Sooooo . . . does anyone want to get together on Brainstorm to run some ITFs this week?

I agree.

Bait and Switch!

At least you didn't say pineapple on pizza. But that was a @Jimmy thing and he doesn't love us anymore. I blame @Luminara

I am me, and you are Flea, and we are Flea, and we are all together.

Goes to claim this name and search for geometry holes.

10-4. Off to test! Now he tells me! Went to Fort Trident, then Penny Yin exit, still could not LRT to Fort because my test character doesn't have those badges.

I also notice on Brainstorm that my LRT had Fort Trident listed, but greyed out. What's the deal with that?

/timeout @Yomo Kimyata 24

I think he means in my imaginary "what if 4 star gave 10x the XP and Inf as standard run" from a post above. I still think more people would run 2 and 3 star, but who knows.

You know, I haven't checked if level 35s can even be invited to or run hardmode stuff. Lemme see. EDIT1: I checked on a level 38 that I already had on Brainstorm. He doesn't even get the UI for Advanced Difficulty ITF selections. So Ivan is right, no Hardmode for level 35-49. EDIT2: Same for ASF. No Advanced Difficulty UI settings for under 50. EDIT3: Level 50 IS able to invite level 35 to 4 Star . . . but that's probably not wise and definitely a pity spot. (Thanks @ivanhedgehog) EDIT4: Level 50 can quit team and leave poor little level 35 on a 50+4.x8 4 star TF. LOL. So much pain for my 38 ice/cold controller.

I can't answer the first question because I am not a dev. But it seems to me this update has more than hardcore stuff -- new powersets, new costumes, new arcs, and a bunch of other stuff on top of the "hardcore game." I don't know if you have tried 1-star Aeon SF or on the new ITF currently being tested. It's only slightly harder and no where near as intense as a 4 star. If all they were adding was 4 star, I would agree with you. As for not being able to run ITF on a level 35, that is also conjecture. We won't know until we get there. And I 100% agree with the last part. I would like to know precisely what the problem to be solved is to know if this is a good solution.

That may work for you, but that doesn't work for me. Clicking on totals does nothing.

And put some clothes on that Avatar, Zac!

That's exactly what a member of this cabal would say!

Bad Ghost! Timeout for you. Go to the corner!

My understanding, as I have never checked myself, is the daily numbers everyday between 8:30 am and 9:30 am. And especially in Pocket D and other zones with AE buildings. There is a noticeable difference on Tuesdays when the servers go offline. Presumably there are a number of AFk farmers that get booted and don't come back until they wake up, come back from work, whatever. @Ukase Here's a chart from HC Discord.

Our voices have been heard!

Methinks thou dost presume too much.

Man, I was hoping this idea would get some traction, but nobody has responded . . . .

I was having a great debate. But now that it's been downgraded I'm logging in and setting up several AFK farmers to get it while the getting is good. So long, suckers!

Ask and ye shall receive:

I agree. I think people that do this: DFB, PST DFB, PST DFB, PST DFB, PST continuously with nothing in between or any break of time ARE spamming. But I don't think that a conversation, even if inappropriate or in the wrong channel is spamming. It could be some other violation, but not spamming. If I am mistaken, I'd like official word on it. Because this is what I understand spamming to mean: spam verb gerund or present participle: spamming send the same message indiscriminately to (large numbers of recipients) on the internet. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/spam

Do you get angry with people going on about something you find inappropriate in a chat channel but don't want to use /ignore or /gignore because now you won't ever hear them or be able to team with them? Or otherwise you have to keep track like an accountant of whether someone deserves a lifetime ban or a week, a day, or an hour before you remove them from your ignore list? I propose a new command: /timeout (playername or @global) (number from 1 - 9999) - where the number represents the number of hours you want the person to spend on "timeout" on your ignore list. The max number 9999 is about 14 months. This idea originated from the discussion found here:

I thought spamming was writing the same thing over and over in a channel like: I will not have a conversation in LFG I will not have a conversation in LFG I will not have a conversation in LFG I will not have a conversation in LFG Not actually having a conversation. Done.
