Is any server considered to be more Community based than others?
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.

The Doorbuster Badge: Destroy 100 Force Field Doors, Magical Barriers or Reinforced doors.
I do a lot of TFs having the required doors, and since 2019 I've never seen anyone interested in working towards this badge. How come? I realize a great many players are not "badgers" but I'd have thought I'd see someone ask the team to take out a few doors in the Yin TF police station, or the Council jail doors in Moonfire TF. Something like that.
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.

No not a new kind of costume at iCon.
Is there a hard number for when a thread turns necro?
Does it fluctuate depending on the nature of the thread? For example, if no one posted a costume in, say, 60 days on the "post your best costume designs here" thread, would it then be a necro thread, or could it be added to at any point without scorn, while a restarted casual question thread with the same delay would be discouraged?
We're not Steam. 😛

Don't think you read that very well bud.
Your initial post claimed 1 man sg only:
11 hours ago, JJDrakken said:I am a 1 man SG. I literally don't invite people to my SG, even when asked.
Somehow I must of. (Not sure how or when, most likely a wrong invite out of chat window). That seems to happen a lot, I get server friends showing up, I have no idea who they are.
Anyways, noticed a name that was not mine in my SG, saw the global. Was like, don't know who that is. Kicked em, then I started to wonder. Went checked my storage of enhancements & salvage. (Half base stuff can only be accessed by me, other half was when I had RL friends playing, before they stopped or passed away). So those where open.
Needless to say... they are empty now. Folks wonder why I hate humans. Needless to say, my fault for not catching that sooner or when it happened, still don't know how. (I'm pretty careful with that stuff).
Oh well.
However you later responded with this:
9 hours ago, JJDrakken said:As I said, I Half the Storage(Enhancements/Salvage) in the base can only be accessed by Officers and Higher.
Other half was just generally open to SG Mates, cuz again at the time. It was friends I've known for 20+ years. I didn't keep much in those anyways, just habit to stick stuff I wanna keep in my half. But If I recall I had Full set of melee single target Winter set and and a set of that new Cupid set. In others, cuz I was just dumping quick in em. Fire & Forget kinda of thing, since I'm literally only person in the SG anymore. (I've removed all rest, just my toons). But again, saw that name I was like who is that?
-shrugs- It's done & over. Just here to remind folks to be careful. I had changed the Salvage of that half other day to just my access. Cuz it has Costume Aethers filling em up. (Trying get to get to 250 for tiny costume for 1 toon, but I'm in no rush).
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.

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:
QuoteChris Neal (@wolfyseyes.bsky.social, blog): There is most definitely an easy answer in Star Citizen, but I’ve also felt a bit of this toxic positivity – or at least something near enough – out of the folks who get behind City of Heroes: Homecoming quite a bit. Apparently a game that old and run by players absolves it of all sins to some people.
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?

- IF IT USES GAME FILES, MAYBE IT IS NOT ACTUALLY MIDS THAT IS SCREWED UP.
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.
-
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.

I've been noticing a number of issues with MIDs lately and I'm trying to figure out if its buggy, if these are known issues or if this just a case of gross user error. I'll post a 'for example' build below and then mention the specific issues I've come across, in case somebody might be able to shed some light on what's going on with it.

Issue #1: Super Jump not registering.
When I toggle Super Jump on or off, nothing changes in the Misc Buffs tab of the View Totals window. The Jump Height and Jump Speed numbers remain the same. Hurdle, by comparison, significantly affects them both.
Issue #2: Adaptation stances not registering.
The various effects of Adaptation don't all seem to be functioning. For instance, when I toggle on Offensive Adaptation, I see a 7.5% bump in ToHit but the damage bonus shown in the Misc Buffs tab of the View Totals window doesn't change, nor do any of my Defense or Resistance numbers. Interestingly, the damage listed for the individual powers does change, but seem to do so rather erratically.
- Strike, with a base damage of 78.38, jumps from 241.6 to 300.8, a 75% increase over the base damage.
- Spin, with a base damage of 114.7, jumps from 330 to 418.2, a 77% increase over the base damage.
- Spring Attack, with a base damage of 93.84, jumps from 353 to 473.2, a 128% increase over the base damage.
- unenhanced Brawl, with a base damage of 22.52, jumps from 44.68 to 78.95, a 152% increase over base damage.
The numbers continue to be even more erratically affected depending on whether I've got things like Follow Up or Musculature toggled on and off, and not by any formula or pattern that I can detect.
Are these known issues, recent bugs, or do I just have some wonky settings I'm unaware of? TIA for any assistance or insight.
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.

