No.... how does RHW stand for The Hard Way? RHW refers to the Really Hard Way badge. https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/The_Really_Hard_Way_Badge

Or maybe they should name it whatever they damn well please. Especially if the name is perfectly descriptive of the channel's purpose.

Yes and no. Yes, it is in Homecoming's best interest to let the talks drag out. No, let's not shut it down now just because you're having a snit.

No. Because, literally, we have nothing. If the negotiations fail, it is extremely likely that NCSoft will shut this server down - as well as the other well-known ones. Ignore the people who are going to say that NCSoft isn't going to spend millions playing C&D Letter whack-a-mole. They only need to whack about 5 moles and that's it. Can a thousand people run rogue servers out of their basement? Sure and no one cares. Their only concern would be a big server (like this one, which costs $4800 per month to operate).

There are multiple answers here. DFB is easy mode for new players. 1. It gets more difficult when you make it more difficult. To the right of the chat window where you type, there is a little speech bubble symbol to access the emotes menu. There is also an option there "Set Notoriety" (or something like that - that might be the villain phrasing). You can adjust your difficulty by setting the enemy levels from -1 to +4 (relative to your level) and you can set the team size up to 8 even if you are alone. 2. The old content is much easier (and often not as well written) compared to the newer content. For example there are two story arcs 'Who Will Die?' and 'Pandora's Box'. Some of those missions are really hard. An old task force would be Synapse or Citadel - not too hard, kind of grindy and boring. New task forces would be Lady Grey, Ms Liberty, etc which are much better. 3. Once you hit 50, you have access to Incarnate Trials which are harder than the regular content. To look up details on a lot of the things I've mentioned, I would suggest visiting (and bookmarking) the wiki. The original is at: https://archive.paragonwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page which describes the status of the game at the time it was shut down. Also, there is a new one that includes all of the above and is gradually (and slowly) being updated with the newer content. https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/Main_Page

Completely forgot today was the money day. At least we were able to put $50 in last month.

On the bright side, I am leveling a corrupter specifically for these runs with the same build I had back in the live game. Unfortunately, my corr won't be 50 and fully incarnate by July 11th. Soon™

Oh yeah! I recall seeing those. That is pretty neat. I didn't remember who did it, though.

As long as it takes, Ed Gruberman!

Just recently I was on a Synapse TF with one of my tanks. We get to the end of it and the team leader sends me a tell, "Thanks for joining. You were really the linchpin of this team." Yes, he actually used the word 'linchpin'. My goodness. 🙂

You can store them wherever you want. I recommend storing them where it's convenient for you to find and back up, rather than the default. I store them in c:\data\text\coh\binds.txt And one of the binds in the file is: F12 "bindloadfile c:\data\text\coh\binds.txt" So I just have to type the line to load the bind file ONCE on a character. After that, if I edit the bind file, I just hit the button to reload the file. And I have Alt-F12 set to load my standard chat settings file so I don't need to do that manually. And you can get pretty meta with this. I have one keybind that loads an entire file of binds with text for the mothership raid, and a set for the Abandoned Sewer Trial, etc. When I'm done running it, I have a bind that ERASES those binds so I can't hit them by accident later on. And here's the command to erase, for example, the F12 key: F12 nop (In computerese, that stands for either No Operation or Null Operation - I forget which.)

To be fair, in the absence of other specialized channels, this has become a 'group content' channel. It's used to announce mothership raids, giant monster groups, etc.

Wouldn't surprise me. Aside from running my own group of SG's I also ran task forces and trials on Saturday afternoons with open sign-up on the forums.

I strongly suggest instead using: https://archive.paragonwiki.com/wiki/The_Incomplete_and_Unofficial_Guide_to_/bind ParagonWiki is the site where the information originally came from and was compiled and maintained by fans. Fandom.com is a commercial site that simply takes content from other sites and has been infected with malware more than once.

Can't trust you because you're wrong and smug about it. That's always the worst - someone who is wrong and full of themselves. Absolutely guaranteed that each sale goes to the highest outstanding bit. Trust *ME* because I worked with a group who did extensive testing of the market. We even analyzed how the sales are filled if there are a bunch of identical bids when someone posts an item for sale.

That kind of temperature is no problem for a graphics card. I'd freak out if that was my CPU temperature.

Right. And note that the level shift for "all content" only applies when you're normally 50. If you're doing a task force that exemps you to 30, you're still 30, not 31.

There's another way, also. Go to one of the half-buried buildings on 'monkey island' and log out next to a door that's buried in the ground. When you log back in, you will come out of the door and be under the map. Then fly to the matrix room under the map and type /stuck. That will move you into the matrix room. That's how I used to do it. Then you can Recall your friends in.

That is exactly BACKWARDS. All sales on the auction house go to the current HIGHEST bidder.

I thought that time was off by an hour so I checked to be sure. Per the donation and finances FAQ post https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/14674-donations-finances-faq/ the donation window typically starts at 19:00 UTC. That is actually 3PM in the Eastern time zone, noon Pacific time. Of course, this will shift in November.

Fascinating. I do the exact opposite. On any character that is getting a stealth IO, I put it into one of the prestige sprints rather than regular sprint. And my reason is . . . Every character has a default keybind to control the sprint power so it doesn't take up space in my trays. I only have a handful of characters using a stealth IO so they have a prestige sprint in the tray since they're the exceptions.

Not a single one. I have MANY characters where I took 9 powers from the primary *OR* 9 from the secondary, but not a single one that took all nine from both.

Actually, it makes perfect sense. By adopting an upright position with bipedal locomotion, we freed up our forelimbs from being used in movement. This allowed them to specialize for fine manipulation and to engage in tool use while moving - hunting, for example.

Well, the damage cap is high enough that 8 Assault toggles won't reach it. I don't believe there is a hard cap on defense or to-hit - just anything beyond a certain point is wasted.

Yep. And I believe a tomato is technically a berry.
