...and they don't want to have to be arsed to actually remember which character(s) they left parked on the platform in Echo:DA, and want the game to do it for them.

I've got almost a hundred 50s, and maybe a few are left in DA. They're scattered all over, getting day job badges. But you're right, I want the game to remember where they are parked. Hell, the game remembers a whole lot more than I can, so why not 1 more checkbox?

My guess is that underneath the request is the desire to do a quick logout and log back in to get rewards for something like Adamastor, which is on a daily timer and tends to get defeated quickly.

That was also part of it, but that thought came after my badge hunting for lore desire. I remember thinking, "Omg, it could be for XYZ, too."

[Where do I ask questions about game lore?]

Alright. I have three small questions regarding Siren's Call's lore. As I was writing the story, I realized I didn't know what (Q.1) Sunburst looked like (I wanted to reference his or her costume), nor what the (Q.2) body of water is called, located on the villain's side. I also don't know which rig (Q.3) is the Gazdul. Not overly important details, but when writing lore-specific stories, I want to be as descriptive and precise as possible within the minuscule 1,023-character limit (Give me more characters!) that we have.

 

When my character "fell," I didn't know what to call the body of water he was working in, nor which of the two rigs was the Gazdul, so I called it "the basin." I don't feel this is correct since the water doesn't appear to be "held." It looks like there is an outlet heading out into the North Atlantic, which implies movement. Anywho, that's what I wanted to know. Thanks for your reply 🙂

Thank you for the response. I looked at the wiki before posting this question for a couple of hours, but couldn't find the information I needed. I'm not sure anyone has the answers since the wiki and all the links provided therewithin came up with zilch.

[Where do I ask questions about game lore?]

I'm writing a story set in Siren's Call and need some questions answered. Thank you.

[My suggestion is: a location check box at the character select screen]

If you (the player) don't know if you have a character in Talos, you have to log in anyway to get to that zone. The search box eliminates the need to log in to check. The reason I'm making this suggestion is, while creating a character, I wanted to know which map had the oil spill near the carrier (for lore purposes). I couldn't remember, so I logged in thinking it was Talos, which didn't have the spill. I thought it was Sharkhead. Wrong again. Striga, wrong. I finally asked the help channel, and was told it was PO.

 

After writing all this, I realized the function is quite niche and specific to my thoughts at the time. Badge hunting for lore on a newbie is what I was after, so I thought, "Wouldn't it be neat if..." But yeah, locating the badge is pretty simple, and it may only take a couple of minutes. Dang it. Thought I was onto something here 😞

[My suggestion is: a location check box at the character select screen]

...a location check box under the characters in the character select screen.

 

Let's say you want to go to a specific zone (while at the character select screen), but you don't know if you have a character in the zone, and you don't want to click on your 330+ alts until you find one in the zone you want to go to, or log into a character and then port to said zone. Instead, you click the search query bar: type in "Talos," and a list of characters who are in Talos (if any) will populate, similar to what the check boxes that are already there do.

[Sentinel Screech power direction animation, skews to the right]

I'm not exactly sure what to put as the title. Screech, when fired, always skews to the right, but will still hit the target. It has happened every time since the update. This isn't a hit-check miss because the target will still get hit. It's an animation error. I'm not knowledgeable with picture taking/posting, otherwise I'd hang one here.

You know, making a character with the new frizz, and causing lag. Stahp.

You could attempt to copy and paste it into the box, but my suspicion is that won’t work.

I tried that and it doesn't.

[Is it possible to use the Windows Character Map In-game?]

I want to use the ⚡at the end of my character description where my character asks you, the reader, "Want sum Lyfe?" "No charge." ⚡He's an Elec/Elec Def named, Electric Lyfe for context.

[A 3rd and 4th Detail Category in Hoods...]

... that separates head details from face details, and beard/chin/jaw details from mouth details.

Horn detail with a face detail is what I'm really after with hoods.

Beard with a cig would be sweet as blueberry pie, too.

Seismic/Elec with procced out Thunderstrike and recoloured Void Judgement?

(Epic could be Arsenal for LRM, Elec for EM Pulse or Force for Forcebomb...)

 

Or just a Seismic/RadArmor Sentinel with procbombed Ground Zero.

I looked into those possibilities, and unfortunately, my dream made the impact of Meteor landing on Nova as it exploded, look and sound so bad ass, no other combination that we can make for any at, will meet that expectation for me. It's too bad you can't see my dream to see and hear what I did. /sad

["My" dream Archtype to play.]

A couple of weeks ago, I dreamt of a blaster with Nova and Meteor. The dream was so real, I got up to create him. His name is Let's Boom. Alas, reality is cruel, and dreams only make me drool.

I'm sorry, I wouldn't know how to even start trying to throw a hot spring.

You could also get a giant bucket and scoop out the hot spring. Dump it over my apartment. Please. 🥶

Well considering one of the main parts is to give valentines cards to people and the new update is celebrating a wedding, yeah it's a Valentines event. And it's also Spring somewhere. Technically Spring begins in the UK March 20th, but the daffodils are sprouting and there are buds on the trees. Winter began 21/12/2024 but I'd already had my heating on a month or so by that point. 

I guess one of the reasons I asked is because Paragon City is located in Rhode Island. So, my thought process for the question was based on the game's location and America's seasonal schedule. I look outside my window and see cars buried in snow. My brain isn't computing a spring setting: no pastels in sight.

It's called Spring Fling because you go around throwing elastic coils at people.

Are said coils heated before they are thrown? It's 7° F here and will get to a low of -1° F tonight. I will need the heat.

The set I think is overdue is a "Universal Control" set. Attack powers have no shortage of sets (including ATO and Winter)... and there are "control" powers that often have multiple potential status effects. It bugs me that we have Hami-O and D-Syncs that can fill this niche, but such (relatively) limited choices for the levels 10 thru 47 journey.

 

I also feel that there is a subtle asymmetry between the ATOs for different ATs (that is, which primary/secondary powers that can take certain ATs ATOs) that might get smoother out with a "Universal Control" set... plus it could narrow the gap between control powers which have a LOT of set options (e.g. Holds) with those which have fewer.

I can't argue with this at all. A UCS would be a most welcome addition to the game.

[Why is the "Spring Fling" hosted during the Winter?]

My biggest "want" for the Halloween event is, to have multiple enhancement sets like the winter event. One of the sets gets a proc that allows you to morph into one of the EBs for "x" secs and use their powers. And since V-Day got one, why not Halloween? IMO, this is long overdue.

*Grabs the two pennies*   They've stopped making these.  They might be valuable someday.

 

@tidge  is on target.  I wish this event was just called "Valentines" or something like that, and one of the other two events had "Spring" added to the name, but it is what it is.

You put those pennies back! I tossed em there to help the snow melt.
