Scarlet Shocker

I nominate everyone who's had a hand in keeping this game alive. If you're reading this, I include you, because it was the fans, ultimately, that gave everyone the legs to get us where we are today. Sincerely, thank you all for making our game a great place to be!

We've been playing today with the Steady Indom crew, and it's a lot of fun. We've moved from Redside to First Ward eviscerating everything in our path. Having a boatload of fun. Looking forward to next week 🙂

... said the man who loves escort missions! 🤣

I had calculated it once on live but that's clearly very out of date. But yes, it's quite a large number. If I guestimate that it takes a player 50 hours to get to 50 on average (without AE & DXP silliness) that's well over 13 years playing continuously. In other words, most people will never play every power set combo in every AT in a few lifetimes. Conclusion: The number of 50s that is too many is the number that you decided you have enough of, plus one!

Fixed it for you

The number of possible permutations of each AT + 1

Presumably managed by the Database Controller, and devised by a Database Mastermind! Ok, I now want a Database power set

Super heartening to know that some of the devs love to play even now! That's great. Welcome home BAB!!

Curses, foiled again!

I actually think that's kind of amusing. It did no harm but it's kinda locker room 🙂 Reminds me of the story one of England's most famous cricket commentator tells. He goes around the globe commentating on international matches and at every venue there's an enveloped delivered to him, inside which there is a single sheet of soiled and used toilet paper. For my part I've bollixed up more than a few Mo runs on various TFs, and sometimes all you can do is say "sorry gang, dropped the ball there" or somesuch. Nobody's ever chastised me for it and I've usually offered the opportunity to restart but nobody ever has I don't recall. Again I'm left thinking if the team knows what is required from the off, and they are willing to carry somebody relatively inexperienced (which I wholeheartedly think they should) then give it a go. It's going to teach players new skills, be fun and everyone wins.

Slot for +Acc. You won't miss it then!

Not signalling Snarky out here by any stretch of the imagination - but I sometimes do sense there's a certain "elitism" amongst some of the veteran players. "I've been playing since Issue 0.00000001 and I know everything and you're doing it wrong." (Yes there is some exaggeration there for illustrative purposes) Not everyone is a) that experienced b) knowledgeable and c) competent. Does that mean they shouldn't be able to attempt some of the harder content? It's a sad day when the community as a whole decides that only certain players or people of certain abilities get to play specific missions. It's a game, it's entertainment and it doesn't matter if you fail gloriously so long as you had fun in the failing. If you didn't have fun until that point, are you taking it a bit too seriously? Life's too short to stress about something that's ultimately a bit of a hobby. Fail, fail again, learn from those failures, and enjoy teaching others how to avoid failing next time. Push boundaries and bring folk along with you!

I'm sure anyone who believes this story is probably quite... gullible

good job!

A chicken and an egg are laying in bed smoking post-coital cigarettes. The egg turns to the chicken and said "Well that answers the age old question!" Just noting this is an easter joke, ok? don't shoot me!

I meant to say at the top of the post, one of the reasons I was originally inspired to get this running was to take on @DougGraves challenge to play a Fortunata - something I'd not done I must say I had a blast. I think it's the first time in almost 17 years playing this game I experienced "scrapperlock" and she certainly seems amazingly robust and fun to play thus far so I'm gonna give Doug a 👍 for that too!

Tries to read wall of text early in morning. Skims it. Looks at date

What the dickens are you trying to quote here?

Redside run was a ton of fun! Truthfully haven't had that much fun in game in a very long time. Will be running more next weekend too

Not sure anyone would expect to be carried, but it's worthwhile explaining how far the bloody walk across the desert is before you start!

The caveat to that is that not everyone is as experienced as we might expect and knows that an Mo or other advanced run is. So they might join without even knowing what questions to ask. A good team lead will take a moment to ask if everyone knows what the mission they are running requires - explain things that shoudln't happen (ie player defeats) and then let the player ask any questions before forming a judgement as to the viability of the run. We've seen throughout the game's history new players discover it and that can be disheartening for them when they feel they are blamed when they had no knowledge of what was required.

egg & cress or sausage? OP I believe from memory early iterations of Tyrant before his story was fleshed out in GR - in some of his missions where he appeared he had a throne But given how difficult it is to position yourself on such furnishing, it's almost irrelevant
