Never put Fly and Walk next to each other in Tray. Jump off Bridge in Skyway City, click to activate Fly, hit Walk instead, land in Middle of Supa Troll Mob at Rave, d e a d.

I actually have been playing my latest Character with the Camera Lock disengaged, so he can turn freely in the camera view unless I assume control, It is kind of interesting to see some of the attacks from the front and side at times instead of only the over the shoulder view. It also removes the hard background swings as the Camera would normally follow his turns from behind but he now simply turns in frame, I kinda like seeing more different angles of the action.

As I have humbly found out, even seasoned players may miss stuff, I find new things out all the time. Newer players it's probably a lot to take on. Example: " You have no Knockback protection, Did you know that if you slotted a Blessing of the Zephur Knockback Protection in a travel power it would give you 4 Points of protection? " ( I never knew about this till Homecoming as I played Tanks whose primary often provides Knockback Protection, or that you could enter City Hall from the back door, not hard to miss little things here and there ) Maybe you wouldn't even need it to be interactive, maybe just a NPC set up with Dialogue of often missed tweaks to get around common problems, that only speaks when someone is near them.

Character: Sgt Wolffe ( Level 18, SR/Savage Tank, Reunion ) Contact: Warren Trudeau Mission: Arrest all Soldiers in Warehouse, Look for escape plan ( 1 hour timed ) Contact informs you to be sure to prevent Eric Rosen from escaping. Well about halfway thru the Mission Eric Rosen comes trotting into the room I am in, opens an Overhead Door ( ??? ) and then turns and runs for the mission door. I run him down and attack, he responds with some Grenades then turns, runs thru a stack of Cargo Containers and off the exposed map, I ran for the exit, rounded a corner and saw him come out of the wall running. Was able to finally defeat him, but what on Earth was that? The angle that he ran off the map at matches up with where he reappeared, probably the NPC pathway grid under the mission map has some sort of issue. If not, I want his powerset as a pool power, please.

Once you get Monitor Duty Transporter ( to base ) it's easy to make this the solution to a lot of issues. Your Base can have a Vendor, Trainer, Icon Rep, Merit Terminal, Rez Platform, Auto Doc, Inspiration Storage, Salvage and Enhancement storage, Crafting and even a Pillar of Ice and Flame ( for Ouroboros flashback missions ). And if you exit thru the Base Portal it puts you right back where you were when you used MDT. Pretty slick and easy.

Just a note, since @The Philotic Knight added Vidiots Maps as a mod that's install can be handled by COH Modder there has seemed to be a huge decrease in issues installing it. Both are available through the "Tools, Utilities & Downloads" Section of the forums, and the instructions are very easy to follow.

We could spend a lot of time explaining the changes to the Auction System, but to put it in simple terms Homecoming's Dev Team seeds the Market as needed and converts items to generic within the system. This was done initially during the SCoRE years to overcome low server population. If you sell a Rare Salvage item it can be purchased by another player as any piece of salvage of the same Rarity. Enhancements are handled as if all enhancements of a certain variety are in one big bucket, if you sell a Crafted Enhancement, it can then be purchased as that enhancement, or it's Attuned Version, for the same price. If you have not, take a good look at what is available at P2W Vendor in Atlas Plaza, lots of stuff there for the taking, and some for purchase. If you scroll down the enhancement list at any Enhancement Store or Vendor you will discover that Single Origin Enhancements are available now at level 10? When leveling keep in mind Travel Powers are now available at level 4. Lots of changes. If you collect all the badges in a single zone you earn the Accolade for that Zone and the Fast Travel Accolade Power. After that, collecting a single exploration badge in a zone will grant you Fast Travel to that Zone. Good Hunting.

About that by the way, why are almost half of the NPC mission allies we see in the early part of Blue Side content, Energy Blasters ( or something else ) with unregulated Knockback? It's because the original Devs loved us, and knew what we truly wanted....those guys....man, I'm tearing up.

On the other side of the Brain fart I mentioned above, about half the time while doing the Faultline missions, " investigate hero bases ", in a Arachnos Disguise, I forget that I need to turn off my Taunt Auras or they will see through my disguise and attack anyway. Only missions with a disguise I recall that leaves your power sets in place, and I still find a way to screw it up, lol. It is actually weird seeing a Crab Spider doing animations for some of the Melee Sets.

Almost always miss that after any of the personal story or disguise missions, that you are left afterward with all toggles off, has been unpleasant on many an occasion.

