I've hit this bump before. I don't like to lead. It's a me thing, for sure. So if I happen upon a GM in the wild on a character that could solo it, am I obligated to broadcast it even with the intention that I'm not going to do any recruiting or should I just wade in and if anyone else happens by, hooray for them? The etiquette for this can be all over the place, depending on who you ask.

I do see people saying "Ada in x minutes, not inviting" or some such from time to time as well as for other GMs/events. So, I guess that may be the closest to a "precedent" for things like that. That being said, the other person was a massive douche.

Warshade for me as I don't have any in my current roster on Excelsior. My spread on Excelsior is: Defender 3 Blaster 4 Scrapper 4 Tanker 10 Controller 3 Peacebringer 2 Warshade 0 Sentinel 7 Brute 10 Corrupter 2 Stalker 1 Domintator 1 Mastermind 1 Soldier 3 Widow 1

Yeah red side's a little trickier, but you do have a Pocket D entrance in Mercy so there's 3 exploration badges right there and combine them with the ones in Mercy you at least get the zone teleport power.

It's part of the routine for any new alt of mine. I run around, get all the exploration badges in Atlas except in the Vanguard depot, get the Oro portal, go to Oro, get the badge there, exit to Talos, get the badge on the hill, tram back to Atlas, go to the Vanguard depot, get that badge, go to RWZ and get the badge in the base. Now I've got the Oro portal, the zone port power, 3 zones tagged already and then I just go to the Icon person there and do up all my other costumes for free.

Also bears pointing out that the PvP zone in question is Recluses Victory which can be accessed inside City Hall in Atlas. Go in, hang a right, go down the stairs, go in the second door on the right into the Tech room, go down the elevator in the back (where an exploration badge also is) and when get off the elevator you'll be looking at the portal to RV. Go down, click on it and you'll hit the zone and get the Oro portal.

Tub Ci: <pats Ink Man on shoulder> From this day forth, you shall be known as Brown Ink Man. Brown Ink Man: Uh...brown, sir? Why? Tub Ci: Because you use Kinetic Melee and Kinetic Melee is 💩. Brown Ink Man: <slumps shoulders> Awwwwwww.....

So, yes, yes people do. Mine's part of the rotation of characters I play. Play. Not farm. Play.

🤷‍♂️

I have a Fire/Fire Brute that's for PvE and not fire farming. He was made because I thought a robot in a white disco suit called The Disk-0 Infern0 was funny, not because I wanted to farm (or do any of the insidious things you've associated farming with). Put together a damn good PvE build for him that protects from everything, not just fire. So, now you know of someone using Fiery Aura for something besides fire farming.

I thought he sucked? 🤷‍♂️

According to the wiki https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Supergroup the max is 300.

Pssshhhht... I got sooooo many TFs done on different characters during October because after the first week, you'll find all the people who got the badges and are back to doing normal stuff. Maaaaaaybe cut it down to 2 or 3 weeks, but as for it killing the game? It'll have to get in line with the other thousands of things that have "killed the game".

These look amazing! Congrats on the baby and good luck on the sleepless nights!

Hello, Sky-Hawke, I have a request for you. Would you take out 40 Malta in Peregrine Island? "Sure!" <accepts then abandons mission> Hello, Sky-Hawke, some Crey have hit a lab in Brickstown. Will you sort it out? "Sure!" <accepts then abandons mission> Hello, Sky-Hawke, Anti Matter is up to something. Will you investigate? "Fiiiiinally. Yes!"

Although...

Happy Halloween! We never see trick or treaters, sadly. Curse you, Trunk or Treat!

Remember to send all detritus to @Snarky 😅

I remember during the COV beta that I exited a mission in Mercy and popped out in Atlas Park. The drones would zap you, but I got the glitch again and went around the drones and was a villain running inside City Hall.

Mine was Rancorous, a SS/Invul Brute. Fun times! Happy 20th COV!
