Just a reminder that this will be in one week, and we're still looking for one person. So far we have a Super Strength/Stone Armor Brute, Beam Rifle/Radiation Armor Sentinel, Symphony Control/Marine Affinity Controller, Earth Control/Sonic Dominator, a Sentinel of some kind, Electrical Blast/Kinetics Corruptor, and my Thugs/Electrical Affinity Mastermind.

It's twenty characters.

Speed of Sound on a Brute or Tanker lets you aggro a bunch of mobs while you're speeding through a map, and bring them with you to the final room so your teammates can enjoy. Combat Teleport does not. Therefore, Speed of Sound wins.

Howdy! Steady Indomitable is about to start its third campaign on Saturday, May 3rd, at 3 P.M. ET/12 P.M. PT. The plan is to run every Saturday for approximately two to two-and-a-half hours. We will play gold side from Precinct 5 through Night Ward, and then make our way to the Rogue Isles where we will play red side through level 50. We plan to run all gold side content (both Loyalist and Resistance), pausing XP at levels seven, thirteen, and eighteen. All missions will be kill most/steamroll, there will be no speed running. We currently have seven players including myself, and we're looking for one more. Since we will be playing through all gold side content, and we're only meeting every Saturday, expect this campaign to take several months. Currently we have a Brute, Controller, Corruptor or Mastermind, Dominator, two Sentinels, and I'm up in the air. 🙂 The only four rules are: no XP boosters; no speed running; you must disable XP at levels 7, 13, and 18; and have fun!

That's exactly why the Galaxy City tutorial was de-emphasized with the Outbreak and Breakout tutorials emphasized. They both explain the game better than the Galaxy City tutorial for players who are willing to read. Plus, the Galaxy City tutorial gives new players a bad first impression of the game, thinking that the rest of the game is voiced like more modern MMOGs.

Not to mention that there's 25 years of technical debt in the City of Heroes code base. Some modern computers (even ones with discrete graphics cards), struggle to run City of Heroes thanks to the game's technical foundations being so old.

It's a myth that started back in the live days, although seems to have gained greater prevalence on Homecoming, especially Excelsior. AoE stealth powers have no impact on spawn sizes.

Word is that the video game Tron: Identity has some bearing on the plot of this film.

This happened to me right after defeating Jack in Irons a few years ago. The Croatoa zone crashed and everyone in it was disconnected and rolled back a few minutes, losing the badge and reward merits. I just assumed that it was Excelsior being Excelsior at the time, as it's not exactly the most stable of the now six shards.

My condolences on your loss.

There's an ancient bug from very early on live that still exists to this day: If you enter an instance, there's a random but very tiny chance that the game will throw you onto someone else's instance... Someone's mission, an Incarnate trial, or even an arena match. It's happened to me three times in the past 20 years, and it sounds like that is what happened to you. Sorry, that sucks.

You can already solo 95% of the game's content on just about any character. There's very little content that you actually need a team for. So what's the difference between someone playing one or three accounts while soloing?

It's a known bug that has been around for about a year now.

Every shard has its own personality and culture. For better or worse, Excelsior is essentially Freedumb 2.0 with all that entails.

Just a heads up that at least one of the mods, Hasten Muted, appears to have become corrupt. I did a clean install of the OS on my computer this weekend, and went to grab all of the mods via City Mod Installer. All of them downloaded successfully, except for Hasten Muted. It failed the MD5 checksum match. I attempted again, same thing. So, out of curiosity, I downloaded the mod manually via the website, and it downloaded as a 0 KB file. There was nothing in it. Tried again on a different browser, and same thing. This mod used to download just fine before as I've done so several times before, and I know a couple of friends that use the mod as well.
