Yeah, bollocks to that. I've literally just re-read from Dark Mirror onwards online, and that's some reviewer's twisted thinking on things. (a) Neuron believes there's a weird relationship between them, but there's no mention of sexuality (b) "all capacities" isn't mentioned once in that comic and (c) You have the typical sexist drawing of a female character in a panel. So OF COURSE this is that. No it isn't.

What now? This again? This is not a thing.

Reunion. Because the other four Shards already ARE named in the Anniversary Badge list.

Much as I'm not a fan of Longbow, I think an LB equivalent of the VEATs should be a thing. Yeah, I KNOW PBs and WSs are the "equivalent", except they're not really in a content narrative sense. So obviously Villains would need some corresponding version that side, OR at least PB & WS villain arcs to complement the hero side ones. And don't get me started on Gold needing everything! Also, Hero Corps? Can they actually DO something for once?

People are probably getting sick of me crossposting this, BUT...I'm crossposting this. LOL. I LOVE that one. LOVE it.

This would be ideal for things that "didn't fit canon" or were just completely odd! It'd fit the rest too as well.

LOVED the detail and care and just fun of it. BUT...I play a lot of AE, give some of the writers in there those tools and maybe you'll see a whole extra bazoom alongside the cool Dev material. From this player's perspective LB should just be gone from the Rogue Isles and have the Isles move forward in a better way.

"But the 20 somethings think they look good while they do their petty stuff." Fixed it for you.

I think, I think, trying to remember now, that the AE in Brickstown (hazy memory on it, it's up against a war wall I think) the power suppression doesn't work in that one.

Nope, that's the game forcing you into a group that needs X+Y to succeed. I LIKE that most things can be solo'd, I do. But teaming has its fun too. I'm probably whistling in the wind here (not at you now) but a sea change in attitude is needed, so that teams are treated as teams and not just extra bodies to up NPC numbers/blah blah. So in the spirit of "be the change" albeit some may get pissed at me, I drop from teams that are just 8 people soloing in the same mission. Leprechaun Hanukah?

I'm for this. See other post on a (possibly deranged?) solution to doing this relatively rapidly.

DC/Warners are pretty much to blame though, however you feel about Snyder's vision. They've come off the Dark Knight trilogy on a high, were rebooting Superman with Nolan as producer, and TBH that movie is not bad at all. BUT...look across the street at Marvel! "We need to catch up and we don't need to put the ground work in to get where they are now, do we, Zack? That wasn't really a question, Zack. Get it done." And then we are where we are. I actually enjoyed ZSJL, but to each their own I suppose. I always viewed the DCEU as more mythic and operatic in some ways than the MCU, and it mostly stuck to that. They could do with a Winter Soldier in there, but they got Wonder Woman, so that works. And Aquaman was (a) by the numbers but (b) just fun, and Shazam, ah, lovely. And the confusion continues with the absolute piece of shit that is Joker. I didn't like "King of Comedy" before, why would I watch the Clownface version of it? At least it is off to one side.

I am not going to say "correctly or "incorrectly", I simply state my own play style. For me I join a team to be on a team, not on "8 players solo everything", or more to the OP's point, "3 players solo everything and 5 wander about aimlessly sucking up XP." It seems mad I have to say this but teams team. Now, if you're happy to be on the "8 players solo everything" grouping then more power to you, and I hope you have fun. But for me teams, well, team, not just group together. Now this doesn't mean keeping together in some sort of murder-huddle, or falling into the Holy Trinity fallacy of each player/character absolutely needing an assigned role, but for me at least teams should offer the chance of actual team work. That's it really.

I'm just going to throw this in here. Obviously it needs further development but I'm thinking a halfway house between AE and so on.

Of course, before we get ahead of ourselves, a slew of contacts like that should firstly be given to Vigilantes/Rogues, because frankly they need it.

That said, I DID advocate - and some thought me mad - that Echo DA be (a) changed to PVP or (b) doubled (like when the game generates a second version of a zone due to cap levels) as a PVP zone. Hunting through the fog, people!

(a) God no. (b) See (a). (c) Did I mention (a)? See (a). (d) You might not be alone, but you'd still be on a lonely server.

Well, I don't play on Everlasting, but I I wish you well! EDIT: And I managed to NOT see your final comment, mea culpa!

We've drifted a bit!

See, you say limiting themselves, I don't even see it like that. It is literally not important to me as long as I'm having fun. Sure, you want to be tough enough to survive, but that's it mostly. Limiting? Nope. Are you Daredeveil or Thor? If the former you have way more scope, and no it's not limiting, it's just a different path. If the latter then if it's not God butchers, Thanos or Hela (bit of Loki thrown in) you're outta luck. But as I say, each to their own. As to 2 to 3 people steamrolling through a TF and 5 flunkies? I just quit those. Yeah, my bad. But I didn't join a team to bulk up your numbers on XP, and I don't play that way, so toodles. As an aside, we really need to nerf the term "endgame content", what is meant is Incarnate level and beyond, rather than content that happens at the end of the game, because content wise plenty of the actual "endgame content" isn't near level 50+. New Praetorians being an example.

I still find it wonderful that people have such different types of fun in this game though 🙂 I personally care nothing for builds or what have you, it's all about story story story, and the AEs I look for could be just medium/low level powerwise but if it has a good story then that's a hit for me. Each to their own I suppose.

Now wouldn't that be great?

Did they not play all the other content?

ah sarcasm.

Cap teams at 5 outside of Incarnate Trials! WOO!
