This one is great

Is there a reason we can't use Warshade or Peacebringers as custom enemies? Too many powers and forms to navigate?

love the sunburned dude

I feel like we're due to have some NPC heroes and villains get promotions to trainers and TF/SF contacts. As the game timeline moves forward, moving Ms. Liberty to her task force permanently and replacing her as a trainer shows some in game progress. In my opinion, Back Alley Brawler and Blue Shield (replaced with Ms. Shock as King's Row's protector and trainer) also deserves Task Forces instead of their current posts. I know we're all somewhat holding on to the past by being here in the first place, but if Incandescent can replace Castle in Peregrine, I think we can pass out some additional promotions as well.

Domingator!

The game already offers most of this now, by choice and without any additional programming time. Don't run AE missions, limited market use, cap your build at your desired defense/resist levels, disable all or all but Alpha incarnates on TFs, only do a given TF once per week. If there's interest in this, you could form a team or sg with other players to play with these constraints.

If AE is disabled, except for dev choice, then how does anyone write something for people to play so that it is chosen to be dev choice?

now that would be scary!

I am not surprised. It's poor quality.

Of the many I have, my fire/kin is my favorite to play. I have a dark/ice defender which is also one of my favorite toons to play, and I can see it being just as lovely in an ice/dark corrupter version.

I could see why some took Paragon City for snobby. It has a way about it, a walk and a talk that just wasn't normal. We strolled, like a man in a park without a care or worry in the world, like we had on an invisible coat that would shield us from this place. Yeah, I think it would be fair to say I liked Paragon City from the start.

I must have missed the patch notes. It makes me sad, I enjoyed kicking it around after battles.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh oh-oh oh-oh, ohhhhhh oh-oh oh-oh Dee-dee-dee dee deeee dee

Kurt Vonnegut wrote about exactly this in Timequake, published in 1997 (25 years ago!).

I write in google docs, and copy/paste over when I'm ready

Will we see any more of the Nuclear 90? A villain maybe?

I bet they're clues to what's coming up: Ramen - new healing purple set Bulgaria - right next to Serbia, origin of the name Petrovic, leaders of the Skulls. Expanded Skulls stuff! Domingator - new Dominator powerset proliferation (I still want corruptamoagoo, stank and defloobernaut emojis) TV - expanded Television lore Accordion - Symphony powerset customization with instruments Satellite - Moonbase!

I'm a little disappointed that we have Domingator but not Corruptamagoo, as that is my preferred playstyle. I'll also bring a Stank or a Defloobernaut if it better serves the team.

It'd be cool if we could designate AE enemies as "Hero" as well as "Arch Villain." Sometimes you're a bad guy takin' down a hero, y'know? Same stats, just a different title.

Highly recommend this method for outfitting your own characters and making money on the auction house. Craft all of your drops (that you get for free!) and use converters to make something you can use now, something you can store for another toon later on, or something valuable to sell on the market. After awhile you'll never need to buy an enhancement or recipe again, save maybe your ATOs and WTOs. Getting all of the exploration badges in a zone (vidiotmaps ftw) will grant you 5 merits per zone. Spend 'em on converters! Welcome back!

Agreed about Power Boost, it's great and an easy 1-slot power. Also agreed about Howling Twilight, I have it slotted for knockdown, stun and recharge; it makes a great opener (especially after Power Boost 😉 ). Soul Storm is fuunnnnnn I have the defender version of this dark/ice and it's one of the characters I enjoy playing the most. Debuffs, controls, damage, it does a bit of everything. Corrupters' scourage with the rain powers is awesome though, can't go wrong with that; I just have lots of other corrupters and wanted a defender.

this got Tstoopid quick

I love hard mode Aeon SFs! I like hard mode ITFs less, I feel like they're much harder than Aeons at like difficulty, and without the reward of a Dysnc at the end; plus Aeon has lots of optional content throughout (ripple AVs), while all of the added stuff in ITF is required (monstrous robots and Vandal). The hard stuff also makes me a better player. A standard TF I've done a lot doesn't teach me anything new about my AT, or powersets, or how I've gone about selecting powers and slotting enhancements. 4 stars makes me put a lot more thought into it. I hate speed runs. No time for jokes, no making new friends, no "fun." Fun for me is different than fun for others, and that's fine. I'd rather do a single 4 star Aeon with the Vanguard fight in 90 minutes, taking our time, making jokes, taking the side roads, then speed run the same ol' easy stuff and not say anything at all. It helps to have a regular group of pals to run this stuff with, so things don't get bogged down.

But...if you have a tank...what do you need a dedicated healer for?
