it was almost certainly the very first time you entered and exited that map, so if it happened sometime ago, it might’ve been buried somewhere down your list of most recent. Or even off the list by that point I suppose.

look in your badges. You probably got it. I have never had any trouble getting this badge, and I have never had to fight any mobs or spend any time on the map. You enter the map, you leave the map. You have the badge. It doesn’t necessarily tell you that you got the badge, so you need to check and see.

Can't ignore duration, radius, range, and level of availability in your analysis. I don't disagree that on a 1 to 1, Sleet and FR are better than Tar Patch. I wouldn't hate TP getting a reduction in animation time. Other things could change to make the power nicer to use. But they would likely come with costs of one kind or another.

The patch lasts 15 seconds I guess, but the debuff may last 30 seconds? I dunno.

There 100% HAVE been suggestions made in that forum that have eventually made it into the game itself. The forum does serve the purpose the OP asked for. It just ALSO lets other players comment on those suggestions.

Allowing incarnate powers in non-incarnate content, and in below level 50 content, has been a much bigger problem for the game than IOs in my opinion. probably only the alpha slot should apply from level 45 through level 49, the other incarnate powers should only be available in level 50+ content, and maybe even only in incarnate content.

Oh yeah, this definitely still happens, and I’ve reported it multiple times, but it doesn’t seem like anyone has figured out why it’s happening.

"I personally don't play this content" != "This content is all but abandoned". Universalizing your own experience is almost always wrong.

This could be false, but my understanding was always that they were trying to avoid potential copyright violations.

Making animations is one of the most difficult and time consuming parts of making new powersets. Spending time on them just for the sake of ONE armor set is probably not a good use of time.

With recent changes to the way placate works, I don’t think it’s that important whether you have defense or damage resistance on a stalker anymore. They do just fine either way.

The resurrection power, among other things, is free, if you earn it with a badge.

This is only sort of true for Armor and Buff/Debuff sets. It's definitely not true of Attack or Control sets.

They don’t continue to hover away forever. It stops at like 60 ft or something.

Every power should be worth taking. It doesn't mean every power is required. Take it if you want, skip it if you don't feel you need it.
