Marine X

Clearly no, America didn't. Germany had already fallen to the Allied forces, Italy bowed out early and amazingly avoided the negative backlash the other Axis powers were subjected to. Every time I see something regarding the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki I feel a bit ashamed that my country felt that was the only way to end the ongoing conflict. It was nothing to be proud of and had to be a difficult choice for all those involved. However, Japan's collective sense of Duty and Honor would have kept the war going indefinitely, with a much greater death toll. The price we are still paying is that the Genie is out of the bottle, Pandora's Box is wide open, every regime is on a quest to have that power, and there is no way back from there.

Have to say the one that frustrates me the most is the outdoor Factory Map that has about 8 levels of ramps on the outside and multiple levels inside. Always used for a defeat all Clockwork mission and you spend a ridiculous amount of time at the end looking for one Oscillator who is hovering 100' feet above you or a Cog who has fallen down between the ramps.

Reunion is now up and running.

According to @GM Flints on Discord, Reunion is stuck halfway thru a restart, the team has been notified and will address the issue, all other shards are working fine.

Just tried to log into Game on Reunion and keep getting " cannot find map! " error, followed by " account already logged in ". Restarted PC, Modem and router, still the same. Switched to second account, still the same. Can log either account into any of the other shards just fine, issue seems to just be Reunion.

I believe there is also a setting in options to set whether the screenshot includes the UI, not able to verify at the moment, but seem to recall seeing it there.

It's all good, reran it and finished it, was just very boring to do the same timed defeat all mission twice in one day, but on to other things.

Well still got screwed. Was in mission when they announced server maintenance in one hour, finished up mission and exited only to be awarded an automatic timed mission ( 90 min ) with only about 40 minutes left till shut down. Couldn't get it done. After the reset I logged back in and the mission cued up with the timer at 47 minutes, but it completely reset the map. Started all over and still couldn't get it done. Wasted 3 hours to get a failed mission arc. It did give me 15 merits, oh boy, what a happy day.

Not sure if there will be anyone able to answer this but wondered what the Maintenance Schedule will be this week 7/3-7/5. Was thinking that I might start a long Flashback Arc tomorrow morning but really don't want my progress wiped out by a server restart. I imagine not all the GMs, HC Team etc, consider tomorrow a holiday, so thought I should probably ask.

Started an Ouro Arc in base using base Pillar, "Ubelmann the Unknown" from Ashwin Lannister in the 25-29 section. After the first mission I needed to return to contact so I went to my base, went to the Pillar and used the Teleport to contact option to save the slog through Indy Port to get to him. Well suddenly I am rezzing in the Indy Port Hospital, not sure If it always does that with that character or if it was a fluke but still weird, I realize he is in the lobby of the Hospital, so no big deal but I should have appeared at him, not in the Mediporter.

For my Illusion Controller I created a Costume that I liked for them then used Supergroup mode to differentiate my Toons Colors from PA since Phantom Mirror only looks at the base costume file and doesn't incorporate the Supergroup Variants on them, gives you a little room to be creative with no hassle.

Just looked at the Homecoming Wiki again, not listed on the Hero Defeat Badges Page, if there is a Page Separately for them that's great, but they still need added to the Overview at some point. Visionary is, the other 2 are not.

Good morning. Even though I live in Ohio/USA, I play on Reunion. I started there when it was still Halcyon and hadn't been spun off as the European Server. I have also found that it can be a challenge to participate in group activities during the times I have time to play. I have a few Characters on other servers but have really made Reunion my home. Hami Raids and MSRs are consistently ran on weekends and I do those when I can, but iTrials have been something I haven't had much luck joining. I agree with you on your request, If the bulk of the PVP community is not there anymore then the title should be removed as it is not accurate. Reunion may be the European Server ( and is in Germany ) but a lot of people I chat with are not in Europe either.

