Welcome Home !

^^^ definitely follow this advice it was first worked out in this thread and then was written out as a complete guide here https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Apparition's_Complete_Guide_to_Praetoria The author has taken a bit of a break from gaming but it is still your best bet for full completion of Praetoria. Coming from someone who watched them restart character after character as the updated process was being formed

But it's the only Melee set where all scrappers will take Confront , because you throw bacon at your enemies.... Though I hear it has a chance to taunt yourself when used

For reference- Story Arc Updates Barracuda Strike Force Power of Black Scorpion (the power required to kill Reichsman) is now always granted to the team leader, regardless of Archetype Defenders now receive Power of Ghost Widow Masterminds now receive Power of Captain Mako Removed broken hospital in the first mission of the Barracuda SF which caused you to get stuck outside the map

Fact checking does the forums good

There is a lot to process here What difficulty are you running at? You can also turn off bosses solo so they get downgraded. Soloing the game doesn't mean being able to do it at the highest difficulty look further into the difficulty adjustments. How are you enhanced ? Keeping these updated goes a long way You can buy Inspirations from many areas, bases, hospitals, contacts, the RWZ, get ones that help you in the areas you might need like some break frees "SHOULD BE ABLE TO BUY,EARN,UNLOCK A PET OR SOMETHING " there are a lot that can be earned and bought in the game. get to 35 and do the intro to Vanguard mission so you can earn Vanguard Merits and do some Mother Ship raids and store up Vanguard merits to get a Vanguard heavy wen you need it , go get Shivans from Bloody Bay, you can buy some from the p2w vendor which has other stuff that might help you too. Backup Radio 500k for 5 being a support At and with a set that has direct heals this could go a long way for you ( pretty cheap as you can sell 1 orange salvage and get the inf for this) these below cost 10 million get 5 uses but are Very strong Signature Summon (Melee Damage) Signature Summon (Ranged Damage) Signature Summon (Support) Signature Summon (Tank) Here is a list of temp powers https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/Temporary_Powers

There is also the Brainstorm test server where you can very easily copy your character over and make any and all the adjustments for free and test until you're happy with it. All with the bonus of a plethora of pylons you desire and no player activity in the zone. No reason to spend time on making a new thing for people to test when they obviously are not using what's already available to them to begin with. That time is spent better elsewhere.

It's a great thing , adds a need for more tactical play and what is that thing melee players always say to "squishies" when they come on here talking about the enemy CC giving them trouble oh yeah " bring Break Frees" . Your inspection tray is your personal support team. Just like you know some mobs have the potential to blind and you might bring a yellow, now certain mobs maybe you need a break free or two or target and take out and cc the member of the mob that is going to give you trouble. 2 mob groups maybe having to use a break free on because of singi > every mob group in the game you may need to use a break free for because they all have cc that will affect you

Just got out of an SSB and the only travel running was sprint. I do have SS but I never run it in SSBs because of how often it gets suppressed off and on. Trained up still no ss on just sprint and it was bugged for me

Raising the zone cap again won't matter for what you want as that means all the more raiders will pile in and more lag then already is made. So you'll still have the same issues that promoted you to make your post. I'm sure a mob with pitchforks and torches is coming soon at the mention of removing the zone MSR as that removes the way many power level their characters and will throw gatekeeping around frivolously as their reason why they it needs to stay.

It's not pointless. There is a group on Everlasting that is running as close to issue 0 as they can. So you never know. Make an SG post a recruitment here and on the discord detailing what you're plan is and what you want. You may just end up surprised

" Forming 5 player team looking for 3 level 50+'s and one under level sidekick for us to keep an eye on to run +4/8 PI non council only missions" When you make the team you set the conditions. Never know you may find a handful of others who enjoy the same thing as you and make some friends to do that type of play often with.

One of the best things of CoX is you can create your own challenge. If you think it's too easy then do something to increase that. Make your own teams and cap at 5 people or less. You have that choice. Also if you are having trouble finding a challenge then try this post https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/26511-ae-801-incarnate-team-missions/?tab=comments#comment-330791

1st mission : the vigilante and rogue were sent to the atlas hospital when they respawned but that put outside the mission area with no way back in within the mission. Ouro'ing out and then using mission to to get back. ( Looks like this is how it is on Homecoming live too) Last mission: the leader got the Black Scorpion buff as intended. The mastermind did get Mako's buff and waa able to use it to sneak past but we're unable to interact with the controls. The Scrapper used the Mako buff and was able to interact
