... so ignore them. *shrug*

Heck, I had some old single-digit-level characters get the portal when Ouro was introduced because they had the first and second year badges - thus the 5th gladiator, which "counted" as being exposed to time travel.

Absolutely not.

Just look at PVP IOs right now as for why. There's a hard cap for programming reasons of 2 billion. Yet they can sell for more than that... and do.

You put a cap of 1000 up for common salvage, when I've been making 25-40,000 or more selling them? Where do you think I'll sell them? (OK, I *personally* won't care, but if people want that kind of profit, it'll go off-market.)

About the only thing I'd want to see change is a nice, simple "Send to vendor" button - if something hasn't sold in X period of time (2 weeks, 30 days, whatever) - like, say, that Calibrated Accuracy Acc/Range you put up for some reason - you can just hit a button and "sell" it to a vendor for vendor price. Yes, people will sell accidentally now. No, there shouldn't be a "Create item I want to buy" button.

I can kind-of-sort-of see the (from NPC perspective) logic of not being "rescued" with a decoy phantasm around. Yes, gameplay wise it's annoying, but I can "get" the NPC going "But that guy's still there!"

What gets ME, though, are hostages that refuse to be rescued until *caltrops* go away. That's just irritating.

There is a discount for multiple months at a time, though.

Only 50 I haven't soloed him on (other than the one I just finished tonight... who, since it's a mastermind, is going to be absolutely trivial to do) is my Plant/Thorn dom - and that's solely because I had friends on who also needed to run the arc. I've soloed him on everything else - even characters only on SOs.

Hmmmmmm.

276 alts. I play a lot of things. I don't really have "a build" I like. There are some sets that'll be a "go-to" for me, though.

For tanks, if I want to try out an armor set, it'll very likely go with Super Strength. Similarly, if I want to try an attack set, it'll probably get paired with Fire. Yes, I do have a Fire/SS.

Control-wise, Mind or Plant, quite frequently, with Earth or Ice afterward. Doesn't matter much if it's a controller or dominator. Can't stand Illusion... but I'm doing the same thing with Illusion that I did when I wasn't that fond of Masterminds and pairing it with other things. Ill/TA is, to me, bearable. It's still my absolute last choice for a controller, though (and I hope it's never a dom set, at least without massive revision.)

I'll take any flavor of Kheld. VEATs, only ones I seem to have the slightest fun with are Crabs or Huntsman builds.

And MMs... thugs. I seem to have a fair number of thugs. Or if I'm trying out a primary, I'll probably pair it with Poison.

One that will eventually make it here if I don't say it.

"Nemesis is definitely down with the street. Word up, my homey, as it were."

People have come up with "something better" multiple times, dealing with zone remakes, full zones, full sets of zones and the like.

Have tried other MMOs. Have only stayed here.

I play both sides. *shrug* We have a ton of slots. Use 'em.

Depends on AT and powerset (and the character itself.)

Herostats. Free.

Disappointment, perhaps, that it's YAF* instead of "An arc," that it's taking the tools given to create stories, to expand the world on our own, to let creativity flourish and be celebrated and using them, instead, for another farm. Exploitive or not, it's... disappointing that this seems to be all that people want to use it for.

And, of course, it's one MORE farm sitting in there for the people who want actual arcs and stories to try to sift out.

If that's your thing, well... *shrug* but why not do something creative? Push your own boundaries, throw in some interesting mechanic, create a challenge, whip up some surprises?

*YAF = Yet Another Farm.

I tend to suspect that it's gone through "cycles" of darkening. Which of course would make for interesting backstory and arcs and such to go through. Which means it'll probably be tied to the overflow of the Well and Recluse's earwax problem instead.

If Invoke Panic were ranged instead of a PBAOE, it might be worth (nearly) that rating... as it is, it really is pretty worthless.

And Rescusitate (and stimulant) - *never* assume the person who needs the help has inspirations. I know my squishies, at times, have had "two of everything" partway through a mission and gotten killed mid-fight. A quick rez (or, for that matter, a stimulant to keep me from getting slept/held/etc in the first place) would have been very useful.
