No, no. They're being shouted down. How dare you think otherwise. Remember, whenever anyone makes a suggestion, no matter how ridiculous or mathematically incorrect, we're supposed to support their suggestion and agree that it's just fabulous! Anything less is gatekeepingism and tryhardphobia and something something their feelings. Look, bottom line is that we're not required to agree with a suggestion. There's even a stickied post by a moderator that specifically says we're not required to agree with a suggestion. Disagreeing with a suggestion isn't "shouting down" or "gatekeeping" or anything else but disagreeing. Welcome to Earth, not everyone is going to agree with you. Your life is going to be a lot easier if you just get used to that little fact.

It's a video game. There is going to be nonsense. You have been warned.

There's billions of people on this planet and Hollywood can't find a couple of new younger people to star in their shows? Please. There's no reason to cast 76 year old Arnold Schwarzenegger, 82 year old Harrison Ford, or 94 year old Clint Eastwood as the star in an action movie. An 80 year old man leaping over cars and acting like Rambo just looks stupid. Hollywood wouldn't have to lean so heavily on these geriatric movie stars if they had better writing and directing and didn't have to rely on nothing but name recognition to sell tickets. What I was talking about specifically was this new tendency they have to cast actresses in their 30s or 40s as someone in their 20s. It just looks silly seeing a 38 year old actress posing as a 24 year old medical student. I recently even saw a video where an actress said that Hollywood is not hiring attractive women in their 20s. In previous decades there were always new, younger stars starting their careers in breakout roles. Not anymore.

I really liked RDJ as Tony Stark, but casting him as Doctor Doom just reinforces my belief that Hollywood is just becoming more weird by the year and actively trying to keep new people out of the business. The action stars are all in their 70s, the "young attractive" starlets are all in their 30s and 40s, and the writers are the same talentless hacks who've been churning out uninspired trash since the 90s.

I already addressed this. I do not believe that MMs, or any AT, should receive any buffs specifically for Hard Mode content as I believe that it defeats the entire purpose of Hard Mode. Outside of Hard Mode content MM Henchmen with 100% Defense and/or 90% Resist aren't being killed instantly the way you described in your previous post. You, and other posters who've talked about MM Henchmen in Hard Mode content, are essentially trying to set up a situation where MM Henchmen seldom, or never, die. Doing that would be a huge buff for MMs even if only in Hard Mode content, and if it applies in all content then it would make FF and Sonic nearly worthless. There are many things an MM player can do to increase how long their henchmen survive. From power picks to placement of henchmen on the battlefield to waiting until the tank has aggro before ordering henchmen to attack. And I think that discussions about henchmen survival should focus on that instead of trying to convince the developers to buff MM henchmen.

They need buffs in Relentless? Isn't that the entire point behind Relentless? To see if you can survive? Giving any AT a buff at certain difficulty levels literally defeats the entire purpose of that difficulty level. Once again, try playing an MM with the Force Field or Sonic secondaries. Those secondaries make MM henchmen much tougher. But no, you all want to take the more offensive secondaries but you still want your henchmen to be tough. The buff that you want for MMs will make FF & Sonic completely worthless. Why do you want to completely invalidate those powersets?

I've got multiple level 50 MMs. I had multiple level 50 MMs on the retail servers. I feel the need to mention this because if I don't someone will respond and claim that I don't know anything about MMs, or that I hate them, or something else equally ridiculous. You clearly put a lot of thought and effort into your post and I like your post even though I disagree with most of it. I do agree with Recall command, Group travel powers and stealth, and a level shift for the pets. I see those as really more QoL improvements rather than straight up buffs. I do not believe that Hard Mode, or Challenge Mode, or whatever it's being called now days, is justification to buff any class or class pets. Same with Incarnate Trials. These specific bits of content are supposed to be really difficult, they're difficult for other ATs and they should be difficult for MMs as well. EDIT: Also, I've see a TON of suggestions this year about making MM pets tougher. The problem that I have with this is that if the devs do this it makes Force Fields and Sonic secondaries worthless. The entire point behind those secondaries is to make the pets much tougher at the expense of the offensive powers that are in other secondaries. Bottom line: if you want your pets to be tougher take /FF or /Sonic. .

