Do your DP in Galaxy, you will have more fun.
The only time I ever go to Galaxy City is to pay base rent or for the cape talk to mission. Most times I forget it even exists.

They should have thrown WW or AE in Galaxy and removed that one from Atlas just to spread the love.


Who do I have to *&^% around here to get more Targeted AoE recipes added?

Seems server related.
I haven't run into this in Atlas, but I'm not on Freedom.

Why ?

You like Atlas, others of us do not, pretty much for the same reasons.

Why force us together ?

My problem with Atlas today has been lag caused by the number of trench coats.

I made the Atlas Wentworth's my default marketeering HQ just for the people watching.
I have a friend who says the same. Me, I make it my zone to avoid specifically for the people AVOIDING.

Agreed. I'm always finding reasons to go through Atlas Park, even with my highest level characters, just to soak up the community feeling. Stopping to watch a costume contest is one of my favorite things to do.

Running into other people is an occupational hazard of the genre.

Unfortunately, it is. But the game is too good to let the fact that it has other people in it ruin it for me. I just need to know how to avoid them

Oh so that's what the broadcast chattering in Atlas was about, people being unable to farm their arses off like they used to.

Sheesh, and here i thought they were blathering on about something important.

This won't be a problem for me as I'll be (a) in Mercy and (b) playing off-peak

GC starter here. Basically have done so except for my first couple of characters.
Me too.

And that's largely why.

(of course I don't set foot in the Hollows, either)


Suggestions:
Super Packs Done Right
Influence Sink: IO Level Mod/Recrafting
Random Merit Rolls: Scale cost by Toon Level

what ever kills farming is kool with me (minus farming for badges).
...let people lvl up the toon normally.

Oh noes! We can't farm any more?! DOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!

(Disclaimer: the beginning of this post was completely in jest, tongue planted firmly in cheek)

So people are loudly proclaiming that it's unfair that the devs removed their ability to basically cheat at the game? Which is what an exploit technically is.

That's like complaining that you got kicked out of a casino for having a pocketful of aces at the blackjack table.

In other words...completely ludicrous.

Put the Galaxy Girl statue behind the City Hall, and the Freedom Corps HQ would either be made into an underground place under City Hall, or put close beside it, possibly in the car park between City Hall and the station.
Make the whole zone slightly larger, and fil u+out the extra bits with any unique buildings from either zone.
Me and the rest of the Galaxy girl statue RPers say; How about no.

This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

screw atlas altogether, start on redside, that way you don't see AE spam until Cap D, and even then it's not nearly as bad. And Swell's right, pie is to be had.

That doesn't work for those of us who play both sides, though.

QFT. Atlas every time.

Disclaimer: Unless I'm going with some sort of dark loner character who prefers to be in a badly-lit, brick-filled pollution setting. Then it works. Just about.

You're just confused, or lying for the attention.

Well, I start my villains in Mercy, but I can't really start my heroes there, so that IS kind of confusing.

Heck with AE. AE is supposed to be a creative outlet and a place to experience others creativity while still getting some exp.

I haven't levelled a new Hero in a long time, and doing sewer runs for 20 levels on beta(supersidekicking as necessary) was some of the most fun I've had in a while. Simplisitc pew pew fun.
