Yep, that one of the plaques added for the new Bicentennial badge. A few of the others got neat sculptures or the like but I don't think any other plaque got something as snazzy as a whole new zone entrance.

It's also worth noting that, once you've unlocked Cimerora, you can get there via the Ouroboros portal. I'm not sure when that got added.

For whoever wants to answer: what have you guys been up to? Still working on video games or did you move on to something else?

Yeah, even in a still photo that raised leg is weirding me out.

So happy to see some of the old gang here.

"Liefeld's Just Feet" Now I have to see this movie. 🤣

You mean like how you asserted back at the start of this thread that anyone who objects to the name purge is one of those ebil name campers? Physician heal thyself.

I just ran into the same issue. The solution is to copy the chunk to your clipboard then use "Legacy Import" under File.

People here know what a devil's advocate is. They just aren't impressed by the arguments you're offering. It's not a magical get out of criticism free card.

/r/Cityofheroes existed long before Homecoming did.

What happens when, a month from now, some new player uses search to find money-making advice and lands on this post? It's a good thing some people decided to point out its flaws even it the OP was a troll. Also, Poe's law doesn't get April 1st off. On the small chance that they're on the level, it's good to at least try to educate them.

I always start with a concept. It might be a name, or a power combo, or a theme but there's always a starting point. Usually that concept will also point me toward a particular look. However, sometimes I simply have no clear idea what the character should look like. On those occasions I've used the random button for inspiration. It's never to make the full costume though. Hit the button, look over the results, see if anything catches my fancy. Once something does, work from there to finish out the costume.

Just saw this one. It was definitely flawed but not as bad as the buzz had lead me to fear. Certainly less of a mess that Love & Thunder. PROs: Kamala is just delightful. Carol Danvers is much less wooden that she was in Captain Marvel. Nick Fury isn't sleepwalking through this one like he did in Secret Wars. They made good use of Goose. That Bollywood number was hilarious. The post-credits scene. CONs: Way too much plot crammed into too little runtime. Too much audience homework expected. I've seen Wandavision and Ms. Marvel. If I hadn't, the movie gave me little reason to care about Kamala or Monica. Monica is still lacking in development. As a fan of her version of Captain Marvel, I find this particularity annoying.

Super Tech, Artifact, and Resource Transfer

Same here.

That people think something is a problem doesn't actually prove it is one. It also doesn't mean that the solution those people have dreamed up is a good one.

Unfortunately no. Only members of the Super Group can access storage bins.

I'm not privy to Homecoming's plans for the future but I'd guess that having a license from the IP owner makes a number of things easier. Server hosting, for example, can now search for a combination of price and reliability without having to prioritize "doesn't care about piracy". Openly advertising our existence is another possibility. And I know of a least one person who's more willing to make an account thanks to the cloak of legitimacy the license provides.

Seems to me all the drama is coming from the folks insisting the impossible really isn't. Yeah, okay, maybe it's not absolutely impossible if we had NCSoft's cooperation. But we don't. Indeed that database was scrubbed precisely because NCSoft demanded it.

Here's the problem with that, as I understand it. The character database was just that: a data base of characters. It didn't contain any account information because it came from Paragon Studios, who never had access to that info. Instead, when you logged in the NCSloft account server verified your ID then passed along a token to Paragon saying, essentially, "this is legitimate user XYZ". The secret squirrel server could figure out whose account was whose by simply looking up the character names. Something you can do when you run a tiny private shard full of people you've personally vetted. It's not a process you can scale up to a public server the size of Rebirth or Thunderspy, much less Homecoming. Even if the data base did still exist, there's no quick and simple way to just hand everyone back their characters.

Uh, no. The term "Mary Sue" originates in a Star Trek fan fiction written in 1974. It definitely precedes Vash.

Supposedly that data was either erased or turned over to NCsoft as a sacrifice to keep them from coming after SCoRe once word got out.

Some new insight into the mystery:
