a speed run, runs from the door to the boss at the end of the mission, and ATTs everyone to the boss at the end of the map. When the leader was called on it, they didn't care because they had teamed with the other player before. The player responsible for turning it into a speed run was the last player recruited to the team. I find it extremely distasteful to consider speed runs to be the norm. It's an elitist attitude. End-gamers are just running TFs for the Merits. They don't care about an XP. They don't care that a player playing a character in the TFs level range is expecting to run a TF for the XP. They only care about what they want to get out of it. And that is why the End-Gamers consider all WTF to be speed runs ... because the Merits are Doubled, so to them "obviously" all WTFs should be speed runs. I don't play 50's so I never want to be on a speed run. First, I want my character to earn XP because I'm playing the game (not an end-gamer). Second, I enjoy running content at a difficulty level that is doable but a challenge. Third, I enjoy PUG'ing with new players are figuring out how to play the game. (I feel speed runs don't even allow a new player a chance to figure out what is going on). Obviously, put me on the Anti-Speed run side. SEE ABOVE No.

@ThePlagueDoctor186 If you take the tram to Kings Row, exit and turn left. Go under the billboard, across the open lot, across the spillway, jump up onto the road, jump the fence, and you should see the van parked just a bit further up and on the right. The easiest way to find the others to go to the Pocket D and exit out the elevator on the back of the "sides". There are 3 doors leading out of the heroside and a manhole that you can jump down that leads to another zone. I've been using the Altas one or a base teleporter during character creation I run by the one in Kings Row so much that I know that one. With base portals and fast travel, I just don't even bother remembering where the other ones are .... but .... https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Paragon_Dance_Party is where the ravers go anyway. Take the tram to south steel, go out the the rail just outside of the door. Turn a little more to the left. You'll see a building. Head that way. There a lower area. travel to the end of that. Turn left drop down to ground level, and you should be near the door. The door face south. There are two flyers pasted up next to the door.

On most teams end-game teams, it wouldn't be useful. Mostly because of team behavior/bull-in-the-china-shop tactics (aka steamrolling). What it is good for is mainly a "oh #%$!" power. Lock the enemy down with an immobilize and drop the Dimensional Shift on them. Usually gives a team plenty of time to back away from the mob and regroup. That's because it doesn't. I didn't imply that it did.

This is a good example of why the OPs plan "isn't as good as it's cracked up to be". I've lead teams and had player A say "invite Player B". I tell them, "Have Player B send me a tell if they want to join." Player B is standing next to me with Player A. Player A says "They said that they did". I tell them, "They must be on ignore. I don't team with players on my ignore list". I think it has always lead to silence, and Player A staying on the team. At any rate, someone must have told Player B that I was recruiting.

I understand where you are coming from, but I don't think that this would turn out to be as beneficial as you would think. If you have someone on ignore, I'm petty sure is entirely global at this point. The player base isn't as big as one might think based on the number of characters running around (I have well over 100 myself and alt jump probably 10 or more times a play session and that includes server jumping in the mix as well). I'm assuming you use ignore. I use it so much that people drop off the other end (become un-ignored) whenever I put someone on ignore (it is limited to some very small number like 30). Having this would mean that you would - most likely - not be able to join far more teams than you may think. Also if Leader A invites you to a team. You have Player B on ignore. Leader A tries to invite his good friend Player B to join, but now the system won't let him. I'm sure the combat/error message is going to say that Leader A can't invite Player because you have them on ignore. You get kicked from the team. Leader A figures they don't want to deal with the situation again, so they put you on ignore. Now you can't join teams with Leader A or Player B. The larger the team, the more likely this would cause a conflict. So leagues would increase the chances of having someone you ignored already on the league or people being prevented from joining the league because you are already on it. I don't know about you, but sometimes I have people on ignore not simply because I don't want to team with them but also that I don't want them to be able to chat at me (well, yeah, and AE Farm spammers, but I think they have all fallen off the end of my ignore list a good while ago).

Look over on the right in the tree line. I can see some Devouring Earth over there.

