This mental image. It is gloriously eloquent and I will never, ever tire of it. Poetry.

AH. At a loss. Instant, easy, there. I can't stand the vendor. All he does is talk about his stupid kids in college while I have places to be.

Working text editor and extended color palette wins the day for me. This game has lots of colors but when applied to many costume pieces, most look dull or faded. I would also love to see more items on which you can apply a color pattern. A LOT of gloves, legs, boots have "No selection available" under their titles. While we're at it: more items with pieces and parts that really POP when you color them. I don't remember by heart but for example, there is one costume set that has boots, shoulders and gloves that have an option to display a part that looks made of neon-light when used with bright colors, helps with sci-fi themed characters. I'll take a screenshot when I get home tonight.

I really like that idea! With her darker skin tone it works too!!

Yes, I started the mission mid-49 and locked my exp when I was about done. I just felt it was appropriate 🙂

I like the way you think. And the way you say it. Especially the way you say it. And thank you!

I liked the badge thingy. It was fun and it created all sorts of fun exchange between members on the forum. Would have been fun to keep that system around. On an old forum I visited, devs made badges for forum games. Imagine that: the week before a major update, the devs would hide 20-ish Easter eggs in the forum and you'd get badges if you find them. The buzz and activity it created was insane.

I joined Homecoming in August 2020 so, a solid 16 months ago. I have quite a few characters and I have almost never deleted any of them (though I have permanently shelved a good 10 of them over the months) and time and again, I have come here for build, ideas etc. People probably know me as a person who loves to try a lot of ideas, and none of these ideas stuck to level 50. Until tonight. My Rad/Claw tank just dinged 50. This character appeared out of nowhere and just became the center of my CoH universe, I can't get enough of her. She was the character behind this happy topic. She was grouped from just out of DFB to somewhere around 32 where I just soloed her through several arcs which she destroyed, she's just THAT good. So there you go. I don't know if this topic goes here or if that warrants a topic at all (might be a bit presumptuous or self-centered of me) but hey, I want to share: My first true 50! Honestly leveled, played with heart, built with care and completely enjoyed. (I have a farmer on my wife's account but this was a product of AE and I don't use it at all). I bring to you: Fabel - Natural Tanker - Radiation Armor / Claws. Seven feet tall, gorgeous, exceptional athlete. Fabel had been born for the destiny Praetoria had in mind for her: honor guard, escort, personal companion to the emperor himself. Her pride rested in her own accomplishment, her efforts, her dedication to be and remain the best among the best. Anti-Matter had other plans for her. With his own popularity free-falling, the mad scientist wanted to do more than promote this unique woman to the rank of the elite, he wanted to make her a mortal goddess, fit for his Emperor, a cunning plan to find his favor again. So Fabel was first summoned, then detained. By Anti-Matter's will, inhumanely irradiated. Her power grew a hundredfold, she became equal to the superpowered beings of the Emperor's entourage. Yet, he rejected her. She was no longer pure, no longer perfect. Fabel fled to Paragon City. Her future is her own now. So will be her revenge. Thanks, Homecoming for giving me a second chance at CoH! 🧡

Thank you. I agree that she is the best looking of the three. Jem is pretty too but I'm not sure I dig her pale skin color. Prysma, the more I look at her, the less I like the face I chose. I will most like pick another one.

Well, there we go, tankers rolled, happiness achieved. Big BIG THANK YOU to all who helped me create this promising trio!! I am painfully aware that I suck at costumes, I have little to zero originality but I like what I see so, there. Also: I can't stand the male 3D model, he looks like he runs with a broom up his pride. Prysma = Dark Armor/Dark Melee Magic Tanker Prsxrsk was on the run, his ship badly damaged from its last encounter with a Rikti cruiser. His memory banks carried vital informations to be carried to the Silver Siege of Fomalhaut but with his jump drive so badly damaged, he doubted he would ever get there, if he survived the jump. One last hit from a Rikti pulse cannon convinced Prsxrsk to tempt faith and so, he jumped. ... Penny was driving home after a really bad day at work, hoping to find some peace and comfort at home. She never saw what hit her car. A burst of light. An explosion. And then Penny died. So did Prsxrsk. Except they didn't. The impact was so brutally violent that, caught in the ship's quantum-jump field, both forms merged and created something new, not quite the sum. Their memory blurred, unable to remember either life clearly. Now there is only Prysma. Dead, but reborn. Climaxx = Bio Armor/Psionic Melee Mutation Tanker Claudia Maxwell was never fond of good advice. As a kid, she got into trouble on most days. As a teen, she found herself in King's Row at night, caught by a group of marauding Skulls and raped in a park until one of them bumped into a sleeping Clockwork, allowing her to escape. As an adult, she didn't do much better and let her curiosity lead her into Eden where she was taken by the Devouring Earth and raped once more, this time on a much more existential level. Claudia is changed. Every sensation she feels is felt increased by a hundredfold, she finds herself in a perpetual state of agony and climax. Claudia is now clinically insane. Claudia is pissed at the world. She can take on everything. And she's ready to give back. Jem Darkstar = Shield Defense / Stone Melee Science Tanker Janie Laroche, a brillant young French engineer made a fantastic discovery involving the manipulation of kinetic fields around mineral formations, coming up with ways to increase its density, manipulate it on a telekinetic level. Her last published paper brought attention to her as she was hired by Paragon Civil Engineering's superpowered department so she could research a direct application that would allow construction workers to operate on a near superpowered level. Smelling big money, Crey got in the way and stole part of her work, and most of her credibility. Refusing to admit defeat, Janie decided that her work would be used on a superpowered level after all and became Jem Darkstar.

