Is his name Peter by any chance? 😉 You're idea is hilarious. I'd only add one thing: the tourist should not be present at all times. That would quickly bore the players and he'd be ignored. Either put him on a long timer for appearances, or tie his appearance to some great achievement, a little like how the Kronos appears when a specific mission is completed. Though Kronos is not the best example due to the number of spawns teams generate. It would need to be something rare. Actually, a second idea, and I've no idea how it could be pulled off, but have him occasionally walk over to a player character standing still and have him take a selfie with the player.

They do have a presence, though I'm pretty sure you're asking for more. The protective sigils next to the Talos Island door are Midnighter activity, and they've a few Midnighters acting as trainer and stores. Looking beyond that, however, lore-wise I'd suggest it may be impractical to create a building bound to the club. It would be a magnet and under constant assault. However, if it were portrayed as though the Midnighters have a mobile portal to the club guarded by members, much like the TUNNEL system or the pillar of fire & ice to Chimerora, it could be closed and moved whenever a threat found their location.

This is why powerful tranq guns and helicopters were invented. *nods sagaciously* 😁

Because we're a coastal city? 😉

I know it is very early into the release, but is one archetype standing out as being more simpatico to Marine Affinity than the others?

The Hollows has a couple of storylines capped off with some good last missions. If you seen someone "yell" for teammates for the Frostfire mission, that's one of them, it's the culmination of one introducing the Outcasts, and its a fan favorite. The other would be the Atta cave mission, which is the culmination of a storyline dealing with the Trolls faction. It's been a long while since I did the Hollows but I believe they both start with the missions given by the officer just next to the gate to Atlas Park. @Snarky I'm guessing would have a good list for you. The old bat has played through all the missions, I believe in all three sides. Crimson, whose missions are up in the 40s blue side, has a good one focused on Malta. Bring a team. Their sappers are no joke. Faultline does have a good arc explaining what happened in the zone, and setting the stage for the second hero to carry the name Faultline, who factors in to the Rikti War Zone missions starting around level 35. I believe Levantera in the RWZ base kicks those off, though it moves through several mission givers.

Apologies if it came across as faulting you. I'm a tad frustrated with the writers for muddying the waters, not with any viewer.

I was recently introduced to The Fat Electrician channel when someone showed me his incredible "Proportional" video and I must say, the man's a born storyteller. The "Band of Beavers" one was pretty great as well. One question did arise when watching the hippo video. Perhaps someone here is in the veterinarian business and could answer. Is chemical castration not an option?

Got it. Did so and confirmed. Thanks to whomever did such a quick turn-around on the fix!

Following up on @Midnight Mystique's comment, I just selected a random global name with no spaces and was able to send a modest amount of influence to it without a fight. Seems Globals with spaces might indeed be the problem.

Seconded this. Email is not working on either account. (was working at time I last logged off before Issue 28, about 3am EST this morning). Cannot send to self, cannot send to other. Rebooted game multiple times and no improvement. Was trying to transfer funds to other characters and ended up using characters from each account to transfer funds. That method did work, so it wasn't an issue with the funds, at least in general. Both my accounts have spaces in the global names, so I can't test that element of it as described by @Midnight Mystique. I'm on a Windows 10 Pro computer if that has anything to do with it.

Also, Earth-616 is the comic book universe. Earth-199999 is the film/Disney+ universe. I'm aware of some film characters apparently calling it "616" but there are significant differences between the two, and the comic books were here first. Additionally, there's a jibe to the MCU Spider-man in Spider-man: Across the Spider-verse that refers to him as "199999". I don't know why Marvel muddied the waters. EDIT: for a list of universes, including 199999 with description, here's the Wiki page. It notes under Earth-616 that "616" was a lie told by MCU Mysterio.

Only if we get as options: And um.... Hmmm.... *Runs off to make thread about accordions*

Ah, I'd thought the "remains of Ouroboros" scene was in the immediate aftermath of the Coming Storm. Like the big O got its clock cleaned, and as the Storm moved on, passing into the galactic distance, the events with Mender Ramiel in the far distant future, played out. Which meant everything else were waves of destruction leading to that specific destruction.

