I Dream of Greeny

First off, love the feature Arachne, can't wait to have them following me around! I spent time testing out the overhauled GMs vs their current counterparts under the same conditions (two person team using a Therm and a Rad Def), and am happy to report most of the ones I've managed to find so far take 3-4 times longer to clear, while posing a greater challenge thanks to their individual changes. Should mean that the days of two or three people coming in and clearing the gms in under a minute without people getting a chance to join should be over. The size increase also helps immensely. I'm looking at you Kraken, literally. The drop rate for the recipes seems okay, hasn't happened yet but it's just a matter of time. The new whatsits frags drop just fine. Though admittedly leaving the recipes up to luck doesn't sound TOO bad either, assuming they can be listed in the AH without issue, like the old Tech Wing and Piston Boot recipes.

Not a fan of, "Buttstroke" either. It may be the correct term and even an unnecessary and avoidable double-entendre, the real issue for me is that it's inconsistent. The Pummel power has been around since legacy. It's literally the same power, there's no reason there should be two different names. Note the similarity in each powers description: Pummel - "You can smash your opponents in close combat with the butt of your sub-machine gun to deal minor smashing damage. Pummel has a high chance to disorient your foe for a brief time." VS. Buttstroke - "A smash with the butt of your rifle with a high chance of disorienting" It's 2023 and we don't kink-shame so everyone should feel free to buttstroke as long as it's consensual. But in the same update that Epic Pool names are being streamlined and VEATs are even being updated yet no powers are being renamed, so many potentially annoying conversations could be avoided if we just called a "pummel", well, a "pummel".

Darmian does make an excellent point. My suggestions are tiered for convenience and to better convey what my personal favorite would be. None have been suggested so far from what I can tell, and none should be the names of existing badges.

@IDreamofGreeny || Get off my Lawn

As someone fresh to the Arena and basically PvP in general, I would like to volunteer as the Albatross that will support two kind players and give them the edge they need to get those Respec recipes. I can have anything slotted and alpha'd for the tournament, however I have the following sacrifices at fifty: Trollers: Ill/Time, Mind/Cold or Mind/Emp Fenders: Rad/Son or Poison/Psi Blaster: Beam/Em Dom: Mind/Fire Edit: I'll be withdrawing, best of luck to all teams!

You can transfer even if a name is taken. Do you open a lot of superpacks?

Ambiguous accusations like this seem very sus to me. Didn't go over well in high school, don't go over well here. Honestly, there are five shards, each with their own distinct culture. If I don't like one, or it doesn't like me, I try one of the others. Not everyone is going to like you, no matter where you go, and any expectation otherwise is unfortunately a misplaced sense of entitlement. Everyone who does their own thing eventually finds like minded people to play with, or not if they prefer to solo. Now if there was actual harassment, write a report and deal with the GMs.
