That was my bad. The information you posted was excellent and super helpful.

Question: It sounds like you were more involved earlier this go around than maybe in the past. Did that in anyway impact your understanding and acceptance of the changes?

Okay, that enough for me. RubyRed I actually agree with some of what you are saying. Too many cooks in the kitchen to early is a problem. That said, I am going to have to call bs on the if/then straw-man arguments. Folks asking for transparency could be looking for just a better general understanding & communication. The timeline of the above mixed with recent Weekly Discussions, Focus Feedback, general suggestions.. It just doesn't jive. I am giving credit for some inadvertent items not being intentional. I don't feel this thread is the right place, but I am willing to have an open discussion elsewhere.

This could be a good topic for the future. Page 6/Issue 27 Beta is too far along. Focus Feedback topics are mostly closed. Please don't waste this weekend on in hopes of impacting the changes. Want to try out the new stuff and see if anything is bugged, have at it. (it's actually been that way the whole time, this is clear to me now..) Good luck HC Team..

Yes. It's natural for folks to think: "Look, others are agreeing with me." "Why are decision makers not listen to us?" "Oh there is another channel?" "That must be what the decision makers are listening to.." Bopper, you have the best intentions. No one should think otherwise. I am merely answering the question and explaining.

While that might seem obvious to some, it is not the case for many, and how would someone new know?

Just because you *give* feedback doesn't mean it'll be agreed with or put in, either right away or at all. That does not mean it's ignored. @Greycat That's pretty much the definition of being ignored. Is there some conspiracy, no. That's just silly. HC team = volunteers, a small team trying to do a good job, no one is trying to wreck anything, they aren't perfect.1 That said, there is confusion about when and how to participate in the process. Waiting until after design changes have been made and privately tested for months AND THEN asking for feedback is misleading. Someone mentioned how much less controversial the Titan Weapons changes had been compared with some of the others.. This begs the question of why? Transparency pops of from time to time as a question or comment. On that topic I have always sided with the HC Team as I have again in this post ( see 1 ). That said, maybe there is something to hear. yep.. @Bopper fyi, the first I heard of this was Tuesday. Just didn't see the post. Also, there is no mention of using Discord in the Beta Focused Feedback threads. None. It has become apparent that's not the type of feedback they were looking for.

Yum. I like it.

You've inspired a new thread. "Lockdown 2020: Badges, New Content & Issue 27" (work in progress)

2020 will not be missed.. (could use a limerick here) Here are somethings to do while in lockdown or under new restrictions. Never explored all the zones and got the badges.. well this ties into a new game function that's coming soon. Here's some great suggesting on the topic: Never explored some of the exceptional player created content? Here are some to check out: Looking for some in-game activities or organized groups? Here ya go: Never tried PvP? Well.. (just kidding) New to the game and just looking to get started? Great tips can be found at: Maybe someone's just looking for a new look or costume. Want to test out the new stuff in Beta? Please feel free to help collaborate, add suggestions or additional items. Lots of stuff buried in the forums that could use a bump. This will be edited to include more links and instructions.

Feedback closed today. There is a tighter timeline than some may think.

I was thinking the same thing. Additional promotion of the player created AE arcs maybe combined with piecemeals work. There is actually a ton of new content, it just needs a little promotion.

Ice/Dark is a great combo One of my favorites is Rad/Dark (lots of controls and utility) but it does not put out the same level of damage as Fire or Ice.

As much of the continent heads into additional lock downs and restrictions. Some bonus event or new content would go along way for the community.

Holiday surprise from the dev team?

Sooner than Soon™©℠® Big announcement.

Hard core mode would be fun for some folks. Of course it would only be optional and there would be no additional rewards for playing that way. There are clever folks involved with the game. There are lots of ways to set something up. For example: A temp power could be used for those wanting to play hardcore mode. Then set the parameter for the temp power to be removed. Could even then award another temp for the defeat. It's not rocket science.
