The Caretaker

I don't even get the honor of first post!

I was involved in some of these, and even I can't figure out what Impervium means by some of them. Someone else had to point out the hat in the pan's solution above, AND NOW I GET IT, AND I MADE THAT CHANGE MYSELF.

Play with XP on normal. Play with no travel powers. Shut off your XP every 5 levels and try to navigate the available content. Get drunk on the lore. Get angry at the lore. (I'm looking at you, Intern X who slapped the VDay arcs together with no oversight) Theorycraft on lore progression. Start a PUG group and don't turn anyone away, engaging the team in constant banter until everyone starts trying to be their character.

If it didn't make it to Paragon yet, I made that change, and they should be spawning all the way down to 27. I'll have to check with the team to see if that's a live publish yet. It might still be in testing.

We'll win you back, I promise. I got a slew of forwarded DMs from the last developer before they retired, and there's some good suggestions in there. The content update for Kallisti is massive, and requires 2 new enemy groups plus revamping a third, which you likely know about. Some new powers tech is on the horizon that's going to change everything, too. Lots of good stuff coming, that just takes longer with a team of volunteers. I only get about 6 hours a week, currently, and I'm trying to maximize them!

Anyone have good screenshots from the invasions this weekend? 😄

The Dark Ones never rest!

I'll look into it.

Adding it to the list.

That is not part of the event. Lag cannot be replicated like that casually. It's possible that enemy density or fx had an effect on your client.

Under? Some have moonlight views!

Yes, by default you may need to add the Zone Event Message channels to your chat tabs. May the Ford Centaurus absorb your wrath!

Ah yes. The Dark Ones never rest!

*eye twitch*

Wouldn't be the first Simpsons references we had! (Looking at you, "Extract Dr. Pierce" mission from Buzzsaw)

Must... remain... professional.

Pretty much any control character. Being able to lockdown, manipulate, debuff, etc... debuff is wildly fun to play. Mind/Rad Dominator was beyond my expectations when I joined up.

I think Clowns are pretty high up the list for me.

I had no idea how much this repository of literary effronteries would affect me.

Muahahaha. I see what you did there.

*peeks*

Not a Jimmy, but waving from the shadows. Pineapple pizza is the best. @Jimmy - your silence means agreement.

Now that submissions are closed, mine is an evil laugh! You'll see many of these submissions in the future... Yeeeees.... yes you will. Terribly vague, I know. Unfortunate, that I cannot tell you more yet. Hero Corps will return! And with plot stuck all over it! Hahahahaha! But for realsies though, thank you for your submissions. It was eye-opening looking at the first 60. It seems that animals and tech bolted on to a character are where the playerbase's heads are at 🙂

Greetings Paragonians and Etoilettes, (And Praetorian refugees - Sorry to hear about the end of your world) I am Caretaker, and I come bearing great news! Hero Corps has recently begun a second renaissance and has begun to reassert its presence in our fair city, our lovely Isles, and to devastated communities worldwide. Not every hero saves the cheerleader or the world, but plenty of us here on the ground do the work for the common folk so that we can all keep soldiering on. Who are we? We are Hero Corps! Who are we? >_> <_< It's your turn to tell us! We've been crawling over this code for a little over two years now and we want player-driven ideas for this project! Hero Corps will be featured in a few of the new upcoming story arcs, but we don't want to keep all the fun to ourselves. What we want are honest, hard-working heroes with a great look! If you think you have a great vision for a Hero for Hire, then you are hereby invited to develop costumes for Hero Corps NPCs! What the team wants is to give players a chance to stake some ownership in the game they love, so we're asking for your best COSTUME submissions for Hero Corps heroes! Hero Corps heroes will be featured as named bosses hired by other agencies to shore up security. There are only a few stipulations: The top and bottom costume pieces, as shown below, must be presented with these colors and patterns. (Tights are not a hard-and-fast rule, but the idea here is that they will have some semblance of a costume while retaining a sense of individuality. Not unlike a super group!) All costumes must feature the Hero Corps logo, and both top and bottom using the colors and patterns defined below, but all other details are up to you! Please note that we are not asking for names, biographies, origins, powers or archetypes - that information can help justify a costume design but will not cross over into our development process - just the costumes! We are hoping to maintain a small amount of surprise when these NPCs show up, so you'll be curious and wary of their abilities! Submission Rules [Any text you want to write] [Screenshot] [Costume file attached] This thread will unlock Feb. 1, 2022 at 1pm EST, and lock again one week later! Good luck everyone!

I already stalked your economy post and found it fascinating and insightful.
