Recommended: How about finding people who are willing to lead more server events & supporting them? This past year has done a number of people, understandably, yet I'm sure there's some people who would still be willing to run global community events. Just a matter of being creative & then supporting those said-people. For example, Smol and his sports-like pvp events.

I share this because,
1) I interact a lot with the player-base in Everlasting community (my server home), and most feedback I see is a desire & appreciation for variety.

2) I remember the GM event back when HC first came out in 2019, with the GM who had the riddle, then had a custom-made boss fight in both blue (PI) and red (PO) in the community, which was very cool, fun, & creative. I recall tons of positive feedback from that event.

3) I believe variety of global events is a supportive catalyst that contributes to the current growth of the community.

We are looking for Community Helpers - More information is located here.

While I don't know what things look like from their side right now, it's certainly seems to my perspective that the Devs and GMs have been getting quite a workout lately on the forums.

Keep on keeping on, you [insert appropriate and acceptable euphemistic personal title noun here]!

Also; special thanks to @GM Miss. We should have thrown you a little party in honour of your past work, now that you're taking a break for a bit.

Then again; it's not too late! Is there anything you'd like from us?

No worries, I'll be bothering you all again someday soon. 🙂

🏆Here is the winner of our last GM CC: Food and Drink Theme - GM Kal! (He was a toaster!)🏆

October 21, 2020

Only one entry per person - and in the case listed above there was a single contributor that was the same person, so only one of those bases would be able to be judged. They have mentioned they would like the original entry to be judged. I will leave the Halloween themed one up so people can check it out though.

Ping me if you guys have another other questions!

*edit - We made the SG leaders submit the bases. We did this so that we know that the base had permission to even be submitted (So we know someone isn't submitting a base we have no way of knowing they even helped on). We added contributors so the person submitting to the contest can divvy the rewards how they see fit.

Parkour Suggestion by @Tahquitz

Spoiler

T1: Tumble. Toggle. When approaching an object up to 1.5x the height of your character, your character will tumble over it without losing forward momentum. If the object is too tall, the tumble will instead change your direction while running, or if dead-on, cause your character to reverse direction. This power only works alone or in combination with other running travel powers.
T2: Wall Kick. Toggle. Allows a character to kick off a wall mid jump to change trajectory. A successive kick can either increase jump height to scale a tall object, or jump length to cross a significant chasm. If combined it can do both at once with less efficacy. Can be repeated up to three times in 5 seconds before cool down as trajectory cannot be kept up indefinitely. Can be improved with Leaping enhancements.
T3: Absorb Fall. Auto: Up to three times per 5 minutes, when landing where fall damage would be present, your character instead tumbles and receives up to a 50% discount in HP loss from the fall, decreasing on repeated use before cooldown. This power is always on, only uses endurance when HP loss is present, and does not work when any other non-Parkour travel power is activated.
T4: Flawless Escape. Auto: When taking damage, if fleeing enemy aggro, you can phase through enemy mobs as if they weren't there. You are not invincible or invisible, and additional mobs can aggro and damage you, but you can still run past them by dodging them perfectly. This effect only lasts for a short time, wearing off after 15 seconds, and is cancelled if you attack any mob for at least 30 seconds. This power is always on.
T5: Unassailable. Self: When triggered, your damage resistance, end recovery and running speed are greatly enhanced. Unlike Elude, your jumping height is unchanged, the duration is 30 seconds, and a long cooldown.

Spoiler

Discipline Suggestion by @vemon

Spoiler

T1: Breath Control: Reduces the end cost of all your powers by a minor amount, and gives you a small amount of resistance against Endurance drain.

T2: Body Flow: Melee Attack. This attack causes minor smashing damage, has a mag 2 knockback, and increases all defenses for a minor amount for 10 seconds after using it.

T3: Clarity: Click. Boosts ToHit and ToHitDebuff resistance, as well as resistance to Fear and Confusion for a short time. Cooldown long.

T4: Refocus. You heal a moderate amount of damage and become resistant to disorient for 12 seconds. Cooldown: long.

T5: Superior Balance: Toggle: Decreases the inertia of jumping and flying movement powers, adds a bit of flight, running, and jump speed, and turns knockback into knockdown for all powers while this toggle is on.

Phiction Fysics Suggestion by @EmperorSteele

Spoiler

T1: Giant Mallet - You pull a large, cartoony mallet out of nowhere and WHAM it on top of a foe, dealing smashing damage and knocking him, plus any nearby foes, down. Melee ST attack with a light AoE KD component, small chance to stun.
T2: Portable Hole - You can use portable holes in a variety of ways. If no target is selected when you click this power, you get to select where the other end of the hole is. Once placed, you automatically drop another hole at your feet and jump in, appearing on the other side. These holes will remain for a few moments if an ally wishes to follow, or if you wish to go back the way you came. If you are targeting a foe when using this power, you instead throw the portable hole at their feet, and automatically drop another hole 5 feet in front of yourself, causing the foe to fall in and appear in front of you.
T3: Bag o' tricks - When you absolutely, positively have to hit someone, but they're all the way over THERE, you pull a random object out of your hammerspace bag and throw it at them. Pulls from the same objects as a low-level Propel. ST ranged damage + AoE KB.
T4: Plot Armor - This power has two components: a small, passive defense and resistance increase, and an activatable click-power. When activated, you are imbued with one of every Large Inspiration, including Awaken, allowing you to use this power as a self rez as well as a power-up. Has an unenhanceable 22 minute cooldown (so you can only use it once an episode ;-P)
T5: Turn Tables - Who just did that? Is it rabbit season, or duck season? Why I oughta... Many fictional characters have the uncanny ability to deflect their misdeeds onto others, causing their opponents to turn on one another. When activated, you emit a 12-foot PBAoE Confuse that lasts for 12 seconds.

