Ironblade

Right. Once. Everyone gets one change. The OP wants to change his global AGAIN. That's where we run into problems.

Hello, Bob. 🙂 I'm mostly on Everlasting. My global is @Ironblade

Pretty much what has already been stated. The Homecoming position is as follows, cut and pasted from this GM FAQ - https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/6899-homecoming-gmfaq-gm-fiddleback-answers-questions/ It's a pretty long FAQ but it has a lot of good information. I would suggest everyone read it. What’s a Global Handle? Why Do I Have One? And How Can I Change It? All right, slow down…. A Global Handle is assigned to you when you log into the game for the first time with a character. By Default, it is the same as the name of your first character. It lets people find you and send you mail and do various other things regardless of what character you might be on at any given time. Basically, it’s like a master ID within the game. All your characters on the account are associated with that Global Handle. You get one free Global Rename, because some people will log in Doctor Snorkledanker as their first character and then realize that that isn’t so handy to type in. Or maybe it doesn’t reflect the way they’d like to be perceived. Or maybe they spelled it wrong. Or possibly it’s very rude. It sounds rude, doesn’t it? Anyway, you get one free rename. That’s it. No more. Nada. Zip. One and done. Except if you file a ticket and ask politely someone will probably let you off the hook and grant you another one. But try to keep this to a minimum. If you find yourself asking for a rename every week or better, maybe don’t. Pick one and stick with it.

How many reactions did the software allow before it got in your face?

Resurrecting this thread with an update for the new forums. 1. The displayed images are significantly larger on the new software. 2. You can upload larger images now. Previously, they had to be 65x65 pixels or less. I just uploaded a 130x130 image and it looks much sharper. The forum software says your image can be up to .49 MB. I didn't see the need to test that as my image is only 18 KB.

The question would be whether you did any other chapters, including from the other arc, during that time. ALL of the chapters from BOTH signature story arcs share the same timer. Once you get your 'freebie' from each chapter, the timer applies. The relevant line from ParagonWiki is as follows: " Each separate reward can be chosen once every 162 hours (6 days, 18 hours), regardless of which episode is being played – all episodes use the same reward timer per reward choice, meaning four reward timers. " The page is located at https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Signature_Story_Arc

I've seen people in chat assembling teams to fight him so he does spawn.

I have actually done this, but not intentionally. I had started a character and then moved to a different server and just remade the character. I happened to log into the old character (on a server I rarely visit) and someone had left me an email a couple weeks previous. So, in some cases, this can just happen without anyone deliberately ignoring anyone.

Okay, did you actually READ the information at the link you posted? It directly contradicts what you wrote and agrees with what Razor said. You get to run each story arc ONCE EVER per character where the timer does not count. So a new character can run the arc and then run it again and the timer DOES NOT APPLY. In fact, since you get one free run of each arc, you can run all of them consecutively on one character and get the 20 merits each time. I have done this and this is how it worked for me. And when I say I have done this, I didn't actually run ALL of them. I did 4 arcs back to back and got the 20 merits every time since I had never done any arcs on that character. Having said that, I see two possible issues: 1) Maybe the reward system was changed recently although I don't recall any mention. 2) I don't know if I ran the arc twice in one day. There is ANOTHER timer that applies to task forces and trials where you get diminishing rewards after the first run on the same day. That might be applying here.

I had a character with a somewhat similar theme. He was a time traveler and his clothes would change to random outfits from all different eras. He had a caveman outfit, steampunk outfit, cyborg with the brain in a jar, dynasty outfit, wild west outfit, etc. That was my only character that used all 10 costume slots.

Lore pets for face-tanking? Not really. My advice is to get one of the buffers that casts Fortitude. That's huge on any character. My scrapper does a lot of damage so I hold aggro off the pets. If you're worried about them dying too fast, you can get a pet that can't be damaged but has no attacks - all it does is buff.

Because they are losers. Let me tell you a story..... Back on the live servers, I ran task forces every Saturday afternoon with open sign-up on the forums. One day, I had someone send me a tell if it was okay if they brought their main character, which was a kheld. I said, "Everyone is welcome. I arrange the teams to make sure they're all good and anyone can bring any AT as long as they're high enough level for that TF." Long story, short: we started dating like 7 years ago and now we live together. Imagine if I had replied, "No, I don't want no stinking kheldians on my teams!" :)

Don't let a handful of cranky people influence your decisions of what to do in the game. Try everything again. Back in the day, I did MSR's occasionally - once a week or so. And I've been doing them with about the same frequency now. They're just as fun as they used to be. On a side note, the conversion from Vanguard Merits to Reward Merits is irrelevant to me. I stockpile VMerits to buy the Vanguard Heavy temp pet.

That is correct. I actually managed to track down Issue 25 patch notes.

I have a Logitech M705. It's a cordless, laser mouse. I use it on a 3M Precision Mousing Surface - like a mousepad, but super thin and it adheres to the desktop. I don't play any 'twitch' games so I don't need to worry about the lag of a cordless mouse. I like wireless since the mouse (obviously) gets moved around, just like my headset (which is also wireless).

Holy cow! I teamed with you a few days ago and didn't know it was you because I didn't recognize the Queen of Eels global. I'm in the habit of checking global names of everyone I team with. Not sure what server this was on as I've been leveling characters on Indomitable and Everlasting. I'm guessing you would have recognized the name Ironblade so I must have been on some other. On a side note 'My Wife's Character' says hello. (She's sitting across the room and I read her your post since I knew she would recognize the Michael C. Warshade name).

I remember you. :P ooo, I'm honored. :) So, I'm back too. I just hadn't noticed this forum thread. I've set up on Everlasting, rebuilt my SG (Enclave of Honor) base and got my brother's family to move their characters over to Everlasting. Also, Paragon City Search And Rescue has set up on Everlasting and I was in there for 6-1/2 years (and am again). It seems a lot of Infinites have set up on Indomitable. I've made an Ironblade on every server (except Reunion) so maybe I should level up the one on Indom.

I can answer the 2nd question: Nothing. None of the incarnate materials can be transferred between characters.

Oh, the irony. I have a character with Tactics, Focused Accuracy and the Kismet unique. He's a scrapper.

Right, hypothetical kids. Let's see, my nephew is currently 12 and he played CoH with his parents while the game was still live. How long ago did it shut down? :)

You could start at some particular time, like midnight UTC, and then move it forward 3 hours each month. That way, every region will get to have a turn at the donation window being most convenient for them.

ugh, like 3 hours. The hunt 50 again and again and again gets really tedious. I got no interest when trying to assemble a team, so I soloed it. To be fair, it was like 1:30 in the afternoon on a weekday, so not many people around.

I think one -KB IO is plenty - UNLESS you're tanking with a set that has no KB protection. Because if you're tanking, most of the stuff is hitting you.

Definitely. I was on a (successful) master run with an invuln tanking. Regarding the OP, I don't think BAB is a tank. From the comics, he seems more like a scrapper (there were no brutes back then).

Not really, but they are front-loaded. i.e. You get most of them early on. Per the official patch notes for issue 25: Vet levels 3 - 24 : You get 20 emp merits over this span of levels. 27-48 : 15 emp merits spread across these levels 51-69 : 10 emp merits 72-99 : 5 emp merits
