You want to know what's truly a volunteer project? Warhammer Return of Reckoning. That team has never taken a single dime from a single soul. This place takes over 5 Grand per month with people willingly just throwing money at them. I'm sorry, but these servers do not cost anywhere near 5 grand a month to run. I know this from personal experience. Stop using that as an excuse, as these people here actually like the game and are here because they enjoy CoX. They need to get somebody who actually likes Masterminds, understands them and their weakness, and make them a lot better and more fun to play. Get them and every other AT into the meta. I'm absolutely sick of all the excuses people like you toss out. More effort needs to be put into this project. Plain and simple.

So I see my thread of several weeks ago is still going. How about we actually get some information on when masterminds are going to get some love? There is nothing wrong with taking some ideas from thunderspy, stop acting like you're re-inventing the wheel.

You have code monkeys. And you have true game developers with an imagination. The devs here seem to be code monkeys trying to be both. That does not work. You are talking about 2 different types of brains. I don't know if they even have a designated game developer here. They would have hit on the master mind thing immediately.

Like the "talks" that have gone on for over a decade? Nothing takes that long to figure out. I honestly sense BS here. Not one time have they actually shown a conversation with NC soft to the public. Nothing. Are we gonna have to wait another 10 years while donating 7 grand every month for servers that would cost 500 bucks if that to run the current player base. And yes I know what I'm talking about I used to run a few mmorpg private servers that had around 200 players in at once. The only problem was random access memory. I had to have a virtual private server that could handle it. It only cost like 79 a month. As much as I like this server I think it's shady. Personally if these guys are putting in so much work they need to be paid. Not some asshole behind a desk doing nothing in South Korea.

And this is the reason I created a thread a while ago that said thunder spy has great ideas that need to be "repurposed" into Homecoming's favor. All competitors do this. Just look at fast food as an example. Homecoming is a monopoly that could take full advantage of great ideas and bring all the boys to the school yard. So to speak.

All development teams on this earth would go no where if people continued to just kiss their ass all day like you, Tyger, and Arcane. The devs are lucky to have people like me and a few others on here. We let them know things can be better with tough love and interest in the project, not just "go with the flow" and accept everything given to us. That is not saying they don't do a good job and we hate everything they have released either. If I had no interest or hope in Homecoming I wouldn't even care to post on here.

Regardless if it's "Volunteer" or "Paid Staff" the dev team is all over the place with zero direction right now. Direction is the #1 killer or successor of any project. You can use that as a quote. I give thee permission to do so.

I admit this actually made me chuckle. I don't hate the developers of homecoming. Disappointed in them is nowhere near as bad. Example: I do despise the idiots in charge of WoW and refunded my DF pre-order epic version due to certain political reasons that I won't explain here. Catastrophically monstrous difference.

Okay, what? Do you have it on your calendar or something? "Oh this day i'm going blue costume. And tomorrow is purple. No, maybe orange? No maybe I won't play that character and make a new one!" 🤪 Pet customization would be way cooler and worth a few slots. Just saying.

You use entitled incorrectly as this is something multiple people have wanted. Not just me. The problem with these "community" mmorpgs is there is no community aside from what the dev's version of the game is. We are not talking months here we are talking years with no direction to fix and add-on to the fantasy of masterminds. Yeah, the recharge reduction was a cool change, but that's all we've gotten. Where are the new pets? Where is cutomizing your pet's looks? Where is a lot of the stuff that people have wanted like fixes to the mercenary set? I don't hate the devs so stop putting words in my mouth. I am however disappointed in them. To inhale some hopium here: Page 4 did have a couple of mercenary tweaks due to smashing/lethal being changed into fire/aoe on certain things. Hopefully we see some hot fixes to at least buff the pet's levels.

They don't care. If they did we would have seen some solid changes and additions to this AT years ago. I am so disheartened by this team that I have given so much patience to.

What do we get instead? Bards. Can the devs actually listen to half of their player base? Everybody I knew that played a MM was excited to see some love in this update and has now lost all hope. We won't be seeing another page until next year so yeah.. fun.

Page 4 won't have it. So people will be waiting until next year with the speed of this team if it's actually looked at. Masterminds have wanted multiple changes for years now and they add bards instead. No idea where the priorities of this dev team are right now because it seems like they are all over the place.

I really don't understand why you guys just don't make "normal" content give way better rewards and exp. Especially for solo play. AE is fun for role players and stuff but get rid of the farming and get some actual direction in the game. If I was a new player I would be completely lost. I think there are far too many story arcs that just go in various directions and there is no main story mission. If you guys actually had a main story mission that clear as day showed you it's a main story mission from level 1 to 50 that would be so much better.

My 07/07 (77 total on dice) didn't come through. Either they were not ready or it means something else.

Great feedback, ignoramus. How about you actually explain yourself and why you dislike the weakest early game ATs to get their pets early? I bet you don't even know why. You're just being argumentative.

Thunderspy makes Controller and Dominator pets level 1 and it makes the class so much better to play solo. I think level 12 would be fine and you got my support for this idea.

There is nothing wrong with stealing great ideas. Thunderspy has some very great changes to my favorite archetype and I feel the devs here should look into copying everything you see there. Let's face it, Thunderspy will never get the players this place has. You may as well consume them and monopolize.

77 = 07/07 July 07 is release date.

Kind of cool. It doesn't really explain much though in detail. I just asked them directly if patch notes are available or will be available soon.

Do you guys even have public patch notes or anything? I check out the discord and nothing is showing.

You're too cool man. Nothing comes up with the search function aside from get on a beta discord. I have jumped on that and nothing is available to public eyes.

Does anybody have info on what's going on with a new major update to Homecoming? We still don't have Mastermind Customization after all this time and there are plenty of other things the server needs too like a less cryptic endgame with more direction and rewards so you can avoid the auction house reliance solo (if you want that challenge) and steps to get people involved quicker. An option to save and use progress with badges on another character would be welcome too. (optional for the people who don't want it) CoH for some reason has always had a really crappy endgame and I hope you guys have plans to make it more fun and engaging without having to look up the wiki on what to do.

I get the challenge of making a weaker character just for the roleplay and personal experience. My idea was simply to get a way to get even stronger beyond incarnates and I am a huge fan of the Ring of Royal Grandeur and mixing set bonuses in Diablo 3 so there is that too which I would personally find fun in City of Heroes.

I was having a shitty day and took it out on you guys. I do apologize for that. I actually didn't know about that (on the market at least). Very cool. If we could get something like this on the recipe in the crafting window while you also have the AH window up that would be stellar. Either way, this is a feature I must of missed and simply adding the recipe to the storage and clicking on this and buying everything makes it a bit easier. Thank you for the detailed info Ultra.
