That's why I like Death Shamans. "But oh, kind sir, my XP is hardly worth your time. Allow me to raise some more for you."

You do realize the zombies the Death Shamans summon don't give any XP, right?

My biggest complaints come in the form of some players attitudes. Mostly those that seem to adhere to the idea that if you power level a character you have "no idea" how to play when you get to the upper levels. All i can ever think is "maybe some of us are just more advanced then you are and dont need the remedial courses of playing playing the low levels to remind us about taking hasten and travel powers or what a energy blast power does every time around.

Being able to punch through Titans...yet flailing ineptly at the overhead branches and leaves in a forest.

The inability to separate AE farms from SF mishes in the select menu. 

[Erratic1]

Really annoyed when someone ports in or out from another zone in motion, shoving me in some random direction.

 

Know it is not their fault but it annoys me.

Having to go into the police station to see the detective when there is another detective standing right outside.

 

That's when you use the Walk power and sashay through the station.  😉  

 

If only there were police persons standing around drinking coffee or eating donuts that would look up and admire you as you pass by them, with the usual civilian banter about your character previously saving the day.  

 

Hey, my characters have egos and like preening.  😄

The sails on the ships for the ITF I always get stuck in em with my flyers 😄

[Hyperstrike]

My main annoyance is that I can't play it 24x7x52.

 

[Xeres]

The ping-pong shove back that occurs when 2 people are standing close to each other at a base portal, exit from a train, Ms. Liberty, etc.

Having to set up power trays all over again after a respec.

So much this! Please just leave the unchanged powers where they are!

 

Also, Auction House bugs are a pain in the proverbial.

 

Thought of another one: Dialog that pops up under my upper-left-corner map!

 

"Thanks for the vital clue, but I was looking at my phone. Could you repeat that?"

"Hello?"

I keep a floating tab 4 with only NPC Dialog/Cutscene Captions in it.

On Live, getting D/C'ed. Especially during a Timed Mission.

Fortunately, that seems to be a rare occurrence since Homecoming.

Caves.

 

No AH in supergroups bases.

 

Caves disguised as office buildings.

When you go to craft an Incarnate power ... and you're 3 threads short.

 

When you joke about something like this on the forums ... and it actually happens the next day.  (Not kidding, it did!)

The ships at the dock in Cimerora are moored in opposite directions, but the sails are filled with wind blowing in the direction the ship is pointed, as if the wind completely reverses direction if you move sideways twenty feet.

 

And a particularly petty one, that from Positron's own statement I'm the only person to complain about in the entire live run of the game:  Virtually all of the buoys in the game are wrong. The IALA International Maritime Buoyage Standard defines the vertically red-and-white-striped buoy as a center-channel marker, indicating that there is deep water on all sides of the buoy, and it can be safely passed on any side. Instead, we see them moored ten feet away from docks, or (in Independence Port) used in place of the red and green lateral buoys marking the sides of the deep-water channel.

Anyone else envision Igneous critters in cubicles, sipping coffee, tapping away on spreadsheets and muttering about TPS reports?

My cubicle needed attention.

It's not a bug per se, but it seems to be something built into the game that, any time you buy a particular item of salvage off the AH to be able to craft an IO, the first mob you defeat after crafting the IO will drop that salvage.

[CursedSorcerer]

Oh, also when you're fighting mobs and an Enhancement drops and it's one of the ones you can use, but it doesn't match your Origin! 🤬

That sounds like a Nemesis plot.

 

BTW, it's cubicle.     🤓

Fixed!  Thank you.

Make it so!

Someone industrious could scrub a very nice QoL to-do list out of this thread.
