IIRC most of the stuff that hasn't been proliferated yet is due to balance concerns (for example, Powerhouse has said fairly recently that Tankers won't get Energy Aura in its current form because it would be too good).
As I recall, the same concern was expressed by the original devs about regen and tanks. With set bonuses, I got my invuln tank to around +340% regen and it was pretty powerful.

Every week (ish) I do the first SI Arc on alt my toons, for a quick 20 merits. Just about all of these toons have and do none of the others, apart from the 2nd, when I am around lvl 20ish.
Today was the replay day, on one scrapper, so I logged him on, did the 1st arc (in SSA1) and got my 20 merits.
Then a friend asked me to run the first arc, in SSA2 with her. SO i did.
That toon has NEVER done the ssa2, pt 1 before (99% sure, and even if I had..it was over 7 days since he was logged in).
SO we did the arc and..I get the 'you cannot do this more than once every 7 days' red text.
How does that work? Every other sig arc part, you can do once a week. I know from doing all 7 part of SSA1 on a few toons. Every part gave the full reward. And yet doing 1.1 then 2.1 somehow lock you out of a reward?
Has it always been like that and I just have not actually done it before?
Could be a bug. Or you could be mistaken about not having done that arc on that particular character.
How it is supposed to work, and how it definitely worked for me:
Each character gets a free run of every single arc that does not count against their timer. This worked correctly for me, as I ran every single part of both arcs on the same character over the course of two days and got the 20 merits every single time. Then I ran part 1.1 again and got the 20 merits. Then I ran another just to see if the one week timer actually worked and it did - telling me I could not take the 20 merits again. -

TIL that if your costume has a tail, it will be visible while wearing the Paragon Protector Costume Power
(Adorable!)
This, I knew.

Basically, grab a PSU load calculator. So long as your PSU exceeds the required draw by 15-20%, you're fine up front.
I would make one slight qualification here. Power supplies degrade over time so, under some circumstances, you want a larger PSU. I run my system 24/7, occasionally with high CPU usage (i.e. 100% utilization) going on. For that kind of situation, you want to go about 1/3 above whatever the PSU calculator tells you.
Having said that, the rest of Hyperstrike's post is gold and anyone considering building their own system should read it and read it again.
As for the recurring concern I see about how hard it is to build a system - it's not. It's really not that hard. As a newb, you'll want to stay away from things that add extra complexity, like don't use water cooling on your first build.
Also you'll want to read and watch videos about applying thermal compound to the CPU. The application method will vary based on the CPU package, the heatsink mount, etc. I would say this is the only part of the build process that requires some finesse and technique but you can't screw it up too badly. Back in the day, CPU's could literally catch fire if they weren't cooled. Not any more. They will automatically monitor their own temperature and throttle or shut down to prevent any damage. If you screw up the heatsink installation, the CPU will either not work at full speed or will shut down. That's it. No fires. No explosions.

I was just thinking, if people still have transfer tokens then teams could be started on any server
We keep getting more. I believe it's 5 transfer tokens every 3 days, but it might be 3 every 5 days. Either way, if you use up the ones you have, you'll get more in a few days.
-
On a side note, GM's are scaled to the level of the zone they spawn in, so the Kraken is a lot easier to defeat than Jurassik.
-
There are so many good defense sets, I usually put 3-4 pieces in Maneuvers (usually 3 pieces from one set or two pieces each from two sets).
In Tactics I'll usually put 1 or 2 plain acc buff, plus an end reduction.

I'm convinced that there's a "wrap-around" bug with Aim/Build-Up that causes this maddening effect. Wrap-around is when one exceeds a given range and it becomes a negative value, instead.
The original Tetris for PC had this bug: the high score was capped at 8-bit maxInt, so when you played well enough to get past that value, your score actually decremented back down to 0 as you continued playing.
A previous version of Civilization had this. Every NPC ruler had a hostility rating from 1 to 255. If your government type was democracy, they tended to be more friendly towards you and subtracted 2 from their hostility.
Gandhi started with a rating of 1. Subtract 2 and it became 255 and he became more violent than Genghis Khan. -

Edit: Pre-form your team, make sure you can go go to red/blue/gold (so sit in PD/Oros), watch the event channels and wait for a smaller zone to have it
Alternatively, form a league for Trick or Treating. We were doing that in PI when a banner event started and we just took our existing league (about 25 players) and went to town on them. Then we went back to ToT'ing.

