Your character name: Moxx Your Global handle: @Nyx-Astraea Your base’s name: Radio Mayhem The shard it is located on: Reunion The passcode for entry: MOXX-6279 The category your base is entering under: Misc Contributing builders’ names or Global handles: Just me 🙂 Any additional information you wish the judges to know beforehand: Moxx is a Mastermind (Thugs/Sonic) who is part of the Crusader faction of the resistance and uses her sonic abilities to control people. After crossing through the portal, she's now hiding out in Boomtown (the location of the base) gathering supplies and 'supporters' from refugee Praetorians.

Unfortunately I think I've exhausted all the sellers on Ebay, I even know two know on a first name basis since they were able to supply most of the cards I collected! I still need roughly 77 cards from the expansion 'Secret Origins' that came out a year after the core set 'Arena' came out. If you do check and find some you'd like to trade/sell, send me a DM please! 😄

As a little kid me and my dad collected cards, from Pokémon to Yugioh to random cards from all sorts of places. In 2006, with the release of the City of Heroes CCG, we started collecting them too. Now years later I have adult money that I can spend on frivolous things, and since Homecoming has brought me back childhood nostalgia I started collecting cards again from the COH CCG. After a few years of hunting on second hand websites and nerdy thrift shops, I collected all the base Arena cards! Chuffed that I managed to accomplish this feat, I thought it would be simple to get a few of the Secret Origins cards and complete that collection too.... how wrong I was... After a few months of searching I managed to scrounge together just over half of the SO cards, but I feel that my luck has finally run out. So I've come here to ask for advice, help, or maybe even find people who might have a few of the SO cards lying around that they would be willing to part with. Would anyone be willing to help by providing collector websites that wouldn't be readily available on Google, or know of someone who might even have some of the cards lying around? I'm not all that interested in foil cards - they would be cool, but I think my Arena collection has like 2 in total since they're so high in demand. I've set realistic expectations that they're probably impossible to get. P.S.: I was even thinking that if I can get higher quality images than those on the wiki I could even print them out myself (maybe even make a custom character card using the wayback machine on the old website alongside a few ~Warshade~ powers). I found a handful of websites that offer similar card stocks so it would be doable if a comprehensive high quality picture database could be created.

I'll also take a look at the arc! I'm so sorry for your loss, take care, and best wishes to your family during this time.

Okay so I've been thinking about this... - So hear me out... What if we add a third zone (or Fourth if you want to do my Atlas Park/Shroud City idea 😛 ), that is literally just the road between Praetoria and First Ward. Like you could make Praetoria's first Task Force where you need to protect and escort a D.U.S.T./Resistance convoy heading to First Ward from all the Devouring Earth. It could be a nice segway into the underground maps as you need to get supplies into the city to safely start spelunking into the underground with your faction's support. Imagine a long strip of winding roads with the RWZ Vanguard vehicle type mechanics of them moving, and then you have a few dozen faction soldiers running alongside them gunning down endless swarms of DE trying to overrun your convoy. It can be one non-stop action packed fight from beginning to end. Obviously as a TF it won't be the only mission, so the rest can focus on establishing a foothold in the underground and doing a mini introduction to what it has on offer and what enemies are available. Plus as an added bonus you can explore what the world looks like outside of the sonic barriers. You can make it support the lore by having the DE not wiping you out because of Cole's deal, but obviously for appearance sake you still need to be attacked. I'm thinking something like Last of Us aesthetics, overgrown gas statons, broken down cars as people fled, low level infected humans wandering around harassing you, lichen colonies set up as booby traps - you know, basic end of the world environmental disaster type stuff. Also as a fan of Cole (All hail), it could add more depth to his character by showing actually how dire the situation is outside of the barriers. Maybe leading into pro-Cole missions later on... maybe... I know it's off topic but I'm still salty that having a loyalist character you basically just give up on supporting Cole and his invasion.

