  1. Well it was a thing. It wasn't a great thing, but it was a thing. I'm still confused as to why Riri made all the bad decisions she did, including the deal she made with Borat at the end. Really? Sascha Baron Cohen?  I can see why it has been sat on a shelf for three years and released the way it was. 

     

    As for the comics, she's never been popular. They kept trying, and her current run is kind of interesting, but like Captain Marvel, she has never resonated with the comic buying public. Ms. Marvel is being pushed massively at the moment, but the Giant Size releases are more a "Hey, remember this massively popular storyline? Let's race through it in a few pages" than anything actually memorable.

    You're thinking of the truly old days with Circle of Thornes.  

     

    For the lost, go south of the tram in between the buildings at the lower end of the map.  I've never had a problem finding 20 to cure there.

    For the lost cure I never even think of anywhere except the Hollows. They are easy to find and in abundance to the left as you enter.

    Zone-specific hunts are the worst. Either the faction you're looking for is near-impossible to find, or the ones that are there con purple to your level. This happens so often, I have to think it's deliberate. Thank goodness for auto-complete.

    Nah area specific hunts is a specific zone are even worse. "Defeat 20 redcaps in the Misty woods". Like, I know it's Croatoa, but where in Croatoa? Do I just fly around till it tells me I'm in the misty woods? Then why is that area quiet and empty?

    I always go to the hollows and search the hills and and neghborhoods just north oif the zone entrance. 

    It might be a zone specific hunt, but otherwise for something like the lost cure then yes the Hollows and the hills to the west of the entrance has them in abundance

    I have started leveling and learning stalker play style.  But what build would be best,  will stealth help to hide from mobs?  Do I really need to contribute a lot to defense or can I go all out offensive?   Just a newbie to playing a stalker looking for advice.  I will post my planned build later 

    I rather like stalkers, and as you grow in level you'll be looking at all the powers. I don't worry too much about builds, I just throw any purple sets that are available into them and seem to do OK. 

     

    Builds are great, but this isn't Diablo. We don't have to worry about clearing pit levels at increasing difficulty. The hard part of stalkers is trying to work out the best place to slot the stalker ATO's so the chance to hide proc is most useful.

  6. It might be your ISP. I'm on 1gb internet and play the game with youtube on my second monitor all the time. Have you done the obvious and rebooted your router? What about if you connect via ethernet and not wifi? You might find changing your wifi channel helps as a lot if ISP's have everyone using the same channel as a default which can slow you right down.

    FWIW, the Mids' Reborn developers don't pay attention to the forums much.

     

    It's a known issue that they're trying to fix.  In the meantime, there's a manual database update.  Download it here.  Extract it, and place the Homecoming folder in your Mids' Reborn data folder, overwriting the Homecoming folder and the files within.

    Thanks for that. It worked fine.

    I tried this. I clearly did something wrong. Do you know if the MIDS team is going to update the regular download? Honestly, I don't play toons without a build so I guess I'll be waiting to try out the new stuff.

    Go to the folder, there is a folder inside called data. Open that and you'll see Homecoming and rebirth. Drag the downloaded Homecoming folder in and let it overwrite the existing folder. I just did it and it worked.

  10. Some fantastic costumes there, and the spooky atmosphere really worked with the location. Excellent job to the organisers and contestants.

     

    Meanwhile I'm here hitting the random button on the costume creator 😛

    I reported a post, and now I am in a nanny state, where-by MY posts need approval. 

     

    A system is only as good as it's enforcers. If a person using the correct method is, themselves punitively admonished, it seems disingenuous, at best.

     

    The multi-million dollar website I help moderate ( since 2009 ) has weekly meetings about policy and policing. All actions taken are reviewed.  I hope, that is the case here as this makes little sense to me.

    If you are talking about your post that got removed, I removed it manually. No automation involved. It wasn't you though, it was something else.

    The missus and I have had weird issues lately, one moment all is clear and fine, the next, bam reds galore, sometimes switching zones brings it on, other times it gets rid of it, like its zone or mission specific.

    Screenshot is inside 'Investigate Warrior Earth'

     

     

    *edit* Just now ... with that netgraph, I oro'ed out, and its perfectly clear in oro, its also clear in atlas.

    That's......... not good.......

    Have you tried the obvious of rebooting your router and seeing if a wired connection has the same problem? Then it's an ISP issue. Changing the channel you use for the wifi canhelp as the default can get congested with everyone else in your are.

     

    I'm slightly worried that you've been on some dodgy web sites. (Not those, get your mind out of the gutter!! 😛 ). You might have a virus or spamware that's using your resources behind your back. If it's not the ISP or the wifi channel then doing a deep clean with a respectable antivirus and antimalware could help. 

    I'm not an expert at all, just advice I've taken that's helped me and passed on to other players.
