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!

Level drain: The most terrifying thing you can do to a table-top player!

sending good thoughts and best wishes

One thing I've not really highlighted in this - and it's a serious question - is what stuff should we keep, what should we recycle? I mean obviously with salvage that's relatively simple - keep the orange stuff, some yellow and very few whites but hoard lucky charms but what about recipes? Do we make them to convert them or just... my head splodes just thinking about it.

I understand this - but I would advise trying it on different toons initially. You're setting yourself a seriously big, complex task and you'll literally need spread sheets and stuff to keep track That's why this works. That said, there's no harm in setting yourself a near impossible challenge, so go for it but don't expect to ace it on one fell swoop. If I were fool/crazy/obsessive/dedicated enough I'd do each significant arc on a new character, and track progress with spreadsheets etc. Then I'd work out where I needed to make it all join in one and... but no, that's not for me. I admire your dedication. Good luck!

you can be lower, just exemp down with a buddy. Incarnate system is entirely skippable if you want to. You don't need to partake - though I suggest you're missing out on some excellent content if you don't. You can also get to 50 and roll a new toon from level 1 if being big is too much of an issue. We have time-travel options, in Ouroboros where you can travel back in time to allllllllllllll the content at appropriate levels. You have many many options. Best of luck to you 👍

I just want some "pot lights" - perhaps they illuminate your high! But yes some plaques are very very hard to spot

Better idea: Throw all the crap we don't want or need into the community pillars across the city and let toons between 1-10 pick it up. I know it'll be abused but the abusers won't get much of real value and some young toons might get a boost, especially if Ms Lib and the Arbiter tell them to go look

I regularly purge my white salvage at vendors. I'll keep the odd stuff like luck charms because they can be silly. I'll often vend yellow salvage too. I do the same with common insps frequently or just mash them into something vaguely useful. The issue is not with stuff that's readily vendable but the stuff you can't junk easily. I don't even need to make a profit, I'll accept a loss - but the idea of crafting something and spending maybe a million on salvage and/or recipe then scrapping it just grates a bit. And then there's stuff that cannot be sold so what then?

Reading this thread made me lose mine!

I like this idea, but sadly it doesn't solve the issue of having some salvage that is essentially unusable past a certain point. Also I don't think some salvage is transferable, so we're stuck with it. A further idea is we re-energize the Base Workbench tables and can throw everything in there to be recycled - you get one Brainstorm Idea per level of the item recycled.

To be clear, I'm not advocating to store recipes and if the AH were available in base it would be a disaster for the MP. Either situation would result in a huge market imbalance and there would be players literally logging in and playing the market from their base without ever actually doing the game. It would turn the game into a rigged stock market game and that would effectively destroy City of Heroes and turn it into "Spandex Stock Brokers" I don't think that's what many of us want. What I would like to see is a way to recycle stuff. I use some Crafted IOs (there doesn't seem to be a useful term for them) - often I get my first at the University - and that sustains me for many levels. But once done it's junk. I'd like to make it useful somehow and I can't sell it on MP. It's not givable away because that's not a thing. So let's find a way to recycle into the community if not the character. Everything that gets recycled reduces cost of everything in the MP by 0.01% per leve x rarity. OR something I recycle a thing, everyone benefits
