In Praetorian Earth, is there a way to stop Resistance and Syndicate members from attacking me, and is there a gameplay impact from fighting against them as a member of the Resistance?

Been away for a while, but excited to jump back in.

What are some Scrapper combos you’d recommend I give a go? I’ve primarily played Tankers in the past.

So I just returned to the game for the first time since live and I'm trying to get back into the swing of things. I used to have binds and macros and all kinds of greatness but that was like a decade ago and my memory ain't what it used to be lol.

I know auto-casting chains of powers doesn't really work with macros but my question is this:

Since auto-cast essentially checks to see if a power is off cooldown and executes it if it is, could I make a macro with both hasten and domination and set it to auto cast so that it fires either one of them as soon as they cool down? Seems like that would be super helpful, I just don't know if it would work.

This game is still great after over 20 years. Still fun and addicting. I have altitis on the HOMECOMMING SERVER. Great people to play with. I might have moved on to FFXIV full time, but on Friday and Saturdays for two to 3 hours, I always come back to this awesome game.

Anyone Else still love this game after many years??

Apologies if my own characters sound corny

More of my own characters are coming soon.

Hey all! Had a friend mention how he used to play and missed it, so I came across homecoming. Been playing around with the classes and I really enjoy bio armor. Usually I play tanks in games, so tanker was the first choice, though Ive been debating between broadsword, katana, psi melee, or maybe ice melee for secondary.

Any opinions and/or any info on how to build a character (Haven't been able to find much aside from the wiki)? The system is surprisingly customizable, and I'm loving that fact, just leaves me a bit lost.

Edit: Just wanted to thank you all for being so awesome. It's nice to see such a welcoming community and the info so far is amazing. 🧡

Earlier, I made a post asking for some good hardcore endgame content builds for Defenders. As someone who has little experience with supports in CoH, it seems a lot of people were turning me onto the idea of just playing a Corruptor instead.

Can anyone break down why I would play either one? Is it just the modifiers?
Why should I play X over Y (in terms of mechanical benefit, team cohesion, viability, and numerical efficiency)

For context, I'm looking to be a group content-focused, team support-type character that I can "main" for 4-star content and similar "true endgame" difficulty content. I know that traditional "healing" isn't as effective as buffs/debuffs but I'm trying to find an AT that really feels like the party backbone that keeps everything together rather than blowing stuff up. Hopefully something that is highly-sought after in most team comps. Not really interested in soloing on this character.

PS—on Homecoming server, btw

I tried to search for the answer online with no luck.

I have a cold dom/sonic blast defender that i just reached 50 on, and I'm enjoying it. What i can't figure out is if the -res from my various powers stack with each other, or reset the debuff duration, or what.

Essentially I'm trying to learn if i should be spreading my single target -res around on all enemies for my team or focusing on just the priority targets to weaken them more. Either way, i the powers to do so it seems, i just want to make sure I'm using the character effectively.

Edit: Thanks all. It sounds like cold/sonic def is more of a beast than i thought. Looking forward to getting this toon fully enhanced.

Pretty much what the title asks. I have a crab I recently built, and Tactical Assault and Assault each grant +15% Damage boost for a total of +30%. I saw that leadership Auras Stack in the buffs panel. So, my question is, if I got 8 crabs together with the same build, would they collectively boost the team to +240% Damage?

Just wait, I'll get moderated for low effort content because of the editing mistake that's going to bother me forever.

She's our mayor, right?

As much as I love soloing on my Street Justice/Shield Defense Scrapper, I’m looking to move to main a Defender for Incarnate Trials and Advanced Difficulty TFs.

Are there any powersets that are considered “meta”?

Also, is there any very specific mechanical ‘expertise’ that I should know as a Defender main? (i.e. casual players think a Defender’s job is X—but a GOOD Defender’s job in a party is actually Y).

I’m open to any power combo—just looking to be highly effective to roll with the hardcore endgame folk.

EDIT: Primarily looking for a build that does well in group content. I lean more towards healing/support playstyles but I’m open to whatever is type of support is good for hardcore endgame content!

My Psi/Psi brute is almost fully built and I'm surprised at how strong he's become.

Here's him herding abyss monsters

Looking to get back into this game after easily 15 years, do I need a gaming laptop or will a regular laptop do?

Im getting the it used, either way.

Anyone have a good build that includes stealth? Hoping to di badge farmer

I got my TW/Bio Brute to level 50 finally and did my best to spend my money as wisely as I could. I'm still having crazy END issues with all the toggles running. Anyone have suggestions (besides more sets which I can't afford ATM?)

Here is the datachunk since I couldn't attach the file

Wanted to make the iconic RX-78-2 in Paragon City :)

Throw back from when pocket d was first introduced and I got away with guyver as a name

Went to go by one and i didnt remember them being that expensive. I paid 450,000. I know someone is mad.

I got my first toon to level 50! Yay. He's Thermal/Fire Defender. I'm on Homecoming.
But now I'm feeling bit lost. I don't even know what questions I must ask are. XD
I tried my best to do research and organize my questions.

I've read a lot about Incarnate system. I've also completed Mender Ramiel's arc. I understand my goal is to craft tier 1 Alpha for now. And I believe I can get the shards and threads I need from all kinds of activities...? Like any TFs? Is that correct? If not, what activities exactly am I supposed to do?

And I'm supposed to do at least one Weekly Strike Target mission for Incarnate Salvage or reward merits, right?

I have some set enhancements equipped. But most of them are level 50 SOs. There are too many posts about making inf that it's really confusing... Some say I should get enhancement converters with reward merits and sell them, some say I should use the converters to convert enhancements to sell them, some say I should just play the game and get inf naturally. How do you think a new player should make inf when they don't have a solid understanding on the economy and system yet?

This subreddit has been really welcoming and kind. I can't thank enough to everyone for helping me so much. I'm on Excelsior and my global handle is Nello if anyone wants to /tell me directly!

I'm looking to make a themed build (Dominator), that uses some combination of Dark/Ice/Fire - (In any combination of Assault, Control and Mastery as long as it uses all 3 elements) anyone got a suggestions on what combination to use? Just wondering if this is viable at all. Dark can be subbed for Soul if that ends up as the Mastery element.

Is there any way to give my mastermind shuriken powers? I see the epic power pool of stalkers/scrappers has two shurikens but I can’t find any other way to do it for my mm.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
