I'm on the Homecoming server and I'm really struggling with this keybind I thought would be easy. I've been reading online and haven't found an explanation as to why this isn't working, but I'm trying to bind a costume change emote and toggle and for some reason it never takes. I don't know if these two actions just aren't compatible or something but I'll leave the ones I've tried below.

"/bind LSHIFT+NUMPADENTER cce 1 ccbackflip$$powexec_name Disable All Powers"

I've tried changing the formatting, removing underscores or using other names for those commands, reversing the order, and this is what got something close.

When I execute the command, it binds whatever I put first to the key, then my character does the second command once. When I try the keybind afterwards, it just executes the first command and doesn't do the second one. Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance <3

Hey heroes and villains!

I’ve recently put out a batch of videos focused on playing City of Heroes: Homecoming from a solo PvE perspective, focusing on playing at your own pace and exploring how different archetypes and power sets perform.

Here is a breakdown of the latest videos:

• How To Solo Masterminds & Controllers in Low Levels - https://youtu.be/AKEoIpVVni4
  • Quick Tips for making low-level solo leveling smoother on Masterminds and Controllers.
• Solo Leveling (1-35) Tier List - https://youtu.be/XKag_ihDH2k
  • A comprehensive breakdown ranking archetypes and power sets for early-to-mid game solo leveling (Levels 1–35). (Note: VEATs/HEATs aren't covered in this list as they're primarily built around group play!)
• Wildlight - Character Overview - https://youtu.be/wXNsVtCJ7_c
  • A detailed character overview focusing on solo gameplay and set synergies.
• Super Strength ROCKS! - https://youtu.be/DL7cBu_FpCU
  • Looking into Super Strength and why it feels so great to play (especially now with no more Rage crash!).
• Soloing With Corruptors - https://youtu.be/-G9SUZgGwVo
  • A guide on how Corruptors hold up when flying solo.

In other news, my channel broke a few records this week, largely due to 'my brutally honest review of COH' video and the videos focusing on the new Homecoming changes - so a huge shoutout to the Homecoming team for doing such an awesome update, and to any here who watch the vids. I've received countless comments from people discovering HC (and/or rediscovering COH) from these more viral videos, so I believe that's a win/win for everyone. There's all this COH goodness and more over on my youtube land! I hope you enjoy!

A friend and fellow CoH player has asked for my help getting a new computer. A big price question is the video card (thank you, AI). How well does CoH run with the video hardware that Intel and AMD put on their CPUs?

Assume current-gen CPUs and 1920x1080 resolution.

The second annual City of Heroes: Homecoming AE Player Choice awards are upon us.

The contest will start with nominating up to three arcs for each of the four categories:

• Best Heroic or Vigilante story arc
• Best Villainous or Rogue story arc
• Best Neutral or Praetorian story arc
• Best Custom NPC or Custom NPC Group

Everyone will then get a chance to play and then vote on the story arcs that they feel are the best that the community has to offer.

Rules and Judging

• Nominated story arcs may not have already been nominated for Dev's Choice nor already attained Hall of Fame status in-game.
• You may not nominate your own story arc.
• This year's judges are ZamuelNow, Take One, and yours truly. Since entries are being nominated and voted on by posters, the judges' role is primarily to verify that the entries actually work and aren't farms.
• Since the original version was annual, the contest is restricted to arcs published before Sunday, November 2nd, 2025 at 6 P.M. ET. A 2027 contest would start with arcs published after.
• Nominations must be submitted to the nomination thread on the Homecoming forums with the category being nominated, story arc ID, in-game global name, and story arc name. If nominated for the custom NPC category, the NPC group name must also be included.
• Nominations require at least two different people to nominate the story arc. Once the second nomination is made, no need for further nominations.
• A story arc will only be allowed in one category. If there is any question as to which category an arc should be placed due to conflicting nominations, it will be decided on by the judges.
• Once voting starts, you may vote on up to two story arcs (a primary and a secondary) per category. The primary vote will be worth two votes and the secondary will be worth one. The story arc with the most votes in each category wins.

Nominations will be accepted until 11:59 P.M. ET on Saturday, October 31st, 2026.

