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.

I have a brute and a tanker that were 'min/maxed' out by the low vet level 20s just by cashing in merits for converters and converting yellows. Heck, I could've finished them sooner if I had realized I could get crafted rares for cheaper than the recipes. I have a warshade on the way who should finish up his build right around the same time. My blasters will take longer, but that's the price I'm willing to pay for the defenses from the winter sets. Just playing the game will get you a completed build far far sooner than you could on live. You're only forced into marketeering or farming if you absolutely want that build right now.

But isn't that the whole point of the Echo: Galaxy City?

I see all the likes and 'please do this' and I'm wondering if I'm the only one remembering that Galaxy City is effectively Boomtown now. You'd have to re-make the map, not just re-purpose the old one.

I mean, not everyone wants to spend hours sorting out their build on Mids'. I do, but I like problem solving exercises. "This power looks cool" or "I want to do this" is also always a valid option.

What we really need is a Goldilocks forum where the 'The Game Is Too Easy', 'The Game Is Too Hard', and 'The Game Is Just Right' crowd can duke it out.
