  1. Whether the person is new or veteran, always an opportunity for positive community engagement and sharing the link to the policy/terms on the topic. As for the people that ask, I think it is just CYA or assurance that if you broadcasted 30 seconds of a costume contest you don't get banned or contribute to COH going away again. On a similar but different topic that repeats, I am certain at any moment there is a going to be a post for "how can I get my characters back from Live servers?"
  2. Ty for taking time out to organize this update it was a good 20th anniversary.
  3. I still believe all these years later there is no wrong way to play COH. Solo/ group, easy/difficult settings, same old build/new weird builds etc etc. However, there are less optimal methods to play with less reward or less personal joy. Do I want to be critical of those methods? Yes, because I am an old evil judgmental starfish. No, I want to encourage new and old players to replay the COH content and look through the game with a different lens each time… or replay the game in a comfortable familiar way. You damn kids will do whatever you want anyway.
  4. Humans are great at mangling communication. Jargon and terminology can be hard. I mangle technical terms or sentence structure all the time. My sister has not rebooted her router for her ISP in 2 years and thinks she needs to pay a guy at Best Buy $50 to do it and then they sell her another copy of anti-virus. She had a power loss, it was no biggee, you just unplug and replug in and 5 minutes later the red light is blinking green again. Now she calls me or I do it now and then. She also will not reboot her computer unless at gun point. Ah well, I hope you get a resolution. 🙂
  5. Sometimes you have to take a holistic approach and ask all the questions. Even the crazy ones like what changed or why does x seem to happen when I do y. I want to say I have read on here VPN, college campuses and other unique living situations that have caused some players internet service provider isp frustration. Sometimes the people with the power over the firewall will budge and make it a little less restrictive. Or they tell you no. An online acquaintance gets better COH connectivity at a coffee shop / work place than her small town municipal provided ISP. I thought it was strange but then I had to call their customer service unrelated to COH and it was the most eye opening experience into customer dis-service. They just don’t care or don’t have the man power to help on anything. I want to say back on live satellite ISPs in part of the globe cause lag or no good connections too. Personally I would rather have a wired desktop with too much RAM over a wireless laptop any day of the week but that’s another can of worms.
  6. Shortguy, what is the problem you are trying to solve?
  7. Thank you COH Homecoming volunteers and player community.
  8. @Conviction did the Q&A answers happen yet with the developers or still coming up?
  9. Ooooh yeah!!! Memory is fuzzy but is there a second badge in a burning tanker nearby?
  10. My pic was already stated by Grey Cat... I am surprised those art assets / zone look did not turn up elsewhere in the game.... maybe that spine/rib cage is that same one on a Peregrine Island. My second favorite is the Sky Raider base out in the water that looks like a bit of an oil drill platform. There is something about the different levels with the pop out turret guns, the chaos from the flying villains and sharp corners where ground based heroes can run into a wipeout... you get your way to the top only to get likely overwhelmed with a undisciplined group, archvillains and just more chaos. My third favorite.... has to be everything Cimerona above ground. ok not a mission map, but happy with the expanded zone from the ITF into the zone - it is beautiful. I felt that was better than the dark Mot inspired Dark Astoria renovation. Ok, I said I would not do more than two but my fourth nomination is actually the destroyed Galaxy City. I have gone from offended Galaxy is gone to liking that map. The original tutorial was so clunky. I kind of hope there is some Incarnate related destroyed Galaxy City zone with those blue jello monsters coming soon.
  11. I have never seen a prompt once. Other websites? Yes. I want to punch a hole through my monitor every time I go to other sites.
  12. 20 years!!! I am one old starfish who has to adjust his bifocals to read the screen. Proposed new in-zone event: Clear out Atlas Park from villains trying to collect in front of Ms Liberty and the Atlas Statue. Reward: "You Damn Kids Stay Off my Lawn" badge.
  13. you just need to know when to cut it short before negativity impacts yourself or the team. "gosh, it's late, you must be tired, see you later" You then just identify the global and avoid.
  14. What are you reading?
  15. i spilled my wet burrito into my keyboard\
  16. The ship has sailed on that data. I miss the data and my game time is easily half to live. the COH players always far friendly and fewer jerks. As a computer unfriendly person and casual game player I find leveling in homecoming far easier than live. There are a good number of groups that runs community events and pugs. One of the serves plays a lot of night hamidon raids or under 20 content for people. Maybe it is my memory but there are way more base events and organic player events compared to live.
  17. Nice article. tldr I prefer to not engage in Reddit either. My heart simply does not need to go to a place online that ultimately makes me hate the topic I looked up.
  18. Thank you for COH
  19. that last one stunk something awful.
  20. Maybe it’s me… tank super strength and invulnerability and after about 20 crank up difficulty to x4 +3 and after a while all the way up. I slot for damage resistance. I have maxed out recipes or salvage not paying attention in a mission.
  21. I just went through this but a dominator except I could not hurt her. I could mez her to stand there but no good way to bring her health down. I broke down and finally pulled in a 3 person pug.
  22. As homecoming person can I go create a character over there? Open to anyone to play? Anything cool or different or is it just self-contained server?
  23. Thank you for another month of excellence.
