Notices it was American, United and Delta . . . Not Southwest because nobody would click it then 🙂

Who doesnt like a good trebuchet!

if resistance is resistible then is it not futile? Asking for a friend from the Delta Quadrant.

This was the first title of the Katrina and the Waves song.

A guy mentioned it; backup singers. I have a Thugs MM called Sleazy Record Exec whose thugs are named after boy band members; Timberlake, Fatone, Brown, Osmond. Fun

Pain Marty? Try Prison. For me, Homecomings alterations make the play time that I have due to work and home and other real life things more valuable. The relative ease in moving around now compared to live makes me happy. Comic books and cartoons do not spend time showing us the drive to the battle unless there is exposition to go with it. Why shouldn't the game short-cut those same things. I have mentioned before that I run an Project OuroDev server at home (i25) like it was at shutdown (for the most part) and let me tell you, I wish there was a release of Homecoming the same way because ouch. Sure there are changes but fundamentally its still the same game I love.

This sounds like Mork From Ork trying to describe sex. Or maybe Demolition Man.

Me have body by Superadine.

I have so many issues, I saw the subject line and couldn't not put it to the tune of ice ice baby.

I like the Nemesis event for the spectacle of it all. The same goes for the Rikti Invasion event. But @Greycat pointed out the Steel Canyon fires and it got me to thinking about them and the Troll Rave. I like those events very much, in large part because they grant practically zero experience unless you are actually in the level range. They grant badges but that's about it so there isn't a mass of players LFG or LFL for it, usually maybe only 1 or two at the most if that. Yet I find them fulfilling, especially the fires. Oh my Chief Williams gave me an improved firefighting pack. Sweet. Oh I like experience and enjoy most of the zone events but there is something about saving a kind of slummy building from burning to the ground. Stupid Hellions.

If you search the internet (not the dark web) there are several reputable services that could probably provide a variety of different types of doms for your needs. Wait. Wrong forum. Curses.

The smell of fetid water all stagnant and stinky. I've been to Venice, its no picnic in the summer.

I have the Global with a lot of stuff stripped out but all zone events added. A lot of the items are duplicated in other tabs. LFG stays here even though it gets cluttery and sometimes spammy. I have Help for Help. I have Combat for Combat. If I have real pets (or a lot of pseudo-pet activity) that I want to review I sometimes parse out pet chat items into a separate tab. I have General for General channel. I like gabbing it up sometimes there but when clowns start on stupid things like panda conversations I have to have it not visible because I would shoot my computer I have a Talk channel for the Coalition and SG chats

I made a conscious effort when I discovered Homecoming to be responsible with my alt-itis compared to live. and so far I am pretty okay. I flush alts who cease being something I will dust off; I strip them and flush them. My rule is 30 on the server I favor. If I get a hair to create a new one (which I do often) then I move one to Everlasting or flush. Everlasting is for those I do not really do anything with but might revisit or when Excelsior goes Tango Uniform for more than a minute. This has allowed me to focus on enjoying the ones I have more than I used to so it is working for me.

Steel Canyon baby, a nice little condo overlooking Platinum Lake and plenty of Outcasts to take my frustrations out on.

I want the name my main I had on live from beta to shutter, the name that is my global, not OG or with no spaces or underscores or weird characters, I just want High Beam back. And since I have the global name you know its some beam rifle guy who may or may not have made it to 50 and hasn't been played again not an awesome energy blaster. So even if the name change goes in effect it is still lost to me. Le sigh.

I was running solo and got bounced but saw that there were almost 400 players still on when I pulled up server stats (helpful btw). and I was able to log right back in.

I have a Merc/Traps MM who I created to replicate my old one from live like as soon as I discovered HC. I played her up and remembered the pain. Stopped at around 30. Then the change and wowzers, so much difference. Respec and took Serum and altered slotting, double wowzers. Plus Proc-ville. Drove her hard to 50 and had fun with it which is not how the memories were from Live.

I chose the second option of sure as long as it didn't impact the majority of Homecoming. I have a private server running at home that me and my nephew (when he visits) play on occasionally, its the OuroDev version (i25 I think its called) so if I really want to go as old school as possible I can. The appeal of it wears off pretty quick though, especially certain QoL aspects in HC that aren't there as well as certain powers. But, if they could make one a patient zero server that exists in a static warp bubble and has zero to very very little impact on the rest of HC then sure, there is a market for just about everything.

Aristicats! Love it!

I like Jell-O

Most people's costumes are wretched so the correlation to bad or bland costume contest winners is logical. I have won a few and I know they weren't the best. Some in fact would probably fall under the category of bland. But I stopped participating in and then even going to view costume contests because of the ire they began to draw from me due to the good not winning. To me they have become like watching Antiques Roadshow and seeing something that should have great value being appraised low while something pathetic is valued high. "This beautiful, unblemished oak desk built by one the most desirable furniture craftsmen in the history of the United States was the desk Abraham Lincoln sat at when he wrote the Emancipation Proclamation and even has a draft in the drawer authenticated the Most reliable authenticators in the world. I'd value it at $1,000 due to the market being on the rise." "This beat up baseball was signed by a tier three baseball player who signed every piece of memorabilia ever shoved in front of him. $10,000, maybe more if you find the right buyer becuase . . . Baseball?" (or swap that out with Civil War stuff but only if its Confederate for some horrible reason) It's freaking maddening

Let me dig around Book 2 of my fan fiction epic. I developed the major and minor islands. One is volcanic (active not Baat'Zul Active) with pumicites of largeness on it. Another is actually a zombie island (all of the dead wash up there due to currents). Plus the Sea Devils and the two pirate factions and a crashed Rikti ship and a Circle of Thorn's Black Pyramid of Evil and Arachnos mutagen testing facility and an old 5th Column base locked in time since World War II and an invisible island plus a whole "disturbance surrounding the region causing craziness. Oh and the disintegration pillars. I was really bored during peak COVID 🙂

I got it from here but when I get home from work I will pull out my map for the box buy to verify. I remember it being there for like ever because I wrote some crappy fan fiction back in the day referencing having to go to Skyway International. City of Heroes Homecoming Wiki Page