Why? Because I missed you guys. I like sharing my "wisdom" such as it is.
Where have I been? Not far. I game Fri and Sun Evenings with Justice Superteamers on Excelsior. They run themed teams. Excellent gamers. I also run quite a bit solo.
My latest project? An AR/Dev Blaster who is soloing every contact in the game. Currently level 20, 789 badges. According to city data terminal 624 missions completed, 2 failed. 753 merits, although i have 1221, which i assume the difference is giant monsters and zone badging, etc. enemies defeated 21,644. theme is "little green army men" toon is Green Sarge on Excelsior. yes, i shrank him with mini mode. he is fun. i think AR/Dev Blaster is probably one of the most efficient toons to do this type of project with. i used to use Brutes. yeesh.
Mostly I solo. although I have led a very few TF/SF. The Posi One was... a Posi One! I held out zero hope of any coordination. Much to my surprise, as we zone into the last mission a teammate (I am leading but saying very little) suggests we do not "rescue" the last hero until we clear around the front of city hall. I get in team chat and say what a great idea this is. i tell everyone what the plan is. Then the shitheads saved everyone, the last guy was under the guy with one huge ball. The pulled everyone AND two of them jumped to city hall front door immediately. I ate inspirations, threw down caltrops, and thanked the stars I bought all the P2W grenades.... We made it. Barely. Oh, Posi One. Always a weird run...
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.

Have we been saying it wrong all this time?
The above is a tune from an album I've had for many years and play consistently because I love it so
And I always pronounced that track "Terp see cor"
And Manticore as "Man tea cor"
But apparently Terpsichore is pronounced "Terp Sick or ee"
So following that logic, should we not apply the same pronunciation to our game's richest bowman? It would be "Man tick or ee"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terpsichore
This is very much a first world issue but I am curious.
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.

I'm new I'm looking people to play with and help me with this game
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.

I don't see what the stigma is. I went back and ouroboros'd all the missions, making different choices each time after IOing. You still experience content just with swim floaties.
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.

Really you could've consolidated this into your other thread (or vice versa) regarding questioning whether psychic is natural or mutation.

Hi, so to take just as an example a Claws/SR scrapper. The Claws Primary is fully twinked out.
I now want to roll a Claws/Willpower scrapper.
Will the Claws build from the SR scrapper be just as effective for the Claws/Willpower scrapper without any changes?
I want to ask if there is an optimal build for a specific primary like Claws that is good for other scrapper secondaries.
So how good is a good primary, or must it also be reworked for a different secondary of same AT?
Sorry if this is a bit confused, am better at doing than explaining, thanks.
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.

I want to do some farming for influence and have a fire farm build ready. Are there any AE missions that have something like an endless spawn of mobs so that I don’t have to go in and out of the map every few minutes?
I’d like something that I can mindlessly do while on work calls and such.
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).

I tried that when I first came to the emulator and was unsuccessful. Could barely afford training enhancements the the influence I was earning.
Then I started to host teams doing arcs and received a lot of merits which were used to buy enhancement boosters and sold for a million each. Its been over 5 years and have saved up 1.2 billion. I get SO's at level 7 and upgrade them in seconds every 5 levels.
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.

okay okay. The OG devs intentionally made the descriptions not accurate so the players would have less clue to how the mechanics of the powers worked.
Yep. All to keep players paying for their subs.

Ultra
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.

While true, it is also a line-of-sight affected power. If I'm short, my line of sight would be altered by my height, would it not?
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.

Thanks for the feedback everyone I just got a free game off of epic games and im gonna split time between the two while doing some of the things mentioned.
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 😛
