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.

Looking thru the lists of emotes, doesn't look like some combos are available that I think would be nice to add in the development's copious spare time. 😉 A lot of the sitting emotes could have stuff that add reading, eating, couple other items, maybe talking.

Base TP is a good addition to LRTP since there's such a thing as cool down. And LRTP does need the zone to be visited for a badge first. Plus I can catch up on stuff while parked in a base without worrying about a timeout. (yes, you can be in an Ouro, AE, or TF for that as well) Vault reserve is per character, making it a bit hard to pass stuff from one char to another. Enhancement tables seem to be the most common storage for my base needs, plus Rare Salvage. I do have four racks for Common and Uncommon. The base is my one stop place for pretty much everything except surgeon and AH. And this isn't even going into the amazing bases that other people have designed and shown off around here. And you can do base raids again (details elsewhere) if you're into the PvP stuff.

Those are probably DE Spies!

What's fun with Posi 1 is you can get to the doors without triggering the ambush via teleport. To about two squares out is a safe zone. You can also avoid the cut scene by teleporting to the wall thru the door which is how I found out the dupes are already there, but Azuria is not.

So a little more on the Candy Keeper. The Snow Beast costume is no longer available. Seemed to be when Atlas park got switched back, though of course, presents are still out and about. Just a little off sync though a few people were wanting to get the Snow Beast costume and thought it would be available until tomorrows maint window.

Last week I did a few Posi 1 as PUGs, and a couple solo. Only notable was we were starting to fight the dupes and one player complained they were having to solo a ruin mage. They had never come into City Hall and had picked another fight outside. Some months back I was on a Posi 1 and we had four controllers. Lots of holds and debuffs that just wiped our team in seconds. Finally got around it since one of our controllers had confuse and just got the dupes to fight each other instead.

Winter Origin Oh hey! Never tried that, thanks! Of course, looks like once you do that, you'll have it in either those orders, but since it's either that or leaving it in the order they came in, I'll pick alpha order.

Posi 1 is a pretty good learning experience. Wether it's how to deal with different tasks, or how to herd cats. I'd say most of the ones I've been on as PUGs have been good. The ones that haven't tend to stand out more.

Odd about the Florence generic, I do know anything even partially connected to the pandemic got generic'd at the time. They may have just extended it to any health care related stuff because there are a lot of people that were being stupid.
