Extravagant gifts for all your insect friends!

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my mom just before Christmas in 2018 and I'm still grief-stricken.

I remember that SG and some of those names. I saw Smoke and Ele when the server first opened. It's been a long while since I saw them.

Because I am old and close minded. What server do you play on? Some servers have higher populations than others and you might have better luck switching servers than using Discord. Alternatively, you should find an SG or chat channel that uses Discord to run the content you like. Snarky mentioned a few like Cosmic Counsel and Task Force Junkies (both on at least Excelsior. They might be on other servers too.) Once you find people that like running Relentless ASF make sure to make them global friends and either join channels they also belong to or form your own channel and invite them.

I have one! Ballistic Flea. Add Combat Teleport and Speed of Sound's Jaunt TP and you can be a teleporting maniac. A few binds/macros and it's too much fun. Burst of Speed, roundhouse kick to the face (Eagle's Claw), Hail of Bullets, Combat Teleport/Jaunt back to get out of melee. I also have a DP/Ninja Sentinel that's an Equilibrium homage: Cleric Flea!

Less scheduled, but a heck of a lot more successful impromptu raids and trials.

How much are the level 50 ones going for?

I declare this the post of the day.

I leveled a rad armor/dark melee tank on SOs all the way to 50 and it was damn good. Then it got crazy good with an IO build. Very good resists, some absorb, 2 heals that do damage and almost endless endurance. Once you go IOs you can also get softcapped to some defense vectors on top of all that.

If you want to be Strong and Pretty, you have to be a brute.

Thanks for the heads up and may all your RL issues resolve quicker than a Speedy ITF.

I always heard that @TheZag was a big pinger. But I approve of Jimmy Day because how can I "But Jimmy" if Jimmy doesn't post?

Silly humans arguing about the right way to play. All reasonable sentient beings recognize that you have to play like I do, or you're doing it wrong.

+2 for on topic roleplay prose response. -2 for barely veiled insults.

I know this much is Troooo!

Happy Mother's Day, Hyper-Momma!

Happy FiveO de Mayo! I generally prefer soft flour tortillas for tacos, burritos, and similar things. For tortilla chips it's gotta be corn.

COUNTER-BIDS!

The bigness is part of what DOES keep players, IMO. Every time you think you've got everything covered, you discover another layer to explore, dissect, analyze, and master. One additional point: I don't think we need to worry about attracting new players or retaining old players, other than periodically adding new powers, maps, costumes, stories. Many of us have been playing this game for close to 20 years. I may occasionally get bored and play less, but I always come back. I don't think I'll leave as long as I can see a screen and push buttons.

Ice/Ice/Baby

I don't count stuff that is slotted or stored in base or character email/hero pack stuff either. I also don't keep a spreadsheet, or keep a bunch of inf stored on e-mails. I know I have more than 30 billion, but I don't know exactly how much. I do know that have more than I can spend. I have about 40 level 50s and each has what I consider to be a top-tier build. Each one of them got 200-300 mil in starter cash as well as access to the base storage. By the time they get to 50, or shortly thereafter, they have made back all that initial investment and by the time they get to +3 most have about 500 mill in cash. They get there just by playing, crafting, converting and selling their drops. Older characters have more because once I consider them "finished" I have them put in a bunch of lowball bids and then craft, convert, and sell that stuff when I periodically log them in every few months or so to collect sales & purchases, then restock and move them to a new dayjob location. I might even play them for a few missions or TFs before parking them and going on to the next. When anyone gets close to 2 billion, then I do send an email with that 200-300mill starter fund for the next project to collect.

Agree. Can finally see the bee that's not a bee!
