Marine X

I did something similar, sorta. My Fiery/Rad Brute ( Sonny Burns ) is not built exclusively for farming, I use him for other content which he does very well. In farms I just wanted +4 x 8 to be a little less hectic, so I logged in Marine X and used him as a follower, he has Tactics and Maneuvers on and then Footstomp on Auto. Great fun and have the difficulty cranked without major issues. Marine is so much more of an Aggro Magnet, it was actually surprisingly easy. I can get thru the map in about 30 minutes without really rushing, I know that's not real fast, but I still have work to do. Sonny's Farm Build ( build 1 ) and his mission build ( build 2 ), are quite different ( mission build is built with Exemplar in mind, sets that work at lower levels ( 17, 20, 24 ) so he can do about anything. Working now on making the Farm build more specific.

Neck costume pieces: Necklaces Dog Tags Bandanas Scarves Amulets

Since my Farmer was leveled normally then respeced he acquired most of them normally. His farm build works pretty well outside AE but I created a #2 build so I could solo all but Manticore of the taskforces for Task Force Commander Accolade. Cost about 200,000,000 Influence ( ouch ), but made Posi 1 at level 15 run pretty smoothly. It is easy to switch active builds and makes normal missions enjoyable. You can switch active builds at any trainer

You may be able to at least view your Character List, and if you have any saved costume files, reload them in the Character Creator. Saving and Loading Issue 13 released a Save and Load option in the costume edit screen, both at character creation and at the tailor. These options allow players to save a character's costume into a Costume File and load it onto another character of the same body type. Restrictions Only costume options that are editable in the tailor screen can be loaded. Height changes and model changes are not allowed. The "load" option is unavailable when: Trying to load an off-model costume like male pieces to a female model. Trying to load a costume file that has illegal costume pieces, such as Statesman's unique faceplate, or typos. You would just need to do a little exploration on your old PC, then copy the files if they exist to your saved costumes folder on Homecoming. Has been a while since I've had a PC with the original game installed,so not much help there, my last one died about 2 years ago, but I was able to document the Character names before it did.

I think the biggest "glitch" with Khalisti Wharf is the inability of Praetorians to go there. They can go to Pocket D so it may be possible. If it is to be used as a gathering place that will probably have to be addressed. It is already in the pool of potential mission locations as I have been assigned door missions there several times. Perhaps some existing contact that is not currently being used could be moved there and assign missions there, maybe something that was removed in a past update but still in the Database. Also, kickable BIG GIANT BALL in the harbor between the Blue and Red sides, perfect place and it has been on the Wishlist since early LIVE.

There is a Instance of something along these lines already in CoH. When you fight to save the Burning Building in Steel Canyon using the Fire Extinguisher backpacks, and defeat X number of Hellion Arsonists. Perhaps the same mechanism could be repurposed for another event.

The old Notoriety System: The difference was when it first came out I didn't realize what it did and failed to read the whole screen. So of course I chose for the City to see me as Invincible, as opposed to Tenacious or Heroic. Took a while before someone asked why I was running with the difficulty cranked up and getting face planted all the time. That explained why everyone was Purple, what a dumbxxx.

Problem corrected itself I guess, Task Force complete, although I had to start the last mission over from the beginning. weird.

Have restarted Launcher. Have rebooted PC. Can log a different Character on same account in and no issues. He ( Sonny Burns ) was soloing Posi 2 Taskforce when disconnected. Reunion Server for Characters that can and can't log in.

Was doing Posi 2 last night and was at the end fighting Vaz and he jumped off the bridge, I followed. Bad Idea. landed in the middle of a Mob. Was so frustrated I just walked away. Got up this morning and went to Hospital, gathered some goodies and headed back to Mission when I got mapserved, I never get mapserved, and disconnected. Now when I log in, it says I am still logging out and kicks me?????????

I have seen a few people I used to play with but not most of the ones I knew well. Used the Wayback Machine ( Web Archive ) to find and link to the Top Credibility Page from the GameAmp City of Heroes site. Lots of names I know there. We had a Supergroup on Triumph whose members are on the staff and members list on the page ( including me, ( marinex ) and my brother, Delphon, as well as fellow Ohioans Nasali and Deadman54 from Sandusky. Lord Xenophon and FiresprayUK were both on Homecoming at one time. Beyond that, if you see any of them, tell them " Hey! ". https://web.archive.org/web/20081222051735/http://cityofheroes.gameamp.com/core/showTopCredibility

Well, they are Demons after all.... The Demons have a more complex graphics set than most of the other pets. Have you checked Memory and CPU activity compared to other sets? Anything you can do to free up Memory can't hurt. One thing a lot of people miss is that anything on your desktop that is not a shortcut ( other than recycle bin for instance ) are sitting in your active memory. if they can be moved to the main drive, then create a shortcut to them, it may help free some memory up, just a thought. PS ( Allocating some additional Virtual Memory may not be a bad idea as well )

You might look at Curser options in the menu, perhaps if you enlarge it, it will become visible again.

