All devs play hero side blasters tends to explain a lot of what has happened over time.. so I've heard.

yeah... when a character hits 3 years without login.. BUT even, those are not the initial target of the potential change as was explained. Thousands of level 1s which were grabbed and never played will be made available. That's all that might be happening somewhere down the line with clear and substantial notification.

nay.. dare I say Brutes aren't the best farmers, just the easiest. note: Rad/Fire Brutes are simply nerf bait as Irradiated Ground is in the shop to be fixed. I agree that second or third place across multiple categories can result in a high aggregate score.

and a dev somewhere be like:

Is there one thing Brutes are currently best at?

@cranebump I would favor a specific contact for player created content. Even a terminal simply with preset filters for Devs Choice could be a decent starting point. @Clave Dark 5 This is the way.

New Incarnate abilities might be on the horizon. I'm not saying horde your Empyrean but a new use may be approaching fyi. Currently EMs can be transferred to another character on the same account.

What's an AE building?

updates are fun

"Soon" should have been one more week. @The_Warpact you would know..

I don't remember asking you. Please butt out of this private conversation. 😛

Which is why I thought the first solution was more even handed. Middle ground could have been to remove Empyreans from the AE Vet Reward table. Keeping Threads, CC Tokens, and Respecs. Maybe add threads to compensate. But this would be more work and less intuitive. Level Veteran Badge Costume Change Respec Grant Empyrean Merits Inc.

Merits 960 Threads https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Veteran_Levels But as far as what to do with Empyreans post Page 4, transfer to alt, use at Incarnate Vendor, hold for future Incarnate Abilities, and/or lobby for more items at the iVendor.

AE Devs Choice gives all rewards and drops still happened. Never would have needed to leave the AE building. If someone's sole purpose was to repeat the same fire farm map for iVet rewards, yes it had an impact. That said, all rewards were available except very specific subset of some Incarnate rewards from some AE content. Empyreans can be earning in AE Devs Choice correct?

If you have all the alts and all the incarnate teirs, then you are correct. Incarnate emps/salvage/threads/shards have little value if you don't want items at the incarnate vendor. The first change was more even handed in my opinion. But the AE fire farm wailing over the 'need' to not just earn vet level but also all the rewards while AFK won out. I solo a lot also. I just do it in PvP zones where the rewards are higher.

Are you saying that the number of Emyreans earned is too much? Nah, we were intended to experiment a little with Incarnates and mistakes do happen. As others have said, Empyreans can be transferred to another character. This is the use for 'extra Emps'. If a player has enough I believe they technically can T4 a brand new 50 which has zero vet levels. (maybe not the most efficient... we'll likely see more on this post Page 4) New Incarnates are going to be a thing at some point. (not to be confused with Soontm)

Were you intended to run all the toggles all the time? No. (this is the truth about Dark Armor) Dark is the swiss army knife of armors. Use too many features at once and it c a n b e c u m b e r s o m e.. Some of the toggles could be considered situational. Some of the toggles pair better with some secondary sets than others. With significant investment and tactics we can run all the toggles we want.

oh geez. lol Don't forget Demonic Aura for those rare times recharge gets floored. frontrunner.. lol

#1 Don't skip Placate This was one of the most powerful abilities in the game when it was single target. Now it is an AoE. It allows escape and can also increase damage through crits. Put a couple recharges in it. Now you're Stalkering. #2 Lean into the additional effects of your primary If you pick a primary that has +def, pair it with a secondary that is defense. If you pick a primary that has crowd control like stuns, try and use it, don't ignore it. #3 Pairing Primary/Secondary Look for synergies. Energy Melee loves recharge. Are there any secondaries which have +rech? Suggested combos Energy Melee/Energy Aura (hits hard, one of the best combos in game currently) Electric Melee/Shield Defense (AoE goodies [which don't break hide]) Hope this helps. Stalkers are fun.

Would you like to see Incarnate salvage/threads/shards transferable between characters on an account?

I would like to get some folks thoughts before having it locked. There might be a good specific suggestion that comes from a general discussion. AE having additional rewards added on Homecoming has created the need to adjust rewards beyond AE. Maybe that's not the best route.

So a player could breakdown salvage to threads and then transfer accepting some loss in the breakdown. This makes sense, I good with straight threads transfer. Threads to Emps would be cherry on top and/or maybe too good for creating rares, v-rares. Definitely could close the Emp to RMs to $$ account transfer.

I think it does. Adding some i-salvage transfer abilities between characters would be beneficial.

At this point is there a consensus of what AE should be best at providing what rewards? AE is convenient. (I guess so is Ouro) AE provides on-demand content. (I guess so does Ouro) AE provides efficient farming of straight infamy. AE provides farming of enhancements. AE provides farming of salvage. AE provides farming of recipes. AE provides farming of AE tickets. AE provides farming of xp. These seem okay with most folks. As long as it doesn't somehow result in some extreme result? I think so.

It's okay to chime in with an opinion and walk away. This is a safe place. 🙂 I'll put you down for Yes, and No for transfers between accounts.
