    I really like this conceptualization!

    Especially since I usually play Natural origin characters.

    Very nice! I hope to see it finished.
  4. Bravo LockOn, you've managed to express beautifully what I've long thought to be our best bet for improving the base editor.
  5. Welcome back Bill. My condolences on your loss.

    Seriously though, congratulations to Melissa and Nate.
  7. My 2 ยข,

    As someone who got 3 copies of the CE edition of EBay before finally getting one that with an unused activation code; I wholeheartedly support putting the CE items on the market (either singly or as a package) or the paragon rewards table.

    Its been years since anyone could buy access to these items outside secondary markets. I say they've had their exclusivity. The Power Slide and Cape of Four Winds both deserve wider use than they currently get.

    I see what you did there

    Only 5 to go!
  11. With the demise of Statesman in SSA 5, we all know the Devs are going to have to shuffle some contacts around to replace him.

    Positron has already said they are playing a player contest to fill Statesman's slot in the Freedom Phalanx, but someone need to take over the Statesman Task Force.

    I think the obvious choice here is Ms. Liberty as Marcus Cole's heir.

    This leaves Atlas Park in need of a new trainer. I'd love to see Coyote promoted to that spot, since he doesn't get to help newbies in the tutorial anymore.

    Back Alley Brawler is a contender for either of the above roles, but I'd personally rather see BABs get a new TF or such.

    So what do the rest of you think?

    This is now working properly on Beta. Also the art on the Pocket D beacon is fixed. Reportedly so is the art on Granville, but I can't say firsthand for that one.

  14. What side do you pick more than others? Heroes
    What play style do you prefer? I tend to prefer damage dealers - blasters, scrappers, brutes.
    What power set(s) do you favor? I don't have a preferred power set, I pick what fits the character's concept.
    What zones do you like the most?
    Do you usually play as a male or female (word of hatred) ''toon''? Split about fifty-fifty, slightly favoring male characters.
    Views on Role Playing? I'm an old school tabletop gamer so all my characters have concepts and back stories (which I'm not always good about writting down). In game I usually have a catch phrase or two and will tend to speak in my characters voice.
    Servers? Champion for heroes/vigilantes, Protector for villains/rogues.

I *assume* there's no change(s) in appearance between the two, but I'd like confirmation, all the same.

    Here's the Basic Teleporter and the Hacked Teleporter side-by-side.


    I didn't take a screen shot, but the Arcane teleporters are also identical in appearance.
  16. Just tested last night and the arcane beacon for Echo: Galaxy City is now working properly. Somebody's been busy.
  17. A Miracle of Science
    This one is a completed story, so no new updates.

    EDIT: This one is an ongoing space epic: Spacetrawler.
  18. Huzzah, with the holidays gone I have some Sundays free again. Count me in.

    for next year, what are the tricks to getting better/faster runs? I thought a Kin hitting me with Speed boost would do it, but it only shaved a fraction of a second off my final score (49.88) on the toboggan course... the record is under 41 seconds
    Inertial Reduction helped me when I was chasing the badges.

    Hey folks, just wanted to thank you for all of your advice. CRlMSON CRUSADER leveled to 39 over the course of 48 hours. That translates into $190.00 in pledges to Real World Hero.

    PL me!!!!!!!

    So despite being a seven year vet (hey Paragon where's my badge!), I'm really bad a power-leveling. What can I say - I play casually, I like running story arcs, and generally just meander my way to 50.

    Thing is, this weekend I'm participating in the Real World Hero level-a-thon. And I need to earn as many levels as I can in 48 hours. I know Death from Below has good rewards and the WST will give bonus XP the first time I run it.

    What are some other tips for leveling fast?