My assumption is that you are watching your end and know that you are not running out of end. There is no power that would cause teammates powers to detoggle. There are enemy powers that can cause detoggling if you don't have protection against it. Do you get the power from the P2W that turns-off all your powers? Could you be activating that through some key press combination? This sounds like Dimensional Shift to me. https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Gravity_Control#Dimension_Shift This power a zone/bubble out of phase with normal space. Things inside the field can't attack those outside of it. Those outside of it can't attack those inside it. Characters can move in and out of this bubble, so you can move inside of the bubble to fight the foes inside if it. Once inside the bubble, you become dimension/phase shifted as well. Black Hole https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Darkness_Affinity#Black_Hole can do the same kind of thing as well, but I don't think you can target them. Detention Field https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Force_Field#Detention_Field does the same kind of thing, but it is single target. However, if a target is intangible/phase shifted you can use Phase Shift https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Concealment#Phase_Shift from the Concealment Pool to attack them. Anything intangible/phase shifted is in the same alternate dimension.

Why don't you think that the New 52 was a retcon? Do you think there is a difference between a reboot and a retcon? No. Wally West isn't a retcon of Barry Allen. Wally West was the Kid Flash. Barry Allen is a retcon of Jay Garrick.

I've made characters with Dark, Martial Arts, Savage, and Thorny. I have enjoyed playing all of these. I might have character with other assault sets, but I can't remember offhand. The Dark as for a Dark team. The Martial arts one was for a ninja. Shuriken! Thorny for a variation on the first CoH character I ever made that came from a villains Champions game in the late 1980-early 1990s. The Savage one I made because someone suggested it after I was making a petless beast mastermind just to get the bird attack powers. argh, now I'm looking at my character spreadsheet. I also made a radiation, psionics, earth, and ice. Not that I have tried so far. I have a lot of characters at this point, so I'm trying just to make characters when I get a character conception in my head at this point instead of trying to make character conceptions for every powerset that I haven't made a character for yet. So after looking at the spreadsheet it looks like I haven't made a Energy, Fiery or Sonic dominator yet. Never noticed. I work with what I have access to. Since I'm a character conception player, I'm not so much looking for synergy as much trying to stay aligned to my vision of the character. The Plant one is plant/thorny. Obviously, entirely plant themed. The Ninja one is dark/martial. The ninjas come out at night. The Dark team on is dark/dark. The Bird attack one is a gravity/savage. Seriously, it does fit with the character conception.

Perhaps the reason I pointed out?

Other than having the same name and both being published by DC Comic, Ted Kord being around first, and Jaime Reyes replacing Ted Kord thanks to a retcon. "Now, Blue and Gold #7 from Dan Jurgens, Phil Hester, Eric Gapstur, Paul Pelletier, and Norm Rapmund features the series debut of Jaime Reyes, the younger Blue Beetle. While a new foe has manipulated Jaime into saving Kord and Gold in secret, it's still a dynamic team-up with the three heroes working together to stop the villain known as Nullifex. However, many of Gold's subscribers are confused in the comments section about why there are two Blue Beetles. While it's all thanks to the New 52 reboot erasing past characters (Kord), bringing in new ones (Jaime), and more recent events bringing past characters back (Kord again), it's odd that the DC Universe has a hang-up with there being more than one Beetle (especially considering certain Bat-Family heroes)." - https://screenrant.com/which-blue-beetle-jaime-reyes-ted-kord/

You can also post a ticket directly in the forums by going to https://forums.homecomingservers.com/support/ It is the tab at the top just to the left of [Server Status]

or maybe don't put them on ignore. take screenshots of the chat with timestamp on an upload it to your ticket through https://forums.homecomingservers.com/support/ I obviously agree with using the ignore button for somethings, but turning a blind-eye to wrong doing isn't one of them.

Robot/Electric Ninja/Electric Because I'm a character conception player, I would go with with the Robot/Electric because there just isn't that great of an excuse for electric and ninjas, but I've found that electric just goes too well with tankerminding (or whatever they call keeping minions in defensive mode all the time). I've been into the symbiotic relationship between humanity and technology (The Machine) for a long time. And besides, I don't even think I have a Ninja/electric. Better character conceptions to think of for a Ninja mastermind.

Agreed.
