I think it matters on how much crafting one does. I'm pretty low volume I suspect in comparison. I might sell a dozen enhancements a week that I just know tend to go for decent amounts on the AH, but they're just ones that pop out of a conversion roulette. (and then I tend to use part of those proceeds to buy the cheaper alternative that I was actually going for)

Screwing around on beta (and I wish I had kept details), that sounds right. I did a few tests with low level enhancements and wound up with that conclusion. On my list of tedious things to test and document. (along with a dozen other things...)

I currently have 15 tankers, 12 Brutes, 11 Scrappers, and 3 Stalkers at 50. Mostly it's by concept. Some combos do seem to work better for the different ATs. And as mentioned, sometimes it's a personal preference.

Glad I'm not the only one. I'll convert tons of stuff to avoid spending a few million on enhancements. I mean it kinda seems to be fine since I'm still building up influence while fully outfitting characters. Some of this is from retiring characters and selling off their basic IOs and such that cost more to craft at the time. I rarely buy rare salvage. I almost always have enough on hand somewhere.

Energy Cloak and Infiltration don't add their stealth values, but you can run them at the same time and just get the larger value. Stealth with 55' works better though unless you want the movement bonuses. I do have some characters that have builds before the stealth change and they no longer make sense.

I have a MA/Regen brute. I believe Spaghetti has done a Super Strength that with her driving is very very capable.

Parabola has the stated reason for this.

You can run Earth's Embrace, Rooted, and Mud Pots. And yes, the travel powers from sorcery, force of will, and experimentation get grayed out if granite is on.

I believe that the times it kicks people out of a mission is when you have to talk to the contact to advance the mission. If it's a mission that gets set immediately once everyone exists the mission, then you can't force it. (But yes, would be a nice enhancement if the team lead could do it whenever once they were out)

Options->General->Miscellaneous->Disable Earning XP (Last option) You can also use a command "/option_toggle noxp" which will turn it off and on.

I've got this one

Should be noted, you can mute the voice overs in options->Graphics and Audio->Audio->Voice Over Volume

That's my actual official title. 😉 Though it's more negotiations.

Right click on the number and hit Close (or C)

It was just the curved banners on your ports, but figured out the hologram used for that pretty quick. Most of the rest is beyond my patience level. 😉 I love seeing what all is possible

Yin is a good one. That's the one I used for most of my mirrored badges

So, checked out the bases on Indom, Torch, and Excel. All of them have lots of wow factor. And a couple items I might see if I can recreate

Ok, I think the description of the badge might be wrong. I believe the second Rikti progress is the Skull one. edit: Fixed in upcoming patch

Opening Capsules and got skulls twice, no progress toward any badge, but the CoT are showing progress on the badge. Badges only for Circle, Rikti, Skulls, and Family this year.

Probably an exploration tip was in there. And the old school mobs are produced by opening an anniversary capsule. Very similar to winter mobs and presents.

Seems to be. I downloaded it and it at least reads the logfile in static fashion. (Looks like it works fine ongoing as well)

It was a nice distraction at times and I boosted a couple characters and it was easy enough to avoid since I tended to be on more low pop servers.

After nearly six years, I have a 40 characters pretty well outfitted. Some of them are a little outdated due to some power changes and need a respec to get full utility again. My first few mains hit 50, had generic IOs and then started getting sets installed. Mostly tankers and the like since I found blasters worked fairly well, but the more the 50s got played, the more influence, drops, etc... happened and I was able to afford more and more. I still have 50 alts that need to be outfitted efficiently, but it's more a time and research cost at this point. I find I procrastinate just enough to build up enough purple recipes and merits that I've been needing to sell off "junk" just to have enough space when the next character is ready for respec.

Unfortunately, I don't have any other insights. Been windows free for some time now.
