Widower

quietly sneaks out from under Luminara's bed

So, uh, anybody need a travel agent? We're not called Homecoming for nothing, after all.

Please chill out.

Please keep your pants on; I have enough problems when you're wearing them that the scale of the difficulties here without your pants would be too horrible to contemplate.

Could we (to use a technical term) not?

Ah, here we go again. All I'm going to say is that the best solution to toxicity oft lies in oneself.

Well, I think all that could be said here has been said.

Confirmation bias, mostly.

While I cannot endorse the rest of Luminara's post, I do think this is an important point to consider. When your post gets hidden (especially in Focused Feedback, but anywhere) - it's not a personal insult! It's not any sort of warning! We're not out to get anyone*! And yes, as I think you've all seen, sometimes we do make mistakes. Some of the pruning was overaggressive, and for that we apologize. But we're not trying to censor anyone or whatever, we're just trying to enforce the Code of Conduct and (in the beta forum) the Focused Feedback guidelines. (Which, for the record, are guidelines. I have tried to err on the side of caution and let discussion happen when it is not disruptive, but if it is disruptive, well, what do you think happens?) * okay, I will admit we are out to get people who are consistently massive jerks on the forums - because that's our job! Really, if you don't want your posts hidden, just don't A) be a jerk or B) quote people who are jerks. It's that simple!

Don't worry, we also have no idea what the Council of Thirteen is.

I don't think there's much need to air this in public.

That's enough of this thread, I think. I look forward to seeing which thread you'll hijack next.

Goshdarnit Luminara, I was just about to come in and say this! Also, please lay off of each other's faces. You have been at this for a month. I would hope that the vitriol could therefore decrease.

I don't want to close this thread for good until after the beta is over so that it won't spill back into the focused feedback threads, but if cooling off voluntarily is not possible, then I think this'll be shut down for today. Come back in 24 hours.

Could you all ratchet down the aggression? Thanks.

Well, this thread has long passed it's sell-by date, hasn't it?

Before you all start blowing up the old inbox, yes, we know. We ban their accounts when we can, but as far as I'm aware, we don't have a lot of options beyond that. I hadn't checked up on their prices in a while though - you can buy 45 vet levels for $450! If there's one thing we can all agree on, that's truly absurd.

PSA: This thread is about reward merits, not other servers; take that conversation somewhere else.

It is too early for this. Can you all postpone your arguments for a few hours? Thanks.

There is no Secret Cow Level.

Rather than hide the debating about AE that is no longer on topic to this thread, I've moved it somewhere else. Please go debate about AE there. Please discuss the additions to AE made in this patch here.

Since the merit change isn't an AE change, strictly speaking, let it be discussed in the General Feedback thread the brand new Focused Feedback for merits. This thread can now just be for the various additions made. Thank you for playing Focused Feedback and enjoy your Veteran XP.

Once the next build comes out I think we'll set that up, yes.

This is not a thread about Plant Control, or Fire Control, or any form of control other than Symphony. If you want to post about powersets that aren't Symphony Control, do that somewhere else.

The attack typing thread is over here, folks.
