In like Flynn and donated. Villainy shall continue. 🙂

Yes, I was Halloweening Friday and Saturday and recovering Sunday. I am not surprised it took longer for that reason. What I *AM* surprised about is despite the really rough economic times we're all going through, this community still has money left over for donations. Good job for all those who donated. 🥰

There, I said it. I'll die on that hill defending that point if I have to. I play mostly blasters and corrupters as a redsider and found solo ToTing is very difficult now that EBs pounce out of doors. I've averaged between 2 and 3 EBs every 10 minutes. Before anyone says anything, I don't doorcamp. I go from door to door so it is not a high click rate. Unless I adjust my notoriety level, I normally do not see overpowered NPCs in my mission rooms. Why am I seeing them in a common world area?

I have to add my own experiences as a solo ToTer being negatively impacted by this change. I play mostly blasters and corrupters as well as being mostly redside. It's bad enough they don't fair well solo against a EB, I also play a side that has a low player population. Normally the latter point is not an issue since I actually solo more than team, it's just that I think the EB coming out against a solo ToTer who is not a tank is a bit overkill. EBs should only appear in team ToTs. Leave us soloists alone.

And we are done. Hurray!!!!

I think we have until the end of this month so I wouldn't worry....YET. In fact, I don't know what exactly happens if we have a shortfall where we don't get enough money. I understand why it's been taking longer to meet the goals and it has to do with the cost of, well everything, going up in price. Less disposable income available. For me to keep donating the same amount, I had to cut back on other things. I love this game and if I have to give up on drinking coffee or dropping Netflix Canada I will do that too.

Us Canadians use Monopoly money! Maybe I should say Canadian Tire money!

Donated. Once again banks in Paragon City will continue to be robbed and NPCs will continue to be kidnapped by myself and other redsiding free-thinkers.

Did you get a receipt via Email?

Tried to donate but ran into a service 500 error. I will try again later. Tried again and was able to get through. YAY! Now I can rob more banks and kidnap more citizens!

And my donation went to ensuring banks are never safe from robberies and rich people are never safe from kidnappings!

We're done! So, do we have the full month to meet every goal? Because of rising costs in gas and food thanks to inflation, people are understandably reluctant to donate. I get that and understand completely.

Donated! Villainy Shall Continue!!!

I don't really do a lot of TFs and SFs, actually. Compared to some players, I'm really slow and can't keep up with the rest of the team. While I mostly solo mission just to keep at a stress-free pace I'm comfortable with, I do like the DFBs and SBBs.

Just....made...the...window. Forgot this was the last Saturday of the month. Wait, are you saying we hit our donation mark in two hours? 😮

I have a Wolf Spider character will soon be a Crab. Is it worth preserving any Arachnos Soldier or Training and Gadgets after my respec?

I hope you had a great long weekend. 🙂

It's the thought that counts. You'll get your chance. 🙂

And thats's a wrap! YAY!

I got that once when the stampede to donate was pretty high. It may explain why we have not hit 100% yet. That, or the long holiday weekend has people away from the game. Anyways, when this happens, I switch to paypal or my debit card.

I'm actually surprised how fast it is being filled since (correct me if I am wrong) this is a long weekend for my American neighbours (I am from Canada).

Added and already 75% of the way!

Everlasting but because of the RP. I might start an alt on Excelsior for the purpose of, well, actually playing the game. 😁

Summer Block Busters and DFBs I can still do and am happy to do since it is hard to build a team up for that.

There's been some mention of retention over recruitment and a good part of the former has nothing to do with tweaking code or improving response time but the people itself. Like most MMOs there's the "git guud" crowd who have little patience for slowbees on a team. I'm still recovering from COVID19 I contracted a while back, so doing TFs/SFs are a challenge. I can't process spatial input like I used to so I fall behind a lot. I've gotten the harsh edge of that attitude a few times as a result from that. This same attitude could chase off newcomers who are forgiving about the game's aged appearance but won't forgive some members of the community with a superiority complex when it comes to teaming. That would be a good place to work on improvement.
