GM Crumpet

I've said it before over the years, but it's worth repeating. some things that seem to be so simple are an absolute nightmare to implement. The code is twisted and complicated, and so many times a minor change will result in major problems. "I only changed the colour of those trees, why did city hall vanish?" kind of problems. There are a lot of suggestions that have been implemented, but we are a volunteer group of people doing stuff in our spare time. One dev might be passionate about costume parts, another might be brilliant at stories. Another might love redoing zones. We gain devs, we lose devs. If a particular suggestion resonates and they go "I love that idea" they will look into it and decide if it's even possible. Then how much work is needed to implement. Then that dev leaves because real life gets in the way and it's another project on the back burner. To be honest I'm always in awe when a new page comes out for the sheer amount of work a small group of people have been able to pull together. Most legacy games are frozen in amber. Maybe some bugs are fixed if you are lucky, but there are few that have the level of skill and dedication that we do. I love reading peoples suggestions, and a lot of them are interesting and clever. But we aren't a multi million dollar enterprise with unlimited resources and hundreds of staff to spend months on implementing ideas. We are a volunteer group that does what we can because of the love we have for the game and the willingness to spend a lot of our free time working on something that is really time intensive.

A pleasure. Shame it had to end that way. As I said ingame, when you finish leave a note in the box for the mission creator so they can move the glowie

Flies aren't that fast, I can usually slap one with a swatter. My dog thinks they are flying raisins and loves snapping them out of the air.

Hey, don't bring me into this. I'm a broke GM I have around 200 inf total

It's a known dual monitor thing. Just open the options in the launcher and click reset graphics on next run, and make sure it's set to the correct monitor. Happens to me all the time. Usually closing the second monitor first works, but sometimes it has it's moments and forgets which one is primary. Being a GM I'll open a second instance when someone needs help and park my player alt somewhere safe, Then even though I closed the GM screen after I'm done next time I log in it decides to be annoying.

Hami are good for filling in holes where you don't really need sets, but sets give bonuses the more of a set you have in a power. for some power sets you have to fudge and do some frankenslotting to get the bonuses you want though. Things like recharge rate can make a powerful power like Phantom Army or light form "permanent" meaning they recharge before the power runs out so you can basically keep them up all the time. If you get the set attuned you basically don't need to worry about them losing effectiveness as you level, or if you do a lower level TF or missions. They always act as your level (or the min/max level range they work at). Lots of powers benefit from set bonuses, even if it's only something like damage bonus or defence or resist. It's surprising how awesome your character can become with the right set bonuses. That's why Mids is so popular. with set IO's being so much cheaper than live you can have any build you like for a comparatively cheap price. For a given value of cheap. for a new player 20 million inf is an inconceivable amount of inf. for a player who's been playing for a while it's back of the sofa change 🙂

Well I buy them on the attuned menu. Mostly early on when they are orange, then turn them purple with a catalyst when I hit 50

I just use the attuned menu. I've bought too many recipes by accident

Well I don't have the inf or merits to buy that many boosters

I always buy set enhancements attuned as they are the same price as level based ones in the AH and it means I never have to worry about them again. Purple sets are different and benefit from boosters, but I'm not overly bothered so generally buy them attuned as well. I even get Winter sets and ATO attuned so I don't have to fret over using a catalyst to turn them into the superior version when I hit level 50.

Manga says it happens every so often and it's generally some nanny software from the ISP

I've asked Manga to look into it, but if you can play the game fine then it sounds like a loss of contact with GM Bot and nothing to worry about player side.

It's deader than @Snarky and a lot less entertaining

locking an extremely dead necro thread

All that data is lost, and even a saved copy won't transfer over I'm afraid.

I've passed this to the devs to take a look at

Check your vidiotmaps. if it's an older version it might be causing the problem. Delete all traces and see if that helps (It's usually in your data folder)

The problem with cut and paste is it often puts metadata in the box as well as whatever you copied, so you are better just typing it in manually. Even something like an unexpected space can throw it off.

He's kind of pinkish, except during the summer when he goes slightly brown.

Darn it!! You rumbled us. We'd have got away with it too if it wasn't for those darned vampires!

There are 8 ningi's to one pu. But as a ningi is a triangular coin 100 miles along each edge nobody has ever made enough to earn one pu. Nobody uses Ningi's as the banks refuse to deal in piddling small change

In the Homecoming options you can click reset graphics on next run then tweak your settings to where you want them

It was Tuesday. Were you trying to log in during server maintenance?

I suppose we could change the title to pounds, or dollars, or Triganic Pu or gold, but it seems gauche to have heroes working for cash. And villains are rolling in cash. They rob banks like the rest of us pop to Starbucks. Most level 50 villains make Scrooge McDuck look poor.
