Glacier Peak

Make the Flurry animation three times faster and do three times the damage, but last five seconds.

And that is why I struggled with mainstream comic book protagonists. My favorite character is Batman, but I loathe reading anything to do with him when he is some how able to fight dimension altering beings with his "wit and prowess."

They could do it the same way they do with the diceroll emote. Show those hand gestures above the player or something.

But in game, the Lost are victims themselves, thus glorifying the perception applied from the real world to carry out misguided depictions of heroics and.... oh golly I'm not getting dragged in to this one.

The real hardcore players turn XP off at level 1 and play the game with just the starting powers. And they like it!

CGI doppelgangers will abound in future installments. Long live Emperor Mickey 😁

I'm sure there is a bug as you described in the OP, but I've had to reply to another poster who seems to be misunderstanding the event purpose. This topic may be better suited in the Bug Report sub forum.

The old Rikti Crash Site had a great guitar shred that I loved hearing back in the day.

Oh huh good looking out

Go find and defeat the escaped prisoner and the event will continue. That is literally all you need to do. If you are struggling with the event solo, try forming a team to help you. For the poster coming up with non-sense reasons that have nothing to do with the event mechanics, go to the suggestion sub forum.

Look if you need it broken down to an easier level to understand level, the event purpose is to stop the prisoners from escaping. If that occurs, you basically fail the event. Or if you would rather finish the event, go find the prisoner that escaped and defeat them. It's not broken, there ya go.

A very cool, didn't know that was a thing. Sounds... er looks good to me!

I dunno about broken, I ran it on Indomitable once the timer reset just fine. What is likely occurring is an inmate escapes to a far away location in the zone and they need to be defeated before the next wave spawns.

I... well I support inclusivity and I like this suggestion, but I gotta ask... can't people with hearing impairment just use the chat function?

Common salvage, okay that's a little bit like my uncommon salvage strategy. Worth a shot, I'll report back in a year or so on this effort. Edit: Sorry, meant to add thank you! And thanks for the sell stack shortcut, I had no idea!

Yeah, easy side gig for my main. I am not looking to make a ton of influence at once, just a little bit a week or so, but the strategy should allow for replication over a period of a year or more. I don't want the method to dry up (I mentioned winter packs). I think I even went as far as buying uncommon salvage and selling it to vendors, but that was too much work over time to be worth it to me.

I am aiming for a steady flow of income of around 1 million influence a week, with the strategy being applicable for at least a year or more. I find the rare roulette antics boring, so I am trying to find an alternative that doesn't require that sort of stuff. I actually asked a lot of the questions you asked me in my post, and I don't know the answers so I am soliciting input. Here is what I have found the least effort and the most consistent market strategy: 1. Play story arcs or TF/SF, incarnate, raid content 2. Turn merits in to something (I most always do boosters) 3. Sell that item on the market. I'm finding that the supply is pretty saturated in that niche, but it supports my playstyle. I also dabbled in super packs, but the only thing I felt was worth the least amount of effort was turning brainstorms in to rares then selling on the market. Edit: I wanted to reiterate the point about this being over a period of time. If I posted a booster for 3 million influence, one person in a hurry might buy it over a period of 12 months. I don't mind that kind of long term strategy, and I have my auction house slots maxed out. So if it's just a matter of waiting, I am all ears. I did the winter packs strategy, but it was such a saturated market that I did not find it working as well over time.

No, this is not a guide or market theory post. Simple question instead: On the market specifically, what takes the least effort and produces the most consistent dividends over time in this game? Emphasis on over a long period of time, perhaps a year or more to start seeing income. I find the recipe to rare conversion is tedious, even if it's consistent enough. Brainstorm to rare salvage perhaps? I suppose if I could determine the most demanded item on the market over time and then build a strategy to supply that item, I'd answer my own question, but I'm not that wise. Not asking for short term big inf baller strategies, just a simple thing to do that makes its value over a long period of time and has really low work effort.

I just did a search through Twitch and I couldn't find the stream. I thought it was one of our GMs who had streamed it, but I didn't see it in their VODs. Sorry!

Without delving too far off topic... sorry OP! Criminogenic elements, cause and effect, nature versus nurture, socioeconomic status, there is no one, two, three, four, etc., cause of crime. There are many causes for many people for many reasons for many crimes - if that sounds confusing, it's because it is. There is no one solution to all crime either. And as much as everyone in society who cares about criminal justice reform, law enforcement, and social welfare, there will never be a one cause, one solution either.

Was it because of the character's alignment? Edit: The HC Wiki says something related to contributing enough to the event... https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/The_Great_Escape

Environmental criminology aims to confirm such a relation, though I have never been convinced that criminological theories can provide enough context on their own, I do enjoy the positivistic application in the field. Perhaps one day the criminal justice field will be elevated beyond its reliance on routine activities, rational choice, and other assumptive theories and become an actual science of study instead of an amalgamation that can't stand on its own.

Oh MassivelyOP, with their silly hypotheticals!
