_NOPE_

That'd be another route of control, sure. But I still like the idea of taking away the intangibility and replacing it with just an "only affects self".

Was there a recent change to nukes that I missed? Because my electrical nuke is now doing knock back, and I swear it's NEVER done knock back before...

I'm doing it all solo, for concept. It's the principle of the thing. I don't want my Excelsior version of The Philotic Knight to team... EVER. I know it's weird, especially for an FF Defender, but I wanted to prove, at least to myself, that it's still totally viable as a solo hero, from level 1 to level 50+, all the way to "completing" the character with the highest tier Incarnate abilities. So far, it looks like I'm proving it just fine. But that won't work if I try to "cheat". I just needed a path to do it without teaming, I have no issues doing the work itself.

Thanks everyone. I was trying to do the iTrials entirely for the merits to get the T4s, nothing to do with the trials themselves. I've got all six slots unlocked, and T3s in all of them, except I think I have two T4s by now, so I've got four T4s left to go. So I was looking for a way to "farm" the Empyrean Merits. It looks like that guide that @Omega-202 pointed to will solve that, as it points to the arc that @Ukase and others pointed to, so thanks for that everyone!

Does anyone know if it's even possible to start an Incarnate Trial completely solo? Context: I've gotten my main up to Veteran Level 32, with ALL of my slots unlocked AND filled with tier 3 Incarnate abilities... COMPLETELLY SOLO. I wanted to test and see how hard it would be to do this on a FF/Elec Defender without EVER teaming with a single other person. Not only did I do it, I did it fairly easily. But, the trudge through getting those very rare tier 4 abilities has been very slow and painful, I think I've only got two of them so far, grinding through the Veteran Levels for Empyrian Merits. It'd be MUCH faster if I could solo iTrials, but I haven't figured out how to work the GUI to make that happen, if it's even possible! Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope! Screenshots would be awesome for the process... again, if it's even possible.

The single best song I've ever heard to play on repeat while writing code. A perfect mix of chill music and dynamic music to help your mind focus for a bit, and then de-focus to rest, then focus again. Sometimes, I literally play this all day long on a loop when I have a project that I REALLY have to focus on: Emiliana Torrini - Wednesday's Child

I disagree, at least for myself. When I signed up for City of Heroes, I signed up to play a HERO, working together with other heroes to fight against the evils of the world's villains. I never wanted PvP, and I have zero interest in it. I think I've stepped in a PvP zone maybe twice ever, and just out of curiosity. I'd rather play a cooperative game rather than a competitive game. There's enough tribalism in the world out there what with all the sportsballs and the wars and such, that to me, a cooperative game where you work WITH humans to fight AI, is a refreshing change of pace. I don't need to play against other humans for the sake of my ePeen. Though, of course, I understand that some other humans feel that need to be competitive with each other. In my opinion, that need should be squashed wherever possible as a relic of our caveman days.

Thanks for tagging me, but I'll leave that to others. I have a lot on my plate right now, and not enough time to start in a new venture, as much as I'd like to. Time is the most precious commodity.

How about we all focus on the game changes, instead of each other?

Oops... Hmmm.... I wonder, could the HC team's coders perhaps do the same thing that happens with Laura Lockheart to Positron when someone gets this mission? I'm guessing that's "newer tech" that was never applied to the older missions.

Wait wait, wait, did you just say the word "suffering" in a video game forum, and the word related to an action within a video game?

@Leandro, wait, you mean you're all HUMAN??? Damn, and here I thought y'all were some kind of all seeing-all knowing computer gods. THANKS FOR RUINING THE ILLUSION DUDE! 😡 😡 😡

On the other hand, it looks like he's got a pretty full life right now, and he seems pretty happy/chipper about it. So, maybe we shouldn't cry doom and get upset for someone who doesn't seem upset themselves.

Yeah, frankly, I never ran a modern Hamidon, I only ran Hamidons before Leagues even existed, so I don't even know how the interface works. I assumed that people could leave and join Leagues on a whim like they can a team, but maybe that's wrong? My suggestion was based on that assumption.

I think the Hamidon issue could be resolved by making the Hive into a League-instanced mission. No player cap, just whomever is in the League are the only ones that can enter that instance. It'd require new code, probably a lot, but I think it'd be worth it, and it'd be code that could be used elsewhere in future missions/task forces/trials.

Just because you don't enjoy the lower level game, that doesn't make it a universal opinion, or anything remotely close to a fact. That being said, I've been asking for just adding an "I Win" button that insta-levels people to 50 almost since Homecoming started. I started it off as a joke, since I *LIKE* the content at all levels, but the more I hear these arguments, the more I think it should be real. Set it there in City Hall, right next to the SuperGroup registration desk. Just a little non-descript bell that people can choose to click on or not. If they click on it, they instantly become level 50, and have to go to Miss Liberty or whomever to train to pick their powers. However, no free influnce or slots will be given, you'll have to figure that part out for yourself, either from your other alts supplying the funds, or from farming easy farms yourself. But I think this buttons' existence would DRASTICALLY reduce the "PL me plz" and "DFB LFM" nonsense in the primary chat. And I don't think that's a bad thing. Let's make it happen people!

This, all of this.

A team Mission Statement Full transparency wherever possible. A long term publicly visible plan/goals (annual plan, 2 year plan, 5 year plan, etc.) "Completed" Incarnate Powers (at least for all of the named Incarnate slots) A monthly "state of the game" post with information/stats and an update on how were doing on the plan VS. Where we thought we'd be. A plan for good AE missions/arcs to be folded into the actual game, a pathway for players to provide permanent content into the game's "Canon". That'd be a good start. 🙂

Well, as I said, I wanted to clone ParagonWiki onto my own non-Fandom private server. But when I ask for access to do so... crickets. Frustrating.

I started this, just to get by with a placeholder, though nobody picked it up and ran with it: https://coh-homecoming-unofficial.fandom.com/wiki/City_Of_Heroes:_Homecoming_Unofficial_Wiki I tried to do this, and have heard nothing but crickets since then: But then, I'm starting to get sadly used to being ghosted, it seems to be getting to be par for the course for this whole community lately. 😢

My guess would be "yes", until we hear otherwise.
