    Now? I'm against the instanced Hami raid request. If a player is causing problems, record it, report it, and let the GMs handle it.

    I don't normally do Hami raids, so that's out.

     

    You're against a proposal that will not effect you at all and want to toss more work at volunteer GMs?

     

    Of course, you should report players that are misbehaving but there's also nothing wrong with players not associating with other players that are misbehaving.  That's what the rating system, the kick button, and the /ignore feature are for.

  2. I have way too many to play them all everyday and I keep making more.  Hello, my name is Bionic Flea and I'm an altoholic  (New Flea name!)

     

    But I do log them all in periodically to either play them or at least move day jobs, pick up sales & purchases, and put down some new sales.  So under the announced policy I would be covered as a 50, but I would also be covered by using them every few months or so.

    Right so I guess it's only other people who are name camping then.

     

    There's an emoji, so I guess this was a joke.  But I am not name camping anything.  I make a new character, play it to 50 +3, and then make a new one and repeat.  Lots of Fleas.

     

    So I don't know who is name camping.  I don't think it's cool for people to make a bunch of level 1s to camp the name.  But I also don't like any of the suggestions made to fix that more than the Dev's proposed change.

    Fifteen years later, we now have at least four Supermen, at least three Batmen, and a gazillion Spider-Men running around in comic books.  Seems to be working okay for them.

     

    I don't like what they've done with that either.  *shrug*

    You wouldn't be in the chat, unless you specifically wanted to see global names.   In chat, your name would still be Bionic Flea.  That's how it works in CO and STO.  You wouldn't see the global in the name floating above your character either.

    I also don't want to see Bionic Flea(@Zacking) or Bionic Flea(@Snarky) either!  And that is exactly the point of this suggestion.  So that everyone can be Bionic Flea if they wanted to.  No thanks.  There's only one me.

    how are blasters supposed to solo?

     

    In my experience, there are two basic ways:

     

    1) Carefully -- Pull, stay at range, strafe, use defensive inspirations and temp powers.

     

    2) With reckless abandon! -- Load up on red inspirations, Aim+Build up and blow your enemies to smithereens before they know you are even there.

  7. I want to feel effective AND be effective.  But there are certainly sets, or set combos more appropriately, that are set and forget and you feel like you aren't doing anything.

     

    For example, Bots/FF is pretty effective as long as you aren't at +4.  But it's boring, summon, buff, take a nap.  But Bots/Traps or Bots/Electric are just as effective but a lot more active.

     

    I've recently leveled an Elec/Elec defender and that is approaching too busy.  Fun, but I have to pay attention.

  8. Shouldn't Luna also sell prior years anniversary badges?  I know we aren't there yet but I want to make sure it gets merged before going live.

     

    Additionally, one of the inspirations doesn't say what it does in detailed info.  All the others state they provide AoE Defense, Endurance, Heal, or Damage.

     

    The Defense Anniversary Inspiration is granting 33 defense x 5.  Seems a bit much so I'm guessing the multiples is a bug.  If not, thanks!

  9. Welcome back
    Your dreams were your ticket out
    Welcome back
    To that same old place that you laughed about
    Well, the names have all changed
    Since you hung around
    But those dreams have remained
    And they've turned around
    Who'd have thought they'd lead you
    (Who'd have thought they'd lead you)
    Back here where we need you?
    (Back here where we need you?)
     
    * * *
    And I know what a scene
    You were learnin' in
    Was there somethin' that
    Made you come back again?

  10. Thanks for your diary.  I really enjoyed it.  What surprised me the most was the roller-coaster of money coming in and then going out until you were almost completely broke again.

     

    I also usually just give my new characters starting cash of 200-300 million to buy all the transports at level one and start bidding on ATOs, etc.  I also keep a lot of commonly used stuff stocked in my base.  Between my started cash, the base supply, and what I earn just selling my drops, crafting and converting set IO recipes, vendoring generics, and excess salvage, I end up at a 100 million plus inf banked on that at 50 and fully slotted. 

     

    And that's when I really start making cash as my character can now kill efficiently at high settings and I no longer have double XP/No Inf.   I still do sell my drops, crafting and converting as needed.  Once I get them to T3 or T4 and consider them "finished," that's when I have them put in lowball bids on recipes and needed salvage.  When I visit them again in a few months, they'll have everything needed to craft a bunch of stuff, place those for sale, and renew bids.  So that even unplayed characters are making bank.

  11. Hi BaBs/Tic-Toc! 

     

    Remember that one time, on test server, you were on your Dev character, and the rest of us were trying to figure out the new Hammy raid? 

     

    We lost focus and starting dying.  You said, "RUN!"  Someone said, "We are!"  And then you said, "RUN . . . FASTER!!"  Good times.

    I must say I'm confused. I've never heard of aprocalypse until this thread. 

     

    Ask Captain PowerHouse or hang out in the Gold Standard Testers Discord, where a lot of the beta testing discussions take place.
