[What Happened to GM Led Weekly Discussions?]

Who'd want to these days.  The idea that we have the best, supportive, and non-toxic community, while not completely sundered, has certainly been challenged of late.  I've worked behind the scenes on other games in my time, and the behaviour here of late would have easily inspired me to fake covid to get away from this lot for a couple of weeks.

I dig it.  Add the options to LRT and base transporter too while you're at it

Say no more...

 

[Any Possibility of Archery for Dominators?]

Hmm, you could use the animation for brawl holding a bow, that little front kick, but with a purpose.  You could also grab 3 arrows and use a claws attack or two.  I think theres merit to this given some of the damage and controlly powers between archery and trick arrow.

It's been too many years, and I've tried to forget the blotches that Harmony Gold has made of anime and their subsequent issues regarding the copyright on Macross, and HG's litigiousness over terms and images they claimed the rights to.

 

You sure seemed anime-ted enough about it.  Although back then we called it Japanimation.

Which Voltron? GoLion or Dairugger XV? How can it be "the most iconic giant robot in media" if it's just two completely unrelated Japanese anime series jammed together? And now I'm mad that you seem to be one of those western fanboys who think it's all original, like the people who don't understand that Harmony Gold's 'Macross Saga' was made up of Super Dimension Fortress Macross, Genesis Climber Mospeada, and Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross -- three completely unrelated anime series jammed together to have enough episodes for American TV networks to buy in syndication. For an 'iconic giant robot', you'd do better by going with Gundam; the style, maintained across fifty series, films, and OVAs, as well as manga, novels, and video games, is more widely recognized than Voltron will ever be.

 

And if you take this comment seriously, you deserve to.

Harmony Gold made Robotech.  The Macross Saga was just the first part based off of...Macross.  I imagine next someone will try to (incorrectly) nerdsplain out Tranzor Z.

 

PS:  Youths!  Tired of all these millenials walking around acting like they rent the place.

[Focused Feedback: Costume & Pet Reward Updates]

I'm actually suddenly reminded of Star Wars Galaxies storyteller mode with all its different holographic costumes for storytelling and roleplay.  If this got used as that, it could make for some really good roleplay tools.

 

+1 guys.

[Focused Feedback: Costume & Pet Reward Updates]

Without getting into prices theoretical or confirmed, that shadowy aura one with glowing eyes is badass.

 

I also tried out all the arachnoid and arachnos ones and they appear to work fine.

 

But seriously, the shadowy one is dope.

You're not going to believe this, but I don't think I got enough rewards for this win.

[Add an Alpha slot ability that increases Knockback.]

Hmmmmm.  While there is a vocal group that actively despises knockback, it does seem to be the only crowd control-ish effect not covered in Alphas.  I think it deserves representation, but it might draw some player aggro.

Among many, many things, THIS has always confused me: there are a million posts where people complain that The Real Game isn't giving out enough rewards, but as soon as someone uses that as a justification for farming, suddenly The Real Game is so god damned rewarding, people get hernias just by returning to a contact.

 

Is that one of them cakes that's just for lookin' at, or is it the eatin' kind?

Shatterpoint, who I was responding to, didn't say there weren't enough rewards.  What they said was:

 

" I do not mind pointing out that for new players, playing normally has no reward whatsoever."

 

and

 

"There is ZERO reward for playing the game normally. "

 

As this is demonstrably false, that's what I was responding to.  My response wasn't about "enough."  My response was specifically about "at all."

 

While it's nice to get quoted and included, don't misinterpret, willfully or not, what I posted to grind your axe.

We literally showed you the rewards for playing normally.

Uh...when I got back, I did some doorsitting to get my main back to 50.  That's when I realized I was broke except for any inf I made if I got killed in a farm because evidently that turns off 2xp until you get levelrezzed.

 

After that I tried MSRs which, while a little lucrative, were better for coverting vanguard merits to reward merits, which I used for recipes or enhancements I needed.

 

Then i started doing task forces and oro arcs for reward merits, and continued equipping myself that way.

 

I dont marketeer.  I usually sell off all my recipes at a shop instead of an AH, unless its a purple or high value orange.  I usually even ignore basic and yellow recipes because Im a badger.

 

I'm currently all kitted out, with everything catalyzed, on two builds, t4s and all with multiple t4 options, and currently chilling at about 650 million inf even after hooking up 2 alts.

 

Farming is in exactly zero way required to do a goddamn thing.

I like passive inherents better than click inherents, as a general thing.

Also, people need to stop confusing donations with payment. Payment is obligatory to have product. Donations are given out of the goodness of one's heart. Don't donate and then dangle it over someone's head, devs or RL people.

 

I owe all of you an apology.  What I should have said instead was:  Donations made to the Ronald McDonald House do not make you the CEO of McDonald's.

 

I hope you accept my mea culpa.

Attention:  purchasing a Big Mac does NOT make you CEO of McDonalds.

Passion is admirable.  However, when people call for Sentinels to be abolished or cancelled because they are pointless due to a lack of damage, then, when buffed, scream about power creep, it becomes difficult to reconcile.
