It isn't and I didn't say it was. What I corrected was the assertion that Spider-Man is at the "high-end" of the super strength scale. He isn't. He never was. I provided examples of character who are at the high-end of the strength scale for clarity.

Yup. Spider-Man isn't at the high end of the strength scale. He's never lifted skyscrapers by one corner or held entire planets together.

Good for them. If they want to disregard decades of lore that have Bruce Wayne traveling around the world learning and mastering many different martial arts, more power to them.

The official Marvel website says differently. So does my Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe from the 1980s. All of these characters are subject to the whim of the writers, some of whom way overpower certain characters, such as Wolverine. In general, Spider-Man has been at the 10 ton range for decades. He's not on the same level as Hulk or Thor.

Batman is more of a martial artist than a street justice type character.

Well no, it clearly says "Spider-Man’s strength and agility stand far above those of the average human, allowing him to lift nearly 10 tons". Note the word "nearly". Source.

A minor nitpick - no, Spider-Man is most definitely not on the "high end" of super strength levels. Marvel puts him at maxing out in the 10 ton range. That's putting him in the same strength range as Beast. That's not even anywhere remotely close to characters like the Hulk, Thor, Hyperion, Sentry or Gladiator who are at the high-end of the scale. Totally agree Spider-Man is a scrapper though.

What is or isn't "reckless" is highly subjective to the individual though. Those players are reckless according to how you see it. Others may see it entirely different. People offering a different perspective and disagreeing with your idea and pointing out issues with it isn't being "rude asf", regardless if its a serious idea or not. The suggestions forum is for discussion by everyone and not everyone has the same point of view. As @lemming pointed out above, there are already tools to address this at the global level. 1 star the person and add notes if you feel they're behaving poorly. You can even put them on global ignore.

What exactly are the "good" badges? Farming to 50 isn't an indication of anything, just as leveling the "traditional" isn't an indication of anything. There are a literal ton of players who have never set foot in AE that have hundreds of Vet levels and still don't know what they're doing. For all anyone knows, that fresh 50 right out of a PD fire farm is the 100th alt of an experience Vet who is going to kit the character out and then go back and run content.

I don't think incentivizing bad behavior for a badge is a good idea. I agree, it penalizes people if they don't want to stay on badly run teams.

100% support instanced Hamidon raids. Also fully support the offending player(s) doing this to have their accounts banned permanently. No excuse for this kind of behavior. All of these powers that are used to grief others should be addressed in my opinion. Removal from the game would be preferable, but that's just my take. I'm sure others will disagree and that's perfectly fine.

Amen.

Maybe they're just posting photos to provide inspiration and ideas? Such as the claw-like gauntlets, hair styles and body suits? One would think looking at a piece of romanesque chest armor, it would indicate the desire for chest armor pieces...

I really like these two. The first one has some very cool gauntlet ideas that would go well with Claws set. I like the idea of more traditional cultural armor designs too. The hairstyle is nice too. The second one is very cool too. I'd like to see more light armor - techno suits. You could draw a lot of ideas from these. Who'd have thought people would add photos of interesting costumes to a thread about costume requests to provide inspiration for the people creating costumes for the game? 🙄

I don't think this is what you're saying, but would you mind clarifying your position here? It sounds like you're suggesting it's only melee players who have a problem with knockback and can be interpreted that since it's only melee players, they don't matter.

Nothing. If you believe a few people in this thread, those other players playing sets without KB already have higher DPS, so the toggle would be bringing KB powers and sets up to par.

I disagree. EB works fine as a primary set. Perhaps if you are finding it to be sub-par, it may be due to build choices? I don't know your build, so I can't say. I think EB works fine with a good build just like any other set. Again, I don't know your build, but if the one and only proc you're adding is from Forced Feedback, that could be part of your performance problem. ^100% this.

I suspect you're entirely wrong there. I'd love a version of Energy Blast without the annoying knockback or a toggle to switch KB to KD and/or less KB in general in the game.

Good point, although if this works the way it looks like it does, you may be able to enter the RGB color values for consistency. If not, they're still displayed there so you could do an exact match.

I don't think I'm reading too much into what you originally posted or your subsequent responses. I don't need to gaslight anyone. Everyone can read for themselves and draw their own conclusions. Except to imply that all of the costume changes implemented on Rebirth are "janky", without acknowledging that some of what they've accomplished is amazing and well done. Can you admit that there are changes and edits made to costuming on other servers that are well done and aren't hacks? I don't disagree with you at all and I'd bet most people will agree with you on this. This isn't a reason to imply as you have in your initial post that this particular change on Rebirth is poorly implemented or a band-aid without knowing anything about it. That gives the impression everything done on other servers is hacky and poor quality, which is not always the case.

Thank you for your honesty. Allow me to be honest as well. Let's take a look at what has been said and not said. I don't see any acknowledgement here that some of the work other servers have done with regard to costumes has been very good, if not better than what HC has done. I also don't see anything in this post that says some of the costume pieces HC has added can be "janky", just like every other costume piece before it depending on use. I completely agree with you that some of the work other servers have done and how they've implemented certain things is a bit hokey. But you and I can both admit that that doesn't mean everything they've done is bad. Here in this thread, there was never any subsequent clarification provided in follow up posts to clarify they are referring to specific costume additions/pieces on other servers, and not all of the work in its entirety. Instead, follow up posts doubled down on how bad other costume work is on other servers, providing a list of all the costume work HC has implemented while further claiming nothing HC has added falls into a "janky" category, even when presented with examples to the contrary. There has never been any acknowledgement by certain people that work other servers have done is quite good. So no, I don't think I'm interpreting anything wrong here. It's perfectly fine for people to have opinions and to say that some (not all) of the work other servers have done isn't of the best quality when it comes to costumes. The same holds true here and now as it does for the original creators of the game back in the day. It's dishonest to say every piece of work other servers have done is of poor quality. Does some of it look whacky to me? Sure. Do I like all of it? No. Does all of it look whacky and janky? Absolutely not. No amount gaslighting will prove otherwise.

If you are suggesting that others pointing out that your statements are demonstrably wrong, then yes I would agree that others are not replying in good faith. You're very quick to be critical of the work other servers have done and dismissing any of the excellent features they've added. You're very quick to praise anything and everything HC has done, even when some of the items implemented here clearly fall into what you've berated other servers for as "jank". Not everything any server has done is perfect, and that includes HC. I mean seriously, you're going to argue that two pieces aren't meant to be used together? Ok, so what? Why were they allowed to be used outside of their intended manner then? Isn't that a quality issue here? Thing is, it's not even a big deal. There are tons of costume pieces that cause clipping and other issues. @Super Atom is right, you've picked a weird hill to die on. Seems to me like you're not able or just plain unwilling to admit that you're wrong. You're also not able to say that not everything other servers have done is bad either because that would mean you'd lose your spot on the cheerleader squad here or something. It's perfectly fine to say that some of the stuff other servers have done with costume pieces isn't the best. Trying to paint everything they've done as bad is disingenuous and you know it. There are a lot of great costume additions on other servers and some of the work they've done with the editor puts HC to shame. That's not to say what HC has done here is terrible. They've done a lot of things better than other servers have. Other servers have done things much better than HC. It's not wrong to admit that.

HC has made some "janky" stuff too as we can all see from just one example. But I guess it's safe to say you'll never admit to that. It's only other servers that produce "jank". 🤣

Never said you couldn't share an opinion and no, I didn't miss that you supported the idea.

There are quite a lot of costume additions and changes on other servers that aren't "jank", so attempting to paint every costume addition on other servers that way is disingenuous. Let's be honest and admit that not everything done here is perfect either.
