Ad Astra

Pre-grats, Ironik!

To circle back to what many have repeatedly tried to point out - so now my Mutant Blaster, made over six years ago, no longer understands how far from enemies she needs to stand to avoid aggro? She draws more aggro than my Magic Fire Tank, made the same day?

If these issues were something I needed to take into account at character creation, I probably would have made different choices. To ask me to deal with these unintended consequences now, 6+ years later, is not something I want.

Agree with Aett.

Also - it's an opinion that the game is boring without teaming. Plenty of players do not find soloing boring. And whether you (catbert) find the game boring when soloing, it does not change the fact that every current AT & powerset combination can solo, so making some gimp thing that absolutely must team in order to make any progress whatsoever won't work.

Days like today - stuck at home because my car and the street are covered in a sheet of ice - I have difficulty in even thinking about global warming.

To update - I have Tina Beretta, FF/DP defender, and Winter Shock, Elec/Cold Controller, in range for Posi et al.

Alternatively, if for some reason damage is needed, I have a half dozen blasters I could switch to instead, possibly even a scrapper in there somewhere.

Tina & Winter are lowbies, so I would prefer one of them, especially since I am building Tina as a Team-oriented character.

This would be a problem for me as well.

Plus, although in theory prestige can be re-earned - it would not be a workable idea for me and my small SGs, unless costs for building are extremely miniscule. With just 2 active players, it would take us a very long time to get back to the level of building cash we have now.

I can rebuild my bases - but I can't re-earn prestige. So my agreement to the concept is based on me not losing anything (stuff in storage and base-building "cash" whatever it is called). I guess that's half-hearted support.

I have 4 moderately complex bases on 4 different servers, plus another built by my sister on a fifth server. I have enjoyed building them and figuring out ways to make a visual impression that is fittingly heroic, or mystical, or whatever.

That being said, as long as I was reimbursed with the equivalent "currency" that would allow me to start over and build again - sure, I'm not that attached to them and it would give me the new challenge of building again. I have pictures of what I have now for the memories.

I am in the situation of having small 2 person SGs (just my sister and I) as actve players, also using alts from my husband's account to pad - plus lots of assistance from my fellow base builders during the infamous prestige grant back in 2007(?). That's what gave me the funds to build my current bases - I would not be able to start over without getting that back. I would be very sad in that case, and I would likely not rebuild if I have to start from "zero" in whatever point system might be used for a new base builder tool.

edit to add - I have zero interest in base raids or anything that would create a need for large "raiding" SGs or prestige bots. Just give me enough stuff to play with, and I'm fine with making new bases.

No, there is not.

I have seen threads here where someone switched sides but then could not get new contacts/story arcs because they left open arcs back on the other side. AFAIK, they had to go back to finish them out (switching back).

I agree. In fact a couple of back-to-back lowbie TFs would be outstanding!

I thought that was BillZBubba? j/k
