again nothing keeping you or anyone from ignoring posts you don't like. Not a fan of paying for batteries either. much better ways to create inf sinks in the game in my opinion.

it works from inside a base as well

no one is preventing you from ignoring posts you don't like. listening to opinions is a good thing because you'll learn something from them that you probably didn't think of yourself. healthy debate isn't a one way street.

from my observation simplicity was never part of the equation. any comments or suggestions that asked to have a single, simple power were shot down and those who suggested it were attacked for their feedback. what should've been a simple copy/paste of the Oro portal power turned into a jumbled mess.

People have been using Oro to bypass travel and that has no investment. I understand the thinking behind the changes I just don't agree with it.

yes exactly. there's too many things now. instead of a menu next time, maybe think of a simpler solution. agree to disagree

please stop injecting stuff into my posts that isn't there. I never said to keep the macro as is. I get that some people really like these changes and that's great. some people don't and the whole "fast travel menu" is a good indicator that there's too many options now. sometimes less is more.

You're welcome to disagree and I never said they didn't listen to any feedback at all so you're misreading. people provided suggestions a single replacement, not 4 or more and none of that got implemented. again not saying I don't appreciate the work that went into it. just think it's overcomplicated, burdensome and expensive now for something that didn't need to be.

Feedback that went against the grain didn't seem to matter at least to me. their ideas were set in stone and there wasn't much discussion other than "like it or leave it", so don't really see how having more people provide feedback would have mattered. what should have been a simple copy/paste of the Oro portal functionality to make a new base portal was turned into a jumbled mess IMO of a bunch of different stuff we really didn't need to add "time/inf sinks". there was a simple direction to go with this and it seems like they are dead set about overcomplicating it. I really appreciate the effort and work that went into what they put together as I'm sure it's a lot of work so thanks for that, just kinda a "thanks but it's not what I wanted or needed" kind of thing. maybe next time they'll engage the players in the design process first. agreed and not to mention the inf cost across lots of alts to get the P2W power. this made bases a lot more expensive than it needed to be IMO PUGs are still going to want you to have LRT or whichever of the new fast travel things, so nothings changed.

You can't fix stupid. people don't know how to play this encounter, so educate them ahead of time or roll with a group who understands what to do to get the badge. No need to change anything with this in game.

Can test it in another 5000 missions and it still won't make sense. SK makes much more sense as a cone since its a spinning kick. But I get that a different opinion is a bad thing here. agree to disagree

Empathy is more of a pre-30s set IMO. Only time I remember them being worthwhile at 50 was for Hami raids.

Rather than outright whiffing which sucks, why not try something like a glancing blow that does less damage but still lands?

No thanks.

Encouraging LRT as the new travel hub kinda kills bases, doesn't it? Unless that's the overall goal for this stuff?

They certainly didn't have a problem adding more and more VFX spam, so this couldn't be too much of a concern to them.

very humble of you brother, but speak for yourself. definitely don't want some doofus with zero imagination to steal the name of an alt I've been working on but had to drop when I got the orders.

So long as people serving in the military who are out on deployment can be made exempt, go for it.

Not that I don't disagree with the post, do we really need to test Eagle's Claw as a cone to know that it doesn't make sense as a cone?

I hear you man. I don't think the way you're playing is wrong. if it works for you, go for it. I also don't think you shouldn't post your observations here. that's what being part of a community is all about.

Ok great for you and I'm happy for you. I wasn't suggesting my way is better than yours. far from it. please don't inject stuff into posts that isn't there. I was only offering a different opinion to explain some people find running all the mission content again and again is just as boring. there's no right or wrong. do what makes you happy.

Right but how many times are you going to run those missions before they get boring? Defeating Frostfire for the second time isn't adding anything new to the experience.

I tell you what tinkering with "balance" and not adding anything new for 50s to do is going to drive a whole lot more people away than PLing ever will.

I don't think he was.

Sure, that happens too. from what I've seen here on these forums over the past year though? definitely a wanting to cancel anyone who disagrees problem. just my 2 inf.
