Scarlet Shocker

It is entirely possible that: a) Paragon City was effectively extant way before this date but was renamed Paragon for some as yet unexplained reason (There are no Lore plaques to confirm or deny this.) b) Paragon was formed on the site of a nexus where Magic, Science, and strange phenomenon appeared - where monsters and people flocked to discover new forms of power - and where there are people there are more people in the form of traders, service providers, farmers and transports. c) We should perhaps not stress too much about the exact date that a fictional city that doesn't actually exist wasn't actually founded

I think it's quite easy to fall into the trap of going with what you know - which can be self-limiting. It's very good to sometimes explore different options and discover what (dis)advantages they bring to our game. I remember in my early days on live (around 2006 - I6 if memory serves) I had a character that wasn't performing well, in the mid-20s (back in the days when we were still mostly running around Steel Canyon) and I respecced it into Maneuvers and Tactics - without understanding how end hungry they were. It rendered the character unplayable and so it was swiftly deleted but that was a lesson in remaining conservative. I'm trying to improve my diversity but sometimes it's hard to make a compelling case for it.

There are, but you can only ever visit them at midnight Thinking about it, you'll be right at home then Snarky! 😄

I got it. As useful as a rubber duck in the Sahara Thanks

How do they actually function?

You've been looking in your spam folder again haven't you Snarky? Those "enlargement" emails aren't relevant here. 🤣

I've spoken with Zed and the Mid's guys on their discord.

I just learned this - if it's common knowledge, then I apologise but this tune is more than a little familiar. From 1941, I give you... King's Row

Huntsman spiders - just go straight down the middle and turn all numbers orange 🙂

so I had an issue just this weekend, trying to post a build and getting an error in the doing thereof. The errors were inconsistent and I did not necessarily screenshot them but suffice to say that I had a fail. I submitted reports to all and had some convos - but I was disappointed to find that the general consensus is "they say it's them" I want to be clear here that I am not in any way apportioning blame nor calling anyone out - I totally get we're working in an environment where we have volunteers who are both passionate and dedicated. This isn't about them or us or anyone. But it does seem that there may be a blockage in comms. Mid's is a vital resource to this game and has been since it was released on live back in 2000+dot. Indeed if it was a commercial game, I would expect Mid's and the Costume creator to have been hived off into a connected mobile app - build and design your toon while you're not on your PC. I get that all the teams here volunteer their time, their abilities, and their passion to make the game better - but I would love there to be more open channels because when I come here to seek advice, builds are almost essential these days. It would be very difficult to envisage a world without Mids in its midst, so to speak. It's so valuable, it's essentially a core element. One is diminished without the other (and the flip doesn't bear thinking about.) So would it be possible to get the teams from both to put collective genius heads together and sort a fix? I would seriously love that and I am sure I would not be alone. And if you are in management of either side, please take this in the spirit of intent - I'm not having a pop, but I am a bit frustrated when I craft a thing of (potential) beauty for the world's perusal to be told "nope"

I long for the days when I could get Egg, Bacon, and spam for £1.50 And a mullett haircut for £3.25

I'm presuming this was a typo? Lucky them if not

I default to Mystic Flight these days - a good fly and a TP. What's not to like? It's what the Teleport power should always have been.

I have gin. I iz reddy

After due consideration of the subject and subsequent replies I have drawn the following conclusion: I am ok with the fact that the OP is sad.

Thanks for clarifying But nobody calls out all the other rescues (there are many males) which are equally annoying. If a rescue mission was easy, it probably isn't a rescue and the mechanics of rescues in this game are "do any mission but you can't exit quickly because you have to lead somebody to the door and they are slow" Nobody treats the missing fortune teller in the same way because she gives a badge that is a requirement. That's all I'm saying.

Interesting choice. I was drawn to Bio because of the added bulk it gives a character - it makes an already impressive huge character even more imposing. I haven't ever tried DA but I might experiment with it a little, but my previous experiences of Dark anything seem to be lacklustre

We are males. RTFM is an anathema to us! 😂

Thankees. I did get that but I didn't realise it at the time and was expecting the badge at the end. As you were.

eat too many of these and you get... conestipation

Good find! Party time!

I find one of the biggest problems is that it's so easy to get to 50 now I have a lot that all need a lot of work, which means some get left to moulder while I'm working on my next thing without ever reaching "completion"

It's been a long time since I ran his arc, so things may have changed but time was he gave a badge. This time he didn't. Are there pre-reqs that we didn't have or has that changed in one of the intervening patches/updates?
