Apparition

Just a reminder that raiding of the Rikti mothership will commence in about three hours from now, y'all!

Ahh. Good to know! Thanks.

That's strange. I know for a fact that it does not work for the instanced LFG Rikti mothership raids, and Leandro told me that it doesn't work at all and never did. For Rikti mothership raids and Incarnate trials, the league leader can still invite people to them after they start though through the /li command.

There is indeed a patch this morning, but it doesn't sound like it involves the MM AI fixes. Note that Homecoming accidentally did not update the beta manifest, so you need to use the regular manifest for the time being until the beta manifest is updated. Hopefully soon.

No. Per Leandro, "Willing to join 'In Progress' events" does not work and, as far as he and the rest of the Homecoming developers are able to tell, it has never worked even prior to sunset. There's no ETA for a fix, and it may never be.

Per Discord, they're aware of the issue and are working on it.

Go. Vote. Beat WoW.

Any computer made in the past five years with a discrete AMD or Nvidia graphics card will do just fine. As @AWOL said, avoid integrated graphics.

The best without question is the Banished Pantheon Radial Lore. +recharge, +recovery, and the invulnerable pet actually does damage.

Since late October, I've been experiencing occasional random crashes with the Homecoming CoH 64 bit client, a few times a week. Note that I have not tried the 32 bit client. It started shortly after the October 23rd patch, so I thought that perhaps it had something to do with particle physics as the crashes were normally in intense action sequences in teams or leagues. I tried lowering the number of particles, but I still got the occasional crash. So I tried turning particle physics down from high to low. Still got the occasional crash. I re-validated in Tequila. Still got the occasional crash. Finally, last week, I completely disabled particle physics. Yesterday, I got a crash, and again tonight I got a crash. At this point I'm not sure what it is going on. As I said, particle physics is now completely disabled. Before yesterday, all of the crashes were during combat in a large team or league. Yesterday though was weird. I finished a Rikti mothership raid LFG trial a few minutes ago, and zoned. Once I zoned, I started rubberbanding like crazy, every few seconds. I double checked my connection, and it was fine. The traceroute looked good, and I had no lag while web browsing. A few minutes later, the game crashed. Tonight, I was on a full team, but we weren't in combat. Here's the crash dump from last night: cityofheroes-7z05qj1c53nagg044p3knw3btq.report Here's the crash dump from tonight: cityofheroes-7z05qjdb651std1q7spnkg0vd7.report I'm using Windows 8.1 Pro. The system has 16 GBs of RAM with a Nvidia 980 video card. I'm using two monitors, with CoH normally played on the second monitor in borderless windowed mode.

Probably why it's my favorite blue side zone...

It would, because players would have better control over Hamidon raid griefing. If someone's griefing your zone Hamidon raid, there's not much raid leaders can do other than petition support. From personal experience, that can take several hours if you ever get a response at all. Someone griefing your instanced Hamidon raid? /kick. Problem solved.

Thank you Excelsior for a rocking A Very Rikti Christmas last night! Congratulations to @scubadub for winning the one billion INF U'Kon Gr'ai kill shot prize!

The SG cap was bumped up to 300.

This is in less than thirteen hours from now, y'all!

Nope, not a bug. It was an intended change made when Homecoming first went live. Absolutely nothing in the game now requires simultaneous glowie clicks.

Just a reminder that this is in four days!

Thanks, y'all. My head is still a bit clogged, but I feel much better than I did. I hope to see y'all this coming Thursday!

It's caused by server lag. The timer isn't perfect as a result, so there will normally be another twenty to thirty seconds added at the end to account for it.

Used to?

31 minutes.

Leandro said that he was working on doing exactly this back in late September.

The scheduled ones, yep!

I love Fly. With the sole exception of my farming Tanker, I take Fly, Hover, Afterburner, and Super Speed on every character. I also try to work in Combat Jumping when I can. I use Fly and Afterburner outdoors, and Super Speed indoors. Fly with Afterburner is almost as fast as Super Speed, and feels better than Super Speed. It definitely feels much better than a flight pack from the P2W vendor, that's for sure.
