  1. I think the state of video games in general has changed since this game came out. The market principles behind MMOs, and really the entire genre of video games has evolved in to a platform driven by micro transactions and release then fix as it goes - at least for major studios. Then again, smaller developers have way more freedom in how they market and distribute their products, so its not so bad news. As to your question though, I'd want to see scaling texture resolution and really just an added capacity to support and develop mods.
  2. Pretty simple suggestion, though I'm against it because I enjoy "powering up" so to speak. With each new armor activated, it gives me the player a sense of power which translates to mitigating incoming attacks. I'm not against the convenience though, this would be nice for folks I think.
  3. I just wanted to say how apt that linked image is for the thread discussing red side population 🤣
  4. It is definitely in Ouroboros:
  5. I could've sworn that this badge mission is available through Ouro - Mask Maker Badge
  6. Edit: Nevermind! 😅 - I may have been thinking of Phase Shift.
  7. This brings up an interesting area of discussion regarding badges, and perhaps even playing this game in general. How bad do you want it? That is what it comes down to. If you want the badge, or the build, or the fastest completion time, or the most PvP wins - it comes down to how much time and effort the player is willing to put in to it. Back to the topic at hand though - I am comfortable with the current requirements for the Damage Taken badge set and don't support altering the requirements. This is partially due to knowing what the real Immortal badge used to require back on legacy (think 10 times as much as the current requirement) and partially due to the the relative effort I have to put in compared to other "epic" badge sets, such as Cataclysmic or the 'Master of..' badges. Now, to be fair to your point, it is easier to get the Immortal badge using all available methods out there right now. The easiest being having multiple accounts to set healers to auto on the badger taking damage - but if a person chose not to use all available methods and handicapped themselves to using only damage taken 'while not taking advantage of easier methods' route, it would take a good deal of "normal" playing time in my opinion. As @KaizenSoze so eloquently laid out on the last page of that thread you cited, the badge can be had in around two days of total time: Having played my main and badger since June 28th, 2019: ... and having used the above method (which I may or may not have been the first to discover 😁 said double fire patches), I can confidently say I have taken about 16 million damage outside of the badge requirement through "normal" playing. That may be due to my playstyle (ranged damage dealer) and I tend to solo content, and due to how often I play (3-4 hours a week at the moment). So you're not entirely wrong, but you aren't correct either when you say it cannot be obtained through normal play - it will just take time. At the end of the day, my opinion of my badges is that I feel like I put in enough effort for them to matter to me to collect them. My favorite badges rank among Cataclysmic, Chronomaster, Toy Collector and Bug Hunter. Because I worked hard for those badges using whatever means or methods were required to do so. And I enjoyed it!
  8. Just from looking at the title of this thread, the suggestion is to change the way everyone else plays to match the way the original poster wants to play. Hard pass.
  9. I've just never seen so much xp dropped at once before, was that a mission or task force completion bonus??
  10. I've been slowly nibbling at replays of perfect save files of The Legend of Dragoon (PS1 Classic) and Final Fantasy X on PS Vita. I've also dabbled in Conan Exiles, NMS, and Subnautica. I'm also really excited for the Halo Infinite game.
  11. Whoa that Iron Clad Beetle costume is awesome! @TraumaTrain! And how the heck did you get over 4 million xp @Midnyte??
  12. The first time I have requested assistance or support using the in-game Support Ticket was this past week and I was a little apprehensive. I don't normally ask for help, let alone in a video game. Well I had the hardest time finding the last NPC to rescue in a CoT mission map - after about 30 minutes of wandering and covering nearly every inch of the map, I was about to just log out and try again another day - but I was so confident I had looked everywhere, that I imagined that the NPC spawned outside of the map or something. All that to say that, in around 5 minutes of putting in a Support Ticket, @GM Impervium comes in to the mission to confirm that the NPC wasn't outside the map and give me some helpful hints to find this last NPC. From the moment I hit the support button until after the issue was resolved, @GM Impervium was an absolutely professional. Well later in the week I had an actual case of an enemy getting knocked outside a mission map, and unfortunately my NPC escort would not move along past the spot either due to aggro or because the way the attacking NPC escort script works. Anyways, I had cleared route back to the door and thought maybe the NPC would've de-aggroed by then. I return to the spot to find it still running in circles endlessly. This time, with a bit more confidence that this was a serious enough issue to submit a Support Ticket. I kid you not, in LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES, @GM Kal comes in like... ... and gets the dang enemy that was knocked outside of the map and brings them back in. I was floored - I didn't even have a chance to get a cup of coffee while I was waiting. I thought it was just good timing before on my last support ticket, but this gives me reason to believe that this is a standard response time for player support. Well I was blown away to say the least and I thanked @GM Kal profusely for the amazing player support (knowing full well that these folks are volunteers and have lives like everyone else). Soooooo who would've thought that today, I would use the Support Ticket function for a third time - this time I had a Shadow Shard mission map and one of my npc escorts fell to the bottom so that I couldn't get them without getting TP'ed back to the mission start. As if there was some kind of competition for which GM could resolve an issue fast enough, @GM Impervium comes in to my mission ready to fight! ... and worked some pretty epic claw machine magic... to resolve my issue and let me escort my NPC to the end of the mission map. So again, big thanks to @GM Kal and @GM Impervium!!!
  13. Also - meant to post this:
  14. Check this one out! Fire Guard - one of my main! A volunteer fire fighter with costume to match.
  15. Not sure if this billboard was on legacy or if it's a homecoming addition, but are there any Warren G. fans here? 😁
  16. Not a fan of this added insult. Perhaps just report the bug or issue with the costume piece so that the volunteers who pour countless hours in to this game can be aware of the issue?
  17. Just finished running all the Night Wars arcs through Ouro, and I'm fairly certain that zone exists outside of Praetoria in what was described as a dimension in between the living and the dead. It was sort of implied that the Netherworld was seeping in to the living and Night Ward was the focal point.

  19. I think with the added hindsight that arcane touched on, debt isn't really a concern to me. In fact, I have to actively and intentionally attempt to incur anything that doesn't disappear after a mission or two at most. I kid you not, I once deleted a character back in legacy around Issue 3 I believe, because they had so much debt it made getting to the next level a full time job.
  20. Is Huge identified in game as male? This whole time I thought it was a third gender! 😅
  21. Okay, so you are intentionally being obtuse. Let me break it down for you: If there is more than one option, it becomes a choice. If there is only one option, it is not a choice. In this case, there are a minimum of three options to choose from the list referred to by @arcane above. You can say you don't like it as much as you want, because that is your opinion - but you are wrong about saying they aren't choices.
  22. I love malaise pattern!
  23. What @arcane said ARE options, therefore the threshold for Null is not met. Regardless of your dislike of how the power works.
  24. Hello, welcome back! Check out this thread, you may see someone you remember or they may remember you!
  25. There are a few ways: Complete all the content from this contact and they will be relegated to another tab in the contacts list. Switch from hero to villain, or vice versa. This is only temporary though. Eventually outlevel their mission range.
