    This is an easy fix though; if you don't know how to do it yourself I could take a few minutes and put together some corrected files for you if you like.

    If you could do that, that'd be greatly appreciated. I would love to know your entire method and config files for converting TGA files to textures. I'd love an easy way of putting more content in this thread.

    Minor issue with the teleport beacons: the alpha channels on the decorative 'flags' at the bottom edge of the Arcane beacons appear to be empty, causing the gaps to be filled with a black or white background that should be transparent:

    The alpha channel exists in the png file. I can attempt to convert them again, but I'm limited by the tool I was given. Can I ask what you're using to convert from png to texture?

    So I've installed all of these (Thank you for the work!)

    Slight problem with the teleport beacons though as they appear to be blank white screens.

    I'm not sure what is causing that. There must be something wrong with the textures I converted, not with what you're doing. If the textures hadn't been extracted to the right place, you would see nothing unusual at all, just the normal game texture.  I'll ask on the Ouro dev discord if anyone has seen this happen with the conversion tool.

     

    Edit: They suggested either the files were corrupt or there was a graphics setting causing it. Can you try to redownload the zip file and extract it overtop of what the trouble textures?

    I submitted a critique about the Roleplaying role colour to the #homecoming-feedback channel on Discord and it had some positive reactions. In case it didn't get seen, I'll add it here:

    Also, I like the new double-thick text outline, but it transitions very suddenly. Can it be made smoother?

    Focused Feedback: Tank Updates

    in [Open Beta] Focused Feedback

    I like these changes. The endurance change will help endurance hogs (Dark Armor), opening up more choices for Ancillary and Incarnate powers to them. The buff to Cone/AOE will help proliferate less popular melee powersets now that they can compete with Footstomp. The only suggestion I have is to apply the Cone/AOE buffs to all such powers and cap them at a maximum rather than blocking some powers from being buffed entirely. It feels odd that a 90 degree cone is now wider than a 100 degree cone. Just cap them both at 180.

    Well it seems pretty clear that all the controversy over the Rage crash hasn't hurt Super Strength's popularity very much.

    Invulnerability and Super Strength are the most iconic superhero power combination. Nobody flies around with a Superman tribute thinking, "Stone/Katana Tanker. Nailed it!"

    • Thanks 2

    Please revert the Rage change.

    As for rage: nothing that gets proposed will ever make everyone happy, but here is another thought for consideration, one that is more likely to hit Justin at some point:

     

    Rage will no longer crash if it isn’t stacked. Activating Rage while still under the effect of a previous activation would insure that the previous application crashes. To make it easier to use, there would be a marker, potentially a colored ring, that would indicate that the power is ready to be used without triggering the crash.

     

    Anyone that feels the crash is worth the penalty, can set it to auto and make it recharge as fast as they feel like it. 

    Please, please not this. A button that wants my attention, but which I'm not supposed to click? And if I invest in recharge bonuses, it's going to be there until I do click it? I'm going to have anxiety over accidentally clicking Rage when it's already active.

     

    You want to balance a single buff for two different groups (Tanks and DPS). Impossible. As a Tanker, I just want to be able to enjoy Super Strength without a defense crash. This weird, social engineering "don't click me!" ring is not the way, but I have an idea for you.

     

    Super Strength Stances!

    Defensive Stance -- Rage grants a greatly reduced damage buff, still stacks with high recharge if you have it, but no longer has a defense crash.

    Offensive Stance -- Rage behaves like it does on the Homecoming live servers, defense crash included.

     

    Stance cannot be changed while Rage is active.

    Please lighten the Roleplaying role!

    Please consider lightening the purple hue used for Roleplaying names. I don't have great eyesight and I can't make out any names using this role. It's made roleplaying a literal headache.

     

    On Homecoming Live servers, look how dark the purple role is:

    Can you lighten it more like the default blue and other roles? Something more like this mock-up:

    High Visibility Mouse Cursors

    Busy screens can make you lose track of your mouse cursor. These cursors should stand out a little more. There are a few variants. If you have requests for different styles, please let me know. I made these back in 2011 and have since lost the original PSD files.

    Installation

    These texture packs are completely safe and reversible. Just extract the folder structure directly to your main game location.

    As an example, the folder structure of my teleporter beacon pack should resemble this:

     

    <game location>\data\texture_library\WORLD\V_COV\Bases\Details\Functional\base_tele_aux\

    <game location>\data\texture_library\WORLD\V_COV\Bases\Details\Functional\base_tele_arc_aux\
