Nothing to add, other than I've seen this, as well. At first I thought it was shenanigans with the difficulty slider getting moved to the missions tab. However, even the Hero Corp guys would say my diff was set to -1, but not a single weakling was to be found within any missions (except myself, shush).

"tease Snarky" Now THAT should be worth a badge! Ps, if I wake up dead, we know who to blame!

Can we post self-congratulatory milestone screenshots?

EmperorSteele replied to EmperorSteele's topic in Badges
I'm a bit behind, but haven't had a lot of time to play lately. However, with Open Beta going on, meaning a live update and even moar badges "soon" (tm), I found a few hours here and there and caught back up! Patty doesn't seem to think the holo projection suits her, though. "I'm taller than that, aren't I?!" -
Applying the Penny Yin TF Template
EmperorSteele replied to MsSmart's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
TFs were originally made slogs because the developers intended that players would do a few missions, log off, and resume the next day. Lol for hindsight. So, yeah, I wouldn't mind Synapse and Citadel getting a few of the superfluous missions snipped. Especially the ones that are essentially the same map two or three times in a row. -
waitwhut? Bullsnot! I don't believe you, I- (goes and looks) Huh. I'd ask "when did that happen", but, time travel tends to make those sort of questions kinda irrelevant. But, okay, I guess my point is fairly moot, then XD

I'm half-and-half on this. On one hand, sure. People congregate in Ouro, so it makes sense to have some amenities there for convenience. OtoH, Ouro already gets crowded enough. Next thing you know, people will want a tailor, and a merit vendor, and everything else so that they never have to leave Ouro ever again and wheeee this is a really slippery slope! Also, I'm generally okay with not EVERY zone having EVERY amenity; it forces us to actually interact with the rest of the game world. So, yeah. While I don't have a STRONG objection to Ouro having a trainer, I just don't believe it's necessary. But if one were to show up? meh, no skin off my back.

Retconning: What and why? Your choices
EmperorSteele replied to Scarlet Shocker's topic in General Discussion
Hmm... I wouldn't want to wholesale retcon anything, but with the advent of scripting and cutscenes, I'd really like to see some older arcs get some love to make them more interesting than "x defeat alls in generic warehouses that may or may not have clicky boxes which give you a clue that you're probably not going to read". One example would be the arc where you finally uncover Countess Crey's secrets. That first mission where you go to "her apartment" to find a diary? It's a warehouse. Let's have an ACTUAL apartment, or something that at least could PASS for one. Have a cutscene where we see the tape of what happened to her when she tried to blackmail a senator. Have us investigate the crime scene where she murdered Clarissa VonDorn and took her identity (which yes happened several years ago, but between magic, cyber technology, and more, we'd have ways of figuring stuff out). Have actual Longbow and PPD come after us instead of just Malta. Stuff like that 😃 -
Focused Feedback: Powerset - Plant Control
EmperorSteele replied to The Curator's topic in [Open Beta] Focused Feedback
I've yet to test, but, as someone who runs a Plant/Emp... Good. I main a Mind/Kin and have a Perma PA Illu/Time, and yet the goddamn EMP outpaces them both. Maybe my other builds just stink and I got lucky with the Plant build, idk. However, I'll save final judgement for when I can actually test. If I go from untouchable at +4/x8 to dying horribly at -1/x1, then I'll concede that the changes are too much. Until then, reserving judgement. -
NO! It's not shrinking, it's just... cold out.

What would you do if you were a DEV?! (Fun Ideas Talks)
EmperorSteele replied to SSR's topic in General Discussion
If I had my way, the technical expertise, and the time? *Fix up all the old messy textures. I don't mean adding bumpmaps and shading, but just getting rid of the pixelization, visible seams, and blurring that occurs on some of them. *Have the player be able to select a travel power at level 1; Have the player gain an additional enhancement slot on leveling up sooner, for a total of 3 extra. *Re-scale the difficulty so that a single player could NOT reliably solo at +4/x8. Players should start needing a team well before that point. *In tandem with the above, allow the difficulty to go up to +5/x10. *Rebalance the existing Incarnate slots. Alpha and Hybrid are fine IMO (though non-Assault Hybrids should be brought in line to make them more attractive), but Judgement and Destiny are too stronk. Lore is all over the place, and I'd want to bring all the Lores in line with one another. *Add a new special type of SO that partially ignores ED, giving minmaxers/powergamers an additional option for builds besides just IOs and HOs. *Add a GTA V style heist mission for redside. It would involve gathering intel, getting a crew, making a plan, executing it, capping off with a car chase and escape. Actually have it pay out a large amount of inf/loot for successful completion (which scales down after getting the badge to disincentivize farming it). Granted, the car chase portion makes no sense, since you can fly/run at super speed/jump hella high/teleport/etc. But hey, pipe dreams, right? -
Off-Center Area in Grandville

This has always bugged me, too! Figured I was just being OCD or something. Would be nice if it were fixed. -
Spring Fling Update Patch Notes
EmperorSteele replied to The Curator's topic in Patch Notes Discussion
So hey, does this mission grant the "Entrusted With the Secret" badge? Since it involves time travel and actually takes place in Ouroboros?
