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.

Just as an addendum: this is a feedback thread, not a guessing game of the devs' motivations.

I am once again asking that people use the appropriate threads for feedback.

PSA: Please post things that have their own thread in their own thread, so that the devs can see all feedback where they expect it. I can't move posts between threads. 😞

Ye, I am pleaed to announce that with thi patch, we are removing the aforementioned letter from the game. That letter will neither be part of the game' content nor be available for ue by player. We hope you tand with u a we tep forward into a brave new 25-letter alphabet world.

Hello. As we enter into yet another fun and exciting beta cycle, we would like to lay down some best practices for ensuring that this process is as productive as it can be, inspired by both dev and player feedback from previous cycles. (As I hope is obvious, the Code of Conduct and all its rules about being excellent to each other still apply as they do everywhere else.) 1. ASSUME GOOD FAITH. The devs do not have a dastardly plan to destroy the game, nor are they trying to spite you personally. Acting as if they do is not useful feedback. 2. BE CONSTRUCTIVE. Going on about how the devs are idiots and you have the One True Vision for the game is not helpful; trying to engage with the changes and the reasons given is. 3. BE SUBSTANTIVE. If you want to say how great something is and nothing else, there's a thumbs up react. On the other hand, if all you really want to say is "this whomps! you suck!", the thumbs down react exists. 4. DON'T JUST READ THE PATCH NOTES, TEST THE CHANGES. It can be easy to misread something and come to a conclusion separate from how the change actually functions. Even if you're sure you are going to hate something, it's best to get some actual data from it rather than just go off a gut feeling. Your conclusion will have far more power behind it if you can back it up with experience! 5. DON'T GIVE FEEDBACK ON OTHER PEOPLE'S FEEDBACK. You're here to discuss and debate the changes with the devs, not each other. The devs are big people (Huge, even) and can stand up for themselves. Violations of these guidelines or the CoC will result in hidden posts; repeated or flagrant violations may lead to harsher penalties. We will be keeping a pretty close eye on any points of particular conflict, so keep these in mind.

You know, I was inclined to let this thread stay open at first, but reading it has disabused me of that notion. Come back when there's an actual trailer to discuss, or something.

Okay, I'm going to tell you all a little secret. If there's a suggestion made you really hate, do you know what's the best way to get people with colorful names to notice it? Yes, that's right, it's to make so many posts about how much you hate the suggestion that the thread grows three pages in an hour or two. If you don't want something to happen, perhaps you're better off ignoring the suggestion so nobody ever sees it. In other words: chill out.

This thread has pretty thoroughly derailed beyond my poor power to correct it, so I will lock it. That said, if you are being harassed in game or by means of the forums or the official discord, we do have some power to correct that. Please feel free to report such conduct.

Doxxing is against the server rules, though, so don't do it!
