I used to think they hated villains, then the Villain Epic classes came out and when I mentally compared them to Kheldians, I realized that yes it is true, the developers really DO hate heroes, not villains.

Was on a team not too long ago with someone who said they were playing their first Kheldian, and any time a Void Stalker showed up on the map he would scream "VOID! GET IT PLZ!" like we were honor-bound to save him from death. And if he died it was our fault.

Nope, whoever thought up Kheldians didn't love heroes, if you ask me. Which you didnt, just sayin'.

So, whenever someone says "datamining" they're supposed to list an incredibly long list of stuff/functions/options/what-have-you in order to be consistent with your expectations of the actual meaning, anytime this word is used?

I wish you luck in getting people to comply; you'll need it.

Superspeeding through a twisty warehouse with spawns every 20 feet? No thanks. Almost all of my squishies have Stealth and Invisibilty.

The problem is that every time I de-cloak in order to hit the grenade container, I'm instantly dead. I just find the grenade hunt supremely un-fun.

ZIIIIIIIIIING!

...as for why people post rage-filled rants, its not because they hate the game and yearn to quit. They post rage-filled rants because they LOVE this game.

Ah, so everyone who dislikes Keyes is a bad, weak character. I am glad you have cleared that up for us.

"Farming" Astral merits, lawl.

I say we leave the BAF rewards alone, and have the developers nerf your rewards. You're so hard-core, you'd never even notice - right?

*disgust*

So you are noticing the same amount of ixp as you did before this issue? Outstanding. My people are now earning between 1-3% progress per run. toward whatever slot is appropriate. Which is much less than they were earning before. Smells like a nerf to me.

Emjoy your Tabasco.

Because they might feel that they would be giving too much value for the price of the pack. I have a feeling they have a set number of pieces per booster pack [I have never actually counted]. Plus if they gave the Baron coat to women, people would start clamoring for all kinds of crossovers re other booster packs, imagine the headache. "The women got the Baron coat, now I want my guys to be able to have a male version of the Witch Lace top!"

But the Ascension stuff is free, there's no cost-effectiveness ratio to worry about.

No backpedaling happened, not sure what you're referring to here. I never claimed I liked being on Warworks-spawn teams for "increased" ixp. Never cared about that, what I want is not to have to fight the AVs twice or have the trial fail.

And I do want a chance at the very rare table, I know thats an uncool admisison to make but there you have it.

Uhhh, source for that one please, and please make it a reputable one.

I have to say that at this time I give that idea like.... zero creditability.

I have no problem with females receiving access to the Baron coat, but we're less likely to get that since the Magic stuff was a thing we paid for. However the Ascension stuff does not cost us a thing in real-world money, so they're not losing any of that by giving men access to the Ascension Armor boot. I have to say that this disparity in the boot genuinely puzzles me. What would the motivation possibly be for female-only access?! Makes no sense....

I am genuinely sorry to hear this. I agree that severe stress should be absent from what is ostensibly an entertainment experience.

My advice is to run BAF until you become more used to the idea of trials. Keyes is absolutely brutal. I have run it myself and I found it to be horribly unpleasant; BAF can be chaotic but its worlds-away simpler. The league leader will tell you exactly what you need to do on a BAF; just stick with your team and you will be ok.

The main problem with Keyes is that everyone other than the league leader has no idea whatsoever what they should be doing [if you are lucky, the leader knows what they're doing that is...]. This is because there seem to be ten things that each player needs to be doing ALL AT ONCE and people are running hither and thither like crowds fleeing the Martian death-machines in War of the Worlds. Then on top of this we have the death-ray pulses and incessant, continual death that at times even kills you as you stand in the hospital.

I actually like raids, but in my opinion Keyes is a horrible gaming experience. Compared to Keyes, the Apex TF is simplicity itself and that, my friend, is saying a mouthful.

Stay frosty.

My Stalker ran two BAFs last night, and if I'm remembering correctly those two runs got him 9% percent of the way toward unlocking Judgment. I do remember squinting at my Judgment slot and wondering what the heck I was doing wrong, I actually went and made sure I had Alpha unlocked on that toon.

Which I did. And this nerf sucks.

So instead of doing say, ten runs of the same trial now we're going to have run then 25 times or whatever for each slot. Like we were not already running these damn things enough! Yay for overkill.

Its cool, story-wise? What story? Guess I'd need to be the leader of the league to see it - all I saw was a confusing scrum of players as the league-leader tried vainly to let everyone know what they were supposed to be doing next. Go here! Do that! pick up those! Dont hit Antimatter! Kill those over there! To the bunker! No, not that bunker! Red and blue bubbled people, look out! Shout out when disintegrating! NO NOT NOW! Who has the power cells?! Taunt him dont hit him!! No not that bunker! Dead people hit the hosp! WHERE IS MY TANK! Who died and healed the AV!!

I really felt sorry for the leader as every one scrambled about trying to do his bidding. But call the Keyes Trial a great bit of writing.... uh, no
