IIRC, the splitting of Issues into Pages was more a matter of keeping the content train rolling with a small team than anything else. (And what's a "true" Issue?)

This. Also don't need everything in the game set up for obsessive and obsessed.

One of my favorite things to do with my higher level jumpers while waiting on a team or a TF in the LFG channel... Leap from rooftop to rooftop in Bricks, from the train station north to the far end of the zone and back. Mistime aborting your leap and dropping onto a roof top - and well, it's a long way down. Next to speeders, jumpers get very familiar with geometry of a zone and what it allows/denies them. And oh, yeah... Dropping into the center of a group of mobs and hitting a PBAOE is kinda awesome and very superheroic. Now, if only we had a cool landing pose...

Youtube's algorithms keep thinking that I must love soap operas. So far, it's recommended me ones in Italian, Spanish, and Tagalog in hopes of providing me exactly what it thinks I'm swooning for. Why it thinks this completely baffles me. I'm also baffled by the logic process that leads to recommending Korean material instead of more of the Japanese and Japan related stuff that I actually do watch.

Can't recall if it was part of an ITF or something else, but yeah, definitely in Cimerora.

That's why I enjoyed group PvP in Puzzle Pirates - the game enforced weight classes. And while it would allow *you* to force combat with [the equivalent of] a purple, but if the purple tried to force combat on you... Hilarity did not ensue (for the purple). That meant almost all fights were at least somewhere in the vicinity of fair.

Ghost Widow popped into a mish I was on during the I12 (?) closed beta... (Which was actually kinda spooky) We'd just discovered a pool of swimmable water (you can actually submerge) and she wanted to know what we thought of it. (This was new then, and I don't think it was ever used anywhere else.)

Homecoming has 1000 slots per server... I wouldn't be in a hurry to set up a second account just for alts. You don't need a second account to get all your alts in the same SG either, just use the /altinvite command. Unless you're seriously alt-o-holic, you only a second account for multiboxing.

- Fly because it's safe and very superheroic. And because hoverblasters are epic. You can even take a break from street sweeping simply by going up a couple hundred feet. It's my most commonly taken travel power. - Jump because it's fun. It's not easy to master, and like TP it's very much not passive. But there's just something about it... - Superspeed, Teleport, tried 'em, respecced out of them. SS is too clunky outside of flat city zones, TP requires too much attention and eye/hand coordination.

I've been playing various MMO's for around twenty years, and when it comes to PvP there's one universal truth - PvP is a very small niche interest. And it almost always has a bad reputation among PvE players because it almost always attracts some... very unsavory types. (And the PvP community at large pretty much always defends their behavior, just making the perception worse.) Somehow though, PvP players steadfastly remain blithely unaware of this.

Protector bots inherited Repair - complete with it's absolutely awful recharge time. Are you sure they're not using it rather than simply waiting out it's overly long timer?

/ah opens the auction house anytime you aren't in an instance.

You really can't get away from that without putting the parts that can make people unique behind steep enough walls that few will be able to scale them. And given how they've treated capes, and wings, and Vanguard parts - I can't see the HC team putting anything desirable behind a wall ever again. Then you have to consider Sturgeon's Law... It would take an absurd amount of time to sort through the submissions, and more time to polish the not crap into something that actually plays and looks nice and works with the game's systems. And, for the moment and the foreseeable future, the HC team doesn't seem have that kind of manpower available.

Exactly! There's a ton of stuff you can't do (or really shouldn't do) operating in the shadows. I mean, just handling donations 'in the shadows' is fraught with thermonuclear legal landmines. Folks don't realize that "they've been doing fine so far" is just another way of saying "they haven't been caught yet".

Dunno if it was the more stable environment or just the (relatively speaking) enormous amount of coverage serving to remind people that Homecoming exists. Either way, it's good for the short/medium term health of the game.

There's also a Club for wiki editors under Browse > Clubs.

Will do my darndest, but that's about the time (PST) I'll be starting dinner.

I thought your post was pretty milquetoast myself... At least when compared to that that POS crapware deserves.

I'm currently planning on being home most all day tomorrow (PST). Count me in.

Yeah, I've got any number of characters "stuck" from the late teens to the mid(is) twenties because (at least for me) that's the sweet spot for soloing,

Very much an IYKYK kinda thing... But chatted with this individual on Excelsior last night... Spot on Kirito (Sword Art Online) homage/parody.

Not really. The collar has always been there, and NCSoft has always held the other end of the leash.

Does anyone other than me actually read those monthly financial statements?

So long as a note is posted here (so I can Follow the forum and get notifications when they're posted), I'm good with the new patch note system. I will note though that it isolates the patch notes from any discussions/clarifications about them. Possibly link back from the patch notes to the discussion thread?
