To be fair, there are a couple of very endurance hungry Defender primary power sets. Sonic Resonance says, "Hello." You have never known struggling for endurance until you have played a Sonic Resonance Mastermind.

I came across an updated video of this. Great work, @VVonder .

The resetting back to the original does sound like a bug, but as for graphics not changing, that's probably because of Performance mode. It was reported and it was stated that it is WAI as it requires a graphics shader option from ultra mode. This probably should have been mentioned in the patch notes.

FWIW, the Mids' Reborn developers don't pay attention to the forums much. It's a known issue that they're trying to fix. In the meantime, there's a manual database update. Download it here. Extract it, and place the Homecoming folder in your Mids' Reborn data folder, overwriting the Homecoming folder and the files within.

Are you using Performance mode? I.e., are you using low graphics settings?

There actually is, but you have to be on the Mids' Reborn Discord server to get it.

Yeah, that's why I don't recommend Yandex. Swisscows is just a Bing wrapper, like DuckDuckGo. Gigablast died two years ago, it no longer exists.

Most web search engines are wrappers for Google search or Bing, yes, (including DuckDuckGo and Startpage). However, there are four web search engines that use their own crawlers and indexers and are independent from Google search and Bing: Brave Search, Kagi, Mojeek, and Yandex. I usually recommend Brave Search and Kagi to people, but Mojeek is a decent alternative.

Yep. Here's a really good article on how Google changed their search engine to basically destroy the open Internet and anything that isn't big business. TL;DR: Stop using Google search and Bing. Use one of the three independent search engines.

Google (and lol Bing), are not anywhere as good as they used to be. Try Brave Search, Mojeek, or Kagi.

Not only that, but the Homecoming community as a whole has started to use the Barrier Destiny as a crutch for *everything*, even in content where there would be far better Destiny power picks. It's quite annoying. But I digress.

City of Villains launched on October 31st, 2005, with the pre-order head start on October 27th, 2005. Does the Homecoming Team have anything planned to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the better game? Balloons throughout Grandville, perhaps? A shiny new badge?

No room in any of my character builds for it. I take Speed for Hasten and Super Speed, Fighting for Tough and Weave, either Leadership for Maneuvers or Leaping for Combat Jump, and Flight for Hover and Fly because I literally do not see the point in playing a super-powered character without flight. Can't take a fifth power pool, so no Fold Space nor Combat Teleport for me.