The Hero/Villain or Praetorian options are actually the first choice you get when creating a character, if you choose City of Heroes Freedom, then you choose sides during the Galaxy City tutorial, if you choose not to run the tutorial it will then let you select Hero or Villain. If you choose Going Rogue you will begin in Praetoria. Your actions and choices in the tutorial decide your path unless as @Hartanna said, you are a Kheldian, which are always started as Heroes or Arachnos Soldier or Widow which begin as Villains.

My Boss constantly volunteers me for Missions that he has no idea how to complete, earning me the " It'll be a piece of Cake" badge, and furthering my progress toward the infamous " Here, Hold my Beer..." badge. I have Mastered all the Debt badges but have no Illusions of ever getting the ones at the opposite end of that particular spectrum. I got another recently, not the " You should see the other Guy " badge rather the " I am the other Guy " badge. I have no idea why, but at level 1 I was awarded the " Darwin Laughs " badge, I have no idea what that was about. Well hopefully the rewards will keep coming now that I've passed Veteran Level 58, but not holding my breath, unless there's a badge for that, I'll have to check.

At the top of this screen you will find a tab for "Account", if you click that, then "Game Account", you can reset the Game Log In, if you don't have the password for the Forum Account attached to said Game Account, a ticket is your only recourse. You will need at least the Forum Handle and Email you used to set up the account to request a reset of the forum account.

I would file a support ticket regarding this issue, If you have a main and second account, each will have a separate forum account through which you can manage the Game Account, be certain you are logged into the correct one when you attempt to reset the password. It should be a simple matter from the main forum screen to click the account tab and edit the Game Account password, if not something else may be going on. Good Luck.

I was soloing during all of the Dark Astoria content, so who knows why it didn't award. The description appeared in Badges "Closest to Completion" but didn't award after the 2nd rescue. No idea why. Fixed by rerunning them.

Almost leans this toward being a Pact between the Hellions and the Skulls yielding a New Group much more powerful than ALL of their separate Parts. ( This would also easily bring in the Dark Energy powers of the Bone Daddies and Death Dolls, etc )

...Or my Wife in the Morning without Coffee....trust me, not good.

Is this your initial install or has it worked before? If new to the game I highly recommend using the Homecoming Launcher as it is made just for Homecoming and fully supported. You also may need to make sure you have OpenGL installed and the proper .Net Framework, this game needs those because of its age. All the details are available in the Homecoming Launcher section of the forums,

Money Well Spent.

Running Heather Townsend's and the Dream Doctor's ARCs through Ouroboros, rescuing him in HT's mission 2 and Activating his TP in DD's mission 6, awarded me both the "Buddy Cop" and "Destroyer of Despair" Badges. I am certain I did both when I originally ran them, but it's fixed now, NEXT...

Gotcha, just noticed you only mentioned Maria Jenkins missions.

Already checked and it's listed in Achievements as in progress but did not award when I completed the 2nd encounter and then completed the ARC, there are so many badges in that ARC i didn't notice at the time it failed to award. Rerunning all the DA content to get a Badge I have already earned, not sure I'm up for that. I wonder if I can just run Heather Townsend and then run Dream Doctor? That wouldn't be so repetitive as I just finished it a week or so ago.

I have a Dell Inspiron Gaming PC that has been absolutely perfect from day one and is still working great today after years of use, Inspiron 5675, Ryzen 3 1200 quad Core, 16 gig Ram (32), 2 Gb AMD Radeon RX560 with a 2 TB hard drive and very little Bloatware. It was $749.99 new about 4 years ago, I got more than I paid for. All that aside, Alienware has been on a steady decline ever since Dell acquired them and it only gets worse. At $5000.00, they did not get what they paid for, period.

When I went through the Dark Astoria Arcs I was extremely careful to make sure I did what was required for all of the badges for DoD. Just realized it didn't award. I rescued Hopp in Heather's Mission and later activated his TP in the Dream Doctor's mission but didn't notice that the badge didn't award till now. Is there any way, other than completely rerunning all the DA Arcs to get the Buddy Cop Badge?

If you look under badges, accolades, then scan down the list and find Defeat all 14 Praetorian Villains, what does it show? I know that Anti-Matter is not available through Maria and is in the Tina MacIntire arc, but the first one where he teleports away does not count since it is a self defeat. That could be what's holding you up.
