Thank you all for the very thoughtful responses. Cheers. Not part of a RP Superteam yet - but hopeful I am indeed one of those 'limited OCD types' that wants / desires to be lore aligned. 😎 Not everyone's cup of tea but players enjoy the game for its many aspects - and some are more important than others to various players 🙂 I envision the Nomadic Virtea as being the 'equivalent' of an Atlantean Nation / People / Culture etc. Dominated by the more aggressive and organized Coralax - I am going to assume the odd Nomadic Virtea makes their way to the surface to understand the 'goings on'. The sort of 'ambivalent' status of the Virtea make me 'suspect' that perhaps some of the artistic designers had an Atlantean in mind... but that is supposition on my part. Nomad Virtea (Sentinel) made his appearance a couple days ago !

Hey that may be posted outside my residence all too soon 🙂

Membership in the AARP-G is free for all payers aged 50 + 🙂 Sadly we cannot offer any discounts (ie 10% endurance) nor bonus with your purchase at merchants or the auction house

* Disclaimer - almost 60 and seemingly blind as a bat. Need a Bat themed Character 🙂 --- We the AARP-G - Advanced Aged Regular Players and Gamers - hereby petition the 'powers that are" to: - cease using Brown "Shineys" in outdoors especially near bare hillsides and brown / dark grey building - despite Vidiot Maps - we ask you consider making plaques White - Increase the magnitude of shine on "indoor desks and computers" The very special photo electric cell hidden in the game engine that determines how much sun light / pot lights are shining on my computer screen is challenging my sanity 🙂

This is also very informative though I fully admit its also a learning curve. Thank goodness for respec / You Tube ( ** Wendy you are awesome) / and really good advice from experienced players.

Thank you I am too new to understand the changes over the year(s) however its a nice summary briefing even for new players.

Which further emphasizes the non sense of "Toxic Positivity" - say what you mean - don't twist words to infer something. Stand up to critic - if you intend to critic others. - to be un-rationally happy and over optimistic in all situations can be: (i) Naïve (ii) Stupidity (iii) Censoring (iv) Perhaps overly amorous about something new / shinny / exciting - but is never (a) Poisonous (b) Poisonous to the effect of lethality (c) Transferrably poisonous. - You cannot 'infect' someone else with Happiness nor can you enforce it nor can you poison someone with happiness (though you can alienate them) If the author means "some folks" "or all of the folks" are TOXIC in any way - just come out and say "they have an unwritten code of conduct which condemns free speech and criticism and they persecute you if you disagree." "a bit of this toxic positivity – or at least something near enough – out of the folks who get behind City of Heroes: Homecoming quite a bit." If I come across as "a howling dog because I got smacked" you can always just put me on ignore...I wont be able to poison you.. because this thread offers proof different opinions are freely expressed. 🙂

Thanks - this is also very valuable advice Which is why I was very specifically focused on the Math of the Adrenal Set of 3 ! 🙂 I can slot them in early 20's or 25 as they anecdotally are very affordable recipe or token wise ( tho I have rarely seen them as tokens ) I can boost them as much as I can afford / choose given the cost of Booster vis a vis other priotities They act as a set with some 'respectable' general property bonus - even if unaffected by boost I will likely only have 3 slots in Stamina for 'a majority / number of my heroes. Now for the math analysis on "boost verses craft new at say levels 35 - 45 while I save up for the 'end game' I plan. 🙂

Hail all: I apologize in advance if this has been debated to death - I did not see the post in a search specific to this server. Is there a consensus or policy about Aquatic Super Humans ( especially Role Play ) for the Everlasting Server i.e. Atlantis ( or similar ) origin ? -- 1) The Canon Time Line (Homecoming Wiki) makes NO mention of an Atlantis - even though it dates back to antiquity. 2) Variously I have seen comments that state "the original devs said Atlantis does not exist in CoH / CoV"... however it is vague and does not reference an official article / announcement / way back web page / etc 3) There is a long Thread dated JUNE 5 2021 - General Forums - started by Heroestoday1 - where Atlantis is discussed with various bits of advice like "ignore the devs' or 'use alternate dimension' 4) We have access to Water power set 5) Some of the best / worst / greatest portrayals / worst portrayals of comic heroes and villain's come from Atlantis. Of course I refer to Namor the Submariner ( TM Marvel) and Arthur Curry Aquaman (TM DC) who have been beloved and abused by many writers over the years, Further their extended allies and rogues gallery ... etc Just curious about a build I would have / might make. However I always prefer to be Lore consistent in the Hero details and I lean to RP.

