I've found a builder. Thank you, everyone

The less said about my own attempts at figuring out the base builder the better. The base in question would be a simple office building, though not a large one. Ground floor would be the business' office area, like a reception desk, conference room, maybe a data vault and/or file room. Second story would be a living area, like a real nice luxury apartment. Think "penthouse suite." If it's not too much work, a basement level would also be great and include a bunch of training equipment, both physical and magical. The idea is that the business is security consulting, with hopes to grow into a small, private security firm. This is a civilian-side business and cover for his vigilante activities. The office area should reflect that business. The upper level is his residence. He's well-off enough to live in a penthouse, but wants to keep a low profile, so instead lives in the upper level of his office building. He has the money to live well, though, so the living area should reflect that. The basement level, if there is one, is where the security "specialists" (and protégé vigilantes) do their training, both physical and magical. I have 300m on hand right now, but more comes fairly easily, so if you need more, let's talk about it and work out a reasonable price.

See, this is the kind of thing I'm talking about. Reasonable, fair, and sensible.

I feel like your argument is a little disingenuous here, since literally the only differences between what I'm asking and what you're talking about is that your way is a free-for-all and is in regard to entire accounts, not singular characters. Attempts can be made, emails sent out, and time allowed for the account holder to respond. It's literally the exact same thing, except instead of a massive sweep of ALL accounts that have been inactive for X number of days, it's specific characters. Don't go throwing shade at me like I'm some evil jackass looking to screw other people over when all I'm asking about is IF such requests can even be made.

How is that different from the name purge you were talking about before? Is that not what you were referring to?

Not change their account, I'm not talking about their Global Handle, just a character name. I remember back on Live, certain characters would suddenly get Generic'd if they broke some copyright rule, so I know the powers exist. I just wonder at this particular usage.

Been trying to reach out via global to a name holder, but it's been a long, long time with no response. In the event that the player is no longer active, and hasn't been for a long time, do you think it's possible the GMs might be able to help? Like, check the idle threshold and if it's been long enough, GenericHero the character in question to free up the name?

So, here's what I've been able to come up with for StJ/Elec. I know it's overcapped for Energy Resist, but I'm not sure how to improve upon it and cut down on waste.

I don't want to be hidden all the time, heh. Part of why I've never gone for Stone or Ice armor is because they obscure my character. That's also part of my issue with Rad Armor. It's very powerful, but visually very busy too. Rad has a lot of good utility, though, and two proc bomb powers, as well as a negligible crash on the T9, whereas Elec's T9 has a debilitating crash, so I can't see myself using it as more than a set mule. Thoughts on /Elec vs /Rad?

That only applies to the armor toggles, though. I'm pretty sure Ablative Carapace and some others still have it and you can't turn that off

I've heard that Stone Armor got an awesome rework, but it doesn't fit the theme, else I'd have considered it. Bio Armor I have a -little- experience with, I just don't like the weird, unavoidable tumor animations that play on certain powers

Wanting to recreate my old main from Live, who was a SS/Elec Brute, but also wanting to evolve him. He was a power-armored hero who started as an Arachnos operative, was betrayed, and flipped once Going Rogue came out. I know Electric Armor is still solid for Brutes, even better than it used to be, now that it has Energize, but I'm wanting to get some feedback on other Secondaries that would pair well with StJ and perform well. Invuln I know remains solid, though perhaps not quite the gold standard it once was. Radiation Armor is one I'm familiar with and also performs well, and the +Rech aura may help with cutting Heavy Blow from my attack chain (keeping it to Rib Cracker, Shin Breaker, and Crushing Uppercut for my ST). I know Shield is good, but I'm not a fan of clickable MezResist and it feels to "all natural" for a guy in power armor. Energy Armor is one I'm not familiar with but hear good things about. What say you, forum experts?

That's fair

So, here's what I've been able to come up with, given that framework.

See topic. Looking for something that scales well and is largely self-sufficient. I like to ignore my End bar and never die! 🙂
