  1. This is what pineapple eventually leads to: This is what your depraved course of action will cause.
  2. I would have guessed late 30s, personally, but if you've got the numbers for that, @SeraphimKensai, I would be very interested to see our demographics!
  3. True, although I was partially joking with both those suggestions. I much prefer Badges to be rewarded for gameplay and behaviour that is possible in casual playing. The excessive numbers we see in a lot of existing Badges just lead to grinding. Which was -probably- the point when this was a pay-to-play game. Now? That it's free? I -definitely- feel that Badges should be merits to encourage players to do productive things in the game. Further asides away from joking: I'd still like to see reliable Temporary Powers for Hold and Confuse added.
  4. As I recall, it was in the game at or close to the original launch, possibly as a bug. It was removed at some point early-on, but some of us have long memories. Seems one of the Homecoming Devs also remembered the days of having Malaise available, and re-enabled it. Or maybe it was re-enabled on SCoRE, and just inherited to Homecoming. Either way; mismatched as it may look on the backside, I am very happy that it's available!
  5. We were just having a discussion about the different types of magic and how to define it within the game's narrative over in the Roleplay board: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/24999-discussion-kinds-of-magical-characters/ As divinely-created magic rocks are the source of the Coralax, I'mma say Magic. Kinda like Cthulhuian Deep Ones, but prettier.
  6. So, Tray bars can be a bit tricky. Next to the big number on the left are arrows that go left and right. Clicking those changes the number of the Tray. You can have 9 different Trays. In the main Tray panel there is an Arrow and a + sign in the upper-right corner. The Arrow allows you to get up to three rows in the Tray Window; clicking it again at 3 rows will reduce it back down to 1. The + sign opens up the independent Trays. To get rid of one of those, right-click on it and select "Close Tray."

  8. Don't feel bad! https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/23282-im-sorry-scrapper-archetype/ It's the character's fault, not yours!
  9. You may be able to achieve this with DemoRecord editing. Anyone an expert on DemoRecording? We could use your help here!
  10. That's why you buy 3,000 Packs, store the ATOs you want, and sell the rest. No need to muck around with Converters when you have supplies that cover all your new Alts for the next two weeks.

  11. You can search Global Channels in-game. Right-click on your Chat Window, and select "Channel Search" then type either "Torchbearer" or "TB" in and see what pops out. Looks like "Torchbearer TFs" and "TB Bag" are the two most popular, with "Torchbearer Badges" close up behind.
  12. Or, like my spouse and I, intentionally listing at 1 for a reason not listed there.
  13. Would be nice to get the same level of fidelity we can achieve with .costume file edits directly in the game itself.
  14. This doozy of an article explains the intricacies of Exemplaring and Enhancements: https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/Exemplar_Effects_on_Enhancements
  15. This may be better suited for the Bugs or Help Boards, @Burnt Toast. You may get a GM to assist you more readily in there. Since you've already posted in General, though, you can self-flag your own post. This will bring it to the attention of a GM, who then may be able to help you out.
  16. She clearly has good taste. But, yeah. I'm there with you on the choice of words being filtered. I'm from a country where the culture is reversed compared to the u.s. norm of "revel in your violence, but HIDE YOUR SEX!" One might think with the servers in Canada and Germany that the Homecoming Team would feel inclined to follow suit. *shrugs*
  17. I read that "**** his throat" differently too, but it didn't have anything to do with faecal matter. Amusing catch, @mechahamham.
  18. So, I was reading the A.M.A. again for a post about the Battalion, and I found a tidbit which I had forgotten about: "Operative Jenkins is seen several times, working his way up the promotion tree despite his blunders. What was his ultimate fate? "Matt Miller: (Made up) He would eventually lead Arachos, hidden behind a mask, with the help of an international arms dealer who was secretly having an affair with his girlfriend." I notice Matt typed "Arachos" instead of "Arachnos." I like this idea. I REALLY like this idea. Homecoming! I know I usually ask you to be heavily critical of the original Devs' plans for the lore, and to go in a direction which is more uniquely your own . . . But in this? In this one situation? Take it literally and do exactly what Matt Miller typed. Jeremy Jenkins leads an organization called "Arachos," hidden behind a mask, with the help of an international arms dealer who is secretly having an affair with Jenkin's girlfriend. It's sooooooo Jenkins.
  19. *blinks* Wow. An almost two-year necro. ... Cool! I'm happy to hear about more Nomads! (Granted, on Homecoming, I'm pretty much locked on Everlasting. Deeeeeeep roots this time around.)
  20. Not to hijack Tox's thread, but: Welcome Home, @Seen2BeGreen!
  21. OOH! Whoops. I totally misunderstood what was being proposed here. Apologies for that. I see . . . hmm . . . it's a bit of an odd hassle with the way you're proposing, no? I mean, not everyone uses the P2W Vendors, and I'm not sure I fully understand your intent, @Replacement. Maybe instead we could look in to adding an option to "Copy-Overwrite" a costume with a single command or add that to the P2W Vendor? Alternatively, as I posted before I (think I) understood what you were proposing; would you be happy with 5 Costume Slots available as P2W Vendor purchases -in addition to- the existing Costume Slots? Original text: I'm all for additional alternative means to unlocks. The only potential problem, however, is how will this look in the code? As it stands, based on my rudimentary understanding of the costume unlock code, it's "slot agnostic." That is, you can do the costume unlock missions in any order (assuming you meet the level requirements), and it'll just up and unlock the next slot for you. I mean, unless we're adding another 5 costume slots (which, frankly, I am very much FOR as well), and these P2W Costume Slots are in addition to the standard missions, then I see no real problems. Or is that "in addition to, if" rather than "unless?"
  22. https://archive.paragonwiki.com/wiki/The_Battalion "Can you show us any images of what the Battalion were going to look like? "Matt Miller: Sorry, art unreleased has to stay unreleased due to our contracts." As I recall, their motivation is "locate and drain all The Wells" around the . . . galaxy? Universe? Multiverse? I'm not even sure. Based on the A.M.A., it was basically silly escalation guff which you see in most MMOs of the era (and beyond). https://archive.paragonwiki.com/wiki/Lore_AMA "After the Battalion, what was the next "big idea" that was going to come down the road, if you had thought that far ahead? "Matt Miller: The Dimensionless are a race of beings superior to the Wells. Dealing with them once you became a well unto yourself was the next logical step. "Sean McCann(?): One of the ideas was that you kind of “cheat” to defeat Battalion, in essence doing something that should take you being level 50 ++++++++ and doing it at level 50, shattering the source of Battalion. However, this meant that a ton of things that were controlled by Battalion were now freed to do whatever they want, so the threats were unknown but out there, and now it was the responsibility of the players to go out there and handle them." I was so-so interested in the potential of the Battalion as a storytelling medium. Up until the point of seeing what the Legacy/Retail Devs' plans were . . . I do hope the Homecoming Devs subvert the HELL out of those plans.
  23. No, you didn't really post this in the wrong place. General Discussion is certainly the place to discuss it. Your message just helped remind me that the issue has cropped up numerous times in my efforts to roleplay, so I decided to immediately post my request. We can continue to chat about player character collision here.
  24. Boy-howdy are they ever annoying! That's something else I'd put in the Roleplay Wishlist, actually. I'll go do that! https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/16387-tempests-roleplay-suggestion-compendium/page/3/?tab=comments#comment-317913