It'll be level 20 values even if attuned and you being level 50. That was the very specific clarification I was seeking ... Thank you so much ! That will save a lot of Merit / INF / Heartache 🙂

Thank you Yes Enhancements - brain fog. However that wiki - which I did read - does not answer the specific question about Enhancement SETS. Do the "Attuned Sets" act like "boosted sets" in so far that they will scale with level BUT the global benefits do not improve..

Hail Friends Cannot find the 'very specific' answer in the guides nor wiki. Perhaps I missed it or I am blind 🙂 The question is targeted at the lower end of the Enchantment Sets i.e. those that are primarily targeted from 10 - 20 or 15 - 30 type of thing. The Enchantment Booster (wiki article) very clearly states it will increase the effectiveness of the 'token' property but not the "global effects". That is the Adrenal Defense token which caps at 20 ( if my memory serves me correctly ) can be boosted up to 5 times and effectively work as well as i.e. a level 40 something token. However the global effects such as regeneration / recovery remain unaffected at the set maximum. Fine - got it ! However does the Enchantment Attuner work the same way ? Will an Attuned "token" grow with my Character Level all the way to Level 50 despite the cap at say Level 20 ? More specifically will the token boost in line with experience - understanding the global effects will likely remain unchanged ? Or will the Attuned Token still cap at Level 20 ?? This is not made perfectly clear - or at least I missed it. Disclaimer: 1) Yes I understand attuning a token given the merit cost is not economically sound... as a general rule. 2) However in the above example - Adrenal Adjustment 'set of 3" capping at 20 might be an exception to the rule in that : (1) I am likely to only put 3 slots in Stamina (ii) it is therefore a full set in stamina and (iii) Recovery at 1% Health by 1.125% is probably good enough for levels 20 till X (mid 30s) until I can afford better and finalize my choices (Luck of the G etc etc etc). Boosting or even Attuning it may be worthwhile as a mid levels strategy ??!!

Thank you ! That is indeed occurring as well ! My post was merely my middle aged attempt at pure humor 🙂

Hmmmm... let me recap as a new player. A "free game" with a Free Download. No Micro Transactions or subscription fees. Very modest fundraising goals to essentially keep the servers running. No CEO-level Salaries are supported at these levels. Slow but incremental improvements with no 'digital content' purchases required. For a game that is 'beloved' by many hundreds or thousands who were very very disappointed to see it end circa 2014. For a game that is beloved by many many new players who enjoy the opportunity. And of course a large dose of gratitude towards the persons who made it happen from the people who enjoy and love the game. -- This is deemed "Toxic Positivity" ? George Carlan (Comedian - deceased) often mocked such stupid inane usage of the English Language... and in this example we have such a perfect asinine misuse. If the BLOG/E-mag author did not / does not enjoy the : (i) game (ii) forums (iii) Discord ... fine you are entitled to your opinion. I do enjoy it and obviously many others do. -- If you don't enjoy any one or all aspects - say it plainly.... "I don't like what I think is forced rules of conduct praising the game / server / devs" Then go away because you obviously do not enjoy it and leave it to those of us that do. Perhaps you like Conan or Warcraft. Well don't worry you will not see me there because their culture and rules of conduct.

INF ebbs and flows - at least for me - through all the missions. The offer is very generous thanks... however I am 'a little OCD' determined to learn the lore / tactics / mechanics of the game. I am at heart a slower methodical player and I fully realize my builds are sub optimal. However the satisfaction is in the journey. 🙂
