[Name release]

Released the name Kanaha (Hawaiian for mirror or reflect), and found the name Psalmist available. Would be great for a musical/symphonic character.

This is my Bio/Claws Tanker, inspired by Wolverine, the Winter Soldier, and a bit of Captain America

 

This is a great homage character, clearly inspired by those you listed, but you made it your own. Nice work, love it!

Jumping on the Marine Affinity bandwagon; meet Seaslinger

This is the first tech-themed Orca character I've seen and I'm in love, great work Jawbreaker!

Just wanted to pop in and say thank you to OP and everyone who has contributed to this thread. All this info has been incredibly helpful in my badging, y'all are the best!

How do you feed Blarf for the badge? Is it just by petting/interacting with it?

okay, thats pretty cool but i think a feature like this would work better if we had more slots for Auras so we can properly mix and match Auras

 

Agreed, love this option but having an Aura 1 and Aura 2 slot would be amazing.

basically already doable, isnt it?

 

In a limited way yes, but here's a couple of things I'd like to do with a Skin Spectrum option:

 

-the ability to put patterns over Spectrum (ie: choose bare chest option under chest, it shows your spectrum color skin, then apply a pattern over. Would give you the ability to create a Dr. Manhatten wearing speedos look. I'm not saying we all need speedos, but that's the idea of the look I'm picturing, ha!

 

-allow costume items that have a skin option, like the Barbarian Iron->Skin under gloves, you'd get your spectrum skin under that bracer instead of a regular skin color.

Edit: I've got to get better at screenshotting! Why do my characters and everything look great, sharp and crisp, then I go to upload and they look fuzzy? 

 

Here's a couple of characters I'm proud to showoff 🙂

 

Axeslinger

Paragon City FD's newest fire-fighter technology was, well supposed to be the PCFD FF 1.0. Able to survive extreme conditions, equipped with a myriad of sensors for locating survivors, PCFD FF 1.0 was the pinnacle of fire fighting technology. I say "was" because apparently all it takes is a single electrical short for the AI to go haywire. Now calling itself the "Axeslinger", this fire-fighting mech fancies itself Paragon City's newest superhero, sigh. Good luck with your newest AI, axe wielding superhero Paragon!

 

 

Ol Razzle Dazzle

Step right up and see the wonders of this gifted magician! Where does he get these powers, is he even from our world, our solar system, our dimension?! Are these funny parlor tricks or reality bending wonders? Time to give 'em the Ol Razzle Dazzle!

 

 

 

[New Costume Pieces Request]

I know mechanically this isn't an easy one, but here goes: Spectrum skin color.

Idea: at the top of the skin color selection screen there would be a checkbox for "Spectrum", if you select that box you get Spectrum color skin and the skin colors are replaced with the normal color selection.

I’m not as well versed in the game’s mechanics to say it as good as Dispari, but excellent work there and I pray you are listened to.

[Focused Feedback: Tanker AT Changes]

Ugh.

 

I know a lot of people on the forums were bemoaning tanks overtaking brutes.  A few years ago it was brutes overtaking tanks.

 

I really don't like all of these changes to powers and ATs and critters that we have played with for years, sometimes decades.  Make new stuff as different as you like but please leave the old stuff alone.  Please?  Pretty please?

 

 

Agreed on this. Seems like a pretty severe reaction to Tanks finally becoming more popular. I'm really hoping most of these changes don't make it through as they're being tested currently, they're a huge step in the wrong direction in my opinion.

[What AT is best for tanking multiple groups? 'cause "Tank" ain't it.]

Regarding the discussion about Tanks at high level being less necessary; in my experience having a good Tanker on any team makes everything go smoother.

[What AT is best for tanking multiple groups? 'cause "Tank" ain't it.]

Since well before Live servers shutdown my main Lightslinger, Energy/Energy Blaster could peel aggro off Tankers. I don't think it's a Homecoming specific thing. And even if an extra group gets tagged, the minions and lieutenants should be defeated almost instantly, allowing the Tanker to reestablish aggro.

 

As for keeping all the aggro off the squishies, if they're attacking or buffing/debuffing, at least a little aggro will always go their way.

Those are amazing Ston, excellent work!

[Neo-Shivans Prestige Costume Power]

I've already got the classic Shivan hologram for my friendly neighborhood Shivan Globert, but I'd love the option to also buy a Neo-Shivan hologram. They're so cool looking, and it would be a bonus if we could have the different color options as well.

 

 

 

[X-Men '97]

Absolutely loving X-Men 97 so far, amazing what they've accomplished. 

 

I'm hoping they're using this as a blueprint for how to use mutants in the MCU.

That's what's great about it! 

I've found that engaging the person and bringing up infringment just leads to childish outburts, so I do this instead. 

 

You should just get yourself a macro for /getglobalname $target

Some of us even chat you to say 'kewl costume' just to get your character name, global name, and petition you for harrassment/conduct - specifically to get you in front of the GMs...

 

Ugh, I send "Awesome look" or "Cool costume!" tells all the time when I pass by a great looking character, I hope this idea doesn't spread and people think I'm reporting them.

[Energy/Atomic Ranged Build Help]

That's super helpful, can't wait to try it out sounds fun.

I recommend Combat Teleport (with Macros) to support the Atomic Blapping/PBAoE. It should be possible to build up a fun sort of synergy with the knockback of the Energy primary with the close-combat of Atomic.

 

Ooh, never done that before and it sounds super fun, I'll give that a shot thanks.

[Energy/Atomic Ranged Build Help]

I agree Tidge, he's already my main and my first character rolled up here at Homecoming. I'll take some blapping, sure.  I appreciate the insight, very informative.

[Energy/Atomic Ranged Build Help]

Hello blaster friends! Needing some help building out my main, Lightslinger. Energy/Atomic, prefer ranged fighting and flying almost always except for Nova time. Durable as can be without crippling damage, required powers are Hover, Flight, and Evasive Maneuvers.

 

Build and advice are much appreciated, thanks in advance!

 

Update: forgot to include, need KB-KD in pretty much all KB powers. I know I know, energy blast is what the original Lightslinger was so I stuck with it, but not a fan of KB.

[RWZ Base rework has done more harm than good...]

Agreed, mission waypoints for Tinpex feels pretty borked at the moment.

[Increase the Opacity on Tops with Skin]

This has always kept me from using lighter colors, especially for masks. I'd love to see this change!
