Bring back the conversion for Empyreal & Astral Merits into Reward Merits. I have characters with hundreds of Empyreal Merits and nothing to do with them. They are fully incarnated and I previously used tthe conversion to help get some helpful enhancements and recipes, especially to help my lowbies. I'm not coming back until this is reinstated into the game. You have forced me off a game which I loved from my childhood. No, I don't have hundreds of hours to spare running extra TFs when I have characters with Empyreal Merits who should be able to use them for rewards.

Feel free to post what was said. I can't cos I got kicked from your server so I can't look at it again. Your sarcasm betrays you. If you really wished me well you wouldn't have kicked me for merely disagreeing with you. You're not fooling anyone.

You not only allowed others to abuse me in your discord, you kicked me from the discord when all I did was bring some issues to your attention. I said, ok, we'll see how things work out if I try to organise something again in the future, but you didn't even give me that chance. You kicked me - that is not helpful in any shape or form. Do not pretend that you are as polite or benign as you are trying to make yourself out to be here. You don't kick someone for their time difference or schedule not matching up. There was no warning or attempt to make things right - you just kept saying "I'm so helpful" on repeat. Well I guess we can see how helpful you really are.

Maybe. But TFJ run a lot of incarnate stuff which needs a lot of people to make it happen. Smaller groups might not work for me 😞

I've literally been bullied off the game. I'll probably have to uninstall when I'm back from holiday. It's not great feeling - logging on and knowing you can pretty much count yourself out of joining most events.

It is a shame that Taskforce Junkies was not the welcoming, helpful group they made themselves out to be. Their leader has 0 regard for other events running, and I've witnessed highly confrontational situations where they don't back down, and do what they want anyway regardless. (An example was a clashing MSR with a regular scheduled slot with an SG - I don't know all the details) They claim to be inclusive, yet make demands in their discord for only certain ATs and powers in their runs, implying that the ATs they don't want, such as controllers etc. are useless. Their leader will moan to get attention and approval from the discord channel, claiming that he doesn't understand people's complaints, that he helps so much and if anyone wants help they should ask for it. Well I did ask for help a while ago, and got outright ignored. I brought up issues above and instead of addressing them I was berated, insulted, and again, just received more boasting about how helpful and great they were. Then their leader kicked me from the discord. With TFJ running about half the events I see online, it will be hard for me to ever join incarnate runs or many other events again. It was a shame. I was enjoying the game but thanks to some toxic behaviour it doesn't look like I'll be able to take part in many community events here.

I tried searching the forums on this but I haven't found this being brought up, and am surprised why it hasn't yet. While I love the new addition of the Dr Aeon SF, we still have a gap of SF levels redside. Operative Renault is 25-30 and then it leaps to Ice Mistral who is 35-40. Yes I know we have Mortimer Kal but heroside has Sutter AND a lvl 30-35 TF. We need a 30-35 SF too! I have no idea what the story could be. Wretch doesn't have a SF yet but he doesn't sound like he'd be that smart to run one though 😛 Maybe just some new Widow or Fortunata as we have an Operative Renault?

I've had a look around on the forums about this, and had some thoughts: 1. Co-Op Zone: People are generally in favour of the Shadow Shard being a co-op zone. It makes sense as it's dimensional beings attacking our home dimension. This massively helps with the villain teaming and levelling as we still have a low population of villains across the servers. This gives villains access to the Shadow Shard Taskforces, and the rewards of Weekly Strike Targets of them without being forced to change alignment. What about the door missions for the Shadow Shard Taskforces? They can be changed to become board train missions, so no necessity to visit Paragon City during the Taskforces. There are two "Speak with Azuria" missions in Faathim the Kind's Taskforce, so maybe make a copy of her at Firebase Zulu or at the Cascades. 2. More Repeatable Missions: I agree with the previous posts. Even though there are repeatable missions we could do with more variety, and there are no repeatable mission contacts in the Chantry or Storm Palace. Capstone missions every 5 of them with a unique reward which you can't get anywhere else. Maybe a random Archetype Origin or Event enhancement? Capstone mission idea - Rularuu invasion of Portal Corps? Defeat waves of enemies which come through the the Firebase Zulu portal? You can also rescue scientists who are being terrorized by minions. On the last wave a random villain Aspect of Rularuu (eg. Ruludak or Lanaruu) breaks through. 3. More Story Arc Missions: There isn't a story contact in the Cascades, Chantry or the Storm Palace, and the missions in FBZ aren't exactly inspiring either. I can't come up with several new story arcs right now, but maybe some more interesting story contacts in these zones could relate or lead up to the Shadow Shard Taskforces or suggestions 4. and 5. Cascades could probably do a storyline involving Nemesis, as they're heavily involved in Sara Moore's TF Chantry could probably do a storyline involving the Circle as they want to capture him in the Justin Augustine TF 4. Events: How about adding an event to the Storm Palace? It seems like there is literally no reason to go there unless it's the Faathim the Kind Taskforce. It could offer badges and merits as rewards? Maybe Rularuu and Storm Elementals are attempting to weaken the magical locks on the Storm Palace so Lanaruu can be freed, roaming about the Storm Palace? A badge could be awarded for preventing his release, and a different badge could be awarded for taking him down and repairing the locks? 5. There are Aspects of Rularuu and areas still waiting to seen: Take a look at this article: https://archive.paragonwiki.com/wiki/Rularuu_the_Ravager Chularn the Slave Lord & the Factory, Kuularth the Scavenger & the Repository, Uuralur the Mirror & the Garden of Memories are still yet to make appearances. Rularuu himself exists! There are pictures of him but we never meet or fight him in-game! The unexplored Aspects and Rularuu here sound like potentials for new Incarnate Trials? Even more level 50+ content? The Dream Doctor and the Midnight Squad defeated him previously so it would make sense to use these guys in the story of the trial!

