JYSK in the box? https://www.jysk.ca/ . . . soooo . . . does that mean Cyborg Ninja Clown Pirate Zombie Geese in SPACE!!!, or Cyborg Ninja Clown Pirate Zombie Furniture in SPACE!!!, @Darmian?

Jimmy (I think) mentioned a couple months back that Page 6 kind of ran away from the team, getting bigger and bigger, and they already cut back everything they felt "just didn't fit." Seems the thing just kept getting bigger anyway, and that's how we ended up with Issue 27, Page 1. I get the impression that the Team doesn't plan for another "big 'un" like this again any time soon.

It's always been named Fort Darwin, but yeah . . . around the same time as the Atlas Park redux during Retail, the Legacy Devs changed up Mercy as well. @Lines just proposed a little something-something related to that in the Suggestions board, actually: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/23515-echo-galaxy-city-and-echo-dark-astoria/?tab=comments#comment-281421

I mean, we could make it interesting . . . Assemble two teams of roughly equivalent power in terms of Damage and Debuffs. Have one team do search-and-destroy kill-all runs, and the other team maximum speed. Have them run Imperius for two and a half hours, non-stop. At the end, ask both teams their tallies on Experience, Inf, Drops, and Merits. Repeat as necessary for scientific rigour.

@GM Tahquitz: According to some sources, the artificial banana flavour we all know and love is actually closer to the original flavour of the breed of bananas that nearly went extinct due to a fungal infection ravaging their farms. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panama_disease https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gros_Michel_banana

Here you go, @MunkiLord; your final boon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZcqaolcjUI

A team of 8 Soldiers of Arachnos (or Widows, whatever). It gets to the point where not everyone needs to have their toggles running because you've all hit Cap on something.

I want to get involved, @Wravis, but I've got to juggle a few geese first. Good luck to everyone who's searching for the 10 duckies . . . the 10 duckies OF DOOM!

Bear in mind that it should automatically be shorter on the harder targets due to Control Status Resistance also being a thing.

It's not only a question of strength, but also cunning and intellect. You could be a wet noodle on the brawn scales so long as your brains can carry you. Ditto for wearing a good suit and running a sly con job.

Cyborg Ninja Clown Pirate Zombies.

Hmm . . . fair point. That would be one of the psychic signature character's duty. Anywhoodles! Thanks to @GM Arcanum and whoever else is involved in this event. It's great to see another new type of event! Variety is the spice of life, and all that. And hey! I actually stand a chance at winning this one! Just to be clear, though: This contest operates on all Shards, correct?

I think she might have something to say about that, @Solarverse, and I doubt it would be "Yes."

WINDMILL SLAM AGREEMENT WITH @Lines FORT DARWIN IDEA! Best use of time travel ever!

Regarding: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/23439-opening-all-the-presents/ Drop everything you're doing and make a Christmas Ninja Event for this winter! Instead of Winter Lords popping out of the presents, have it be ninjas. Ninjas who open presents, with more ninjas inside! . . . wait. This is starting to sound like Clown Summoning . . . . . . NINJA CLOWNS!

A potentially counter to that is to have Overpower also apply a "Grant Power" effect to Archvillain Rank enemies, which grants them additional Status Protection for a few seconds after Overpower wears off. The more Controllers Overpowering a single target at once, the bigger the temporary immunity becomes when the Overpower duration ends.

I will mention, @Jimmy, while I personally like to use the word "queer" in a positive way, last year members of the Pride Global Channel did have a bit of a big discussion on its use. There are (or at least were, at the time) a few players within our community whose personal feelings related to the word were strongly negative. These stemmed from personal experiences of harassment and abuse during their youth, and they strongly felt the word could not be "reclaimed." So; while I'm not personally against it being dropped from the profanity list, I did want to bring the feelings of those other players to your attention. I could attempt to track down the specific chat logs, if you'd like me to. I'll scrub the names accordingly or share it privately, at your discretion.

I'm sorry, but how could the Great White Shark be better than the Perfectly Cromulent White Shark? That doesn't sound cromulent at all! (Nice job on the character's appearance, @Mjolnerd!)

I think if a means of replenishing Day Job Powers without being offline were implemented, it would be less of an issue. Either buying charges with Inf, such as from the P2W Vendors, OR by completing some in-game tasks (mini-games?) to refill charges. But sadly, this isn't the time for an in-depth discussion on improving the Day Job mechanics. We only bring it up because it -is- related to these transit Day Job Powers. So . . . yeah. Improving Day Jobs in general might help address some of the concerns raised with these specific Day Job Powers.

https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/Razzle_Dazzle Razzle Dazzle is normally capped at level 30. Any time you create an Enhancement with the Beta Shard cheats that is outside its normal level range, you can't move or trade it. Oddly, though, you CAN slot it. I discovered this when I ended up making a big ol' pile of level 50 Set IOs which were also normally limited to level 30 a few months back.

I'm interested in providing support, but between scrambling to get the Hallowe'en Trick or Treating Event ( https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/22626-community-project-homecoming-team-appreciation-trick-or-treating/ ) finalized and doing the beta testing, I'm not entirely sure when I would be able to guarantee my presence. I'll try to get some stuff organized, and then I'll post here again when I have a better idea. Good luck! Redside Bestside!

UI Wish List: FIX THE INSPIRATION TRAY BUG, PLEASE! *flails tentacles* https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/10109-reset-inspiration-tray-default-as-closed/ Increase maximum Tray Slots: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/12662-ran-out-of-room-need-more-power-trays/ (and the Respec problem too, as it's somewhat UI-related: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/14927-save-and-load-command-for-power-tray-configuration/ ) Having the option of making the map variably translucent and being able to toggle it as borderless for a map overlay would be delightful. Bonus points if it can be given a toggle for being unclickable too, so I can interact with gameplay that's behind said translucent map. Increased maximum chat tabs (and increased maximum Global Channels). More "Do All" buttons. Such as claiming Character Items from Mail, or moving stacks to the market/storage.

@Jimmy, your point of wanting more diverse feedback is an excellent one and well-received, though . . . I know that there are many players who don't like to directly and actively engage in the feedback process. I do notice some of these players like to utilize the passive in-forum Reputation system though. Are the members of the Homecoming Team actively monitoring feedback posts' "Likes" to see which ones seem to be garnering positive interest? I can imagine that might be a pain in the ass for you folks, but if you've got a way to keep track of it, I think it might be an easier for me to encourage some members of the community I am in contact with to provide feedback that way, at the very least.
