The launcher now works just as it did. Just had to be patient. Thanks @Cipher for letting us know about the delay for those not using the HC Launcher yet.

@Lunar Ronin yes. And it's not that simple. We have folks with a wide range of computer specs and capabilities. A heavily modded setup might require extra work to change launchers. This computer somehow has three separate installs all from Homecoming. /City of Heroes, /HC, /Homecoming.. it can be as clear as mud sometimes. @GM Crumpet I did test the new launcher and can use it. Tequila seems to boot me from the game less often.. sooo... whatdayawantmetosay "I am change resistant" 🙂

Ruda, the initial response was not to change launchers. It is definitely an option to switch, which may involve more than folks think in order to have everything work as someone wants. "The patch manifest that unofficial launchers use lags behind our official launcher by a bit, you'll have to either switch to the official launcher or give it a bit of time to update."

Crippling peeps game for the 20th anniversary was not the plan. What matters came from Cipher: " ..give it a bit of time to update. " It's a May celebration. I was all excited to login asap too. I'll save being disappointed for later today, if it doesn't work then..

thanks @Cipher as long as yall are aware, I'm good.

Able to log in and view the server list. When selecting a server the message above appears. Logged in with test manifest, without test manifest, exited restarted, still get message when accessing live servers. Brainstorm however grants access.

Feel, and that is very subjective. For some that is being effective. For others this is survivability while for others it might be control. I am happy taking on a handful of targets with a primarily single target specialist; stunning some, and placating others while dealing with a hard target. I can be the hot knife through butter one target at a time and be pleased, I am happy using fear and slow together, while again working through a group solo or with a team. The whole AoE without consequences steamrolling of huge mobs while racing to acquire the best loot gets repetitive and boring. Your mileage may vary.

fixed it for ya. I'm sure many many folks thank you for what you've done and continue to do.

oh geez

If I remember correctly, this game is not that accessible. The lift to make it accessibility compliant at shutdown was cost prohibitive. The bar may have shifted since.

Happy 20th Anniversary!!

Or at least forces some mitigation choice, like phase shift. With multiple nukers, last one in loses? "Nuke first and nuke hard!" might be some small print addition to my "Don't Mez Me Bro" tee-shirt.

Is this awarded on the anniversary?

@Scarlet Shocker April 28 you say.. 2004?

more tips (which you may already know) a) jumping before using a cone attack can increase the targets in the cone. this can effectively turns cones into AoEs. b) this link is to the character copy to beta server where we can test things out without using in game currency or respecs. https://forums.homecomingservers.com/beta/ Definitely, those expensive sets can be down the road if you find a character you want to invest in. the 20% Slow Resist in the Universal Travel set is easy to get and pretty cheap.

The Common build shown is fine. A goal adding at least common uniques offering +end, +maxhp, scaling resist, and any +rech are likely going to be the biggest difference. I'd agree to overall prioritize ACC DAM and Heal for this character's individual powers. The next level (cost wise) build will do all of this and start to chase Recharge. Don't be hesitant about respecs and tweaking. The level after that, if you really like the character, is to start tackling slow debuffs. This is when a preferred attack chain(s) has been identified and winters start getting sprinkled in for their 10-15% slow resistance with two or three enhancements. Here's a pre accolades/incarnate example that was trying to maximized individual powers AND recharge AND regeneration which then dropped some slots from Tough to try some Slow. Scrapper - Energy Melee - Regeneration.mxd Scrapper - Energy Melee - Regen Slow Prot.mxd

I think I'm gonna stick with 'Gadgets', great name for a new power set.
