    I expect this thread to get locked, but before it does, I would just like to stress:

    If bullying or harassment is taking place in-game, then report it to a GM.

    You can use the /petition command to do this.

    This is a good answer.

     

    Anyway, locking.

    Hmm . . . fair point.

    That would be one of the psychic signature character's duty.

     

    Anywhoodles!  Thanks to @GM Arcanum and whoever else is involved in this event.   It's great to see another new type of event!  Variety is the spice of life, and all that.  And hey!  I actually stand a chance at winning this one!

    Just to be clear, though:  This contest operates on all Shards, correct?

    We did change the NPCs on every shard. With any luck, they'll all stick...

    Feel free to log in to your moderator account and sanction me or ban me outright then.

     

    Otherwise trying to tell me what I'm allowed to talk about is a waste of your time.

    He doesn't have one. I, however, do. Please do not engage in prosopophagia. It's impolite!

     

    Let's table this topic for now. I'm certain you will all be free to debate it in circles Soon™.

    Ouroboros needs to have its recharge time increased to 30 minutes to match Team Transporter. Players have been using it to teleport quickly between zones and that is NOT WHAT IT IS FOR. This is an exploit and needs removing asap. Just because players have gotten used to it is no excuse. Every time I join a PUG and someone drops an ouroboros portal I think to myself "Sweet! Time to do ouroboros content!". It never is. I always complain, and they always give the same excuse: "Xan we're on a taskforce, stop being weird." I'm sick of being called weird. Nerf Ouroboros.

    I cannot promise this. I can, however, promise a nerf for trolls. 😊

    As for the "actual point" of player powerset choices leading to a huge number of Fire Blast characters, have you thought that people could congregate to a set because throwing fire at something to do a ton of damage is just as thematic and genre-defining as super strength, in even more areas than just hero comics? That it's also a top performer no doubt helps, but it's such an easy and obvious thematic pairing that it's hardly surprising that it's the most-picked blast set even if it wasn't, much like Empathy is the most-picked even if its relative performance to other support sets doesn't make it the top performer for thematic reasons from outside of hero comics.

    Alternatively, a reasonably large number of players are exercising their inner pyromaniac in a constructive (if not particularly more socially acceptable) way.

    Dead serious, I think this should be added as a temporary power for the next Valentine's Day Event, and should do moderate damage so it isn't a guaranteed kill but if it does kill it buffs everyone. Gets a real long recharge too. I am fully aware this could be used as a troll tactic and care not. I reject your objections, I reject them!

    That would make the April Fools' Day Baby Riot look like a tea party.

    3. I have noticed a bit of a change over time in the community. When it first started, the community seemed more supportive and positive. But after reading some comments here, I can't say its gotten better. Only the Dev's and Moderators know for sure but where I'm sitting, its seemed to have grown more toxic. I do hope its just me seeing that, because if it is getting more toxic, then for me the game is loosing some of what made it stand out to begin with. The people. It wasn't like other games where the community was harsh, sometimes openly hostile to one another. But now, I'm not so sure. And how I see it, that has more to do with people leaving (if they are) than any updates/changes/fixes that have been done.

    Eh, this isn't worse than when we tested Page 3 a year ago - go back and read those threads; you'll see there are a lot more fireworks than there are here. But I wouldn't particularly worry about this place turning into the WoW forums, if for no other reason than we actually bother moderating this place.

     

    I might suggest, however, that if anyone should want their feedback to be taken seriously, it might be wise to avoid implying that we have some sort of dastardly plan to destroy the game. Nothing could be further from the truth.
