Can’t say that “was trying to duo advanced mode content” was the best way to start making a case. I don’t know that anyone should reasonably expect success under those conditions. That said the proposed idea might still be a good one.

Weird. No idea what’s different for me.

You can take cool things called travel powers at level 4 and get there in a few seconds from the other train tho!

Interesting paragraph because I consider melee AT’s to be way easier and way less risky…

Maybe it only works in AE or something but definitely worked there. I checked XP on same mission same baddies same team comp +4 vs +5 and +5 was about ~25% more XP.

I assume you guys are referring to some other kind of reward like maybe completion bonuses because I went and tested +4 vs +5 baddy xp right after this and was definitely getting better xp. Will read.

Are you saying +4 and +5 enemies are currently giving the same amount of XP? I’m trying to find dev commentary on this rn.

I don’t think that people like developers that have an actual obligation to communicate with the community get to have an aversion to using their own website in the same way that Ukase or I might have preferences. At a certain point people that take on a formal role will and should be required to do their actual jobs.

Perhaps they shouldn’t be on the team if they’re weirdly averse to using all of the appropriate channels.

I agree that the devs sometimes appearing to prioritize discord communication over communication on their own website is weird and annoying at times. There are reasons people don’t want to be on their discord.

Yeah I think we can all agree that there’s zero need for every new set to be as good as Battle Axe and that only comparing a new set to Battle Axe is a weird cherry pick.

Technically false (Tankers did not have Dark Armor for years) but yeah I have no qualms with it.

Because all Stalkers get Build Up

yes

Some days I think I might be the only person on the planet that has made basic observations about this game’s balancing, like “Oh I see they made this power only affect allies, but I see the numbers on that power are stronger for that reason specifically”. I don’t know why so many can’t see this stuff.

Have you considered playing these alts 👀

In fairness, if my definition of bad development was the team implementing ideas other than my own, I’d probably be pissy too.

I don’t really have an opinion yet on Sonic Melee, but the “HC always releases bad sets” narrative is so tiresome. Some people don’t seem capable of functioning without Fire/Ice Blast, Bio Armor, Cold Dom/Kinetics tier sets, and that’s obviously a non-starter in reality. If you don’t think average tier sets are okay to play, have at it, but your viewpoint isn’t practical enough for the devs to take feedback from it.

How could you miss Will Smith

Super Inspirations can be converted to cold hard cash so pretty misleading to act like those are worthless.

This would just make farming empyreans a little too easy I think… thinking of all of my various spreadsheet needs and thinking of all of the toons that have scored T3/T4 drops after finishing their own incarnates and reading your very generous exchange rates where a lucky drop can be worth more empyreans than 3 veteran levels… sounds a little too close to winning the lottery IMHO. Sorry Sue 😞 EDIT: In general I am not opposed to some new way to deal with old threads and incarnate components, but the jump from selling immortal recoveries to the particular proposed exchange rates above is way too great. I have given you a thumb left so as not to dishearten you with a thumb down.

Dug up this thread for you Sue it’ll change your life I promise

Based. But it doesn’t even get to keyboard presses for some of us. I refuse to enter any of the slash commands that are designed to break the game’s animation system in the first place. Just a basic “no cheat codes” principle to me.

To put it another way: At the end of the day, due to Kheldians’ access to 85% res caps and crashless nukes, I am basically only okay with this happening if the word “mediocre” is in fact truthful. And the basis of my stance is that I don’t believe it to be truthful. It doesn’t pass the common sense smell test to anyone who understands how much 700 DPS is in this game. The most benign explanation I can think of is that the people that make this claim are such efficient powergamers that by now they genuinely forget that people play Scrappers that aren’t Bio Armor + High DPA Primary.

This post is reflective of actual reality, and actually contends with things I have said. Amazing job 5 stars. You are the literal first. Lauci maybe I have your specific opinion wrong because you guys act like such a unified collective. Sounds like you’re actually in agreement with me on the part that matters to me. Maybe we’ll hear about it the next time someone tries to sell us that particular false claim. Good stuff.
