As a former runner of the World's Slowest ITF™, I would be interested!

I know 14 is too many, because my Plant/Nature had to name her Fly Trap "V. Dentata." (Probably just as well.)

Yes! I was coming here to say exactly that, but not as well! After your dental x-ray, you don't walk around irradiating your co-workers. But the important thing is, the Tick will be back!

I was stomped into the pavement by a GM-sized version of myself. Such an honor!

She's nasty that way.

I loved this entirely too much!

I believe the traditional 6-slotted Rest was 2 recharge, 2 health, and two stamina. Nowadays you can skip the recharge and go 3 health 3 stamina, or maybe skew in favor of whatever you run out of more often.

I guess you can make a new build, but stop before you level up that last time.

I hear ya! I felt the same way when I turned 60. Can't I just go back to being 59?

There are great guides for getting the passive and active accolade powers the laziest way. Does anyone have any advice for easing the pain of getting this one? -Lazy Doc

Well, it's a material that theoretically exists in our SCRL universe. (It's what neutron stars are supposed to have at their core, atoms crushed so hard that the protons and electrons combine and all that's left is a big ball of nearly-touching neutrons. Maybe with an "atmosphere" of quark soup.) So I don't see why it wouldn't exist in-game.

Fair enough. Good photo-ops, though.

Agreed on the other two, but Hess has a GIANT FREAKIN' ROBOT!

That's what I'm talking about! Bring the FREEM!, baby!

"Mommy, why do I have to touch the policeman on his pants?" "Just do it, we don't want any trouble. You'll understand when you're older."

The only reason modern games are trivially easy to port to consoles is that modern design and build tools (Unreal, Unity, &tc.) are set up to do that. And it still takes extra work. A game built without the benefits of those tools will be very difficult to port. On the other hand, it runs well on Linux, so should work fine on a Steam Deck. Captain Fabulous even helped me get it running on my phone.

I guess you weren't here for the "take your kid to work day" April Fool's debacle of 2020?

I hope so! But I want stuff like FREEM! and fewer piles of dead babies.

The contagious entry thing used to have a bigger range.. On live I could jump across the narrow alley between warehouses, enter the door on the next-door warehouse, and be in the mission. Few teammates noticed, but if they did, I'd say "Shhh. VIP entrance." Anybody else remember Doctor Door? For a long while the Devs couldn't find an elusive bug that would cause a small random amount of damage to characters going through doors. It was enough to kill you if you were down to your last few HP. So, they added a healing effect to the doors, enough to compensate, plus a little extra. The net result: you could heal up by bouncing in and out of the mission door a few times. Several issues later, they found the bug, and eliminated the heal. Made me sad.

Spirit Tree could really use the Lifegiving Spores treatment. Spores give a bit of +Regen, but my teammates tend to love it for the +END.

It's one million, offered to one new player, and it's a mere 1% of the generosity shown to me by other players. I'm offering to help them get their feet wet, not bankrolling their build. But you are right; I owe a profuse thanks to all the players who have been kind enough to help out an old ex-sorceror in-game!

I don't like Mid's personally, though it is really useful, it feels too much like work to me. You should certainly try it, though. I also suggest: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/49175-city-mod-installer-released/ And the first things to install should be the Vidiotmaps mod, and the double-loud glowie mod. Vidiotmaps not only shows you where the zone badges are (collect 'em all for 5 merits per zone) but, importantly, tells you where various enemies like to hang out. Essential for the "Hunt N of X enemies in zone Y" missions some contacts are fond of. And, if no one has said it before, Welcome Home!

You know how your freebie buff pet from the P2W vendor can be useful, both for the minor buff, and for taking a shot meant for you? Well, these guys cost 100K each, but they're not gonna be 100K times as useful. They will take several shots for you, can be buffed and healed, and sometimes attack who you want them to. That said, they are by far the cheapest mercs to hire, and have been known to keep baddies busy while you run away. And also seen to stand there like renta-cops and watch as you get chewed to pieces. I treat them like Phantom Army (Illusions powerset, a must try on an alt!): by far the best way to get them to reliably attack your selected victim is to teleport to the other side of said victim, and the dumb pets will charge straight after you. Message me in-game, and I'll be happy to send you a million inf to play with. (My global is easy to guess...) There are other, wealthier players who will set you up to afford everything the vendors offer, for your edification and amusement. Hero to players @Yomo is certainly worth a try, last I heard he could be quite generous for a simple "Thanks!"

Ha! Funny how the AH is too busy to process your request, but has plenty of time for redundant tells. Reminds me of certain online retailers.

Honestly, most of mine are direct imitations... of characters I used to play in TTRPGs. Ah, bright college days! How I miss 'em!* * c.f. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dl3mRjydcPw
