Very much so.

No, because then players could choose to no longer be subjected to being phased by mobs.

The hold is called Time Freeze in Keyes You are misunderstanding me and I don't want this to devolve into an argument. So I'll simply say there is no way to stop time in a MMO, the best you can do is an unresistable hold. That however runs up against both a radius and duration concern. Nothing in the game can freeze game time, not even cut scenes. So on that note, I will not be responding on this thread further.

I don't remember any time freezes in that trial. Just holds. If you were out of range of his "time freeze", you weren't held. It was basically a wide area PBAoE hold. It has been quite a while since I did it though.

Agreed. How do you freeze time in a MMO anyway? Even the cut scenes aren't frozen, otherwise players wouldn't be able to interrupt Marauder. (Edit: For clarification, I'm not talking about the emotes being done behind him, I mean the player comments during his cut scene.)

I don't get it. I don't run at higher than default difficulty until I get higher level and I never use xp boosts, but I routinely find myself turning off xp to make sure I don't outlevel First Ward.

Okay, my question is: How? Playing solo and not using double xp, I have to be careful that I don't outlevel First Ward before finishing the content. I'm not saying you don't have that happen, but I truly want to know how.

It makes sense that your Praetorian character can't access Last Bastion. Your Praetorian character starts in Praetoria (the city) and as far as I can tell, Last Bastion isn't part of the city. Even First Ward is still part of Praetoria (the city), just a part abandoned to Hamidon for dumping people Cole doesn't want. To reach Last Bastion though, your not an incarnate character has to fight his/her/their/its way past incarnate tier Devouring Earth to find a little rinky dink hold out point your character most likely doesn't even know exists that Cole left to be overrun. I'm surprised Reese made his way there without getting turned into an infested. Following the game's story, your character would be present at the fall of Praetoria (the city) making a desperate last stand against an army of Avatars of Hamidon and a fleet of Seeds of Hamidon plus apparently Hamidon himself given all the tentacles and all the infested IDF and Devouring Earth mobs Hamidon had there to throw at them. At which point your character either becomes an NPC Infested, dies, or is evacuated to Primal Earth by either Arachnos or Vanguard (with the Freedom Corps and Portal Corps assistance). So you would still need to go Primal to have access to Last Bastion.

Dark Founder's Falls map needs the water bubbles lowered slightly. Not only is the water bubbling, so is the walkway. Server: Everlasting Zone/Mission: IOM_FOUNDERSFALLS_DA Position: [3499.1 -12.0 2566.6]

What if they have converted to Primals?

No. Gold side was added to give players an optional higher difficulty than normal play experience that also happened to give players a look at how Praetoria worked beyond what little glimpses we saw from the blue side story arcs.

They are random though. Just pictures uploaded with no clarification and guidance as to what is desired from them. For example, the first picture. Is the poster asking for a tiger head breastplate? (Edit: Maybe just a tiger head chest detail?) Or is the poster asking for that hairstyle? Is the poster asking for an armored bodysuit or a loin cloth? For clawed gauntlets? Maybe the large, metal, hoop earrings? For all of it to be able to make that exact character? (Which the devs won't do.) Second picture is an ornate breastplate, but is it that pattern specifically or just an ornamented breastplate that is desired? Third picture is a really small portrait, so not much detail to go off of. However, is it the hairstyle that is desired? The arm sashes or whatever those are called? The dress that the devs have already stated they can't do because of how bad the clipping is with various character animations but still gets routinely asked for? Fourth picture, is it the straps that are desired? If so, are they desired as a belt option or as part of a specific set of pants like how other patterns are? Is it the gloves? Is the collared bodysuit top with the plunging neckline? Is it the pattern of the bodysuit itself specifically, and if so, what all does the poster want that pattern available for? Fifth picture? Is it to be able to make a topless female character? (Because I'm pretty sure that won't ever happen.) Is it the quad wing cape? If so, is it specifically as a cape or does the poster want quad wings instead? Is it the tentacle-like hair style? Is it the head dress? Sixth picture is a rehash of pictures 1, 3, and 5 for questions but adding in face mask. I can't make anyone actually state what they want when they post pictures on the thread. However, I will point out that not including such information works against the poster rather than in the poster's favor. Edit again: And while you are correct that the devs can simply ask for themselves what the poster wants, why should anyone bother if the poster himself/herself/themselves can't even be bothered to give an idea of what exactly is desired from the pictures?

