    I remember a very vague Dev warning about Heroes who rely too heavily on Hamidon influence in thier powers possibly encountering "problems".
    Never knew quite what it meant. But not able to play in the magic hours when server raids happened, it wouldn't apply to me anyway.

    Not what I got out of it.
    I saw: Don't be so sure of humanity's immortality. Without us, our "stuff" would (eventually) disappear too.

    If you haven't already, you should watch the History Channel series "Life After People". It assumes a "what if" of humans just disappearing and each episode focuses on one aspect of what would happen over weeks, months, years and decades afterwards. How long it would take different things to spoil, rust, collapse and eventually disappear without a trace.

    I'm sure that you would love it.

    Nope.
  10. The scientists who designed the War Walls, the buildings that stay standing when knocked 30 degrees off of center with holes in them (Boomtown, I'm looking at you!) and the automobiles that run forever in a city without gas stations also designed a VERY common, but seldom mentioned gadget.
    The Electro-Static Privacy Enabler. It creates a very small energy field that mutes voices so that pesky superheroes (and villains) cannot eavesdrop through the doors of a building. It has a very thin black sheen to it, which is why doorways look like that to you.

    Apparently, it has the side effect of not working well with alarm systems, which must be why you can enter a Council or Crey base without being swarmed by guards at the very get-go.

    That is why doorways are black in Paragon City.

  12. We need more Temp Powers that make thier victim explode.
  13. I, on the other hand, would simply attempt to post a picture mostly unrelated to the topic.

  15. You've been participating in the Steel Canyon zone event?

    I've got this incomplete badge on many characters, but bugged. Shows a full progress bar, but no numbers when moused over, and I know that those characters haven't earned very much progress on the badge, but have earned *some*.
  16. Crafters: Our Time=Your Money.



    Yarn Salvage (common): bidding on stacks of 10 at 50 Inf each.
    Wool Sweater Recipe (memorized): 2500 Inf.
    Wool Sweaters: Selling at 50K Inf., while "Buy it NAO" buyers buy at 1 Million each.

    "Fleecing" the impatient: Priceless.

    Okay, the Dice one I could go either way on, the Witch Hat I want and Capes being L20+ I'm fine with, but I was primarily thinking about this:
    http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Weapon_Customization

    The weapons, although I described it as "costume unlocks". My unfortunate choice of words.

    My example was the Tommy Gun. So with what I'm thinking, let's say a badger gets darn near every badge on thier L50. Thier L1 Blaster can start with a Tommy Gun. The Vanguard Rifle, though, I could see as "not quite unlocked, but reserved" on that L1 blaster. With Vanguard being a L35+ outfit, that Blaster would get it as soon as they hit L35, instead of hitting L35 AND THEN getting it unlocked normally.

    It's a short trip, you can make it.

    • All Anniversary Login Badges
      There are various badges awarded for players having logged in during a specific number of days surrounding the anniversary of the game. For players with multiple avatars across multiple servers, they'll easily spend more time logging characters in and out... than they'll spend playing the game. Making these badges apply to a player's global account solves the issue of logging multiple characters in for a single badge, and gives those who want to re-roll / re-create a character proof that they were indeed around for that anniversary event.
    • All Holiday Login Badges
      there are also various badges awarded for players having logged in during the holiday events. Same reason as Anniversary badges, they should be tied to global accounts, not character accounts
    For all of the other badges that are not currently account wide, I'd have a hard-time making the argument to make them account wide.
    • For things like the exploration badges, they are now tied to a merit reward for trekking all over a map.
    • For things like the Holiday Mission Event badges, such as Father Christmas's Snaptooth mission, or the Zombie Raid from Halloween, these events are largely repeatable.
    I like this post a lot. Seriously.
    I very much want Anniversary Badges (and to a lesser amount Holiday Log-in Badges) to be Account-Wide.

    I would like for the costume unlocks to be account-wide, whether or not the badges themselves are, for the badges that unlock costume pieces. Example: The Tommy Gun for the "Untouchable" badge.
  23. Some people are just generous tippers.

    Idea #1

    I would have expected Justice and say...Protector to have thier indicators swapped with each other.
    Maybe all those Aussie players on Justice haven't got out of bed yet, or back from the bar.
    *shrug*
  25. Better than Power_NA's oft-repeated suggestion of being able to use teams of your alts in missions, I suppose.