... ... ... Dammit. How didn't I think of that, Seriously, I need more sleep in my life. Or coffee. Or both.

Mkay. My SD/Stone and my Bio/Psi are rolled, costumed and concepted. Now i need a concept for my Dark Dark and i will post this here. How the heck do you take a good screenshot in this game? The camera moves around the character but never on a vertical axis so the picture angle is always wonky.

I just checked. With the exception of hurl boulder, it's 0.67 KB across the board. Nice. Edit: Wait, @Erratic1 did the checking before I did. I need to lern2read.

Just one thing: looking at the numbers, all I see is KB, KB, KB. Isn't that ridiculously counter productive as a tank? Hard to AoE what you keep golf-clubbing away from you.

Pretty much. In that case, I didn't see eye to eye with the group leader. I tried to argue my case politely. Not like I didn't have time for that: because he wanted to be first in every map but took some time to try to recruit between missions, we had a solid 12-15 minutes to waste beating grey mobs between maps. But yeah. Communication might be the key, when opinions can't be moved, well, someone has to leave.

I agree with this, but 99% of the time, to my experience at least, CoH is an extremely streamlined and even experience, I rarely need a "oshit" button. I either clear content consistently, or I can't. My uneducated opinion is that T9's such as Elude and such should be turned into interesting, useful tools instead of being a dump-power.

I... really like that idea. I mean REALLY. I need to do that tonight.

Two days ago i learned that stars can be used/interpretated quite differently. I joined a hollows group on my Stalker, was something like 12-14. With me along, the group amounted to 4 but the 4th left soon after, this should have raised a flag for me but hey, I'm an optimist. The group leader insisted we played the missions at x8+4. My character is level 12, she doesn't have SOs yet. This is no longer the live game, low levels go by so fast, I hardly ever slot before level 17. Sure, the XP was insane, when we managed to defeat a spawn. The leader also told me he had his own rules, notably that the leader should always be the first in the mission so it doesn't fudge the spawn levels (afaik: It won't) and of course: courtesy. He was very polite, very curteous, but adamantly firm, as in "If you go in before me, I will remove you from the team". After 1-2 missions of WHIFF WHIFF WHIFF and wipe after wipe, I respectfully gave them my farewell and left. To each their own,

Yes. This. It's the elephant in the room. Every other day, I see topics of people saying that support/control types become obsolete because blasters atomize everything in a room every 90 seconds or so. Personally, I don't mind, I don't care. Things need to be atomized anyways, might as well be efficient about it.

I'm looking into options. I have a level 49 EM/EA Scrapper and while I loved the ride, I'm still hard press to 50 her because I find Energy Melee becomes achore when there's too many targets around, and I even commited the worst sin in the EM book: I took power crash so I could have that one cone (and I never looked back, great power). I think I could manage an end-hungry character, It's just another kind of challenge.

I rolled a Bio/Psi and did not go for the cheesy name opportunity. I will also roll a Dark/Dark, I wanted to combo dark armor with something else to capitalise on the effects but I don't know what, And Dark/Dark seems to play so well together. I will roll a Shield/Something for sure, just don't know what yet. And Titan Weapon wasn't really popular in the choices so I think I might keep it for Scrapper or Brute.

Not gonna lie, I want to try a /Psi tank now. I wanted to try Bio with TW but I might just reconsider. I'll also note that even though it's a set filled with cones, TW has really not been popular in the suggestions here. Or maybe Shield/Psi... hmmm...

❤️

But this is not in game! I feel betrayed by the fabric of deception and lies you are pulling over my eyes. The disappointment is so intense, you could make a full IO set with it.

Sooo... the fun part. Gotcha! 🤘 👍
