Nope. It's not really possible. Unless you get a static team together that you micromanage to the extreme (which I have actually been doing the past couple of months), Praetoria just isn't conducive to teaming. Too many branching paths, and solo missions that interfere with team play where you have to break up the team, and then reform. Praetoria is more for solo and duo play than team play.

It's the latter. A second The Hive or The Abyss opens right up once the zone is full.

It goes to all sides. Red, blue, and gold. Generally if not blue only, "red side" or "co-op" will/should be stated.

Sonic Manipulation to melt mobs with your very own -res debuff ring. Martial to bring out your John Wick.

McDonald's is popular as well.

That's the great and welcoming modern Homecoming community we all know and love. They've been telling people who prefer to play City of Heroes as it was played back on live to go elsewhere for years.

Thank you, @UberGuy! It is very much appreciated, as always.

Bear in mind that not everyone likes double XP. I regularly avoided playing on double XP weekends back on live. Two people complained about this double XP on Reddit because they are trying to do story arcs without outleveling them. I had to cancel my Saturday Praetorian static team late Friday night because of it, as doing a Praetoria completionist run with regular XP is a pain in the rear as it is.

Under Contact Type, choose Standard Contacts. Then under Contact Category, you'll see P2719657162. Looks like it should be Dark Astoria.

Make Mastermind minion and lieutenant henchmen equal level to the Mastermind PC. Bring on the Aprocalypse. Buff Kinetic Melee. Port Ninjitsu to the Brute AT. I very much doubt that this one will happen, but Gadgetry power pool please. I want my Jet Pack, (and no, temporary power ones don't count). I very much doubt that this one will happen with Homecoming's lack of 3D artists and animators, but more hoodie options please.

To be fair, there are a couple of very endurance hungry Defender primary power sets. Sonic Resonance says, "Hello." You have never known struggling for endurance until you have played a Sonic Resonance Mastermind.

I came across an updated video of this. Great work, @VVonder .

The resetting back to the original does sound like a bug, but as for graphics not changing, that's probably because of Performance mode. It was reported and it was stated that it is WAI as it requires a graphics shader option from ultra mode. This probably should have been mentioned in the patch notes.

FWIW, the Mids' Reborn developers don't pay attention to the forums much. It's a known issue that they're trying to fix. In the meantime, there's a manual database update. Download it here. Extract it, and place the Homecoming folder in your Mids' Reborn data folder, overwriting the Homecoming folder and the files within.

Are you using Performance mode? I.e., are you using low graphics settings?

There actually is, but you have to be on the Mids' Reborn Discord server to get it.

Yeah, that's why I don't recommend Yandex. Swisscows is just a Bing wrapper, like DuckDuckGo. Gigablast died two years ago, it no longer exists.

Most web search engines are wrappers for Google search or Bing, yes, (including DuckDuckGo and Startpage). However, there are four web search engines that use their own crawlers and indexers and are independent from Google search and Bing: Brave Search, Kagi, Mojeek, and Yandex. I usually recommend Brave Search and Kagi to people, but Mojeek is a decent alternative.

Yep. Here's a really good article on how Google changed their search engine to basically destroy the open Internet and anything that isn't big business. TL;DR: Stop using Google search and Bing. Use one of the three independent search engines.

Google (and lol Bing), are not anywhere as good as they used to be. Try Brave Search, Mojeek, or Kagi.

Not only that, but the Homecoming community as a whole has started to use the Barrier Destiny as a crutch for *everything*, even in content where there would be far better Destiny power picks. It's quite annoying. But I digress.

City of Villains launched on October 31st, 2005, with the pre-order head start on October 27th, 2005. Does the Homecoming Team have anything planned to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the better game? Balloons throughout Grandville, perhaps? A shiny new badge?

No room in any of my character builds for it. I take Speed for Hasten and Super Speed, Fighting for Tough and Weave, either Leadership for Maneuvers or Leaping for Combat Jump, and Flight for Hover and Fly because I literally do not see the point in playing a super-powered character without flight. Can't take a fifth power pool, so no Fold Space nor Combat Teleport for me.
