I wonder if it could be done as a Temporary Costume Power, like from Halloween, that you don't actually ride on, it is just a skin that uses your existing current costume ( like in that Praetoria mission where they show a giant statue of Your Character at the end ) and merge it with the biker's Bike animation from the Mastermind set, and it just moves with you like you were walking or running, probably way to much of a ton of work, I know, but I want a Harley.

Yeah, The Croatoa War is an Open World Event in a Level 25-34 Zone. Since it isn't a Giant Monster it won't scale to level 50 Players. You could join a 25-34 Team to do the event and then you may find it more challenging.... or go looking for Eochai or Jack in Irons, they love visitors.

I was not aware it had been run, I have seen the Rikti and Nemesis Invasions several times, but not the Rularru. Must have Missed it. The summer blockbuster is fine but I would think something more like the other seasonal events would be nice.

I was thinking the other day of all the in game special events we have to break up the monotony. It then occurred to me how little love summer gets. We have the Winter Event in December/January, the Valentine Event in February, then in the fall we have both the Halloween Event and the Zombie Apocalypse, there are Rikti and Nemesis Invasions kind of here and there in between other events. Summer really needs something to define it other than being able to run the Summer Blockbuster. Well, Today I was bored at work, ( doesn't happen often ), and did a little Homecoming Wiki surfing to fill some time and opened the Special Events Page. Among all the ones we all know, and all the Anniversary Events, Launch events, and Cuppathon was something I totally forgot about. The 2004 Rularuu Invasion. Is this still in there somewhere? I barely remember it, but it was a lot like the Rikti Invasion if I recall. Could this be used to give us a Bonafide Summer Random Event? I think it would work, if still available, What do you guys think? Do you remember any details about it?

Not sure why you believe that it is unattainable, but I see Mother Ship Raids being set up every weekend, once the shield is down the badge is there for the taking. I have participated in both the traditional and instanced versions and was able to get it either way, and the instanced had much less lag.

Just was trying to make the point that by level 50, you have had many opportunities to choose powers. Among these are the pool travel powers, boxing, stealth, etc. I think we are already overpowered from a " Comic Book " standpoint. Most Heroes do not have the level of power that we can have with almost any AT. Look at say Daredevil, he will never be the lead guy to take out Galactus. He's for the most part just a very skilled acrobat with an altered perception of the world. That type of character is not practical here, and there are probably more characters like him in comics than there are Superman types. I really like building effective and powerful characters myself, I just don't think we need any more freebies, if that's what happens, fine, but I just don't think it is needed.

I just honestly think we are starting to get further and further from what a "Comic Book Super Hero" world would be like. No one wants to be the side kick, or Junior Team member. No one wants to be Spiderman or Hawkeye or Black Widow, they want to stand toe to toe with an Arch Villain or Giant Monster and duke it out. Some of the Archetypes are intended to be support, it's in the description when you choose them, they should not be God Killers. Adding more opportunity for Power Creep just isn't really helping anyone, and getting a travel power is not that much of a burden. I have several Tanks/Brutes that use Jet Packs for travel, it just seems to fit the Character better than anything else, but I still take a travel pool power.

Although not many players enter the Echo Zones regularly, especially now that you can't do it from your base, they serve a useful function, Beyond just feeding Nostalgia..... Echo: Faultline- Best place in the game to work on Gearsmasher Badge, 15-25 Clockwork Princes are plentiful to spawn the gears when defeated. Badges and History Plaques. Echo: Dark Astoria- Large populations of 21-29 Tsoo, CoT and Banished Pantheon, need those BP Spirits for the badge?, only good place to hunt them. Badges and History Plaques, and Adamastor Summoning. Echo: Atlas- Great place to avoid lag and do low level street hunts. Badges and History Plaques. Echo: Galaxy City- Beyond Badges and History Plaques, there is a slightly larger population of Infected here if you skipped defeating 100 in the tutorial and want the Isolator badge, although I think you can run Outbreak in Ouroboros. I like having them around, beyond the nostalgia, just for someplace off the beaten path to wander around.

This has actually came up before ( Last Summer ).

After update Had it freeze at "loading", but a restart of my PC took care of it and was able to log in normally.

Unless you want " Rez to Base ", or Auto-Doc, etc, which still require a small amount of Power and Control equipment installed to operate,

During the Mission, " Scavenge for Supplies in Eltentown " from Vickers in First Ward, one Lt. was a Male in a Trenchcoat named " The Lioness " and another Lt. was a woman in tight leather named " Nasty Jacob ", oops.

