I noticed the SG subforum disappeared. How do I find one now!?

....it's so lonely

For controllers, a magic set of control powers and so on.

We have the ATs, but nothing that is really magical in nature. No idea what these would look like, maybe it involves animations, that have hexes and so on is an alternative, but we definitely need something magical in nature.

Sure maybe should have paid more attention. Haven't even begun any winter lord stuff....probably wont either, didn't really enjoy it much last year and it has nothing i want, need, nor make my char advantageous in anyway during normal game time play.
I hope I dont lose any of the things i was in the middle of purchasing and slotting nor the alt billions I put in my email (yes now its an issue) to use this afternoon to build my incarnate.

Consider how much time you've already spent and the value of what you have now. With only a few 50s, your altitis has prevented you from even seeing most of them to the end game where they have the most flexibility.

Consider how often you play each of the characters. If you're in the range of 20-100 characters, I'm not sure how you can dedicate that much time.

Consider how much value you get when you play the characters. Are there some characters that are great in a pinch, like a Kin, a melee with Granite Armor, a buffer or debuffer that is considered valuable? If so, maybe consider keeping them. Are there others that you rarely team with? Are there some that you just don't enjoy very much? If so, those are good candidates for the trash can.

Consider how much effort you would have to put in to make all of those characters full incarnates (10 levels that require non-tradeable (assumption) rewards, of which only 1 is available)

Consider what would happen to all of your time and effort if the game was to go offline and never return... There is only a finite time a game can exist. Before I ever played an MMO, I had several friends that invested 5 years in Everquest only to have it replaced. All that time and effort was gone.

Here's an experiment. Make a spreadsheet or list of all your characters. Triage and find, say, the 10 least played or least liked characters. Transfer anything of value away from them. Delete them. Wait a week and see if you miss them. Delete more. Rinse and repeat. You might regret it a year later, but I doubt it. Instead you might begin to feel the unbearable lightness of being with fewer alts. In fact, maybe you should advertise on a thread all the available names you created on the servers of the characters you deleted. That makes it potentially even more final

As you may have noticed, this most recent issue has caused some people considerable, self-imposed distress. They are: rushing to get to 50, respeccing their builds for inherent fitness, trying to max on respecs to empty out IOs, making 3rd builds, getting new badges, and they are getting incarnate content on each character. That's a ton of work combined. 1, there's no hurry, but more importantly 2, there's no need. There are plenty of players still around. Team with them instead of making your own personal army.

I had over a dozen 50s. I liked to have at least one of every AT and tried at one point to have one of every tank and controller before CoV. I enjoyed each character on several levels. I liked their costumes, names, powersets. Nevertheless, I feel much better since I deleted most of my 50s and a lot below L50. I still have about 6 and about 10 other characters, many of which I rarely play. Sometimes I use them as WW market storage, but otherwise they're not doing much. I plan on deleting even more in the coming months, because I know I won't do the incarnate content with them and rarely play them now as it is.

With 3 builds, new incarnate opportunities, and changes in my life in the last 3 years, I find I cannot devote that kind of time to playing. Actually, that's a good thing for the most part.

Freedom is letting go. Good luck.

You know what? Screw all of that, if Mr. Minion is bleeding, shaking and trying to shoot me through the haze of blood loss and dizziness, I'm going to Knockout Blow his **** through the ceiling. Why?

BECAUSE IT LOOKS AWESOME.

Now, I'm not going to go into the possible confusion that could derive It just strikes me as highly unlikely that somebody who would take the time to download and utilize MIDS would not also be aware of ParagonWiki or it's entry on attack mechanics: http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Attack_Mechanics

From my point of view, if we, as the player base, can figure out where you got the idea to begin with, then perhaps steps can be taken to ensure that no other players make the same error:

• Was it something in the Wiki that is mistyped?
• Was it confusion in the MIDS user-interface?
• Was it something that is said in the patch notes?
• Was it something that somebody posted in the forums?
• Was it perceived behavior from how you feel like you are hitting in the game?
• Was it something somebody said in game?

Again, determining where the idea came from to begin with can help other players not make the same error.
