Marine X

It has the best outright heal and the Buffs are good, for other Players. It isn't that the set itself is bad, but it does tend to lean heavily into the old Holy Trinity that a lot of games embrace ( Tank, Healer, Damage Dealer ). The problem is that on Defenders especially, it is not got much to help the Character wielding it in a Game that the Holy Trinity is not necessary to succeed in. Solo play for Empathy Defenders can be very painful, and on teams they are in most cases under utilized because of past power creep that has made a dedicated Healer no longer absolutely necessary. People coming to CoX from say WOW or Guild Wars, where a team without a Mage or a Paladin is going to have a rough time assume the same applies here and may end up as Dead Weight on a team. It has needed attention for quite some time and @Vanden has a few good ideas there. In my reasoning though, wouldn't it be easier to change Fortitude itself to an AoE that includes the Caster rather than create a new power? Then give Empathy something new that would make the set interesting, maybe a sort of AoE Sleep or Hold ( Sympathy ), or a solid AoE Debuff ( Ambivalence ), that would allow the player to increase their survivability. It's all just Talk at this point, and seeing what ideas people have, just suggestions you know.

Also keep in mind that the sound mods are Client Side, meaning you can load sound mods for powers that you don't have, but bother you when playing with others that do, such as Foot stomp or Fault. It only affects what you hear, others will still hear the normal audio unless they install the mods.

Understood, I just figured since I can't help cure the disease, might as well try to help treat some of the symptoms.

You might want to load COH Modder as it includes a bunch audio mods courtesy of @Solarverse, if the most offensive sounds to you are among the ones he has modded you can simply load them into the game. This also allows easy install and updating of VidiotsMaps. A link is below to the forum post.

It would be nice if there was an Enhancement Set that could be slotted into Powers that only take Reduced Endurance / Reduced Recharge Enhancements, giving the opportunity for additional Set Bonuses, Procs or Unique Attributes. Almost every Power Set has a power where IO Sets can't be slotted, and so It would be useable by almost everyone.

From Unai Kemen Mission, "Take readings from 3 Dimensions" Missions, this was the 3rd Mission Almost Didn't see these 2 Portals because of the One Way Glass effect of the Bus Stop Waiting Area. This Shot is from behind them toward the street.

Just curious if any one knows how specifically Set Bonus calculations are handled by the Game. Stat has a base value of 100 before set bonuses of 3.75%, 5.00%, 3.75% and 3.75%. Is it base value times the total %? For example: 100 + (100x (3.75% + 5.00% + 3.75% + 3.75%) meaning 100 + (16.25% of 100) meaning an increase from 100 to 116.25. or Is it base value plus each bonus% in the order that they are applied? For example: 100 + (100 x 103.75% =103.75) (103.75 x 105.00% =108.93) (108.93 x 103.75% = 113.02) (113.02 x 103.75% = 117.26) Meaning an increase from 100 to 117.26. I never seem to come up with a total that matches what the Detail shows.

There were actually little bugs running around on the floor of the sewers, tried stomping them with no success, so I posted a Bug Report. (I can't actually recall ever seeing this before).

From the "Defeat Malaise" mission in the Sewers from Maria Jenkins, ick. Fast little buggers. Bug Report Complete.

Still seeing them on my SR/Savage Melee Tank, do not have that combo on a Dominator to check for it.

Since they removed the fact that it used to turn off all your toggles there is only one travel power even worthy of consideration...

Noticed it this morning, thought maybe it was just a glitch, but still down. Not sure if the problem is here or with the Wiki itself but just thought I would mention it. Not sure of the URL to go there directly to test further. Found it, it should be: https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Main_Page not hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki The problem is the Homecoming Forums Link.

I have always thought, when comparing Force Field in COH to Comic Characters with such powers, that in comics they always had a lot more offensive options that just Bubbling themselves and others, Including Force Blasts and Levitation, Just seems it needs something.

Cracks me up every time.

Define Stuck... Also it would help to know your time zone and which Shard you are on.

I know it can be frustrating but if you are certain of the User / Password make sure you haven't: 1) Turned the Caps lock on. 2) Turned the Number Lock off. It sometimes the simplest things that vex us the most.

