Marine X

It might also be worth checking to see if Damage Dealt in the Tutorial applies to the Damage Count, or if it begins once you reach Atlas. I am not sure, but I know I am able to get badges immediately If I do the tutorial, so if they don't count.....

For the Seal Clobbering, go to Croatoa and Defeat Sally, She only has 2 Hit points, and She could pass for a Seal if you were on Hallucinogens and Wild Turkey. Also you'll get that, " I'm a Horrible Person " feeling, that you could use to explain your desire to be a pacifist. PS ( Off the Giant Seal twice and you've only caused 4 ticks of Damage and you get a Badge )

It's a part time Gig, Jimmy quit, Jody got married They Shoulda known, they'd never get far....

Glad you got it working. The best place for it is usually in it's own folder on your hard drive. This avoids conflicts over permissions and limits the number of issues you may have down the road. Then just locate the Tequila.exe in that folder and create a shortcut to it on your desktop. This also avoids it occupying your Ram when it's not running, as most desktop items are merely shortcuts, not complete folders/programs.

No, they don't, however Alt Accounts are rarely going to log into the forums, other than @MetaVileTerror, who pops up under a new name every other week ( Just Kidding ). Probably a lot are Bots, but some are Lurkers and Stalkers, and the cautiously curious and we welcome them. Anything that isn't negative that keeps growing the population is in our long term best interest. There are also a lot of players who create an account here so they can create a game account, but never visit the boards, or prefer using the Discord Channel. The population here is only part of the picture. I do enjoy seeing a newby question in the game Help Channel, new people are joining us, I'll take slow growth over negative growth. The initial rush of Players was expected to slow after a while, or the next "shiny" came along, but both old and new players are joining us at a pretty regular pace, I like seeing that.

Also to consider is that if you look at the " Online Users " tab, there are a bunch of " guest " viewers online any time you look. A lot of these may be people just curious about Homecoming from other servers or those considering creating an account. It may also be people with accounts, but they are not at their normal location ( work/mobile ) so are not logged in. Either way, lots of eyes on the forums.

I also observed that the counter for badge completion does not count down, but it does award at the appropriate time, but without the normal onscreen " Badge Earned " pop and just appears in your inventory, works for me.

whew... quite the read to catch up to this point in the topic so as to be informed as to what has been covered. I am always a little cautious of change, and of any level of Cancel Culture. I waited for years for this game to return, and to see those God Forsaken Blue Caves again, I think I may have even chuckled a little the first time I ended up in the Spawn of Satan Council Pool Complex. I would like to see new content, new maps, new mission Arcs, new base items, new costume pieces and maybe even some new Giant Monsters. But I don't want to start replacing existing assets and content. I play on Homecoming because they are taking a slow and careful approach to developing the game, preserving the original game as much as possible, improving it where they can and I think that is for the best. The OP mentioned running into the Blue Caves Map doing Radio Missions, maybe they could just be removed as a potential map assignment there, and left In place for the original assignments they were created for. That would hopefully help remove some of the frustration without removing them entirely from the game. I have no first hand knowledge of the Devs situation. I do however know my own. If I were to donate my time to a project like this, at the end of the day, I would like to see tangible results. They have many been at this for years to get to the point we are at. Hopefully there will be many more years ahead of us, with New things introduced along the way and the old things right where we remember them.

Oh and we can hold Tahquitz responsible for this... https://www.cohtitan.com/forum/index.php?topic=12553.0 and this... https://www.cohtitan.com/forum/index.php?topic=12936.0

Before the return of CoH, for April Fools a few years back, Codewalker force enabled Cell Shading on Paragon Chat and claimed it was a permanent improvement to make us all look more like Champions Online. I thought it was hilarious..... https://www.cohtitan.com/forum/index.php?topic=11849.0

So you are saying you want something a notch "BELOW" a Hamidon Raid or Mothership Raid? These both already require a Huge amount of people, Incarnate or not, to be successful? If you are thinking Challenge, form a Team or League and go hunting in the Hive, that's always a Hoot, Those Giant DE Monsters have no sense of humor and will be more than happy to introduce you and yours to new and never before seen Yoga Positions ( AKA Ragdoll Physics ). I ended up in a Tree once, Excellent.

When I first started playing CoH was a couple months after launch and it was my first MMO. I swear I was the only ( 40 Year old ) newby on Virtue that day. I couldn't figure anything out. Finally had to ask where Antonio Nash ( I think ) the mutant contact was. This guy kept telling me " He's in City Hall ", I would go in the door, rotate around and then text " he's not in here " back to the player I was chatting with. He replied " He's in the Basement ", at this point I thought I was getting the old 1st day at school prank, " just take the elevator to 3rd floor " , when you asked where something was in a 2 story school. I texted over Global, " Can someone just tell me where Antonio Nash is ?", It was humbling and hilarious when the player I had been chatting with came inside and led me over to the stairs, I felt about 1" tall, and it always reminds me to help people out when you can, politely and patiently, it's a hero game after all ( no offense to CoV players, it took me way longer to figure out Redside ).

Did you hear about the fight in that restaurant last night? Four fish got battered! With friends likes these, who needs anemones? ugh... those were very bad... Such a load of carp Off to do some sole searching....

