Clave Dark 5

Hm, I have not, I will. Anyway, I had so much of these themes mapped out (and my notes, thank god!) that POed as I am still, I simply can't not remake them. So far, no losses.

"Look out, it's gonna blow!"

I like the small scale of SBBs - only four players, mid levels only, s'great! I've advocated for updating it by adding more:

The chance of a drop depends entirely on the critter's Rank. Higher-level enemies do not drop salvage more often. Teams also do not directly increase the chance that each enemy might drop invention salvage, although they indirectly increase the total amount of invention salvage found by causing more, and higher-ranked, enemies to spawn. However, this increase is offset by the fact that each enemy can drop only one piece of invention salvage regardless of team size, and each drop goes to a random team member. https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Invention_Salvage

[Religious Figureof Yru Choice] wept, farming has come to this now. Don't mind me, just thinking again about the quote in my sig....

Strangely, I never said they couldn't'??? I think you imagined some stuff too.

@ZamuelNow I've thought about that, but it seems odd it's never done this to me ever before until right now, you know? Wondering if maybe such a problem has recently been made worse or something. Now after I save I've leaving the game up for some minutes before turning it off. The install I'm running now was set up not too long ago when we all had to swap to the new installer, but again, weird it hasn't done to this to any other work I've done since then (which isn't insignificant), and I have already gone round checking my various saves and other locations without luck.

Nothing changed with my file structure, I even dug up the missions folder inside the game, there's just nothing. left. I have always left the auto-save on, as well and saving stuff manually when I'm done. I've been doing AE stuff since Live, never seen this happen before. I know the chance for operator error exists, and recall having cleaned up my list using the AE window not too long ago, so I'll even perhaps own up to having disappeared one of these myself. But both, so soon together? Wondering if somehow the "save" bit of info somehow when out when there was a gap in my internet flow and instead it just ate the thing? But then surely my previous version of the two would have remained on my drive right? I still have all my notes for one of them, but the other I don't think so, all I have left of that one is the NPC contact I created, everything else vanished. This system is just such trash.

Even better: now looking at a third arc I'd been working on and it's lost some of what was put into it, like it'd reverted to a previous version, or didn't save work I'd done automatically (I never turn off the auto save) and didn't save it when I clicked "save and exit."

I had two missions that I had put in a heck of a lot of time on that no longer appear in my "local stories" list. Just gone. There's no "autosaved copy" or anything on the list that might be disguising what it was once called, etc. Did I accidentally delete them somehow? Is there some know bug that might hide them or delete them when some weird glitch kicks in? If these are gone even after the "autosave on" function and everything, I am beyond crushed here, I pout in hours and hours on these.

= "some folks choose min/maxing" Tons of other people here are theme players, RPers, etc., not just the "not-many"s 😃

I was just about to say this too!

You know how you're like standing in Atlas Park and one of those low-rez citizens walks by and goes: "Wow, that Clave Dark 5 is amazing, he saved my cousin in Galaxy City!" More of those, double, triple their occurrence. If the current renaissance in AI and social media has taught us nothing else, being told you're awesome motives people.

I often don't bother unless I'm making a new Dom (which happens a lot). I often start my new builds by taking others' posted here on the forums, and then start pulling out stuff I don't want, like the usual Boxing/Tough/Weave cookie-cutter choices. The "meta" of a lot of players here (or at least those who post on the forums ha ha) are all about squeezing out a fraction of an extra percent in any area they possible can. More power to 'em, I've learned some good stuff from them; not my idea of fun though, that's like studying spreadsheets at work or doing homework. And not one you have to follow, define your own fun!

Sure, but following the pattern the police reference was probably the starting point; the secondary layer was, well, secondary. Probably. We should ask some Devs!
