GM Impervium

The power claims that it takes Arachnos ATOs. However, it doesn't actually do so. Given that the Arachnos ATOs are basically a damage enhancement set, it makes sense that they wouldn't go into a control power that doesn't deal damage.

So, this is a good question, and it's one that we need to have an internal discussion about. That said, take this post with a grain of salt, and err on the side of caution. But for now... It depends on the song, and how you want to use it. I'm going to say, for now, try to avoid using any music already popularly associated with existing characters. This is because the temptation would be too great to feature those characters (or something close), and you'd probably end up breaking our CoC, and we'd have to bring down the banhammer. Here's a few examples: Any theme from any Superhero movie or TV show. If you want to use the Avengers theme (movies) or Justice League tv theme, that's okaaayyy, UNLESS you plan on showcasing characters that look like the Avengers or Justice League (respectively or not, doesn't really matter!) This goes double for theme songs with lyrics, such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, Sailor Moon, etc. Anything with lyrics that mentions/is about the principle characters is going to be very hard to divorce from the source material. There's actually a very nicely done video from the Live days that uses the Power Rangers theme, and has guys that look a LOT like the Power Rangers fighting Putty-looking dudes (the disposable minions from that show, for those who don't know) made in AE. It's great! But we cannot allow such a video to be made here, and we'd have to ban your account. Existing songs that were used as the opening theme of a TV show, like "Save Me" from Smallville or "Carry on My Wayward Son" from Supernatural. These songs are not about those characters, but the songs are tied to them because of how they were used. You can use songs like these, but don't have characters that look like the ones from those shows. Songs that mention existing characters. "Kryptonite" from Three Doors down (mentions Superman, duh), "99 Red Balloons" by Nena (mentions Captain Kirk), "One Week" by Barenaked Ladies (mentions Sailor Moon) should be fine, UNLESS you plan on splicing in a character who looks like the mentioned character in at that point. Then that's a NO. Some songs are tied to specific scenes or character moments. "Holding out for a Hero" was used in Shrek 2, but would still be fine to use, so long as you're not making characters that look like they're from Shrek (Shrek himself either in regular or human form, giant Gingerbread man, Puss in Boots, etc). There's actually a really good old-school CoH video that uses this song, BUT, it has some copyrighted characters in it (Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, pretty sure there's a Wolverine in there, too. Amusingly enough, it avoids showing any "Hercules" or "Superman" like characters when the song literally mentions them, so it gets a bonus point there), so we wouldn't allow it as-is. "All Star" by Smashmouth was used for the Mystery Men movie (and also Shrek), so avoid making characters who look like THOSE characters with these songs. TL;DR: While you may use whatever songs you'd like, avoid any that are linked in any way to any existing characters, especially if your brilliant idea for those songs is to have those characters (or something close) in your video. We will take action against any account blatantly displaying their copyright-infringing (or other CoC rule-breaking) characters in such videos.

You have me confused with Enchanted Impervium, but either way, you're very welcome 😃 Keep the vids coming, folks!

Spent an hour figuring this one out tonight. When you go to test your AE mission, it doesn't always grant you the badges for testing an arc. You have to make a change to the arc, and then select "Save and Test" from within the editor. If you just click "Test" from your main browser, you're still in Test Mode, but the game won't grant the badges. At least, that was my experience with tonight. Affected Badges (may not be a complete list, but I was unable to confirm or write-off the others): Virtual Extractor Virtual Destruction Virtually Impulsive If anyone has any corroborating (Or contradicting!) info, please post here. Otherwise devs, just another item for the ol' Bug Tracker!

Are you sure you didn't take "Infiltration"? Invisibility is gone now, rolled into "Stealth". Infiltration is a travel power that provides SOME stealth, but not as much as the power "Stealth".

Hiya! You won't lose your characters, they're stored on our server, safe and sound! If you get a Microsoft/WIndows message when trying to start up, that means the game crashed and can't start back up. I would restart your PC, and then re-verify your manifest through your launcher. If you're using HC Launcher, click the "..." under the "play" button and click "Verify". If you're using Tequila, click "Options" then the "Revalidate" button. Let us know if you complete these steps and are still having issues!

Give them the Rikti Monkey gas attack, and it'd be accurate!

When this Proc is slotted in Trip Mine, as per the title, it only lasts for 1 second (if that) upon detonation when it procs. I used the power over and over again in testing conditions (AE mission; Invincible on; No other powers or abilities active or used; Trip mine ONLY slotted with the Proc; Just kept laying a trip mine at an AV's feet while he attacked me fruitlessly), and with combat monitor running to observe when the proc would activate and for how long. Any additional info from the community would be helpful.

Can you post how you solved your issue so that other users who may have similar issues in the future know what to do?

...Whut.

Nope; Once you have LRTP unlocked by getting a single zone's accolade, you only need one exploration badge from subsequent zones to have them added to your list 😃

Hello all; We've seen a couple of support requests relating to issues with certain binds or macros no longer working since the latest update. If you have one such bind or macro that no longer works, please reply with the bind and what it's supposed to do. That way the devs can see what the problem is and work on a fix Thank you!

Edit: This is now resolved. Thank you for your patience! IMPORTANT NOTE! Please do NOT use LRTP to access Echo Plaza at this time! The entry point is currently bugged. Use Pocket D or TUNNEL instead! We'll fix this soon, though!

He just wants to be painted like one of your French girls. His TF involves gathering paint, brushes, and a canvas. Oh, and sinking a giant luxury liner. ...You ARE a villain, after all!

Got a ticket in about users in Mothership raids who, despite being flagged by Null the Gull to ignore movement buffs, are still zipping around super fast, as if something was affecting their speed. A single cast of Speed Boost doesn't affect a character, but perhaps multiple are overriding whatever flag Null sets on a character. Or there's another power with a +speed effect that the flag isn't set to affect?

Good news, everyone! The Devs have found the culprit code and have worked out a fix! Go Team! Though I guess this thread isn't needed anymore, so...

Have had a few complaints about this since page 2 came out. Apparently, prior to the patch, players were able to have both Power Slide and Ninja Run active at the same time. They would slide as normal, and when they jumped, they would flip in the air. Kind of like how we now allow Super Speed + Ninja Run to operate. This no longer happens. PPS now completely overrides the NR jumping animation, even if it's only on for 1/3rd of a second at any point in the jump. The Jump with arms out + flip is replaced with a standard jump. If anyone has any extra info, that would be appreciated!

Hi, i think I responded to your ticket, but just so it's said here: Make sure you're changing the correct password. Your Forum account and Game account are linked, but have separate passwords. You'll want this page here: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/gameaccount/ If that's the one you've been using, let me know (either here, in PM, or respond to your ticket) and I'll escalate to a Lead to see what the problem might be!

I don't see this turning into anything constructive at ALL =(

For those dissatisfied with the normalization of the Crit chances: are there additional ways to normalize the sets in question (KM specifically, apparently) to help make it competitive without relying on a single power working much better than it probably should?

This is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen, and I look in the mirror regularly!

You're also probably better off asking this type of question over in the Brute sub-forum; or, even better, search for one of the many existing build threads there.

Listen to Number 6, everyone; He's MUCH smarter than I am, AND his Avatar looks nicer!

We're currently tracking this issue. It seems to be related to what you're targeting (specifically something you can't hit, like a civilian or an out-of-range teammate) but we're not 100% sure. Any information that anyone can provide would be greatly beneficial in tracking down and squashing this bug!
