  1. Before the "no drama" rule was implemented, I have seen them turn a blind eye to COXG's attempts to smear Homecoming on several occasions, if not outright support those. What I've seen were multiple petty attempts at rabble-rousing and weaponising their userbase. There was one occasion when - on COH discord, no less - one of COXG's representatives there tried to use the default SMF forum EULA as basis for a claim that Homecoming was selling user data to NCSoft. Then there was COXG's statement on reddit, built with several deliberately misrepresented (if not outright false) claims, basically trying to weaponize the subreddit's population against Homecoming. Then there was the COH subreddit and their discord taking COXG's claims on face value and supporting it with their own "statement" on the matter that just parroted COXG's. To be fair, once the COH subreddit's discord admins realized what their announcement was leading towards (as in: their users conspiring to attack Homecoming servers/team in various fashions), they removed it and made another trying to dissuade their users from taking action against Homecoming. COXG made public statements that constituted a smear campaign against Homecoming. COH discord was complicit in the above, by not clamping down on that crap until Homecoming disassociated themselves from them (Given that the discord claimed neutrality but in practice acted as a hostile party, I was only surprised it took Homecoming that long to make that decision). The COH subreddit is under control of political activists. Their discord server was founded over the COH discord rejecting a mod application made by a transgender political activist, who has subsequently been granted moderator rights on the subreddit and their discord (with the overall impression given being that no interview took place). Their admins have on at least one occasion stated that they consider the notion that their users have basic online rights - privacy, anonymity, control of their personal information, building an online identity of choice / preference - to be transphobic and that, quote, "it negates the point of pride". You are welcome to decide whether that constitutes problems or not.
  2. A single shared authentication service / character database is a single point of failure. The reason NCSoft had no issue using one was because they fully controlled it. That would not be the case here. If someone compromises it, every user of the connected servers is fucked - and it's a big, juicy target with more value the more servers opt into it. If it goes down, every connected server is fucked. And you can expect that to result even from something as simple as being overloaded.
  3. They're few in number, but they exist. It takes only a handful of shitlords to make things worse for a large number of people.
  4. Paragon Chat wasn't COH. It was an XMPP client bolted on to COH's client - assumptions about what is possible in COH on the basis of Paragon Chat are simply baseless. Because OuroDev isn't located here. This is where you'll find them: https://ourowiki.ouro-comdev.com/index.php?title=Main_Page
  5. It's a non-starter: the chances would only exist on your end, everyone else would end up having issues viewing your character at all. You should look into what OuroDev has figured out regarding the dev tools included in the game's source code. I understand there were several relevant items there.
  6. Marvel's 2003 series Supreme Power has shades of that.
  7. Okay, I've figured out what's going on. The arm slider is only available when running Icon in NPC mode ( with the parameter -n ). My Icon shortcut has been set up with that for so long that I've forgotten it exists. Otherwise it works exactly as I've expected and the game doesn't validate the scale when you load the costume, so... ... say hello to Marshall Fisto, The Longest Arm Of The Law!
  8. The spawns aren't on the rooftops IIRC
  9. Try opening up Titan Icon, it gives access to a separate arms slider. Save that costume, load it in the actual game.
  10. It would be simplest if you went Vigilante and she went Rogue - Vigilante can't start villain missions, Rogue can't start hero missions, but they can join missions on those sides if started by a party member. There are also cooperative zones - Cimerora, Dark Astoria, Rikti War Zone - where heroes and villains can group. Incarnate trials are shared as well, I believe.
  11. The character doesn't actually get created in your account until you finish the creation and enter either a tutorial or a starting location. Until the character does get created, the name isn't reserved and anyone can grab it.
  12. Optimization depends on the context - modern GPUs are drivers are optimized for modern graphics APIs, not ones that ceased to be relevant a decade ago.

  14. Either file a ticket through the ticketing system: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/index.php/board,42.0.html or get in touch with the GMs on the Discord server: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/index.php/board,19.0.html
  15. You need the GMs for that. Either file a ticket through the ticketing system: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/index.php/board,42.0.html or get in touch with them on the Discord server: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/index.php/board,19.0.html
  16. It works for faultline too if you get the updated maps, there 3 maps that were update that I know of. Where can we get the updated versions?
  17. This is not something you solve via these forums. Contact the GMs asap.
