Oubliette_Red

Thanks for mentioning @Tellos' catalog, some of the file names can be rather long making it difficult discern one from the other. :) @Tellos there seems to be an issue with the links for Blaster Elec/Elec and Elec/Energy And thanks for the spreadsheet!

Done.

This is what I came up with: You can replace the ball cap with ponytail or spiked hair style which I think also give a "speedy" look. Quickfoot.costume

To validate, in the launcher click on the 3 dots ( ... ) at the lower-right corner of the 'Homecoming' button and select 'Verify' from the popup menu.

Welcome back to the game @Zelebra! Always good to see returning players. :) Incarnates - In general, I believe farmers and Incarnates will be separate things. I don't do it myself because I find it particularly boring but AE farming is still a thing and most will build a character to maximize gain in the farm since the created mobs will be very specific, doing so would not equal a good Incarnate build as iTrials will have a much wider range of foes to deal with. Other will be able to better speak about this. Missions - The only way to learn is to go out and do. Skipping content by PL'ing your character is not going to learn you much in the way of forming/leading teams/leagues. Joining other teams, especially regularly run TF's/SF's like Torch's SNS (Saturday Night Synapse) and following (and taking note of) the instructions of the League leader is a good way to learn how to be a good leader yourself. Leveling - See missions. Badging - Install VidiotMaps for things like exploration badges and plaques, install popmenus for keeping track of everything badge related. There are threads for both and a dedicated Badging section in the forums. SG's - Check the server sections in the forums as well as on Discord for SG's offering invites. Personally, I'd recommend teaming with folks first to find a like-minded group of people before just jumping into any SG. Go. Hunt. Kill Skuls.

I'm weird, I never had an issue with the old, staple caves or the cake room. I particularly like the one with the over-under switchback way down in the SW corner. The first cave I stepped into when I started playing CoH, I thought "This is so like Morrowind!" a game I played the ever-loving she-it out of. It actually took me a couple of weeks of playing to get out of the habit of avoiding puddles and pools in the caves because I didn't want any nearby mobs to hear me.

I also do not understand the change behind this and as I was reading off the patch notes to a friend in Discord, the first thing I said was "There are going to be posts about this." As someone who just finished an all-arc Betrayal run through Praetoria having to toggle XP on/off is a major pita. It's an undarstandable necessity when doing an all-arc run, but the fact that you have to toggle XP when just doing a normal run through Praetoria is a major annoyance, stack Patrol XP on top of that? As suggested by @megaericzero I think a toggle for Patrol XP in S.T.A.R.T. would be handy.

I tried creating a Praetorian and my window colour defaulted to red. I have a couple of characters with gold window colours, not sure if they are the correct gold but the hex is: #e7b11d

Back Alley Brawler... I think he should be behind City Hall. There are steps, a plaza, even doors that let you in.

Nuh uh.

I can just image folks watching the green dots...

We do.

Yep, need to stagger the teams exiting that second to last mission, then hunt down their Babbage and herd them to the southern Skyway crossroads. Too many teams exiting at the same time and the system gets a bit confuzzled and you'll end up with only 1 Babbage where you were expecting 3.

I figure, if we could survive the game being down for 10 years, we can survive this.

I have so many books that I started making my own bookmarks. The first one I asked the bead shop owner to make, the second one I made for my sister.

My villains get to see plenty of daylight/clear skies when cleaning up Paragon City streets, the money in the vault is payment for services rendered.

This reminds me of yesterday, some friends and I were running Mender Ramiel's arc to unlock Alpha slot on a character and were ambushed at the front door which we've never had happen before. It was quite refreshing. When I run solo I usually don't bump the difficulty as I typically play support, but when teaming with friends we're almost always bumping level/team size/bosses.

I'm fairly certain that the mobs available in AE are limited to the same range as they are in the game. Creators would just need to create/expand upon the groups themselves. If they were willing to share them then I'm sure folks would be happy.

I actually use the random/previous colour change to my advantage. If by some happy occurrence I manage to get a decent costume but hate the colours, I will just click random->previous and repeat until I hit on colours that work well. It would be nice do have a Undo though, for say when you mis-click and match all you colours, done that more than once and have had to redo work. Granted, I try to save often.

They make perfect cannon fodder and distract the enemy.

To quote a recent post of the subject.

Sucks to be you... ...I mean the whole vamp thing and all. <.< >.>

Otherwise, it's better to look up various build guides down in the Archetype section. https://forums.homecomingservers.com/forum/43-archetypes/

Which are usually temporary.
