I've run several All MM MSRs, mainly on Everlasting a long time ago. The novelty wears off really quickly for that large of an event. But smaller team/league events are really fun.

My mouse has up/down buttons on the side, which I use to move between workspaces when I am multiboxing. Other than that, everything I do is with popmenus and keybinds. I keep looking at something like this device, though. I don't know if the software would let me tie a key to just type "/league Hi There!" or whatever. Seems like a lot of devices like this want to execute key commands (like CTRL+C or CTRL+V) rather than just send a text string. Anyone have experience with this sort of thing?

Except, there seems to be more to it than just a timer, even when the error message says it's a timer issue. Frequently with Hami raids we'll pull someone over to Team 1 to help with incans and they can't seem to slot it, even though we've been sitting still for 20 minutes. But, if they drop the team they can slot it and rejoin. Otherwise, yes, this would be a nice QoL improvement.

With this level of negativity, your comments would be right at home in the Suggestions & Feedback forum.

A while back, someone suggested an idea for enhancement sets that give you a bigger boost in one area while nerfing something in another - for instance, greater recharge rate but decreased accuracy. I think something like that could be interesting and could provide some of the flaws you're thinking about. It would also be optional. Of course, with anything like that you have to think about how farmers are going to exploit it, so...

It's hard to imagine it would even be possible to code this, and probably the benefit to the community might not be that great, but I've always thought it would be fun if AE could allow you to create stuff where you could tweak some rules like this in exchange for considerably lower (or possibly no) rewards. So, you wanna know what it's like to herd an entire map? Go run AE #8675309 and let me know how it was.

There's already someone creating a lot of @Confusion in that respect.

EDIT: Ha! Great job with that pistol on the right there ChatGPT.

Socially acceptable power leveling. This and the Halloween event need to be shorter.

I'd never real thought about this point, but it makes sense. Why, as a league leader, would you ever want any of the other teams in the league to be less than your level? It could impact the mentoring badges, I guess? But if you want those, I guess... I dunno... you could lead stuff on your own. As a league leader, I would LOVE it if I craft team 2 and team 3 just like I want and know those teams won't get swapped when we LFG into something. I would love to be able to designate someone as a team leader without having to reshuffle the teams to accomplish that. It would be so cool to never again have to ask someone to give me back the the league star. I'd be thrilled if I could continue to invite people who are in zone, even though someone on Team 1 happened to leave the zone. Let's get rid of "Lock the event for your group" which seems designed to spaghetify your league, and instead have you immediately go in with less than a full league rather than have to queue for a few minutes. Let's remove the Avg. Wait Time column which has always been meaningless and replace it with how many are in progress you can join right now. Let's have a prompt come up after you mapserve that detects you are still involved in an event and ask if you want to rejoin - rather than you sending a tell to the league leader, getting reinvited, but then find yourself locked out of the event entirely Alas, I bet that is a ton of work, fraught with programming peril, and we're more likely to get an additional currency before any of that ever happens.

I don't hate the idea. As a personal example, maybe early in your incarnate career you like the lore pet Polar Lights because it works thematically with your character. But later, you determine that character is basically just going to do Hamis (low XP, high reward) for whatever reason, and the league leaders are telling you that Longbow is best. This would allow you to cash out your Polar Lights and use those resources to rebuild a Longbow pet that better suits your current needs. Right now, you'd probably have to email yourself some Transcendents from another character so you can build the Longbow, while retaining the Polar Lights you never plan to use again. For some of us that's not a big deal, but I realize most people have these "alts" things and may not have a pile of Transcendents laying around.

I've lost hope we'll ever do anything with Empathy, but I like the thought. Personally, I'd love to see the RAs combined into a single power and with the open power slot have a Light Servant (basically the opposite of Dark Servant from Dark Miasma).

Yeah, I've had mixed results with that. Usually if I am forming something with just 2-3 teams I can invite another team, but if it's a Hami or MSR I have trouble. It may be that if you have 6 teams in your league already - even though 1 or more of them maybe only has 1 member and you're trying to invite a group of 7 or fewer - you can't invite another team. And, if that other group you are trying to invite is formed as a league you're probably hosed, even if you have plenty of room for them.

Figured you for skim or 2%, honestly.