I agree with everything said in here so far, but just to add my two cents to the conversation I feel a few AE arcs can also be introduced into the game like Radio/Newspaper' type missions. Granted it would be nice to have an actual contact to talk to in the game world, and getting to choose where you need to go to do the missions and talk to random contacts in the game world itself. I think most dedicated AE authors, like the people mentioned above, are actively trying to make arcs that are lore friendly. Everyone here is trying to answer some question or expand on some aspect of the game. Mine too are centered around certain aspects of the lore that I want expanded on, and just took it upon myself to write those arcs and be as lore friendly as possible. To give an example, I'd say my arc on the Nictus war tries expands on things that, in the AMAs, they said had reached a dead-end due to staff changes with people who were working on it leaving the team. So 'Kheldian Uprising' attempts to add to it by establishing the Nictus as a genuine Nemesis/Council style threat. It has you explore the origins of the Nictus, deal with the head honchos on Earth, and hopefully add gravity to the entire war; while still being open ended enough that there can be further expansion on the topic in either direction moving into the future or past. It was also my first arc! As a bonus expansion on my point, the following section contains spoilers for my Webb of Destruction Arc; I'd recommend you play it yourself before reading this, but here's a bit of behind the scenes: All in all I think if it were up to me, all our missions would be added to the game! Loads of authors seek answer questions, and I think adding them to the game would make the entire lore aspect better... only problem is trying to get all the overlapping stories to fit into a larger narrative (and getting people to actually read the arc content)! 😜

Hi everyone! I wanted to start this topic to suggest any powers that people want to see have alternate animations in the costume designer and in-game. Personally I would love to see 'Envenom' from the poison set have the option to not be a projectile vomit animation. While it'd be really cool for a zombie-esque toon, my ninja/poison alchemist toon looks silly spitting at foes. Maybe just give an option for it to look like 'Weaken' from the same set? (And then maybe an option for Weaken to look like Envenom for people that want to go all out on the zombie theme!). Another suggestion is have a Peacebringer's Combat Flight have an option to look like 'Hover'. It's cool to have a default fly animation for it at higher levels when you can zip around with it, but the alternate animation would look really cool at low levels and for people that want their Peacebringer to have that -power pose- before beating u-... I mean arresting... enemies. If there's a similar thread to this let me know! Otherwise what alternate power animations would you like to see? 🙂

You have to try his Architect mission he just did. It was so intense. Edit: I think the AE employees should get security in... he's walking around in circles taking about the intense Architect mission he did over and over... Edit 2: I hid in Studio B... He followed me in and is now pushing his mission onto Arachnos soldiers. Edit 3: ^ Taken as security were escorting him out. They probably saved his life, Double Tap, Comrade and Hollow Point look ready to start shooting...

I'm glad you enjoyed the morality mechanics, it was fun to try pull it off in AE. Thanks so much for hosting the competition, and congrats to all the other contestants! 🙂

You're telling me! I had some debugging issues but @Darmian was kind enough to help run the mission with me so I could sort out issues before publishing... otherwise I probably wouldn't have made the deadline 😜

I have a submission: I hope you enjoy!

I started playing the game with my parents when I just started elementary/primary school (When I couldn't play without their supervision 😅) and rejoined Homecoming half way through my undergrad! I'm really glad to be back, loads of memories wrapped up in this game of me and my parents making alts when it rained outside.

Considering that Paragon City in Praetoria is called Shroud City, and was nuked in the Hamidon Wars, you could definitely make a 'Night Wardesque' zone featuring the destroyed Atlas Park map from the Lord Recluse SF! Link it to some story surrounding Tyrant (maybe a conflict between the Ouroboros group and Dr. Dream to change the course of the Praetorian war due to a secret hidden in the city), add loads of Apparitions, lots of irradiated Devouring Earth, and then maybe even reuse some of the Vanguard tanks and assets to make it look like a huge battle took place there in the days before the city's destruction - then I think you'd have an amazing zone. You could even use the train station as a center piece to the area's conflict/portal area/place that needs to be defended because of it being a unique dimensional hot spot. (Mentioned in a badge in Recluse's Victory).

Thank you so much for this, it'll be a great help! 🙂

Something I would love to see is temporary costume powers being made available to the masses. On live my main toon was a cast out Carnival Mistress, and now on Homecoming its not even in the event Halloween costumes available. Having it as an option to buy costumes in the P2W would be my dream come true of reliving my old Live toons in Homecoming City of Heroes. On the topic of sidekicks suggested by @CrudeVileTerror that would be amazing! MM style pet that can go around fighting with you, but disabled in team play. Adds a lot of flavour ideas for characters and solo players!
