You know what that means, don't you?

But Jimmy, why can't he design and analyze economic systems then teach others how to as well?

I remember Lil Pips' Hero Builder. I think that was the original.

This seal saw Joe the Hermit and decided that being hermetically sealed was a very bad thing.

Soooo . . . after much gnashing of teeth, now that we've lived with the new travel powers for a bit how are you feeling about them. For me, while it did take some getting used to and a little badge hunting on new characters, I find the new system to be better and faster. But, to be fair and in the spirit of full disclosure, I was not one that used /enterfrombasepasscode too much before.

Why purge if you have almost unlimited character space?

Can we get a link to new COD on the top line like the Wikis?

Uber, thanks for all the time and effort you put into this. And it seems like it was a lot of both.

I know it's been a crazy year and the holidays are tough for some people for all sorts of reasons that need not be mentioned. But I wanted to sincerely wish you all happiness, health, and good fortune this holiday season and into the new year. It's GOT to be better than this one. - Bionic Flea

I haven't gone to look since they reset it. I assume my base went POOF!

POOL MAN! I decided one day to make a character that used the maximum amount of pool powers possible. I ended up making it poison/water defender. Thus was born Pool Man! (OK, even this crazy build was "viable" meaning that I was able to solo +1/x8 at level 50 with my completed build.)

Firstest is bestest!

Bug Mac?!!!!!?

It's one of the phases of societal evolution: stone tools, iron tools, bongos, flight, warp speed. I might have missed one.

OK. That's the way it's gonna be.

Alty, I love you. But now I must fight you!

But Jimmy, think of the children!

Thanks for the update, Cipher. Like I said, if we are under attack then you need to raise shields and call "BATTLE STATIONS!"

HEY! I resemble that remark! But I did briefly look for another post on the topic before starting a new one. Sorry, I didn't see it. If the powers that be want to merge, that's OK by me. Also, here's what I posted in the other discussion: "I've been getting the same browser checking page and occasionally I also get a 3 stage captcha (are you human? [], then click all the bicycles and click more bicycles. It's annoying. If there's an active or suspected attack, then by all means we need to protect ourselves. But if not or if it's long lasting, I hope we can have some other kind of credentials to avoid this verification stuff. Otherwise, I'll have to severely curb my lurking and posting, which may be welcome news to some, but it's not something I would like to have to do."

Every once in a while I'll get a white screen saying that HC forums need to "verify my brower" or something like that and then occasionally asks me to also verify that I am a human and to do a multi-click captcha. Are you guys (HC) under a DDOS attack? Were you? Or do you just hate me?

Personally, I love Poison on controllers. Yes, defenders have bigger debuff numbers but controllers get two extra holds! If built right, you can easily solo /x8 as you can completely lockdown spawn after spawn and then wade in with pets and debuffs to annihilate them. The biggest issue for me on any poison is getting mezzed. You are in the middle of a group seemingly godlike and untouchable and suddenly you get mezzed and collapse in a puddle. So consider Rune of Protection, Clarion, or some other form of mez protection for your build. If you really want to stick with a defender, consider Ice blast and an epic hold to be a Def-Troller!

Pineapple is a valid option. It's not something you want on every pizza. But every now and then, a Hawaiian pizza is a welcome change of pace.
