Thanks for replying @Cobalt Arachne. This is really appreciated and I hope it gives some players, who wanted to hear from the team, and the devs hope that we can talk more if people are willing to remember that everyone here is just a person who loves this creaky old game. Really interesting to hear about the set-up, can’t believe there’s only one 3D artist! Out of interest, roughly how long did the base Dr Aeon SF take to get working? Or was the hard mode side of it so intertwined that it’s hard to tell? Quite a few people here have expressed hope for new TF/SFs or even a PTF (goldside). Basically, did the timescale mean the idea of making new ones something you guys dread?

hard agree - was just trying to understand where the confusion was from. The GW lore makes a point of saying she is tethered (correct work?) to something which means she can still be around. Numina doesn’t require that!

@Rudra RE: This point, I would argue the semantics around how she is described confuses things and is understandable... In the Ghost Widow arc there is a text line that suggests she is a ghost. Mission Objective(s) Numina won't be the first hero you've taken out, or the first ghost. But it should be a memorable experience nonetheless. It is up to our interpretation what she is. She is listed as part of the "Surviving Eight", so I guess its about whether you consider "(astral or ghost) life after (body) death" as being "alive" or "surviving". But that's a philosophical debate. I'm inclined to follow the lore provided in the game. The Ghost Slaying Axe doesn't do extra damage to her, however it does do more to Shivans oddly? Here there is a section called "Enemies that not are Undead", Numina/Woodsman/Diabolique/Ghost Widow are referenced: https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Undead_Enemies, they are "animated through other means". So, I don't think she's a ghost and is - in the parameters of the game's lore - an astral projection. I suspect the odd reference to her being a ghost, largely in redside arcs, is because they're making sweeping statements and being evil/ rude about her. On this point... This is plainly incorrect, again shown by the lore of the game. The Midnight Masters are listed as "Undead" and full of magic: https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Midnight_Masters#Ghoulish_Mystic However! I agree more could be done with War Witch and like the sentiment that @KingCeddd03 is evoking. Her arc and getting her body back is interesting. She is a character where things could be continued. Would love to see the comic trio back!

Don’t really understand the reaction @KingCeddd03. You do you mate.

I’m yet to try any Yins because I haven’t had a chance to look at a rough build with the new power changes. Jealous!

- The portals in PI seem like an easy event. Taken over by those possessed scientists. We have to beat 100, find where they've built an extra portal to summon a demon or something, we go into a building, fight more CoT, then the big bag demon. Full team suggested, but scales so can solo. Similar style to this: https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Syndicate_Takedown - A DE invasion from Eden into FF would be fun. Happens as a retaliation after completion of the Eden trial. - If Johnny Sonata's arc didn't cover it, I'd say a Wailers/obelisk event in St Martial would be fun (one of my fav groups to fight) - An event where, for Dr Aeon, you stop the Luddies from inadvertently destroying the PTS and unleashing Bat Zul

I'd quite like it if the Nova form detonation powers had the gravity pull effect on the main target you're attacking. For example, the Nemesis Warhulk gets Gravitational Pull for 3 secs, sucking everything into it and causing a KD. This would have the net benefit of - if you slot a KB>KD - an added slot across the board. Or, in Dwarf form, if you use maybe the heal (PB) or the Mire (WS) you gain that aura for 5-10 seconds. I feel like thematically both could warrant having it in some power/form. They're space/star themed and the WS already has some mentions of gravity. Also, bring back Shadow Cysts!

I dunno. Fighting defeated enemies makes it much safer.

Massive respect for this. I’ve only managed an 8-man 2*!!

I saw a couple of the costumes by @Troo and @Yellowjacket using the new shrink + bobble head costume hologram... And it made me wonder if - in the pipeline - there's a size/shapeshift set in works. I appreciate YJ's toon might've reminded me of the Marvel toon. But it's been talked about before, I think another server has something to do with size... It might be like a temp EMBIGGEN power for a costume contest or something. But I'd love an Ant-Man/ Giant-man set: +Def +Acc +global KB +Rec +Rech when small, +Res +global KD +Dam +Regen -Rech when big.

