Thank you very much for clarification. you're the best!

Nevermind. Not worth it.

I guess civility only goes in one direction. since my post was deleted, can a forum mod please close the topic? Thanks.

where did I dismiss anyone? I just said I don't know what to tell them. it's not my area of expertise. but hey, if you want to talk about mental health, I'm happy to tell you all about serving in Afghanistan and the mental, physical and emotional effects of IEDs and PTSD. but hey, you go right on making assumptions about people. Anyway, can a mod please close this thread? Thanks.

Of course they can man. No one is saying they can't. I'm just making a suggestion in the suggestion forum. last I checked that's still kosher to do. but hey, if you're suffering real life depression because of a make believe world in a video game being night time, I hope it makes you feel better that you can see the fake sun again.

no dude, the people complaining about fictional night in a made up world inside a video game can follow the (just as good) suggestion of doing stuff on indoor maps, many of which are exteriors that are outside the perma night thing cycle, for a couple of weeks while the event is on.

doing stuff indoors is a suggestion too.

ok if you're getting depressed because it's nighttime in a video game, I don't know what I can tell you there. So run indoor missions that have the sun out for a couple weeks while the event is on. that dumb excuse works too. naïve and foolish is a good way to describe it. I guess if this event must be changed to appease a handful of people who for whatever reason get real life depressed about fictional nighttime in a make believe world, next year make it run for a weekend and be done with it just like in real life.

sorry wasn't trying to be mean, just asking is all. I thought this was just for builders. I don't have any skin in this game but the GM did say one entry only and it seems unfair at least to me to let people get more than one entry base since there's so many creative builders out there with only the one base. yeah you can only win once, but it's still stacking the deck because you're giving more than one shot to some and that isn't fair to others who entered. probably an unpopular opinion but I don't think who the SG owner is should matter either, especially if they didn't do any of the work building. personally I would rather see game titles and merits go to the people who put the effort and hard work into the base creations, not just forked over inf to somebody else to build it for them. If this is a base building contest, make it for the builders. Maybe the GMs can clear it up.

this kind of stuff is a lot of work in all kinds of MMOs, especially those with raid tiers and gear requirements.

yeah I get that a couple of people complained about perma night. there's plenty of light indoors and in AE arcs and TFs and such for a couple weeks out of the year so the rest of us can enjoy a limited time event. honestly, the daytime just ruined this event. Hope there's no tinkering to the winter event to "make it better"....

totally agreed. forget about low level story arcs. start making new content for 50+ that's the part of the game that desperately needs it

Wasn't there only supposed to be one submission per builder? looks like there are people making more than one submission.

Just saying ... no idea why the perma night for the couple of weeks had to be removed, but trick or treating, banners and zombies and stuff looks totally silly in the day time. totally ruins the immersion of a traditionally nocturnal event to be trick or treating in broad daylight. Hopefully next year this can be put back to normal.

Nothing. some people just like to listen to themselves talk and pretend to sound intelligent I guess.

Parlance doesn't matter. It's the correct definition. tons of people say "irregardless", doesn't make it correct.

Anyone playing games is a gamer. The dictionary definition says so.

People wanting to be rewarded quickly is just human nature man. There's nothing more pious or virtuous about taking longer and struggling to do something that can be done more efficiently with less effort.

It's not fatalistic man, it's reality. Despite all the tinkering done by the old Devs and the people here, some sets are still better and are going to be more desired different reasons for team play. and that's a good thing IMO. different sets for different playstyles. some people might like to duo so something like a tank and an empath will be a great combo. others like to run on high powered, high performing teams and will pick the sets like Kinetics or fire blast that offer the most damage dealing in the fastest time. trying all this balance stuff you're dreaming for is a bad idea because it's going to just lead to neutering and homogenization and make the game bland.

Actually I don't have that in there. my bad on posting that. sorry man.

There's always been ATs and powersets that were better than others since day one. everyone keeps thinking about endgame level and ignore exemping down to run lower level content. sets like empathy are going to shine at lower levels where they're needed more. all depends on how the content is designed. if they go the route of baking in a need for CC and debuff like Hami raids and stuff, then yeah it makes everything valuable. But even if they do that, there's still going to be power sets that are just better than others. the idea of making everything equal is a pipe dream.

yeah not every team has high powered DPS man. debuffs can and do make things go smoother with Reichsman.

IH being a toggle is never what overpowered regen. stacking DP was what did it.

I have a claws/nin scrapper I really like. rarely ever gets hit. this is the build I have for him at present. | Copy & Paste this data into Mids' Reborn : Hero Designer to view the build | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |MxDz;1449;663;1326;HEX;| |78DA6594D94F135114C6EFB43394520AA514D929058102B652F5DD445113B106C5E| |5B1D632E0E0A46D3A75E1D17FC1F5C9358AFAE23FE07FE0FAAE3EE1F6E492B82446| |B19ECEF759349D74F2CBFDEE77EF39E79EB94D9F9D6E7EB0E7DC76A5B5ECB4B38E9| |399CB95B2C5A25932D2D9452BA7AA8F4FDEC85F3D93366DD34C8AF98CD35D13A7CD| |0533EF98C9FD567EC92A3BA75478B650B093BB0BA59C99292C648E5AB61D84642D9| |E285BF9C5FF47018CECEAB06D57D1CA257714E69733E9AC53364BCB5D92C0A8BC96| |4FF1A918EA9157A994AE461F83634FC8A7E43370FC39688CCB32CD5DEB5511CDD53| |C21B21DD43BC0251FAD12473BA6639F2C791C9CC891F3A40936481C2FE378194767| |9C06C669601C9F780D7A0D7A1BE96DA4B789DE933E34A29A93EFA7C7D536FD22D7C| |8DF60A2422AD4DE2871FC6E4515CD3FA9B02F69CBA601CC1981DB58D77C875C015B| |EE92F7C0D07DB01C572A889C3CC1179C7B05865F827E89DDCABC5BCF438B5C00375| |C242F815D97C92B605E726BE3DAB6ABC877E335F23A79031CBD49DE627D12B71D67| |6BB41FC019F61C24E7C0BE43E46170E008BF0789DB81B8AAA307FB7945EB64AF3AB| |7E05C07AA42BFAE06BF623CF80DD4C5DB0DAFDECDBE0EB0AF83EC6B8C7D4DCD604D| |41D6F4B2D65EF637C6FEC6D8DF61F67798FD1D667F03526B3FE2A9FE1FD08AB25F9| |4FB4557A16D7E4DBE21DF81A9B7E47BD091BE0EB1FEA18788755AB4116A236BCAAD| |7B4EEC716A717E4F2BF2414C3297C9EFB81341C92F495FF20B62F825BF296A533C8| |B3EBD76BFE5278F8AEAB55B5B9999A8CD5626EA9C53754AAA4ED95AA76CAB53F6D5| |29B37AEDDF4069AEE20FA9EAC9BB997C689259D6AB2570069FD6354D8BA1DEC45E1| |1C674F5F15F7F1CFECFEB9A47E31D09F32E447817FE0030ACE16F| |-------------------------------------------------------------------|
