i just discovered Ice Mistral's ice bra... i want an ICE BRA! 😁

and the skull bra too...

March 12

this is what my grav/time set-up looks like, but it is with an unlimited budget and to my own tastes and play style. what is not shown is what i also have from the teleportation pool; teleport, teleport target, and fold space. also not shown is the three end procs in health and two in stamina; miracle +rec, numina +rec, panacea +end, with performance shifter end mod and +end.

he plays right in the middle of the action, usually dropping mobs right on the tank's head or on top of the singularity. singularity has a negative repel that pulls in mobs, drawing them in, that is why i like it in the middle rather than off to the side when it follows.

typical solo attack chain is... drop distortion field, wormhole to me, crushing field, teleport target to me for the singularity, then picking off mobs with propel and lift.

typical team attack chain is... follow tank/brute closely, distortion field, wormhold/fold space, TP singularity to me, etc...

this is the TP to me macro that i use, it can find the singularity anywhere on the map and tp to yourself with two taps on the button.

i hate to follow the crowd but i am also working on a AR/TA troller and it plays so differently from other trollers that i have had. in the biography i called it a recon unit, and on a team it is exactly that. i run ahead with cloaking device, drop flash arrow and smoke canister on the group ahead, when the rest of the team catches up and engages, i drop the other control powers, debuffing etc, on the group. i work on some of the bosses with arcane bolt, which i happily learned works with containment and can proc for 3x damage. when the rest are mopping up, i run ahead and find the next group. i've played no other troller like this and it makes for a really interesting solo and team combo. tear gas is a hoot, everyone vomits! 😄

i am sorry i do not have a picture at this moment, i will have to run it again. but i just finished a positron 1 taskforce with my level 24 AC/TA controller. the leader of the taskforce started as level 12, ran a full team at +1/8. all went well, until i noticed that a trigun was summoned by a doppleganger. this should not be possible, since it is a tier 9 power and should only be available level 26, though possible to use at level 21. we were no where near that level, and it definitely should not have been there.

i will add a picture, when i run it again and if it is reproducable. 🙂

this is fun! i usually use AI generators to do more abstract stuff. but i figured a would try this for kicks. so i made the OG Ridiculous Girl (fire/fire blaster) from live.

bing prompt: cel shaded comic book style, wide angle, very tall woman smiling, with orange hair, orange leather bustier, tight orange leather pants with a fire stripe on the sides, knee-high platform boots, standing outdoors amidst burning wreckage

i was most recently using AI art for generating images for my dreams; i don't remember the prompt, it was something like; couple, man and woman, sitting outside under a tree, it is nighttime, lit by gas lantern, with a farmhouse in the background.

another dream, AI prompt: snowman sitting at table in a kitchen, drinking coffee.

this all makes me want to experiment with my computer art again...

normally i do abstract mandalas using photo manipulation and some AI generation supplementing the abstractions... i have been using movie stills as a seed image.

seed photo: from Dune

initial mandala:

final image (that i could find)

thank you for getting me addicted again! 😄

First time playing a controller, I'm Dark/Dark and level 10 and just having a heck of a time. I really like it but I die all the time. What do I want for my enhancements to help with damage and survivability. Also a new player as well

i have a baby troller, AC/TA, and i just learned that arcane bolt from the sorcery pool is great power. not only does it do double damage when you get the "containment", but it will sometimes proc and instantly recharge, and with containment, it will do triple damage! it has changed my how i am playing that controller.

that said... normally controllers are very damage poor until later when they get their pet. but on teams they are great at their job, which is crowd control. holds and immobilises are your specialty, as well as buffs and debuffs. damage is not as important. but if you want an extra, good damage power i would highly suggest looking into getting arcane bolt. 🙂

Thank you everyone! I slotted my oil slick arrow with Bombardment, including the Fire damage proc. We'll see if that creates a (randomly timed) auto-igniting slick.

i am wondering if it would not proc and ignite because it takes 1.15 seconds to cast oil slick and the proc fires off at cast. that would explain why others have not had it work. 🙂

Arsenal Control > Auto Turret: This pet should no longer have teleport protection

yeah, I noticed this one, thought it strange. but since the always follows so well and close, and it sort of made sense to me (tanky, nonteleportable), i accepted it. this works for me also. 🙂

Arsenal Control > Liquid Nitrogen: Fixed power info while right clicking on its icon in the buff bar. Power now accepts slow enhancements and sets. Addressed an issue that was making power info exaggerate the amount of damage generated

i saw a bunch of complaints about this, though my counter was it was like another, similar ice power, ice slick, that did not accept slow encs and sets. but this works for me too.

