Right, I forgot to comment on this. Sorry. Anyway, at least part of the reason why Lord Recluse and the patrons help you in the fight against Darrin Wade as he progresses his plan to become Rula-Wade and why they go with you (if you let them) to help fight Rula-Wade is because Lord Recluse very much wants to tear down Darrin Wade for having killed Statesman. (It's not the only reason, but it is a strong reason.) To the point that you can let Lord Recluse and the patrons handle a lot of the fighting with Rula-Wade. No effort to protect themselves from his power, just 'there he is! ATTACK!!!' feeling dedication. So no, there won't be a reunion gift from Red Widow of Darrin Wade to Lord Recluse. He pretty much already got his mad on taken care of. As long as Darrin Wade rots in Vanguard's care, Lord Recluse is probably content with letting him live having helped topple him at the height of his power. (Which as far as Recluse is concerned, shows he is superior to Statesman, and Darrin Wade's victory over Statesman was a lucky fluke rather than Wade having accomplished something Recluse had not in all the time he and Statesman knew each other.)

Ikol would like to have a word with you. Don't worry though. I hear he is the most stick in the mud, no pranks allowed deity ever.

Are you Thor, God of Hammers? ... Or are you Thor, God of THUNDER. - Odin, to Thor when dealing with Hela.

Except it isn't a hanging thread. Darrin Wade is captured at the end of the series. You, the player, capture him. That SSA arc culminates with a visual of the captured Darrin Wade facing Lady Grey who makes clear in no uncertain terms the lengths she is willing to go to pry everything Wade has out of him. She and Vanguard get him because of you, the player. When you defeat him in his empowered semi-Rularuu Rula-Wade form.

He's not the only dev character that was killed. I see no reason to bring him back unless the Live dev plan for Tyrant to become the new Statesman is put in play. (Edit: Besides, I rather enjoy the tip mission where you pose as Statesman and the NPCs are all "WAIT! You're ALIVE?!".)

Yeah, that should work fine as an AE arc. I don't see it being how Paragon City actually works though. Because it sure seems to e that the War Walls break up the city by zone, not by voter ethnicity.

If you are going to break up my comment, kindly do so in a way that makes sense. You are so eager to "Whoops!" or 'Whoopsie!" other posters that you didn't even bother to realize I did not say @Laucianna is giving three options, but that those are the three options that I see available.

Dammit GM2! Now I want Kheldian... I mean... calamari....

Except there is absolutely no way for other possible victims to know they don't have to worry any more unless the GM publicly announces the punishment, the complainant runs around telling others of the punishment, or the banned player's friends run around telling others of the ban. You say you are against the first happening. (Which I appreciate.) The second currently isn't possible because the GMs don't tell anyone what actions they took against someone. Which leaves option 3. You may not think it, but you are asking to make option 2 possible. Which still leads to angry discussions about what happened. (Option 3 is less likely to happen because the offender is not likely to know who reported him/her/them unless the offender was only harassing a single specific player. See response to #2 above.

That's fine. You do realize this makes your stance seem to be "make the punishments known so we can all argue about it", right?

