All T9s should break mezz. But FupDup, that would be good design with deep foundational grounding. Inaccurate. FYI - MoG lasts just over 12 seconds (15s - 1.72s cast). That's very different compared to the proposed 30 or 40 second T9s.

Folks just don't factor in potential trade offs when they push for/demand/suggest changes. It is irksome. "We want 'X' change" which will result in many changes throughout a set requiring taking more of a set's powers to get the same effectiveness while reducing power selections outside of the set as well as the variety of slotting opportunities in a race toward same-same vanilla-ness as the sets are tuned to one specific predetermined play style that results in self-gimping if that design is not followed. Broken existing characters. Forced respecifications. Potentially marginal improvement for the impact on existing characters. It is not terrible design but it is design with blinders on. It is also not respectful of the game OR the player base as a whole. The process favors a select few. Hey look at that, y'all might actually be catching on to what's been happening to existing power sets for sometime now.

(PvE only) If you have to type it that many times, maybe there are bigger issues.

More deviations without justification. Screw players who happen into any of the PvP zones for a temp power, badging, or participating in zone events. +1 Are devs handing out t-shirts? "More same-same and less uniqueness" "Homogenization for the win!" "Let's fix it even though no one complains while we ignore other things"

Many interesting development choices. Quite a few that simply lack justification. Good luck.

Just running missions/story arcs, earning reward merits, and converting those reward merits into the infamy/influence you need is a pretty solid plan. If you're not aware (likely you are) Reward Merits can be earned, among other things, by doing Task Forces, Strike Forces, Trials, Exploration Accolades, Zone Events, Special Events, and helping defeat Giant Monsters. (Hamidon is 80 reward merits) Weekly Strike Targets can earn double reward merits. See schedule. For example: Completing the Lady Grey Task Force normally awards 37 reward merits. The LGTF as a weekly strike target awards 74 reward merits.

Correct. Test Server and Temporal Warriors are what I referred to.

Choices = Consequences As long as you are aware - Use it as little or as much as you like. Me: I do use it while trying to level. I don't use it when just playing. (we level too fast and can miss out on content) Example: I might grab a couple double experiences and run an initial story arc as well as a couple Death from Below (DFBs). A little jump start for a new character as I have created 100s of other characters. For a new player - They may miss a lot of education about the game as well as most of the game content. Did you know you can start a new character at level 50 and skip the whole game content and leveling up experience?

You mean you thought this thread moved from elsewhere in the forums? If so, I can see that. I am open to suggestions.

ack that font! Awesome seeing solution oriented stuff and player created menus and mods. Good stuff!! Disclaimer: I do not use or endorse this product

America is ~14,000 km from north to south. The indigenous peoples have upwards of a 1,000 different languages. - facts Create characters. Have fun. Don't be disrespectful. (distasteful or disrespectful characters and/or costumes could violate agreements players have acknowledged and may be reported {arguing with other players not required})

There appears to be a disconnect between the actual changes and your wants. (just fyi - maybe reread @macskull's reply) I do love seeing some dunning-kruger in the wild.

..level/difficulty the player selected. I'm totally okay with ±1

Look at Ukase throwing down. Discord = Lazy (I'm not judging, I get that it's easier for some) Having to convert Discord to Forum takes effort. Trusting Discord itself.. well that's another conversation. "Discord is a popular social media platform for kids and teens but parents should be aware of the risks Discord users face, from malware to cyber bullying." "most reviewers were let down by their experience overall." "need to verify by phone number too." "hot mess" "leaky security" "Cybercriminals claim access to 1.8 billion Discord messages through paid scraping service, exposing 35M users to harassment and privacy risks."
