I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I have a concern that alterations to how Stealth and Taunt auras work may have gone slightly awry in at least one case. I'm testing on a level 40 Energy/Energy Brute and I am finding it is completely impossible to herd grays. Obviously not game breaking, but I'm just not sure it's working like it's supposed to.

At high levels all tanks have access to enough Regeneration buffs from sets, IOs, Incarnate powers, etc, they should have no problem keeping their health up.

You have to wind up to get the giant damage AS. Seems unlikely they’ll give you fast ET with no wind up.

Ya, maybe I wasn’t clear. The tohit debuff stayed.

Just discovered what looks like an effects display bug. I'm doing Save Matthew Habashy and Atlas from Arachnos! and sometimes the "stars in their eyes" effect from Flash Arrow will disappear (though the Tohit Down part remains). Might be unique to Arachnos base maps...

On another subject, on my Corruptor the info window for Entangling Arrow contains an error: You entangle a targeted foe causing their reflexes to become slowed and sluggish. This groudns them and causes them to have decreased movement speed and damage resistance. Weaker foes will also be immobilized. Recharge: Fast

I'm not suggesting it be changed back, I'm just saying, I think that's why it feels weird.

I think the problem is in the visually reinforced cognitive dissonance. You can SEE the field, but stepping into it does nothing. If it was, as before, a click buff, it would make more sense that it can't effect the caster.

Because the starting Gold zones are not a whole world, yes. I agree it would be cool if the game was set up to allow people to stay Gold side but it’s just not.

lol ok by “Praetorian” you meant someone who Never left Praetoria. You’re supposed to leave at 20. I thought you were saying characters who Started Gold side couldn’t do Number Six’s arc, which would be ridiculous.

What?! Why??

If possible make it a Click Self buff that spawns a new Seeker every 30 seconds for the duration.

I dunno, PB Build Up got changed into a longer lasting form that is also permaable, you can switch form in Light Form, and it really didn't cost me much inf to get where she is now. I feel like in terms of self buffs giving form synergy PBs are rather comparable to WSs. It's the pet that makes the real difference. ymmv I switch forms a LOT, so I don't feel restricted by the forms not progressing. They're just more tools in my kit.

In the mouseover tooltip on Warshade's Shadow Recall the word "teammate" is incorrectly spelled with only one "m".

I did a little more testing. I unlocked LRTP on a new toon by Exploring Atlas Park. I then used the Freebie menu to get the PD VIP badge and it did NOT add PD as a destination. This IS the expected behavior...BUT...it also means there is now no reward for Achieving the PD VIP badge. EDIT: Or does it? Is the Tiki Room still VIP only?

Yea, I think everything is working as intended, I was just really confused because of having characters from Build 1 who got LRTP by getting the PD badge in the Freebie menu.

Yeah, confusing behavior: Newly made toon: got LRTP by exploring Atlas Park, and then received PD as a destination. A little odd that fully exploring PD didn't get it, and weird that on most toons using the Freebie menu to get PD VIP didn't get it, but otherwise makes sense. Toon from Build 1: Has LRTP from PD Gold Club Member (via Freebie menu, somehow), has no PD explores, has ONLY ONE Explore badge (The Next Big Thing), yet has PD and Mercy. So maybe in between Build 1 and Build 2 something changed such that getting the PD badge from the Freebie menu no longer gives you LRTP? EDIT: After going over the patch notes and checking WHICH characters have it and which don't, that is my conclusion. So, it IS working as intended, I was just SUPER confused.

Getting all the explores in a zone gives you the accolade, which is what it says. However getting all the explores in PD did not get it, although Having gotten all the explores in PD, once I got all the explores in Atlas, LRTP unlocked with both Atlas and PD as destinations. It is unclear if it is a bug that getting the PD badge from the Freebies menu NOT unlocking the LRTP is a bug. It is possible that the one character I have that DID get it in that way did so during Build 1. I'm not sure.

Just made another new toon, street swept to 2 in Atlas, ran to PD in Kings and grabbed both Big Time and Trucker and did not receive LRTP. But I absolutely have one toon that has LRTP from getting the PD badge from the Freebie menu. So I am super confused because I appear to be seeing different behavior on different toons. I will continue to test.

I just made a new toon, at level one in Mercy, used the Freebie menu to get the PD badge and it did NOT unlock the LRTP. I then took the same toon to PD through Port Oakes and picked up the Big Time badge and the LRTP did not open. I went back to Mercy levelled up to 2 and still did not get the LRTP. I am now going to try another new toon, this time I will not use the Freebie menu at all, but I don't recall doing anything different on the one toon that did unlock it in the expected way.

I unlocked the PD badge via the chat bubble. On THAT particular character doing so got me the LRTP. And then I think that character got one badge in each zone, explaining why they are unlocked. I do not yet have an explanation for why that character got LRTP from the PD badge and others did not.

I think that explains some of it, but... I've made multiple new characters on Brainstorm, used the Freebie menu to grab the PD badge and in most cases did NOT receive the accolade. In at least one case I then went to PD and picked up the badges there and still did not receive the accolade. I'm going to go try it again now, I'll make a new toon.

As you can see THAT character DID manage to unlock the Pocket D destination.

I've also been seeing another possible bug related to the LRTP, some of my characters are getting zones unlocked without having achieved the Exploration Accolade for that zone.

Clearly not working correctly.
