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.

Well I have several characters on Brainstorm now that are not receiving the PD teleport on their LRTP.

On the test server it is actually faster. Hasn’t gone live yet.

Not completely sure, but I think maybe Pocket D on the Long Range Teleporter is only being awarded on Villains? Whether it's Villains/Heroes or something else, Now unlocks Pocket D as a Long Range Teleporter destination (and unlocks LRT if you don't already have it) is definitely not working as intended.

I can accept the EMP field not buffing the caster. I can NOT accept it not buffing the MM casters pets. That's ridiculous.

Given that they have already shortened the animation for total focus, I actually think asking for the same thing for incandescent is a very very reasonable thing.

Looks like it's Gale and Caltrops only.

That’s not how it works. The second power in the pool is still the second power.

Those who had Recall Friend are getting saved the respec.

Can someone help me understand what's up with the ingame numbers? Ingame it looks like Barrage is the best and Bonesmasher the worst DPA on every AT except Stalkers (for whom Energy Punch looks like the best and Barrage the worst). Is that accurate or am I just not understanding something?

How did you determine this?

Probably Fold Space should impose a debuff that makes it impossible to Fold Space on the same mobs again within a certain time period. Say 20 seconds, maybe.

I don't think they are going to get turned into an actual pet. My minimal suggestion is: Add to PS an Enhanceable Defense Debuff effect similar to other PB attacks AND make the Seekers each provide an (Unenhanceable but moderately strong) AoE Heal to Self and Allies on explosion OR when they disappear.

Read my comment again. I didn't say it doesn't help anyone solo. I said how much it helps solo is not relevant.

Anyone so powerful they can solo x8 is already bleeding edge. The question is not about its usefulness solo. That’s pretty much irrelevant. The question is how useful is it on a team, where it benefits everyone equally.

For most people that was never appealing.

This was never an option. The benefit MUST help Stalkers in addition to the others. And sacrificing ST to achieve the best possible AoE is key to the new design. Without that sacrifice there is no Fast ET.

We’re not giving bruising Back to Tankers. It was Just taken away to justify higher damage.

On a level 50 EM/WP Scrapper, Total Focus isn't playing any sound effect on impact.
