Please read the previous post. All it needs to work is for enough knowledgeable players to join it and people needing help to be aware it is available. I think it would help lighten the load on the Homecoming GMs, especially on holidays and busy times when resources are stretched thin.

It has been tested and confirmed that if you are a Member, as in, Chose to join the channel, "Global Help", you will see chat from anyone who joins regardless of the shard they are on or you are on. Also you only need to join on one Character per Global, all characters under that Global Handle are then part of the channel.

I'm sure I'm not the only one to have at least 1 50+ on every shard, and since I spend most of my time on low population shards I'm usually available to help if need be. In that, I also imagine I'm not alone. Started on Halcyon before it was renamed Reunion and moved to Germany. I'm in Ohio, USA and most of my playtime is early mornings, 4;00-6:00am on weekdays so it's pretty quiet there. Weekends are a mixed bag as to when I play. My first screen of Characters on Reunion are all 50s, and I've naturally leveled up at least 1 everywhere else just so I could be available elsewhere if the need arose. The Global Help channel will allow me to do that, if anyone bothers joining it that is.

Chat Channel " Global Help " already exists for anyone interested. You simply have to join it to use it.

Are you using the Game Account Name listed in the Game Account Menu? Is it possible that your Caps Lock is on? Is there a O or 0, or I or 1 in the Name that could be the issue?

I'm not sure I understand your point. The channel is one you would have to ENABLE to view it, not disable to avoid. If it's not something you want to view you won't have to do a thing. The biggest issue is the people who it would benefit most probably lack the know how to add the tab anyway.

Just wondering if the 2500 member limit for user created Chat Channels is an adjustable thing or an absolute limit, as it could be reached fairly easily since it is available to anyone on any Shard both to help and be helped. Anything that could be resolved on this Channel would be one less thing the actual GMs have to deal with.

Thanks for the Info, I'll take a look and see what I can get going.

I don't see how adding 1 extra slot at vet level 100 is going to be game breaking or create Steamrolling Death Machines, I have no problem with this Idea and agree it would be a nice way to commemorate that level of commitment to your character. Only question, How would this slot be treated when Exempared? I think it would probably be disabled doing any content below 47.

I don't know if it is possible but was just thinking it would be nice for players on lower population Shards to have a Global Help Channel. It would be available as a Tab option only if you chose to add it but would allow Players needing help, whether with a Mission or just a question to make a Post that would not be limited to their shard and would be visible to anyone who chose to add the channel to their chat. I have level 50 characters on every shard and would be willing to lend a hand if needed, as I am sure many others would, but currently there is no way to communicate between shards except by a direct global message. This would allow that. As stated, it would be completely optional. I know maintenance and donation messages appear to be capable of this, so I'm thinking it should be possible. Let me know what you think.

Sounds as if you are using something other than the Homecoming Launcher to access the game. If it is Tequilla, the Manifest updates when updates drop, such as today for the April Fools event, are not instantly available as they are for the HC Launcher. I would suggest downloading it now as they have already stated that Tequilla is not going to be supported much longer. The HC Laucher can be installed at the following link: Getting Started - Homecoming

If this is your original forum account, just go to the Game Account tab at the top of this page, and select Game Account from the List, your Game User name will be displayed and it will let you change the Game Account password. Forum Account and Game Account are two separate things. If this is not your original forum account, you will need to start a support ticket. Please include the Email Address you used to sign up, and any other info you can recall such as your Global handle, Character Names, etc.

In Shadow Shard, Firebase Zulu, Point Sierra, odd floating Plant.

Had same thing happen on same map but different mission back in early February.

Have had this happen several times, not sure if it is an artifact from a listed item or just a glitch, but always is a 1 for me. Logging out and back into toon does not clear it but quitting to desktop does, not sure what it is.
