I read "it'll make the early game too easy," I say "players will be running less played early missions more often now that its no longer a slog". I mean, how often are we hearing about the Rogue Isles and Praetoria being empty? I read "nobody will use the stores," I say "four DFBs and a couple TFs, I'm already level 22 without having ever had to step into a store to begin with." Now there's an incentive to visit stores early on to get your slots filled. I read "immersion", I say "unnecessary enforced downtime sucks and this isn't an unpopular opinion."

There is an issue with the loss of control utility when you can herd through taunt and AoE the herd, but that's not just a CoH issue. The bigger problem is that while one tank/brute can hold the AV's aggro, you need multiple holds to keep them in place. This is where break bars can help make control really shine. As far as support, my blaster will appreciate any she gets. And the value of support shines again when you get to incarnate content. If you're nerfing to make them 'relevant', then, yeah, you're making them mandatory. Metas are a thing.

So make support and crowd control mandatory instead? Since when in the history of CoH has that been a thing?

My usual route these days is to DFB three/four times for the bonuses, maybe run a team for Montague's arc, TF the rest of the way to 22, then finally start thinking about enhancements. This will make it less painful to solo or small team story arcs on my way up, which is going to especially helpful red and goldside. I like it!

There's a soft limit, though: ~500k to create a lvl 50 uncommon IO ~90k per converter Most rare IOs sell for roughly 1 mil. Unless you hit the converter lottery and land on a high demand IO, you're taking a loss once you use more than five converters. Up to ten (I think) if you're converting lower level IOs.

Not panic, just spitballing ideas off of something Jimmy mentioned. Maybe if I had titled it 'how to make less played content more rewarding.'

This is new to me. Which badges are these?

Maybe just expand the Vanguard merit to include other mobs, with rates depending on challenge. As far as mayhems and safeguards, it would depend on mission timing. Higher level ones reward more since you need more radio missions. Maybe six for beating the AV plus more if you complete side missions?

Jimmy mentioned this over in General Discussion: I'll start the discussion here: Merits for safeguard and mayhem missions. On that note, perhaps something akin to a Vanguard Merit for taking down Malta, Carnies, Knives, and other less steamrolly mobs. Hazard zone merits for taking down mobs there that don't con grey.

Huh. I never got a notification and it doesn't show up in the Most Recent tab.

Oh! No, that's not a new badge: https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/A_Nemesis_Plot_Badge I didn't know they were running Nemmy plots today, I haven't seen any yet. It may be a random thing on the server, like the Rikti invasions?

Um, there are no actual badges, just the little guy following you around for a day, the new and improved brawl, and the bat.

The Nemesis has always been running. It will always be running, until...

An exploit was removed, this was going to happen.

Y'all know Harrison Bergeron was a parody, right?

Well, I guess you don't want to have a conversation then. Okely dokely.

I regularly sell lvl 50 common recipes for less than 100k a pop. I check uncommons on the AH before I convert 'em, they regularly sell for less than 1 million each. Look, if you're going to continually over-exaggerate without any basis of what's actually in-game, I'm not sure how we're supposed to have a conversation.

OK, so now we're at 999999 LOTG and other high demand IOs on the market being a bad thing. 🤔

Merits and converters cause 100x worse influence inflation. Um. How?

Pick your caption: "See, son, this is why you don't want to be a blaster when you grow up." "Doogie Howser, Vanguard M.D." "Give me 500 mg of Excedrin stat. And a babysitter."

If y'all gonna over-exaggerate your numbers, go big or go home. Using any percentage less than 50% is weaksauce.

Vet levels are the high score game anyone can play. Even though none of us will ever catch up to Veracor.
