[Ship of Heroes gets a release date!]

 

Ship of Heroes has set a release date for August 18 2025:

https://shipofheroes.com/release-date-for-ship-of-heroes/

 

There was a few teams that started after CoH closed down to make a new heroes game. It took years but one of them has finally delivered.

I think this is the only team that started to develop a heroes game after CoH closed that has actually gotten to a release date with a full game. 

 

Wasn't sure where to put this,just thought a few might be interested

But with a boost to damage and defenses this no longer is the case. You can easily fight larger groups at higher levels with little difficulty. To me, it's a significantly improved play experience that's actually pretty fun.

 

...snip....

 

And yeah I get that not everybody is going to enjoy the same experience. But this goes back to what I've said twice before in this thread, you have the flexibility to build your character however you wish. You don't have to take all the T9s, you don't have to take the best bits from three or four different armor sets. You don't have to necessarily build yourself to be omnipotent if that kind of play doesn't appeal to you.

What an interesting concept, gotta gimp yourself just the right amount......to little and not fun,to much and not fun....you need a balance of sorts.

That sewer map is about the only time I click on my temp power Wedding Band. It gives a really good resistance buff.

Just make damn sure you turn it off when you get to the end of tunnel. It only last 2 hours of usage time but with careful management of when to use it , can have it a long time.

[[OPEN BETA] Patch Notes for July 6th, 2024 - Issue 28: Legacy, Page 1 - Build 1]

Some new high level content?! This may be the most I been excited about an update.

[What do you use for making ceilings?]

I got a little room in the bigger base room to house my NPCs and I would like to put a ceiling on it but nothing I have tried looks right.

The room uses what I call the mansion wood stuff:walls,trim,door,etc.....so the dock platform look terrible on top.

Tried a couple of floor platforms but you see through them inside the room.

So what are some other things I could try? What do you builders use for ceilings?

[Current state of sapping in PVE?]

I also ran a Dr. Kahn TF with an all Electric group a couple months ago.  We didn't have a good spread of debuffs to go with the sapping so it took a while to whittle Reichmann down, but he spent the vast majority of the fight just standing there staring at us. 

 

I guess that shows how crazy this game is, the last Kahn  I did we had 2 sappers and he never let up. Hell, he nuked us with that fist move, having no end that I could see in his bar.

Robics has 4 summons now....hmm,where to bind Maintenance Robot?

[Dark Astoria and Cimerora]

I like the arc for change of pace aspect but the mechanics of getting the whole team to Cim is a problem.

 

My problem is the change of zone. I have run through the DA arcs a few times as team lead and I always had trouble getting everyone to Cim. Some are new 50s working on there incarnates in DA and don't have the badge yet to get in. Sometime the team is mixed alignments and I have had to break teams up and to reassemble in Cim. But ofcourse some won't show for whatever reason and your left trying to decide to wait longer or fill the spot.

 

I doubt it's feasible but would love to see Sister Solaris moved to DA, the actual mission instance doesn't matter where you are I don't think.

 

/rant,

The homecoming unofficial wiki is good for stuff like this and is mostly up to date with current build

Stick to something like a Corruptor/Defender or a Sentinel

 I'm sorry but what? Sents have terrible range compared to blasters and no snipe! Isn't this about playing at range?

It seems incredibly likely that the tooling described by Cipher requires intimate knowledge of CoH's code and database structures, which are (very) likely considered part of the content under negotiation. Thus, until they get the go-ahead, they likely cannot publicly release things so tightly coupled with CoH's engine code. We know there are NDAs involved.

 

Any chance the new relationship with NC can help revitalize this project? 

[How long does that trial take?]

Nice list of times.

I swear it proves that enjoyment or lack there of affects the perceived speed of time,I hate the TPN so that one always seem to take a damn hour when I do it. I know it doesn't take anywhere near that, but I would never had guessed only 20 minutes.

[Update to V3.7.4 will not Open any prior Builds]

Same problem slightly different error popup:

 

 

I know uninstall/reinstall....just thought i would share error message

[20th Anniversary Q&A Responses!]

Absolutely amazing read,thanks so much for taking the time. 

 

 

 

And  oh my,what could have been:

Tim "Black Scorpion" Sweeney:
What powerset would you wish you could add to Homecoming?
Clown Summoning

Quote

John "Protean" Hegner:
What were you planning on adding to the game before shut-down?

Mime Melee and Clown Devices Secondary.
j/k... but maybe there's something there?

 

[Ambient FX question..1 room?]

Thanks, would not have considered size was the problem

where most of it looks like glass or at least partially transparent, and preferably floating in space.

 

Shame we can't replace the floor with sky like we do the ceiling 

[Ambient FX question..1 room?]

Quick question,is it possible to have ambient FX confined to 1 room of base? I used the darkstar barrier in a back room and it's all over the base now.

I didnt do apply room to base type thing either.

[20th Anniversary Costume Contest Results!]

The CosmoSkull took me a few minutes to wrap my head around.

Congrats to all.

[Can we advertise CoH now?]

I'm assuming no one knows those details, and to further assume this is why he asked.

Now I have made an ass of me

there's this Merit Vendor that looks like an ATM, and a crafting bench...well...they just don't look arcane at all. At least not to me. 

A pet peeve of mine as well, I just put both in the entrance room so I don't have look at em unless I have to use em

[Space sky to bright..]

Is it possible to make space sky dark? It is just to damn bright. I missed a couple of updates and wasn't sure if this was ever changed or there was a work around I don't know about.

[City of Heroes 20th Anniversary: Time Capsule Event, Q&A With Original Team, Costume Contests]

Looking forward to the Q&A. That should be interesting

 

Question, is what Luna selling gonna change at all? Any chance of a Carnival  mini? My Marionette scrapper would love to have a friend.

[The Officially Unofficial Weekly Discussion #75: Do you (or have you ever) run teams deliberately that were not 1 or 8 characters and what is your ideal team size?]

I occasionally see someone advertise for a 4 man team, I always try to join no matter what they doing. They are always fun to me. 

When I put together a team most time I will only recruit in lfg once or twice and if only 3 -5 answer that's fine with me.
