There is a way that streamers could differentiate what server it is. And, as Glacier put up later, one of those icons could be used in a corner of the video to indicate that the server is on Homecoming.

Most of the streamers I've seen are playing single player or co-op games, not MMOs. So I've never heard of anything like that myself. The only time I've ever heard of a streamer getting in trouble with a game wasn't because of the game itself, but because they were being a complete asshat.

OMG! OMG, does that mean we could start a channel of deep dive lore into CoX the likes of FudgeMuppet with the Elder Scrolls or Epic Nate with Skyrim and Fallout?

The Infiltrators has made a massive change! Name: Infiltrators Alignment: Hero/Vigilante Roleplay Friendly: Yes Recruitment Officer: @lady skald (in game global) Recruitment Message: The Lady Luck Resort and Casino is a stylish and warm place to go for a great holiday getaway. Seven bungalows overlook the North Sea. The island is situated right in the middle of the North Sea with England and Scotland to the west, Denmark and Norway to the east and Germany to the south east. The casino itself is open to all forms of games of chance, from black jack to roulette to poker and baccarat. There's even slot machines for those one arm bandits. For a great vacation getaway, try your luck, with the Lady Luck. ((the SG is also home to a Leverage style group that plans, formulates and executes heists. The casino is a front to allow members a chance to extract information, or even talk to clients. Currently looking for masterminds, grifters, hitters, hackers and thieves. This group is lead by Ballistic Witch/Alysia McBride, herself a professional thief. Should anyone fall into one of those five categories, the Infiltrators would be very interested in you. The group's discord. https://discord.gg/jChFmEQ2 Base Passcode: LADYLUCK-13711))

Did someone say motorcycles?!?!? Using many of the same materials as many other bikes use, it's merely a design change. The first bike also uses a mech man claw arm as a kickstand.

Global: @lady skald Super Group: Canyons of Steel Base: Village of Myst Haven Basecode: MYSTHAVEN-16373 A small village with shops and places to role play and several easter eggs, hidden locations and a complete backstory.

I have the concealment pool on my main (who also is a scrapper). Combined with the stealth unique IO in superspeed and the old invisibility, she had better stealth than most stalkers. Now with the change, that's kind of gone (not complaining, I like the new infiltration power as a sort of travel power addon). But the Stealth power now has a bit more stealth to it before. Not as much as what my character had before (turn on invisibility and poof! gone!) but it's still a decent amount. So yeah, keep stealth as stealth.

@TemporalVileTerror any donations can be emailed to me ingame at @lady skald. But hang on to those for the time being, I'm not doing anything on the collections side right now. As for shenanigans, I wanna keep the event clean, free of drama, no surprises for anyone. This is an event that is a celebration for everyone to take part in. Certain... shall we say activities... might not be looked upon favourably by some attendees. So I would like to keep the affair completely festive and fun.

Yes, I'm aware it's April 8, but events take planning. I would like to plan an event for July 1 starting around 6:00 p.m. CST and go until Midnight CST. My character Dom/Canadienne will be hosting it at her base. I'm going to decorate just for the occasion. But I'll need a few things. Security. Basically people to patrol the area, make sure no shenanigans are going on. Food vendors. People to sell food and drink. Lifeguards. Might be asking "Why?" but there's a big lake in the middle of the base along with a smaller grotto for swimming. Changing areas will be put in place. A DJ. I have an idea of who to get, but just in case something comes up, will need a backup. Need to go over a complete playlist of songs (a lot of classic 80s Canadian rock will be on tap). Finally, fireworks. Need some people with explosive powers to get things going toward the end of the celebration. I'll be farming as well to get a costume contest going at some point, probably around 7:00 p.m. CST. If you can help, hit me up here, on Discord (@Flintlock) or in game (@lady skald). Here's a sample of Canadian rock that is a must to play.

