Eva Destruction

So I just noticed that my Scrapper has over 42k points of credit towards the first heal badge, and I can't figure out where it came from. I've never used an Amy, I've never completed the Katie Hannon task force so I've never even had an Amy, and I've never done a gladiator match. I don't have any ally heals, and I haven't used any ally heal or rez temp powers, at least not to the tune of 42k points of healing. I do have Siphon Life but it shouldn't be counting.

So where could I be getting all this badge credit from?

My KM/DA is only level 10 (curse you Inherent Fitness announcement) but it looks pretty good on paper. For your concept, I'd say it's definitely a better fit than Elec, since you don't have to pretend it's something it's not. Performance-wise DA is a bit heavy on the end use but you can mitigate that with IOs, and it most certainly does not suck as far as survivability goes. It also looks pretty freaking cool once you've got all your toggles and you've played around with power customization.

The scaling resists in the Super Reflexes passives. You're trying to punch me, and I'm dodging. Then you throw a punch that I fail to dodge, and it hurts me. You punched me hard so it hurt me a lot. It might have broken something, I might be bleeding internally, then the next punch I fail to dodge hurts me...less? How does that make sense?

The entire concept of lying around waiting for a rez. I'm a vile evil villain and I just knocked a hero unconscious. I'm Longbow and I just knocked a vile evil villain unconscious. They didn't immediately transport to the hospital. So instead of finishing them off/dragging them off to jail I just....walk back to where I was standing and forget about them.

Missing with AoEs.

I've finally gotten around to doing a real update on this arc (as opposed to quick "fix what the patch broke" updates).

Fixed some typos and spelling errors, thanks PW for pointing them out.
Slightly tweaked some enemy costumes.
Added optional non-combatant "ally" details to mission 1 and 2.
Added a required captive detail to mission 1, to better show what happened to the stolen items.
Tweaked some text for mission 5, to give the player character more incentive to continue.

I deleted my Energy/Elec Blaster because she sucked, and rerolled as Elec/Dev. A year or so later I made another Energy/Elec Blaster, who didn't suck nearly as much and was lots of fun, since by then I knew how to play Blasters. The Elec/Dev was just no fun. She made it to level 35 through sheer stubborness, before getting a reroll as Elec/Elec.

A Red Cell Phone

Hero: Walking through Peregrine Island, you spot a red cell phone on the ground. Whoever lost it will surely want it back. You scroll through the contact list on the phone, and a name catches your eye: Indigo. Followed by a phone number.

So she does have a cell phone! All those times Crimson sent you to talk to her in person were just a waste of your time. You could have just called her. Of course it wouldn't do to have the number fall into the wrong hands; such petty revenge isn't very heroic.

Hand out Indigo's phone number to your trusted hero associates so they don't have to waste time running to her as you did. Give it to some not-so-trusted hero associates as well (the kind with a penchant for black trenchcoats and oversized firearms). We can't all be saints all the time.

Vigilante: Walking through Peregrine Island, you spot a red cell phone on the ground. Statistical probability suggests it could belong to a villain, who might have the numbers of other villains you can track down and beat up. You scroll through the contact list on the phone, and a name catches your eye: Indigo. Followed by a phone number.

So she does have a cell phone! All those times Crimson sent you to talk to her in person were just a waste of your time. Crimson, of all people, understands that some villains just can't be allowed to live, and he dares waste someone like you, who sees his point of view and totally agrees with it, on piddly errands? The nerve!

Smack Crimson and Indigo upside the head for wasting your time. Then demand the location of the nearest Malta cell and enough munitions to outfit a medium-sized guerrilla band.

Rogue: Sneaking through Peregrine Island looking for a big score, you spot a red cell phone on the ground. Whoever it belongs to might have some unsavory contacts; contacts who might cause some embarrassment to its owner were anyone to find out. You scroll through the contact list on the phone, and a name catches your eye: Indigo. Followed by a phone number.

So she does have a cell phone! All those heroes you've teamed with who complained about all those times they had to go see her in person....suckers. Of course people in Indigo's line of work value their privacy. They wouldn't want everyone and their mother to have their phone number.

Call Indigo and blackmail her. If she refuses your most gracious offer, sell her number to telemarketers.

Villain: Smashing your way through Peregrine Island, you spot a red cell phone on the ground. Maybe it belongs to a hero you can beat up. Or, even better, maybe it belongs to someone who knows a lot of heroes you can beat up. You scroll through the contact list on the phone, and a name catches your eye: Indigo. Followed by a phone number.

Indigo has no doubt made a lot of enemies in her time. Even the heroes she helps don't seem to like her very much. She's also associated with Longbow, who have plagued your existence ever since you first set foot in Mercy like so many red and white locusts. That alone is reason enough to get rid of her.

Wait for some Malta jerk to call you out in the paper, then give him Indigo's number instead of the beating of his life. Beat up a warehouse full of Freaks instead (because you have to beat up someone). Give Indigo's number to all your villain friends too. Make popcorn.

Allow people to choose the level of their random rolls from merits, Alignment merits and AE tickets.

Increase the drop rate of pool C recipes from bosses below level 45. A small tweak but it'll add a few more mid-range pool Cs to the system.

Fix the "hide useful salvage warning" and "hide large listing fee warning" options so they actually stick.

Add at least two new Targeted AoE sets that don't suck, one of which should be uncommon and go to 50. Add an uncommon PBAoE set that goes to 50 and doesn't suck.

Raise the inf cap. I don't really need it because I keep spending my inf, but it will make some people happy, and the people who will be happy need it in order to better profit off other people's misery. That makes me happy.

Is padding your SG with your own alts to get the prestige bonus allowed, or is it against the "self-sufficiency" concept?

I believe BaB has already said "no" to true minimal effects on the elemental armors.

So going with that as our answer, I'd like a "less obtrusive" option. Even if they did go back on BaB's "no" and gave us a true "FX in PvP only" option, I wouldn't use it, and I do use the "FX in PvP only" option on nearly every character that allows it. I might use a "less obtrusive" effects option if I liked it better though.

Allowing for minimal effects for ally buffs is totally pointless unless it's from the receiver's end, since it seems many players like to make their ally buffs flashy and distracting. And oh, how I want to not see ally buff effects. No more being encased in hideous Cold shields, ever. No more searingly bright Thermal shields. No more puke green bubbles or sonic shields that look like someone traced around my character with a magic marker.

By the time the enemy's Unstoppable has crashed, I don't care, because I've moved on. If I can't move on, because he's required for mission complete, it really doesn't matter if he's stunned and has no end; I took off 3/4 of his health while he wasn't stunned and had end after all.

Yes, the godmodes need to change. If enemies must have them, limit them to 30 seconds to 1 minute in duration. Stop throwing them on every player character surrogate with an appropriate powerset. Stop giving them to every signature character. Limit enemy self-heals as well, especially Dull Pain-type heals that also grant +HP, ESPECIALLY if they also have a godmode (Ms Liberty, I was looking at you. For a very long time, since you wouldn't just DIE already.) Cap AV resistance at 95%.
