Ironblade

On most characters, I don't bother getting all tier 4 because it just doesn't seem like enough of an upgrade from tier 3. In fact, I have only two characters that are all T4. I have a beam rifle/kinetics corruptor who is vet 16 and has been all tier 4 for at least 2-3 vet levels. He was created specifically for Really Hard Way badge runs of the Magisterium. And I have Ironblade who has ten tier 4 and four tier 3 powers. I think he has had all of those since about vet level 90 or 95.

Or, if you're a lunatic, you could have an Excel spreadsheet where you track every TF that you run, list every character and what level they are, how many reward merits they have, list the powers and tiers of every incarnate, etc, etc. 🙂

This. Put in your search terms and add site:homecomingservers.com and it will restrict the search to this web site.

I basically do this in reverse. CoH was the first MMO I played and I played for almost 7 years before going to another MMO. Now, I remap keys and invert the mouse in every other MMO I play. Not enough bars. I also open up AT LEAST a fourth and fifth bar for toggles, incarnate powers and temporary powers. To be fair, I run a lot of toggles. The majority of my characters take the Leadership pool - even tanks and scrapper.

Only the final one is tedious like that since you have to wait for them to spawn and the timer determines how long it takes. On the one with the pumpkin guys charging the portal, you can go out and hunt them. Once you get a feel for the timing, you kill a charging group and then go out and kill stationary ones, then come back for the next group headed to the portal - assuming you don't spot them as they start running and kill them right there.

Rest allows certain types of enhancements but does not allow any enhancement SETS. So you can slot a regular heal enhancement (SO, common IO, etc) but not any piece that is part of a set. Rest gives +1900% regeneration. The cap for scrappers and stalkers is +3000%. Does this matter in normal game play? I would say no. Does it matter when you're farming damage taken for badges? Absolutely.

Sure, but how many of those are something like 'Dark Lord Darkness'? (FYI, I actually had a character with that name.)

Unless I'm mistaken, he was suggesting it work like this and not saying that it currently does. (It does not currently work like this.)

If you find it enjoyable or interesting, it doesn't feel like work. This is similar to the (illegal) stock market tactic of 'painting the tape' - colluding with others (or an alt account) to give a false impression of the status of the market. Back on live, I engaged in every method of generating inf that I could think of or heard about from others - manipulating the AH, AFK farming PvP recipes, flipping, etc. It was a hobby. Not a lot of straight-up farming, because I found that boring. Nowadays, I don't play as much so I don't bother working for inf. As long as I have a few hundred million at any given time, what's the point? Back on live, generating inf was part of the game for me. Like badging.

Sure, NOW. I remember when the requirement was 100 times what it is now. I ran overnight gladiator heal farms for more than a year to help people get the badge. I ended up getting the Longbow Warden 2 on a second character and rotating him through other people's supergroups. I got the healing badges for about 40 different SG's. But I'm only a casual player. 🙂

Wait, what? A video game was released later than originally announced and there needs to be a 'story' behind the delay?

It depends on your needs. I have three, just like I did back on live. To be fair, though, the third account was FTP while the first two were subscription accounts even after the game went FTP.

What if the Well of the Furies had been contaminated and both Marcus Cole and Stefan Richter died after drinking from it?

And that's just the first step. I am currently leveling Toggle Man, whose job is to run as many toggles as possible (in actual combat - not just standing around). He's a spines/dark armor scrapper because that's what the original post from back on live required. A lot of the requirements are no longer accurate, but I am taking the powers indicated in that marvelous piece of prose. I am TRYING to have him be viable without the Alpha slot to help with endurance. He's got +51% recovery, extra END, 10% global end reduction, the Panacea, Numina and Miracle procs and Performance Shifter proc. He doesn't have Conserve Power yet.

I have never PUG'ed with Snarky. 😞 Probably because we're on different servers. 😛 (Although I do have a single 50 on your server.)

This is accurate for damage, accuracy, endurance reduction, etc. These are 'Schedule A Enhancements'. But 'Schedule B Enhancements', like defense, damage resistance, to hit buff, etc scale to a lower number. You hit the ED limits around 55%. Schedule C and D enhancements (interrupt reduction, knockback, etc) scale to a HIGHER number. You don't see much drop-off until after 100% or 150% (for C and D respectively).

Never going to happen. When the first person in a zone opens the AH, it loads the entire auction house database. Anyone else in the same zone accesses the same data. So you can never have more instances than the existing zones. If you could access the AH from a base, this would be super popular for crafting and there could be hundreds more separate instances loaded. Getting around this would require rewriting the entire AH system.

I would like the ability to close opened windows by hitting 'Escape'. Every modern game has this capability.

Isn't that the 'secret server'? And didn't it shut down shortly after its existence was revealed?

But, but . . . maybe Ironblade Too and Ironblade III are destitute! 🙂

There is one reason which is not applicable on this server. Money. Cash shops for cosmetic items are big money without being 'pay to win'.

Yep. Keybinds work the same way. Leave out the /

Worth mentioning to avoid confusing people - the auction house is cross-server.

Actually, I believe they used a strigil.

I do not have a badger but I had a character named Unarmed Wombat. Oh, not that kind of badger? My badging character is my main, who happens to be a broadsword/regen scrapper.
