GM Crumpet

Great mind think alike. One of the first toons I remade back from live is a drag queen who won the first series of RuPauls Drag Race Superhero!!

Please keep on topic. All side topics have been removed.

no probs, moved it to the correct place

Locking this thread. What started as a fun discussion got unpleasant really fast.

Penny is probably the closest thing the game has to a Phoenix level entity. Her telepathy is off the charts and her telekinesis is limited only by her imagination. Imagine what she would be like if she became an Incarnate. I think even the Battalion would find her a handful. And she's barely an adult. I dread to think what she will be like as a fully grown woman experienced in her abilities. And it's nice to see Signature heroes actually showing why they are signature. Occasionally you'll see them in action like Ms. Liberty and Manticore and Penny, but most times they are being held prisoner by an enemy they should realistically swat like bugs. At least someone like Lady Jane has a realistic chance of dying once you rescue her.

Cipher is on it. Something technical I didn't understand a word of involving the people who host our servers, but apparently it's more an annoying glitch than a catastrophe

loving this thread so much 🙂

Is it down again? I've tried connecting several times over the last couple of days and just got the error

I do like polar lights

Try using the new launcher instead https://manifest.cohhc.gg/launcher/hcinstall.exe

Fun thread, but just a reminder to newer players. Any copies of characters name/bio/ costume will at some point come to our attention and with a wave of our super cosmic powers you'll find yourself naked, nameless and with no memory of who you are 😛 But I agree, most named characters are not easily copied. Power creep in comics is massive and annoying. Superman started with laser eyes, super strength and super jump. Mutants in the X-Men comics had one basic ability which they used in interesting ways, but suddenly secondary mutation became a thing, everyone became an Omega level mutant, and the only thing that stopped them taking over the world and enslaving humanity was "reasons".

Please keep this discussion civil. Everyone has a right to an opinion, and they also have a right to have that opinion differ from other peoples. I'm sure a lot of the different opinions will change for better or worse once the show is released, but that will also be a personal opinion. Myself I love the movie Howard the Duck, but I can also understand if you think it's the worst movie ever made and that I'm bonkers 🙂

Well its working fine when I click on it. I just had to go on to point someone to the patch notes

I don't really like bagels. I've tried them a few times and even fresh they feel stale. It seemed a waste of the bacon lettuce and tomato

Reasonably accurate, especially the whole drama thing. People seemed to be highly offended they weren't invited to play, as if it was a personal slight against them. The reality of course is that it was secret because they were trying to keep it alive and didn't want NCSoft closing them down. As for original devs and moderators, I personally haven't seen any, or had someone reveal that they were, but it doesn't mean they aren't about. I'd love it if some of them were . I met War Witch at a convention once and she was awesome.

Yellow names are the Homecoming admin team. They do all the day to day running of stuff, some do maintenance, others do more backend stuff. The devs do what devs do, I assume it involves cake, pizza and screaming along the lines of "Why won't it work?? It worked earlier, why won't it work now?? And now it's working why is that broken??" repeatedly. Green names are associate admins who do important work like hosting the wiki, maintaining and updating the Mac client, helping players with quite technical questions, and generally being on the side of the Admin tree rather than inside it. Orange are Leads, who are GM's with more responsibilities who are generally the final arbiters when it comes to disputes, then you have the day to day GM's like me And Impervium. We hang around, chatting, doing tickets, pulling Amy out of rocks, that kind of thing. We try to give good advice to players, but sometimes we get it wrong and players take great delight in pointing that out. "You said it gave +5% accuracy, but I think you'll find it's actually +5.25%...." 🙂 There is a lot of overlap, so it's not like this Dev is only involved in costumes and that Dev is only involved in power proliferation. They have their areas of expertise but it's a team effort and a lot of stuff is a collaboration. As for DMing anyone, if you have a ticket reply off a GM and you want to discuss it then please feel free to do so. Otherwise pop it in a ticket. We do look at them all and will pass them upwards to the relevant person if need be. DMing anyone not in the actual GM team will probably not get a reply. As for roles and identity, some people like to do their thing in peace and quiet and anonymity . Others enjoy interacting on discord or the forum. It's just a personal choice and they may well be lurking in game or on here in their player accounts. And considering that up until recently I was the main GM responding to tickets, I'm sad nobody mentioned me 😞 😂

Sadly it's one of the things that's locked in and permanent

We know what's happened, Willow will speak to you privately.

I remember the ticket and Willow's reply. she is looking into it

As per OP request this thread is closed

You can always DM me on discord. I can't promise to answer your questions, but if I know or am allowed I can try. Some things I truly don't know, other things I'm obviously not allowed to say, but if I know the answer I'm happy to clarify any queries you might have. Things you brought up in your post like microtransactions, we feel the same way and it's not even on our radar. The other stuff is pretty much where we would like to go. New content, continuity etc. The name thing is harder due to the way the game stores stuff in the database, but please pay me. I have dogs who need feeding 🙂. Seriously, we all do this for the love of the game and our respect for players. Helping as a GM has been a privilege for the last nearly 2 years and is still as satisfying now as the day I started

We are very firm in the neutral ground area. Politics and "flavour of the day" stuff is very much out of bounds as far as possible. Sometimes we don't get it right, but we try for inclusivity no matter the race, gender, gender identity, sexuality, political opinions etc. I honestly can't see that changing, we are a multinational team from all corners of the world and one countries hot button topic is another countries "meh". I'm sure Americans don't care about a minor British scandal, or an Australian election problem any more than we non Americans care about a particular politician or scandal dominating the landscape over there. It may be relevant to you in real life, but not in this game.

Hi This is not the place to discuss this issue. Please use the ticket system so that it can be discussed in private.

I'm a little confused as to why this is a problem? It's not a player file as such, it tells the game exactly where you have organised the list of characters. It's editable because occasionally it can give two characters the same number and so they appear on top of each other and you need to change the number to make the "missing" alt reappear. You have 300 alts organised where you want them. You may have a screen for each AT, or blue/red/gold, or any number of logical ways to find the alt you want to play. Without the playerslot there is no way for any organisation to work. Every time you log in the order is the order created. No other possibility. With a 1000 slots over 5 shards you'll spend ages searching for the one you want. When you drag your alts round so they are where you want them then log in fully the game edits the playerslot so it's current. You can stop it doing this by making it read only, but in my opinion that actively makes your game worse not better. You can also easily copy the file and send it to a different machine. I have a desktop at home and laptop at work. If I move stuff round and do housekeeping I'll email myself the current playerslot file and just drag it to where it's needed. No need to do all that work again.

All complete and fully funded for another month. Thank you to everyone who contributed