Here's the thing. My main is at 50, and while doesn't have the flight pool, does have super speed. And concealment. So I'm really interested in these changes. Because my character is 50, and has almost maxed out all the Incarnate powers. And has over 1000 badges. So I'm gonna use the second and third builds as an added bonus for some of these changes. Because it's something new for my level 50 to work for. Is her current build pretty good? Yes it is, she can stand up to purple elite bosses without much problem. It's a challenge, but she can solo those dudes really well. And these changes will allow me to create the second and third builds on her character to change things up. Is it gonna take inf? Oh, damn straight it will. But I'm willing to do TFs, Mothership Raids and Hami Raids in order to get the inf so I can get the IOs in place for those builds. Because I want something to do with my level 50. I like her. Not only is she a great build, but she's fun to rp with. I enjoy playing my character, and any changes the devs make will allow me to keep seeing what she's got and enjoy everything coming up. And seriously, super speed and ninja run together will look AWESOME!

Just hit this today on my main. She was also my first 50. Took out the Seed of Hamidon in First Ward and was at 997 badges, so decided to take out some Awakened, Talons of Vengeance and Apparitions.

Speaking of rooftop areas, I found a small rooftop area in Kings Row when I was on my way to a mission. The mission point was at a door on the rooftop, so I had to take the stairs up. There's picnic tables, a few small plants and a guard rail around the whole thing. Easily accessible for anyone without flight from the rooftop access on the ground floor. It's in the southeast corner of Kings Row.

Storm Kick and Ki Push from the blaster secondary are a nice combo crunch. Crushing Uppercut from Street Justice. Same with Sweeping Cross. Executioner's Shot from dual pistols.

While there's has been a huge amount of discussion about blasters, I think I'm gonna go back to the topic at large. Kin Melee and Energy Aura - Who does it better? I started a kin melee and energy aura scrapper and was absolutely frustrated by the number of times I would get caught and faceplant. I've since rebuilt my scrapper as a stalker, and boy! What a difference. Both are melee builds, but there's a bit more freedom with the stalker version than the scrapper version. Even for, what could be called, tankiness. The stalker, shock and amazement, fairs far better than the scrapper. My stalker, who is level 47, can go toe to toe with a Fake Nemesis, War Hulk, Nemesis Lieutenant and two jaegars. My scrapper, albeit I changed her over at level 20, could barely stand up to Circle of Thorns guides. And the stalker, is facing those at +2, while the scrapper was facing them at even con. That's an experience with kin/energy. I still have a scrapper (who is awesome) with Street Justice/Will Power, the concealment power pool and super speed. She can easily sneak up on mobs then clean the floor with them due to how tanky she is. She's level 50, and I often solo content at +2. I even have a Brute with MA/WP who's very fun to play that way as well. Now, back to blasters (blappers) for a minute. I have many blasters (blappers) that I play. The first toon I made on HC was a DP/NRG blaster. She's awesome! I use a very strategic and tactical plan when playing her. She's definitely one that can hold her own but is not going to rush into something like my SJ/WP scrapper will. I also have a DP/NIN blaster (okay, I don't just have a lot of blasters, I specifically have a lot of dual pistols blasters). She is far more stealth, strategic and tactical than my DP/NRG blaster. She's not as tanky (if I can use that term). And finally, I have my DP/MC blaster. She is very much a blapper. Far more tanky that either of the other two blasters, but still uses caution in a fight. When I got Reaction Time with her, the game seemed to change, far more in her favour. End and Health were no longer as much of an issue as before. Having five distinct ranged attacks with five distinct melee attacks was a huge help, only beefed up with boxing, tough and weave from the fighting power pool. This blaster, totally could go +2 solo, whereas my DP/NRG might do +1 and my DP/NIN would have to be even con or even -1 to survive.

I do like the combo of Storm Kick and Ki Push.

