    Ahh, so you're one of the people who abandon the ambushes, leaving them for someone else to clean up and delaying the respawn of the capsules.

    I don't do that myself, but since they operate like the presents in the holiday event, they despawn automatically when it is time to respawn.  I noticed plenty times dueing the Winter Event, I will start to approach an abandoned spawn, and they vanished and got replaced by a present before I could get to them.

    Why not?  I have a few dozen 50's, so why not have multiple copies of my favorite?  I have Ironblade on every shard and every one of them is level 50.  Two of them are fully tier 4 incarnate.

    I'm starting to do more server transfers back and forth myself.  My intradimensional travelers, (as I just right now have started calling them) always get a name holder on the servers where they transfer from, and I will occasionally hold names on other servers, just in case; especially names that do really get established among the population.

    Eh, I still have ISOs for DOS 6.22, Win 3.11, MacOS 10x - Current, etc...so there's that 😛

     

    I think I still have a home built DOS 7.something or other bootable CD stowed away somewhere.  It was put together from the underlying DOS that Windows 98SE rides on.  I hope to eventually put together a "high end" WfW 3.11 box with it one of these days.  Also still finding myself having a strange fascination with CP/M and CP/M-86.

  4. Here's Pyrefox with his pets.  And his origin is that the airman he sent to supply for a can of turn signal fluid, actually brought back a can of radioactive turn signal fluid.

     

    That was his airman's origin as well, a rather cute bug gal registered as Deja Thorax.

    Huh? Famous live player? No player was famous in the strict definition of the word. Perhaps well-known in their social group on the server they played on, but nobody was famous, sorry. 

    One might make the case that Beefcake got fairly famous for presumable paying someone to pigg dive and build vidiotmaps. (That's a sketchy synopsis/summary of things I've heard - no representation of accuracy there) 

    I seem to remember a Rick Astley on live who was fairly famous...

    I do believe it is possible that there are names on Homecoming that are "protected", and not by players. For example, there are names that you cannot give to henchmen/pets.

     

    There was one name I tried to get on day one of a character that I had on Live that I was rather surprised was not available, that included the word "Homecoming" in the name. It wasn't the most original name I admit, but all the variants I tried were unavailable. Since the project has the Homecoming name, I can easily believe that those names were reserved. It is of course possible I was slow, but on the server I play on I got all the other names of my favorite mains, even those I know I didn't have on all of the various "Live" servers.

    I'm still unsure why we can't name any of our pets simply Crow.  Had to add idiotic titles to all my Ninja MM pets, since they all had Corvid and other bird names, and Crow was supposed to be the first one.

     

    Come on.  It's just goddamn Crow, like any other goddamn bird.  Why protect it?

    Is there a list of all the 20th event badges, rewards, etc.? I have the 20th Anniversary badge, and the Anniversary(?) badge for opening 25 time capsules. I have three temporary powers (retrovision and the hero and villain toy bats), and four costume powers.

     

    What else is there?

     

    Also, the magic search bind for Time Capsules, at up to 1000 feet, at least, is:

     

    /bind ADD target_custom_next time

     

    Heh.  Not needing a bind to find capsules, since judging by a test in King's Row, the spawn points are the exact same as the spawn points for presents in the Winter Events, with the same respawn time

    This whole thing is just telling me that Homecoming really needs to work on advertising the Homecoming launcher to people, probably with an in-game pop up message.  I'm honestly shocked by how many people aren't using it.

    I'd never heard of it until this morning.  And I rarely ever visit these forums.  I don't think I even have this place bookmarked.

    We advertise it, have it on the getting started page and talk about it all the time with a link to download it https://manifest.cohhc.gg/launcher/hcinstall.exe whenever anyone asks about Tequila. I think some people just like to stick to the familiar. I know a few people who won't change something because it works and they don't want to learn a new thing. My friend refuses to give up Windows 98 🙂 

    All I remember of that manifest thing on the Tequila launcher (I have since switched) was that is was just a single thing that can be selected in a drop down list, but I can't recall ever being able to do anything with it...do Download button or anything.

    I honestly rarely even remember this site exists, and usually come here to try to check the patch notes at times, then give up after scrolling and scrolling and scrolling through ancient patch notes and ultimately giving up.

    Tequila hasn't been the official launcher for a couple of years now.  You will want to switch to the Homecoming launcher.

    Huh.  Wonder why they felt the need to change it.  It wasn't like it was broken or anything...

    The patch manifest that unofficial launchers use lags behind our official launcher by a bit, you'll have to either switch to the official launcher or give it a bit of time to update.

    I thought Tequila WAS the official launcher.  That is what I am using, and still getting that error.

  13. Okay, so I have this gal that has been sitting at 20 for a couple months now, brand spanking new out of Praetoria, and would really like to have her experience the First Ward and Night Ward arcs from the beginning, but with a team that is also experiencing from the beginning. (Really don't want to attempt to lead it though, since I can not lead and be useful at the same time).

     

    Only tried First Ward briefly a couple times back in the Time Before(tm), and remember nothing of it because everyone would just speed run through it, leaving no time to actually read and experience the arcs, and if you tried, the next mission would likely be nearly over and done with by the time you even get inside).

     

    So, that said, what is the best way to arrange something like this?  Been trying in the LFG channel, but no takers.
