You are correct, good sir! My mistake.

There are some enhancements I would take that only go up to level 20 or 30 or 40, and I would choose them because they were cheaper than the 1-50 sets. Some are good, but it seems none will ever come close to what we get with the max 50 sets

Knockbacks are amazing! Especially when you get the angles right they allow you to be more strategic with which order you fight enemies and great for keeping AVs or mobs away from each other while taking them down. Maybe there could be an enhancement or something, that can turn KBs into KUs (knockups). KnockDowns work great as well. Peacebringer is my main and I love that I have KB abilities and KD abilities. So cool.

Lunar Ronin... THANK YOU!!!! This is amazing! Thank you soo much! Storylines can be followed for arcs by when they were added to game which can be seen in Ouro and the zone levels show that progression, so what you just added, plus the chart for praetorian content is everything I was hoping for!!! AMAZING! Thank you again! S!

Welcome! There is honestly no point in joining any server other than Excelsior because it has everything - RPers, PVPers and everyone else. Maybe if you have a different time zone than another server might be better, but none of them come close to how many players are on Excelsior. The PVPers are there, but you should reach out on PVP forums to find others. Sometimes you can find them online depending where you go and which channels you ask on. But it's maybe like 5% of the playerbase, if even that much. AE has a TON of content, though stick with the higher rated missions as they are the most complete. But for REAL content, you have tons of story arcs and missions and repeatable missions, as well as dozens of trials, taskforces, strikeforces and raids. You will have years of content just playing one character and if you make alts and play a Hero, Villain and Praetorian, you will never get bored. You can also become a vigilante or rogue, which opens up some special story arcs as well. Ease yourself back into things and check on the wiki for "what has changed" (link below) and it gives a nice outline of everything added or changed since GR ended. WELCOME BACK! S! https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/What's_New_in_Homecoming_for_Returning_Players

Yes, all are older guides, but I always used to love these guides for mmos and they have lots of info some might not know. There is one for CoH, then an updated one for CoV. I do know they had another update with GR stuff added, but couldn't find it. Anyways, I just wanted to let you all know its there and free to download and keep. Now I wanna find the links for the 3 novels. That would be epic to add them too.

I want to have 4 main characters. One Hero/Vigilante One Villain/Rogue One Resistance Praetorian - that becomes vigilante/hero One Loyalist Praetorian - that becomes rogue/villain With what was posted, I have a good flowchart now for all content level 40+ going through everything in the Praetorian story for my hero and villain from primal Earth. And my Praetorians have the 1-20 content, First Ward and Night Ward to do consecutively, and then jump into level 40+ to continue Praetorian stuff. But what about all the TFs and Trials before Apex+, as those I'd like to do in order if possible, just not sure what the order is other than release order I guess? I'm doing the Phalanx member TFs (6 of them), and the 3 old Ouro TFs. Then after Numina, not sure the order of the others like Moonfire, Hess, Reichsman and a few others. If anyone knows that would be awesome!! I hope we can all come together and eventually have a list like what is here, but for pre-Praetorian content.

Neogumbercules wrote " ... 5. Gain a passive that removes your endurance pool completely. Powers now cost HP instead of endurance. Enemies that have been struck by HP spending powers drop orbs that heal you. Orbs can overflow your hp pool up to +200% HP. You deal x% more damage where x is equal to your overflow HP %. Powers and set bonus effects that would provide +end or +recovery instead provide +HP and +Regen respectively. Your overflow HP quickly drains down to normal when out of combat. You are completely immune to healing and -healing effects (powers, inspirations, procs, debuffs, etc) and +Regen effects have no effect beyond your normal HP cap (they can't contribute to HP overflow). The only way to recover HP is through natural Regen up to your normal HP cap or by picking up the orbs." This is a really cool idea that can used for a new AT. It would definitely be interesting. CoH can be so much more than it is currently, and it is AMAZING currently. The only problem is we have to find a way to let NCSOFT allow the devs to collect and keep the money they get. And those funds would be used on staff, servers and some marketing. Even if NCsoft got HALF of all funds coming in, it would still be plenty to hire staff fulltime and then we could see full issues releasing twice a year at least. Marketing, actually, can be handled mostly by players. Give us a badge and many would spread the word beyond what they already are doing lol. That is the ONLY way we will ever see new content and changes at a faster rate and I hope we can find a way to do it as a community. COH deserves to be around another couple of decades and I really hope we can make it happen. The devs put in a lot of work and deserve to be compensated.

Hey all! I found this online and figured I would share it with all of you. It's everything in the manual, plus so much more! Definitely fun to have as we play COH. Retro Game Strategy Guides - City of Heroes (Prima... (PDF) See you all out there! S!

There are a ton of things we could do with SuperGroup Bases. Maybe we can have a door in our SG where we can have AE missions that groups can do that are special challenges. As a SG earns badges, they unlock different parameters and challenge settings. IDK. I'm hoping we can get SG bases back to where they were on live or even better. Even without Prestige or power needs, we can definitely have base raiding and maybe more options through that.

This is all such great information. I appreciate all of you for taking the time to add your thoughts. So for purple IOs, do you mean you can only slot on set per type per build? or just one purple io per set, in one build?

You are 100% correct as I tried it in game and it did not work at all LOL. I'll try the bind.

