I couldn't find her in the contact listings either.

Shame as the sole representative of the Dawn Patrol in the game files, she SHOULD be.

Arcs published under @Mr. Samoa:

There are 3 arcs under my name, all part of a large story. The first two are stand alones, but should probably be played in order. The final one requires at least the second (Let's Do The Time Warp Again) to be played for a plot point to make sense.

Part 1 (standalone): Time Stream Snafu
A company, Omega Works, has had some interesting developments in portal tech. Their portals can cross not only dimensions, but also time and space! But something's gone wrong. Recruit some help from throughout time to fix the time stream!

Part 2 (standalone): Let's Do the Time Warp Again
Omega Works thought they'd worked out all their problems, but they were wrong! Similar to "Time Stream Snafu", save the day alongside some very interesting allies. (Contains EB/AV at the end)

Part 3 (requires at least Part 2): The Problem with Portals
I don't want to spoil anything, but this arc nicely caps off the story started in parts 1 and 2. It has the same sort of "time-ally" idea. Lots of fun! [Contains EB/AV at the end!]

Arcs published under @Hell BoyII (not my account, but I'm using the slots. All these arcs can be found my searching "@Mr. Samoa" since my name is in the description):

1) The Sad Story of the Clockwork King
Most heroes have heard about how the Clockwork King was created after his physical body took a turn for the worst at the hands of Blue Steel. Now, you can live Blue Steel's life-changing adventure by his side and witness how one of Paragon's greatest supervillains was born. [Contains 1 EB/Boss, 1 AV/EB]

2) The Heart of Fear
For decades, Nemesis has struck fear into the hearts of every living person on the planet. But is it possible that even the cold Prussian Prince of Automatons has a heart? (Contains 2 AVs/EBs at the end!)

Does the mission porter work for a set MA mission ?

My Sonic/Sonic defender is a singer at the Paragon Opera.

That works pretty well as is.

soon.

Not to mention that it's in a raid zone that regularly fills up on raid nights.

So go to RWZ 2 then...

Resists base is 1.25% for a single resist and on the few that are dual it is 0.63% (ie halved)

Defence base WAS 1.25% for a single type or position, and 0.63% on the few that were dualed to start with

From the get go grabbing a position defence was twice as good as getting a resist, then the pairing of poisitonal and typed in every case, made it easier to stack

Right now there are 5 (count em) ways to improve smashing resistance and 4 to improve lethal resists

Both Sm and Le
Air Burst 4 0.63%
Analyze Weakness 6 1.58%
Call to Arms 5 1.89%

Lethal Only
Edict of the Master 4 2.5%

Smashing only
Hibernation 4 1.25%
Kinetic Crash 3 2.5%

Of those only Kinetic crash is remotely stackable in any non-MM build.

Lets look at Fire (14) and Cold (16)

Both
Absolute Amazement 3 2.52%
Armageddon 3 2.52%
Doctored Wounds 3 1.26%
Fortunata Hypnosis 3 2.52 %
Gravitational Anchor 3 2.52%
Hecatomb 3 2.52%
Multi-Strike 3 0.95%
Positron's Blast 3 1.58%
Ragnarok 3 2.52%
Red Fortune 3 1.26%
Rope A Dope 3 0.95%
Salvo 3 1.26%
Unbreakable Constraint 3 2.52%

Fire
Gift of the Ancients 3 2.5%

Cold
Debilitative Action 3 2.5%
Executioner's Contract 3 3.13%
Winter's Gift 2 5%

Again the vast majority are already paired, and given the number of purple sets in there, already unstackable.

Its a relatively straightforward fix, to adjust the few sets that aren't paired (*insert code rant*) and would address soem of the issues that defence is overwhelmingly favoured in IO builds right now.

I have given the full spectrum
I have left an arc unrated, but with a long comment - basically it was bugged and I let the author know, where and how to fix.
Then:
1 Starred a 'player killer' map
2 Starred just a poorer than a random paper mission
Multiple 3 stars
1 4 star on a good arc, but with 2 huge defeat alls in the final missions, I left a comment about how the ending dragged.
and a couple of 5 stars on arcs I played and liked on test after they went up on live

I assume people reported it for being a farming mission. Weather or not that is against the rules I don't know.

What power sets did you give these "easy kills"

[/ QUOTE ]

Certainly the GMs are locking obvious farms as soon as they find them. Read into that your own interpretation.

"Littlest thing"?

You understand this is a pretty noticeable screw-up, that adversely affects the performance of any buff powerset in the game? I mean, I'm definitely willing to give the devs the benefit of the doubt on this one -- I can see what they wanted to do, and I even consider it worth doing -- but they really need to reverse this, and quick, until they can restrict it to the intended target. It is absolutely not worth the gain if it's going to apply to the huge number of unintended situations it presently covers.

[/ QUOTE ]

Or it could be the long awaited fix for the 'double stacked' buff exploit abused by Shielders for the longest time.

1 badge away, logged to cook dinner at 599.

A flat out no powers work is *insert code rant here* much easier to code successfully than a partial block.

Outside of the few steps from the door to the terminal, what do you need auto powers for in there anyway ?

Is Beginner's Luck preserved based on the player's real level in MA missions?

[/ QUOTE ]

Beginners luck is base on your effective level as determined by any sidekick or exemp functionality.

An exploration badge has basically the same issues as a plaque.

It will be on every server, when it is relevant to a small subsection of one.

[ QUOTE ]

The second was an alteration of the first idea by a player "Chibi Lime" to instead have an icon appear in the health bar window like the proximity icons used for day job locations. I love this idea and hope the devs would seriously consider a QoL feature to help our friends enjoy the game more.


[/ QUOTE ]

This would work and be a logical reuse of a similar piece of code.
I play 95% of the time with no sounds and would love a soundless glowie clue feature.

[ QUOTE ]

This isn't to say our event is so important that it should change the game.


[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, thats exactly what people are saying. a plaque is a change to the game, permanantly and on every server.

No you will not.

Renames do not stack.

The resistance bonuses should be paired in the same way that the defence bonuses were looked at and adjusted.

Why do there have to be additional plaques?

[/ QUOTE ]
Ask the devs that, they keep adding them.

[/ QUOTE ]

I believe you but I cannot remember the last plaque that was added. I blame whiskey.

Anyone have a list of recent addtions?

[/ QUOTE ]

Midnighters Club in I12 - the history badge uses 'plaque' mechanics but are all the various objects

RWZ in Issue 10 would be the last plaques, which detail the forts and a few other locations
The non-badge one in Faultline (I8) by Jim

Last badge related plaques would be I7 (Grandville)

Dual Builds are meant to be separate.

having a full set of 5 bonuses carry over from buidl 1 to build 2 would create the ability to be far too powerful.

+75% accuracy (more than 2 SO worth) and 50% recharge (more than twice quickness) plus other effects for zero slots in your build.

Not going to happen

Still takes a while if you are /FF

There wasn't an 'event' category per server either year.

GH Certificate from the 1st Players Choice award.

Yes it is a SG that is still active - just like Tanker Tuesday

A collection of themed characters - The theme being country names - just like TT whose theme is tanks.

GH has been 'meeting' every day for nearly 5 years.

I dont think TT is unique as a collection of players and I dont think a plaque is appropriate.

Gold names, Dev coming to the 5th anniversary bash, spot in the scoop and events calandar are all appropriate

This is a server specific certificate, the Player run event one is not.

It was voted on by anyone from any server.
