GM Impervium

He did, actually! After we realized it wasn't an issue with the base (i was able to edit it), he played with his settings until he saw that he no longer had issues after turning Cel Shading off.

Okay I think we're done here.

So, I just hid that whole conversation about wokeness and incels and all that. Let's leave that stuff off the forums, and find ways to discuss fiction without demonizing people or ideologies. Thanks.

Well, this is what I'm trying to figure out. The Midnighter badge from Night Ward should do the trick just fine. But, if someone somehow got into Cim without it? Well, I don't know why some of the contacts would have a conditional flag if you can't even get into the zone without it, buuuuut I wouldn't be surprised, either. EDIT: So, I just tested this myself. Took my nearly badgeless GM toon into Cim, spoke to Valeria, did her first mission... and she offered to introduce me to a new contact. I had the option to decline this introduction and carry on. But yeah, doesn't seem tied to the Midnighter badge, then. Maybe the intro needs to be made mandatory so it can't be missed? Though doing the arc in Ouro would cause complications. OR, there's something else at play here.

For characters not getting intro'd to her: How many of these characters did the full Midnighter arc, vs Just grabbed the badge from Night ward, vs Cheesed their way into Cimmerora somehow?

^Title Not much to add. Had a user who crashed (or rather, they hung and had to quit to desktop) every time they went to edit a base (different characters, different bases). They turned off cel-shading, and the crashes stopped.

Hey there @v Calibre Do you know if your laptop uses a hard-disk drive, or a solid-state drive? If it's the former, try defragging your hard drive. Once that's done (or you don't want to do it, or you have an SSD which doesn't need to be defragged), in HC Launcher, click the three little dots (...) under the play button, and then select "Verify". You can also click Settings (The little gear icon in the upper right), select "Homecoming", and check "Reset graphics on next run", then start the game. Make sure you un-check this option if you end up changing anything, or else it'll get reverted next time you load it up. Also, generic advice, make sure you have the latest drivers for your video card and that you're working on a fresh restart. Let us know if you're still having issues!

I actually asked the devs if it would be possible to put construction workers and engineers and freedom corps guys around the Atlas AE building prior to the update, but, they said they didn't have time for that (I think it's something they'd already thought about doing before I brought it up, but it got vetoed) =( Also, if you hang out near Dr. Aeon in Cap Au Daible, you'll hear one of his assistants praising him for taking out fire insurance policies on the AE buildings! =O

At @Marine X's request, merged his Game Tips thread with the existing one Miss had pinned here. Hopefully it doesn't cause confusion! As for a tip from me? If you submit a petition in-game, specifically for an issue that needs immediate resolution (like a mission that won't end, missing glowie, stuck bad guy/escort, etc), please wait in the mission and be available for at least 5 minutes! Also, responses to your tickets go both to your account here on the forums (under Support), and sent to your e-mail that you signed up with. However, don't reply to that e-mail, we wont see it!

Hi We're aware of this now. Fix should be out in a day or so. In the meantime, spread the word not to do it until the fix is out; thanks!

Moved to Suggestions and Fedback

1 and 2 star shouldn't be too tough on a well-built tank with IOs, incarnate powers, and a level shift. But 3 and 4 star is when you're going to need team buffs to counteract all the incoming damage and debuffs, as well as defeat the enemy before they can defeat you. And like with the ASF hard modes, there are some things where having the best built tank in the world isn't going to save you if you're not proactively being careful and avoiding danger.

Had a ticket from a user who, upon logging in, was spawned in behind the counter in the Steel Canyon Science Store (naturally, they were stuck, as you're not even supposed to get in there) There's a clickable door there, and I think the game considered it a valid access point (I know sometimes if you log out near a door, when you log back in, you'll be exiting that doorway). Not sure why the game chose THAT door instead of the one in the lobby right next to it, though. Loc coords: [-4031.6 -175.6 -2178.2]

Hi If you submit a ticket, we can look into this further (Use "Support" at the top of the forum). But I'm going to echo other people's thoughts here: You've either got the wrong account, wrong shard, or the wrong server service. Also, it's not uncommon that people sometimes delete their toons before deciding they don't want to play any more, but wind up coming back anyway.

The map has several "racks of weapons" that are not a required objective (or at least, are not listed in the objective window). However, they must be collected before the Portal stabilizers spawn on the map. This probably needs to be put in the mission info or something.

Well, this hit the fan.

Not to ruin anyone's fun, but, I'd like to take this opportunity to remind everyone... If you believe a bug or map problem to be an exploit, please do not post it publicly. Submit it via a support ticket. Thank you.

Hey folks, turn down the hostility, okay? Half of this thread is people arguing just to argue, and if it continues that way, I'm shutting it down.

Hey folks. I know that hiding posts that ask questions is a bad look, but if a dev comes in here and says "THIS is what this thread is about", don't start hassling them about what you think it should be about. Stay on-topic please. Thank you.

Per the Curator: NOTICE: There are a couple database-related changes in Page 4, which means characters transferred to Brainstorm from Homecoming may have some oddities, specifically in regards to the weapon changes. Please verify any weapon-related issues occur on a new character created on Brainstorm before reporting them. These will be fixed retroactively on existing Homecoming characters by a database fix that will be applied to all characters when Page 4 is launched on the live servers. Make sure this isn't happening on a NEW character made on Brainstorm. If it is, confirm that and we'll add it to the bug list. Can you post this over in Beta Bug Reports? It's minor, but I want to make sure it doesn't get missed.

Moved to Archetypes, where posts like this are better suited, and hopefully will gain more traction!

Well, the GMs monitor this stuff, so the Devs are free to make content for everyone to play 😃 As for the rest of your comment? I'd hate to say it, but, it essentially comes down to "I know it when I see it". We don't have strict, precise guidelines, only because people would toe the line on purpose just to be annoying. And the GM staff needs to be free make judgement calls on these things. We've seen enough uninspired copycats and delightful homages to tell the difference by this point.

Hey folks So, I just wanted to get ahead of something, kind of an addendum to my previous post here. We've been getting tells/DMs/tickets asking about whether or not a name they want will be freed up once this all goes Live. At this time, the GM Staff will NOT be confirming or denying whether specific names will be available upon the implementation of the Name Release Policy (note that, per the patch notes, it will start in WARNING ONLY mode when it hits Live; names will not be available for some time after the initial patch goes up). Furthermore, we will not be subverting the policy if the name you want happens to be on a level 50 who's been gone for 3 years. In short, the GMs are going to be hands-off when it comes to this system. We're not going to lock accounts, or unlock names, or confirm when a name you want is going to be freed up. If this changes, we will of course let you know. But for now, please assume that we're not going to be able to assist you in these matters, and that you'll be on your own when it comes to protecting your names/trying to claim names you want. Thank you!

Yes, please report any copyright names/costumes/bios/etc. From in-game, use Menu -> Support. Make sure you copy/paste their name if possible to avoid weird issues with uppercase i's looking like lowercase L's and so on. Note that filter evasion/letter swapping doesn't constitute homage/parody/fair use and should still be reported.

More than once I've had to unstick people from narrow alleys like this one, which they can fall into from above. This specific one is in the North West of Steel Canyon, rough coordinates [-1761.1 31.1 -2688.0] (coords from above)
