Welcome back home! Glad to see you here! I had no idea Tic Toc was you!!

NCSoft can shut down ANY city of heroes private server at any time. As long as you play, you have a good chance of being shut down. With the licensing agreement, Homecoming is less likely to be shut down. If you feel safer on private servers instead of one with a licensing agreement, keep in mind that you run the risk of those servers getting C&D. NCSoft can do that at any time.

Mostly wondering if I should try Fire Melee with Ice Armor or go with Ice Melee with Fire Armor?

You were literally the Gingerbread Man from Shrek 3 in trying to avoid saying yes or no, lol. Glad to see a confirmation at long last!

Oh. My. God. I've been wanting that seer outfit for years. Seeing it-omgosh and everything else, I'm so HYPED!!

That's another problem though. Level 50 means your at a time level to so and so. Another suggestion is to literally let people ignore that number. You are literally forced into a choice to either forcibly cap yourself in the game to play the content you want while never reaching other levels or to go to level 50 and be capped forever. Not everyone wants to just cap one character then go use another. You can't go into Kings Row at level 50, set up a radio, and be greeted with "these are beneath you." What kind of hero says that? I suggest we treat level 50 for what it is - a level, but how that level is should be up to the player. Does that increase in power make them feared higher up to incarnate level? What if they just want to be saving the world level? Or just making gangs having to literally settle a truce to literally come at you hardcore? Something similar to villains, too. At the very least, let players be able to run radios/paper missions everywhere no matter where they are. Even if it doesn't cater to the level they are at, the option should be there.

So with the game going official and potentially finishing out content that got left in the dirt years ago, this also leaves the option to either go with the original vision of the developers or to try to go through channels. Like, I get it, I love the incarnate path and the magic stuff. While talking with friends though, I'm noticing more and more how City of Heroes just slowly becomes City of Gods. There really isn't much to cater to people who want to play certain kind of heroes, like street level, or handle other things. I guess my suggestion is after going forward, I think instead of branching further to the original vision that Homecoming should branch to its own vision. It's a City of Heroes. City of Villains. Going Rogue brought interesting in-betweens too, but I think it opens up a lot more potential stories to cater to different needs. I absolutely love that one story with the Skulls and would like more things to cater to all levels, regardless of in-game level. Magic should take a backseat for a while and cater to other things; mutations, science, technology or even just natural things. There should be more smaller stories to allow a person to want to play a street level hero despite being level 50 and able to bust up games. The opposite should be true for a villain if they want to be street level villainy. This game is old so I don't know what's possible in the code or not but I think we should cater more to the name and branch out for smaller stories, showing off the lore and updating it(looking at the Trolls here) and letting players customize their experience to what kind their character wants to be. Of course, this may cater more to roleplay tastes but it could also mean more options to get neat toys too. I don't know, just thought I'd throw it out to the wind.

I have wrote before but to have it set up again. Hi! I played as Luficia and Dominatriea back on Live on the Virtue server. Now? I play on the Everlasting server with the global name @Aymeigh My main characters these days are as follows: Solarguard (My main) Dominatriea (yep brought her back) Gemknight Tanzanite Spider Scout Eremite Centennial Cosmic Glory Atomistic and last but not least to get her leveled Deathmaiden -- I AM looking for anyone who used to be part of the Steadfast Pact back in live! Mostly someone who played True Silver. If you see this and you play the game now, I've been looking to meet back up with you for years! Hit me up if you see this!

With the exp boosts, I'm trying to take advantage with a new alt to my Gemknight for alt powers and I never really played Blaster since 2004. I'm aiming for Water Blast/Temporal for a fun combo. I want to make this work for level 50 damage powerhouse with other utilities related to the build. Any other tools to take. I'd like to work either magic flight or would take super jump as a travel power. Anyone who has played this set, what recommendations you got or even IOs to work with on each one??

I'll try to throw myself in there after work if your still stress testing after 5 PM EST.