Adamastor's Monstrous Aether now shares cooldown with their merit rewards.

i am very glad to see this closed off too.

nice to see that the DEVS (🎶 AHHHHH! 🎶) listen and make changes that reflect that. 😄

i feel now is a good time to ask when we will get a mullet hairdo option, daisy dukes cut-off jean shorts (female, male and huge options), finger pistol weapon customisation, food item related sword and titan weapons customisations (a baguette, a herring, a butter knife), etc... i have character customisation needs that are not being met! thank you! 😁

Do we know if the Oil from Oil Slick Arrow can be ignited by fire and energy? Flashbang and EMP Arrow may be able to ignite the slick if so (I can't quite make heads or tails of the city of data info the various oil slick entities).

oil slick does indeed ignite with fire and energy. in fact i use the magic origin apprentice charm to light it, if i have a /TA that does not have a fire/engergy power. i have a macro to target the oil slick and fire off the apprentice charm to light it. just click twice, once to target and once to fire off the charm

noticed this when i was leveling my arsenal/TA troller... under flashbang power description, it should say "chance to hit" and not "chance ot hit". 🙂

I'm sure that most of you have noticed that, over time, Homecoming has developed a speed run meta. It's largely gotten to the point that if someone advertises a TF/SF/Trial, a speed run is assumed. That's fine for those who enjoy speed running. I enjoy speed running myself on occasion, but not most of the time.

i do not find that this is the case, and i am on excelsior. in fact, when a person fills a team and then mentions that it will be a speed run, without advertising it as such, in my experience more often than not several people on the team will rebel against that. i cannot recall a case of someone ever falsely advertising a speed run. i find that most team leaders advertise on LFG exactly what their intentions are. most speed runs seem to be grouped around certain TFs; the WST specifically is the worst offender, but there are a few others. this is not to say that it does not happen, but 95% of the time i know if i am getting on a normal run or not.

i do try to counteract this kind of behavior by giving every person forming a team, even if it is a dfb, a three star rating and a note what the team was. if i randomly PUG with them more than 5 times they get a four star rating. but if they pull that old switcheroo, and announce it's a speed run after team formation, they get bumped down to two stars and a mean note. maybe even a one star if they are a jerk about it. but i look, every time, at who's forming teams. i will not team with someone that pulls a stunt like that. though there have been a fair number of cases where some teammate will act like it is a speed run, doing so without asking the team or the leader. people that do this automatically get a one star from me, a scathing note, and a possible ignore.

You can use pet_select_name to get around the ATO thing mentioned.

well, i'll be darned, it does work! we were having problems with line of sight and cross map TPs but this does seem to work correctly, in all instances of testing so far. thank you! 🙂

i made an arsenal control/trick arrow controller, and it really does not feel right to have both a rifle and a bow and to constantly switch between the two. as well, i have ideas for other arsenal control toons, but for a control set that does not actually use the rifle to shoot bullets, having only a rifle option for a weapon is a bit strange. both break the role playing (~~something or other, insert word late~~r 😅) immersion.

i would like to suggest the possibility of having both...

1) a crossbow-like option for an AC/TA controller combo, one that does not require a constant model switch

2) a launch tube/mortar-like or mace-like weapon for only controllers and non-AA dominators.

i am sure it is not easy, since those would probably require some animation substitutes, but it would be greatly appreciated. 🙂

other than that, i love the arsenal sets, just need more weapon options to help with RP purposes. 😁

I was trying it out on the test server, and the damage seems ... very awkward.

since it i a ranged AOE i would put in the annihilation set with the -res, and not much else, except maybe recharge. 🙂

the damage is wrong on the description though.

