Glacier Peak

There's good and bad examples out there. I look at a gaming studio like 343 Industries and their abomination that is Halo Infinite and think how many billions of dollars went in to that product, how many developers sunk decades worth of development hours in to it (and it still feels like I'm beta testing it when I play), and how the care of a previous studio's intellectual property (Bungie) was so mismanaged, that I think I can accept this comparison.

I think that player criticism is a necessary and healthy component of this community. Thank you for your reply.

Shout out to the Theme Teamers and @TraumaTrain, the Theme Team thread is the sixth most viewed (non-stickied/pinned) topic on the entire Homecoming forums! I requested this thread be stickied/pinned, but I haven't seen anyone sticky/pin it so I figured there was some reason behind not doing so. @GM Impervium any chance this thread can be stickied/pinned?

Thanks for everyone signing up for [1100 PST / 1200 MST / 1300 CST / 1400 EST] Saturday, June 15th - PvP Badges Week 2: I'll see you all in-game in tomorrow! We will meet inside the Villain base in Recluse's Victory or we may be out and about in the zone, so send me a tell! I'll be there 15 minutes early to start inviting people.

But if you invert the letters, close your eyes, then say the sentence backwards, it actually says: "Indomitable is the server with no lag and double XP, come join us weekends for awesome badge runs, theme teams, and slow and steady teaming - brought to you in part by @Glacier Peak, @Lunar Ronin, and the Theme Teamers of Indomitable" Sort of like when you see closed captioning/subtitling for a really long dialog scene in a foreign film, but the english translation is just a one word response 😄

I am automatically turned off from any movie or TV show that has the word 'Resurgence' in it. It's an awful word that has no creativity and adds nothing to the title. Looking at you, Independence Day: Resurgence

Are the Valentine event tips like the Halloween tips? I can't remember. I do like having specific times of the year when things are available to look forward to, especially the Halloween event itself - that's my favorite event.

It's actually a sequel.

Look at that title edit.

I think the title says it all, again.

Nobody touching Shivan Decimator, Warwolf, Amy Johnson, RV Longbow Heavy, Bees, Zombies, Fire Imps, Rikti Done, any other summonable pets or heck, at least Warburg Nukes???

Since you @ me, I'll also add what @Luminara posted on the Sentinel sub forum: "It deals less damage than the blaster version because sentinels aren't blasters, they're scrappers with a ranged primary; and it has a shorter recharge time (HC uses a formula to determine damage, base recharge time is one of the variables in that formula. the faster an attack's base recharge, the less base damage it deals). It uses Sleep instead of Hold because sentinels were designed to be less reliant on hard controls, none of their primaries have two hard controls which can stack (you can select a *PP with a compatible hard control if you want to stack)."

Given the poster decided to thumb down my question instead of answer it, I'll take my leave. I will leave you with this reply, however. When a suggestion fails to take in to account there are other qualifiers beyond damage (like range difference, soft control, and the fact that Sentinels are given armor powersets as a secondary) the comparison is moot. The original post could've said Corruptor or Defender too and made little sense, but for some reason DPA is chosen against Blaster even though it doesn't account for Sentinel debuffs or their protection from their armor, let alone the range difference. Why not compare to other Sentinel powersets, not in the vacuum of DPA, but in a holistic approach backed up by objective data? This is just another suggestion that begs for more damage without any consideration for balance (even though the poster was given plenty of reason why the powerset is the way it is over in the Sentinel Archetype sub forum).

I'm not sure why you're comparing Blaster to Sentinel.

Auction House, type Respec Recipe, make purchase, craft.

I imagine logging out might be easier. Between heavies and pillboxes, the heavies can be soloed pretty easy. That's why I wanted to help folks out with the pillboxes while we were on. We'll likely get the 100 pillboxes badge next weekend after we get all the heroes defeated.

Yeah, I guess when you give someone an inch, they'll ask for a mile afterwards.

No. Players still need to provide their own enhancements, there's no easy mode for that. Because their own ability to get rewards is so limited (the only available source of rewards is critters in PVP zones) the expectation is that those characters will receive influence and enhancements from other characters that are PVE enabled.

Good copy, I'll be here when you all finish. Edit: Successful event! Thank you all who joined our first PvP badge hunt week. Plus some extra PvP badges in the process! I'll see folks next week when get defeat those Heroes!

Oh okay, so if I post a screenshot of my time and it's a minute slower than anyone else's, I'm okay. But if I post a screenshot and it's faster than anyone else's time, it's not good enough? How do I record a video on my screen? I want to keep a record of my run. What is the standard?

Your honor, I'd like to submit Exhibit A: Statement from the Defendant indicating their motive to cheese.

The drop rate is bugged and will be addressed in a future patch.

Temporal Warrior, Instant Level 50 PvP Characters. At character creation, new Primal characters can tick a box called "Temporal Warrior (PVP only)". This is not available for existing characters or Praetorians. Characters created with this box ticked will spawn on Recluse's Victory and can only access the four PVP zones (Bloody Bay, Siren's Call, Warburg, Recluse's Victory), Pocket D (for access to the various vendors), the Arena and Supergroup Bases. These characters cannot travel to any other zones, enter trials or teleport via LFG, get missions from contacts, or enter mission doors from other players. In return, they start at Level 50 with all Incarnate slots unlocked, Incarnate powers can be crafted at no cost, and Patron Powers don't require the Patron badges. Those characters count as level 1 for the name reservation system, you can't create a PVP character just to lock a name. They still need to provide their own enhancements, there's no easy mode for that. Because their own ability to get rewards is so limited (the only available source of rewards is critters in PVP zones) the expectation is that those characters will receive influence and enhancements from other characters that are PVE enabled. The goal here is to remove the barrier of entry for players that are curious about PVP, but don't want to spend the time leveling up a new character that would be useful under the PVP rules.

Thanks for everyone signing up for Saturday, June 8th PvP Badges Week 1. I'll see you all in game in tomorrow. We will meet inside the Hero base in Recluse's Victory, I'll be there 15 minutes early to start inviting people. There are plenty of spots remaining if anyone has any friends that want to join us. Otherwise, I think we'll be fine. Folks can also switch out their characters if they desire for specific badges as needed. This will be more relaxed than our LGTF run last week. @Glacier Peak Glacier Peak - Ice/Cold Corruptor @Cece Casualty of War - fire/energy dominator @Bananiac Mr O'Hallows (Fire/Nature Controller) @Burnt Umber Commenticia - Illusion/Forcefields Controller I'll see everyone tomorrow for some PvP Badges!
