A similar problem exists with the Minotaurs in the Cimeroan factions. They are listed as bosses and spawn that often but are coded as EBs. Quite annoying but I figured it was WAI.

Eh, I'd say you should still go for it. Especially if the arcs aren't too long, it would be something fun and different than the usual.

Experienced this with a few arcs with different enemy groups and I believe I know what the problem is. Some enemies have "1 per spawn" rules for a specific mob while others have it for a specific power. Only one Sapper, CoT only casts one Quicksand patch or only one ghost uses the -to hit aura, Family only summons one Singularity, etc. Custom picked groups break these spawning rules which can have results ranging from an interesting challenge to freakishly hard. It's the only thing preventing me from using Sappers in a future arc since I'd like to have them within reason.

Both of these intrigue me. With how limited Intangibility is in the game, I wonder if there's a chance of that getting adjusted. Then again, I understandf that perma phase runs the risk of being broken.

On the opposite end, due to the number of IOs with KB protection, I wonder if Acrobatics could stand buffing.

Team Teleport does seem to be designed for "all of us simultaneously jump that guy" as opposed to travel. Plus, you could get your team out of stacking Caltrops patches.

The problem with Group Fly is the to hit debuff which is actually very strong but inflicted upon your whole team. Otherwise it'd be more desirable.

*arches eyebrow*

This actually brings me to one of my disappointments with the disagreements is the lack of elaboration. An example was the concept of having MA authors write content for Boomtoom. It's well meaning in theory but in the thread it was noted that it won't actually speed things up since the devs have stated that the tools are still quite different. The author respecftfully conceeded. While there are still examples of authors being rude to people who give feedback, single line responses don't help anyone.

I see two key problems with the suggestions forum. First, everyone has different opinions on what they like or dislike. In itself that's not bad but an idea that may have merit but is poorly worded/conceived stands a chance of being shot down for the heck of it as opposed to being discussed. Different playstyles will both aid and hurt this. I think the second problem is the bigger one and that's the "either or" perception of content. We will get Suggestion A or Suggestion B but not both, despite the two ideas involving entirely different parts of the dev team. Thus, there seems to be an urge to shoot down an idea for fear it'll snuff out a completely different idea they want.

I'm curious, was there any specific catalyst that brought it to this state or has it been like this since the beginning?

-facepalm- In the back of my mind I knew I was forgetting something.

This was more of my thought process. It's not 100% free due to the end cost and it would offer a choice of a speed boost.

Concerning Sharker's comment: With this being a videogame, there's numerous examples of a game's dash/running power either boosting flight speed or outright requiring a running leap.

Just made a new character to check and Outbreak is an undisclosed area west of Talos. So unless it's considered part of the Hollows, Galaxy City and the Hollows seem to be the only zones without instances.

Was specifically thinking of Mental Training, Quickness, and Lightning Reflexes.

Possibly. Then again, I actually feel that most of the game feels better with a pentad instead of a full eight man team so it could be a perception thing. However, Posi TF does seem like the enjoyment is inversely proportional to the team size due to the defeat alls and the actual mob groups.
