GM Crumpet

Nothing to see here. Moving on....

Mr G is one of those people it pays not to underestimate. All the people you recruit are experts in their field (except subjugator) and in their current state need someone like you to help bring them out of the very bad situations they are in and start to rebuild some kind of power base. As someone else said, they are using you as much as you are using them. But that's not a bad thing. They are useful contacts (if it was real life) and you are an incredibly powerful ally they know is trustworthy (a rare condition in their line of work) and they know you will keep your end of any bargain. They also know from first hand experience that if they don't keep their end of a bargain you'll wipe them out without a second thought. If something goes horribly sideways they have someone they can call on in an emergency. Gameplay-wise everything resets at the end of the arc, but if it was real life the network of contacts you accumulate as you progress would be incredibly handy. As Dorian Maldovar said, " If that man is finally collecting on his debts, God help you, and God help his debtors."

Please keep discussions to the film, it's budget and that area and avoid discussing real life issues. I understand the actors comments are inflammatory, but if it gets as bad as the posts I removed I'll have no option but to lock this thread.

here you go war bandit final.mbd

Sounds like a corrupted graphics file. Try verify. If that doesn't work then @Michiyo can tell you what files to delete

Also, you can convert one component into another for a small price. That white you can't use? Convert it into a white you need. (Same applies for all the other rarities)

I'll run Heather on -1/1 and just run to the mission objectives. I can do it in 10 to 15 minutes depending on the alt. It gives you a pick off the incarnate table and a random common incarnate component. You lose a lot in XP and inf, but as you are farming for components it's worth it. The chances of the incarnate table are standard, so you have as much chance of a purple pick on -1 as you would on +4. As for threads, you get them for everything you do at level 50. Even joining an MSR will grab you a haul of them. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe incarnate content has a higher drop rate than normal content. And yes, empyrian merits drop every 3 levels and are used to craft orange and purple components. If you have enough you can convert them to threads in the incarnate crafting menu. You can also convert shards into threads. (It's upgrade I believe)

In fairness I tell Michiyo if I see something and ask her to do the edit as I'm utterly useless at this kind of thing. I've had to edit the GM wiki a couple of times and it's always rough 🙂 (And no, you can't get a link to it 😛 )

This thread seems to have it's ups and downs

Hi I think you went to the wrong place as you can't change your account name once created. To change your game login go here https://forums.homecomingservers.com/account/

The devs do follow the suggestions and bug forums closely. Some suggestions have been taken on board and implemented, others not. There have been a few times when a dev has gone "oooo I love that idea" and done something with it or looked and realised it wasn't possible. Same with bugs. Many of the longstanding ones are unfixable, or would take a lot of time and effort to recode entire portions of the game, and in many cases it's not worth it for the small irritation the bug causes. Big bugs get fixed of course, especially if they are game breaking. Sometimes Number Six will roll out a hotfix in emergencies.

locking this thread. It seems to have run it's course

Who left this heavy bag of influence on my doorstep? Looks like I can get those superior winter sets I've had my eye on

Moved to bug reporting section

As others have said, you need to create a game account here https://forums.homecomingservers.com/gameaccount/ You need both a forum and game account to play

I've tried selling white and yellow on AH but it's usually for pennies. Vendor is 250 for white, 1K for yellow and 5K for orange. don't sell orange at vendors.....

If your salvage is full just sell it at any vendor. White and yellow are mostly vendor trash unless you are doing a lot of crafting. Orange is best sold on the auction house (list it for 10 inf, trust me) and sells for around half a million, give or take.

Hey, you think our warnings are bad? I used to get GM Miss warn me occasionally. It wasn't the warning that hurt, it was the fact she was so sad and disappointed in me. That was what cut deeply. I still miss her.

Basically everything said here. Having servers in two countries means that on those occasions when one goes down for any reason we can immediately switch countries with a minimum of downtime. We rent the servers, so we can have as many shards as we want (in theory) at no extra cost. There is a lot more going on behind the scenes such as admin programs, backup and monitoring software and again, having separate servers means we can switch if there are problems easily. Long story short, it would be a lot of work and create a lot of bad feeling in the player base to do something that would ultimately take a lot of admin time for zero gain and actually reduce our flexibility

I like being anti-social and mostly play on Reunion. If I want to team I'll pop onto Excelsior.

I've said many times it should be off by default, but nobody listens

The only thing we've done is the weekly nerf of regen

Victory was spun up in the early days by Michiyo who is a Homecoming admin. She ran the server along side Homecoming and it uses the same code and CoC as us. Eventually she found her HC duties were taking a lot more of her time and she couldn't give the players on Victory the time needed so it was decided to fold Victory into Homecoming. It's not that Victory was ever a separate thing, more that it was an early iteration that didn't collapse like a lot of the early servers. Rather than close it down and delete her players progress it was folded into HC so they carried on as before, just with a bigger player base to interact with. Unlike Vanguard (which will remain separate and act as a beta shard) Victory was identical to HC in every respect so folding it in as another shard was relatively easy. And yes, Vanguard is also under the HC umbrella. It acts as a testing ground before patches and updates go live.

To clarify. We don't discuss other servers or what they do as they have no right of reply and while the team has nothing but good will towards them and wish them well, sometimes players get quite heated and it's unfair on them and our players are better than that. We also don't play on those servers, don't keep up with their updates, and have no contact with them. If they do something and we do something similar, or vice versa, it's serendipity not plagiarism. As teams we often think along the same lines and what one person thinks is a good idea others also feel the same way. We might all implement it differently, but if one person thinks of something you can guarantee someone else will too. I imagine they have done things similar to what we have done, not because they are copying us but because it makes sense and someone has put in the time to code it. As a few people have said, they do their thing, we do ours. Sometimes they look similar, sometimes they don't. As a team we are glad they exist to give players a choice of flavour. The more people play the better and it's good to see the game in such good hands with other admins and devs who are as passionate about the game and player base as we are. Their choices aren't ours, but that's what makes it so much fun. It would be a sad world if we all went "Our way is the only way".

We don't discuss what other servers do or don't do. We do our thing, they do theirs.
