Fellow badger on Excelsior here! Anyone have any luck with the Echo: Atlas Park exploration badges? Apparently they're all new in new places. I found one at the foot of the statue in Prometheus Lake/Park, but can't find any others.

Does P-Chat have all the same options? I for one am having a blast filling my base with NPCs, makes it seem more alive, and I don't think the NPCs are in P-Chat. Something to plan for, especially if you want, say, the Icon tailor to have an actual little storefront instead of just standing in the corner of a room.

So, I too get the odd random crash. Not a CTD, mine just hangs and the sound stutters. I think part of the issue (assuming you and I are affected by similar things) is that the game is NOT optimized for 64-bit systems, or for versions of Windows beyond XP. It MIGHT be a graphics thing, as my midrange laptop is more stable running the game on low settings than my high-end PC with everything cranked to max. I realize this deosn't help you directly, but maybe someone looking through this thread might have a better idea with the extra input.

...Is it just me or have the servers been running flawlessly since this change? I mean, it's probably the 1,500 player cap, but still.

Mostly PvP stuff with my Mind/Kin. Granted, it's PvP, so you gotta pull out all the stops to win (which I did very rarely, so, any dickishness was justified) One time I was in the Recluse's Victory train station. I was melee'ing with a Brute (On a controller, yeah, I know, but Kin heals are melee range, so, yeah) when a Stalker comes up and tries to gank me. Well, it didn't work, and while still fending off the Brute, TK'd the Stalker into a corner and left him there indefinitely, recharging my stamina off the Brute. I held them both off for several minutes until a second Stalker swooped in and dropped my toggles. For what it's worth, I apologized to the first stalker, and he was able to laugh it off. Another thing I liked doing was activating Repel and dive-bombing Masterminds, sending their henchmen flying everywhere. I called it "Bowling for Minions!" A dickish thing I had happen TO me was the time I was running a costume contest. I announced the winners and tried giving them their prizes (Purple IOs), but a bunch of randoms were jumping all around the winners, so no matter how I tried adjusting my camera, people were in the way. So I called the winners into City Hall, and all these jerks followed. I managed to give out prizes to two of the winners, but the third winner claimed he didn't get anything. So I had to go to the auction house, buy a new recipe, salvage, and craft the damn thing, putting me quite a bit in the hole. I wondered at the time if the griefer and my contestant were in cahoots to get an extra purple, but other than reporting the guy who kept jumping in my way, I let it go.

Right? This is insane! The game certainly didn't feel this popular back when it was "live"...
