Judging by his examples, I think he means a series of ambushes.

He had it coming,
He had it coming,
He only had himself to blame!
If you had been there,
If you had seen it,
I'm sure you would have done the same!

Let's be honest here - at least one third of recipes, and I'm probably being generous, is worthless to the players and pretty much cannot be given away on the market, with pre-SO-level recipes getting the shortest end of the stick in the whole deal.

Thus, I propose the ability to use the invention table to consume a number of recipes of same rarity {i.e. uncommon or rare} into another, random recipe. That might help bridge the cost gap between the "wants" and "no not wants" recipes, as unwanted recipes would get an increase in demand, if nothing else then at least as lottery material, while the wanted recipes would increase in supply from being created by the heaps of unwanted recipes.

An additional possibility might be creating a random rare recipe from a certain number of uncommon recipes - the exact number subject to balancing, but presumably in the ballpark of [total number of available uncommon frecipes]/[total number of available rare recipes]

Several caveats;
Store-buyable recipes are obviously exempt from any kind of combining due to their infinite supply.
The level of the received recipe is based on the lowest-level component recipe. Thus, using a Lv10, Lv30 and Lv50 recipe will result in a random Lv10 recipe.

I pretty much thought of this at work so I make no claims of its usability, but offhand, I can't think of any game-breaking faults with it. Any thoughts?

Short answer, no.

Longer answer, still no. Procs have a set effectiveness that's independent of other enhancements or archetypes. Damage procs will deal increased damage as you gain levels, but endurance and health procs will always grant same results {health, in this case, scaling to a portion of your maximum HP}.

Nope, PvP still have their respective entrance requirements.

Hey there, and welcome to Paragon. Since it doesn't seem to have been mentioned, the game has a server-wide help channel, where players can ask about any sort of game-related stuff. You can talk in it with the /hc command - there should be a tab named "Help" in your chat window by default.

1} As it has already been mentioned, click "Menu", and select "Chat Handle". You can only do this once, theoretically. However, on a few occasions when global servers got borked, players received another global rename token.

2} Heroside, you can go to Peregrine via the Vanguard DPO {V icon on your map} - simply go through the portal, then turn around and go through it again. The direct route to the Firebase Zulu is a bit risky, but you can detour through the relative safety of the water and climb to Portal Court once you're close enough. As for the starter money, I would recommend Architect Entertainment. Finding a good arc to play is a bit of a hit and miss, but on the whole, you can redeem AE tickets for salvage at a pretty good rate, and cash that salvage in on the market - earnings from a few missions can easily set you up with enough influence to cover regular enhancement cost well into the Lv20-30 range.

3} Yes and no. All mission arcs and badge missions are available through Ouroboros, which you can access at Lv25. However, most contacts also have a fair share of "padding" missions, some of which grant temporary powers, which cannot be accessed once you've outleveled them. If you want, you can control your leveling progress via the "Earn XP/No XP" setting in Menu/Options.

4} & 5} have been answered better than I could.

Again, welcome to Paragon City. If you need some help in-game, you can contact me at @Quinch.

The price was a fixed -gets tackled by a ninja-, the base rate for a full shot + background.

On the whole, I'd buy one too, but I don't see the offer happening. Lifetime subscriptions are for the early stages, when the company needs to quickly raise some cash to offset the development costs, but it's a mid-to-long-term loss compared to the subscription model.

Well, we all get a power at Lv2 which caps your recovery and regeneration.

Of course, its recharge is murder.

Failing that, I could also get behind increased effectiveness of endred enhancements. Remember, the best you can do with any amount of enhancing is to halve the cost.

Ditto; extra points for hosporting to my personal base for inter-zone travel.
