Player2

The names Giant Monster Slayer and Tempest Hammer are available if anyone wants it.

Is it hot jazz?

That's a good idea for things that that would have to be emailed individually, such as recipes, enhancements, and salvage. But just nothing but influence moving around is fine to email it. Just throw it all in an email Log out Log in the next character Claim influence from email Then email the new combined total back to myself again Repeat as necessary until all characters have been logged in and robbed

Why do they keep changing?? Where's the TV? Where's the satellite? Where are all the others that were newly introduced? Why is there a shark and a radio and a saxophone now? Why do we need a love letter when we have the heart for "Like"? More importantly, why is there still no lightning bolt to show when we find something shocking?!?

I moved a majority of my characters from Torchbearer over to Excelsior awhile back, and the ones that got left behind ( 😟 ) are those that I didn't want to change the names of because they weren't available on Excelsior. Usually when I need money, I just do a little farming, but today I decided to go back and rob all my alts still on Torch... any influence in excess of a million, and good salvage or recipes... Sold everything off and kept collecting and emailing back to myself in greater amounts until I came up with a grand total of:

The dark/storm corruptor is hella fun. The ice/ice brute is my farmer. I find ice crops last longer getting to market than fire does... but not much longer in this summer heat.

I've recently started tracking my influence as well as other details. With over 300 characters, I've occasionally lost track of where I've left large sums and had to go logging in every character until I find it.

Storm Armor for tanks, scrappers, and brutes. Start with basic all around auto resistance like High Pain Tolerance from Willpower, borrow and tweak several powers from Storm Summoning, and then fill in the gaps. 1. High Pain Tolerance (Willpower) 2. Steamy Mist (Storm Summoning, but maybe add in some resistance to physical damage to bring the set on par with others' basic protection) 3. O2 Drain (Storm Summoning, like O2 Boost but is a self-heal that also damages those in close proximity via partial suffocation as you pull the air from their lungs) 4. Stormy Disposition - mez protection, maybe some psi Defense to make up for lack of damage mitigation overall 5. Downdraft (Storm Summoning, like Hurricane but with knockdown instead of knockback... and no repel) 6. Blizzard (Storm Summoning, like Snowstorm but centered on user but also inflicts a -ToHit penalty on those affected and grants added resistance to cold and fire) 7. ??? 8. Thunderclap (Storm Summoning) 9. Thunderstorm (Storm Summoning, like Lightning Storm but instead of summoning an immobile pet you transform into the storm cloud and gain phasing for 30 seconds. It's an oh shit button that protects you from damage briefly but lets you still deal damage to random targets by shooting lightning bolts at whatever's close)

That's a good mix of armor pieces to achieve that body armor.

As a player of a human-form-only peacebringer, I'm not sure I like the proposed changes as it would turn my semi-blastery hero (who does not identify as a peacebringer) into a controller. If I want a controller, I'd just play a controller and actually get pets to go with it. Stop trying to reinvent the wheel. If you can do something new for the ATs that also maintains balance without dramatically changing how any given kheldian playstyle works... great. If not, propose it as a new AT so I don't have to abandon a character that I actually like playing as it is right now.

I would be happy if they found a way to not disable eye auras on headless characters. Yeah, know you can work around it... but why do they need to be disabled at all?

Yes, I know I'm early for the holidays... But these are the kind of suggestions that get lost DURING the event because it's the holidays and no one is interested in doing any developing then.

New Badge Idea Day Job location: Winter Forest Badge name: Santa's Helper (hero) / Krampus Aide (villain) Benefit: Something along the lines of a timed bonus to your chances of finding candy cane drops in missions, opening presents, etc. (only works during the Winter Event when candy canes actually drop), or perhaps a discount on how many candy canes are spent with the elf in the ski lodge (which could work all year round if your day job timer is active). Badge graphic: A simple holiday tree for heroes and maybe a Krampus face or broken candy cane for villains.

Just playing around with names to see what's still available and I found the following two and made hero and villain opponents: Representing truth, justice, and all American idealism at its finest: Likeable Staff Fighting / Willpower Scrapper And in the red corner... Unlikeable Martial Arts / Bio Armor Stalker And in case anyone is interested, the words likeable and unlikeable can also be spelled as Likable or Unlikable without the e in the middle... Both of which are currently available on Excelsior... possibly on other shards, as well.

That is fantastic!

Nice references all around.

Awfully forward of you to treat people like peers...

Sneaky Freaks are trying to blend in with "normal" lettered names.

I think half of the detectives should be inside police precincts... and the other half should be outside and away from police precinct, anywhere from right next to the police van to conceivably any location where they could be investigating a crime. But more important than their locations, I think we should be able to call detectives like any other contact. Seriously, why don't they have cell phones? And especially the ones in the police precincts where they have land lines, why can't we call them?? Is the time sink of making us travel to the contact in person REALLY important anymore now that this isn't a subscription-based game?

I think you're reading too much into that. It was just a question, not an insistence. Maybe you shouldn't be the one to tell others how they should ask questions.

I get that. Some people are stubborn. But there's always room to make a little sense, or else we never would have gotten the shining star of Invulnerability to be dimmed and even turned off back on Live because there was no logical reason why being invulnerable meant you had to glow.

Be the change you want to see. What worthwhile AE arcs are there? Make some.

Replacing a trainer doesn't take much time or effort. Again, I will cite the example of Castle being moved away from P.I.

Other badge markers don't need that kind of direct stare.

I'm just talking about this statue right now with it's super creepy gaze right into what looks like an apartment building. I think this statue should be rotated clockwise a bit until it's facing the street.
