I mean, Paragon Dance Party was never "removed" from the game anyway. It just had its doors untethered for a time. I had a character parked there back on Legacy who I would periodically log in to and check to see. I also have this vague recollection that it was eventually re-opened on Legacy . . . but that might just be me conflating my memories of trying Icon when it first got released, and finding access there.

Which Shard were you planning to run this on, or is a simultaneous across all Shards?

Yes indeedly so. However, I think the Primal Earth PPD are all hard-baked costumes, rather than individual pieces.

What -I'm- trying to say is: Vile approves of Corrosive Vial.

Or at least sadism and discipline.

Last time I used it; yes, they will flee the patch.

Yeah. I'd say there's far more aggression in the "/jrangers" and "no votes" posts that happen, than in the Reputation reactions.

After what happened to the Martial Arts Melee Set, yeah. If I can't have my guaranteed Stuns back, I'd gladly have a Martial Control Set instead.

Thanks to @Jimmy and @GM Tempest for attending Pride on Everlasting! And any other GMs or CRs who may have been present, but who I missed in the chaos.

I hope everyone who has Screenshots from the event can post them here! Please, do! When the art for the contest winners get finished, we'll see if the artists and the winners are also comfortable with sharing the art in this thread.

This was wonderful! Thanks to everyone who turned up. Thanks to the GMs for their support. Thanks to all those who gave the donations. Thanks to all the volunteers. And thanks to Blu for setting all of this in motion! I'm so glad that so many people had such an amazing time! But please, if you have feedback or criticisms, don't be shy. I welcome anyone to contact me in private if you would like to share your feelings on how things went. We want to make sure that next year is even better!

I'm unsure on that, sorry. We'll need someone with better code-diving skill than me to answer that one. @Cipher? @Captain Powerhouse?

I still contend that the bagpipe beats them all. Evidence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-Op1Mng4oY

No joke! Bagpipes too! I mean, can you name a better musical instrument to weaponize?

I like that idea. But in the meantime, something which you might consider doing is writing an auto-cycling bind which flips through your desired Badge Titles every time you click the button. Not a perfect solution, especially for someone who has a lot of Alts (like me), but at the very least it will allow you the chance to show off without having to open the Badge window and scrolling and scrolling and scrolling and scrolling and scrolling and scrolling and . . . yeah, you get it.

That's silly! Wearing skin? Pfffh! HA! What? Do -you- wear crayons? No? Then why would I wear skin? Come now, really.

As long as it goes something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOFq4AlP0kM&t=2m44s Start with a Fly Speed of 1, with increases by 1 every tick, until it's at just below normal Fly Speed. That would be fun AND memorable!

It's my understanding that technically you don't even "miss" them. They still get assigned from the reward table, but the game deletes them before they hit your tray. That's how it counts the progress toward the Picky Eater Badge series. If your Inspiration Tray is full, progress to those Badges can't be collected.

I'm not sure it's inherently passively -aggressive.- Much like the existing Reaction tools, it can be used in a merely passive capacity. That is generally the largest benefit of these forms of communication; provide condensed social feedback on material expressed, with minimal impact to the one providing the feedback. Sometimes giving a "Confused" is so much less emotionally draining than dragging oneself in to a conversation with someone who has demonstrated potential for hostility to criticism. It's not a perfect system, of course, but it does have value. Granted, Facepalm in particular does carry with it a certain stigma which is certainly more conceivably negative than either the Confused or Sad expressions. But in the absence of a Facepalm, those other Reactions are sometimes used in lieu of, and that muddies their own definitions.

And I mean, plenty of people -have- complained about Fire. Or, more to the point, that other Blast Sets don't quite feel useful in the current "endgame meta" where just pure, unrelenting damage is more helpful due to IO bonuses, et cetera. But then we're dealing with quite a few strata of balance issues introduced years ago and compounded by later development. There's no easy solution, either, since the players here are quite divided on what would be "good" and "healthy" for the game, so ultimately the only solutions remaining tend to be additions of more layers to the bedrock of code and content. And honestly? I'm pretty much okay with that. I don't think we're really quite close enough to critical mass just yet. Not that better future-proofing shouldn't be a part of all upcoming development, but as long as I see this game providing people with deep and enriching roleplay options, balance issues would need to be COMPLETELY off kilter to really make a permanent dent.

Probably because Fire doesn't do Knockdown, boost Defense, or have any other utility other than an 80% chance to interrupt enemy interruptible Powers. Meanwhile, Titan has quite a mix of utility baked right in to its Proc-friendly AoE-heavy "roflstomping."

The first search result for your first link gave me: . . . what? But, yeah. More costume pieces appropriate for Natural-origin characters is always a good thing, in my books!

Oh, I happen to have a merc group Redside. It's the group of my main villain, Commandant Nongratis, in fact. Been around since the last few days of CoV Beta, actually, although I wasn't on SCoRE so there was obvious a lull in its storied history there, heh. However . . . it's a bit of a specialized group as well. See, she's quite the megalomaniac. It's called "The Army of Commandant Nongratis." She treats it more as her personal playground for her military obsession rather than a valid PMC. Additionally, the base is . . . lacklustre. I contracted the construction a few times after I realized how much I suck at base building, but that's just resulted in a kind of hodge-podge minimalist mess. However! I would be willing to put this Army up on offer for your proposed idea here. I could certainly have a division of the Commandant's Army which are insulated from her sociopathic self and able to operate in a more conventional mercenary modus operandi.

If that's the case, then the Homecoming Team might actually just be stuck doing this: We may need to send help . . .

One of these is serious. One of these is a joke.