Hi guys, if there are regular trials or events like Mastermind Monday can we please add them to the calendar? https://forums.homecomingservers.com/calendar/11-excelsior-player-led-event/ Things are v busy for me rn and would be great to find scheduled events so I can plan ahead to do them. I'm particularly after Underground and Minds of Mayhem trials as could really use the rare incarnate drops.

I've tried reading through everything here and I have absolutely no idea how to use this. I can't find a guide anywhere instructing me how to use this. It is massively infuriating to me that everyone else knows how to use this GitHub except me. Please can someone walk me through this or publish some sort of guide on how to actually use this thing?

Hi all, Dr Quaterfield Taskforce is one of the Weekly Strike Targets, granting double merits - 244 - at the end! It's level 40-44, but it's also the longest Taskforce in the game. My record run is 2 hours 45 minutes. This is a Heroside TF and has no unlocking requirements. It begins in Firebase Zulu. I'm planning on running this 3 times this weekend! Intending to start at 14:00 PDT (or 22:00 BST) Friday 9th October Saturday 10th October Sunday 11th October I like to do this TF with a full team if possible, that's why I'm hoping there'll be some interest here to start off with because it can be hard to get people onboard for the whole TF. If you're up for any of these days, please write below stating your global handle so I'll know to expect you. I'll start mustering for additional players one hour beforehand. My characters this weekend will be Kendai, Lava-Spike or Eldath. My global handle is @Kendai NB. To try and do this as quickly as possible, please try to have the TEAM TRANSPORTER power, which can be purchased from any P2W Vendor. This will rapidly speed things up! We will ghost to objectives whenever possible as this TF has so many missions!

@Hopestar I do keep updating my OG post, depending on feedback and will consider your comment. However, you don't provide any reasoning for moving some sets down tiers, like Thermal or Storm - how are those sets lacking in an ingredient? I'm astonished you would consider skipping Temporal Selection, it gives +damage, recharge and +heal from your aoe heal. If not used on your pets use it on other teammates because they will much appreciate it!

Nice edit of my post, which I do keep updating depending on feedback. However, you don't provide any reasoning for moving some sets down tiers, like Thermal or Storm - how are those sets lacking in an ingredient? You have an interesting way of declaring what you deem to be reality 🙂

That's nice you like Electric Affinity, but you've not provided any reasoning why. I've found the pets on my Kinetic MM to die too easily. The Slashing & Energy Resist is weird - why is Lethal missing? The kb protection... ok fair point, and yes SB deffo helps the pets to keep up with a fast team, but I've not been that impressed by the -damage powers, and not noticed any extra pet survivability because of them... It's a good set in my eyes, definitely, but just works better on a team that can plug the gaps. I did say on a team it gets bumped up a Tier.

Everything's an opinion here, but yes, I forgot the insane amount of defence that Force Field Generator gives in Traps. Bumping it up a tier after looking at the numbers again. I honestly don't know Nature well enough, do you think it's better than Empathy & Pain Domination which are primarily healing sets? I don't get what you mean by "hard control", Entangling Aura is only a chance to hold, and even if it does it's only a mag 1 hold for 4 seconds. It's better taken on a Controller to stack with the primary sets there. Of course everything's subjective - "solid soft or hard control" and "solid toggle debuff" can mean different things to different people. For control I'd leave it to the controllers and dominators with better holds, though Thunderclap and Seeker Drones are resepctable with their Mag 2 stuns. With debuffs I mainly look to -res and -def, as that will leave enemies more vulnerable to damage, the quicker they're dead, the less of a threat they are 😛 Spore Cloud is the same as Darkest Night, just with -regen added (and Dark has a -regen power in its mass resurrect power). Also I don't know if swearing is allowed on the forums... >_<
