Bad games/products are worked on and released all the time. Delusion is common. Games have to nail so much; look & feel, controls, sound, balance of challenge/reward on top of story & immersion being captivating and fun. The odds of getting it right are not high. Choosing to jump into a niche with comparable offerings can be dangerous versus creating something unique. While not interested in Ship of Heroes since early on, that team may have been better served leaning heavily into "a tiny indie team on a shoe string budget" and lowering expectations. Anthem - Great example of nailing almost everything but badly missing on just a couple basic aspects. Not rare: Judging from the long development cycle and the emphasis on the game being AAA, _____ likely invested over $200 million in the project - money they obviously can’t recoup. While _____ has improved the game since its launch, there is often no second chance to make a good first impression in the video game industry.

I wouldn't be against some MINOR cleanup. Move some stuff to Ouroboros if needed. Additional content, additional power sets should still be the focus of continued development while supporting the back end. I would not mind a new tutorial to level 50 arc being created.

Oh exceptions, false assumptions, and the fallacy of impatience.. (none of this is meant to offend, just a different perspective) "The population has dropped about 10% for whatever reason" Multi-boxers likely have an outsized impact, so is it really 10%, 3.33%, or most likely somewhere in between? Besides, population ebbs and flows with the calendar as does character creation. Prices: I made my first infamy capped marketer early on; crafting, converting, and selling generally at the asking price of 1.124-1.24M with the usual valuables being more. Prices since went way up, roller coastered, and most recently have come down. (1B build last year being 800M currently, sure that tracks.. but give it a month) I'll also point toward the Winter Pack exploit as finally having been mostly flushed from the system. (folks buying hundreds/thousands of these in my opinion did a number on the economics) (Why am I saying exploit? Simple: Too much guaranteed reward for too little effort or risk while not playing and adding little back to the game) ------ -- ------- A couple days versus a week or so. More patience can be rewarded. (It is good to know folks are noticing something trend wise, so thanks for that) Not in a hurry to sell, not in a hurry to buy. I've never taken the Reward Merits > Convertors > Cash route (I appreciate those that do). I use Reward Merits for Winters or similar if I'm missing one or two pieces of a build. Patience can save us 40-60%, sometimes even more. Convertors cost me 51-53K. I put in orders for a 100-150 to top off my stash and am willing to wait.

It was a surprise. Now you know. See above. Just for fun.

So long as existing controller user's setups aren't borked as a result of course.

I am pretty sure you can take any character (any level) into a level 1 match.

ish.. no. It is a big leap from what I asked, "..would it still be run as often?" to "If people are only running Numina to get the accolade". Yes. Choices, consequences. Not necessarily requirements seems very player friendly. The game is what it is. Folks like the game or not. We've been playing the game for how long? Are we playing a game we don't like for that long? It is a mix of elements that work in concert with each other.

Hello. You need anything, you let me know. @Troo Tip for New Players: It's hard to really mess up in this game. Try stuff. Go for it. Make mistakes. Get defeated. Take a Fly, Super Speed, or Super Jump power as soon as you can (Fly is fun, I like Super Jump). Other stuff: No need to hoard gear. (salvage, inspirations, recipes, enhancements) Being defeated is minor and how we learn what we can and can't do. Our character wakes up in a med bay and loses nothing. The run back to where we were is time to make a new plan. It's a pretty big game with layers, enjoy it. No hurry. Ask for help. Get stuck, ask for help. Run into a enemy you can't get past, ask for help. Don't understand something, ask for help. There's no 'right way' to play. Pro Tip: Editing costumes is free until level 10. Talk to (click on) a trainer like Ms Liberty in Atlas Park, select 'Customize Your Appearance', pick one of the costume slots and start a new look. (we get ~5 costumes to start)

- FIXED - Thank you!
