I've done a bit of both, but yeah it's not really in my interest to stick around for the whole thing and there are usually enough players in the league that it won't adversely affect the raid.
I've still only completed seven MSRs since I started in July of 2019. They are so boring. The action is awesome in the beginning, dropping pylons and planting bombs, but the AV/GM dude is vaporized in seconds and then you just sit there and drop a thousand Sleets, Ice Storms, and Blizzards on enemies until your eyes melt.
I still need three more completions for the badges, so anything to make this more engaging sounds good to me.
That is the default stance for using the Void Skiff travel power, which you can purchase at the Pay 2 Win (P2W) vendor on most CoH/CoV maps or the Transact to Win (T2W) vendor in Praetoria.
Nothing has been announced about a decline in drop rate for Enhancements. There was mention of one of the Salvage Packs granting the wrong boost (xp boost instead of experienced?) or something like that.
I think the only way this could work is if you were running the game on a virtual machine and mirroring it over to the Nvidia Shield (either via wired connection or through wifi). Take that with a cup of salt, I've never had one to try that advice out on. I do know that CoH can be ran on a modern cellphone, an ancient (circa 2008) laptop, and within a virtual machine though!
Huh? Where do you see it saying Beta on the launcher? The first sentence of the first notification is that "Issue 27, Page 3 is now live!"

These are the badges currently available for purchase by the Candy Keeper:
The Frosty Badge and the Crystallized Badge are not among those available on this list because they are rewarded for completing Father Time's mission during the Winter Event.
Check out my Winter Event Badge list here for more details!
They're temporary - if you want better damaging, more accurate, and faster recharging powers you can level up and select them from your primary, secondary, pool powers, or epic/patron, and don't forget your incarnate tree.