1= People who don't know how to CoH, and don't appear to have a Sunny Future ahead of them, even though their parents tell them differently before bed each night. 2= May consider playing with again but only if caught at a weak moment right after accidentally paying $24,000,000 Influence for a level 20 Generic Slow IO. 3= Remedial Uninformed Inexperienced but otherwise Great People, according to their cousin's husband's sister who was also on that team that didn't completely suck. 4= Have all the basic skills, their costume is not distracting, their chat is not offensive, they are very prompt, and have very good personal hygiene. 5= Outstanding Leaders and Amazing Team Players that are personally invited to any and all Upcoming World of CoH Tours. If they can ever add..... 6= Out of my Class, GODS, I should spend my time hand washing their Athletic Supporters or other gear on the hope a little Genius rubs off on me.

This is what I found. If you go to the Pillar of Ice and Flame the first Dark Astoria mission will be from Captain Nolan, it is an Introduction to DA. While looking at the mission list it will be the only one not highlighted. Did that one and got the badge. It is a solo/non combat mission. The mission progression will start and run to the end without it but you won't receive the badge till you complete it.

Clearly..... I am mostly 4 & 5 with a smattering of 1 & 6 kinda smooshed into it. Kind of a Chocolate in my Peanut Butter, Peanut Butter in my Chocolate Kinda Thing and I believe a Bird in the Sun is better than a Stone Hand in a Horses Mouth in the bushes.... Nevermind.

I seem to remember a Rash of weird Kronos Titan Spawns back on Live, once 1 even spawned in Cherry Hills ( the Hollows ), that was a Train Wreck. I guess I thought it was a Bug that was taken care of.

Well, for me the 6th Grade was in about 1975, so some of my dated references may ruin the humor intended, sorry. lol.

They are stuck trying to decide on the exact shade of Red and Diameter for the Giant Red Ball in Kallisti Wharfs Harbor, and whether the tier 3 power choice for Carp Melee should cause target to Egress lunch, breakfast, last nights dinner, "Milk Duds" eaten in the sixth grade and things never intended to be egressed or just have knockback. Tough choices.

You will want to remember that you have a Password for your Forum account, and a totally different one for Game Login. they are not typically the same. Since this is the first I've heard of this particular problem, ( Usually people try using their forum account to enter the game ), I suggest verifying both the forum and game accounts and passwords, if this is not the problem my apologies in advance.

Yes, New Years Day on Homecoming, Baby New Year was on me like Glue and the little tike just refused to give up. It was very sad to team with others with the same issue as you ended up with a pile of temporarily Dead Babies outside the mission door, who would reappear when you exited mission. Very Creepy, Very Strange, and thankfully short lived.

Marine X was my Main on Live and now on Homecoming. He is an Invulnerability / Super Strength Tanker. and was my first 50. I just identify with him more than any other character that I have and playing him is effortless. I soloed thru the Dark Astoria Storyline @ +4X6 and never died, granted it was slow going at times, especially the one with all the groups of Cyclops and the like but I got thru it, and got the Lone Wolf Badge. 2nd place would go to the Twins, Bubba ( Reunion ) and Sonny ( Everlasting ) Burns, ( Mutant Sons of Enos and Ophelia Burns of Rural Croatoa ) my Fire Armor/ Radiation Melee Brute Rednecks just because they get a lot of long stares, ( Not even the least bit Metro-Males ) and even though they weren't built for farming they do okay and are fun to play. They just aren't as Tough and comfortable for me as Marine is. My Main Marine came from Maine mainly. I do have other Toons I have brought back from the Abyss; Livingston ( Stone/Fire Tank ), A.C. Volt ( Electric/Electric Tank ), Warhorse ( Shield/War Mace Tank ), Gold fever ( Illusion/Kinetic Controller ), and Crimson Cage ( Peacebringer ). I also have some new ones such as Major Meson ( Radiation/Radiation Tank ), Hawkstar ( Fire/Invulnerability Sentinel ), and Grimmwolf ( Bio Armor/Savage Melee Tank ) Still Play Marine More.

This would be an opportunity to allow Hero Characters who really don't want to change alignment to acquire badges for those groups. My thought for spawns would be to give some groups that have a very limited presence the Majority of the Space, I would have to say the Tsoo, and maybe Warriors could use some more Real Estate. I was also thinking that since Kallisti sits at the mouth of the same river that leads to Perez Park it would follow that the southern river banks would be occupied by Hydra, perhaps even occasionally spawning Kraken. As far as a zone event, I was thinking that we have seen nothing of all the Praetorian Clockwork Groups ( other than in their story arcs) since the fall of Praetoria. I think they could make a great Zone event. Use a base White Hole as spawn point and have the Combined Forces of the Clockwork attempt to invade Kallisi Wharf as their new Home by creating a Beachhead on the Island between the Red and Blue Sides of the Map. This would Culminate with the arrival of the SPECTRA Robots and Nightstar. Plenty of under seen assets here: Neuron Clockwork Anti-Matter Clockwork Anti-Matter SPECTRA Electrode Nuon Spectra series l Circuit Meson Spectra series ll Inhibitor Baryon Spectra series lll 9 Volt ( Boss ) Cold Fusion ( Boss ) Meg Snap ( Boss ) Radio Active ( Boss ) Nightstar ( Arch Villain ) Sizzle ( Boss ) Valence ( Boss ) Actually forgot: The Harbor is Home to Sally's Sister Kalli, earning the " Beyond Belief " badge

I haven't seen any less Corona Beer Commercials since this started. I doubt Toyota will retroactively rename a Car they made for 40+ years. I imagine there were a lot of people with the first name Adolph back in the 1940s that considered changing their name. I'm sure Adolph Coors III felt he was defined by his actions and life more than by someone else who shared his first name. It seems to me that he created the Toon before this was an Issue and that should be taken into consideration.
