Honestly, if they're going to bring up the notion of obligation I'd think there would be at least an equivalent obligation to bring an alt to a GM fight that could meaningfully add to the battle. Why even take the time and effort to get a L4 to the Ada battle anyways? Plant an alt at the location, maybe a leveled alt with some decent powers capable of assisting. My L50s that don't see much play any more, I plant their flag on the Ada platform and I rotate through them for 16 merits as time permits. But I don't mind folks leeching for merits, a rising tide lifts all boats and all that, its just that one needs to be extra-careful when throwing rocks while in their glass house. There just isn't much room to stand on "obligation" here when they were going to add nothing to the experience themselves.

I think I'm coming at this from a reverse angle, the Symphony set feels rather similar to the Mind Control set to the point I'm wondering if these animations would be better served as an alternate animation set for Mind Control and jettison this music-based set entirely. It feels too specific to be its own set and with all the confuses, sleeps, fears, and psionic damage its fairly close to Mind Control anyways.

Oh cool, the golden one is mine! I find myself making quite a few alts based on my old D&D revised cosmology where the planes overlap considerably and in some odd ways - the lion is based on a type of angel called a Guardinal from a plane of positive energy, fire, and air. Game-mechanically he is a kin/sonic/fire defender. The big-ass Greater Fire Sword on a defender really makes the look 🙂 I remember this other alt, was mucking around in the costume creator and noticed another player with almost an inverse color scheme, thought it was cool too! If the owner of the white/blue alt happens to find this thread please message me and lets run some missions together!
