They are aware and a fix is in the pipeline.

Consider this as a response to every suggestion made: "Thank you for your interest in the game and suggestions to make it even better! Your suggestion will be taken under advisement. Due to limited time and pre-existing schedules, even if your suggestion is adopted it may take years to make it into the game. Or your suggestion may just be tossed. Thank you and have a nice day."

"My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we'll change the world." Jack Layton

Some more Suggestions that made it into the game: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/1887-rikti-training-dummies-outside-of-the-warzone/ https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/2926-energy-aura-for-tanks/ https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/4123-put-the-statesman-task-force-and-lord-recluse-strike-force-back-as-they-were/ I was working my way from oldest to most recent, but I'm still in 2019 and I'm tired of looking. Also, can we please not resort to name-calling?

I sense declining excellence in this thread.

No.

I found one! COMPARE: TO:

I went to look and decided to start at the very end of the list, thinking that maybe something discussed long ago had filtered it's way up. When I saw that we had 381 pages of suggestion topics, I gave up that endeavor. However, allow me to flip the question on the group and ask you to take a look at the list of changes made in Issues 26, 27, and 28. (https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Issues) I think you will find in those lists things that have been requested by players over the last few years, as well as things no one asked for. But I've been giving this some thought and maybe there could be a "Brainstorm" subforum. Under traditional brainstorm rules you just state an idea with no commentary or critique. That may not be feasible with our forum tech because it would have to automatically lock the thread after the first post. No edits, no comments, no emojis.

I just went through all the non-sticky posts on page one of Suggestions & Feedback subforum. It's better than I thought it was going to be. Some agreed with suggestions, some disagreed, some offered explanations, some offered alternatives, a few people joked, very few were insulting. Maybe the "Idea Police" are more prevalent on older threads.

Guidance and coaching: Quoting and disputing everyone else and insulting them, even if backhanded, does not contribute to a healthy discussion that others want to join in.

If you hover over a name a little pop-up box comes up and on the bottom right is an "Ignore" button. If you used that on the handful of people that irk you, then you won't see their posts . . . until someone else quotes them. Actually, I'm not sure. Do you see quotes of people you have on ignore when sued by other posters?

If someone is being toxic, report them. We do hand out warnings and timeouts when people step out of line. But mere disagreement is not toxicity. You can accept or ignore the criticism. You can mount a defense to the criticism. . . or not. I understand that there are a handful of people that have problems with most suggestions. If you think their critique is invalid, ignore it. But maybe your idea is not as great as you think it is if you cannot overcome the criticism.

I've leveled a few Traps characters and found them to be fun and strong. Two things I found essential for fast moving teams were super-speed and sufficient stealth. I would frequently go in first, drop poison trap to hold everyone then acid mortar to debuff and create another target. On the MM, by the time I have done that, my FFG and pets have caught up and protect me while cleaning up. I was able to solo giant monsters on my Bots/traps before the changes to bots. I assume I will still be able to but I may need to respec. I don't think it needs to be revamped other than the already stated changes to Trip mine to make it useable without interruption. I think you should head over to the Mastermind subforum and find yourself a build for Big Jim Ultimo.
