Scarlet Shocker

I've not done that content ever, to my knowledge. I will send an emissary to discover its outcomes immediately.

Clearly this was heroside, so it must've been this guy

No questions are silly. Gold side can get complicated. I believe there's some info on the HCwiki - link up top - and there are several threads relating to pathways around here so you might find a deep dive is worthwhile, especially if you have good search fu Best of proverbial wossname

Just a lil respec

That's... weird

@darkkeepr are you using Razer Synapse? If so what version. There are issues with Razer Synapse 4 and there are no immediate plans for a fix. I discovered this after a long series of exchanges regarding my Tarterus, which is basically the Belkin n52 Nostromo, only ruined.

Clarifying vegans is very difficult due to their very low fat content but remember, what happens in vegans stays in vegans

we know a song about that, don't we, boys and girls?

Rationalise pool powers (putting them in tier level where you can "pick 'n' mix" the powers you want according to the level of the power you choose. I'd allow more than 4 pool picks so you could effectively run mostly pool powers if you so choose. I'd reduce XP boosters - probably replace the DXP boost with a 10% booster instead. Lots of story arcs have loose ends or just stop without any apparent resolution. I would work on those as priority - let's finish the Praetorian arcs properly once and for all, for example. I'd do more to introduce less well known signature and named characters. There are many many who are super interesting, but only get a tiny bit part. I'd FIX Frostfire's resolution. His arc in the Hollows is excellent but his attempt to sanitise and rehabilitate him is rushed and inconsequential and I'd much rather see him become a real force for in the city and not always on your side. Why can he not tap into the Well of the Furies? Incarnate Frostfire would be a force to be reckoned with and make an excellent story.

That's not a bad idea, although not really what I had envisioned. I was thinking more that Galaxy gets rebuilt with some shiny new buildings, a very similar layout but with new game tech, and the shiny new that both live and hc devs have utilised on other zones such as KW. I perhaps should have been more explicit on that in my original post but I'd already done half a novel and it slipped my mind. I wasn't just suggesting that it got returned to pre-Freedom state but move the game, story and city forwards Let's expand on that: I was thinking more about the Mayor* saying "Let's take back our city" - Galaxy is at the heart of Paragon after all, and a series of missions of all level ranges to clear out Galaxy and ensure it stays safe. Lower levels can clear out the neo-Shivans and higher levels can turn it into a very safe place for the citizenry. *Who is the Mayor these days? Is there an actual named person?

this I did not know, but it's clearly a demotion for her and her memory.

Both those zones have significant work going on already.

Hardly a ground breaking revelatory piece, more just content filler. Still all the publicity our home gets, is pretty good

If you've read much of my input on the game I've never advocated for removal of content even if I personally think it's dreadful. I'm totally on board with your response but I'd still love to see Galaxy restored to it's rightful place!

It's been a very long time in actual years since Galaxy City was destroyed with the launch of Freedom and the new training mission. It's been a long time in game terms too. And yet I notice that Outbreak and Breakout seem to have a good following of new heroes coming on-line and learning the ropes the old school way. I don't run the Freedom mission often at all but that seems anecdotally to be less popular. Does it add anything much to gameplay and/or Lore, especially in light of Homecoming having overall control of the game's direction and development. Certainly there are a lot of people who enjoyed starting in Galaxy, and it was a blow to a lot of players when it was consigned to history. Perhaps it's time for the Paragon City governors to restore it to its former glory. That's not without precedence as we know from Faultline and many other places that have had rebuilding work undertaken. It would be an ideal space for new heroes to prove their mettle and make sure that the bad guys were driven out of Galaxy for good. There's another point; Galaxy Girl. She was a human once, and sacrificed herself to save our city.* It's rare that any city government would allow such a monument to be destroyed and not be reforged. It's one of those things that is as true in real life as in fiction - we celebrate our iconic heroes and there would be strenuous efforts made by any self-respecting city officials to ensure their fallen heroes are honoured. It could in fact become a serious mission arc: Reclaiming and rebuilding Galaxy City and ensuring it becomes safe once more. This isn't so much a suggestion, more of a wish, an appeal. I have no clue what our devs have in store, but it is surely time we got Galaxy back!

I guess because I have that perceptive hangover back from live? I'm not a great one for playing the market

that's... not the word I'd use to describe @Snarky

I've tried it, with little success. I seem to have an algorithm which works like this: Junk+Converter = more junk

It's usually known as "Idungoto University"

welcome back. Enjoy Have many funs!

let me be the first to say "DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!" Also if your mask was absorbed would your face get more HP?

Have you tried the "S" key? 🤣

What about the option to visit a Hero Corpse rep and say "I want to play at level XX and not earn XP" and hey presto, you get to be at XX until you go visit them again?

now this is an idea I can definitely get behind; alternate builds that you can run through and level or even just stop... so when you want to play at a certain level you turn XP off on build 2 and swap to it when you want to be 3X or whatever. Excellent idea. Moar of this please!
