  1. Don't change anything. The lights are still on, we haven't been shutdown, and the community is still here. You're not going to please everyone with the decisions you have to make - forum moderation is probably the most thankless job in a gaming community. That being said, it's healthy for the community to see a thread like this and I look forward to reading constructive input.

    Hope all is well Glacier ….. any updates for us? 

    Thanks, I wanted to start back up in March, but I'm still pretty busy with RL stuff. Sorry for such a delay, it's likely going to be on hold until Summer when I've got more time.

  3. Or don't change the powerset at all and instead...

     

    Use an inspiration to recover endurance.

     

    Use a temporary power to improve endurance recovery. 

     

    Slot endurance recovery Invention Origin set bonuses and globals.

     

    Slot endurance reduction enhancements in toggles, clicks, and attacks as needed. 

     

    Team up with other players who provide endurance recovery buffs. 

     

    Attack and retreat, and Rest if needed. 

     

    Lower difficulty in missions to reduce the amount of overall endurance needed to complete the required tasks.

    Only if the run is advertised as "optimized".  I generally avoid Hardmode stuff due to a strong dislike of micro-managed builds/Incarnates.

     

    That said, I'm not against soft guidance like communicating who the primary and secondary Incan folks will be, or "Let's get 1more debuffer" (as opposed to "We need an Ice/Cold Corrupter!"). 

     

    I don't want to be accused of bringing the league down because I didn't equip T4 Barrier.

    Good points, I agree.

  5. No new high scores to update this week.

     

    Perhaps there are no challengers who can usurp the incredible gauntlet thrown down by Excelsior. Everlasting certainly got within striking distance, but Indomitable has not been able to surpass 1800 in months, so I fear we may be at a standstill in this competition.

     

    Is it time to move to niche builds and strategized guides for the next big jump in high score?

    The temp powers are exclusive. Accepting a new one revokes any existing one.

    Yeah, now that's how they work - but before, when they were created during legacy, I'm pretty sure a player could have five buffs at once. 

  7. Is this a two way conversation or are you here to just dunk on the community?

     

    Since Homecoming started they've asked players to contribute in many ways, including becoming a developer to support content expansions and by testing out changes both on the open and closed beta shards. Homecoming has added more content in the last six years than I can even believe, on par with legacy content.

    That might have been intentional in the pay to play days, making players invest as much time as possible in their product, but why keep it that way with this indie version? It's a bit repetitive to beat up the same mobsters dozens of times and find the flashy object to click on. Spending 20+ hours in game to progress from one level to the next and to know that the next 14 levels are going to take increasingly more time is a bit much.

    Getting to level 50 was the goal in the retail version. Here it doesn't matter. We can play the game how we want. If you need xp, join a team or start one and run content together. Grab double xp boosts for more or join a farm if you're not interested in the content available at your current level range.

    I also learned that if I fly too far off the map to see what's in the great beyond, it will just deposit me on the slopes of the ski lodge part of the map.

    I suppose I failed to make clear in my YouTube video, but if you fly far enough out, you can drop to the bottom of the zone without getting kicked back to the slopes. The zone will continue for a very long distance, but you won't find anything else out there not shown in my video.

  10. I asked someone about this movie and they told me what they thought. I think I'll wait for it to come out on Disneyplus. The movie going experience is not anywhere near what it was when I was a youngster - my needs as a customer have changed and the movie theater chains I go to have a specific target audience they want to maximize their profit from.

     

    And that's totally cool with me.

     

    As a consumer, when I don't like a change in a product I've been consuming, I can make a choice to stop consuming it.

     

    Here's a comparison I think it's appropriate - I think asking Arby's to give me their business expenses and revenue information so that I could make an informed decision on whether to order the ham with cheese or a deli sandwich is strange.

     

    They already tell me the ingredients, how many calories each item contains, what they pay their employees, etc.

     

    I ask myself, "am I hungry enough to pay for this product or do I want to spend less for something else."

     

    If the product doesn't meet the individuals needs, they're going to go elsewhere (at least in free markets). 

     

    Hopefully the detour to a comparison like food isn't lost on the discussion about a movie.
