[Where do I start?]

Here's Talos Island for example, with AE location circled on the middle-right side

 

[Where do I start?]

The building was removed from Atlas Park and Mercy Island, but it can be found in most of the other zones, including Pocket D.  Look on your map for the blue and white "AE" marker, and that will be the building. 

[Do the new reactions mean anything? (Now with shark, saxophone, thumbs left and right)]

Love letters and Estonia but no Stank, Corruptamagoo or Defloobernaut.  Sniff.  

[New difficulty setting]

TF/SF settings already available allow you to Buff Enemies (I use this most of the time), or deactivate Incarnates, or Temp Powers, etc etc.  No extra dev work required!

This one is great

 

[What additions to the AE would we like to see? (Within reason!)]

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

[Replace Ms. Liberty as the Atlas Park trainer.]

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.

...i guess dominator with scrapper damage.  Scrapinator?

 

Domingator!

[Siege Perilous Server Ideas]

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.

• AE disabled except for dev choice mission

 

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?

This is an old trope that I think we're getting over. ChatGPT has surprised everybody with the quality of it's output.

 

 

I am not surprised.  It's poor quality. 

[Ur-Corruptor]

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.

The music here?  That's nothing compared to Planet Coaster, my latest alternate game choice.  They manage to work their catchy tune into multiple music types and post it everywhere.  Everywhere!  I awake with this song buzzing in my head these days.  It's worse than Mark Twain's Punch Brothers Punch railroad jingle and that was designed to torture.

Quote

Fusionette is one of the Nuclear 90; 90 children from around the world all born in one year with an unusual mutation that gives them natural magnetic nuclear fusion reactors for hearts, and the ability to channel energy from their internal reactor for a variety of super powers. Like many of the Nuclear 90, Fusionette has decided to use her powers for the betterment of mankind as a hero. She's focused on her energy blasts and has recently developed the power of flight.

 

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

[new reactions?]

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!

[Do the new reactions mean anything? (Now with shark, saxophone, thumbs left and right)]

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.

[What additions to the AE would we like to see? (Within reason!)]

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.

I'll strongly consider using converters, I find a lot of recipes while farming, and last I checked on the AH converters were selling for around 60-70k a piece. 

 

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!
