As someone has mentioned right before me it's not clear if you'll need notices to advance. I assume the more you participate in the raids (which involves other players) the higher the reward you get, up to and including Notices of the Well (and whatever else will be needed for the Judgement slot abilities).

Granted, the exemping giving you shards is great for the entire population, not just 50s, and IS a solo option. However unless you can craft ALL parts of the Incarnate abilities (from common to very rare) with just shards (which so far YOU CAN'T, no telling how Judgement abilities will be formed) the concerns still stand.

That is awesome. Doesn't change the fact that sacks of hp as challenge is something this game needs to move away from. Thankfully it seems they are.

Right, which is why I've pretty much been playing other games while waiting for the animal pack and issue 20. I no longer care about Alpha and am patiently waiting for Judgement really. If the Incarnate Trials are fun I'll jump back in, if not, so be it my 50s (that I want to be incarnate) don't get to level shift for a bit.

Big deal.

THIS.

Let's not pretend this is new just cause of the level shift. It's not.

If I'm farming for purples I farm ONLY for purples and I ALSO often go -1. It doesn't matter if I'm -1, +0, or +1, the number of TEMP recpies drop so often now that I find it's pointless to even care about other rares or drops when I'm farming for purples.

Without fail just about every run I get a purple on, 90% of the rest of my recipes are a mix of commons you can buy at a university table + insane amounts of temp recipes. So again pointless if I go -1, +0 or +1. If I want to more consistently get non purple rares via farming I go AE, collect some tickets and ROLL for them in the appropriate ranges.

EDIT: And just in case it wasn't clear the number of temp recipes that now drop NO MATTER what activity you are doing (tfs, farming, tips, radios, etc) are FREAKING INSANE. If there was an auto delete temp recipies button in options I would have clicked it long ago.

Back to your regularly scheduled discussion about risk v. reward (rofl).

/rant off.

Errr isn't maintenance on Thursdays?

Yeah that policy is bad but I KINDA get it.

Removing pix that basically get your players pumped to BUY a pack? . . .


Uhhhhhh???? You got me.

QFT. AVs and EBs have long turned into a silly gimmick with how often they are thrown around. Let's NOT extend the useless gimmick further, thanks.

Arguable. I don't find "make it pretty" all that impressive.

Besides the fact that there are NUMEROUS things they've abandoned BEFORE power cust. I'd like them to tackle even ONE of those FIRST.

It's also why I don't take their comments of "we'll get to solo incarnate content" later seriously. They abandon so many things half way.

Right, but some bugs can be prevented from heading live if they aren't rushed from the test server to live due to some artificial schedule set up by the dev's overlords.

If the ones in charge allow the devs to do their jobs, we'd probably see less stupidity like the AE farm that went on for a week, and the recent crash due to rushing Issue 19.5 to live.

The shard tfs would have to be out as WSTs since you know villains can't access the shard. That would be epically stupid, unless there is going to something done to that little problem (which has been asked for for ages by villains.)

As to your first sentence, I don't see kill the same entire maps of enemies 3-5 times in a row as compelling content. The problem isn't their age, it's that they absolutely suck since they are tfs filled with mostely filler content.

Thankfully Positron was revamped so the devs are aware that those tfs need revamping. It'll just take time. Thankfully Issue 20 is on the way so I can avoid running any dreck I don't want to.

I lol'd! My co-workers are looking at me funny.

I'd prefer if they went back and fixed what's absolutely TERRIBLE about the Freedom Phalanx taskforces then bribe people to play them. But that's just me. EDIT: And as was asked, where are folks getting this list from?

On the contrary, I think all the ones he listed we're that bad. Doesn't mean they were perfect.

I think we DO see a lot of stuff from the 80s with rose-colored glasses. Watching them now just shows how . . . not good they were. Alot of them were blatantly setup to keep selling toys forever and ever and ever and ever . . .

lol so as useful as the emote pack. gotcha.
