The design intent of glowies it to make you explore the map and have some mindfulness towards the situation beyond just blowing up baddies. That said, half the maps in this game are a labyrithian nightmare, and I get the frustration, especially for folks who have disabilities or limited time on their hands. Hell, I was in a city farm map the other day (literally the most basic ass map in the game) and spent more time looking for the glowie than I did fighting! Maybe have it be something that activates after 15 minutes (give or take, depending on the size of the map), and it highlights the area the objective(s) is/are in instead of pinpointing it. That way, it still takes time and effort, but you're thrown a bone if you're lost. And again, have it be optional. Maybe give a small reward bonus for getting the objective before the helper option activates? I dunno, just spitballin' here 😃

But will they still randomly spawn up to 54, or will they never go higher than +4 to the leader? Rather, what's the intended behavior so I know what to look for 😃

Yeah, any suggested badges that require us to start a whole new toon, and thus not be able to get it on our current badgers, gets a big ol' /JRanger from me 😃 Still funny, though!

Wait wait wait... Since when does the D have an entrance to RV? Is that new in this patch, or has that been there?

"But I could do it by myself, why won't you let me bring along Helpless Lad and Adequate Lass?!" I mean, as long as the team leader is over 45 and everyone else gets SK'd up anyway, I don't see why they can't come along. Just make sure it can't be started by anyone under 45.

Ah! I knew I had those in my own /psi dom, but i forgot which power came from where, thanks for the correction!

Ah! Well if the comparison is just for those two, then @Psyonico hit it on the head. Going a step further, Mind (along with Gravity especially) is a bit counterintuitive on Doms, since it gives you a single target attack chain right out of the gate and doesn't really need more offense. The only thing /Psi offers is an AoE attack or two and Link Minds (or is it Mind Link?), which is actually still pretty good, all things considered.

It depends on your secondary and what pools you take. I mean, a Mind/Kin is gonna outdamage a Mind/anything else, at the expense of things Kin doesn't provide.

Would Hami-Os be worth controlling? The big ones don't seem to move fast enough, and the low-end ones go for the same price as rare salvage. Plus, Hami raids happen every night, and one can get them from running the MLTF and LRSF as well (well Synthetics but they're bucketed with the normals). So it's not like these things are all that rare or hard to come by. One could certainly turn a profit running these back to back, taking the (S)HO reward and selling it, but I feel like the (legit) demand would dry up pretty quick if someone did this every night. But maybe that's just me.

Veto! I hate when people do that XD

As a support-based character whose main powers are to heal others, soloing is gonna be hard. How are your blast powers enhanced? If you want support powers and pets, either roll a Controller (most get pets at level 32) or Mastermind (a wholly pet-based class).

There was this one time I almost got a niche cornered! Just needed a few more stray bids to filter out. It got closer, CLOSER, CLOSER... (And?!) I THREW A ROCK AT IT! (...) I-it was a big rock...

Noooo =(

Well, TBF, -1 doesn't work on TFs (though 0 is effectively that if you have a rare Alpha slot), and some AVs spawn at a certain level no matter what (Freedom Phalanx are 53, LR and his Lieutenants are 54; most other AVs in those TFs are around level 52 minimum i think?). Other than that, a reward for running these at higher difficulties would be nice 😃

Yeah, Overpower has a pop-up message; Containment, I don't recall if that was ever a thing. But if an opponent is held (or immobed or slept or stunned), you're probably getting the bonus.

Are you hitting them with Envenom before or after Spectral Wounds? Or have you tried both?

Fwiw, as someone who has a badging main... I don't bother with badging on most of my other characters. What I lack in accolades I tend to make up for with set bonuses. Also, a lack of accolades or set bonuses isn't always indicative of a bad player; they might just have 100 characters and haven't gotten around to setting up that specific character. Though I would be lying if I pretended I was never concerned with running a TF with non-optimized/under-leveled characters. Usually it ends up okay and I (and any other built-up characters) can carry the lowbies, but there has been the occasional drop-fest, as well. I try not to get too upset by it. Key word, "try". DAMMIT [ name redacted], DO YOU EVEN ENHANCE, BRO?! *cough*, excuse me. Still a little sore about that one.

Omph. Yeah, get to 50+ and try again, I guess =( But hey, you made it that far, that's pretty impressive for a group of underleveled first-timers! The general strat is trying to draw one at the time, or having a Mind Dom/Trollet use Mass Hyp until they're all asleep and grab one at a time that way.

Pretty much what @Zhym said: while i was knocking out the REST of the mayhem badges, I always made sure to get the doors in the police station. And yeah, on the occasional mission or TF with doors I'd ask if anyone wanted doorbuster progress and most folks were usually pretty helpful!

For the sake of pedantry, I would like to make an addition/correction to @Andreah's list: No, Emyrian and Astral merits are not -immediately- fungible, buuut, they can be converted into Threads, which can be used to buy Super and Ultimate Inspirations, and then you can sell THOSE on the Market. Or, more simply, you can also always convert them into Reward Merits (2 RMs for Astrals, 20 for Empy) and then do the merit breakdown as previously described =D

AFAIK, the set is already mostly "done"; the issue is lack of animations and sfx (assuming they don't just want to reuse existing animations). And I'm not sure if the HC team taken on any animators or artists yet. But hey, maybe I'm wrong!

I think you can chain multiple bosses off one objective by having a single "Defeat Boss" objective, but you can change the number of bosses that spawn from "1" to whatever else. They'll all have the same dialog and other properties, though.

I think that the issue is that the "secondary color" slot is already taken up by a transparent "color". The only way we'd get to see patterns on Tops With Skin is to add a third color slot or overlay. Which would also be awesome in and of itself, but I feel like it would be an undertaking akin to when they first introduced customizable power colors. So while definitely a great idea, I wouldn't count on it happening any time soon =(

*other villains stare at you, unimpressed* Ivy: "So Harvey, what ever happened to the giant penny?" Two-Face: "They actually let him KEEP it!" Croc, dejected: "...It was a big rock."

I think that might be the "steamy mist/shadow fall" jail?
