Why don't you ask the devs for an "I WIN!" button too, while you're at it?

When they see the same builds are soloing content made for teams of 8, they can easily look at where that power level comes from.

It won't be long now before the gimps,RPers, and costume horses are gonna start complaining and try to get the Devs to force those dirty powergamers to invite them back to teams, and I'm gonna sit back and laugh.

Then if that film makes money the second and/or third movies could tackle the modern era Freedom Phalanx in the Rikti War with Hero 1, or the war on Drugs/Superadine (plus Superadine link to alternate realities leading to Dr Webb’s expedition and the Reichsman invasion as climax), or the Praetorians, or anything else that would prove too expensive and too big for the debut/origin movie.

Alas, even with Fearsome Stare, I cannot terrorize everything. I'm certain I spent more time mezzed than not in the last LGTF I was on. I really don't know how I manage to gain the ire of so many things.

I'm sure no one here needs examples, but to name a few there's Super Mario Bros, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, Alone in the Dark, Wing Commander and Double Dragon. None of which were anything at all like the game they were intended to replicate.

Ms. Liberty would probably turn into some drama queen teen fussing over boys in Steel Canyon high. Statesman would turn into the overbearing father figure, despite being her grandfather, Synapse would be the fast-talking comic relief and Sister Psyche would be the damsel in distress. At least Back Alley Brawler wouldn't change much!

Toss in Hamidon and a few token Hellions, Freakshow, Council and Arachnos goons and mix well with a sprinkle of sugar. Leave in the oven to bake for ninety minutes and serve to an audience of young children who have never even heard of the game.

More importantly, though, I enjoy reading the comments that come with it Sure, sometimes they bug me, but at the very basis of it, they are a control mechanism which gives me feedback for my actions, and anything is easier to do when you get feedback from it.

Point it out all you want AGAIN, server populations have gone down. It doesn't take a jeenyus to see that, and only the very obtuse or naive would think levels are the same over the long haul. Sure the game is instanced based- it always has been- but crowds under Atlas have always been there, but smaller now. Crowds in the average WW were always there, but smaller now. Chatter in broadcast used to be very annoying, and constant, and it still is, but....it's smaller now. Is the game dying? Of course it is, it's what, 5 years old now? Is it dead? Not until NC says so, and obviously they sit fit to release another expansion.

It's great that some old timers have a tight circle that they can count on for good times. That doesn't help the new guy. Neither do posts like this. Some people have been here so long the sense of entitlement is overwhelming, and apparently the entitlement covers opinions over others' as well.

Union Hero RMT swearwording obvious.
Not hidden
Level50 Science Controller Gibberish name
Early hours(UK) when I often play 40 ish people not hidden 36 all 50science controller.

Effect on me before i16= removed an origin/archetype choice from game also removed Fire/Kin, functioned like an auto ignore on search.

After i16 my rubbish computer struggles with lots of fire imps, now I actively avoid portal corp. and only tend hop through ouro.

Reported all 36 alt names before i16 as worth checking while not expecting to be told of progress did expect progress.

These chaps are acting with such impunity its embarrassing they don't hide one even has a keystroke guide as his search comment.

Making me sad and a bit cross
