What @Rudra said above, interrupts don’t shorten activation times, just makes the window where you can be interrupted during that animation time smaller.

I did the first 3 missions of Alexander the Great’s arc, looking forward to going through more of it. It’s extremely well written!

Thanks so much for the reply! sounds like you guys had to reverse engineer the system, which is how it looks like it was being done with CoD. I’m assuming the powers team is looking at the same hex format that I came across (I haven’t actually been able to access the actual data yet because the code I found isn’t working right now and it was written in Rust, which I have no experience in)

I just did the first mission and he spawned as a boss (I have avs/bosses off) so yeah, he’s an EB)

I haven’t played any of the new content yet, but are you sure you have AVs turned on? If you don’t, they’ll downgrade to EBs

I’ve gone down a rabbit hole with this one… So, uberguy is MIA so there is no foreseeable update to City of Data 2.0 i has the idea of potentially trying to re-create CoD a 3rd time with the little bit of open source code that still exists… then it hit me: we have devs that are not tied to a for-profit studio anymore. Rather than try to reverse engineer and parse hex code data that is in the various .bin files, can we just get a view of the tables that the dev team uses to manipulate powers before they’re compiled? My research tells me that on live, all of this data was in spreadsheets that were then exported to .def files for testing before finally being compiled into .bin files and compressed into .pigg files. I suspect that a similar process is being used now. So, my suggestion is: can we get a site that has an export of these spreadsheets into table format? Then players will always have the most accurate data available for items like arcanatime and other fields that are not available in game. I am not suggesting a complex site setup, simply access to a database where some intrepid player could, if they wanted, create a complex site and just pull the data. Anyway, lots of rambling, and I don’t have high hopes for this, but one can dream.

Before the two powers were merged, recall friend had an interrupt

Nope, the interrupt period is only there when you’re targeting an enemy.

oh, I’m right there with you, especially since there are only 2 control sets that dinged with “well, I guess I’m not using my passive”

I feel like someone else just brought up this very topic only a few days ago, and other people chimed in and said it was working for them. I’ve de-googled my life, so I can’t say if it works or not. I can tell you the official site is the first result for me in duckDuckGo though. you could try using this as your search parameter site:homecomingservers.com whatever query and see if that works.

Then there’s your answer. Unfortunately, this game predates emojis so some things that seems so common place today just don’t work in City.

Sleep is great, except for the past 21 years where you couldn’t do anything to the sleeping target, so it’s not an effective tool against EBs unless you use it with the intention of hitting rest right away.

You could attempt to copy and paste it into the box, but my suspicion is that won’t work.

I wonder where that went wrong… I’ve done several all illusion ITFs and all of them went smoothly, other than Rommy being a track star.

Fine, then how would “great wealth” affect gameplay. and no, you can’t say “you start with x inf “ because inf is not technically money.

Leaving mind and arsenal control out in the cold.

I don’t know about Mids, but the damage resistance wasn’t changed in game.

I feel like I had issues with him on my Rad/StJ tank. he’s a tough cookie

I’ve got 3 tanks planned: Regen/Savage (I want to do claws, but I don’t really mesh with the set, so savage it is) Enegy/Staff - turns out I have 2 MA/Ninjitsu scrappers, so I took everything off of one and am rebuilding him with this Psi/Enegy - I’ve been vacillating on secondary for this guy. Concept really calls for Psi Melee, but i find the set too stuttery for my liking, Enegy can be recolored enough to look like Psi Armor and flows a little better. I don’t actually know which of those 3 I’m most excited about…. The two tanks that I *am* super excited about are: electric/electric Dark/Katana Both of which are already at 50. My Electric/Electric is one of my go-to happy characters and the increase in survivability means I can push his build towards a little more damage. i love the concept of my Dark/Katana, but feel Dark Armor’s weakness right now. I’m not looking forward to the Respecs I have to do, but I am looking forward to the end product.

There’s already a Nemesis lore pet

I find it funny that you complain about people specifically saying Dark Souls when the whole genre you’re referring to (and you even used the word) is called “SOULSlike” (At least for me) referring to Dark Souls is shorthand because, while I know harder games exist, I can’t tell you the names of any because that genre doesn’t interest me.

Does it not use the other 4 powers? Pretty sure everything it has gets used right now, and if that’s the case, why nerf it?

I haven’t had any issues on my end this week, so I suspect it’s not the game. what people tend to forget is that there is more to it than just player and server. If any of the links between player and server are having issues, then you’ll also have an issue. And these links will be different for different locations. Since I read somewhere that both Google and Cloudflare have had issues this week, I’m thinking that’s the culprit.

Not sure how possible it is for a fix, I have a feeling if it was a straightforward thing it would have been fixed by now. i would absolutely love to see these powers be fixed, however.

Not entirely true. If you clear a mission in 5 minutes, you can do 6 missions in the time it takes the person who does it in 30, so you get ~6x the rewards. I’m guessing most people don’t say “it doesn’t matter if it takes 5 minutes or 30, I’m only doing 1 mission” and are more likely to say “I’ve got 30 minutes to play”