On my main, Ironblade, he had a medieval outfit, a 'tights' outfit, street clothes, formal attire and an SG uniform.
I had one character that 'hulked out', changing from a petite librarian to a 7 foot sabertooth catgirl.
My time traveler had 10 outfits from various historical eras. Pretty sure he was my only character to use more than 5 slots.
Most of the others only had 1-3 outfits.
-
Pretty sure they don't have to be inside the circle. Just completed a banner event and we paid no attention to enemy position.
Also, that Maressa guide that's linked above - it says you have to defeat the banners simultaneously. That's wrong. Paragonwiki says if you don't have enough people, you might have to move from one banner to the next as a group. Also, we did not defeat them simultaneously (just a few minutes ago).

I haven't had a chance to check yet, is this just the extra costume slot and the temp costumes, or is there more?
There is a vanity pet, a spider, for 10 of each costume salvage.
And... um... there was something for 50 of each that I didn't care about so didn't pay much attention to it. Maybe a respec? Someone help me out.
Edit: Never mind. Yes, it's a respec for 50 of each. I was logging in anyway so I went and checked.

they start with 6 slots open.
3 slots are obtained by doing the Icon missions.
the last 10th slot is opened with Salvage.
To be clear, it's not specifically the 10th slot that opens with Halloween salvage.
Any one of slots 7 thru 10 can be unlocked with the salvage, while 3 can be unlocked with the tailor missions. These can be done in any order.

So after thoroughly reading through everything I didnt read anything about an xp nerf yet I'm noticing a huuuge decrease in xp?
I know I read something about XP rates and server population in the past couple of days.
Of course, it's entirely possible I was reading a months-old post without noticing. I just spent some time searching and couldn't finding anything recent. -

I really like this idea. I decided to go with a color changing hero. Every time I hit Aim (She's a rad/rad corruptor), I've got it macro'd that her costume and powers change to another color of the rainbow. I give you Rainbow Might:
Nice concept and a sharp costume.

The workload would be, quite simply, too much to be worth it.
Removing the War Walls would be a minor Quality Of Life improvement. Instead, we could get new powersets, new content, etc.-

I had one 'vampire' back on live. He was a dark/dark tank.
I put vampire in quotes since he didn't drink blood; he was more of a life/energy leech.I haven't remade him and probably won't, since I remade my invuln/dark tank.

Jimmy, I believe their concern is more with the wording of the original Live City of Heroes game's EULA, which stated that NCSoft would get ownership of any content we made in the game. So, if that EULA were a legally binding contract, people are afraid that they're technically using copywritten characters which they created, but signed away to NCSoft to play the game. This isn't about Signature Characters like Statesman or Peter Thermari.
That's at least my reading on their concerns.
I obviously don't have the original EULA at hand, but I'm pretty sure it granted NCSoft the right to use your characters (likeness, bio, etc) but not ownership.
This way, they could use them in ads, screenshots, videos, etc without having to get your permission (since you already gave it). You were free to continue to use the character yourself. -

i agree, calling totalitarian is a bit too far, though i do see the broader point he was trying to make, if you dont wanrt discussion then simply make the forum post unable to allow it, its not as if the GMs dont have complete control over that
True, but I haven't seen any GMs telling people to stop whining and just deal with it.
It's some of the players taking that position.

if people can't express their thoughts over changes then what's the point in making announcements with the ability to reply? so we should just accept everything and not give criticism or suggestions right? sounds like Totalitarianism.
Actually, it sounds like they set up and maintain and pay for the server, so they make the rules.
Using the word "totalitarianism" is way over the top.

I realise he predates marvel. I realise that they don't own mythology. I just don't see the HC team making an exception for Thor considering his A list marvel status.
It's not an 'exception'. It's simply acting in a manner consistent with the law.

For example I have seen invulnerable tankers taking and using acrobatics. Empathy defenders with aid self and aid other. Stalkers using invisibility instead of hide in PVE. I get there are role playing players but choices like this are a huge waste.i could see if these were io mules but they didn't have a single set bonus.
Well, I have to admit that all three of your examples sound like clueless players, though I can think of possible reasons.
The empathy defender with the aid powers might be in an RP SG and needed a power that looks like a Star Trek tricorder.
Plenty of stalkers will have Hide *AND* Invisibility. I learned this when one attacked me unseen while I was running Tactics and Focused Accuracy. I asked him or her why I hadn't seen them coming and they explained that, just as my +PER powers stacked, their -PER powers stacked.
I can't think of any reason an Invuln tank would take Acrobatics. I mean, I could see Jump Kick because some people like the animation, but I can't see any reason for Acrobatics.
Ok! . . . ok, ok, ok. I REALLY need to know.
