Factually wrong. If you were right, then no one would struggle with it; yet I am not the only person who found it confusing.
I have to agree with you. Once you know what you are doing then it is, indeed as simple as can be, but for your first one or two characters? It can be very confusing. I was lucky in that I was in an SG at the time (with Goddess Laucianna* before she became the Goddess) who were really helpful. I was all "OK now what?" and they went through it with me in a way I could understand. I still messed up, but that was my fault.
*It was so funny, I left the SG after a year to do my own thing and it was only years later when we were chatting that we realised we knew each other from before 🙂

I have Mender Ramiel pop up as soon as I level up to 50, as well as Officer Nolan in PI to start the Dark Astoria arcs. I agree they can get lost in the list of contacts though.
One thing people get confused by is crafting. The Alpha slot doesn't help having two sets of recipes. The top ones are really hard to get components for and are a legacy from live, where you needed multiple notice of the well and could only get one a week. If you scroll to the bottom you'll see simple recipes using threads and Empyrion merits. The creation section is simple enough to use though, click threads to make common and uncommon components and emp merits to make rare and ultra rare.
The trick to knowing what to do is knowing where you want to end up. Many incarnate powers plug holes in your build. Do you need more damage? Run out of endurance a lot? die from being mezzed or stunned on a regular basis? There's a power for that. Check out the two tier 4 powers and decide which one you want to finish with. You can't respec incarnate powers so once created you are stuck with it and have to create a new one if you decide something else will be better.
Lore is a rather good pet you can summon every ten minutes. some people like the big boys like Banished Pantheon or Longbow, others like the small ones like Polar Lights. I generally go polar lights myself, but some of the human ones can be fun.
Judgement is a nuke. Ion jumps between enemies and can be good for very large groups, the others are either a cone, or a AoE. None of them are terrible.
Opening slots is as simple as doing content. The alpha slot can be opened quickly doing Mender Ramiel, and he also has a lot of stuff on incarnates and how to create and use them.

As far as I'm aware, all trials are the same. All you need is to have reached level 50 and hit things, and be in the trial when it ends and you get a pick off the incarnate table. Master of has different objectives, but you just need to be inside and complete it to get a component.
now waiting for one of my dear friends to tell me I'm wrong 😛

I think it depends on your available inf. For me I generally buy procs and sets as I level. I'll get the three blessing of the zephyr into my travel power at level 7 when it becomes available, and prioritise ATO's. Then as I hit the appropriate level got the procs I need for health and stamina. Otherwise I'll SO until 22 then respec and sell them, then go IO 25's and go up as I hit a level change. When I hit 50 I'll use a catalyst on my ATO's to make the superior, along with any winter sets I need, and buy as many purple sets as I can squeeze in. I buy everything attuned anyway 🙂
I can follow mids when someone else has made a build, I can't create a build from scratch. So generally my powers either have full sets of something or are stacked with useful procs.

Grumble... grumble. I really didn't like the changes to Energy Melee when they first went live. I kinda like it now though.
No one hates you Moogly. Not even me.

I dn't post very much anymore, I lurk a lot and my play is pretty uch just special events but this community and this game still mean everything to me. As a queer person, I've almost always felt at home and welcome here. I remember when our first Pride Event happened and how it was an honest to goodness official event. I also remember the troubles that caused but nevermind, love is love and thanks to this community and this game for being safer places for queers like me.
Happy Pride. I hope you have as much fun at yours as I did at mine the other weekend 🙂

People play how they play. Sadly for a lot of modern players they expect the grind to 50 to be the difficult part and the fun to start once that's over. Despite all the advice (from myself quite regularly) new players still think there is some magic after 50 and get disappointed when they realise that that's basically it. From now on it's task forces, iTrials and mothership raids. There is still plenty to do at 50, but you need to have worked your way up and spent a lot of inf to enjoy them. I see accounts a month old with a dozen or more 50's. I automatically assume they power levelled up as there is no way they can get that many that quickly. Are they enjoying the game? I hope so. Fingers crossed they get bored sitting in a farm and start actually playing.

