Clave Dark 5

@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!

Welcome to the city! See my sig for my advice to the game for you, have fun!

Pretty sure I took both of those on a toon once, they can't both be used though, you pick only one or the other, the one one seems to follow the same timer.

Have to admit I often don't bother wit those, or use it for a throw-away joke

Just whatever looks good. Never bothered to get a T4 with any toon, it's a lot of cost and work for a few extra percentage points, really, and because I level instead of insta-farm them, I usually bored of them by T2 or so and moving on.

I haven't finished leveling him (stalled out around 40-something), but my most recent Emp toon was actually very usual, often, to my teams, even those times I played with teams with 50s on them. Like with Rezz powers, forumites like to say it's pointless these days, but they're a small percentage of the population of actual players.
