I'd caution to better think on and treat each build you make with different combinations on their own instead of comparatively when switching secondaries and other choices. Effectivity varies and in some cases widely.

Must every two-bit criminal in the city have prolific lore and back stories in the game? Nope.

In the most dripping Southern Drawl possible: "Oh, bless your heart."

No. System doesnt accomodate that. You're going to have to run afk farm builds through the timed missions (and then reset and do it over) or active builds through the longer farm missions (so that you have less mission transition downtime).

There's always friction when big ego's clash.

1. This isnt an emulator and this isnt the first time you've pushed that claim. Its an licensed iteration of the game. 2. Its taken you over 5 years, given your propensity for playing the game, to hit 1.2 billion? Ouch. 3. Given point 2 and your choice to upgrade so's from level 7 on to 50, that'd explain some aspects of that. 4. Merit selling is a poor man's bank account, but you know that and that's of course your choice but it certainly isnt something to vaunt.

Yep. All to keep players paying for their subs.

Can you show a comparison screen shot you were mentioning from the other person? Also, you could ask the other person for their exact settings too. Lastly, your settings btw are not on the highest graphic fidelity settings even though you have the "ultra" -section- opened. But basically the look would be the same just an fyi.

Since you seem like you want to have some sort of erroneous confirmation bias and because people have explained this to you already but you still remain skeptical, please go to the beta test server and test this yourself.

That sort of contradicts your original statement that you dont have the time to devote to playing another game. I suspect you got Return to Moria (yes I've played it) and if so, you're going to find it tedious by about midway in the game 😛

Basically due to your saying that you dont want to devote time to other activities in game and want only easy things, you're narrowing down your possibilities as most of the content of the game revolves around the things you say you dont want to do. 1. You dont want to roleplay. 2. You likely dont have a farmer toon built yet for influence farming. 3. You'd likely not want to perfect lowbie money making methods either. 4. Base building likely isnt your cup of tea. 5. You'd (Currently) probably not want to try to get the best scores on the ice slides in the chalet xmas area. 6. You'd probably not want to farm candy canes from present hunting, or other similar holiday activities. 7. You'd also probably not want to stand around under atlas and troll general chat. 8. You'd almost guaranteed not want to teach new players how to play the game either. List goes on but my take on this is that really there's nothing that is going to suit you because your wants more or less outside of your current badge hunting mentionings, arent really matching the reality of what it entails to play the game. *shrug*

Complete bunk. Most of that nonsense is just simply a segment of the player population, mostly spurred on by hatred towards AE farming, that keep trying to claim it is coming, claiming that for almost the entirety that HC's even been public. Worry about the now and not the "its coming" silliness.

Remember not all toons level well 1-50. Some are smooth and others are roller coasters and others are just a pit of hell until incarnates are done. Mids tends to have all sorts issues and should only be used as a basic guidelines. tool tips, stats and more can be anomalous. Just the other day I was toggling on and off just ONE power and the endurance listed globally was giving between 2-4 different numbers. Current care takers of Mids basically are dealing with it being a bit of a spaghetti code situation. Always when you intend a build that you really want to push beyond gen pop casual to 50, make sure you test out information on it via the beta server if you want to have the closest in game stat applications for it. If its just for gen pop causual though mids does what it needs. Most people who get cookie cutter builds from here or mids discord etc rarely fully incarn out to the max the builds they get. That said, Its 10% all but p/t for SK.

Counterintuitive premise as if known to the point of being felt to be marketed for recognition(unlike literally everyone mentioned thus far in the thread who are already rather well known) then they're not unsung, really. If you want to make it more of a category for who are "unsung" then there's merit in that, especially for those that take the time to 1 on 1 teach newbies how to play, just gen pop run teams and keep people from being at each others throats etc etc. But really this thread just is turning more into a jrHigh popularity nominations thread.

Converting them to hero merits and collecting them on a bank alt. Then using as you need for whatever you need if you convert em back down.