Pants Suggestion by @Vanden

Spoiler

Summer Shorts: This light garment offers unrestricted freedom of movement, allowing you to run faster and jump higher than more constraining articles of clothing. (Run Speed, Jump Height, and Jump Speed boost)
Corduroy Slacks: The unique texture and material of these pants produces an annoying sound as you walk, causing enemies to not want to be near you. (PBAoE Fear Aura)
Denim Jeans: These pants, are tough, rugged, and a good insulator. Perfect for outdoor activities. You must be level 14 and own at least one other pair of pants to purchase these pants. (+Resistance to Smashing, Lethal, Cold, and Fire damage)
Throw Pants: Demonstrating complete mastery of the pants, you utilize the darkest pants technique known to man: you remove your pants and throw them at the enemy. With their vision blocked by your abandoned clothing, they will suffer reduced Perception and Accuracy and be Confused, attacking their allies by mistake. Meanwhile, your pantsless form will reduce your Threat Level, as enemies will not want to look at you right now. (Huge characters will have this latter effect doubled; also, there is a chance enemies will in fact like what they see and your Threat Level will increase instead.) You must be level 20 and own at least two pairs of pants to select this power.
No-Pants Nightmare: With a flourish of your hand and and dramatic announcement, you reveal to your enemy their greatest nightmare has come true: they showed up to the big fight with the superheroes with no pants on! The enemy will be unable to act in embarrassment, and your allies will gain a Regeneration and ToHit morale buff from laughing at the enemy's misfortune. (Foe Hold, Ally +Regeneration and +ToHit) You must be level 20 and own at least two pairs of pants to select this power.

Telekinesis Epic Pool Power For Scrapper/Stalkers Suggestion by @BrandX

Spoiler

Tier 1 - Lift: Same as Gravity Control) as I would with all Epic Single Target Blasts (personally) I'd have the DPA of the attack be on the better end of Tier 1 and 2 attacks, so players can add or replace these attacks into their attack strings.

Tier 2 - Telekinetic Hold: I'd make it like Soul Storm in terms of animations, possibly without the glow, but have the enemy in the air spinning or just lifted up into the air held).

Tier 3 - Shield Ally/Allies: +5% Resist/Defense - Same as Deflection Shield and powers like it. The only question is, would it target the team or not.

Tier 4 - Propel: I'd turn it into a targetted AOE attack.

Edit: Tier 5 - Telekinetic Body Armor: Toggle (.33/s) +3% Resist/Defense

Origin Pools 2 Suggestion by @Tyrannical

Generic Pools Suggestion by @Tyrannical

Here it comes, the Impromptu Teammates! [for maximum fun make each summoned model just a generic model that hit the Randomize button] Suggestion by @UpandAtom

Spoiler

1. Random Muscle: A melee pugilist joins the fray on your side! With some mild resistances and hard knuckled punches, he charges heedlessly forward into the danger!

2. Random Blaster: A ranged trigger-happy blaster joins the fray on your side! He stays in the rear, popping off shots with a firearm. That's one office worker who got tired of being taken hostage!

3. Random Defender: An enthusiastic healer joins the fray on your side! He's getting experience handling his shiny medical tricorder, providing assorted injections & serums!

4. Random Controller: A smug controller joins the fray on your side! He vaguely annoys people by holding enemies in place, irregardless of positioning considerations!

5. the ULTIMATE, the AMAZING, the TRAVEL POWER we almost forgot! You bought a van to haul your impromptu teammates around! [literally transform the player into a van and move at superspeed]

Valmorphanization Suggestion by @GM ColdSpark

Spoiler

T1: Cruel to be(ing) Kind - With the toggle active, you redirect some of your energy that would go into damaging your opponent into healing yourself. -20% Damage output but heal for 10% of total health per attack

T2: Throw the kitchen sink at them - Inverting the above approach, each attack damages you for 10% of your total HP but boosts the damage output by 20% (use with care!)

T3: With my last breath - sometimes you need more blue... a lot more blue... with each attack, you damage yourself for 10% of your total HP but the endurance cost of your powers is dropped by 50%

T4: Suppressing fire!! (anyone watched Archer?) - whilst active this toggle improves your recharge by 20% (ideally and cast time by 50% for fun too!) but you suffer a 10% to-hit penalty

T5: Giving her all she's got Captain - Clicky on a long unenhancable recharge - allows you to halve the negative impacts of any of the other toggles whilst doubling the benefits

Tools of the Trade Suggestion by @LiquidBandage

Spoiler

T1 - Marker Smoke: (Ranged Location AoE) It drops a little canister that emits a fountain/column of smoke (or a light/laser) to mark a position. If you have ever wanted to tell a team "I am going to pull to here", this is the power for you. This is truely a utility power, so the recharge should be Fast.

T2 - Put on the Bracelets: (Melee) High Magnitude Slow with -Fly, -Jump -Teleport that gets applied to both you and your target. It should also apply -DEF (Melee) to both you and your target, but can be enhanced to skew the debuff (defense debuff to negatively impact your target or defense buff to reduce the impact on yourself). The recharge should be somewhere in the Slow to Long range.

T3 - Mental Focus: Toggle - Provides a small unenhanceable +Recharge. Provide some Terrorize Protection (mag 4). Predominantly, this power needs to shut down -perception powers, so provide +75% resistance to Perception.

T4 - Identify Friend or Foe: Toggle - Provides a small unenhanceable +ACC and +ToHit. Provide Confuse Protection (mag 4) and some Confuse resistance (-30%).

T5 - Mimic: Ranged - PBAoE Placate (+300%) that lasts 60 sec at a radius of 80ft. It also changes your appearance to look like whatever enemy you had targeted when you fired the power. The recharge should be in the Long to Very Long range.
