Exploring the Depths of Villainy - Which Groups Are the Most Evil?
High_Beam replied to Andreah's topic in General Discussion
For me its simple. Column-Council They are fascists, Nazis, supremacists whose ideas and ideals have never belonged in society, ever and must be aggressively stamped out whenever possible. -

Let me ask this, how long are most players staying low level. Factoring out the farmers which seem to litter the airspace, you can get to level 12 super quick from a couple of DFB. 1 or2 Task/Strike Force and you are creeping up on 20. A Kill Most Yin and you are now mid 20 and approaching ability to slot in the 30 (bottom). So three days of solid play with very little risk getting you to slotting the higher level stuff. So why would you spend cash on things you are gonna use for a few days. You wouldn't. This puts you right back to the original issue, using procs or franken slotting. So the only solutions to drive a demand towards the product is to either make leveling harder and longer (phrasing) so that more time is spent at those low levels thus facilitating an increase in demand for lower level Set IO. But you would have to kill farms straight up and you knowhow that conversation ends. Or you make the lower level enhancements significantly more valuable by slotting them, like crazy numbers, High demand bonuses for low need (3 slot max) placing high defense or end recovery or resist as bonus in low instead of a full six (cause low level wont have much of anything sis slotted). But then that totally knocks the higher level ones out of use. So that means you have to develop a maximum level to slot and after that it becomes useless thus like 25 or 30 where the highers pick up. This forces the buy of the newer high level stuff. That mechanic could be worked but again now you ask why spend that money if I wont be able to keep these bonuses which I am gonna outlevel super quick still. So you a cap is not going to help. Perhaps the solution is to overhaul the Set IOs as a whole. First and foremost make them all 10-50. Then reduce the duplicative sets. Evaluate the focus needs. Perhaps move some into a general category, slot anywhere, or make franken slot families, common use procs all in one bag or maybe make them count across. Or make certain ones that can be slotted up to X times (LotG Global, Perf Shift End, etc) only allowed to be slotted once. But that last part would cause riots. Now an evaluation of sets, a possible modification of some, perhaps the level equalization, those could work without breaking much and thumbs up there. But I see no real gain in putting time and energy into trying to make low level set IOs more appealing or marketable.

Oddities with some power set descriptions...
High_Beam replied to biostem's topic in General Discussion
This one time at Grav camp. The great thing about Gravity Control is, any power with knockdown . . . gravity control. He didn't slip on ice patch he fell because of gravity. -
Try Super Stylist, its a paper doll game that I find calming. Available on both Apple and Android. Its one of the few tappy tap games I have that aren't essentially card games. But watch out, way too many of the "who wore it better" winners have really effed up colored hair. Free to play and a minimal cost to kill the ads.

We are talking in game here. I have a few, though some are sung. Oklahoman - He is in game and he runs efficient and yet fun runs of the iTrials. I can count on competency and control in anything he runs. When I get new 50's and start working incarnates the spreadsheet fills green when I participate in his runs. Okie is a SUNG hero but I think he doesn't get sung as much as he should. Blapperella - B runs efficient and no BS speed runs yet often takes the time to tell the other members of the team the story points they are seeing (especially the case in those Homecoming created Arcs) and that is another reason I think B is unsung. There are plenty of speed runners but B runs the OGs and runs the Homecoming arcs which you just don't se run that often. Captain Canada - I am spelling his name wrong, there's and apostrophe in there somewhere. I point him out cause he's a booster, passing out influence at random all year around, just a nice little gift, no flash no show but its a million to a newbie and its is a nice thing. He even showed me the base he inherited of a supergroup that went defunct and its kind of a sad tale really which adds to the impact of his charity, at least to me. Monty Haull and Goddess Laucianna are SUNG heroes, their contributions to the game are well known. There are others I am Sure I will think of but those ones stand out in my brain.

Crazy! I was just telling a co-worker about Peter's list like two hours ago cause he had never heard of it. Wait. Now I am getting paranoid. Or rather more paranoid. Curses. -