Wait! You're not saying the developers ignored your feedback are you? How dare you!

Wherein Ryan George describes the plot of the show and uses satire to show why some of us think certain parts didn't make sense. Regardless of how you feel about the Acolyte you should watch this video. It's super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Very true. I really enjoyed Wanda Vision, but the first two episodes definitely aren't the best. Kinda like the first two seasons of ST:TNG.

Oh? And just which type of person would that be?

Hmmmm... that's not suspicious at all. Nope. (These are Google reviews)

I think the bigger question is: why were they drug testing sharks? Employment screening?

Did a Homecoming developer actually say that to you? I think you're probably correct, but I don't remember a Homecoming dev actually posting anything like that.

You're close, but you just missed the mark. In the past posts with negative feedback often disappeared, and warning points acquired. Also, fellow players would attack and insult people who posted negative feedback, but when we returned said insults in kind our posts alone disappeared and more warning points were acquired while those that had blatantly attacked and insulted us got nothing. But the absolute worst part of all of this is the blatant gaslighting. The continued insistence that none of this happened and that I should just go ahead and post my feedback so that "my voice will be heard."

I haven't done any testing this time around. Because of that I also haven't posted in the feedback threads. I have been reading them though and I have to say that they do seem really calm in comparison to the last couple of rounds of testing and feedback threads. It seems like everyone's missed my point though, and that has really surprised me.

Loaded or not the person that I was replying to claimed that all naysayers are trolls with a sense of entitlement, a claim that I dispute. I grasp the concept of objectivity quite well, as in I can disagree with a particular change but still be grateful that the devs maintain and work on Homecoming. If the devs add a change that's on the beta server, and they start a thread asking for feedback, and my feedback is "I've tested this and I don't like it for this reason and I don't think it should go live. Nay, nay I say!" Now I'm a naysayer and that means, according to this person and many others in the past, that I'm a troll with a sense of entitlement. So on top of the discouragement of feeling like testing is a waste of time due to the appearance of the devs not really listening to feedback unless it comes from certain people (something that I admit is emotional, subjective, and possibly quite wrong, but a feeling nonetheless), we also have to put up with players who call us trolls with a sense of entitlement simply because we disagree with something that's on the test server. Since my last question wasn't acceptable because of how "loaded" it was how about this one: What's my motivation to test when I'm just going to be called a troll with a sense of entitlement if I don't agree with and celebrate every change the devs make?

Believe it or not I can be against a particular change or addition and still be grateful for everything that the developers have done to keep Homecoming alive and improving. This isn't a rhetorical question I'd really like an answer: What's the point behind the developers starting feedback threads if the only feedback we're allowed to give is that we love every change and we agree with everything the devs say and do?

"Your terms are acceptable."

If your character dislikes cops that much then why is he fighting bad guys in Kings Row? If you dislike cops that much then why are you trying to inject your real world beliefs into the fictional Paragon City universe?

Recoloring a powerset to use it for something else creative and great! I just have an issue with allowing people to completely remove the theme from a powerset. If you use the Stone powerset you should expect to see some Stone. If you use an Ice powerset expect to see some Ice. If you don't like either of those then recolor them or play Willpower or Invuln. I especially take issue with people wanting to remove the FX from the Sorcery Origin Pool. The entire point behind the Origin Pools is to have powers with FX representative of that particular origin. And I think that most of the people who want to have a no-FX version of Sorcery really just want to have a no-FX version of Rune of Protection.

We talked about this already... didn't we? Long time posters are using alt accounts to troll the forums with hot button topics. This has been happening for awhile now.

And remember folks, powersets aren't allowed to have a theme. You can be stone without looking like stone. Fire without being covered in fire. Bio without looking like a pile of poo. Yep, we have to have a non-FX version of all of those sets because powersets aren't allowed to have a theme. People want to min-max to the sky without any downsides whatsoever. So when will I be allowed to use Aid Other without that silly tricorder? That should be first on the list before making the SORCERY POOL look like something that doesn't have to do with sorcery. .
