  1. The exp/influ numbers aren't exactly the same. I don't know the intended scaling, but right now it's 88% Exp / 25% Exp. At least those are the values I pulled from my farm on +4 vs +5. Yeah, farm creators need to re-upload their farms to scale from 1-55. So right now, a good idea is to make sure the farm you're choosing scales to 55.
  2. There’s a lot of debate about whether running missions at +5 difficulty is better than sticking to +4. After some testing, I’ve concluded the answer isn’t a simple yes or no. It depends heavily on your clear time. TL;DR: +5 Farming is worth it, but only if you are not slowed down too much. If you're less than ~25% slower, you're making more influence per hour Experience will (almost) always be improved by +5 If you have sitters +5 is almost always better If you're just farming for influence, +4 is more efficient unless your clear times are extremely fast. Here's the full breakdown: Raw Reward Increases: +4 → +5 These were the rewards numbers with 3 players on the map: +5 Minion 3,803 experience and 3,549 influence. +5 Lieutenant 7,606 experience and 12,170 influence. +5 Boss 22,819 experience and 38,032 influence. +4 Minion 2,024 experience and 2,833 influence. +4 Lieutenant 4,047 experience and 9,713 influence. +4 Boss 12,142 experience and 30,355 influence. XP Increase: +4 → +5 gives +88% XP (1.88×) Influence Increase: +4 → +5 gives +25.3% Influence (1.253×) XP jumps massively. Influence rises modestly. Clear Time Matters More Than Anything Else A reward multiplier is only good if the time doesn’t scale even harder. So the key question is: How much slower can +5 be before it becomes worse than +4? Break-Even Analysis: Break-even happens when: Time multiplier = Reward multiplier. So: XP Break-Even Time: 1.88× slower allowed You can take 88% longer and still break even for XP. Influence Break-Even Time: 1.253× slower allowed You can take 25.3% longer and still break even for influence. Influence has the tighter window. Real Example: 30-Minute Map Timer Let’s say: On +4, you finish with 10 minutes left on a 30-minute timer → Run time = 20 minutes On +5, you finish with 5 minutes left on a 30-minute timer → Run time = 25 minutes Extra Time Spent: 5 minutes Percentage Slower: 25% You're 25% slower, which is the break-even threshold. If you are farming solo, you are losing influence efficiency. However, if you have sitters, they're enjoying quite a bit more experience. In an 8-hour farming session you'll net nearly ~24 full runs on +4 whereas +5 only gets ~19. So when do I choose +5 over +4? You want faster XP (you almost can’t lose on XP) Your build can handle the extra difficulty smoothly +4 is better if: +5 slows you down by more than 25% You’re optimizing purely for influence/hour You prefer faster, smoother runs
  3. Due to situations out of my control, I had to cancel this event until further notice. Sorry for the inconvenience.
  4. Mids reborn is the new updated version with the Homecoming data included. It also has up to date Rebirth information. Very handy. https://midsreborn.com/
  5. Hey I'm pretty sure this thread has a solution for you https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/37608-graphic-option-outlines-gone-funny/
  6. I ran into some serious issues with DSR on CoX recently so make sure that's turned off. Sadly that's a global setting so if you have DSR in other games it will always mess with CoX. I don't think DSR is worth it anyways.
  7. I don't know why nobody mentioned it, but it's incredibly simple. The graphics settings are held in a gfx.json file located in homecoming directory \settings\live All I did was pick the settings I wanted and then saved the gfx.json file in a different location. Then I made a .bat file that copies the graphics settings file I desire and then launches the game.
  8. I'm trying to multibox and I want different graphics settings depending on the number of accounts I am running. I'm trying to find an easy way to switch between high fidelity and no frills in a quick fashion.
  9. I don't really know what I'm looking for. Just a generalist build. I got Perma Hasten and then Capped S/L and Ranged Defense. Tried to get my accuracy and damage up but other than that I don't really know what I'm doing or looking for. The over all goal of the build is pretty simple: Buff everyone with defense and debuff the enemy's ToHit. Any advice is welcome This Hero build was built using Mids Reborn 3.2.17 https://github.com/LoadedCamel/MidsReborn Click this DataLink to open the build!