Ahem, cough...cough, um.... I defeated him a little, just a little.

I'm at 19 with XP off and was assigned the " Meet with Crow " mission by Calvin Scott. Went to the Resistance Hub and there was a red arrow pointing at the floor at the top of the ramp but no Crow. Tried exiting and re-entering, even logged and reselected the mission. No Luck, finally just completed mission, but then Calvin Scott had nothing more for me. Did I mess something up or what?

I think the next destination displayed is based on the last player to access the system, I will have to test this, but I think when you select your destination it will be displayed on the sign. It used to do that when they were separate, and since all stations are available from any Tram, it can show any one selected. I'll check it to be sure.

I have been running an Energy Melee / Regen Brute ( Battlestrike ) through Praetoria and just hit 19 and am going to have to turn off XP to finish the Dark Watcher Arc. Forgot how good some of the Missions Goldside are, or at least unique. Have had a few ambushes that nearly got out of hand, and got put down once by something while AFK at a vendor, ???, but having a good run through this Solo, so far.

They show as separate lines on the map, but you weren't supposed to notice that they never edited the map, lol, but if you click to use the Tram you'll see all possible destinations listed. Maybe the Map maker was on a permanent Holiday, who knows. It is definately better combined. You used to have to run the full length of Steel Canyon ( No Travel powers till level 14 ) to get from the Yellow Line Station to the Green Line Station. The Old breakdown was: Yellow: Atlas, Kings Row, Steel South, Skyway North. Green: Steel North, Skyway South, Talos, Indy Port, Croatoa, Founders.

Sometime before the shutdown the original Devs combined the Yellow and Green Tram lines into one network and removed the old Hazard Zone and Level Based lockouts, leaving it up to the players to decide if going to Founder's Falls at level 2 was a good idea. Because of that change, the Tram Signage can show any destination available on the entire Tram network.

My guess is that it may be related to the adjustments that were made to the Auction House to allow for it to work with such a small population. For instance, if you put a non-attuned Luck of the Gambler in the market, it may sell as it is, or it may sell as attuned. Rare Salvage can sell as any other piece of equally rare salvage. I think this may be contributing to the systems glitched display of pricing and transactions since things can be sold as something other than what they are. I haven't got a clue how you would fix that, other than remove the adjustments, which would be very, very bad for the community at large.

I think one of the best things Homecoming has that sets it apart are the SCoRE Market enhancements. For our size community it is huge that this part of the game works at all. This suggestion is fairly simple: If you go now to a Vendor or Base AutoDoc you get X price for DO/SO enhancement drops, About what you pay for them at a contact, but the market value of the drops on the Market are strictly supply/demand based. In other words, worthless, thank goodness we have room for a ton of enhancements per character or we'd be leaking "profits" everywhere before we have time to make a special trip to sell them. I realize that there are players who like USING DO/SO Enhancements, and enjoy that the prices are low, but they are also not always available. This means they have to often pay the vendors full price for them. Would there be a way to make it so the auction house would buy & sell SOs at say Half the vendor/auto doc price? Call it the Discount House, lol. This would make it worthwhile to bother selling them at the Auction House, and bolster the supply and variety of them available for Players wanting to buy.

I believe that an account that has not logged in for over a year, should qualify to be considered inactive, but I could see pushing that to 18 months. I have had some long sessions trying to find just the right name, only to have to settle for something...unsatisfying, but I have no way to know this would change that. I feel that the name release policy should never be Automatic, but rather Names no longer reserved, that seems fair to both sides and Should not apply to 50+ Characters. When I started here, in the spring of 2019, I lost one of my "Live" 50s right out of the gate as someone had already taken "Goldfever", so I just made him "Gold Fever" and moved on, but I believe that there will eventually need to be action taken. I have confidence in the Homecoming Team to be fair in how the handle these kinds of issues.

After 14 pages of careful reading and digesting the content of this post: Soloing presents some issues teaming does not. Teaming presents some issues that soloing does not. Acronyms are Cool. PB and Banana are quite good. I also sometimes make Toasted Crunchy PB and Cheese Sandwiches. I Prefer steaks Medium so that I don't have to fight to keep it from escaping mid-meal. Crab is good. Apple Pie with Ice Cream. Baked Apples with Bacon and Cheddar, very special.