Thought I’d come back to this after finally running it. I agree that it wasn’t hugely challenging. But the half IO’d fire tank, the blaster, the brute and one of the scrappers I just ran it with would not agree. There were some hairy moments when the aforementioned Tank and Scrapper overestimated their survivability and I had to drag aggro from the squishies after their corpses lost it. I’d argue that most of the incarn arcs aren’t too bad if you’re kitted out. So it is exactly what I expected from an incarnate arc, however I think that they could all do with a bump - across the board - as they’re meant to be harder. No HM level. But just a bit tougher. The badges are good. It’s great to have new content. I quite liked the maps, at least it wasn’t a council or CoT cave. But I can kinda see where OP is coming from, but will defo run again on other toons to see what it’s like.

I had a look and a try at the rebirth changes and - while I liked the Idea of it - I didn’t like the fact that I ended up losing powers. Atm I can do nova detonation > dwarf flare > human flare for real damage across a group. A shared recharge doesn’t entice me. I wouldn’t mind if a couple of powers were changed depending on the form I.E. Pulsar when used in Nova works like the new gleam power in Illusion Dom, is the same in Human atm, and adds a -dam when in Dwarf. But changing em all worries me! While I’m here though… Could we get Cosmic Balance text to include the buff from Sentinels?

how are you finding it? Had a chance to play? 🙂

I didn’t think the proc would fire as they can’t be buffed? Then again, this will be my first illusion too so am very open to advice! on the test I didn’t notice the KB at all. Played it a fair amount. However I was using with /energy so might’ve missed it. I didn’t slot it with a converter - city of data says that should only hurl should be KB? https://cod.uberguy.net/html/entity.html?entity=pets_decoy_dominator

Aye this is what I found on live. Really slowed me down in the end. I was also using whirling hands too much which I think in hindsight isn’t great. I’ve not used /dark or /savage on a dom before. Part of me is leaning to dark so I have an immob in MG, quicker recharging heal, and more -tohit. However I really wanna give the benefits of savage a try. I guess with the power order changes it won’t take much to try both and feel them at fairly fleshed out levels.

Any idea if Mids has been updated yet?

aaaah sweet. Fair play. I’m toying between dark and savage now. Can’t decide!!!

My tri-form PB, despite looking like a lobster/crab 2/3s of the time, feels so much like Captain Marvel. Ice/Ice sent feels like Iceman to me, if not a little obvious 😉

Just popping in to say these are really helpful for my sort-of-planned Illusion/Savage Dom.

Tyger, have you tried this on live yet? I'm really interested in giving Savage a go. I did /energy on Test but I guess I've never really looked at Savage and think it'd be interesting. End discount, more rech AND a heal? Great.

If anything I see the opposite in the game! So often there’s just people sitting in LFG asking for farming. “Hitter LFF”/ “PD farm team farm team looking to help lvls 1-10” etc. People don’t spout out and give them rubbish for it, unless they’re being incessant, there’s dedicated channels for it too. I understand that the thread is here for those people to vent their frustration, but so was the focussed feedback thread, so was the 30 pages thread about how moving AE was a slight, another about how the standardising of powers was a direct attack, the one about fire powers now doing -def was a clear indication that everyone is “out to get us” (despite you being able to change that in AE and still get full rewards), and how fixing the DXP bug was a clear sign of people’s hatred of fire farmers. But you can still do it. Please, I yearn for people being chatty on here - especially if it’s about something other than farming. I am sorry that people feel victimised or stigmatised. While I find it odd that people get so upset they leave the forum, I hope they still play the game. I honestly couldn’t give two hoots if people farm, we’ve probably all done it a bit, knock yourself out lads. It’s just the same arguments over and over, like a broken record, from the same people, that are frustrating.

Stop giving me toons I wanna try 🙂

Off topic, somehow, but hard agree with this. Mentioned it on both the focussed feedback pages for FM and FA. The consume one in particular woulda helped.

If we ever get the Guardian type AT (Melee/ support) other serves have I’m gonna make an army themed Spines/Poison toon and call it ‘General Discussion’.

If you still enjoy the game but hate how toxic the forum has become - why not just chill out from the forum for a bit and just lose yourself in the game? I so rarely see toxicity in there. I can’t understand adults getting stressed about something so minor. It’s the same 15-30 people arguing in every thread.
