Idk man I think when it comes to ratio of reactions, @MoonSheep has you beat: Wear them proudly, @MoonSheep.

What a way to start a topic. Bravo, sir... bravo!

How dare you take the time to do all this research and math to back up your position on the matter. What kind of monster are you!?

That means more to me than you know, thank you so much! 😄 🤣

My ratio of total reactions received vs thumbs down is 🔥, I am so proud of myself. Most of these came during this round of focused feedback, so my future is looking very 👎 given my inclinations. 😄

Or women... its just, that is the quote... I am just copying a meme...

Oh man... I really like how true this is...

If the OP can't change this to not hide who voted for what can a GM go in and change this? Or at least check the people who voted to verify the results? If not the only way would be to redo this poll without hiding who voted for what. Because lord knows the inner circle could be at play here to ruin this game!

Its the Inner Circle at play I tell you.

I think those results are hidden for this particular poll.

So you lost the name you were sitting on for over a year without playing on an 18 year old game running on a private server. Life goes on. EDIT: For those who need clarification: "You" doesn't always mean specifically YOU, it can be a hypothetical or generic "You" for anyone this statement may apply to. Just so everyone is aware. Also, this statement was more meant to make a counter point to the quoted statement.

As you can see by my list of toons in my signature, I have a lot of alts. The ones I play the most (those listed there) are all lvl 50. So I dont have to worry about their names being taken. However, I have about 100 other alts that are not level 50. If I lose those names, that is my own fault. I don't play them as much and therefor the name should go to someone who will actually use it. That being said, I do understand the emergency situations where people may not be able to play for extended periods of time. But those edge cases seem few and far between and this solution seems fair on the whole. 1 YEAR to keep a name for a lvl 10 (for example)? You know how long it takes to get to lvl 10? Lets just say I could probably have had another lvl 10 in the time it took me to type this post up. Maybe even 2 lvl 10s. The only issue I see with this, is the initial time it will take to log in all of your NON-LVL 50 toons and reset their timers. After that... you have a whole year! 🙂

So, just so we are on the same page here, there is a secret society of people that are plotting to ruin an 18 year old free game well past its prime? I do like a good joke.

Interesting results... about in line with what I expected.

What benefit is there to grind out pretty much any story arc when I can do a farm in less time for more reward? Other than the badge... Asking for a friend...

Not true. I am incredibly, laughably poor, and overall I think the change is healthy. But to each their own.

I’d say 10 per day would be very reasonable. That gives you 1 ATO per day (for example) if you have the extra emps and want to go that route. This doesn’t seem game breaking, to me.

Makes sense, thought it was just a math thing but I understand.

Not that I am disagreeing. Just curious how you’re getting those numbers. Can you show the math behind this?

Diamond cut had many issues getting the seams to line up which wasn’t passing QA. It isn’t necessarily gone forever just needs more work to get it right, but it’s a decision beyond me for what makes it into the game and what doesn’t. I just draw stuff and try to make it fit 😂

I’d say do a poll, but that may just end up being skewed by the more vocal / more passionate crowd. Overall I think this change is going to hurt everyone at least a little. We have lost a source of merits, making the overall rate at which everyone can get merits slower. I guess I can see why this wasn’t the first proposal. It may be a good idea to give a little bit more merits per story arc / TF and maybe even like 1 merit per bank mission for people who like to do radios that are now losing their merit source. Just some ideas.

This is going to hit hard. Wondering if, with this change, merit rewards should be increased everywhere they currently exist since we are losing a source of merits. Just enough to keep the flow near the same.

I can understand that, it was a hard design decision based on a couple of things: 1) With those same shaded areas appearing in the chest and legs in the way that they are, not having them in the gloves would throw off the aesthetic and balance of the design. 2) As you know, players like to mix and match so I wanted them to add another unique choice if they happened to be used outside the rest of the set. There are currently no other gloves/boots patterns in the game like them, but without the shading the way it is I felt they would be too similar to other gloves/boots patterns that already exist. Overall, the design decisions I made when I created these patterns kind of centered around that idea and also meeting the QA standards the devs have for new patterns. But I understand your point and appreciate your feedback!
