Yep. Between Ouroboros letting me go back to arcs and the level matching systems in general I've stopped caring for traditional leveling unless I'm in a particular mood for it. Especially as someone who had already sunk so many thousands of hours into live server back then. I've mostly settled into a dynamic where I spend a lot of time on beta test experimenting with character concepts to figure out what I find fun and interesting, then build it up on the regular server. Even way back before AE, people just run radios on repeat or farm specific PI missions that have all behemoths or something. When people want to powergame that badly there's not much you can do about it. Trying to force them to stop just makes them give up and quit a lot of the time. It is a shame the AE database is 90% the same farms on repeat though, it's really a waste of space to have that much. I forget if there's a Farm tag officially in AE but there should be just to filter them out

This is sort of last second, but can I wedge into the 12:30 slot today? If that's too close to the wire I'll do the 5pm slot on nov 1st Edit: I should have checked my clock properly lmao tomorrow it is...

@LtZerge here I'd like to use this slot if possible

Ok this is a months-late reply to this thread, but have you tried running the 32bit client? I find it's only the 64bit beta that runs like garbage 32 is usually fine

Better throw the hat in the ring for our base. Character name: Me'er Global Handle: @ltzerge SG Name: The Alpha Division Shard: Everlasting Passcode: alphad-1335 Contributors: None directly (but everyone here if its in regards to inspiration lol) The base has a ton of other areas to access and explore, accessed via portal linked doors. Nervous an unguided judge will simply miss a lot of things 😮

So after a week or so of toiling away in the base this new area is basically done. You go through a portal entering a cave, that then leads above ground to a red river. At either end of the river are buildings, the north one being a small lodge and the south one being a larger home with a workshop. Overseers scattered through out monitor the player, and the larger home is guard by a golem. https://imgur.com/a/7SLzrGH

Guess I'll pitch in, maybe the deadline will get my butt in gear to finish detailing more aspects of the base. Problem is it runs at -1 fps when editing, so it has been very painful! using over 12,000 objects will do that I guess. SG: The Alpha Division Passcode: alphad-1335 Global: @LtZerge Even if I don't get anywhere I'm just happy to have people experience the base. There are door portals all over to different areas that will be vital to seeing it all.

The worst I had was a hardcore near sleepless binge over several days many many years ago. I was leveling a fire/storm corrupter the normal way. I couldn't go anywhere with groups of people without my mind thinking 'where is the best place to put rain of fire?' or 'what angle should I use my cones from?' and visualizes it in my head almost instinctively.

Bot/FF/Mace I will second as being pretty lazy, almost yawn inducing it's so indestructible. Power boosted bubbles on their own get your whole team and all your bots up into the soft-caps, your henchmen do all the real heavy lifting, and you don't have to do much for minutes at a time.

Stop polluting the water!

Same, and they do a good size debuff to enemy offense after they blow, so they're perfect for the role really. I usually just slot mine for x4 cloud senses to get the bonuses and be done with it

It also depends a lot on your timezone. Our group, Alpha Division, is very busy, but mostly around the 3-10pm PST time span, it's slower outside of that. I think most groups suffer from this, you simply can't reasonably have enough people in the group to fill out every time slot, so at least in our case we focused on one more common window of activity to make sure there was a sense of community there

Getting back to playing a mastermind recently I realized how much of a pain they can be to babysit, but I'm thinking of some QoL changes that might make the experience better. One of the biggest ones is adding some different effects to the mastermind pet stances so that they better reflect what your pets are supposed to do. Follow: works as is Stay: unresistible mag immobilize on all pets, actually forced to stay put Goto: works as is Attack target: works as is Defensive: minor increase in def/res Aggressive: minor increase in damage/tohit passive: same as defensive Bodyguard mode still a thing for defense+follow I just want some tweaks to add more flavour to the stance mechanic, and make it so stay actually does what is supposed to do. Tired of my ranged minions decided to go run 50ft away to smack a guy when I explicitly told them not to

I'd love to, but I don't have any LGBTQ characters, yet! I guess my characters would asexual? Yeah, it's extremely all encompassing, as long as you aren't a typically straight/cis person you have a slot. Asexual counts
