Though the relation to publicity and anonymity on the internet varies to the extreme, this made me laugh.

It's a cool concept to weave in to a player's character design. Instead of looking at it as an in game currency, it's more of an amount of renown that correlates to a set minimum and maximum amount.

For those who don't purview the HC Discord, added background on the topic below (see middle of image I believe):

It comes up as a suggestion every few months it seems, more so recently with the change in stance on streaming by the HC volunteers:

What you said about the "Don't-Wannas" is a fair assumption, that I agree with - but I am of the opinion it should be applied equally to everyone. I may have derailed this thread enough with discussion outside what is currently written in the ToS, Privacy Policy, and Code of Conduct. I will continue to say this, however - folks who choose to login have to know what those agreements say because they are asked to consent to those terms every time they log in. They aren't agreeing or disagreeing with my opinions or other players opinions, or having philosophical discussion on content generation and privacy in an interconnected world. I think it is moot to say it is one way is more right over the other, but that it probably due to the nature of internet forums. Here's to hoping everyone is excellent to each other!

The same logic could be applied to the players who don't wish to be viewed or record while in a public place. I sure wouldn't like it if I was trying to take a picture in front of Mt. Rushmore and somebody who doesn't want to be recorded or photographed kept jumping in my frame.

This sounds like a nice gesture. I am curious if the opposite approach could be undertaken as well - perhaps individuals could self-identify as not willing to be viewed or recorded in a public place where that expectation doesn't exist, but instead of having a RP-like labeled above their name, they could have a different label that reflects their personal beliefs. Of course, getting in to the labelling game is a can of worms. And for all I know, there could be a handful of people who would use such a label - just as there could be a handful of streamers who would be interested in using what you're suggesting.

I would say that falls under the Discord platform's Terms of Service then, but I'm not familiar enough with the platform to say that with any certainty.

That's a muddy cup of tea as I understand it. It certainly lacks clarity, that much we can agree on.

@VileTerror Yeah, that's not up for me to decide or not. These are the rules everybody agrees to when they log in to the game. If they don't agree to them, they are not able to play. My opinion on the matter of "content" or "user generated" is just as moot as anyone else's opinion. I don't own the IP, and I don't believe you or anyone else here does either. Thanks for the response though.

Are you typing that question rhetorically? On the edit, if you could demonstrate how you exist in a digital world and are able to override the sequences and commands of the game's code, I'd say you should probably share this feat of discovery with the world. A real world Neo in the Matrix. That would certainly set off a great deal of metaphysical discussion to say the least. If you're saying that a person playing a game in some how public guarantees any expectation of privacy, I'd say that is not accurate in the real world.

You don't own anything in this game. So when you say 'my this' or 'my that' it's irrelevant. Everything is property of the respective copyright holder, which is Paragon Studios, Cryptic, and NcSoft. Their names may have changed since 2012, but that's what is described in the HC ToS.

At least we heroes can sit on the top of the donut 🍩

Defender!

You're giving consent when you click 'I Agree' when you log in.

@TraumaTrain looks like I'm not going to make it back to the house in time, just wanted to give you a heads up in advance so you don't wait up on me.

I mean... nobody has any currency in this game. They have influence, infamy, or information. Have you ever tried to buy a donut with just your own renown?

Doesn't that set also max out at Level 30?

Program called "ScreenToGif" https://www.screentogif.com/ It's free and easy to use.

This is gonna sound silly, but try running through the tutorial again on a new character. The game REALLY kicks you in to 'figure it out on your own' mode once you leave your first planet. I remember being in a similar boat as you, and I ended up just staying on the same planet farming resources until I stopped playing 😆

What if the the developers on legacy actually used all of the Rogue Isles map? What if Horace Greene was the hero Peacebringer contact instead of Sunstorm? What if instead of Incarnate powers, the developers back on legacy just removed enhancement diversification? What if the Gargarin Space Station, the Armstrong Moonbase, or just a friggin outerspace zone was actually in game??? Or they completed the launch station! Okay, last one - what if Michael White actually stayed white? 😆 (Okay, I couldn't find a screenshot of him when he was white, but hopefully someone else here remembers that!)

Wow, you should do this for a living!

With no experience leading any incarnate trials, take this with less than a grain of salt - but perhaps if you notice someone willfully ignoring your stated goal (of getting Triple Threat), then you could right click that player's name and remove them from the instance. Laying on the chat will only work with folks who care to read it or can keep up with all of the information being put out. I think if you've gotten to the point that you're soliciting advice from this forum, you're well within your rights as the leader/organizer of the badge run to simply boot the player(s) who is/are not following your guidance. Good luck! I still need my incarnate trial badges, but I too loathe the teammate who nullifies hours of work by choosing not to do what they agreed to before hand.

Edit: Renamed character to "Highspeed" Highspeed Elec/Elec Stalker

Exciting! Put me down as tentative. I've got my Stalker 'Aerobic Shock' parked next to Virgil ready to go, but RL may dictate otherwise. I'll give my definitive answer by tomorrow at the latest.
