I always looked at this as the CoT and Nemesis realizing they have no chance at ever winning against the heroes, so they just send in their second string players.

Not at every level of the game.

This base is awesome! Definitely worth a visit. The creativity used here is truly amazing! You will absolutely love all the surprises found here.

You could always stop joining PUGs and form your own teams. Just be sure to let others know ahead of time that no "exploits" will be used.

I have a Lantern Corps homage SG with the kids. We have all kinds of combinations of powers and ATs in there. Some of my personal favorites are Water/Rad Corruptor, Fire/Temporal Blaster, Psi Melee/Shield Tanker, Force Field/Energy Defender. Kids have red, yellow and blue lanterns. I have an idea for a Dominator that I will try as a Black Lantern. Force of Will works nice with the theme as well.

No idea to be honest. I was looking more at the synergy with regard to Dark Melee having built in -ToHit complimenting the defense from Ninjitsu. Someone smarter than me will know. Great question!

PvP was only a small part of it. This affects Master of TF runs as well. Others complain it ruins immersion for them. As it exists today, the slash command will be going away at some point, but not until a suitable replacement is put in place. From the various posts on the topic, it would appear they are maybe looking at an Oro portal type power that allows the portal to accept the various pass codes one may have for different bases. I would also add please continue to post and express your opinions. I agree with you in that it is important that opinions can be shared. Do not let others jump all over you and tell you what you think.

I like this idea!

There is no base rent anymore. All items are free of charge.

The UI for this does not play well with UHD screen resolution. The various settings are smashed together (see below). The in-game UI is super, super tiny when logging in. So small I am unable to use the mouse to select anything on it. Game is also incredibly laggy for me using the launcher. Via Tequila, it is perfectly fine.

Downloaded and installed the new launcher. When I log in, all of my characters are blacked out at the select screen (see below).

Seems to me you are cherry picking semantics to make the definition of the word something it is not.

While this may be true, the meaning of the word gamer as it exists today defines anyone who plays any kind of game as a "gamer." There is no indication or connotation as to the amount of time invested, type of game etc.

Where is the difficulty in using the various chat channels for forming groups? Soft capped defense does not mean "never get hit".

There is one inside of ICON in Atlas last I checked. It is the one to the right at the back.

Agreed. The only people making noise are those who want to force everyone to play the way they do rather than letting people have fun the way they like. I also find it funny that people will complain about a specialized 8 man team taking hours to defeat Hamidon when a full raid can effortlessly accomplish this in under 3 minutes.

Alternatively, you can find others who have a similar mindset and team up together.

Thanks. Now I have that theme song stuck in my head. ☹️

Much like @Heraclea, I very lightly RP through a series of macros for my characters. Most are just little phrases here and there, like "Congrats!" or "Ready!" and a few colorful insults here and there. As an example, I have macros set up that translated into Japanese for my Ninja SG alts. My namesake has all sorts of conversational macros, all directed toward conversing with her pet Rikti monkey who always asks silly questions during combat for some strange reason.

This might be interesting. Could give a new faction sets like Shield Defense which would make groups of them very interesting to fight.

This is extremely encouraging to hear.

It's Not Easy - Five for Fighting Not the best video quality, but a nice little video tribute to the man who will always be Superman to me.

So long as it is designed specifically as team content like iTrials or TFs, I do not necessarily mind.

Sorry, but that is simply not true. Post ED/GDN/target caps sets like Kinetics and Radiation Emission far, far outclassed and were much more desired on teams than a set like Empathy or Force Fields, much like today. Scrappers, tanks and Brutes could solo content designed for teams far, far more easily than a Defender or Corruptor or Dominator.
