Thanks for your hard work. The new stuff is great!

Agreed. I really like Axe Melee, even though it under-performed since forever. The changes brought it to average, I felt. If it was "potentially too good," I don't think it ever reached its potential in a substantive way.

I'm also a utilitarian baser, and I used to run out of storage space, because I get a great deal of dopamine from the creating a new character and just having everything on hand. I suspect I'm not unusual in that way. What forever fixed that for me are mules. I made a character (unused 50s are better than lowbies, but lowbies work fine) for each AT, and send all the ATOs to them. I made another for Winter-Os. That way I can keep the base small and functional, but also hoard the stuff I use often. Note: In exchange for PLing, a player named @potatolove (iirc) once made me the most AMAZING base, a space station. I miss it so. I don't know if they're here on HC, but if they are and they read this, I hope they know how much that base meant to me.

While I certainly agree that following the leader is generally good advice, when someone tells other people how they should be playing, it rarely goes over well.

Instanced or not, I really appreciate the folks who give up their time to host regular MSRs for people. As for which is better, for my part, I dread the green button, because on at least two occasions, I got very poorly-timed baby aggro and missed out. I don't like being that guy. If instanced had trainers, that would be awesome.

I played with Plas quite a bit on live, and even met him (and his Dad, who wore a nametag that said "Plas' Dad") at a Herocon event. He was a very kind soul.

Hi All! I usually went by Nakoa in game on Justice and Closed Beta. I have many fond memories of SSTF and Heretics, and the wider Justice crew.
