I do T3 Alpha first, then T3 Lore and Density. Then I just work on getting the others to T3, and when I get a Very Rare I normally do the T4s in order of Lore, Density, Alpha, Interface, Hybrid, Judgement.

Some nice results in this thread, most a lot better then I get.

The last month or so I've been playing around with Krita and added graphics for the background stories of some of my characters. Below are a couple of samples. The full list can be found using the below link to a Google Photos album. For most I had help from a AI, some more then others and a few where done with no AI help at all. The primary tool used was Krita. I tried all different styles, some turned out nice while others, not-so-much. But I definitely got better at using Krita the more I used it.

Excel spreadsheets are like side quests.... I have one badge workbook for each server with the following sheets - iTrials, Specials, Events, Task-Strike Forces, Trials, Day Jobs. Each column been a individual character. I also have a MS Word document to record what Incarnate powers each character has, that is currently at 207 pages. I should also make a spreadsheet for character names, AT and power sets. I currently record this information in text document and I've been too lazy to improve it. Each time I want to create a new character I copy and paste the list into excel as data to work out which combination I haven't try yet. And each time I do create a new character I always think "I should save this workbook", but for some reason I never do.

I confused. I was there at the last event and did notice the disagreements in chat. However, I don't remember anything been said about Kronos been a huge problem because it was causing all the lag. From what I understand the talk was about if Kronos causes the other GMs (Baggage) to wander more then they normally do, or not. The OP does mention this side of the discussion, but rest of the thread seems to be only fixated on the possible Lag issue. I didn't just sit and listen to every single chat message so I may missed a fair bit of it. But for me the real issue was that someone organised a event and others decided to go against what they ask people to do (or not do). Then someone (I have no idea if it was the same person or not) wouldn't stop complaining about it and appeared to basically be trying to stir up trouble.

This reminded me of the early days of Homecoming, not long after I started I got a tell from some random guy demanding that I change (or delete) my character name so he could use it. His reasoning, he had that character name on live. I pointed out that I also had the same character name on live, so obviously we where on different servers back then. He confirmed that he was on Freedom, while I was on Infinity. But somehow he still insisted that he had the right to the name on this new server and advised that if I didn't delete my character he would put in a ticket. He got a bit rude after that, maybe my reply of "LOL" didn't help things.

I don't think I have ever moved a (slotted) enchantment from one character to another. Once the sets are slotted I trend to leave them as is, even if better sets are added to the game or the powers are altered. Each time I get a new alt to 50 it doesn't really cost me much to fit them out as I keep any good enchantments I find ready in supergroup bins. It normally only costs less then 75 million to buy the few enchantments I don't already have.

I definitely don't think it's a problem, far from it. Ever since I start playing computer games (in 1980 if I remember right) I always ended up having multiple characters in any game that allowed it. It was (and still is) one of the best way to experience the full game, especially with games like COH were you can create a number of diverse characters.

Firstly, I’m an altcoholic. Starting way back on live I started to build one character for every AT/Power set combination (across four accounts), and when Homecomming started I recreated most of them. Because I’m not completely crazy, I’ve tried to limit this to Power Set favours rather than every single combination, there are so many possible combinations. So far, I haven’t found any unplayable combinations. I trend to solo them until 50, then do the DA arcs and as many iTrials as I can (often difficult due to my time-zone). Although, I never “retire” any of them, most I only play rarely once then get all T4 incarnate powers. There are a handful that I keep going back to but there is only one that I actively attempt to get badges for (I guess it would be consider my main). Currently I have around fifty 50’s and about fifteen in the late 40’s plus others. It would be a lot more if I didn’t take long periods away from the game over the years. What I have noticed lately is that every new character I create seems to end up stronger and more powerful than those that I created previously. I’m not sure that if this because I’m getting better at creating builds or if it’s just the natural evolution of the game.

Keep in mind that the Instance Mother Ship Raid was always designed for level 35+ players (as far as I'm aware). I really can't see any reason why it was changed, it's not as if getting to level 1 to level 35 is a major grind these days and there are other options to speed that process up. I'm normally against raid leaders been about to set gatekeeping options in games as that often lead to elitists attitudes, but in this case it makes perfect sense to change it back to how it was.

On some of my characters I don't get the chat message that tell me how many items are sitting in the Sold and Bought tabs on the Auction House every time I log in (even if there weren't items sold or bought since the last logon). On most of my characters this happens automatically by default and appears in the Global chat. I've search all of the settings in Options and can't find any that apply. Adding the "Consignment House" channel to a chat tab doesn't help as that just gives you the AH messages as they happen. I can remember people talking about this same issue back on Live but can't remember if there was ever a solution for it. Does anyone know?

I haven't read the whole thread yet, but with all the issues people are raising (on the 1st page) wouldn't a simple solution be to just based it on the number of different ATs on the team? For example the bonus is applied if you have at least five different ATs? (I just picked "five" at random, it could be any number what ever feels right) PS: Now that I had time to read more of the thread, I can see that I'm not the first to suggest this.

Like Xandyr, the first time I did an update it just stopped halfway, after deleting all the exe's. I had to then download the version from the site again which was 3.2.17, now it says there is a Update and at first that seems to work but after the update it's still version 3.2.17. Edit: Just found the discord server, I not 100% sure, but seems version 3.3.1 is a temp release for a problem in 3.2.17. The problem with the updating loop has been noted, so I just going to wait for the next update (that covers page 4) and manually reinstall if I have to.

Same here Warpact, it starts updating, deletes the old exe and stops. Will have to download manually I guess.

I just started playing again after 2 1/2 years (was out locked out of country due to COVID). Just saying.
