  1. What do you think this is, some kind of west-side story? =P
  2. As part of our "New Player Experience" initiative, we wanted Hero players to pop an Exploration badge just after leaving the tutorial, which happens on redside and goldside. And "Rookie" seemed like a fine thematic choice to bring into mainline Atlas. As for Silent Sentinel, it was returned to its original location in the Echo version of AP, correcting the long-standing misplacement.
  3. Very well, locking per request 😃
  4. Okay, SO! This looks amazing, and I bet plenty of people would be excited to participate! HOWEVER. Homecoming does not abide the sharing of personal identifying data. So, in light of that, whoever winds up winning will need to find a way to get their contact info to the OP OUTSIDE of Homecoming's platforms (forum, game, discord, etc). We CANNOT endorse giving out your real name and rough geographic location to a stranger on the internet (Yes, we know Uber and Doordash exist, shush). Any manner in which you do so is at your own risk, and we cannot be held liable for anything that happens as a result, thus, we ask you not use our services as a medium for doing so. So while I'm not shutting this down wholesale @leeper48 , I'll need to insist that perhaps you take this off-site; a private discord channel, maybe? At the very least, we don't want people using forum DMs/in-game tells to share their personal info with others.
  5. Sorry to say, but, I'm obligated to point out that we do not allow minors under 13 to play on our services. I would ask that you amend the situation.
  6. When page 7 hits, the RWZ will also have multiple "test" pylons what will tell you how long it takes you to beat them. You can then look at their max HP and derive your DPS there. Possible downside is they don't attack, so you won't get "real world" data as you can turn off your defenses and such.
  7. About 10. 23, per #6 below 😃 Just a heads up, going from Beta to Live is probably going to muck up your sound. I went on Beta, noticed everything was quiet, turned it up. Went to check something on Live, got my eardrums blasted out =( So, at the very least, headphone users beware!
  8. Locked per request. Any questions or comments about the directory can be DMed to Easter Bunny and/or Dacy.
  9. We GMs rely on community reports to help police the CoC in these instances. We do NOT allow IP-infringing characters on our servers, so we need everyone's help to help us identify potential offenders. As was said earlier, we can't be everywhere at once 😃
  10. As for Aeon, it's a bit of a misnomer. There's a SINGLE Immature Paragon protector in The Crey lab mission, sitting in a side room with the "Unstable" Paragon Protector. If you're used to just rushing through or stealth + TPing to the end, you'll never see them, nor any of the other wonderful easter eggs in that mission.
  11. Moved to suggestions and feedback. Also, just gonna put this out here now: I forsee this being a fiercely debated topic, so I want to remind everyone to keep it cool =)
  12. Hey all Don't panic if a post of yours went missing, or if you find someone quoting a post that isn't there. We've been asked to move posts that look like Bug reports to the, er, Bug Report section, so the Devs don't lose track of them. I'm halfway done going through the FF threads, so there'll be a second round of this tomorrow. Keep the feedback coming!
  13. Hey there! So, it COULD be latency/lag. You can see a visualization of your connection by using the command /netgraph 1; if you're seeing a lot of yellow and/or red spikes or blocks, that means your connection is being throttled or losing entire packets, respectively. But if it's all green, and especially if it looks more like a mowed lawn than a grassy field, then your connection is fine, and there's another cause at play. Fixing a connection issue can be a whole 'nother can or worms, which you can ask about if that seems to be the case. You can turn this off by using the command /netgraph 0. As for UI/resolution, eh, maybe? When trying to click on a line of dialogue, the entire line, even the blank spaces between letters or words, is part of the active field. But this "active field" only extends for a few pixels away from the sentence in all directions, so if you're just a little bit off, it may not register. Finally, in the past, we've found quite a few cases of this to be a hardware issue- the mouse, specifically. It may need to be cleaned or replaced, even if it seems to work fine everywhere else. I'm not sure exactly why, but whenever we tell people to replace their mouse, that usually ends up working for them.
  14. This is more of a "Which AT should I play" question, so, moved thread to the Archetypes forum 😃
  15. Check your Messages for additional info on this issue.
  16. Are you sure you're logging into the correct account? I took the liberty of checking into this, and noticed you have more than one. Try logging into an alt account and see if that's where your character is.
  17. It's a somewhat self-correcting issue. At 1,500 players, the queue starts up. If people don't want to wait, they'll head to other shards. Hopefully.
  18. When it comes to base building, HC has made it MUCH easier than on Retail. Nothing costs prestige, and you can build "outside the box" (vertically, anyway). I bring this up as it would be quite doable for many of your alts to share a single base and still have their own space within it. The downside to this approach is that you're still limited to about 18 storage units per base. So if you have 20 alts, they're going to have to share, instead of each having their own inspiration, salvage and enhancement storage.
  19. I seem to recall that the code for this was either removed, or locked down, early on. In either case, OP, while we GMs don't normally make a habit of trying to shut down people's ideas, I feel as though I should take this opportunity to assure you (and everyone else) that this sort of thing is not needed. Our financial needs are met by monthly donations, and our donation target each month is often reached within a day, if not just a few hours. Still, we appreciate the thought behind it!
  20. What this boils down to is that you're not allowed to name your Supergroup "Arachnos". You MAY name your SG "West Coast Arachnos" "Arachnos Special Forces" "Mercy Island 3rd battalion Arachnos", etc. Just so long as you're not attempting to claim ownership of the canon group.
  21. Hmm... yeah, that's integrated graphics. CoH doesn't play nice with that sort of thing. Even though CoH isn't a very demanding game by modern standards, its engine was built with "desktops having a discreet graphics card" in mind. You might want to try freeing up RAM and CPU usage by closing out other programs, and running CoH on a fresh reboot. You can also use Windows Update to make sure you have the latest video drivers available, that might help a little. Lowering the in-game resolution might help, as well (though that'll make things look blurry). If you want, also try this: in your windows search bar, type "dxdiag". Run the program. Then, have it save a log report. Send this text file to me directly via forum DM, and I'll take a look at it to see if maybe there's some other issue. Don't post the file in this thread; it may contain personal identifying information.
  22. It would be good to know what graphics card you have, and how much memory your system has installed.
  23. Hi there Try reducing your graphic settings one at a time. It might be one of the advanced shadow or reflection settings that, for whatever reason, is giving your PC a hard time. Or, other way around: reduce everything to minimum, and crank up slowly from there. Also, post your specs, maybe something will stand out as being a problem.
