    I wasn't sure what powers were skippable, since Water got a buff lately, so I just took em all.

    Nothing wrong with trying out powers. You can always respec out of them later. I found two powers in Water Blast not being needed based on my build focus and I took every Marine Affinity power.

    While I enjoyed using this to make a gold name as much as anyone (purple names were cool too, but I didn't want to add the Roleplayer or Help Me tag if inappropriate... I was always happy to help others)... this is probably for the best overall.

    From the discussion I had about this change, my understanding is the HC Team is trying to address an issue that affects players who have visual impairment or experience issues with color distinction in game. They are doing so with this short term solution because it would otherwise be an intensive code change. I got the impression that an alternative method may be implemented in the future to allow players to customize their player names, though there was no guarantee because volunteers only got so much time and energy. 

     

    Edit: I'll also add something that I was only recently made aware of with the role title markers, which is that they aren't intended to be used solely for the purpose of player name color customization - rather they are meant to help new players solicit assistance, indicate players who are roleplaying, and highlight which players are willing to help others. 

     

    As someone with a gold title from 2020, I've maintained the Helper role on my main character to enable an all gold player name, title, badge, etc. This change makes it so my character does not stand out among large groups of enemies or players. However, since the purpose of the role tag is to make it clear to other players that I am willing to help them, this change still allows that.

    Since we didn't have a formal theme this week (summer holiday weekend), I did a solo Dr Q TF.

    “Q Meets Q” - Explorers and Exploiters (Dr. Quaterfield, Level 40-45) - Any AT/powers, Q costumes (whether it be Star Trek Q, James Bond Q, Dr. Q, or some other Q)

    Two costumes:  Dr. Q (left) and Star Trek Q (right).

    The first of several "defeat 50" hunts.

    Up you go, Bull Natterling!

    My mini-Kheld Lore pets helping me finish the final mission--the infamous "defeat all" in Oranbega.  Just over 3 hours.

    I did this as well. Logged in my three accounts (benefit of playing on Indom and not worrying about red shard dots!), started the TF, then logged out my other two while I soloed. 

     

    Unfortunately after getting through all the missions I failed to realize I was on the last one and proceeded to finish it without having logged in my other two accounts.

     

    That is likely my last time ever doing a Dr. Q! 🫠

    I suspect you actually meant to say "diameter" rather than "radius".    A 10 foot diameter AoE would have a 5 foot radius in all directions.

     

    The OP makes a good question though: are all AoEs going to be spherical?  or might some be vertically flatter, like a donut?

    Ah indeed. Math is not my strong suit.

  5. I'm not familiar enough to say this is accurate, but my understanding is the radius is really a sphere, where at the point of casting either on the player or on the target, it uses that #ft. So for a 10ft radius AoE, it would go up 5ft and down 5ft essentially.

    I am here to IMPLORE a change to the "HELP ME" tag on players, it's very confusing to see names in TEAMMATE GREEN who are NOT teamed with me. in places like Atlas where we have high traffic this is leading to confusion and mild aggravation among many players. Please reconsider a color such as HELP ME or even perhaps HELP ME

     

    I know it might seem like something small, but for someone like me, with a brain injury, this is becoming very tiresome and it's honestly making me not want to play !! There are enough great changes in the game, I don't have the mental function to deal with random people appearing as if they were teamed with me! I have to leave my team window open now just to be sure I'm solo and didn't mis-click and invite someone by mistake !

     

    Messages like this one are asked multiple times a day, please change the color of this one tag!! PLEASE !!

    This is to show that while I am SOLO, it would appear by sight, that I am teamed with the person. This just feels off, and again I BEG YOU to change the color of the HELP ME tags

    I support changing colors.

     

    I would strongly disagree with any change that made it so I could not have a colored name based on my character role selection.

  7. Hello great people of Indomitable!

     

    As many of you know, Indomitable has been fortunate enough to have a daily Giant Monster hunt conducted and set up by a fantastic player named Triark and fellow helpers from the Hunter's Rest Supergroup for a year now. 

     

    I thought that we should celebrate this unique achievement with a special event on Indomitable

     

    On Thursday, July 31st from 1800 Mountain Time to 1900 Mountain Time in Echo Plaza on Indomitable, there will be a fun celebration that is open to all players and all levels. (This event will immediately follow the daily GM Hunt that we do).

     

    Expect to win some mini pet recipes, fight some enemies and maybe see some familiar faces as we celebrate a few of our Indomitable community's greats!

     

    Reply in this thread or send me a tell in game if you have any questions (@Glacier Peak).

     

    See you there!

    I know we don't like to bring up other servers here, but I'm pretty sure that one of the other servers did actually do a universal mezz set as a Halloween event reward? I'd like to see it here too but I know that the HC team can sometimes be contrarians in that they don't want to do something that somebody else already did, even if it was a good idea. 

    Oh I didn't know that - I had thought since they added the Spring Fling event enhancement set 'Cupid's Crush' that HC was going for a focused theme involving seasonal events (winter, spring, summer, and hopefully fall!)

    The primary drawback to this sort of set is personal: It is very rare that I invest more than 3 slots in a defense or resistance power., unless I am franken-slotting.

     

    I'd much rather see a Halloween set that offers Universal Control... that is, one that can boost any/all control effects without being tied to specific types of controls.

    Why not both!

    I don't think the fix went live.   Another bug that was fixed is still not on live.  Though the version numbers are higher on live now...

    Just ran the story arc naturally and it didn't award. I do have the souvenir though...

    I want more toys to play with so I added my upvote.

     

    My nitpick is regarding some of the proposed set bonuses. Being able to enhance both resistance and healing with one set is something that will mostly be used with armored ATs, who tend to get very little benefit from the KB protection or range bonuses (but Sentinels would like the latter at least). I'd suggest swapping those out for other things. I'd also like the S/L defense bonus bumped up a bit, which I admit is purely for selfish reasons (Sents have a hard time building typed S/L defense so I'm trying to shoehorn that in here).

     

    I guess a second nitpick might be that this set doesn't really have a Halloween "feel" or flavor to it, contrasted to winter sets for example which have a very clear flavor to them. I think this could be perhaps given out as a reward for either the redside or blueside respec trials instead, which offer a little more wiggle room in terms of theme and also could use some more incentive to play. 

    Great points that I can agree with. Mending Bulwark is the name of one of the Seed of Hamidon spawns, so more Halloween themed would be appropriate.
