I am still fatigued at years of too much Praetoria back on Live while Prime earth was neglected. Development on Praetoria for zone concepts, new art assets and game flow were really good but never seen by the people who only played heroes. However… yeah if there is a passionate developer with something new - stick it on Primal Earth too!

I do not log the hours I used to but I still check in for updates. I simply love this game and eternally grateful for the friends in real life I have made all over the world. For those that moved on I wish them fondly wherever they may be. I believe there is still gas in this game's tank to innovate, engage players of all ages with positive family friendlier content and be a source of inspiration and creativity. I have always liked the Mission creator, the super group base system improvements introduced by Homecoming or even simply fan art. Regardless of disagreements of the day this community still comes together. I like to think this is one place that can do more to bring people together and not divide us.

What costume parts would you like to see added to the game?

ugly Christmas sweater collection with 8bit Arachnos graphics. -
In the absence of absolute answers you can create your own content honestly. When in doubt, be creative- it's not like there is the Lore Police to hunt you down. Q1) I think you get to design your own - There are several characters mentioned in lore that may not actually make appearances in game or the comic books. Comics | City of Heroes Rebirth Q2) Siren's call is in the hero's city.... the Villains come in via sub/helicopter to the purple zone in Randall's Ruins. Siren's Call | City of Heroes Wiki | Fandom Here is a big map of Paragon city - I think a generic "Paragon Bay"?? Citymap-i26.jpg (3352×2172) Q3) -Yeah, let's just say the two remaining rigs and variety of boats could be anything. Lol a little more lore here. Siren's Call | City of Heroes Wiki | Fandom Here some generic oil rig terminology too... bay/basin/beds Oil platform - Wikipedia Best of luck with your creative endeavor !

Did the warriors revamp or return of Hero Corp get shelved? -
Post it here! There are players who have immersed in this game since 2004. Plus read not only the wiki page for the zone but each marker/landmark./badge. There could be tidbits there too.

Superman is nothing to me. There should be a Starro movie and no, not that chump starfish from Suicide Squad. I think i only counted 4 arms on him anyway.

My father was from that generation of blue collar guys that worked and worked. My father cashed out vacation time rather than take time off. He never once called in sick or did physicals/wellness because he felt it was not worth his time -- please go to the doctor when you do not feel good. Take a day off to recuperate. Take care of yourself and don't mask issues with alcohol or drugs. Follow the symptoms and signals and get checked out for both routine or emerging small things. My father did not and he was gone in less than a month when his cancer did become all too obvious Memorial Day '94.

Homecoming Server Update (April 28th): City of Heroes' 21st Anniversary
starro replied to Widower's topic in Announcements
Forever my favorite mmo game!!! Thanks to this game Back on live I traveled to weddings and played regular with a group of about 50 people. Wherever those players are today- I hope them the best!!!! -
I get negative feedback on playing in game groups too but I like the idea, especially as mastermind pets. Not sure if the Family, Rikti or snake bodies would get old too quick.

Do not take it personal. The game is protecting itself from unwanted examination by outside parties. I have been generic'd on many names on live but only once on HC. I thought LIVE was more restrictive than HC as most of those characters were not played in months! I gueesed they ran some sort of script to scour the database for some criteria. All you can do is roll with it. Maybe there is some sort of Eternal Phoenix game or character out there in movies/comics culture we have not heard about but the GM knows it and wants to avoid any copyright infringement. I say open a ticket and ask for a freebie respec in light of the situation and maybe a GM will grant or not. OR get your character to 25/35/45 for the next respec trial or email inf between characters, etc. or ask a guildmate for some spare inf.

What would you do if you were a DEV?! (Fun Ideas Talks)
starro replied to SSR's topic in General Discussion
Pretending unlimited time, money and resources.... Restart Signature Story Arcs (5-7 part stories) released monthly/bimonthly. Something that adds new lore with guest authors. Revamp Synapse Task Force into a two-parter like positron with more fun than a lot of kill missions Revamp the Hero Respec Trial with a harder mode. Make Hazard Zones a destination for each level - I liked the Striga revamp and even the smaller Boom Town revamp. Moon Base! -
Yeah it can be a grind. Maybe try teaming or increasing team size/difficulty to spice it up.

Complete crash at random times, haven't found a reason yet. Help!
starro replied to Spookeriffic's topic in Help & Support
When Homecoming came back I had terrible crashes like 1-5 times an hour. It was a tough run circa 2019-2021 but HC team's best improvement was the introduction of the Homecoming client. Here's some old thoughts from over the years supporting friends or old SG guild mates. There was an old game loader called Tequila but the new Homecoming client is better. This alone fixed 90% of my problems. The move from 32 bit to 64 bit OS even further fixed my issues. Homecoming Launcher - Homecoming The Homeccoming client has a crash detector DIAG client. That might help out and give data to share with support and more technical people. If you are a Linux or Mac player there are some sub forums that can help. I am a boring Windows person. I recommend updated video/Network card and processor drivers but not all the time and sometimes it is good to stay on NOT the latest and greatest. I have had the most updaated drivers fix and cause issues. I once updated video drivers and something did not get along with COH as the graphics looked really bad until I had to rollback to a previous version. Another time I HAD to update my network card drivers to fix rubber banding that just .... started one day. Awful week as I thought my computer was dying in general. Close out of other programs when you play and re-introduce one at a time in case there is something going on. I play on very old computer and she no longer keeps up watching the news and COH on the second monitor some days. If you do not reboot your computer, I recommend a daily reboot no matter if it hurts. While I am at it a monthly home router reboot never hurts monthly too. I also recommend wired internet over wireless if that is an option. If wireless is your only option try another trusted wireless internet spot outside of your home. A friend in a dormitory situation simply could not play COH but at a local library it ran fine. Every now and then a verify or repair on the game client. There are three periods in the lower right corner of HC client launch This old game sometimes just needs that refresh. Old Wn Vista story - I once had something self destruct so bad I had to install to a new \coh2 folder, I could not get past the logon/password screen. I cannot explain it but something in that \coh folder would allow me to connect but I did not want to lose my AE, costumes and files until I moved them over. Finally, no very full hard drives.... if you have a very full hard drive might be time to clean up old files. The more technical people probably have an army further of ideas. -

No I don’t bitterly remember being locked out of the event. COH fans never hold a grudge. -

Take 'em out first. A weak PUG group will fall apart when the surgeons keep healing from a long range. Now I want to run an ITF so I can cry in beer over the xp i am not getting from <2% of the TF.

Aww. I missed this outbreak of spsmmers. Not really, but Ty volunteers for the clean up.

I love the numbers. I think in years past it was described as a labor of love and not a quick task. Thank you again. LOVE THE ROADMAP! Of course subject to change. Oh, yeah all those Khledians will simply have to go.
