Is it possible? Yes. Is it effective? No. Is it crazy? Yes. Can it be done? Yes. Should it be done? *shrug* As an experiment, sure. Has it been done? Not sure, but I bet someone has.

Great job in putting all this together and sharing your thoughts. While I agree with you that having a large sample size can minimize noise and randomness, when you have sooooo many different variables I'd expect you'd need a sample size in the thousands to do so. But hey, you do you!

I've also been playing and enjoying it. I have found if you play against bots or in quick matches with people there is either zero talk or positive talk. It's only when you go into competitive that you get into the PvP smack talk, and usually from your own team. So I just avoid competitive. Like many of you, I've been a Marvel fan decades before it became cool and find great enjoyment playing as those characters. And I have never played Overwatch or Fortnight. I'm sure I'd probably be better if I had. Friend me there as Bionic_Flea if you'd like to team up or want to chat over there.

It's a Crumpet Christmas miracle!

Merry Christmas to you and all you crazy folks on these forums that keep me entertained and (in)sane.

You say this like it's a bad thing.

I can't speak to anyone's intentions but my own, but I have nothing against any particular player being included as a tribute, but I also realize that we can't (and probably shouldn't) memorialize every player. So if we do it for some and not others, there should be some way of deciding that.

It's OK Snarky. All vampires and fleas suck . . . blood.

I agree with both of Greycat's suggestions. We should have a "Tomb of the Unknown Soldier" type of memorial that can serve as a tribute to all players who have passed away and we should also have some sort of criteria for who gets put into the game as a character. We already have several (https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Category:Memorial_NPCs) I have an additional suggestion: I would like to have a new base item called a "holo emitter" or something similar that could display a designated character's image, like the one we see at the end of Number Six's arc. Not sure how hard it would be to do that, but I assume it's possible because of that mission and how we can copy character costumes in the AE. That way, players can create tributes to any and all of their friends, and I assume someone would eventually take it upon themselves to create a Hall of Heroes remembering everyone in the Fallen but not Forgotten thread. PS - Here's the Holo-Statue of Bionic Flea from that mission:

As this graphic clearly shows, to properly kill skuls while being strong and pretty, you MUST properly slot . . . and eat nachos.

Obviously you are not trying hard enough. Turn yourself off harder!

I’m still traveling from Thanksgiving, so I can’t look at Mids or my character, but it played fine to me. I did consider adding recharge somehow but could not decide on what to sacrifice to get it. I may have traded attuned IOs for +5 boosted ones on some of those.

I AM RIGHT!! Also, you are wrong, which makes me even more right.

Here's mine. I take a slightly different tack to most on Symphony -- I slot for range. A few sets of Bombardment, Intuition Radial, and Clarion Radial and I can make those cones hit from 154 feet away, scaling down to 98 feet when Clarion is down. I also slot Confounding Chant with Frozen Blast set so I get Stun + Immob, which is a poor man's AoE hold. Similarly, the Aria of Stasis immob gets a set of Overpowering Presence and the Font adds a stun. When stuff is locked down I can hit them with Frost Breath and Ice Storm while Fluffy and the Rev have their way with them.

I blame all those YouTube tabs. DAMN! I thought I was bad. 😛

I have always liked this idea.

All Hybrid incarnate powers are a strange combination of Auto, Click, and Toggle. Once you slot a hybrid, you get the auto portion of the power. To get the other benefits, you have to click on it and then you can see the "spin" that all toggles have except that it will expire after two minutes and then spend another two minutes recharging until you can click it again. For Melee Core Embodiment specifically, all of the benefits above the phrase "Grants power Melee Boost Very Rare" are only active when clicked (and in the presence of critters to stack) and the +30 regen below the phrase is automatic and always on.

Blarf's eating that poor bird!

I feel the urge to tidy up your inspirations. They're making me twitch!

I heard the game has problems differentiating between dead and undead. It probably thinks you are just dead dead. No badge for you!

You made a character named Blarf just so you could test this, didn't you. Don't be Ridiculous!

Fire blast shoots fire. Ice blast shoots ice. Optic blast shoots . . . eyeballs? HELL YES! I WANT TO SHOOT EYEBALLS OUT OF MY EYEBALLS!!

Back on live, when I first created Bionic Flea, the only store that sold tech SOs at my level that I knew of was way at the back of IP. I was very happy when someone introduced me to the tech contact in Bricks that you had to run a mission for. This was way before they added the quartermasters in RWZ that sold everything.
