Some things can just be done for fun. btw, it's not just a reference from a thread, it's been a rule for decades.

as an in-game representation of the cottage rule

I can see some value in the suggestion, however I think it would have pretty niche use. I assume that most folks are building incarnates gradually so building up to a t3/4 from zero is probably not super common. This would be very handy on that troller you've had Incarnate'd forever and played the crap out of so it has lots of incarnate salvage or lots of Emps and you want to try a different Lore. Then being able to bypass the early stages of crafting would be a convenience but only a minor one.

Its tray icon would look like build up (maybe with a dark border or something to differentiate it) and when you click it a small (but very nice) cottage is built near your feet. It does not move or follow in any way but it has a very short cooldown so it can be thrown out very often!

Lol I've been playing for a very long time and every once in a great while, I'll still zone out and just follow my yellow nav marker and be surprised when I arrive at a police station 🤣. So OP I certainly agree with your proposal to prevent the inconvenience, however I think Rudra is probably correct that it can't be done in the antique code we use. (sadly thats the answer to so many of the suggestions) I'd love to be wrong though!

Ooooffa, harsh! Thanks for the info!

Yeah, despite best intentions, I think we got a little off track just trying to come up with alternate solutions. You're correct though, the crux of the issue is that Group Fly is problematic so we should just focus on finding a reasonable solution for Group Fly rather than altering the Flight pool as a whole. If any Devs are reading this, any chance you could let us know if you are even open to revisions on Group Fly? There seems to be a new Group Fly thread every couple weeks so it seems to be a bit of a hot button topic for the community but I don't recall ever seeing a Dev weigh in on the subject. I'm curious where they stand.

When you are in a mission, on a TF, doing Hami, doing a MSR or any number of other team activities you are often sort of required to be in relatively close proximity to the rest of your team if you'd like to participate. If one of those team members is running GF then waiting for them to fly away isn't an option, they're always going to be nearby if you're running as team. I don't really have a problem with anyone using GF when I'm just traveling through zones because, as you said, it's easy to move away. It's when you're forced into the proximity of a GF user in order to play the game that it becomes a problem. Technically you aren't being dragged along but functionally the result is the same.

Make fly grant flight to owned pets and leave hover as it is. No reason to change both.

Heh, I said the same thing in a recent thread! Yes, wholeheartedly agree! This has been a nuisance since live, time to turn the page!

Mine just hit 50 last week! I don't have any other Marine trollers to compare it to but it leveled up wonderfully! No trouble soloing but it really shines in a team! This is a leveling build so no purps/superiors/pluses. Controller (Plant Control - Marine) 1.1 Lily Ponds.mbd

Yeah, it's weird, I don't think of demons as religious but I guess they are. I guess my brain just turns them into "monsters".

I get what you're saying but I certainly don't want the amount required to go up. I'm fine with the 25 and I'd be even more fine with 20. Very recently a buddy and I ran up a pair of toons and at around level 22 or 23 we decided to get the 25 tips for the accolade. From that point on we did nothing but duo tips and the 2 morality missions and by the time we finished we were level 49! Admittedly we push the diff as high as we can handle efficiently but that was quite a bit of playtime devoted to getting the 25 tips. I'm sure we could have done them much faster at -1x1 but thats no fun! As a side note, this was a pretty fun way to level up as we faced a great variety of enemies and some interesting missions! So I'm on board for 20 or 25 but not for 30.

I start a new toon once the last one has hit 50 and has gotten all the passive accolaids, has a properly set out build and has opened at least the first incarnate slot, maybe more if I having a really good time. They definitely aren't "done" and I like it that way because it gives me a good reason to go back to old toons periodically and still have the ability to progress the toon..

Oh I gotcha, sorry I misunderstood, yeah that would be handy! Every time i fill up a page, it's a real pain to rearrange all my toons to keep my organization, it would so nice to just hit a button and have everything get organized by AT or something.

Spreadsheet brother! I do this too but with a little less info and I only add a toon to the list once it's hit 50.

Doesn't this already exist? At the bottom left of the selection page you can filter. Is there another option you'd like to see added to the filter? I don't use it very often but I think you can search by name, AT or powerset.

Yes please!! The letter thing would be very helpful! Maybe we could also get a filter at the top of the list to narrow it down to body types. I'm sure this is super not possible but I'd love to swap the long list for a grid with a thumbnail of the costume.

Regular fly should just extend to the owners pets and Group Fly should be eliminated in favor of anything else. MMs are the only folks who get any use out of it so lets not increase the end consumption and just give them a freebee here. Every toon in the game gets a free jet pack just for hitting level 2 so if the MM ever has a need for just themselves to fly but not their pets they can use that free jetpack. Speaking for myself, I have never and will never need, want or benefit from another player bestowing flight upon me. It's an antiquated power that doesn't fit in the modern game. Yes, yes, turn it off at Null, I know, but that doesn't help at all when you're on a TF with an old toon that didn't select that option and now you're a hover tank with no control and it's gonna be a miserable TF. It's a troll power with an awful opt out mechanic. I understand the game limitations and why it's done at Null but that sure doesn't make it convenient. The never ending stream of posts that are all variations of "how to make group fly not the most obnoxious power in the game" is proof that there is a real issue.

Any chance you have a post explaining how to do this? I just logged into a Tank I haven't played in a couple months and they're all screwed up, is so frustrating...

RG, your whimsical suggestions always make smile! You get my vote!

Okay, sounds easy enough. I'll pick up incan on one of my toons and I'll hit ya up in the near future, maybe this weekend! Thanks!

There are a couple melee weapon attacks that provide bonus lethal def but not smashing (or vice versa, I forget). So a player could have a good reason for monitoring both if one stat was 15% higher than the other. Admittedly these are fringe cases but they do exist.

Do you guys use Discord? I've never been very good at typing and doing anything else at the same time but I could give it a shot. I'm pretty consistently at the 5:30 (est) raid led by Lauci and friends and I'd be happy to fill a role there if needed and I often make your weekend Hami Raids though a bit less consistently.

No thank you, they feel fine to me especially on something squishy.