Please let AU Recluse have Excalibur with a gothic rainbow

SG Name: United Underworld RP/RP Friendly: Heavy RP Friendly! Theme/Era: Think of in the comic books when the big bads, like Darkseid, Doctor Doom, etc all get together for a villainous goal? Each individual having a bronze/silver theme or some other big thing. So keep that in mind and bring your best! Redside/Blueside: Redside! Discord: https://discord.gg/7yQaEfdhQW Recruitment Message: Do you like running events with your villainous big bad? Are you looking to do devious things to the heroically inclined? Do you want to do content in the Etoile Isles? Do you want to make the best villainous presentation of your life? Well, do I have a VG for you! United Underworld is a VGRP in Everlasting that is dedicated to being a home for big bads, working together to do big bad things. OOC? It's a place for villains and story tellers to band together to do what we do best; be villains, tell stories and make friends along the way! It takes a lot of work and dedication to be a super villain - plotting the story, working out the details with your heroic partner(s) in the story, wondering if the FBI has you on a watch list from all the things you’ve googled for your villainous plot, writing up AEs, running events via dice and text, managing the RPPvP, etc. It’s hard and it's even harder to do it by yourself. So why do it by yourself when you can do it with a bunch of people just as crazy as you? That’s not all! UU is a celebration of villainy; from world domination to other dastardly deeds! We’d love to be able to run more redside content with players and VGs to get to do the content. I’m sure there are questions so I’ll answer them here. — Isn’t United Underworld the same group back from Live? Is it being run by the same leader? Yes, and no! United Underworld did exist back on Live and briefly on Everlasting years back. However, UU is under new management now! If you have any concerns, you can message me in-game as Aymeigh or on the Homecoming discord! I’m happy to chat! Do I have to play a big super villain to join the United Underworld? Nope! There’s two roles in UU; Villains, and Henchman. If you're the kind of person who would rather play a henchman and help others with their plots? You can do that too! Even as a henchman, you can run events or your own thing. Who knows? Maybe your henchman expands to his own villainous epiphany to join the villain ranks. ( evil cackle ) Is there a rank to work toward in United Underworld? Yes! There is the circle called the Council of Chaos! There are at least 4 to 8 members at a time. When part of the Council of Chaos, you have the spotlight set on you and/or your partners! They run the big events and at the end of the plot? They leave the Council for another to take their place in. This is purely IC fluff. So is there any real leadership in United Underworld? There is! IC, it’s run by Dominatriea. She is content to help her villainous pals with all their goals with her doing a thing or two on her own. When she steps in the ring? I’d like it to pop and mean something OOC, it’s run by me. I will have several seconds in command to keep things going if anything should happen to me. The show must go on! -- Does any of this interest you? Do message me on Discord or in-game as @Aymeigh. Let’s make 2023 the year of the VILLAIN! Mwahahaha!

How did I miss that!? I'm a doofus, thank you!

I have been trying to find builds on this but haven't found anything anywhere! Does anyone play this combo? If you do, how is it? What powers do you recommend?

I think if things like weight are good to put in. Especially if your a roleplayer and you think you can try to sweep a lady off her feet unaware that she weighs 600+ pounds due to body durability and super strength. I think details like that are okay and probably necessary depending.

Yeah! I'm holding it for now. Would you like it? Message me on Discord via Homecoming or on CoX via my handle @luficia

I've got one name I've been trying to make work but never could that's up for grabs. Wendy Wonder

I wanted to have a little fun and play with something not many get to go with - regeneration with fire blast. I've got a good story to go with the character but pondering how to make it work. I'm really bad with builds. Figuring out the numbers, etc, so I thought I'd ask for suggestions.

Assumptions? You don't play the same content as I do. There's a serious problem grinding and not playing the game only to go try to do something like ITF and don't know what they are doing or because of the farm mentality is so high, they contribute nothing. I have to remove them. I would know because I've dealt this more than once. It is an issue. I'm just pointing it out. I'm not going to argue with you on it so please tone it down. It's a feedback channel, not a wendy's.

I'm looking forward to seeing about testing the merits for myself when I get a chance tonight! I'd like to have some GM clarification in the Dev Diary of why the change was reverted. This sets a clear line that if people cry loud enough, they'll get what they want and those people will feel empowered. That's not a good thing. There has to be other factors why the change was reverted but that does not fix the big problem of people just grinding in AE content and then when they choose to play content but don't know what they are doing. It's a set back, if anything. The situation I mentioned before is only going to get worse.

Seeing the notes, I'm going to say this; I am 100% thrilled with the change. There is something that people haven't considered and I run this content with ITFs and TinPex and Apex runs. There is an uncomfortable amount of people who do nothing but AE farming to the point that they don't know the content. They don't know how to play, much less what else they need to do. There has been more then one occasion where I am trying to lead people in the ITF where people are purposely sitting as if expecting a free grind or they don't know what to do at all. The core part of farming remains the same; you can still grind for exp from 1 through 50. You can get exp to unlock your incarnate slots. Those are the most important things to farm for; after that, you have to play the content. This is a good thing even if I wish more people would play the game and learn it. These are good steps in the right direction. AE Farming should be helping toward the goal, not BE the goal. There's so much to this game and this whole thing is necessary. You can just as easily get your veterans with ITFs on a good run or running other content. I would know, this is ALL I do every time I play. I farm up to 50; radios, AE farming, etc. Once there, I set up what build I've got and run ITFs and everything else I've got. It is ridiculous how fast you can get your veterans - at least 2 or 3 a pop on a great run. These changes are necessary and it does not change the core purpose of farming; getting to 50 and potential incarnates ASAP. (TBH I think new people in the game should have to level to 50 first before even allowed to touch AE but that's just me.)

I know some people who will use it to make characters like police officers or just normal civilians for roleplay. These level 2 characters are typically not used beyond just roleplay. Though I'm worried if an exception to level 2 roleplayers for names, suddenly, everyone is going to become roleplayers in order to hog names they don't intend to play/use. Give an inch, a good majority is going to use it to take a mile.

This is just for fun. I recreated my old main from Virtue with Broad Sword/Dark Armor I want to roll around. I want to make it work even if I know it won't be the best. Any advice would be great especially as I'm not very good with builds.

I'm terrible on builds and wanting to try this but not sure to go with Invuln or Willpower. Any tips? Advice? Builds and me aren't the best.
