Fights do break out over there because people take disagreement in all sorts of ways. Disagreement quickly turns to insults, and the place gets ugly. But I don’t see how the disagreement itself constitutes a problem, nor do I see how “few ideas from there making it into the game at all” constitutes a problem. Most of the ideas posted in that subforum are pretty flawed. Musing that perhaps more of them should be added to the game sounds rash and misguided to me.

This isn’t happening in reality. Players are either killing Surgeons with their AoE’s, or they’re shooting down leftover Surgeons to stop big targets from getting healed. No one is carefully avoiding Surgeons like they’re raisins in a trail mix.

This is a tough one 😞 easily my favorite director. Twin Peaks, Lost Highway, and Mulholland Drive all had profound impacts on me, to say nothing of the rest. I wasn’t really watching TV of film at all at the time, so I actually found Lynch through a rather obscure backdoor: the operatic adaptation of Lost Highway by Olga Neuwirth https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_Highway_(opera) I guess Twin Peaks season 3 left things pretty open-ended with the finale, but now we’ll never know.

Fair enough. First bolded part. Yeah, that’s probably what it is. As long as everyone knows it was provoked, I’m personally okay with the middle finger. Moderation team and I are in continual disagreement on this viewpoint. Second bolded part. You’re right here too. But I’m generally not claiming innocence. Just trying to be treated fairly and wanting people to recognize that this is a cycle being perpetuated by more than one side.

Why is it particularly problematic to point out that a lot of people see Sai as acting in the exact way he is accusing others of acting? It’s not a wildly controversial take.

Scenarios with plausible deniability are not all that is happening, though. For example, today’s events were pretty cut and dry. This scenario literally happened today: Person A insults Person B (and a host of others) Person B responds to Person A with snark, albeit with kinder words than those used by Person A Person B has their post removed and receives a warning. Person A does not have their post removed, does not receive a warning (we know this because the first thing that happens with a warning is a removed post), and gets a pat on the back from his buddies. What is your explanation? I asked the GM who did this for an explanation and all they did was tell me the entire thing was my fault for being stupid enough to engage with someone who is insulting me. How exactly is this anything but a middle finger directly from the GM to me?

Honestly just put this guy in the game. Give him his own TF for all I care. If it gets a couple of our most vicious insult-prone posters to go back to sleep, the peace of mind will be worth it.

What choice do we have but to stop caring and stop trying? When the GM’s response is “X person is going to insult you and shit on you. It’s all on you to not engage!” Of course I feel as hopeless as you do.

Couldn’t agree more

I’ve never seen you in conflict with the forum’s most toxic members. So I don’t see how you’re “disenfranchised”.

Like the idea of a generic memorial Don’t like the idea of select individuals being memorialized by popularity contest or any other exclusive criteria My 2 inf

Many of us have never played with sound on. Your eyes are sufficient as is, I promise.

I assume it would at least have the following powers that already exist: Strident Echo Deafening Wave Earsplitter Sound Booster (or Build Up) Taunt Disruption Aura could conceivably fit with the armor set… but yeah, only 4 powers need to be designed for the melee set. Presumably a melee cone, a couple more S/T moves, and a mez or utility/buff move.

Stealth IO doesn’t cut it here?

Is it an option to lower its cast time instead?

People already refer to Super Reflexes as “immortal” on this forum… you’re either playing it wrong or not playing it.

Lol you’re not getting Battle Axe buffed again

Super Reflexes can’t take any buffs at this time IMO

Sounds fine to me. Either that or SuperAtom’s suggestion.

Seems like a real stretch

I have powersets where I’ve got the set at 50 several times over. I know I have 5 Storms… 6 Poisons… 8 Ice Blasts I think? Etc.

Hasn’t DPS testing objectively proven that both KM and Staff are terrible at least in that department? For non-stalkers, that is. I don’t feel like finding the threads. Now, there can be reasons to have bad single target DPS. Like good AoE DPS or good mitigation. Spines or Staff, for example, have some of that, but KM is just bad at every category.

It feels a lot like Kinetic Melee in terms of feeling sluggish due to long activations and low DPA. The Sky Splitter mitigation buffs are a nice bonus, but I don’t think they quite justify how bad the damage is. When I log into my Ice/Staff Tanker, I don’t assume I’ll be contributing any significant amount of DPS to the team.
