Weak NPC Follow in Some Rescue Missions
Doc_Scorpion replied to RevDrDark's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
I find that toggling off Sprint and adopting take-a-step, wait-a-step, take-a-step movement (I.E. don't outrun the NPC in the first place) helps a great deal. That being said, yeah, it's very annoying. Increasing their speed somewhat and adding a bit of perception would definitely improve matters. -
If this limited to RP or Multipurpose bases, or are Utility centers eligible? (Using the definitions from the contest thread).

True, but we're not talking about when they were implemented, or what they were designed for. We're talking about what happens on Homecoming today. Even before leagues were implemented, you'd almost always have multiple teams assaulting the GM. We've always been capable of having sheer numbers dogpiling on a GM. (And back in the OG days, we often did.) Homecoming isn't the OG. Teams assaulting a GM on Homecoming are far more likely to have a preponderance of 50's, and fully or at least heavily IOed toons. GM's go down far, far, faster than they did in the OG.

It doesn't matter how I'm slotted when there's an entire league taking their shots - the GM goes down in less than a minute. Homecoming power creep has trivialized GM encounters.

Those days are gone, Homecoming power creep has trivialized giant monster encounters.

No and no.

Expected by who, based on what?

Sometimes a high forum rep indicates the individual knows what they're talking about. Other times, it means they say a lot of things that are popular (or amusing), or that a lot of people agree with. Having a high forum rep means they have a high forum rep. It is not reliable indicator of anything but having a high forum rep.

And there's some debate over whether it's a universal phenomenon... And whether it's neurological (inherent) or cultural.

Three episode rule post: Bofuri - feels rushed and off, lacking a lot of the charm of the first season. Still, keeping. Buddy Daddies - keeps feeling just on the edge of getting good. It'll be a miracle if it makes it past mid-season. Ippon Again! - I just keep falling in love again with each episode. Tsurune - Kyoani is back at the absolute top of it's game. And then a new episode airs and you redefine "top of game" because the previous was inadequate. Unite Up! - Is taking it's own sweet time getting underway. Holdovers from last season: My Hero Academia - keeps going from strength to strength. And it's still in the setup phase! Play it Cool, Guys - remains stupidly charming.

The direct costs per spam message are essentially zero, and once the script is tuned and running it's essentially passive income. That's why they do it. Those telephone scammers... Always be nice to those people, they're people sitting in a boiler room because they're desperate for a job, any job that keeps the wolf from the door for just one more day. (If you're ever in that position, you'll find things like self respect and moral scruples are very expensive luxuries. You don't wanna know how I know that.)

So, not really soloing then.

Map for inside of bases pretty please :)

There's a suggestions thread over in the base builder's forum, might want to post there too. -
They have melee/close quarters powers, yes. You are not however required to either take them, or use them... Hoverblasters have been a thing as far back as the OG days.

Officially Unofficial Weekly Discussion #13: Foru-mites
Doc_Scorpion replied to SeraphimKensai's topic in General Discussion
Mostly habit. I mean for as long as I've been playing MMO's (20+ years) forums have been the center of activity for interaction with other players as well as news, information, etc... about the game. (Heck, it's not really just MMO's or even just games in the 'net era.) I mostly just reply and comment and start few new threads. -
New salvage for holding large amounts of Influence/Infamy
Doc_Scorpion replied to Andreah's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
Folks put bids on the market, and (as designed) the market filled those bids. That's not a problem, it's the market working exactly as it's designed to work. That the items shouldn't have existed in the first place is a problem... But as GM Impervium makes clear, it's now a solved problem. If you choose to abuse the market for a purpose for which it wasn't designed, the consequences are on you. So. Much. This. And, from my experiences in other games, inventing a way to store up more INF only kicks the can down the road. They'll be back here in a few weeks or months once again complaining about their inability to store huge quantities of inf. Lather, rinse, repeat. -
The devs are exceedingly unlikely to implement anything even remotely resembling an "official" farm. Especially as the reward levels you propose badly break anything resembling appropriate risk v. reward ratios.

Assuming that "doings TFs" is how I want to play the game. And being on the edge of being a have not, I'll note that it's always the haves who insist the divide doesn't exist... Or that if "others" would just shut up and play in a very specific way, they wouldn't be the "others".
