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?

If you've done the Mortimer Kal SF, the Flames of Prometheus temp power converts to a Notice of the Well when you hit 50.
I don't do TF's/SF's

I never do Task Forces due to health reasons. I have to AFK a lot. Anyway, so doing Incarnates with regular content. It should be common knowledge that by Vet Level 12, if you just do regular content like radio missions and tips, then you will most certainly have enough threads and Empyrean Merits to get all of your Incarnates to Tier 3. It's baked into the system, it will happen. Getting your Incarnates to Tier 4 takes quite a bit longer. I too like to use my Shards for the second pass at Alpha. That seems to be the only use for them aside from converting to threads later. If you do nothing but regular content, then getting all of your Incarnates to Tier 4 will happen somewhere around Vet Level 39-42ish. If you have Salvage, you will probably get it done sooner. The earliest I have fully Incarnated was Vet Level 30.
Since I like to solo, I do a lot of content in Dark Astoria. Though when I go there depends on the toon. Usually, after you get your level shifts. I waited until around Vet Level 19 on my latest Sheild/Battle Axe Tanker because I really wanted Tier 4 Ageless before I wanted a Lore Pet. 😄
With the Notice of the Well, when I have done TFs, I usually just convert it to threads. If you want to make a nice amount of threads while unlocking Incarnates, I recommend doing a bunch of Mother Ship Raids. There are so many buffs flying around, that you get a preview of what your toon can be like fully built out.
I generally get to tier 4 on everything around vet 27, but I do like the incarnate content and am often quite lucky with the salvage drops.

To me, this is the best method.
I hear so often about how threads drop so much more, etc..and while that's true, you need 25X as many threads as shards, so they should drop more.
(That's 5 incarnate slots that need threads. You need 60 threads for the t-1 compared to only needing 12 shards for the t-1)
But- as I've stated a number of times, if you're only doing iTrials, shards will never drop - so by all means, use threads. I use threads to get my t-3 as soon as I unlock alpha. Then I hoard the shards until I can get t-4. Just makes sense to me.I personally rarely do the WST so get maybe 4 notice of the well a year. I will use the shards to make a tier or 2 when Im doing the second run of the alpha slot to tier 4, but most times I convert them to threads.

Your account has been banned for 4 hours (until 21:15 11-May-2024).
Still not able to get in. GM Solace wrongly states it is a 24 hour ban. When I correct the GM, they decide to ignore it.
I've checked your account and it's unlocked

Why is that nav bar at the top? I am primarily going to be using that when I'm looking at the map.
Costume changes at the top, because I'm not going to use them all of the time. Same with /lfg speech macros and the Fast Travel menu. Out of the way so that they aren't distractions.
Why is the HP/command bar in the middle at the bottom over the target window? Because I'm going to be watching my recharges on powers a lot and it allows me to keep track of the enemies hps and my own hp/end without looking all over the screen.
When I'm running a mastermind, I have another tray open above tray 5 for the henchman spawn and related power-ups.
If you want to know why I set my 3-stack the way that I do, check this out:
I've tried having the bar with my health lower down but my screen is so big I still don't see it. For some reason my eyes tend to go right so having things I need to see on the right seems natural. As with all things, do what you feel comfortable with and what works for you. nobody else is going to jump on and complain 🙂

If I need another tray for stuff I can always pop it underneath the existing trays. It keeps the screen all neat and I can see everything

I put the extra trays under the main ones rather than above so the temp bar doesn't get in the way

This MFing topic been necro’d twice a year apart.
I am nailing a post it to my ghouls head to remind me to bring it back next May…
I'd normally agree with you and lock this as a necro thread but the information is still relevant and people still ask the same question, so it does serve a purpose

hello everyone, I see everyone is talking about how to shift plus 1, 2, and 3. so how do I get get shift to plus 4 or did they do away with plus 4?? I remember back in the day or at least a while back they was level 54 toons (50 plus 4). just wondering what happen to them or are they still going on, if so how do I get from plus 3 to plus 4. thx so much
You buy an ultimate inspiration from Luna which gives you a +1 level shift up to 50 +4

Without getting into the pro's and cons that people have mentioned, and speaking as a player rather than a GM, I like the idea of the option of an instanced version. These things go in cycles. The MSR instance languished unused for a long time, but has started to pick up in popularity on Excelsior. Now it's at least 50/50 which version the league leader runs.
Each shard has their own way of running these two events, and it's up to the league leaders how they decide to run them. An instanced version would be one more tool for the league leaders to use if they wish.
Saying that, I don't know how hard or easy it would be for the devs to make an instanced version. They also have a lot to do so it's a matter of someone having the time to actually create an instanced version. It also might be an absolute nightmare to create.
Hami is the only one where multi boxing is forbidden. We relaxed the rule on MSR a long time ago, but Hami is a special case.

I must have misread something, but I thought SCORE & HC were two separate entities. (Gist of finally getting around to reading the pcgamer article last night)
They were/are. Homecoming is actually entirely separate and rose from the ashes after the big reveal. SCORE was a different entity.

1. Back in the tequila days it was a common support issue for updates to fail because someone accidentally clicked on the launch button too many times and ended up running 2 copies of the game, not realizing it, and the second copy still being in the background and preventing files from being replaced.
2. Multiboxing is the exception, not the norm, therefore the default should be set for the majority of players.
I did say you must have had a good reason to set it up that way 🙂
I'd never thought of it like that, but it makes perfect sense

I think the night ward arcs come before the fall of Praetoria trials (but I may be wrong)

Those debt badges don't earn themselves you know 😛
I feel your pain though. I've been in pugs where we have been outmatched, and others where we sailed through. The difficulty setting is the key, and +4 can be rough if the team isn't as experienced or slotted as you'd like. A combination of things can make a fun TF into a nightmare slog you just want to end.

So, lately I've been having NOTHING but trouble trying to play the game. I've made a video to show you some of what's going on.
I'm not as computer savvy as some, so I have no idea what's causing it. My PC is capable of, and DOES run much newer games (Star Citizen, Red Dead Redemption 2, etc.) at MAXIMUM settings, with no trouble... so I can't fathom why it can't seem to handle City of Heroes.
Any thoughts?
A couple of things we recommend.
Reboot your router. Sometimes it gets stuck.
Open the laumcher and click the three dots under Homecoming. Click verify. Then click the dots again and settings, then in settings click the reset graphics on next run
When you open the game the screen will open in a small box. Click settings and put the graphics to borderless and not windowed.
Hopefully that helps.

I call them "micro stutters" and I get them constantly. I assume it because the client is reading something related to FX for powers for other people or me from the drive and it does not like something. I have found recently that when I play one of my tankers the client freezes, will not CTD and I have tab into Task Manager a few times to kill it. I looked in the Client logs and found this to be a problem:

The only problem I see a lot of is people are TOO helpful on the help channel and can overwhelm someone with information. Not a bad thing, I've been in games where you ask questions and its tumble weeds, but sometimes even I get confused with information overload and I know what they are asking about 🙂

I also don't want to see Bionic Flea(@Zacking) or Bionic Flea(@Snarky) either! And that is exactly the point of this suggestion. So that everyone can be Bionic Flea if they wanted to. No thanks. There's only one me.
The idea of there being an influx of bionic fleas makes my skin itch. Normal fleas are bad enough 😛
