I assume you probably don't like making builds for small fixes, because making builds eats up a ton of engineer and QA time. The product I'm working on went code complete in December and is just shipping this week, so I get it. Any change, no matter how small (our last patch was adding a copyright notice missing in a few files) ends up provoking a full regression test that eats 4 QA man-days, now.

For my part, I'd be a lot happier with more information about when to expect a patch. Not just now, but updated regularly until it arrives. It's not really the waiting that I find frustrating - it's the lack of information about what to expect.

I wouldn't object to a laser sword in City (god I want a Vanguard Titan sword) but I surely ain't complaining.

The fact of the matter remains other companies are able to put out fixes as they go instead of waiting like Paragon does, which was the "entire" point made from the start by me. You can say the others have more resources all you want because it was not about resources it was about the actual practice and they leave Paragon behind in that measure.

For example, the DD Trial gets an important part of its story set up from Dominatrix's solo-only non-combat mission, and Diabolique's motivation for being in Dark Astoria is presented in a standard story arc - so the devs have used solo, 1-8 and 8-16 missions to tell her full story.

A task force would be OK, but I don't think it should be to "set up for" the DD Itrial.

All three- the arcs, the task force, and the trials- should be entirely self-contained stories that don't lead into one another. They can reflect different facets in the battle against Mot, but when you make one lead into the other, you leave a lot of people feeling, " if you want to finish it, you gotta do something you don't like to do."

I'll suffer through the occasional large group event or task force when I'm in the mood for it (and when my schedule permits it) but if I'm doing story arcs solo, its either because I want to experience the story or because I want to be solo. To get to a part in the story where I have to either leave a story unfinished or do something I'm not in the mood for, I tune the whole game out and go do something else.

I dont.
I see those items as a lost of resources and time. Maybe they are a good return in money so they keep doin that, or the dogs, lion pets...
Same for the detoggle travel powers. Some looks nice but you cant even select a colour for the carpet or rocket slide...
I wish they focus on power pool customization, and further customization for epics, ancillary and epic archetypes, even if they have to sell it at the market.
Hope April is better than march, I wont buy a single thing this month, and points getting piled wont make me buy more
If we only had Staff fighting this month...

The market has been open for about what, 5-6 months now, and there's been no issue with these thus far. Synapse made one single vague sentence regarding Performance Shifter in Stamina but nothing in regards to anything else.

In regards to complaining about pay2win, please these things are like 1-2 bucks. You'll spend 10 bucks on fake clothes, but now that they're selling something meaningful it becomes a Paragon witch hunt? If you don't want to buy these, then fine, don't. Your game experience won't change.

and in this specific case, were they literally never touch pvp bugs (see my first statement about it being more surprising that they actually changed something than the subject of the change) and when they were told about the bug multiple times, in cb and after with no response, you grow to accept it.

Apparently, shortly after issue 15 launched, some teams proved themselves able to defeat 'The Invincible' Reichsman in the first encounter with him. Developers later went back and fixed this. Personally would have kept it and made it a non-standard TF/SF ending giving full rewards and the badge title "Plot Derailer" with the following description: "Congratulations, you've ruined the whole story with your stupid power gaming! Now go back and follow the plot rails like a good player!"
