Great thread, thank you. I also do the day job for badges. But some of these I had not thought of pursuing.

You ignored that I work with polls and surveys IRL. I had to read your survey more than a few times to determine what answer to give. The more direct a question and the simpler the answers, the better. Polls should never have a bias. I will not permit you to play a victim. Accusing me of having these actions because I feel threatened, hardly. It is a fact that this topic has come up before ... by you.

Absolutely. But this is not the first time this topic has come up in the forums. ... By Rudra

What you are feeling is ... Accountability. ... Someone standing up to you and calmly saying no. No. You are in the wrong.

You seem angry. More angry than one should be. You know you are in the wrong. But I will applaud you if your whining and ranting gets you what you want. That is all that matters. What you want.

and neither do you. I said doubtful regarding Devs plotting against you. Honestly... imagine them in a room ..."Ok...how can we screw with Rudra." That was my point. Period. Your response here tells us what we need to know. I also shared my take. Neither for or against. Let the Devs decide. If you get what you want. Good for you. This also opens up the door for others to do the same. Poll has no value. Unless it is a simple Yes, No. or don't care,

Less options are better and so is less verbiage. Your poll is manipulative. The same as who the hell are you. Yet.... here we are. But you are not fooling anyone. You did it hoping...praying you would get a ton of support. Your poll is misleading and the results should be ignored

Beguile is nice to have, especially solo as an "oh $hit" leave me-alone power. The Rescue Response is another option to have if you are moving quickly through a mission and other teleports are not up. The Recharge from Predator Badge can be nice.

Oh god ... Can you imagine a power that invites you to conga Yes Please!

All this. I have been in some of the previous threads and find Rudra's perspective disappointing and hypocritical. It's disappointing because a number of ideas, perspectives, or simple wants come through the forums that Rudra will just .... squash simply because they see no value in it. That person gives up, and the idea is gone. Admittedly some are impractical or impossible( some of the suggestions for bases), but some have seemed interesting. It is hypocritical because it is something he wants. He wants it. He dismisses ideas if he doesn't want them or sees no value in them. But patrol xp... hatred You are right; patrol XP doesn't impact gameplay. It doesn't prevent you from doing anything in the game. I end up ignoring or not even noticing it on my characters. Rudra chooses to have it impact him. How? By making it a big thing he has to deal with. Some elements in the game bother me, but I find the means to ignore or solve them on my own. This, despite how obsessive my personality is. He is playing the noble victim; "this is being shoved down my throat", and "I feel like the devs are giving me the middle finger". For the first part: At the worst and most health-threatening point of my eating disorder, they shoved feeding down my throat. That phrase does not apply here. For the second part, it is doubtful. Imagine hating something so much in the game that you would go to these lengths. Hatred. Hating. Hate. In truth I hope the Devs give this a look and provide a definitive answer. Yes, we can or No, we can't. don't have to even explain why. So this can be put to bed. Done. No more. If he gets his way, applaud him. Well done. you whined, complained, raged, and got your way. I hope it leads other people to do the same. Express a hatred. Make it go away or make it happen. Perhaps we should start a weekly thread? However, I would prefer to write about what I truly love and value about the game. We have /jranger Now we have /turnoffpatrolxp

It absolutely is a flawed poll. I work in academia... research and so forth. We have to get approval of surveys used, etc, for them to have value. The IRB number establishes authenticity as it has been reviewed and is deemed not to lead to biased results. Again this poll does exactly that. No, we are not doing academic research, but I can't help but to view it through the eyes of someone who has to give approval to things like this. This poll leads the viewer towards a wanted answer. What is the question? Would you support and option to turn off patrol xp? yes no don't care. The only answer that would have value is yes. Most people would say yes to give support seeing as how much it matters to Rudra. I would say yes to get them to shut up or don't care because I generally ignore Patrol XP

Will be in the utility belt ... a la bat shark repellent

Coming very soon ... but not now

Yes.

Head to the Wiki and to Badges I use the Accomplishment list when I do Flashback to ensure I get the right badges. That is the hero list; there is a villain.

I got the Amazon Fire HD on sale (the one without ads) The Kindle app is great, and I get Amazon Prime videos and Netflix 🙂

I am going through my discord follows. Some have not posted in three years. 🤣

Could look at the Thugs set from MM and proliferate into a set

No. I love them. I literally hunch down as if I am there. *sarcasm*

I would certainly like base storage to be retooled somehow. Before someone responds ..."spaghetti code." I will! I also think it is how the map loads in. Many requests have come in for Base changes... so hopefully, they will get addressed.

FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEM!

It was doable. Hard, but doable. I feel that if we had gone +4, people may have quit. LOL, it may have been a habit. But yeah..., did nothing.

Yesterday, late in the day, I was on my SoA looking for something to do. Then I saw it "Hollows Story Arc to heading to Frost Fire ... LFM" Bingo... I join. At the start ... that dreaded phrase "+2/8 sound good?" A near-immediate from a teammate: "Sure!!". And off we go. A slog fest indeed, and many deaths. There were a few near-team wipes. I became very, very... very adept at backing up and firing. And running away ... lol (to live another day) Reminded me of the early days of Live when the enemies conning Purple to you meant something. But no complaints. And a lot of laughter. I mean, no complaints. No rage quits. We stuck together, which I enjoyed a lot.* Bed was calling, so I had to leave before Frost Fire. I hope they succeed. In truth ... I had a great time. We can become so wrapped up with how awesome our characters are. Mashing buttons... "Look at the big orange numbers!" I enjoy that ... the hard end-game content. We hear often that the game is too easy. Well, that is relative. Last night showed that. *some of you might be tempted to say, "My X/X AT would chew through all that easy peasy." If so, then you missed the point.

Gentle Reminder forum advice is ...well... not worth much. Play how you wish But Remember...pants are optional (when playing ... not IRL)

Roling an Arsenal/....something Controller and gonna crow about how awesome it it 🙂