Blappers have been around since live, since before the MA. Two of the big time blapper combos was /NRG and /ELEC. For a time, the majority of blappers were some combo of Energy Blast/NRG, AR/NRG, Fire Blast/NRG, or any of those combos with /ELEC. Back on live, I had a Sonic/NRG and an AR/NRG blaster, and they could survive really well. Now, with /MA and /NIN, you've suddenly got two more blapper types. And of course, that doesn't even talk about the fact that, yes, you can be a FIRE/FIRE blapper. I admit that with my DP/MA blaster I blap way more than I do with my DP/NRG blapper. To be fair, my DP/NRG blaster is built to be ranged, whereas my DP/MA blaster has the fighting power pool worked into the build for some defence and resistance.

A series of items in picture form!

Myst Haven is done! ... barring any wild underground massive crypt complex idea that I may have come up with that I may have mapped out at some point and might have started building ... >.> <.< Anyway! The base is on Everlasting and is open to rp for anyone and everyone. There's things to see and do with lots of little spots to sit for a coffee, burger, pizza or donut. There's hotel rooms, a travel agency, law and real estate offices, an autobody shop, ICE CREAM SHOP!, a lake, dock area, post office, underground city, hidden illegal moonshine operation, a crypt as well as 8 badges named for Steve Earle songs, and 15 villain styled easter eggs. And no, the quarter op horse in front of the grocery store is NOT an easter egg. ... there's also 5 doggos, so bring treats. The base is on Everlasting, base code is MYSTHAVEN-16373.

Of course, I put in my small list, go into game and base edit and get a bunch more ideas. I have to say, I agree with a lot of people regarding the text. Different fonts would be great, but it's understandable that things can get pretty massive after a while (try opening Illustrator with over 300 fonts and watch it cry... and then crash your computer because Illustrator is a resource hog). Grouping, saving bases, copying and pasting items (wasn't that a thing on live?) would also be great to have. Aside from that, some other options; More windows! Barbed wire you find on a lot of fences throughout Paragon and the Isles. The store fronts for faux buildings. Neon signs History plaques or items like that which you can click on to get some information. A popup upon entering the base which could give some vital information (setting vis_scale, what the rules of the base are, if there's an event going on, or anything else like that) Scalable items (this might also help with the font issue, if you have an item like letters that you can scale, at least them you can make different sized signs)

Press the F5 and you can cycle through the different surfaces you can attach those items to. Wall, surface, floor or ceiling. Surface will attach an item to any surface, so you can attach a roll of toilet paper to the side of a sink or to a bathroom wall.

Things I'd like: The signs you find around Paragon. Street signs, the highway/road signs, and business signs. Even the placards out in front of the movie theatres. More roof options. Such as the type you find on flat roofs or even the peaked roofs. Houses! Like the ready made houses from the Roman set, is there a chance that there are ready made houses you find in the rural areas of Croatoa? Item grouping! Road ways. Street roads or cobble stones roads. Longbow stuff akin to the Arachnos stuff in the editor. The cargo containers found on ships. Stuff that would be great: More vehicles! Different cars and trucks. Especially trucks! The ability to customize NPCs. NPCs that are more than just generic civilians. Love to see NPCs that are from different factions. Stuff that I'd love to see, but probably wouldn't any time soon. Livestock! Horses, cows, goats! Carriages! Motorcycles. Farming equipment (yeah, I know, most of these are because I created a base in a rural setting, but still!)

Made some changes and additions to Myst Haven on Everlasting. I also changed up the hidden still for the illegal moonshine setup. Did not take screenshots of that, though. And there are eight badges throughout the base, as well as 15 villain related easter eggs. Can you find them all? I'm also working on an underground which is not open at present. It'll be the home of those who came to Myst Haven to escape the Freakshow, Vhazliok and those who suffered as test subjects under Arachnos. MYSTHAVEN-16373

It would appear this is my Taxi-Bot's time to shine!

That sucks, but I guess expected. Mac's Catalina dropped all 32-bit support which screwed me over when I updated from High Sierra to Catalina. It tried updating to Big Sur, but I've had my doubts about that system. Presently waiting for Wine to release something for Catalina that actually works outside of Homebrew and cask.
