The only reason some of us support copyright in this game is so that we don't get shut down. We want to play, not to lose the game, again. The latest IP dispute I heard was Luis Vitton (that overpriced garbage luggage company) attempting to copyright the letters L and V. All it takes is a C&D and it goes poof!!

Maybe a sliding scale for ratio of XP, INF and Prestige. Sacrifice XP or INF in increments of 10% up to 100% for Prestige.

I make a greater variety of AT's with different powerset combinations. Slotting has improved massively with the wider availability of higher level recipes. It is far easier to make a rounded character which can have a reciprocal effect on good teams. The community is also far better than it used to be, even though it was pretty good on live, there is a greater concentration of devotees now so I am more sociable.

What we need is a court system and a prison system for Villain AT's where they can be processed by heroes and remanded in custody according to their criminal escapades. Also there should be a resident Mr. Big in the prison system as a lifer who can keep the unruly mobs under control with permadeath options for the most effluent detractors. There should be a points and badge system for heroes who put away the most villains with no recompense for miscarriage of justice.

The clue is in ' team' - the game tells everyone how to play the game. I say play how you want. If you want to solo then solo - if you want to team - then team. How hard can that be to understand?

Not really, the choice is to earn prestige or to earn INF. That is how it used to be anyway.

Turn on ★prestige★ without badges.

I don't remember there being a max distance on following anyone in the same zone.

No it isn't. But when it was released in 2010 I spent a lot of time working out how to get all of the badges without missing any by changing alignment correctly to do so., It took several attempts and re-rolling to do it and I had a blast during the process, finally being rewarded with what I had worked for. I don't know about the replayability of Gold zone but it is no more difficult than any other zone once you become experienced in the game.

I think it could be in the language style of Stheno...

I think a healing set has more promise with those names 😄

Yep, we've been shining ever since we stole our game back in 2019. 😛

If you have the time and the willpower there is nothing stopping you as UR5 is free to use.

More = merrier.

The instance I heard of exploration badges and plaques on live when I 'free trialled' the game all of those years ago I was hooked (maybe it was an "ooh! Shiny!" moment). I've almost memorised all of the zones and still use Viodiot Maps location images to get the ones I cannot remember. These days I can do the whole map in 2-3 hours including gold/red/blue/echo sides. It's so easy to just roll to another map for 5-10 minutes in quiet times and all of a sudden that's all of the explores done. Most count toward other badges and some toward accolade abilities. It is a well developed system of activity by the original devs and I'm glad HC see fit to maintain and expand it. I seen a lot of toons over the years tell me they aren't interested in badges, in the knowledge that they give +endurance/+hit-points and other abilities. Personally I enjoy the activity of collecting them in the open world and the rewards they give. Each zone with all explore badges collected gives 5 merits and a small amount of xp.

You should play more - or - more when I play PUGs...

Armed with a thesaurus and t'internet I've never been stuck for a name. I like the exclusivity of a name in this game once I have found one. Now, after centuries of the English language usage we still haven't run out of words, knock yourself out with your own creativity. There is only one [insert your exclusive name here]

I log my valuable (to me) names so that they don't hit the loss threshold, just in case. And I also remove those I don't wish to use. Essentially I sit on the ones I want for the future and have released those I will never use.

I don't know how to word this without upsetting anyone/everyone or tempting some troublesome retort to my views in an attempt to nullify them. But it's like this.... ....why join a team if you don't wish to play in one? I have any number of characters who can solo TF's/SF's/Arcs etc and when I want to solo I won't play in a team. Contrary to that in this pretty easy game, we still have the 'glory seeker' - especially now with the large new influx due to our legitimacy. The glory seeker wishes to be on your team whilst not play as a team, even in a 'kill all'. They would rather away to the final objective as the rest of the team (up to 7 players) are transformed into the soloists' sweeping brush for 'those pesky required foes' thereby depriving our new influx from learning the game and its intricacies. It only serves to show to a new player that once you you are fully slotted you can ignore your team mates and just take off to show off how 'GRAND' you are at the game with your 'ace' powers and enhancements. STOP - solo the TF/SF if you want to, nobody cares and more power to you, but if you join a team play as a team.

She'd rather be out there 'fighting the fight' but instead has to deal with likes of you .. (and me) ..

It's a thing of beauty..
