  1. Late to the party here, but I appreciate your pointing that out. I, for one, absolutely abhor having enforced cooldown times. I also absolutely abhor being forced to do trials. I'll do them occasionally, but I really, really hate raids as a rule and can't take doing them often. I really don't want to be FORCED to do them because I can't do anything on my own, or better still, paired with my husband and a few friends. We have time to chat, take breaks if we want, and otherwise, just enjoy the journey. I noticed on a recent Reddit thread that the Reunion folks were touting their scheduled iTrials and such, but the problem is, not everyone is on the same time schedule. Due to family and job constraints, it's not always going to be possible for me to participate in a regularly scheduled raid. That's why I find something like the 24 hour cooldown infuriating. I don't have time every 24 hours to play, but I might have several hours in *one* day to play, and I'd like to take the most advantage of it. Instead, my progress would be achingly slow to the point of frustration -- and I'm someone who took almost a year and a half to level her first character to 50 on Live, so that's saying something. MMOs should be flexible, so you can play when you're able to play, and not be penalized because your schedule isn't on the usual American 9 to 5. HC has done this beautifully. I deeply appreciate HC's flexibility in that regard. I have times late at night that I have to be up for family reasons, and it's great to know I can solo a little AND make progress,. I don't have to worry about a job call pulling me away during a raid time, so I end up missing out on salvage, and I don't have artificial limits shoved upon me. HC's a lot more casual friendly. This is good. Edit: Just had a chat with my husband aka fellow player of CoH since beta, and one more thing came to mind. If there was one thing that truly frustrated us both on Live, it was the lack of money and how hard it was to get salvage to make anything. How can you play with a system when you can't afford to buy multiple 40K Luck Charms? The description of Reunion's market just gave me negative cold chills of memory. I've very much enjoyed what HC's done with the market. It's not hard to make money, but for casual gamers like us, it means we're not continually scraping or playing underpowered characters when we're on teams. We can afford to play around with IO combos we might not have done otherwise and really explore different builds, and that's not something we were EVER able to do on Live. Not trying to knock Reunion here, but a lot of what they seem to be touting were the things that caused the most frustration for me on Live. I saw someone on a Reddit thread praising Reunion for forcing people to unlock costume options, and that's another thing I don't get, either. You always end up with the people who have the leisure to play all the time with all the good things, lording it over the have-nots. No, thanks. Negative nostalgia moment for me there. Thank you again for the terrific (and very nicely unbiased) summation! It's very much appreciated.
  2. Did something change? I just donated and it's a little over halfway there. As always, thank you all for keeping the City alive and well!