Hi! Is there a way I can make a macro to teleport my Singularity to target? I was playing around with it earlier and some how managed to teleport a friend to my Pet instead. Sadly I can't remember how I did it.

oops, i forgot to answer your question directly... 😄

no, you cannot target the singularity and another target to TP to at the same time. one target at a time, hence the reason for the macro that gives a location other than target. 😎

February 26

it has a -90% run speed debuff, etc, but nothing more. it does not accept slow enhancements, it is just built that way. sort of like how tar patch affects speed and accepts slow encs, but you cannot change the built-in -res effect. so in this case, LN does not accept slow encs, but it does accept AOE damage IO sets.

in fact, now looking around it is almost exactly like ice slick under ice control. 🙂

February 26

the funny thing is that i needed a similar macro for my singularity, but what i wanted to do is teleport it to myself with out having to find it. i wanted this because with my grav/time troller, i was always in the middle of the fight, using wormhole and foldspace to drop mobs on the tank, or myself. but the singularity was always away from the center and i wanted it in the middle of all the action.

i thought a simple macro would be easy enough, except it was not. i needed the macro to select the pet and then to TP it to me, with one button. the second part was easy. it was selecting the pet that proved difficult. the problem was that selecting the pet by name worked if the pet was in your LOS (line of sight), if it was being slow and you could not see it, you could not macro it automatically. it took a long time figuring this out and someone smarter than i finally figured it out for me. the petselect will choose the first pet on your pet list (0 is the first) and it does not need LOS, the singularity can be anywhere on the map. so the first click will be to select your first pet, and the second click will be to tp it to yourself.

hence, the macro 😎

/macro_image "Teleportation_Loyalist" TPsing "pet_select 0$$powexec_location me teleport target"

the one limit that i have found with this is with the troller ATO enc bonuses, they spawn temporary pets that occasionally take the number one place, instead of your singularity. but at the start of the fight you will probably not have these. this will only TP to yourself, since your target is the singularity. there are ways to fiddle with the destination, but those take others commands and make things much too complicated, but try this link.

i hope that helps! 😁

I'm getting this issue with lieutenants as well. "Waylay the robots before they leave the warehouse" from Stephanie Peebles +0x6 @ lvl 21. Just had a spawn with white lvl 21 minions, but three purple lvl 25 lieutenants: at least two of the three were Vortex Elite Adjutant. Possibly has to do with the Council revamp that shifted the Vortex level ranges?

for a more complete bug report, try to take photos if you can. so far i have only encountered archon bosses, or LTs if difficulty was lower. but other types encountered would be useful if documented.
🙂

February 25

can we get a fix for council LTs and Bosses that are appearing in striga missions that are too high for mission level and notoriety? specifically, council Archons, appearing as both bosses and LTs.

apparently, level 25 bosses and LTs in level 20+ missions, level 30 bosses in lvl 25+ missions, are regularly appearing in striga missions as documented by myself and others in my bug report.

February 25

just for science, i ran the first part of the ring of peebles ouro arc. same thing, first mission the boss was normal, the second with the council boss, was a fixed minimum of level 25. i guess i will do more arcs in striga to see how many more i can find. 🙂

The bug is also present in the Kheldian Quest, specifically "Fear and Loathing in Striga." I didn't capture the instant, but it was a named Archon. I think his name was Booker, the first guy you run into during "Investigate weapon test" in Part 1. The instance was level 25 with Adjust Level +0 and the enemy spawned at level 30. Fortunately I was able to teleport past him.

they must have changed several boss types and gave them new, higher minimums to spawn, without changing the missions that spawned them.

February 24

the follow up mission on the ring of peebles arc has a normal level named boss. i looked in at -1/0 because i wanted to see for sure.

Looks like the bug is affecting Lars Hanson's arc as well. I just did it on a 28 at +0x1 no bosses and the end of mission lieutenant always spawned at 30.

did you report it?

February 24

i decided to see if i could replicate this bugginess with an alt, luckily i had a lvl 19 that i could bump up to 20 in no time. same process, plastic toy army man is a hero, level 20, notoriety is set at 0/0 with bosses enabled. took the opening mission, kill 10 council on docks. started ring of peebles story arc, but it is yet another starting mission, defeat all villains on boat. same story, two bosses fighting, one sky raider normal level 20 boss, the other this time is archon nigel, again level 25. reset mission setting to no bosses and archon nigel still spawned as a level 25 even as a LT.
