I prefer to let names be unique. Allowing names to be reused by everyone opens the door for trolls and griefers to make a character with the smae name as yours and attempt to grief/harass and besmirch your name. Presuming they don't check the persons global ID. Also while examining the code in the process of setting up a Lan server for me to test alts and builds on, it would be inadviseable to try to change the naming system

Was looking at this list and had a question Please define market crash.

I agree with that. The older TFs are annoying in general but Synapse and the original Positron were the worst. The exemplering changes helped a bit but as you say the fact that Synapse was nothing but Clockwork made it horrible even after those changes. The main reason I keep an empowerment station in my base was to let me get the Endurance Drain Resistance and Increase Recovery buffs for running Synapse, it was still agrind but it helped counter all of the clockwork draining my endurance. All of the Shadow Shard Task Forces were pretty bad. It's a pity because the zones themselves were beautiful (and relatively quick to traverse if you used the geysers). Yeah geysers are fun, but now with assemble the team, team transporter, self mission teleporter, and the flight power afterburner, the shards are better to travel. But otherwise Dr Q needs a tune up after Synapse. I ran sister psyche the other day. No major gripes about it. In fact I think I like better then Yin TF. Citadel, Manticore and Numina....no major gripes though Numina having the team disperse to multiple zones.....granted they should be quick street sweeps and a base with all teleporters online makes it better, but perhaps that part of Numina TF can be streamlined

Well what I would love to do is a complete OVERHAUL of the Synapse Taskforce Majority of the missions are clear entire map of clockwork, more clockwork and even more clockwork The Babbage spawn before the last mission is fineladt mission can be ghosted with stealth teleporter. But too many of the missions are kill all clockwork After rebuiling that taskforce I'd have to look at Dr Q. One of the longest if not the longest, I think though it has three or four missions that are the same.....plus one mission where you leave the shadow shard zone then have to go back to o wrap it all up.... A little revamping would be in order.

Haven't encountered harassment yet, just a few with either offense names or trademark infringing names. Is the in game reporting system working to report harassment of other things yet? As to banning, well people can get new emails, make new account names and change or disguise ip addresses, so perhaps instead the matrix room could be turned into a penalty box. Offenders get their alts dumped in to it, all powers are shut down including pocket d and SG base teleport and ouroborus portal. They cannot join teams and thus cannot be reached by someone who has teleport. How long they stay in there depends on the infraction, how many infractions they have and either a set duration that could be increased by the admins. So the more the player gripes or begs the longer they could stay. Upon release the alt is tagged for a week by admins with an xp/inf penalty the cuts them down to say 25 percent, and that is a week of play time not log out for a week

Yeah it's something new they added and much appreciated. As to supergroup, well in the old days the sg system really was f big groups and not small or solo groups. Now it is for anyone and everyone and no prestige needed. A welcome change. Though they are still good for gathering friends and coalitions together. I just have the largest lot but only a couple of rooms at the moment for lab and teleport units. I'll build up the rest later.

They still appear to be the energy build up and teleport like they were, which means they are also interruptible. They were initially made back in the day when they didn't want us to have an escape portal to leave a mission that goes bad. Then came Ouroborus So would it be possible to upgrade the super group base teleport and pocket D teleport to open a portal like the ouroborus portal power? Perhaps make it look like the dimensional gate near the train in Atlas....

Are they going to be added to ourborus? Useful to have in case one out levels some of them.

Before we make new Mastermind pets we must first give pets the power to MERGE into a gestalt. Demons form a super demon Soldiers or thugs fo m a super warrior Undead form a super lich or something similar Robots form a super robot If two Hercules can combine into a Zeus then mm pets should be able to merge. Must have all pets deployed and fully equipped and upgraded for the option to be active 5 minute time limit before gestalt runs out of power, has all combined powers of all pets but augmented

Badge-hunter.com is long gone and city info tracker isn't coming back either. Is there a list somewhere of all the badges including the new i25/26 ones?

Oh my hopes aren't up, but I have looked at the backups in the past and do not recall anything proprietary in them. But I hear there is a restoration tool and someone I know is building their private personal server so I will let htem know of it and they can test it.

Valid point but the admins have enough to worry about from a possible Ncsoft attack with out adding DC or Marvel and their lawyers into things Granted marvel lost the lawsuit, but the game was policed to avoid further problems

First well done and again, thanks for bringing the game back. Second: the code of conduct doesn't seem to cover trademark character names. Is it safe to presume that characters that are too closely inspired by trademarked characters risk getting hit with the generic bat? I only ask as I have seen a few clones running around and since these servers are in a legal grey zone as it were, I figure that is a particular beehive that need not be poked.

Or a simple list we can download that lists all badges and their requirements that we can use to track badge progress.

I have had some pals over with their own laptops that log on to my network and join with me in the game. Ithey have their own accounts and their own PC's so I doubt that is multiboxing Running multiple accounts on one PC at the same time, well......it is not unheard of for some to have multi accounts and PL a farming toon on one to rapid level regular alts on the other. That could be a resource drain. Arena is offline so heal farms aren't happening with it. Parking in a mission to soak damage on one account only would likely be a resource drain. Basically, just err on the side of caution, if you think something you want to do is wrong or a drain on server resources, don't do it.

Will this be an option down the road? I've heard that someone made a tool for importing characters on private servers, not sure if true. But in any event will this become an option down the road? Please? :)

Well i tested it with one alt and it worked. Silly question and my apologies if this has already been asked and answered but I didn't see it so I'm asking: Will we get the ability to import characters that we backed up via Sentinel prior to shutdown? Thank you for all your hard work and diligence :)
