Yes I think that is very fair. The reddit post I linked to and the general attitude outside Homecoming seems to be that because HC doesn't want to devote resources to doing this, that they won't cooperate when it's done. I think a "Hey, if you get it working, we'll think about it" would set a lot of minds at ease.
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.

We do not plan to use an authentication server outside of Homecoming's own network. Using our own authentication server means that we are free to integrate game accounts with our other systems (such as our support system and website) and means that we can be sure that nothing will happen to our user's accounts :)

+1 to that

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.So, again, Massively Overpowered has posted yet another article about how OUR community has been plagued with actions from players, either against other players, or the DEV team, or even the servers themselves. I almost exclusively play on Homecoming ( I have at least a presence on every shard), and I'm wondering if anyone's seen this sort of "toxic behavior" that we all keep hearing about? -
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.I don't understand why that would be, because people could change their costumes on Paragon Chat and others could see it? If they enabled it for Homecoming and made it compatible, then I don't see how there would be issue.
Because OuroDev isn't located here.A search here for OuroDev also brought up nothing.This is where you'll find them: https://ourowiki.ouro-comdev.com/index.php?title=Main_Page

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.

Marvel's 2003 series Supreme Power has shades of that.I plan on seeing it soon. Hopefully this weekend. I mean, Evil Superman Kid? Yeah, I'm sold. Makes me think of how Ultraman could have been in his universe. -
Calling it "P2W" is a joke.IIRC, there was nothing P2W in the original game. Now, I am not against the devs for having some P2W stuff in the game to pay for the servers. -
Explained:How?Titan Icon gives access to a separate arms slider. Save that costume, load it in the actual game.The arm slider is only available when running Icon in NPC mode ( with the parameter -n ).
None. Tested.And what other body parts might this be applied to? -
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!

The spawns aren't on the rooftops IIRC

Try opening up Titan Icon, it gives access to a separate arms slider. Save that costume, load it in the actual game.

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.
-
Eh.
Even toss.

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.

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.A GTX 980 should be able to max out this game no problem, 30 - 60 fps is not normal on that video card. Before the shutdown, I used to max out everything and run 70 FPS average on a AMD 5970 and 8 gigs of Ram. -
What's your operating system?I installed the game, click on the "homecoming" icon and the introductory screen pops up. A few seconds later the screen goes black, the program closes, and I'm brought back to my desktop. Is it possible my laptop can't handle the game? My graphics card is a NVIDIA GeForce GT 730M. I have an intel core i7 with 8 gb of RAM. Plenty of disk space available at 124 GB. Any thoughts?

What location did you install Tequila and the game into?

Where can we get the updated versions?It will work for every zone but Faultline.
It works for faultline too if you get the updated maps, there 3 maps that were update that I know of.

Does anyone recall the boot-up command to make the game launch with the villain theme as default? I may not like the colour red in the slightest, but I REALLY like the red-side title music!
Simple: -cov

This is not something you solve via these forums. Contact the GMs asap.
Can we have a real moment? Is Homecoming SCORE 2.0?

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.
