Are you running away when you need to? (you can run back and string them out once you are a decent way into mission. Wait until they turn to head back to their spawn point and then jump the last guy in line) are you trying to pull, or just rushing in? What is your notoriety set at? (if you need to you can lower it.) Do you have any enhancement slotted? (need SO's? run DFB's they drop SO's) How are you slotting your attacks? (I tend to make the first 2 slots accuracies. IF the power cost more than 10 end, then I slot an end reducer next. Otherwise I will slot an effect enhancement or damage enhancement next. Lower damage powers, use effect for the third slot. high damage powers, use damage for the third slot) I figure if you can't hit them, then you are just wasting endurance. Don't feel weird about using the /help channel in-game or to use the /LFG channel to look for back-up. If you are trying to learn the game, then work to learn it by experimenting with it rather than using mids. The leveling structure is set up so that the enemies should be giving you a hard time when you first run into them and then within 5-10 levels you can start kicking their butts. As you level up, think "what have I been lacking in" and then looks for ways to correct for that either in power picks or slotting. Don't forget to look at the power pools as they can be very helpful as well. And honestly, "builds" and Mids are for level 50's and not leveling characters.

I don't have time to monkey with it right now, but looking at https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Conprint_(Slash_Command), it looks like you would at least need to put <color red><color red>Hello There! in quotes inside of the other quotes for the macro/keybind which I would think could cause issues once the second " is reached in the macro. To me, it appears that it isn't a slash command intended to be used in a macro based on the structure used. I'm assuming this slash command is mean to work as a standalone entry or, alternately, in a popmenu or custom window as indicated on the Wiki page.

Yeah, well, I guess that is why Buttstroke has disorient rather than knock up.

I slot mine with 2 acc, recharge, kb, and Blistering Cold: Recharge/Chance for Hold (and I can't remember what else off the top of my head I haven't played any of my ice/ma blasters for a while.) Knock them up into the air and into a corner or wall, blast them until they try to stand up, and ki push them again (well mine ki push is on auto-fire at any rate) .. well except for those times that they turn into a block of ice and then I keep blasting them until they thaw out. I want to make sure it hits, but it sounds like fun to try to "knock them out of the ballpark"

I like the idea, but agree that it probably would be a pain to program into the game and re-balancing would be an issue. Re-balancing is always a nightmare, so, even though I like the idea, it is probably best to leave well enough alone.

when you have a respec available type /respec I generally do mine in bases. Some people have issues doing them in bases, but that may be due to traffic. Seems like it is best to do them where there will not be a lot of player character activity around you. When you set off the respec, it will dump all your enhancements into a temporary storage bin. (I'm a bit foggy on how this actually goes through as I think I have only 1-3 respecs since playing on Homecoming definitely less than 5) you then pick your powers. once you pick all your power, you then pick slots. Then you slot enhancements. Any enhancements that you don't slot or move to your normal storage trays will be loss when you complete a repec. So make sure to leave space in your enhancement storage trays before doing a respec if you plan not to reslot all your enhancements. If you aren't an avid (some would say Ebil) Marketer then you should have plenty of room to move 70 enhances to the /AH for storage; you don't have to post them for sale in order to use the /ah for additional enhancement (or anything else that you can move to the /ah) for storage purposes. https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Power_Respecification You might also want to think about creating alternate "builds", but that requires supplying the build with its own set of enhancements. You can use that this to make single-target, multi-target, main-tank, archetype-primary heavy, high-damage, etc. builds that you can swap into. (I'm not sure how often you can change builds. I don't use them). https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Multiple_Builds

From your post, there is no telling what information you have provided to others. Well, Number Six is on the Council. Hopefully, they answered your questions. Even though you didn't respond to them in helpful manner. I'm not understanding why you would post your reply inside their quote. Good luck.

What operating system are you using? Can you post the crash logs here? Are you having issues with any other programs crashing?

I haven't done many sewer runs since back. If you go into a sewer network entrance point, turn right, and go into the door there. That door will take you into the Abandoned Sewer Network (https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Abandoned_Sewer_Network) which is level 36-40. I guess the question is why not run the DFBs instead of running around in the Sewers (other than the badges down there) It is easier for a team member to get back to the team if they fall in combat in at DFB. As low level characters in the sewers, characters may not have awakens and, if a character has to go to the hospitals in the sewers, it is often almost impossible for that character to regroup with the team. Also DFB's drop SOs. Plus you will tend to level quicker with DFBs than you would with running with a group in the sewers.

As stated, Everlasting would be the way to go for RP. It wasn't entirely clear in another post; the highest population servers are (from highest to lowest) Excelsior, Everlasting, and Torchbearer. The first two tend to have much higer populations that Torchbearer. If you want to farm, I would go to Excelsior as it has the highest population and you will be most likely to find a Farm that will accept doorsitters there. [I don't condone farming. I think it is a bane to the CoH community in general. My own opinion.] There is a small but active group that make non-Farming missions arcs for the AE - that is to say, using for what the AE was intended to be ... players creating mission arcs that they would enjoy playing and providing the for other players to enjoy as well. And, obviously, these "story" missions are buried by Farming missions. The most PvP that goes on in Homecoming happens in the /ah. Otherwise, PvP appears to be pretty rare at this point and mostly on the weekends. After all this is said, I would suggest to playing the game before going to stay in the end-game. It depends on what "as much as you want" means to you. There is a limit on how often you can transfer characters. Every time you switch characters to another server, there is a chance that your character will have to be renamed. The higher the population of the server that you transfer to, the more likely that the name will already be taken on that server.

Have you tried to use these? /macro fx0 "noparticles 1" /macro fx1 "noparticles 0" The first one turns particles off. The second one turns particles back on, but it doesn't restore all graphics until after zoning.

@Tactic21 I am doing this as well. It seems to be the best solution at this point.

I still don't know why The Pilgrim can't be given trainer functions. He is obviously the Ouroboros trainer. Maybe have them switch from contact to trainer mode once their arc has been completed.

Thanks for adding this comment. It helps people to know not to respond in regard to the game content since you appear to only want to end-game.

Oh, no! I really hate the Praetorian Clockwork! The original Clockwork look so much better to me. Less frightening to Penny? Just put his brain back into a human body (you know the old Ultra Humanite trick!) Well, not in a woman's body or a giant white apes body, but I think you get the point.

"There is nothing else I can teach you." - The Pilgrim - https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/The_Pilgrim He trains characters in the ways of the Ouroboros. Menders can't bother trying to keep track of leveling progress with all their time-foolery going on.

I thought that The Pilgrim was the Ouroboros trainer.

Funding has nothing to do with development. More skilled volunteers is the only way that development will happen faster.

All are bases be long to us.

It seems that if you really want to hold off dialog from showing up, you have to setup triggers (clicking or destroying an object) to spawn npcs that you want to talk at a certain time. And, yeah, it should be corrected for when a character comes within a set range of a group like it does on non-AE missions, but no telling when this will be fixed. Players have been pointing it out for a long time at this point.

Recently, one of my characters completed all the missions in Faultline. https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Aftershock_Badge Earning the Aftershock badge rewards the character 20 reward merits. "Story Arc badges Agent of Order Complete every story arc in Atlas Park Excavator Complete every story arc in The Hollows Aftershock Complete every story arc in Faultline Port Authority Complete every story arc in Striga Isle Story Teller Complete every story arc in Croatoa Agent of Praetoria Complete every story arc in Nova Praetoria Vigilant Complete every story arc in the Rikti War Zone" - https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Hero_Accolade_Badges I'm assuming all of those give an additional merit reward, but I didn't click through all of them to check
