    Anyone *can* solo. You could solo using nothing but brawl on a controller. However, ask yourself this... which other powerset reduces its user to only 3 powers when solo? I can think of one. Thermal.... and thermal at least gets an attack from it.

    Thermal? I thought this is about:

     ...part of empathy that people rarely pay attention to due to old ways of thinking: Soloing.

     

    Everyone and every play set can solo to varying degrees. Every playset is now built with the expectation that people will both solo and team and do so at their leisure.

    But not the empathy playset...

    I use the base porter (or Cosmic Portal) to head to Echo: Galaxy City, team to Ouroboros, then pick up the badge and day job before playing a character.

    This is what I do too, but after getting the o-port in Ouro, I'd go to Talos.  Then grab House Hunter in Night Ward via TUNNEL and exiting back to Atlas and park the new alt in City Hall for the day job.

     

    Prior to that, I'd jump jet/steam jump to get Top Dog and click on the 1st plaque for the Atlas Medallion.

     

    Though sometimes, when I do get around to playing said alt but not liking the powersets, they get deleted/rerolled. 😝

  3. Upon exiting the mission, If they happen to catch your 'TT announcement' - either as soon as they hit their base tp macro or saw it when they loaded in their base, they could always just use the base exit to spawn back to where they originally TP'd.  They may be a few seconds late but they could've still catch that ride.  But then again, they probably didn't know they could do that.

     

    If they knew though yet still continued to hit the zone tp even after seeing that, then that's their choice for going the ....scenic route.

  4. I have this mission saved, Defeat Nightstar and I often use this to have new alts on a different account get the badge 'early'.

     

    You're right that it's bugged that you couldn't step out of the mission but, I've always got the badge upon exiting (as already mentioned, via o-port or base port).  It doesn't show up on the system message but if you look at your most recent badge, it should be there.  I've done this quite recently on 3 alts which now have Portal Jockey.

     

    I'm not too sure about acquiring the badge via Ouroboros/flashback though.

    Purples in the AH are from drops.  I know this because I put several of them up for sale.  What do you suggest people do with purple drops they get that they cannot use?  Delete them?

     

     

    NO!  You send them to me because they're ....trash and I just like collecting them. <.<

    If they follow the precedent on Live, the Winter Event will begin in mid-December & run into the first week of January.

     

    According to the wiki, the Winter Event dates were as follows:

     

    2004  01/12/05-02/08/05

    2005  12/05/05-01/02/06

    2006  12/14/06-01/02/07 & 01/08/07-01/15/07

    2007  12/17/07-01/06/08

    2008  12/15/08-01/04/09

    2009  12/15/09-01/12/10

    2010  12/17/10-01/02/11

    2011  12/13/11-01/03/12

     

    That said, I wouldn't be surprised if the event runs for a full month this year.  There were always complaints that some people couldn't participate because of their holiday schedules, so a longer run time would allow more players to join in the fun.

    After Thanksgiving then!  The 29th 😉

     

    I agree with you and Tahliah though, to at least start early on the month of December with the longer event run.

    I think backstory should be a factor, but not the sole determining factor. Most people don't even write anything in their character bio. Think about that. Everyone has Google. You could do a quick search for Benjamin Desraeli quotes and just pick one if you didn't feel strongly enough about anything else. You can't go wrong there.

     

    But if you don't even log into your account after, I don't think you are long for keeping a name. If you lose the name, you can move to another server and take it when you return. If you didn't level up, you probably aren't even in an SG that needs your character yet.

    Everyone has their own way of being 'invested' in their characters, is what I'm getting at here.  Not everyone make bios, not everyone fully IO out their alts.  It's no different than saying, if they don't get their characters to 50, they're not invested in them.

    I think if you haven't added at least a funny quip to explain your character's backstory you aren't very invested in the name.

    So, I can create a character named Hoarder (currently available in Excelsior), write "I like to hoard" as bio and not play log/play it again makes me invested in the name? 🧐

    Null only Stops or Grant the ability Receive Mystic Fortune. Null has nothing to do with Mystic Flight.

    You must have the actual Mystic Flight power for it to show up.  By default, when using Mystic Flight, a pop up tray appears for Translocation.  Null can disable this pop up.

  11. As far as I've heard, even if a dev grants someone this badge (if they are still doing this at all), it won't show up on your character info/badge list.  'i25' may have completely gotten rid of this badge.  Of course........ it would be nice if an actual dev/administrator could confirm it.

    I would really like to see different colored balloon emotes added to the game.

     

    By following a similar bind from here:

    although, you probably won't be needing the <bordercolor> one, you can already do it in-game.

     

    ex: /bind y "e <bgcolor blue><color white>yells"

    Replace the color names with what you want or use html color codes for custom colors.

    It's more "not yet" rather than "never". It'll happen at some point, it's just not an urgent priority. The main reason we wanted to communicate it early was to ensure it wasn't a surprise.

    No, now!

    I want a ball.  I want a party.

    Pink macaroons and a million balloons and performing baboons and ...give it to me now!

  14. I was on the ITF earlier as Pilfer Girl and instead of pressing my 'targetcustomnext' keybind, I was spamming an emote bind by accident.  I'm pretty sure I got global ignored, so I just wanted to say sorry.
