  1. Usually the servers with the most concurrencies tend to be the most social as if they werent, they would be typically much less players there. You can also look at schedules of activities hosted by groups on a regular, if not daily basis too in such regards. Thus Excelsior has the most compelling evidence for being the most social. Now, whether or not the types of social activities found their match your wants, may be another story. If you are more focused on say Role playing, then Everlasting may be more apt for you.
  2. Only a driven badger cares about ones like this and usually those so driven do so on their own instead of enlisting tf runners to take time out of their tf's do it, especially on the ones people prefer to do expeditiously. Bit silly really.
  3. We're not Steam. 😛
  4. Your initial post claimed 1 man sg only: However you later responded with this: So from that statement, yes you did have friends etc who joined. My initial response was/is applicable. The only way to 100% guarantee you dont have such things happen if you truly dont want something lost is to have things in on an alt's SG with no access except you. Sorry you got pilfered but hopefully you'll be a wiser for the wear.
  5. Massively Overthinking: Toxic positivity in the land of MMORPGs | Massively Overpowered Article essentially discusses issues of games and toxic positivity seen by different writers on staff of the site regarding different games. A quote from one of the staff from the site: I know members of MassivelyOP have covered HC many times in the past and play so this is an interesting take, and I agree as a whole that toxic positivity across many different games, while its existed in the past, is increasingly becoming more and more common across the board as well. What are others thoughts?
  6. It is. Its due in part to the system the app is build on and also in part to how it is curated. This isn't a case of attempting to shift blame to the game.
  7. If you share an SG with others, be willing to lose anything you put in its storage, this is like MMO 101 stuff. Even people long term you've known and trusted will strip it clean. Cant tell you the number of times this used to happen on Retail CoH, WoW, etc. If you have valuables you dont want taken, always keep them on an alt's SG that you never, ever, invite anyone to.
  8. Mids for a long long while now has been a mess. Dont trust numbers what so ever from it. I've had numerical results change literally constantly from toggling powers in new builds made on the app to the point that I have to just assume the lowest unfortunately. So what ever build you make, --Always-- go test and confirm numbers and abilities with it on on the PTR if you're seeking more accuracy than that app provides. Essentially, its a clunker that just gets enough to keep it on the road but isnt necessarily reliable for when it needs oil, gas, or the time it'll take to get you to your destination. I wish the app was redone and with better curation but for the foreseeable future, that's not going to be the case.
  9. 1. Knew you wouldnt stay away. 2. Next time you get a warning from another big ego, use your ego enhancements to put them in their place with a smile instead of feeling slighted.
  10. Living languages change language all the time/every day. And while there are past or present prescriptive rules used in various discourse communities, descriptive rules of discourse actually dictate most of those changes as well as their discourse community norms. In other words, you're over thinking it and the typically accepted pronunciations are fine.
  11. 1. If you want more opportunities to encounter people to help you, then you may want to choose higher population servers such as Excelsior. Playing during its peak player concurrency times also helps too. 2. What specifically are you needing help with game with? A certain amount of game play is experiential learning and the game is relatively solo friendly. We also have many guides, subforums and more as well which can help answer questions for you here too. In game when you make a new character you can also choose to designate yourself as someone needing help as a title to your character. Then you can simply ask in game's help channel or its general channel. Additionally, there is a discord channel for assistance. Best of luck.
  12. Excuses will abound by the detractors from people leveling how they wish to; but it boils truly down to elitism. They just dress it up otherwise. As an example, the ones that say that new players pl'ing is "wrong" and then attack such people for not knowing how to play(by their standards) instead of working with folks to learn to play when they denounce, kick, etc those folks from teams etc. They'd just simply prefer play of the game to be some form of an initiation where people either sink or swim and accepting the those who've swam sufficiently in their eyes. Same individuals typically also hate the April Mapserve event and the Halloween one as well. They've been responsible for running off not a small number of people over the years that have not conformed to their play expectations. Its a shame but every few months these sorts of debates on this get dredged up. They may very well win their desires for any form of leveling outside of a specific pace they wish to dictate as acceptable, but it'll likely not have the intended results they expect.
  13. Really you could've consolidated this into your other thread (or vice versa) regarding questioning whether psychic is natural or mutation.
  14. This is a creative choice by the player. Justifications for any origin can be made and debated endlessly.
  15. 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.
  16. Must every two-bit criminal in the city have prolific lore and back stories in the game? Nope.
  17. In the most dripping Southern Drawl possible: "Oh, bless your heart."
  18. 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).
  19. There's always friction when big ego's clash.
  20. 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.
  21. Yep. All to keep players paying for their subs.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. 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 😛
  25. 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*
