i did read what you posted, yes suggesting ideas is in the for fun section, but along with suggesting ideas you have to accept that everyone will not agree with it

and basically what techbot says in his first post in the thread is my feelings on if this were implemented a massive hunt followed by battles with cheap shotting AVs is not fun, justin augustine tf is already full of rularuu hunts and its incredibly boring to run. also based on the lore making faathim an enemy and lanaruu actually working with rularuu would be breaking every bit of lore that was part of this game (aside from the facts that faathim has 0 powers that do dmg)

we also already have a battle against a baddy with 90% res to everything and his name is reichsman, which in the kahn tf is again also incredibly boring

with the final battle fighting a baddy with autohit 1 shotting powers would be again nearly impossible and extremely not fun, the likelyhood that ANY of it would be implemented would be pretty much 0 (we already had autohit stuff that nearly 1 shotted us with the keyes trial antimatter pulse and that was extremely hated by pretty much all players and it was eventually toned down, and even the hamidon has stuff that bypasses all def and resist unless you use a special inspiration)

there is technically a NPC model of rularuu the ravager which can be used in demo edits as well as devs when they do large scale in game events (i think zwillinger used the rularuu the ravager model during the freedom server praetorian invasion), in terms of actual game lore rularuu the ravager was sealed in the shadow shard which is more a portal into his mind than an actual prison)

i think that it would just have 1 chance of heal when the power was activated since heal ticks are essentially the inverse of dmg over time and powers like gloom which are entirely DoT only have 1 chance to proc on activation

the only problem with your example is that in this mish there are around 12-15 tentacles total you have to kill, if each one gave AV level xp for only having EB rank hp, that would be insane and of course people would farm it

most mishs with AVs usually complete on AV kill and/or theres only like 1 AV in the mish to begin with, from personal experience the tentacles are also MUCH easier to kill than an AV since they only have 1 attack thats basically melee only (it has a large range but very easy to sit outside its range)

IIRC all you had to do blueside was be in steel canyon on same team as person doing the latin student mish, or 0 work essentially, redside you still have to run an actual mish to get the badge

i dont remember if i saw a redname reasoning for why it was changed

i wasnt referring to mercy island as a whole, just the section called "mercy" which is where operative kuzmin and most of the lowbie contacts are

this is only true for the hero midnighter arc, redside arc still awards to whole team

/this

about the mobs in mercy that would actually be determined by your combat phase state, if you finished all of operative kuzmins arc then there wont be any longbow in mercy (for you)

ah, and to correct you thats knockback resistance thats 10000%, knockback protection is usually only about 50-100 (50 for PTOD, 100 for some AVs base protection)

and against normal mobs that have no protection i have not noticed a difference in launch height between a mag 12 or supposed mag 34

praetorians can still access that stuff, post level 20 there is nothing to differentiate a praetorian character except for their unique badge titles

what usually kills praetorian side for me is they are jailed to praetoria at lvl 1-20, whereas primal characters have very few travel restrictions