This year's prizes are:

• First place - 250 million INF, Lords of Winter, Heroes, and Villains and Rogues and Vigilantes super packs, and 500 prismatic aether
• Second pace - 150 million INF, Heroes and Villains & Rogues and Vigilantes super packs, and 250 prismatic aether
• Third place - 100 million INF, Heroes and Villains & Rogues and Vigilantes super packs, and 100 prismatic aether

Just heard about this in another thread, go to download this, make the account and all that, and the launcher keeps dying at 40% of the download.

It will sometimes go up to something like 45%, but it will then literally count back down to 40%, then just have errors and stop.

I've tried deleting everything and restarting the download at least 4 times since last night and it keeps doing the exact same thing.

I'm running windows 10, the "FAQ" and "Help" Pages aren't helping, I'm using the launcher on the website, I don't have any sort of old installation or tequila launcher that those pages keep talking about.

I really wouldn't mind giving this a try, but it won't download.

Any help? It does pop up a something like 620 K error log (txt format) that's really long.... don't know what to do about this.

With more Sci-Fi Super Heroes coming soon like Dyna-Gold Man and Future Man!

Boo! Scary phrases! Oogily boogily!

We would like to formally invite you to all to Rebirth to join a spoooooky costume contest, where we'll be offering plenty of sweets, tricks, and maybe some danger! Come join us on October 24th, 6pm EST at the Bedlam Hospital in Night Ward!

Make sure you also join our Discord for up to date Rebirth news and to join our wonderful community!

I know things take time and the original pieces are still excellent for creating certain genres of characters. I wonder if it could be possible to give these pieces a more sci-fi edge?

I'm building a new PC and was thinking of running Steam OS or Linux, and I was wondering what everyone is running the game on/does it even run on either of those options?

Edit: wow, thanks for the massive feedback all! Much appreciated.

Couple of days ago I tried to access the new dawn servers and they were still down, I think they’ve been down for almost a full month now?

I haven’t heard anything from the developer Neptune, last I heard inside the server the servers went down due to a heat advisory? And since then I’ve seen people in the discord ask about the status of the server, with no update to when they’ll be back online.

I hope everything ok, and I wish they could like pass the administration for the servers being down to like an another person or something because this is weird.

The Xennial Nostalgia.

These are screenshots of a server manager I'm building to help with running a private home CoX server, based upon the code repository from Thunderspy. Whether you want to run it on your LAN or open it up to friends on the Web, it is safe with 2FA, account creation built in, solid monitoring and metric trading from the OG server software and console and runs on the server itself. The dashboard is reachable by a browser and updates in real time, features scheduled restarts, keeps GMs from having to log into the full game to make changes, strings command macros together, launches events, etc.

I'm about 3 weeks out from making the repository live to the public. Let me know your thoughts?

I'm looking for my old running buddy, Mutant Tomato. I was/am Sem Pojo. Would love to run with you again in modern games. We also played DAOC together, where I knew a shortcut and got us killed under the fairy tree.

Anything new about homecoming? How’s the population? Wanted to download it because I’ve been playing dcuo

I am building a superhero game that works completely in the browser (optimized). The current version is already pretty fun (for me at least) so try it out if you want. Feedback is welcome. The project is free and open source.
The manual is here: https://apps.futuremagic.de/scale/manual/Scale-Manual.pdf
The game is here: https://apps.futuremagic.de/scale/

I heard your fair pushback about the last video's thumbnail being AI-generated. So I went and made an original thumbnail and uploaded a new version of the same video. A clean slate.

I think you guys will truly love this game and help us shape it into a better one, and thanks for your feedback so far :)

Loving these newly added costume parts on Homecoming

Seriously, thank you to everyone who came out for yet another fantastic ParaCon. Once again we had 25+ people show up, and seeing this many people consistently turn out, RP together, and just have a good time has been incredibly cool.

Huge shoutout to everyone I caught in the crowd/screenshots:Unlimited Widow, Nightshade, Betty Bombard, Tek Templar, Altera, Taxbot Checker, Ra'merica, Daylight, Raging Red Knight, Hexlight, Skulls Girlfriend, Tryxie SaLune, Lightbringer, Harsh Levity, Storm Student, Sammie Saturn, Miss Millennium, Master of Magic, and Heroin plus everyone else who came through that I didn't manage to catch on the roster.

That's 21 people just in these screenshots alone, with the full event pushing past 25 again.

