You can get all the biography space you need here.

Yep. Again, the Homecoming player base as a whole severely undervalues AoE mez protection. You just got to be the one to do it yourself, with Clarion Core Destiny and/or Tactics.

Between this and the various reports of the RWZ story arcs and some screenshots I've seen of other missions, it's sounding like bosses are spawning in place of lieutenants?

Agreed completely. The changes pushed through the last couple of release candidates should have been held back. You don't push game altering things through into release candidates like that. People assume rightfully that release candidates are for bug fixing. If a few people hadn't tested the keybinds that were pushed through three days before release, people that used the default keybinds would have had their keybinds overwritten because the keybinds profiles didn't actually work. Still, it was just a mistake that can be corrected and learned from.

Now that we have both advanced mode Rikti, and an instanced MSR... Advanced Rikti Mothership Raid when? Lock it down to level 50 characters only, and up the rewards to something like five Vanguard merits per defeat. Sounds like fun. It would be nice to have an actual somewhat challenging raid in the game again.

Go to Pocket D in either Mercy Isle or Port Oakes. On the red side of Pocket D is a box truck with a seagull on top of it, named Null. Talk with Null the Gull. One of the options he offers is to change your alignment. Change your alignment to Rogue if you just want to visit blue side, or change it to Vigilante if you want to mostly play blue side. Then take the elevator on the blue side of Pocket D out to a blue side zone. Have fun!

Something must be off, because they show up on mine, and I'm using the newest release of VidiotMaps: @SnoBahr , have you tried uninstalling VidiotMaps, and then re-installing it?

My pleasure. The color of the enhancements screen is gold, you may be thinking of that.

This is just me, but the way I've looked at the game since live is: Missions and story arcs are for soloing. Task Forces, Strike Forces, and Trials are for teaming. Everyone gets reward merits on TFs/SFs/Trials, while only mission holders do on story arcs and as you've pointed out, trying to align everyone on a team for story arcs is just messy. Too messy to be worth it, IMO. If a friend of mine asks me to join him or her on a story arc, I will, but that's pretty rare as I think they view the game similarly.

It's a gray color. Can't check the hex color at the moment. Blue sounds like it is picking up your wdw.txt. Move your wdw.txt file out of your Homecoming\settings\live folder, then make a new Praetorian character. Once your character is made, you should see the default Praetorian UI colors. Then move the wdw.txt file back to the Homecoming\settings\live folder.

Just to help with data collection, which graphics card (if any), are you using?

Here.

You can unlock LRT by standing around Pocket D for one hour.

Yes, they have. That's why there are DRM-free ebooks that can be backed up. Never, because I back them up. Hasn't happened since 2010. If that was to happen, I'd just switch to one of my Kobo e-readers. A couple of weeks.

I have a tablet for web browsing and for reading digital comic books, magazines, and PDFs. I also have two e-readers for reading books. A tablet isn't the same. An e-reader has a nicer screen for book reading, it's more portable than a tablet, it doesn't need to be charged for weeks, and it's specifically designed for reading with no notifications from other apps disturbing you. As for advertisements, I have never seen any on any of the e-readers I have owned.

If you read a lot and can afford it, an Amazon Kindle Paperwhite or Kobo Libra 2 is very worth it. It'll pay itself off easily for how much easier it makes reading with aging eyes, and it takes up so much less space.

Amazon Kindle and Kobo e-readers have the ability to invert the screen with an all black background and white text. I use that. It's really nice to have hundreds or even thousands of ebooks on one device that's built specifically for reading, where you control the colors, font size, and even the fonts themselves. I much prefer ebooks to print books these days, especially with my older eyes.

No time frame at the moment.

There was a lack of AoE mez protection. Specifically, Tactics and Clarion Destiny. The common advanced modes strategies have gotten players into a bad habit of taking Barrier Destiny and only Barrier Destiny, and the player base overall underrates AoE mez protection. That can create a lethal combination for some Incarnate trials, especially Minds of Mayhem.

The Wards are admittedly a little overtuned, which the Paragon Studios developers admitted to in one of the post-sunset AMAs. That's not a bad thing though, IMO. It creates a nice balance compared to the much easier old blue side content. The first three Praetorian zones aren't over tuned though, they're just not as easy as the earlier low-level zones. The only real difficulty is playing them with a Mastermind, as ambushes ignore your henchmen and target the Mastermind directly. But it can be done.

Yeah, I am not crazy about attuned IO enhancement sets for that reason. But gold side content actually poses a little difficulty unlike most earlier content, and making it leveless would just make it easier.

Blue side is a cakewalk at any level. Night Ward at level 30 isn't.

No thank you. I enjoy playing the Praetorian content at level because it isn't so easy that I can roll my face on my keyboard and still win like blue side. Fix the various bugs gold side? Sure. Smooth out the leveling? Great. Be unable to start characters in Praetoria and play the content at the levels it was designed for? No way. In addition, leveless doesn't really work in City of Heroes as everything has an internal level. Making the Wards leveless would be meaningless as it would be a cakewalk at level 50.

That's not a bug. Those values are for pets and henchmen only. PCs themselves only get half. You're not the first person to get tripped up by that.

First thing I'm going to do is change the power tray slots back to numbers, put the recharge timer at the bottom of powers, and re-save my options settings to options.txt. Then I will save the classic keybinds to keybinds.txt so I never have to see the new modern keybinds. The second thing is I will continue leveling my Katana/Bio Brute currently parked in Nova Praetoria, waiting to ding level 10 and get automatically assigned the Praetorian invention tutorial. I could have just continued playing and done the tutorial myself for funsies, but I wanted to wait as I've wanted to see the invention tutorial pop-up be brought back for a while for new and returning players. After that, make an Illusion/Arsenal Dominator.