I used the PI Safeguard which has Malta to complete the Sapper Defeats Badge at +1x8 with about 5 or 6 repeats. Nice having them outside where they were easy to spot instead of hiding around a corner or hovering above a door. ( Is that what you meant, @Techwright, as far as farming Safeguards? )

You are correct @Burk, the Wiki shows it in 20-24, didn't think to look in a different mission range, thanks.

The Wiki lists this badge as being awarded for completing " The Lords of Death " Arc from Eagle Eye, which I am pretty sure I did because I have the Deadlock badge " You should see the other Guy " which is the last mission Eagle Eye gives out, but no " Skull Buster " Badge. The Wiki shows that the Arc is supposed to be available thru Ouroborus but unless it is listed under a different name, I don't see it there. Has the Badge been removed? It is still shown in the Pop Menu and the Wiki, not sure what's up with that.

Just thought I would document these 2 Badges to which there is no reference in the Wiki. The first is for 500 Naterlings or Bull Naterlings Defeated, either one counts. The second is for 500 Points of Brutes Defeated, Brutes and Noble Brutes are 1 point each, Honored Brutes are 5 points each. In the same way, the Visionary Badge is earned by Defeating 500 points of Rularru Watchers, Watchers and Observers are 1 point each, Overseers are 5 points each. Still working on that one..... Now Done. At 1234 Badges, I have done no iTrials or Villain content yet, have done all the Exploration Badges though, haven't decided if I want to do missions Redside, just doesn't feel like it fits, where exploring enemy territory makes sense for a Marine. Casual player, but who knows, if I can find a way to make it fit his character maybe. Never going to make 1600 anyway, just spent 2 days trying to get my first Ski Slope Badge and failed, It was worse than the many previous attempts, I think I've given up on those.

Under Menu / Options there are a bunch of settings you can adjust. If Ultra Mode is enabled I would disable it and move most of the detail and effects sliders to a lower setting until you find a level that allows normal gameplay. You can always tinker with these later but need to find something the Processor can handle. Shadows and ambient Occlusion can be taxing as well.

I have always enjoyed the First Ward/Night Ward Arcs and feel it is almost a Fourth Side to the game, Call it say, Gray Side. There is a noticeable difference in both Mission Design and Story Quality, which was reflected in almost all the later additions to the game. Although I have only played 2 Praetorians so far, I almost always work those zones into the leveling path of my characters. All the content ( Arcs anyway ) is available thru Ouroboros for those that don't do the Arcs when in level range. I personally think that, as has been said a thousand times, many people come to Homecoming fresh, thinking they have to get leveled up for Endgame Content, which is not necessarily the best the game has to offer. Raising the level where these Contacts could be active would not be something I would be apposed to considering our limited amount of quality level 50+ mission content. I know that the iTrials are there, but I believe more content that can be soloed or done on small teams organically at 50 would be beneficial especially on the smaller population shards.

Well the only person who would really fit the role perfectly would be Mender Silos. Granted, his history and motives are suspect to say the least, but he exists outside of space and time and has made his role to observe every detail of existence, including his own, and intervene only when he must to insure that humanity survives, at least I think that is his motive.........

Are you able to hover over the bottom edge of the window till you get the double arrows then stretch the window by pressing your left mouse button and pulling down?

I was a Paragon Chat diehard and saw Codewalkers post regarding " The elephant in the Room " , it wasn't long after that I was back.

Plus, just to clarify, keep in mind that although you may have the Badges for Posi 1 and Posi 2, if you got them before the new badge was introduced they will not count towards Epidemiologist. You will need a new defeat of Doc Buzzsaw and Dr. Vahzilok for the badge progress to count it. ( This was the case for me ).

Been trying to get the word out that Donations are still open but chat is so busy that it's buried in no time.

Check out the thread below, some opted to replace the Card to fix issues but several on page 2 found replacing the Thermal Paste corrected it, read on....and good hunting. Resolved - Fan 1 Sudden High RPM at 80C - RTX 2080 Ti XC - EVGA Forums