1) I'm pretty sure they prefer to be referred to as "sorcerers" 😏 3) Why do you think Howard talks about Steve Rogers all the time in front of Tony? 😉 2) It's actually crazier than that, because it means that at least Steve Rogers has to sit on the knowledge that SHIELD is being infiltrated by that parasite HYDRA, and do nothing, allowing thousands to die to preserve the timeline. If he's told Peggy or even Howard, then they all have to refuse to act. Alternatively, if Steve did create a splinter timeline, then he could tell Peggy and Howard and they'd clean house. Then pretty much everything changes, starting with the rescue of Bucky and thereby Howard Stark as well.

I'm not opposed to this, so long as we don't get another milquetoast powerset. That said, I suspect the number of Joker license violations will go through the roof. I might have to reserve a spot for a Hobbit stalker if this set ever gets announced. It would be my homage to Lord of the Rings Online, just like my dwarf warrior homage to WoW.

Even if nothing further was ever done with the concept, I'd love to learn any details of a roadmap the OG developers had, assuming there was one. Whatever it was going to be, the vision/bodysliding that the Mender offers you has us realizing that the ultimate portions are still 5,000 years away, I believe it was. So we probably never would have dealt with the final stage anyway in the life of the game, unless the big O's efforts, or perhaps the Midnighter's efforts changed things enough that 5,000 became 5.

tidge, certainly no offense intended, but you do understand that this statement comes across like a reason, more like 3 reasons, with some merit towards actually alter the current arrangement, yes? 1) "for its era" (antiquated) 2) "when debt worked differently" (alteration affects balance) 3) "leveling/teaming options were fewer" (alteration affects balance) I'm not saying there's a case for change, mind you. I've no dog in this fight, as I generally avoid the Hollows having spent far too long in it during the original game. I do enjoy occasionally helping out on the Frostfire take-down, but that's about it. Were I to go at it again, use of Oroboros would be sufficient for me.

WoW also had/has flagged PvP, which sounds like the way to go if the OP's concept were to be carried out. The only other way I could see would be if there were instanced zones for the opposing side to ramble around in. We've got splinters of this already in the vault robbery paper contact missions, but it's always a fraction of a zone, and with a specific setup.

And yet, Steve Rogers returned to the past and stayed there. So...was he actually the secret father to Peggy's kids seen in photos in The Winter Soldier? Was Peggy playing dumb for timeline reasons? Or did he create a separate timeline, and if so, how did he figure out which timeline/universe to return to so (after so much time and presumably other splinters) that Sam could get the shield? Honestly, I think the MCU creators deliberately muddy the waters so that there is a lot of debate and squabbling over the issue, but any chance at a rock-solid answer is unreachable. Yes, that's even with the events of Loki which still left a few questions as to "well how did that work, because..."

They should have. That said, the Dominion had to go through a certain wormhole, and well, time-suspending super aliens are almost as good, and a lot less messy. Time travel: really not necessary in the MCU. Why? Because they've already established the multi-verse. When they either conclude or more likely mess up Earth-199999 there's no need to time travel reboot, simply either: (a) have America (the star-portal universe jumper, not the nation) vacate the universe and bring the camera with her to another universe or (b) have a character/team visit Earth-199999 from another universe, return home, and the camera shifts to them and their cosmic vine. Either way, have Jeffery Wright make a live action cameo as the Watcher shifting his gaze to this new universe to solidify the decision to move along. Doing so, you admittedly leave what's hated in place, but you also don't mess with what is beloved. All the stakes that were in place with each story still remain in place for future viewers, but we get to tell all new tales of our favorite characters, and have all new actors playing them.

There was a Calendar and Events feature? Why do I not remember that?

I've been told the 1966 TV show Batman wanted to do Clayface, but obviously that presented some practical effects challenges for their day. So they opted to create a master of disguise they called False Face. While I'm sure that name will not pass the game rules, perhaps it will serve as inspiration. As to mythology, the Greek sea deity Proteus is known for mutability. and his name is used for concepts and functions involving change. I believe Marvel has locked down the name using a character, and even our game has Protean, a shape shifter. But again, perhaps it will serve as inspiration.
