*shrug* I get that. I just think that sounds like a lot of work for very little benefit. Especially given the current Blue/Red distribution, you'd end up with 245 costumes in one, and 5 lonely villains in the other. 🙂

Just throwing in my 2 INF, but I'd *hate* that. Seeing other heroes I know is a great deal of the fun. Remember, you're not fighting the heroes. You're fighting people *cosplaying* the heroes. 🙂

I've spotted my character (Magic Librarian) twice so far, and both times it was the *biggest* thrill. I loved the original, and I'm sorry so much work had to be put in to revise it, but at the same time, the new version is just...*chef's kiss*. Thanks for everything you do, @brigg!

Echoing what others have said: my biggest desire is just not having to start over. New content would be fab, new powers. Maybe addressing some of the powersets that maybe need a little love. Honestly, though -- you guys haven't done me wrong so far, and I trust you. Just keep up the good work!

My partner's ice/energy build is a work in progress, but you can find it a bit further down. I can't tell you how well it works yet, because we haven't gotten her to 50 yet.

Given the general reaction I've gotten to playing Katana/Regen Scrapper (which are mostly variations of "why are you playing that? It's awful."), I'm astonished that it's the 7th most popular Scrapper combo.)

Thanks for the feedback! This remains a work-in-progress, and I really appreciate it! 🙂

After some critique sessions from a couple of folks, both in-game and on Discord, I now have the following build to play with. Thanks to everyone who gave critique and feedback to the first draft.

I see a lot of random discussion, but can't seem to find a build guide anywhere. Anyone have a pointer, as my GoogleFu has totally abandoned me. 🙂

Ok, weirdly, I *reinstalled* f.lux, and...it seems to have stopped. Wondering if there was some remnant on my system that was getting triggered somehow. *shrug*

I don't at this time. I had it installed once upon a time, but i never re-installed it when I refreshed my installation, because it was a built in feature now.

This is, I think, pretty recent, but i'm not sure when precisely it started. When I launch the game, regardless of time of day, something triggers the Windows 10 feature that dims the blue light (Night Light settings in control panel->display). If I go to the Control Panel and toggle it on and off, it resets to normal, but then soon will dim again. It's not game-breaking, but it is odd. Has anyone else encountered this, and if so, is there a fix/workaround to make it stop? (I had, in the past, had Night Light scheduled to dim in the evenings, but I've turned it off, and it still is doing it.)

Its true. I did play an entire weekend on a dialup modem, when my DSL was down. To be fair, we *did* refer to the experience as "City of Slideshows", but the only time it was a huge problem was when there were a lot of power effects going off at once in a big team fight. You could still do a lot of normal missions with a fair bit of smoothness. Anyway, that was more a bandwidth problem than a ping issue. I've been playing Homecoming from the west coast of the US, which is about as far away from the servers as you can get without getting wet, and I've had zero network-related issues, only server load issues. Great job, Devs! Thanks so much for bringing us home.
