Dark Astoria "Cold Hand of Death" and First Ward's "Scavenger" are the most likely to not show the icon. There are some spots in Striga where it will show the icon for mortician, but won't actually count. If you log out in the Pocket D Bank Vault far enough to the left, you wind up not getting credit, and when you log back in, you pop out the door on the other side of the wall. I'm pretty CDO about my dayjob collections, but they are fairly infrequent issues.

I ran thru the Halloween drops on all my chars, so got a decent amount. Still think the top tiers are a bit spendy, but I'm fine with the lower tiers. And I think sub-50s should get them on WSTs. For accumalting, the 2% drop from random mission end and with the WST is good. The seasonals are I think a good place for extra, especially with the extra costumes then.

There are a couple mods that can up the sound of the glowie sound. I think both are available via the CoH Modder. One is an annoying submarine ping and the other is just the sound turned up.

My do all the content with a Bio/EM Tank is up to level 19. Currently doing the blue side and will then do the red. then level up, do that red stuff, then back to blue. One thing I have noticed, more of the pointless, hunt a bunch of mobs on the blue side so far.

Bah I say! Plus you can turn off movement portion via Gull.

Yes. If all a Kin does is speed boost, I don't care what else they do. I was on an ITF once with a Kin that didn't even have Speed Boost in their power list. I checked because I figured I was just missing out by playing a scrapper who was being semi-insane, but then looked at the team buffs and noticed NO ONE had a boost. They didn't take it because it was "worthless to them"

It's just a short drop!

When I downsized, my Tick comics were one of the few runs I kept. “Isn't sanity really just a one trick pony anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking, but when you're good and crazy, oooh, oooh, oooh, the sky is the limit!” "I'm here to fight crime, not stop it!" - this one may be paraphrased.

A friend asked me to join a PI radio team. I was playing my fairly uber tank and join near the end of the mission. We exit, leader says they're done for the night and I find myself in lead. Not really what I wanted to do, but OK. I do a couple of the usual roll over the council +4s, but then do the Arachnos in a bank mission. Total team wipe. To the team's credit, everyone came back and we did it more intelligently. So maybe a learning experience for all. We did a couple more missions before I called it a night.

Only buff I can think of off the top of my head is that fury builds faster

I mean if you're offering @Lemming, currently outfitting one of my chars with that. (Though I'm also pretty sure if I went thru my parked chars, I'd find enough purples...)

I had, but forgotten that that breakdown was there. This did give me a chance to brush off some old perl scripts

The roundhouse kick thing looks like Vorpol Judgement? Nice to see them building stories as well.

I started my new char with the same reasoning, though the last winter mission is the Lady Winter one? I got that by hitching along with another char. Started a bit earlier on Christmas Eve and got my 200 presents open by just running around, but they're going blue & red, so more opportunity for presents. I didn't bother with the ones you needed to buy. I'm OK with most of the winter event going away, but I do wish the Snow Beast costume was available a bit longer, and they could leave Atlas Park all snowbound for longer.

Since I posted, there hasn't been any code updates, so I would not be surprised to see it still happening.

Increasing the number of merits given would probably make farming less lucrative, at least via AE. They'd probably turn to some other activity that rewards merits, and there are some arcs that can be completed quickly. On the worry that prices would drop across the board, I think that's the point.

Yea, but DoorDash deliveries would be a pain.

That's how I stress test a build. 😉 I'm pretty sure I'm more a mid-skill tanker. Annoy the mobs, bring them to me, occasionally throw a taunt at a group that seems after someone more squishy. Several of my characters are perfectly fine leading a +4/x8 (though +3 if more under 50s than over) and most of the time I don't have to even touch the steering wheel. If someone else is leading, I tend to follow the lead and/or tank. And I definitely have different playstyles based on which character and that can swing fairly wildly even within an AT

Ironblade does have that other one. Hmm, what is it with Sharkhead?

There's the "The Freakish Lab of Dr. Vahzilok" which can get you the Tarnished Star badge for filling every cell in the Zig on the hero side. All but Freakshow Olympics being badge arcs. That one?

I think it will be self stabilized. I wouldn't drop the Super packs and have the Winter packs at 10.

I'd live in a building that had elevators that could go further than one floor at a time and had a layout that made sense.

Ugh. I just remember the buggy portions and some of the pointless grind. And the lack of a lot that is in the current version. There were a lot of cool things as they were uncovered, but I don't want to repeat it and 90% of it can be still be done if you want to. I still use Superjump to cross Steel Canyon being careful to bounce off buildings without hitting the street. (without the double jump)

Currently back to 100 characters, 18 on Everlasting, 81 on Excelsior, and one loner on Reunion. I purged around 30 characters over the last few months that I just wasn't playing. Most of them didn't even have up to date enhancements. Three are not at 50 yet, two are almost there, one is a long project of going thru content. Currently finishing off content up to level 14 (excluding gold side) A lot of my alts just come from a name idea, some get to 50 and mostly parked. I'm still trimming a few since I have never gone back to playing them. A few I'll hang onto because I like the concept enough to occasionally play them. I tend to play my blasters and tankers the most, but I do have at least an example of each AT.
