Acquiring 10 merits to get 30 enhancement converters from the merit vendor is a jumpstart. Earning additional Black Market/Auction House transaction slots is also helpful. Level 1 = 45 slots (I think) Level 10 = 135 slots (I think) Challenge wise the jump between the following feels similar: 10 million = 100 million = 500 million = 1B Time being a major factor. Many serious crafter/marketers have amassed almost embarrassing Smuag like fortunes. A similar challenge maybe to be how fast to a lesser number, after that it may just be endurance. Kudos to Yomo for having a day off.. and for their newest Smaug.

I like what was documented and that Yomo took the time to put it together. "24 hour billion inf challenge" while not inaccurate, it is likely click bait for new or returning players. The premise sets an expectation that if someone is not a billionaire they are doing it wrong. (I see a number of unintended consequences) This then becomes similar to the plethora of 'level 50 in mere hours' brag posts which talk some out of actually playing the game. Side note: Spamming global channels to sit in a farm in order to skip to 50 and then complaining about lack of content with 100-ish badges is it's own special irony. I don't think Yomo is trying to brag. They are just looking at it as a challenge and documenting their marathon effort.

@Space Spartan Welcome. If you roll a villain I'd be happy to gift some 'startup funding'. (I typically gift 1-2M to new villains)

Favorite Powerhouse quote "That being said: remember, everything here is subject to change."

They are fun. Above is a discussion in progress that may help.

In my opinion this post should be removed. (add: or reworked)

I disagree. It's simply a rule of thumb and something to keep in mind.

Mods tend to be trial and error while hoping not to break something. I'm in support of some guidance on the topic rather than expending resources toward making this a front end capability.

That's fair. I was just sharing the concept for any unfamiliar (it was mentioned earlier in the thread). I should have provided a link. The Cottage Rule is a rule of thumb for the developers, used when talking about altering an existing power. https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Cottage_Rule

Interesting, maybe 1 Fear or Confuse 2 is creative but maybe too complicated 3 problematic

EXACTLY!!!!! note: 'Masquerade word word' is available on most servers and fits.

Or simply just adding another "word".

Note - I did not read the entire thread. Looking down on 'lesser', 'scrub', average players or those not playing multibillion incarnate builds is troubling. @aethereal please don't speak for me. I use some T9s mentioned as intended. Could some of them use a tweak, sure. @Vanden @MetaVileTerror @Haijinx and others had some interesting suggestions. In my opinion - It is great that we can build out of the need for 'god-mode' powers. Intentional or accidental, this is part of the game, learning a character and adds to replay-ability. The mentions of overhauls or replacements would seem to benefit power gaming disproportionately at the cost of others. This should be heavily taken into consideration. Cottage Rule summary for those curious: An existing power will not have its core functionality and purpose changed, though its strength may be altered and effects secondary to the power's true purpose may be added or removed.

my graphics card just pee'd on the carpet

/pain is a challenging set

Ori Sin an Ice/Pain or Psy/Pain corruptor of men's souls?

Take your protein pills and put your helmet on..

@oedipus_tex I think it's an awesome feature as well. While you may be okay with only some sets being customization, we can already see the piling on of more, MORE. Examples: Full Customization or All pets should allow customization and Powers too.

I may borrow this.

Note: Only one power in the illusion set allows the copy costume function.

*sigh forum min/maxing = making simple concepts needlessly complicated

Feeling Oprah-ish You get a pineapple pizza, and you get a pineapple pizza, and you get a pineapple pizza, and you get a pineapple pizza, everyone gets a pineapple pizza!!

Here, let me help: "If the indicator is less than red or there are less than 1500 people logged in to a shard you may play with up to three accounts at once." edited (credit @VileTerror) "If the server load indicator is less than red (or there are less than 1500 accounts logged into a shard) players may use up to three accounts at once."
