I think of steamrolling as an overpowered group cutting swathes through enemies like butter. For the most part, I would consider it almost any team content.

Defense is a strange and surprisingly easy mechanism. You can be a controller that is soft-capped and you can be a tanker that is soft-capped, and your enemies have the exact same chance to hit you. That doesn't sit right with me. At least damage resistance has caps based on AT.

OP nailed it, and is dealing with it with both aplomb and gravitas. We should all do so well. Cheers to you Sir/Madam/Other!

To OP, I don't farm for profit, but I gave it a shot last year and found it entertaining to an extent. That said, I haven't dusted off that farmer in months. I wrote a post about it!

It was absolutely an inf sink. IIRC it was an exchange rate of 2000:1.

There's a lot to unpack here, but I'm going to take the suggestion in the title on a stand alone basis. Three suggestions that I could ultimately support: 1. Grant the option to turn off all salvage drops, not just some. You don't get a shot at orange unless you deal with white and yellow. 2. Turn off the red notification that salvage is full. I'm guessing that those aesthetics are part of the annoyance. 3. Cut the drop rates of all salvage, not just some, by some percentage. 50%? 90%? I stand by the thought that ultimately Homecoming devs get to decide what they think is important and why. At the same time, in my opinion, this is of such low importance that I'd prefer that the devs don't even waste their time reading the thread if it takes 30 seconds away from something that I personally deem important for myself or for the HC system.

What color were the mobs? Infragrey?

Alts are the lifeblood of the economy.

My concern is that demand feels soft. There are a few major markets where 300-600 supply above normal levels entered the fray, and I would expect those prices to come down a bit. But there are others where supply is, on the surface, only marginally higher and yet prices are a few mm lower. To me that signifies a lack of demand. I'm definitely not above buying a few hundred of something if I think I can net 2mm profit after taxes on it, but at this point in time I'm a better seller until I see demand come back.

Yes. I'm in exactly the same boat as you and I made an archery/pain corruptor and went Red side solo. I will not claim that it's the easiest character I ever played, but I'm in my mid-30s solo +1/x3, bosses, EBs. Totally doable! Happy hunting!

I guess that you want the best parts of elec blast and the best parts of fire blast in one power? Maybe ask for a new set rather than making old sets easier for everyone? I enjoy playing underperforming sets, personally.

They call that "fire blast", I believe.

It should come through right away. Are you sure you sent it to your global name and not to the name of the character you were on?

I saw this one over the weekend:

I think it's not important to get the exact same one, just that you were trying to guarantee that one was available at a specific price. Self-dealing is an important part of my crafting empire, but I rarely do it one item at a time.

It's like evil light.

Right. So where did you say the option was to choose to not participate in invasions was? I was in Kings Row earlier and got bombed twice trying to level to level 7 with Blue Steel. Should I have gone to Talos to level, if I could have run fast enough to avoid the bombing? Speaking of not participating, thanks for your opinion on my Suggestions topic!

I certainly can choose to not play the game, but when I cannot run to the trainer, or to a mission, or "normal game business", I don't see that as already existing. Is it in the Options menu, or did you find the solution at Null?

I really do like zone events, especially unexpected ones. I appreciate the devs occasionally adding invasions, like the recent Nemesis one and the current Rikti invasion. (I'm still waiting for Ruularu). What I do not love is the hamhanded constant on/off nature of these invasions. Nemesis invasion in every zone, all the time, when the switch is flipped on. Rikti bombs in every zone, all the time, when the switch is flipped on. Minor exaggeration, but you see my point. I get that it's only a week or two at a time, but it's tiring, and I don't think I'm the only one who thinks so. Also, I have to presume that it is a lot harder to put together a group to combat a specific invasion if it is occurring constantly. In this case, I believe that rarity would provide some added value. Is it possible to allow invasions that are not player spawned to occur randomly on a less constant basis? Like a x% chance to spawn a random invasion at the top of every hour in one specific zone. Would it be possible to add a QoL button that would allow you to opt out of invasions entirely? It's annoying that I cannot level a character because the trainer is getting strafed by Rikti bombing. I can certainly work around this, but I thought I would ask. Happy hunting.

It's great, isn't it? You might want to caveat this by saying that you had statistically a very favorable outcome in this example to get to the LotG 7.5%, which is arguably the most expensive non-special set IO. You started with an IO that was guaranteed to transform into a rare with two converters, so that was a smart start. But rolling by rare to a LotG in just a roll or two was very unlikely, and from a non-7.5% LotG, it's an average of 5 rolls at 3 converters a pop. I just don't want readers to expect this sort of result every time.

Try powerset combinations that may not be "optimal". Try mission arcs against enemy groups you normally avoid. Try out mechanics which are unfamiliar with. Go red side. Go gold side. I'm going out on a limb here, but no one needs a higher difficulty in order to run Council farms.

Great post from top to bottom, but this line is the best part. We don't need every set to have the ease of play of Willpower and the strength of Bio and the AoE of Fire. If you don't like the challenge, don't play the set. If you can't meet the challenge, don't play the set. Don't take the challenge away simply because you can't figure it out. Please stop the power creep. Maybe Dark Armor is the shortest kid in the class, but he is still tall enough to ride the ride.

The devs say it’s working as intended but I can see ways that it could be used for griefing so you were right to point it out.
