Good! Congrats. It's not trolling to ask people to actually test stuff on the test server. Good on you for doing so. Also, you were kinda asking for it:

Sure. Knock yourself out. All I found was a Temporal Warrior test. So good on you for trying that out.

Yes. You can answer whether you have actually logged into test server and tried anything, or just gave your opinions based on reading patch notes and other players. A simple yes or no will suffice.

No need to repeat what you said before. As you said, I am aware of your prior posts. But I may have missed where you actually went on test server and provided your feedback based on that experience. I clicked on the links provided thinking that you had attached your tests or feedback, but it was just the patch notes, which I have also read. What precisely did you test and what help did you provide?

I disagree. What we have works and has worked for years now. You may wish it was different, but the genie is out of the bottle and doesn't want to go back in. You are certainly entitled to your opinion, as am I, but that's all it is -- an opinion.

You can transfer any or all characters you have on any other HC server to Brainstorm, the name of HC's test server, by using this link: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/beta/

It started with no more veteran XP being able to be earned in AE and that got changed to you can still earn Vet XP in AE but you can no longer convert Empyrean merits to Reward Merits. Like you, I had never made that conversion so I prefer that. Other people converted who never step foot in AE and they're upset now.

I'll ask you as well. Have you tried it on test?

I appreciate the response and sympathize with a lot of it. I spend a lot of my time solo because I am self employed and work from home much of the time. I can play the game at will, but I might also have to stop suddenly to answer a call or an e-mail and sometimes what I think will be a few minutes may end up being a few hours. But I can solo run story arcs and radios/papers and even some TFs/Trials just as well as I can solo in AE. However, I can see that finding glowies might be harder without sound. I have also seen some people be jerks, but I think the majority of people that play this game will go out of their way to be helpful if you ask. I don't know if you have tried the AE on test to see what you think. Especially if you have your own custom farms or arcs. You may need to make some adjustments to them, but I didn't find it too bad. You might find it bad, but we won't know till you try it.

In defense of these particular arcs though, they are incarnate content and should by definition be harder than standard level 50 content.

Something funky is going on with the Rev and Lullaby. He won't use it at range, only at melee distance of about 11 feet or so. Everything else he will shoot at range. If the only power he has is lullaby and he is 18 feet or more away, he will just float there and look musical. But hey, at least he isn't running into melee range needlessly!

Here's one that I made about a year back.

I specifically remember Forum debates about the lack of incarnate progression for solo players and then the old team added the DA arcs to address that. They granted incarnate XP and salvage. And while incarnate critters have always been a little tougher, most if not all level 50s should be able to complete them at +0/1, and many can complete them at +4/x8, especially once they get their incarnate powers and level shifts. I also think it is convention that anything that requires a team . . . required a team. HC has loosened this for TFs, but I think everyone knows that TFs and Trials are supposed to be team content that certain ATs and players might be able to complete. Story arcs are generally understood to be content that can be teamed or solo. There are a few story arc missions that tell you that you might need to bring friends, but those are few and far between. And even those can be completed by most solo ATs, perhaps leaning on some temporary powers. The DA arcs also had the added personal story and intro that HAD to be run solo.

ShardWarrior: What is it that you DO want? No change at all, go back to no vet levels in AE, something different?

I know you are joking, but if you look at the text block I added, there's 1 Confuse hidden among 9 Scares. You should add Scare to your logger. I double-dog dare you!

Yeah, the first time you run Eden and see the map and the bones is definitely a "woah" moment.

I like new and difficult trials and raids. I love trying to figure out the puzzle of how best to defeat these new obstacles. I still remember the new Hamidon Raid being on test and a group of us trying it out. BaBs came by to supervise and yelled "RUN!" when it started going south. Someone else said "We are running" and he said, "RUN FASTER!!" Luckily someone had the forethought to bring a /dark and Howling Twilight did the job. Good times.

Can we get rid of the combat spam that says Arctic Air is scaring things? It takes up a lot of space in the chat channel. I got: [03:13] You Scare Infiltrator with your Arctic Air. [03:13] You Scare Vigilant with your Arctic Air. [03:13] You Scare Crey Voltaic Tank with your Arctic Air. [03:13] You Scare Crey Cryo Tank with your Arctic Air. [03:13] You Scare Crey Voltaic Tank with your Arctic Air. [03:13] You Scare Vigilant with your Arctic Air. [03:13] You Confuse Crey Juggernaut with your Arctic Air. [03:13] You Scare Crey Juggernaut with your Arctic Air. [03:13] You Scare Paragon Protector Elite with your Arctic Air. [03:13] You Scare Crey Crisis Unit with your Arctic Air. Several times in one minute.

That's the worst game ever! Bionic Flea is a level 1 Robot Monk Will O' the Wisp

Cool! Why?

DING! addiction is real.

"Unlikely" and "not change much" is not, NO NEVER!

Still avoiding the question and reality. Be well.

its math. math is the same for all of us. in this universe Since you didn't answer the question, I will assume that you have not logged into Brainstorm and personally tried anything.

I'm not going to go round and round with you again on inf/kill vs inf/min. We disagree. But have you actually logged into Brainstorm and tried any of this? If not, you should.