And what exactly in those pics, other than the breastplate, does the poster want copied? The devs have already stated they won't simply copy other people's work. Edit: Here is a question for the three of you: Why is asking for clarification on random pictures uploaded to the thread such a bad thing to you? Edit again: And here is another one: How long is this derailment for the thread going to last?

The KB in powers that have KB doesn't have a duration. KB enhancements enhance their magnitude.

I have never seen anyone ignore the Immunes Surgeons on any ITF I have participated in. They get steamrolled just like all the rest.

That was the only picture in the set that was apparent what was being asked for.

The OP reads to me the way it has already been answered. That the author wants to see mobs farther away, not that the author is running up against the render limit.

Because it amounts to free xp and inf'. Why do you think the green mitos stopped awarding anything in AE? Because they have no attacks and players would make maps with just green mitos for easy farming. So it just isn't going to happen.

Immersion has nothing to do with it. I'm not that gullible.

And Devouring Emanators fortify Devouring Earth mob defenses, damage resists, and even heal them. And they award no xp or inf' as well. Because they can't harm you. If the target is not capable of harming your character, then the target awards no xp or inf' upon defeat. Immunes Surgeons have no attacks at all. https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Cimeroran_Traitors#Immunes_Surgeon_2 It doesn't matter that they are healing other Cimeroran Traitors. It doesn't even matter that they can rez them on Advanced Mode difficulties. Because the Immunes Surgeons themselves are not capable of harming your character in any way at all. And to use your driver/police officer analogy, the Immunes Surgeon wouldn't be the vehicle driver, but the back seat passenger carrying the driver's medication.

And you get the xp and inf' rewards for defeating the mobs with them attacking you. And if the Immunes Surgeons rez the defeated Cimerorans, then you get the xp and inf' for defeating the mobs capable of attacking you again. The Immunes Surgeons themselves are completely harmless. And even with 2 or more present in a spawn, don't do any more than slightly slow down wiping out the Cimerorans. So why would they award xp/inf'? You can freely ignore them all you want and just drop the rest and be perfectly fine.

Most mob healers in the game have attacks they use against your character. Immunes Surgeons have no attacks at their disposal whatsoever. So other mob healers like Tsoo Sorcerers award xp and inf' when defeated. Immunes Surgeons, lacking any means to defeat you, do not.

And what part of the pictures is specifically being asked for? I'm not against posting pictures as references/examples, but it would be nice to have some indicator what in a picture the poster wants. There is no way the HC team is simply going to look at a provided picture and make the character shown, so explaining what elements are desired helps.

There is nothing to fix. The Immunes Surgeons don't award any xp or inf' because they don't have any attacks. They can't hurt you, so they aren't a threat to you, so they award no xp or inf'. Edit: And as far as the robots at the control? If you destroy the control, the robots all immediately deactivate. So you have an "easy" means of clearing them without having to defeat them. So again, no reason for them to award xp/inf' since they can be defeated without even fighting them. Unlike other summons that must be defeated even if the mob that called them is defeated and still award no xp or inf'. (Edit again: And typically the teams I've been on doing ITFs ignore the robots and just destroy the console. It doesn't take long if the entire team focuses on it other than to spam heals as needed. And it takes even less time and is safer to do if you layer debuffs on the console.)

If all you do is throw random pictures on the request thread, then there is no way to know what exactly you are asking for.
