GM Tempest

Please maintain civility. I've had to hide a number of posts here. Please remember this is for feedback, arguments are not necessary and conflict is not constructive.

Please keep it civil!

We need a Jimmy patron power - its top power would be 'The Foorls', which drops targeted NPCs through the floors and instakills them. These all look awesome, though!

Remember to keep it civil, everyone! Thank you for contributing to the discussions, though. We do read over a lot of these and are absolutely aware of some of the more...frustrating aspects of the older missions (and even some of the newer). City of Heroes was released back in 2004, which is a HECKIN' long time ago as far as I'm concerned! As such we're bound to have some elements in the game that are legacy, and haven't received a polish in quite some time. We are certainly working on getting those elements buffed and shined up to a better state, but...well, the game is quite large! There's a lot to do! I, for one, never really enjoyed escort missions or 'stop X from escaping!' all that much either, but then I played Defenders and Masterminds all the time so my ability to lock things down was severely limited! Thank you for the feedback, though might I suggestion the Suggestions & Feedback forum next time? It might be better suited towards such discussions.

Be civil.

Please be civil with one another.

Updated the list with a few I liked!

Hello, everyone! I wanted to start by saying that this list is not a complete accounting of all the suggestions in this forum, this is an effort on my part to curate some suggestions given to me in other forms and formats, and to promote neat ideas that players (and even staff!) have come up with that are a bit within my purview as a rep for the Roleplay community. If you have roleplay suggestions that you think might not warrant an entire forum post, you might drop them here, or if you think it’d be something you’d like me to take a peek at, too! I’ll be checking in occasionally and adding things to the list as we go, so keep an eye on this thread if you want to see what’s been added! I’ll add personal notes of my thoughts on the suggestions, underneath each. Please note that anything shown or not shown here does not mean it will or will not be considered – these are merely ones I am observing myself! The list so far! Trigger invasion events for player-run events This is an interesting concept – this would largely be just activating an otherwise ‘random’ or timed event at a time when a roleplay event is being run by a group to coincide with whatever storyline they have going at the time! Pull league groups into an AE map This one surprised me! I hadn’t considered the implications here, but right now you have issues getting league-size people into an AE map, and largely the suggestion revolved around group RPs that have large numbers of players using a large map, like the Ruined Atlas map for group combat RP and the like. Narrate for AE arc RPs This one can technically be accomplished by the story leads at the time using team chat/local chat with something like [Positron]: Blah, but it’s a neat concept if they want to see the actual NPCs chat a bit. New invasions/redo old invasions This one somewhat applies outside of the RP community too, and ties into the suggestion above – people liked some of the old invasions or want to see ones triggered more often for specific things. Events and the like that were hosted on live but haven’t shown back up since. I like it! Larger descriptions The current description limit of 1023 characters is quite a bit limiting, so seeing it expanded to allow for larger descriptions with more detail would be just a generally nice quality-of-life change that would let people be more creative and descriptive with their character’s bio! Bio editor bug fixing There are some issues with the bio editor at the moment, a bug-fix sweep would be quite welcome. GM line drop/appearance at player events This one would be fun! This would be, for example, a story event being run by players where a hero/villain might show up and say a few lines, sass some people, or generally appear for the sake of the story to enhance it. It could be a lot of fun! Weekly-change/etc callouts and chatter by quest giver NPCs This one surprised me as well – I genuinely hadn’t thought of this! As our weekly targets change, a GM could call out as that character in LFG and other methods to seek help from willing heroes/villains, as well as chat with players as they collect the mission from the quest giver! They could congratulate successful teams, offer advice, and generally breathe some life into the existing story arcs by providing input from their spot. Add a Bouncer role to SGs to boot people out of a base With public SG bases come people who are going to try to cause trouble. With that in mind, giving SGs the ability to boot people out who are causing problems would be nice, as the only other option right now is to completely kick out everyone, rather than selectively. This would be a good quality-of-life enhancement for everyone, not just roleplayers! Add an option for variable chat range When you start roleplaying in places like Pocket D or in big SG bases, it can quickly become very hard to keep track of who you're talking to because of how wide the /local range is. Perhaps an option to reduce local range? Or another /whatever option to speak/emote in shorter range like whisper? Dicerolling! Because why not? /rollxdx would be nice.

Please avoid getting too heated, folks, this isn't a Fire farm.

Please be civil.

Please note that charging Real World Money for anything ingame is a violation of our CoC (seen here, section 6 under Conduct Guidelines) and will result in a ban for the offending account(s).

Champions Online obviously did this first, but the concept is a neat one. I've always liked the idea of having your nemesis grow in strength and power as you do! It's something neat to think about, at least.

We have not, nor will we ever charge to play this game.

Those would be removed as well, as they violate our CoC.

Please be civil with one another.

Behave.

This thread has derailed too much. I am locking it. If you want to discuss this, it needs to be done without anyone resorting to ad hominem. Please be civil to one another.

Stay on topic or I will be removing the offending posts and warning the person going off topic.

Please maintain civility, or I will maintain it for you.

Civility. Keep it. Last warning.

Keep it civil, people.

I will be monitoring this topic more closely. Any further...deviations like this and I will be purging replies again.

If you had any experience in PR, you would know that us saying "I have X years of experience in X" without anything behind that is just hot air. I could claim I have 50 years of experience with...I don't know, corporate management? It would just be a baseless claim that no one could prove or disprove. It nets us nothing beneficial, and as others have mentioned, could aid in doxxing attempts. You, by the way, insinuating you could find us is just a lovely way to try to be convincing. Lastly, you are not asking questions that haven't been asked (and answered to the best of our ability) before. You are just refusing to accept our answers. We cannot tell you everything you want to know for various reasons including many of our team wanting to protect themselves from elements that have tried to dox them. You are accomplishing nothing beneficial here at all by continuing this way.

Something something people want the D. In other news, I would say that we, the Homecoming team, do love this game. We sincerely do. None of us would have volunteered to do what we do if we didn't. While I know that more details would be liked, we wanted to give people a chance to know what we were doing, that talks were ongoing, and we do want to keep you as informed as possible. It can be frustrating, I know, but thank you all for the patience you've had so far. We'll keep working on it, and you keep killing Skuls! More to come Soon™.

Hello, everyone! We've had a lot of people asking us about streaming the game over the last few months. Given our current circumstances and desire to turn Homecoming into a legal, above-board operation, we cannot at this time endorse anyone streaming the game as it violates the ToS of various streaming platforms. Once our talks with NCSoft are complete there should be no issue with streaming the game again. Have a good week, and keep being awesome!