Different circumstances, different expectations. For instance, in the military we are told "praise in public, punish in private". Anyone can go to their superior at any time and make a complaint. (This is encouraged.) Said superior now has an obligation to investigate, but not to inform the complainant of anything other than "I have heard your complaint". Any disciplinary actions are done in private. If the discipline is not done in private? It is because everyone is getting hit with the discipline hammer. (And if it seems like nothing is being done? Or if the superior is complicit or shielding the offender? You can elevate to his/her/their superior. Until you can no longer elevate....) You attempt to resolve things quietly. To not disrupt morale or unit cohesion any more than the original complaint already did. To find a resolution that fixes the problem if there was one without making a spectacle of it. Why? Because not only is the possible offender at risk when the disciplinary actions are taken, but so is the person that reported that person. There was a time when our group commander called a mandatory surprise Commander's Call and stated "I know you all heard the rumors about an incident. Drop it. Leave it alone. Any attempts to learn more will result in disciplinary actions." Why? Because the person that was being harassed and reported the harassment came under even more personal attacks, from others not previously involved in the situation, because the incident became known. The victim was being persecuted. By the other people in the unit. Because it was found out she had reported the problem. Our group commander. For a squadron-level reported incident. It went that far. Yes, this is a video game and not the military. However, I have seen even in games where players band together against a perceived threat to one of their own from players outside their group. And reporting what actions were taken in regards to reported complaints leads to further conflict between players. Because one group of players will think the punishment was too much and others will think it wasn't enough. Not even from the involved parties, just from those that found out. Then lines will be drawn between different camps of thought on the matter. I get the desire to know what happened when a player files a complaint. Especially in the case of dedicated harassment. I also understand why punitive measures employed by the GMs aren't reported to players, even if said player was the originator of the report. All I can say is document everything. Make sure you have a library of proof to provide the GMs for things like harassment. Give them ample evidence to be able to take action. Give them ample followup proof if the behavior persists so they can in good conscience take more severe actions if warranted. And understand that with how easy it is to make an account, even that probably won't be enough to finally put an end to it. (There is a reason why gold farmers in games like WoW persisted, even flourished, despite the efforts of Blizzard and other companies to shut them down.)

Which happens with absolutely every attack in the game including nukes. And also happens with heals. And rezzes. And you have already been told this repeatedly. Welcome to being on a team. Where the chaos that is combat means that not all of your abilities will get to be used to maximum effect or even at all at times.

I'm guessing that space is for the war walls and to have room to show transition links. (Edit: The reason I say this is because the zones look like puzzle pieces that fit together but are placed gapped for reference purposes. Or rather, like the zone itself is drawn smaller on the map than it actually is so there are gaps for reference purposes.)

Galaxy City is boxed in by Kallisti Wharf to the north, King's Row to the south, Perez Park to the east, and Independence Port to the west. You can't make protrusions to expand Galaxy City without taking territory from one of those four zones.

I'm fine with it taking a very long time. I fully understand the situation. However, I would very much prefer a continuation of the story that I have to wait to get than simply plop the old Galaxy City map except with maybe a few changes as a rebuilt before any other destroyed part of the city just to bring back Galaxy City and roll back/do away with the story that was part of its destruction.

Paragon City still hasn't been rebuilt from the Rikti war. The older destroyed regions which the city would have been planning and trying to get funds to rebuild should be done before they start working on Galaxy City's reconstruction. That said, I do agree with one thing. Galaxy City as a new high level zone would be a good idea. And it is something the HC devs seem to be working on given the stories we have about it. Not an already reconstructed Galaxy City, but the destroyed one with all the (possible) horror and danger that awaits.

... And now I'm picturing a new movie called Marital Kombat with modified original Mortal Kombat songs as soundtrack....

Video of it please. Sounds like a bug. Edit: When I'm duo'ing with a friend, there are times we both hit our Judgements. She's faster almost every time. And my Judgement never does "nothing" if there are targets to be hit still.

Why are you telling me this? I mean, it's great you find that information useful. I still don't. However, like I said in the post you quoted, I'm fine with your suggestion being implemented. I did not say the OP was game breaking. I did not even oppose the OP. I specifically made a point of saying I am okay with the OP in my post you quoted. So, why are you telling me something you already stated in the OP?

They both reside in the same place for me.

THIS!!!!! Oh so very much this! I don't know how hard it would be, but if possible, this would be great!

No! Never! How dare you ask for that?! Joking aside. This has been asked for many times. I would like to see this happen too please.

@skoryy is right. The only explanation I can see for this continued argument is you being a troll. I'm going to follow his/her/their example.

You hold the opinion that an argument is stupid. You made a thread seeking to get dev support to validate your opinion. You stated you made that thread with the purpose of getting people to stop making those arguments. How else is anyone supposed to take this entire thread and your arguments in it? You can think something being said is stupid all you want. Trying to get dev or GM validation for that? Especially with the intent to try and get those comments stopped? That is just asking for pushback on.

Oh ho ho ho! REALLY?! So this isn't you?: Edit: If you don't want to deal with common salvage for crafting? The AH is right there for you to just spend inf' on to get those crafted items you want without having to deal with common salvage. That already exists.