So I don't know if anyone is still interested in this issue but I found the solution. I had to go into Control Panel, click on devices and then right click on my headphones. Then under the services tab there was a checkbox for Handsfree Telephony. Once I unchecked this box it resolved my issues. Apparently the computer treats the headphones as a hands free device and mutes some sounds so that you can hear what's important if you were on a phone call. Hope this helps anyone else who is having this issue.
glad you worked it out. sometimes its the most ridiculous things

Okay. As they say these days: it gets better.
I don't think I've ever seen a character shift so much from tedious at level 23 to fun at level 24.
In fairness, many characters die a lot early days then get awesome later on. I struggled with a plant dom and illusion controller to start, but with the right powers, more slots and some good sets suddenly I'm a lot more powerful than I had any right to be on paper.

I'm not a busy body, I don't report people. I just laugh and move on. I'm just trying to explain to people who think they know what they're talking about how the law (in the US) actually works.
But the fact that the law does work like this, and that Disney could destroy Homecoming in a situation like this, is a reason that people should at least consider not making a trademarked character. Disney has sued daycare centers because they had Disney characters painted on their walls.
You say "This is low level BS." I say Disney could and would shut Homecoming down over something like this.
Beware the Mouse!!

There are many words that have fallen out of use and been taken up as words in modern media. They can't be copyrighted but they can be trademarked. So words like Sith, Droid, Jedi etc can be used but only if they are used outside the context of the media where they are trademarked. Original creations can be copyrighted, but copyright expires and trademarks don't. You just have to use the trademark to keep it active. Sith is old English, Droid has been used occasionally in the past by other writers, and Jedi is a recognised religion in the US. It's a tangled mess.
If you see something you think breaks the CoC you are more than welcome to pop a ticket in and I'll take a look. It doesn't have to be the full package, it can be the name, costume or bio. Or a combination. I'll make a decision and then act. If in doubt I'll seek advice. I'll also listen to an argument as to why I was wrong and if I am, I will apologise. I have done in the past. Otherwise I'll pass it to the leads to adjudicate. Their decision is final, and contrary to popular opinion will overrule a GM at times. It's rare, but it has happened.

To be honest I was not paying attention. Was running a new Dom. (and distracted by rainbow domination!) and trying to figure my powers against vickies and high end enemies. So I was just grabbing glowies and dealing with mobs in front of terminals. Maybe they were going for that badge. But I went to a CoP where my team dropped the pillar even while screams of STOP were in chat. I stopped DPS above 50% Goal was clearly stated 40 before team assignments. It is the crowded Excelsior we wanted lol.
I've been in CoPs like that 🙂

Much as I enjoyed the show, they needed to breath a bit more. They could have stretched the goblin queen out a lot more and had it be the entire season antagonist. They flew through so many story arcs that it was almost like a TL:DR version of the X-Men

So, I joined a PUG Keyes. I knew at least some of the people were "challenged" when 1 person could not find Pocket D for 5 min. Then we start. I am happily working around the first reactor. I guess team was about half done there. And they killed Anti Matter.
So, do I still PUG? O, yeah. to quote someone i avoid as much as possible...
And most of the iTrials I join are pugs. And TF's. The only time it's not been a pug is when I join Laucianna's 2* ITF
-
There is a badge for taking Anti Matter to 10% health, but it should fail if he dies.

Anyone else get this upon re-install? Whazzit mean?
It means what it says. The build will load but it may have been changed since you made it. Or not. It's just warning you of the possibility

Log in name/account name only matters to you and GM's (when we are trying to find your account). It can be anything you like and can't be changed once created

I've seen a lot of new players, but not seen much increase in bad behaviour. We still have the most welcoming and best community I've ever come across. Some shards are quiet, others are rammed. It's certainly an exciting time 🙂

Sorry, kinda tiny. Full size on request. The two tiny trays at right center are Event stuff, temporary.
(And caught me in the shower, sorry about that.)
That's a heck of a screen. Do you need to take an uber to get from one side to the other?