Have a SR/Savage Melee Tank currently at level 36, I have nothing negative to report, great set and works well with SM, no endurance issues or performance issues, but I haven't been to the Shadow Shard yet to get my pre-ordained spanking at the hands, Eyes of a watcher, can hardly wait. Only Defeat out of 36 levels was obtaining the " Denial of Service " Badge in First Ward, forgot to properly prepare/buff, my bad, but got the badge anyway.

I am gun shy these days. I play at odd hours mostly on Reunion so not a lot of teaming opportunities anyway. When I have, it always ends up being someone who wants to run ahead or speed run, completing mission objectives for me. One person asked if I minded if they joined me, I said okay and invited them, then they asked me to invite a friend of theirs, which I did, and that was who went hog wild in my mission. I was at level 39, they were level 50. They never said a word to me the whole time, just took over and ran off, I texted them, no response. Finished the mission and politely excused myself. Last time I teamed. Every time I consider teaming that pops in my head. That toon is now an Incarnate, did 39-50+ all solo as usual, and have another solo toon to 36. It stinks, but solo the only person who can annoy me is me, and I'm pretty thick skinned, but why join a team and take over without talking to the guy with the star. When I played on Virtue I was always a good Team Tank so I really miss teaming, but the group of people from Live and the few I've played with on HC are not very active anymore. PS ( This person seems to share my schedule on Reunion, see them in looking for group constantly, shame they soured me on them, oh well )

That was it, don't know why I hadn't noticed it before, just ran through the arcs last month, anyway thanks.

It appears the Mini map and the indicator for my character are off by over 400 yds. In the screenshot I am standing by Marcus Valerius, with the Depths of TIme badge in front of him. I can visually travel fine, and where the map marker shows the badge is correct, but all the contacts are misplaced, and I dropped a thumbtack on the map and it appears 402 yds away. Don't know if it's already been reported but don't recall this the last time I did the zone contacts. Waypoints for missions are correct if you follow them but display on map is also off.

I have to admit that I really only hate Sappers because they deserve it, especially the ones who hover out of sight when you survey a room, one trick ponies, but a hell of a trick. I also do not miss Void Hunters and Cysts showing up when a Kheldian is on the team at all, they were sneaky little pricks, yes they were. Favorites: Freakshow and Primal Clockwork: They are great to fight for someone who primarily plays Melee Characters. Nemesis: Large tight groups of cannon fodder just begging to be put down. Least Favorites: Cabal and Sky Raiders: the whole run at you till you target them, then move out of range so you have to reselect targets is tedious to say the least. Praetorian Clockwork: refuse to enter Melee even when taunted, tiresome and felt like they should have been more challenging, but they weren't.

Actually have a Rad Armor/Rad Melee Tank I got to 21 on Everlasting and then quit playing because I just didn't like having all the effects around him. Just too busy, made my eyes tired just watching it, and well, it's a lot going on for toggle powers you have to keep running all the time. If it was on an attack I could deal with it probably.

Something that might be worth looking into would be setting up a VPN. I have seen it solve problems, in the past, for people who have connection issues with Homecoming. Detroit was a black hole for many until they were able to get around it. It may let you improve your connection to the servers by creating an optimum pathway from where you are to the Servers. Not an entry level project unfortunately, but there are a few Free or low Cost VPN products out there if you wish to try. Good Hunting.

I understand some Bartenders prefer being referred to as a Mixologist, but I think this may be a bit much, the formulas for their Signature Cocktails may be a closely guarded Secret, but the place hardly qualifies as a Lab.

The only things I can put out there is it would be interesting to find out what the population would be like if it were available, and that NCSoft tried an Asian Shard and shut it down almost in Beta. Several Hero NPCs were imported from " City of Hero ", ( Korean Version ), including Mirror Spirit and Foreshadow. It never flew do to lack of interest from the Asian Market, I doubt it would fare any better now. City of Heroes Korean Launch Promo I agree with what several others have mentioned, that plopping a server in NCSofts Backyard may bring a very negative reaction, don't wake the sleeping bear.
