Whew! Hell of a photoshoot to cap-off our time moonlighting as the motliest batch of superheroes around (or supervillains depending on which weeks you preferred to play).Across all locales we visited in both Paragon City on Blueside, and our short stint back to our well-decorated supervillain base on Redside, I ended up taking a total of 915 photos, curated further down to just ("just") /33/ fit for publication to the thread. A few alt-takes included in that count, granted, but still a respectable amount of variety on display.
As is always the case with these batch-uploads, they'll largely be posted sans any flavor text, barring a chronology marker attached to each post. Surely (You) know the drill by now.We've quite a lot to get through, so for one final round, lettuce begin.

Oh damn, thanks. Looks like you guys already played through a bunch of the MMOs I'd have been interested in.
This always seemed like a cool project that I occasionally remember exists but I've never partook in it myself.

My two cents of anecdotal evidence after three years on Homecoming. The population has dropped painfully in the past two years, there was an increase with the "We're official!" post - which HC still has not shown any proof of, outside of their own forum post saying "Trust us bro." From a day to day players perspective, most people logged in just idle in bases all day because you can not AFK timeout, either ERPing or swapping between discord channels or just talking in General/LFG/Help. Pub team recruiting has slowed to a crawl, the busiest LFG seems to get is when people advertise a fire arm and AE is nothing more than farmers and ERPers who do not have one of the public base codes or who want to use local for cybersex. Homecoming also keeps butchering power sets for some unknown reason with their "balance" changes. Thunderspy is not perfect, but it and Rebirth feel so much better to play as an actual game. The HC community - especially on Everlasting, is a bunch of gooners, bitter old people who no life the game, fashionista types, name collectors and people who just want to talk about how cool they were 10+ years ago when it was a live game.

Patch notes for the next homecoming patch are outnew powerset- Light Support ( Lots of chain effects here, and a spotlight power)
New powerset- Sonic Armor ( damage res, -res aura, double taunt auras, multiple +Absorbs and a fancy teleport power that teleports mobs around you to where you want to teleport and then damages and knocks everything. One of the coolest powers in the game - the idea is to bring little shit with you from one spawn to the next spawn.)
Major Powerset Reworks - Empathy, Forcefield, Sonic Support, Traps - SUPER STRENGTH . Rage now makes your powers cost more but several powers gain a cleave effect called SMASH. Super Strength brute is gonna be ungodly strong - they are pushing a fan favorite power on purpose.Some new customization options- Wings that only appear during flight mode , eye beams for several energy blast powers, drudge facesMajor Content Drops - NEW WING OF LABRYNTH OF FOG
new Dota style pvp - gives XP - designed by the labrynth of fog Dev. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OJZvXJNQN8&list=PLIOP1yWctCPAMLx4RnmVC3h5V-kekO5x6&index=2
New version of the citidel task force
New story arc in kallisti wharf ( homecoming story arcs are really god damn good I can never get people to play this shit. I can get people to play +7 difficulty with no level boosts every time even though its absolutely sadomasocistic with 5% damage dealt and 95% more damage tanken but i can never get people to play the fucking 12 custom taskforces wtf community retards)Labrynth of Fog is the best thing this game has ever had by a massive gap. I am still shocked the HC devs made something this godly, especially the derpy comic book dude who hangs out in pocket D turning into a KamiDev

I think the funny thing about this is that in 2023, Thunderspy's host Brain lost his shit and said the staff was ignoring player complaints and just doing whatever they wanted while ignoring the players. His complaints got buried because he said all that in the middle of what was otherwise a spergout, but it was all true.

Heal OtherNow has an "overheal" Absorb Shield that lasts 10s.
Animation changed, reduced from 2.27s to 1.17s, and now applies the healing earlier in the animation.
This converts any healing beyond the target's Max HP into an Absorb layer at 50% of the heal's strength
For example, if you heal for 30hp and your ally is at 80/100 HP, you will heal the 20 and the remaining 10 / 2 = 5 Overheal shield.
If your target is at full health, they will be shielded for 15 Absorb (30 / 2 = 15)Healing AuraNow has an "overheal" Absorb Shield that lasts 10s.

Reduced regeneration from scale 5 to scale 3.75. Max HP increases regeneration amounts, so total regeneration is roughly the same.

Repel strength now scales inversely to the distance. It used to be mag 10 for the whole 25 radius. Now it is mag 10 within the first 9', mag 5 up to 15', and mag 1 up to 25'. This makes it more predictble in terms of placing enemies right at the edge of the field.
ForceField_ForceBubble.png Damping BubbleIncreased -Strength effects from scale 1.0 to 1.5 (except for Defense strength which goes from 0.5 to 0.75)
Now also gives targets a scale 0.5 -Tohit Debuff, Defense Debuff, Regeneration Debuff, Perception Debuff, and a scale 0.1 slow

Homecoming can barely be called proper City of Heroes anymore. From the terrible balance butchering, addition of new powers that are broken and the "new content" arcs that are low quality, middle schooler who just discovered Random XD humor and Deviantart-tier bad in terms of quality. Homecoming is like those WoW private servers that add ridiculous nonsense, but at least the WoW servers do not pretend to be officially licensed and canon to the real game.

Oh and by the way
Pets still get stuck on stairs and random level geometry. If you go to a cave map then they get stuck on nothing. Senpai has shared stats on what characters have hit level 50 and Mastermind is still a bottom pick.
All that effort doing MM customization for what?>inb4 but pets teleporting to you!!!
Actually run Mastermind in a team (Imperious Task Force is great for this, a lot of early missions are in caves) and see how it works out.