Hey all! I hope everyone is having a great day! We start with the training, SO and Dual-Origin enhancements, until we start slotting IO enhancements and sets. At level 50, I see players doing a few things that I would like to know about more: (and what you all think) Making all IOs slotted +5 Attuning all IOs slotted Adding Hamidon enhancements Adding all purple enhancements Which of these gives you the best performance (or possibly mix of a few of these). I'm not sure if you can +5 a purple set. Any thoughts? I would like to know what to make my ultimate goal to make my character as powerful as they can possibly be. All thoughts and opinions are welcome. Maybe together we can agree on what is the best end goal for ehancements to be at their strongest. Thanks!

If you run the old Maria Jenkins story arc in Ouroboros called "A Hero's Hero" it will take you through the first storylines where praetorians start coming to primal earth. (this takes place early in games life) Then you can run the Maria Jenkins story arc "A Hero's Epic" which is a new version, which happens around when going rogue is getting started or close to that. Ouroboros level 40+ storylines and 50+ have amazing stories revolving around the Praetorians. This is from: [Rikti Invasion of Primal Earth / Hamidon War of Praetorian Earth] 0. Original Tina Macintyre and Maria Jenkins arcs (available through Ouroboros) [A decade or more passes] 1. Goldside Praetorian arcs 2. New Tina Macintyre and Maria Jenkins arcs [Terra Volta is invaded by the Praetorians and the Freedom Phalanx attempt and fail to defend it] 3. Apex Task Force 4. Tin Mage Task Force 5. Admiral Sutter Task Force 6. Behavioural Adjustment Facility Incarnate Trial 7. Lambda Sector Incarnate Trial 8. Keyes Island Reactor Incarnate Trial [As the war progresses Praetorians start to leave the city, some fleeing to First Ward with the help of the Carnival of Light] 9. First Ward arcs 10. The Underground Incarnate Trial 11. TPN Campus Incarnate Trial 12. Minds of Mayhem Incarnate Trial 13. New Dark Astoria arcs 14. Dilemma Diabolique Incarnate Trial 15. Who Will Die? arcs (not relevant to Praetoria but are the reason why Statesman stops showing up on the radio during Incarnate Trials, but comes after Dilemma Diabolique as Sister Psyche shows up as a hostage in the Trial) 16. Night Ward arcs 17. Belladonna Vetrano arcs 18. Magisterium Incarnate Trial [Praetoria is in ruins after Tyrant loses control and Vanguard work to evacuate the remaining Praetorian citizens before Hamidon destroys everything] 19. Pandora's Box arcs (not relevant to Praetoria) 20. Praetoria's Hidden Treasure Villain Tip Mission (Level 30 Villain's lead-in to Mr. G) 21. Provost Marchand (Hero 30+) / Mr. G (Villain 30+) / Sgt. Schorr (Rogue 30-40) / The Major (Vigilante 30-40) arcs (Sgt Schorr's arc doesn't have any Praetorian content in it I think, but The Major's arc does) 22. Number Six arcs

After what he did to Statesman and Glacia, yeah, I will definitely run it just to beat his arse! GJ

Maybe there's a way for other players in the TF to see the popup windows that explain everything that is going on. Like, if leader clicks contact and gets a mission popup, we could have a button "share" that when clicked by leader, all in group get the same popup. That way others can just close the window if they already read it or just choose not to. Just an idea.

At first I thought you were serious about the only brawl. But yeah, dual boxing ruined it. I would love to hear about a new character where you only use Brawl and don't rely on dual boxing to level up. That would be amazing.

Very cool. I guess I've come across the bad ones. I'll take a look at forum section and spend more time trying them out. Thanks for the tips.

I read that just for us on Homecoming, if you have the "forward" key pressed (whether arrow or W or whatever) and then press SHIFT while flying, that it will auto cycle through the 4 poses. Is this true? Because I try to stay away from addons and macros and all that extra.

Ok so those who que for a run solo and unlocked will get put on a team if they have it unlocked and space for new team members before it starts. Very cool. I appreciate all the responses. I know a lot is on the wiki but it's always good to get clarification from other players. That answered all my questions. So if anyone wants to use this to talk about LFG and other things, feel free to do so. If not, then this can be closed. Thanks again.

Welcome back!

We can still have that. Just 20 player villains and 20 player heroes would be a jam packed pvp zone full of great fun. We can definitely do that. Just gotta pick a day and time and everyone go meet up for an hour.

Statesman died. I know, it's sad. He was such an awesome character. You can interact with him in certain missions which is cool, but it's part of Ouroboros content.

I need to find at least 5-10 players who can play villains and 5-10 to play heroes, so we can run Arena matches and pvp zones at least once per week for one hour. I know it's not a lot to ask for but it would be a huge help. If anyone plays on Excelsior and wants to PVP a bit, msg me ingame on @Xalon (global) or XalonMG (hero) or Xalon (villain) Or if you know of any times/days when there will definitely be some people in a pvp zone or running arenas, that would be amazing!! Thanks so much!

Welcome back! CoH is better than ever! Other than earning a bit more xp that we did on live, everything is the same - just improved. Lower cost for things, more options, more content, ongoing updates and new issues, and so much more! Glad to have you with us again! S!