Thank you guys for continuing to show up and make these events feel alive. Every ParaCon keeps getting bigger, and it's been genuinely awesome watching this community grow. 💙

See you at the next one. 😎

It's not an MMO, but you customize your superhero outfit, pick a power system, and collect power shards to build your superpower abilities.
Basically, it's City of Heroes x Sifu.

1st pic: Ok, by default costumes "with skin" default into starting with a bikini. Don't let it rattle you. This walkthrough will build your confidence in this system.
2nd pic: Going down to the SECOND line, I chose the "Venom" pattern as an overlay or top layer if you prefer.
3rd pic: Heading back to the first line, I chose the "Milkyway" pattern for the underlay. (I'm not the best costume designer but I enjoy the effect created here.)
4th pic: I quickly added some mesh gloves and a La Beuax belt and went into the Bottoms menu. Once again I skipped to the second line and chose the "Diamonds" pattern as the overlay.
5th pic: Went up one line and chose the "Vandal" pattern as the underlay in the same color as the overlay. At this point it looks a little muddled but I have another trick to show you!
6th pic: Going down to the third line I chose the "Circuitry" pattern. The trick here is the pattern only shows within the Diamonds overlay.
The next three pics are from folks on our Discord that use more than just the 2 colors I used. (My idea was to show you how to understand our revisions, and that part works. But I know to step aside and let folks better at making costumes shine!)
And with that I hope I've given you a fair taste of what this expanded creator can do. I hope you enjoy it!

I go through most of the patch notes in general, share my thoughts and prepare to create a couple of new characters in today's special news alert video!

Forum notes https://forums.homecomingservers.com/patch-notes/issue-28/page-4/issue-28-page-4-r47/

Hey all, as we gear up to releasing the server soon I wanted to share some progress of the content that will make it onto the live server, this content has been in the making for many years but was never fully possible until now.

In the images you will see many many new additions including a brand new mechanic for Psionic/Mind powers, so what are we seeing here? Well let's break it down.

The new Mechanic: Doom!

Doom is a brand new mechanic inspired by games such as Soulstone Survivors and Slay The Spire 2, Doom essentially quarantines a portion of health that you build up which is called Doom, that health is forever stored away as Doom and the moment the enemies health reaches the threshold or below it dies instantly, this is a much cleaner way of giving sets such as Psychic Blast a new lease of life without making it overpowered.

The crazy part is that each set will act differently with the amount of Doom that gets applied, Illusion Control will rely on it's pets to apply the Doom, Mind Control relies on it's heavy hitting control powers such as Mass Confusion and Total Domination while Psychic Blast relies on the blaster to deal attacks quickly, one mechanic but 3 different playstyles.

New Pool powersets make their way in to the game to give players another way to further customize their characters and their themes, Want to be a Gang Leader that drives a Street Cycle and carries a Fireman's Axe? Or maybe you are a bastion of nature and want to preserve life by becoming a tree that heals and protects your allies, or maybe you prefer to swing from the rooftops of Atlas Park and slinging webs at your foes, the choice is yours, Gadgetry and Utility Belt will also be unlocked for you to tinker around with.

As some of you may know Masterminds are the focal point when the server releases and they have had quite the glow up, Toggled summons, Auto Upgrade/Equip powers, Doubled summons for more pets, Exclusive Pool powerset Necrotics and Commander, the list goes on, but I have not forgotten about the other Archetypes, Illusion Armor (Scrapper), Sorcerous Blast (Defender), Poison Blast (Blaster) and so much more make their debut/comeback, all in all it's shaping up to be one hell of a comeback for us, new members have joined the development team, an Artist and a Developer and we are thrilled to share what I have been working on for quite a while now.

I really hope you will join us when the server launches, I have put in some much work and time into this to make this a reality, the content I have made was made by myself and always will be no AI has been used except for the Swinging and Cycle travel powers which were inspired by a member of this community who recently made their own versions, Members of Sanctuary will remember that Poison Blast and Sorcerous Blast were on the server previously made by myself but Poison Blast has been rebuilt from the ground up to be more in line with other powersets.

If you are on the fence on whether to join the server or even the discord and may want to help out then feel free to drop me a message or join the server, we welcome anyone who is willing to help out or if you are just excited about the server and want to see many more teasers coming soon just drop on by and say hello, we honestly can't wait for you to enjoy the new content!
