Have the devs said specifically why they're putting it back? I have to suspect there's a reason besides player complaints. If griping is all it took, we'd have had an accept/decline button for Speed Boost years ago.

We need a "Hey! I'm walking here!" emote.

I'm still getting it too. Try jumping backwards, that usually will get me unstuck.

At first glance, I read that as "immortal women", and thought you had some kind of Highlander fetish.

By that logic: In PvE zones, you're still playing Player versus Player. It's just that the other player happens to be a computer.

No, they wanted to earn it without PvPing, which isn't the same thing. Nobody has said that getting Shivans and Nukes should be easy, just that they don't like having to deal with PvP to get them. For all intents and purposes, PvP is an entirely different game than PvE, and not everyone wants to play it. It's like having special PvE goodies that are unlocked by solving sudoku puzzles. I'm not here to play sudoku, why are the devs trying to draw me into a sudoku game instead of the one I signed up for?

The Marketplace is another side game that not everyone cares to play. However, the stuff you can get at the market is also available through other means: mission drops, merits, AE tickets, begging in Atlas Park etc. If there was an alternate way to get the PvP zone stuff, the problem would largely be solved. But as long as you can only get the goodies in those zones, you're going to keep getting people in there who don't really want to be there, and both sides will continue to be frustrated.

"Why don't you just leave me alone?" and "Why don't you just fight back?" are both unreasonable expectations, created by the devs' unfortunate decision to try and trick square pegs into going into round holes.

People argue against the game design all the time. For instance, when they complain about the changes in PVP a few issues back.

That's pretty much my view. I think it was a mistake to put PVE goodies in the PVP zones. And I'll never understand the mindset of someone who will repeatedly gank a target that can't/won't fight back. But as long as those are the rules, I'll live with it. I sneak into the zones to get the explore badges -- don't usually bother trying for Shivans or Nukes, cause I don't want to press my luck. I haven't been attacked yet (thank you, Issue 13, for thinning out the zones! ). If I ever am, I'll leave and come back later. It's annoying, but so is hunting for hostages on an Oranbega map, and I cope with that.

I'm especially looking forward to these two QoL improvements. Oh, the hours I've wasted, looking for that last glowie or hostage tucked away in some remote corner...

I do wonder how emailing inf will affect the market, though. With the money flowing more freely, will prices shoot up even more?

But that would defeat the purpose of the new unlockable costume part: Shoe Mirrors.

I remember the first time I did that trial. I was trying to jump from one ramp to another, overshot, and fell allllll the way down, landing smack dab on top of the Hydra. Ouchie.

I haven't been on the forums much lately, so I completely missed this. Thanks very much for taking the time to play and review my arc, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
