PeregrineFalcon

You switched from your normal account to your GM account and then deleted a bunch of posts that weren't violating any of the rules.

You and me both, and I have the Warning Points to prove it. It sure is a good thing that I've been careful to not make any personal attacks. But hey, you feel free to report my posts. It's ok. I'm used to it.

Yep, running a Task Force with "Enemies Buffed" is difficult, it's supposed to be. Guess what, not only will a tank not take that much damage because of resistances but if you have a good support character, like a Defender, they can help your tank to either not take or recover from said damage. Look, I think it's great that you can tank on your all Storm Defender team. But, in those rare circumstances where you can't, it makes no sense to act like it's a problem that needs to be solved. It isn't. Bottom line, your Defender cannot tank as well as a Tank can. That's not a problem that needs to be addressed. It's supposed to be that way.

You know, I don't usually agree with Snarky but when I do it's because he's right. You were trying to TANK with a DEFENDER. My Tank can't buff/debuff (or heal) and apparently your Defender can't tank. It's almost like this game has different character archetypes for a reason. What's next? Are you going to start complaining that your Defender doesn't do as much damage as your Blaster? Never mind, we already had that thread last month. Invite a TANK to your team, problem solved.

Shortly after Shield Defense went live on the retail servers my friends and I all created Broadsword/Shield Scrappers. We tried but were never able to get most emotes to work for more than a second or two if they worked at all. If even some of the emotes work now then that's an improvement from how it was in 2008/2009.

I seem to remember that, in beta, people complained that the height scale in the character creator only went to 7 feet, so the scale was changed to go up to 8 feet. The characters weren't made any larger mind you, the only change was the numbers that showed on the left side of the screen in the character creator. So your character that's 7 foot tall in the character creator is really only 6 foot tall in the game world.

It looks like I've been doing radio missions on My Island wrong all these decades. I generally start at +2/x6 and work up to +3/x8. Of course my teammates are usually under 50 and don't have any set IOs. I usually end up with Magnum Detective Selnum. And I don't avoid caves, because I actually like the cake room. Of course I always picked a variety of enemies to keep things from getting boring, so I'm one of the few that isn't upset with the Council upgrade.

It's always been this way, ever since the shield powerset first went live back in 2008.

Every set needs to have a downside. Bio doesn't seem to have any except for the horrible appearance. I always thought that was the downside. For example: Invuln: "You get to be awesome, but you have a weakness to Psi attacks." Stone: "You get to be awesome, but you're slow." SR: "You get to be awesome, but you don't have a self-heal." Bio: "You get to be awesome, but you look like giant poo man."

So first you need to go into City Hall in Atlas Park and talk to the person there to start a Super Group. Once you have that go to the base portal, choose "Enter my Super Group base" and then start building your base.

Look at your chat window. This is one of those missions where you're supposed to ESCAPE from the base. Those kinds of missions do not give you an exit mission button for that specific reason.

Try 7thKevin. The space breaks the old code of this game for some reason. There's a reason that I'm PeregrineFalcon instead of Peregrine Falcon.

I think the best solution to the Tough/Weave issue that keeps coming up is to make Boxing and Kick worth taking. The real issue is that people don't want to waste a power pick, so make it so they're not wasted power picks. If Boxing does enough damage to actually be worth using in combat that won't be power creep, it'll just be another attack. None of the powers that a player can pick should be utter garbage.

Ah yes, Mission Impossible. I missed that one. And I guess I should also exclude cartoons and anime stuff from my otherwise sweeping declaration. Obviously Michael Bay's Transformers was financially successful even though I didn't care for it. I admit that my memory isn't what it used to be so perhaps I should say that the vast majority of the reboots in the last 25 years have been garbage, in my opinion, and that the box usually, but not always, agrees with me on that.

Of all of the reboots of movies and TV shows that have happened over the last 25 years I think the only one that's been successful is Battlestar Galactica.

Speaking as someone who is not a dev, but who has a little bit of experience with contracts, I can tell you that it probably is contractually forbidden for the Homecoming devs to work with or help other servers in any way. The Council of Thirteen (the group who controls Homecoming) has also probably signed NDA's which forbid them from discussing the contract and/or certain portions of the contract.

I think this is a misconception. No one asked for a reboot of the Fall Guy. Most people don't remember the series, have no idea who Lee Majors or Heather Locklear are, and are tired of the garbage that's been coming out of Hollyweird lately. All they really know is that it's a reboot and, for a lot of people, that's enough for them to decide to not see it. Humans are really good at pattern recognition, and for the last 20 years the pattern many people have seen is Reboot = Garbage. Unfortunately until Hollywood regains their reputation for putting out good movies people are just going to stop watching movies. Which means that the occasional good movie is going to go unnoticed. It's unfortunate but, until Hollywood starts hiring new writers, that's the way it's probably going to continue to be. And Hollywood has no one to blame but themselves.

Hey shut up! Luminara's saying nice things about me, for a change. 😁 Ok, back on topic. I don't really care if this is implemented or not. I do however suspect that the OP's actual reason for wanting this is as a first step to trying to get the devs to allow names to no longer be unique by allowing the global@charactername method, as discussed in the most recent name release thread.

So basically I'm such a meanie that I scare the stalkers away without even realizing it? Well, you all have to deal with stalkers and I have to deal with mods. I think I got the better end of the deal. At least mods occasionally listen to reason.

You know, I've seen more than one post in this thread, and multiple posts in other threads over the years about being stalked and/or harassed. I've been on the internet since 1996 and I've never had anyone stalk and/or harass me. Maybe they tried and I didn't notice because I ignored them once they started annoying me? I don't know. But it just seems weird to me that my experience on the internet can be so wildly different from the norm. You all are constantly being stalked and/or harassed. Meanwhile I'm over here just enjoying my time on the internet. It's like TV but better because I get to interact with the stuff on the magic screen. Serious question: why is my experience on the internet so wildly different from the norm?

This would be a nerf, flat out. Currently a Sentinel can, if he times it right, have Vulnerability on two targets. Turning it into a toggle limits it to one target. I'm not certain why you want to nerf Vulnerability, but my response is:

If you go to Notifications > Options > Push Notifications > Allow Notifications - a pop up in your browser will ask if you want to allow notifications. There you can select "Always Block" and then you'll never see the request to allow push notifications ever again.

I agree, and I apologize if my earlier posts sounded like I was saying that you're not allowed to comment about this, or any other, subject. I should have worded my posts better.