Wow, looks like a Christmas Light Display..... Are you using a wireless connection? If so, try using a wired connection and see if it improves your connection, it should. Wireless are great for convenience but are never running at your full potential speed, and multiple things can effect their stability. Latency is the real killer here as things have to happen at real time. Keep us posted.

I usually stay around my actual height ( 6' 4" ) just so the view I have of the world matches what I would see if I was actually there. I have a few smaller toons here and there, but no taller ones, I never really enjoyed being tall, probably because my Dad was 5' 6" and I thought the world of him. ( He was born in 1918 and has been gone for many years now ). The height really doesn't seem to effect any aspect of game play as far as I can tell including Enemies spotting you, except maybe in PVP.

While the Shadow Shard is definitely not a favorite of many players it has a lot of potential for incarnate level missions: 1) the Rularuu Watchers can make you swear you left your Defense at Home ( you might as well have ) but there are some hard hitters in their ranks and would be challenging at 50+++. 2) There is a lot mentioned about the Aspects of Rularuu in the Wiki, but several of them and several locations mentioned never made it into the game including: Aspects Chularn the Slave Lord Kuularth the Scavenger Aloore the Watcher Uuralur the Mirror Locations The Repository The Factory Cubes Garden of Mirrors Also, Not to mention it too many times, but it would be nice to have something to do in Kallisti Wharf other than Costume Contests, although those are appreciated.

Then there is the Secret Torture Room, but if it's a Secret, how come everyone knows about it.....

If it helps , in options , you can increase UI Scale, Text Size, and even the size of the Mouse Pointer.

I remember a long time ago, on the Paragon Chat boards, the Question was asked. " If City of Heroes came back, but it was at Issue 0, would you play?" I said yes, a sizable number of people said no. Expectations can change everything. I take what I get and try to remember how long I waited to get anything at all.

My Radiation Melee / Fiery Armor Brute Farmer on my @Marine X2 account, Sonny Burns, has always been good for +2 x 8 to +3 X 8 mobs in the $ComicCon Outdoor Fire Farm, but was going to have to do some work to get to +4 X 8 that would make him not so good for outside AE. Well I found the perfect solution. Team him with my main Marine X. Marine ( Invulnerable / Super Strength Vet level 81 ) has the Leadership powers Maneuvers and Tactics which I didn't take on Sonny, a mean Foot stomp, and is all but indestructible with his Incarnates fully loaded. Nothing to worry about there Logged him in and put Foot stomp on Auto and set him to follow Sonny. It worked great at +4 X 8 and was a lot of fun watching the Mayhem. Was a nice change that really made for a better farming experience. Anyone have any similar practices to make farming more fun?

Just wondering if there is a plan for a March 2021 Update?, it would be interesting to see how things have evolved over time. I realize it is a lot of work but it was really eye opening to see the combos that had almost no representation. Great reverse approach to fuel our Alt-itis, lol.

"Pancake"

I do the same, the two additional Procs I use are Obliteration: Chance for Smashing Damage and Eradication: Chance for Energy Damage, affordable and easy to find.

I think I may get what the OP was going for.....maybe. When you Respec, you pick all your powers first, then assign the slots to the powers as you wish, rather than having to go level by level thru the build like you do with the Test Insta-50. It would be nice to have it as button, then assign things like a respec. It really does go much faster and allows you to build a more accurate 50 because you can slot things heavier early than you could if leveling the Character, which is one of the benefits of a respec anyway. On test that would be a great idea, but the idea of putting this on the Active Servers, I'm with @Hyperstrike, Hard Pass.

Since you can get to the login screen, try logging onto Reunion, create a toon there and try it out. There have been many who have had issues with the internet path that gets them to the US Servers in Canada, and it may be something between You and there. Reunion is in Germany so it uses a different path. Another thing is if you are on WiFi try a wired connection, CoH runs in real time so lost packets can be a killer. If you get on you can check for Latency using /Net_Graph 1, if you want a larger view use /Net_Graph 2, /Net_Graph 0 turns it off. Let us know what you find.
