Sounds good to me.

Yes.

The tediousness of moving stacks? Also, it'd be great if the slider auto-slid to the stack's current capacity instead of us having to constantly adjust it to correspond to the particular stack quantity. The suggestion is to make salvage take up different amounts of inventory space based on inventory. What's that got to do with what you're talking about?

Well, maybe you're fooling yourself. Putting a different power alongside Serum might follow the letter of the Cottage Rule, but completely ignores the spirit of it. If those two IOs that Mercs can't use are so powerful that the set is strictly inferior for the lack of them, the IOs are probably the outlier and should be nerfed. And I don't think anyone wants the IOs nerfed. Actually I think you're unclear on the spirit of the Cottage Rule. The purpose of the Cottage Rule was always just to not leave existing players feeling bait-and-switched. As long as the original power remains and is not taken away from players who liked it, the Cottage Rule is respected in both letter and spirit. It never had anything to do with balancing. And what is the difference, exactly, to a player who wants Serum but knows it's bad, if the devs simply give up on it and put another power in its place, mutually exclusive with it? If that's the approach they take to add the utility to Mercs that Serum is failing to provide?

I just don't see the point. We can already be really big and really small. Why do we need to be able to be bigger or smaller? It would never be enough to satisfy everyone, someone would always want to go beyond whatever bounds are set.

^ I partially agree with this. Given the fact what HAPPENED to Wade it makes no sense you can see him in game. He's a prisoner of war now. We shouldn't be able to give him an in game /em slap or RP next to him. Now, for the points I dont agree with one bit. Reverting two TFs back to the way they were simply because the older versions were harder, undermining the entire Signature Story Arcs as a whole and lets not forget the fact its been -years- since they've both been been killed and buried. An easy fix for this? Ouroboros, just as the Devs nicely if they could put the old versions of the TFs in Ouroboros because frankly that makes far more sense. They have a lot to do and they do it in their own free time, so I don't see why they should undo things like this after so long. Its insulting to the narrative. I'd personally love to see the older TFs come back in Ouro if the team has time to do it, that would be lovely. But I'd hate to see the new stuff be completely retconned or undone. Darrin Wade is a 20-30 contact. He's not revealed as the mastermind behind Who Will Die until part 4, a 30-40 arc, and he doesn't really start upsetting things until part 5, which is 40-50. As for reverting the STF and LRSF, it doesn't undermine the signature story arc. The TFs simply take place before the events of the signature story arc. If anything, it's the SSA that undermines the TFs, since without Statesman the TFs have less meaningful personal stakes for the contacts, and the last mission of the LRSF is significantly easier, when the whole point of the SF is to be a challenge. And the newer versions of the TFs are definitely retcons, so if you don't want retcons, they're the ones that need to go. I never said anything about the Sister Psyche TF. As for the MLTF, it might be virtually the same as the STF, but if the LRSF were to be reverted it makes no sense to not also revert its counterpart on the hero side.

Her respawn is supposed to only be about 15 minutes, IIRC. That's already very fast.

"By the point of" being the key there - what about before? Not every character is post 50 Incarnates. Anyway, just my opinion. Feel free to disagree. Tough Hide the the tier 8 power for Invul. Level 26 for Tankers, 35 for everyone else.

There's no sort of timer or limit on tip missions on Homecoming servers.

They aren't, in fact, at least not redside. I already looked for them. The bolded, Italicized, underlined line is the important one - STF, A Hero's Hero, and Sister Psyche are BLUESIDE ARCS AND TFS. If you are redside, you could only access them by being a Rogue and having a bluesider start them via Ouro. The LRSF, I'm not sure if that changed when States died; if it did, then I'm reasonably certain the original is in Ouro just like the STF, Hero's Hero, Calvin Scott, Sister Psyche, etc. are. Okay, do you really think I looked in the Villain side Ouroboros for Hero side arcs? You think I'm that stupid? I looked for the old LRSF. And it's not there. I was able to check the blueside Ouroboros for the old STF, and it, too, is not there. And of course the LRSF changed when Statesman died, that's 90% of the reason I made this thread. He's simply gone from the final mission, with no replacement. It makes the final mission significantly easier, not to mention less epic, to not have Statesman there throwing around lightning bolts. And it also ruins the meta-narrative around the two TFs; before Statesman died it was two archrivals, fighting to stop the other. A classic comic book story. Now it's just Recluse trying to pull off another evil plan.

You mean Sallydon. Well now you just made me picture Sally wearing a Don Corleone outfit and talking about making people "sleep with the fishes". So... thanks for that. She's going to seduce them?

Hm, I see a primer for the popmenu command, and a guide to editing the menu from the quick chat button, but I'm not sure where to find what I'm looking for.

Only 2 mill? That's an absolute steal. Gotta keep prices competitive to stay ahead of the competition.

Well, maybe you're fooling yourself. Putting a different power alongside Serum might follow the letter of the Cottage Rule, but completely ignores the spirit of it. If those two IOs that Mercs can't use are so powerful that the set is strictly inferior for the lack of them, the IOs are probably the outlier and should be nerfed. And I don't think anyone wants the IOs nerfed. The damage buff is only one aspect of Serum, and it's a minor one at that. The main draw is that it halves the damage your Merc takes and gives them status protection, including to knockback.

"On last mission of Dr. Q. TF, selling spots for 2 mil each, send tell!"

I thought the idea was to make Serum good I don't think it's a mistake, that's the same recharge as on Unstoppable, Power Surge, Elude, et al. I think the idea was to give Mercs a grantable t9 defensive power. It just went through a few rounds of nerfs since it's ally granted, meant for pets, on an AT that doesn't typically have strong personal defense, etc.

There seems to be a bug with Dark Nova where if you customize the color, it results in an infinitely long beam of light stretching from the character to some point off the map. Observed with the Bright FX scheme.

They aren't, in fact, at least not redside. I already looked for them. The story has moved forward, but these TFs take place before that happened. There are numerous arcs with a disclaimer that they take place after the events of issue 23, there's no reason we can't have two with a disclaimer that says they happened before something.

Oh no what have you done

Anyone know how to edit the menu that pops up if you right-click a player in the world or by right-clicking their name in the Team or League windows? I want to add Get Global Name to it.

I keep zoning into new maps to find that the Friends window has opened itself. Not sure what other details to add, I've seen it happen on both missions and public zones.

In the mission "Stop the Blogger's Reign of Terror," a 40-50 Hero Alignment mission for Rogues, you need to save 3 heroes and then defeat a boss. However, if the heroes are defeated by enemy AoEs before being rescued, the boss will fail to spawn.

Spider's Bite only affects powers that do damage. Not affecting Surveillance is exactly what would be expected.

I did some snooping and found that the window scale is exactly the cause of this issue; the larger the scale of the window, the more of the bottom of the list in the window is cut off. Likewise, if you have it set to a smaller than standard scale, affected windows will let you scroll past the bottom of the list into blank space.

I suggested making it into a 0 endurance toggle with a 1 minute recharge rate. What part of that doesn't deal with the short duration and enormous recharge time and the uselessness of a pet? The uselessness would only happen when the toggle gets taken off... but that's only liable to happen when the pet is killed or between missions as team composition changes so... *shrug* Like I said, changing the buffs it gives doesn’t solve the problem it has. Your suggestion solves the actual problem, then keeps going and also changes what the power does. Why? That’s just changing it for the sake of changing it.
