I had posted something similar to this in the past, but asked for an account base which has all the characteristics of a base, but allows your account alts to be able to deposit stuff in the account base, while being able to belong to an SG.

Lets not make a point of extremes, if you please, and this is exactly the point I been trying to make. I never said, do not let corrections, enhancements, etc not be made -

GooglyMoogly, I tend to agree with you, especially since it would take a lot of GM oversight, which is a sad thing. The spirit that I was trying to convey is that if this is going to be a useful "suggestion" outlet for normal players to make suggestions, it needs to facilitate doing that, and even encourage it. The problem is that there is a handful of players, that tend to be very negative about whatever is being proposed (regardless if the concept was good/bad/indifferent), that gives me the perception of maliciousness in the activity. And as the suggestion gets hit by the negative nanny, other players responds to the negative nanny, and becomes a never ending rant and the original suggestion got lost in the maelstrom and becomes to chaotic for a potential developer to even pay heed to the request. Frankly, as sad as it is, I agree with you, would take too much GM policing, and thus the suggestion forum is pretty much moot. -
I used to be among those who would love to see a way to get tough and weave soonest, and often hopped kick would go away, but since I been mastering the art of IO placement, I found that Kick is one of the few powers that you can choose to have melee or ranged or AOE defense IO sets, so you can up what you need, really truly versatile. Ironically given the IOs plusses to the defense of your choice, makes the get rid of kick thought sort of pointless after all. To be honest, I would like to get rid of the pre-requisites for pool powers with regards to an order of choice for the choices within the pool given the reason for pool powers was to round the character.

To begin, thank you for moderating! Big Hug As I try to post or read other posts, you can categorize respondents into supportive or just down anti whatever you post, ask for a QoL and they tell you work around it, at times they are polite enough to tell you how, despite you described the how and the why you want relief from that specific work around. Perhaps my suggestion, since folks are trying to influence the game in a positive manner to their style of play which may be not quite unique but quite popular; to actually put the stops to the negative nannies, even bar for a day or two to get them to be more supportive or just have them say nothing if they can't be supportive. I am fine, if the response is to tell you there is already a way to do it, seemslessly but the player simply did not know. -
Please make MM upgrade powers passive

Way to put an end to a dream, ha ha ha ha -
I get the QoL suggestion... I have over 55 alts, all but 1 are in the same "home SG" where they can share goodies. The 1, my main is a member of Chaos United and as aa result I can't save stuff with that alt in the home SG" which at times, the work around, is just tedious, such a getting a friend to take your stuff and hand it back when you switch alts... Perhaps, a QoL solution is for SGs to have a "Special Guest" status, where the base allows the special Guest, while not a member, to have access to the storage in the base. Thus the base would show a list of members and another for special guests. Just a suggestion....

ITF - Last Mission Imperious Upgrade (or removal?)
DrRocket replied to Renatos1023's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
I have made it a little game or goal to get Imperious and the Positron like roman to actually survive the missions, it would be a cool set of badges to get: Kept Imperious Alive and the same with the positron looking looser Regards -
ITF - Last Mission Imperious Upgrade (or removal?)
DrRocket replied to Renatos1023's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
No? No what? Can you give a bit of detail of what is so objectionable? -
I get it, that during the live days of this game, there was a need to have time sinks to give players the illusion that the mission is longer or bigger, the maps bigger and what not. Yet today, we play the game willingly, and it is free too (but I am happy to contribute when I can), so there is no need for time sinks, they are irrelevant for the contemporary player seeking to have a good time. So why not remove them, little by little? Time sinks that come into mind is making players traveling across zones, when really it is not needed. I remember doing an SF, where it sent you to another zone, but the pointer sent me to a boat in my zone, did the mission at the other zone and when finished we returned to the home zone. Thus the feel of going elsewhere was there, but the time sink of the pointless travel was not there, which I felt was great. Another time sinks are the kill all mobs, this was a problem even during live days. It was resolved by making them a 90% kill of the mobs, perhaps this can be re-instated. Of course if the players want to stay in the mission, despite that the mission has been completed, and do kill all the mobs in order to gain experience its their choice. Frankly, I like choice. Another time sink is kill the boss and his guards, but it becomes a near kill all when the boss is placed in a mega room (which often the room is about 80% of the map) because you have to kill all the mobs in the room, not the mobs that were part of the boss's team. Perhaps killing the boss and his immediate guards would be a fix to this time sink. Makes me think, when you rescue the councilman in Manticore you defeat the mobs only in the room where the councilman was at, and not all the mobs in the mega-room. Another type of time sink is when mobs that have Moment of Glory which I refer to "way too long moment of boredom" really needs to go , the game needs to be fluid and able to keep a good fun pace, without "commercial interruptions" Another insidious time sink is running mobs, really is this needed at all? Running mobs actually makes the game boring and tedium, not more fun. I am sure there are other time sinks, feel free to add to this list, but also include with your nomination what you would think the fix would be. I will not deny, the game as is is fun, but it can be improved and be made even greater, and much more fun which is the intent of this post. Please try not to propose work arounds, work arounds are band aids at best and not a fix, but if provided they could be informative and thus welcome if provided with good heart Perhaps those that disagree with the removal of time sinks, could start another threat asking for the addition of time sinks? Regards

I would like to see the running mob mechanic go away, since it is a time sink event. Frankly, the days of the time sink as a necessity to fake the game is bigger than what it really is, is no longer needed at all. So yes, remove the running mob, it is a very unwelcomed time sink event, that adds boredom to the game, I am sure there will be a player or two, who actually will claim that chasing mobs all over the map and looking for them all over the map is the greatest form of fun they could possibly experience. regards

If I understand properly your suggestion, it would mean, you click the toggle, and an area about you provides to all friendly players get the status effect protection If my understanding is correct, I can find myself supportive of the suggestion, but truly why bother? In the case of my emp, since clear mind is really not needed in the game (in my opinion), as it used to be in live days; I dropped it in order to get Rune of Protection instead. Other support classes if built right, would also have Rune of Protection and Sheer Will for status effect protection making clear mind pointless. Hope this helps you with your dilemma

My standard is 2 LotG, the Defense and the defense/Global recharge ones. because I am going for the defense bonuses primarely and then the recharge is just frosting on the cake Regards

I have, but the sample quantity is low, under 25 atm, and all were supportive of it; from many folk's perspective it did not impact how the play
