Not everyone in the community visits or posts to the forums though.

To be fair, that applies to you as well, just as it applies to everyone else. There is nothing wrong with opposing points of view.

Just about every single product on the market is trying to coerce people into spending money they don't need to. You can apply this to cell phones, social media apps, cracker jacks, Kinder eggs, trading cards, blind box toys and collectibles... the list goes on. It also proceeds from the very false assumption everyone opening a box is doing so solely for a top-tier item. Over in STO, opening a box is the way to get Lobi crystals (which every box drops) to spend in the Lobi store for various things. You also get other items of value you can use for crafting and such or sell on the exchange.

This would assume that the older content isn't rewarding or interesting. That's entirely subjective to the player.

Not to mention that - at least to me - if the XP on missions were boosted to the extent the OP suggests, they'd be getting to 50 much faster and then wind up being bored all over again. Not to mention you'll outlevel quite a lot of the story content, so the suggestion of adding "10 elite bosses worth of XP" isn't really solving the perceived problem.

Love this idea! I'll toss the Everlasting Community Base into the ring. Everlasting Server Passcode is EVERLASTING-8756 In game handle is @Shard Warrior

Very cool! Will check this out tonight and looking forward to visiting. 😀

I'm wondering the same thing myself.

This very same thing happens to me as well.

Have you followed any of the threads, in particular the actual CoC update thread? GMs have said they have a private database where they will be able to flag characters that are deemed "ok".

This depends on who you ask. Quite a lot of people here who believe even close approximation is a no no and will report it on sight. Just look at how quickly the Comic Con farms in AE were auto-closed due to player reports for infringements. And how exactly are "tribute", "parody" and "direct copy" defined? The costume creator doesn't have many of the unique costume pieces or logos etc. to even make a close replica for any number of copyrighted characters, so it is more than clear direct copies cannot be created of all characters. Final say on what is / is not acceptable here is with the HC folk. From their various posts in these threads, they seem more than willing to help with any questions, so best to ask them if you are not sure.

I never really got into fully pimping out all my characters with purples either. I did one or two of them, but that was about it. The game is already easy mode as it is even with basic IOs, not to mention incarnates. Purpling out just exacerbates that even more.

The event is fine as it is. Please don't change it.

TBH I personally don't keep that kind of wealth. I used to when the game was live and it was kind of a chore. Now, I just donate to random folks or hold costume contests and such.

Very nice @BlackBlade! @OgachiI like it! And yes, building vertically can be a challenge - kind of why my Mini Titans base is in limbo and needing finishing touches. I wish we had more curved shapes we could use... seeing your base I have a hankering to try and make Tony Stark's Malibu cliffside mansion.

This is under the Current Room tab. It can be tedious if you are using the largest single room though as it becomes a real pain to scroll through the list.

I'm sure the PvP community - regardless of size - would not agree with you. It's an exploit being used to make the game less fun for them and it should be changed. I've said it before in the other threads on this topic, I don't PvP and I don't much care for PvP at all, but I most certainly won't say we should sacrifice what is fun for the PvP community to keep the command. GMs have said this is really a GM only command, so it isn't meant for us players to have. HC folk have said they will keep it around until they are able to build an acceptable solution. Personally, I think that is fair.

This makes me think of the scene in the church from here 🤣

I've had that happen before and I agree it is super annoying. More often than not, the worst part about base building is the editor itself.

If you read the complete reply instead of cherry picking one sentence, you would see this isn't necessarily true.

Very nice @Dacy! I am making a very similar entrance room with those same Oroborous pieces in my latest base project. Beautiful work @Flashtoo!

CoT are nasty with the -ToHit at lower levels too. We were teamed up.

Yes. It's being used to escape deaths in PvP and Master of TF runs. Many discussions about this on the forums.

Probably more a question for the GMs, but in the case of the Freedom Phalanx characters, couldn't you gender swap the NPCs? Like having a woman dressed up as Statesman and a guy as Penelope Yin. Would that be sufficient to allow for it via the CoC? Just a thought.
