This morning I got a tip on the 2nd door.

Frankly, saying reward/=time spent, and only talking about merits is getting real old.

This trial takes time and effort. Making the reward bigger doesn't change the fact that you have to develop strategies and practice. If it can't be done successfully every time you run it, I say great. It's about time there's something to do that doesn't have an easy button.

If the problem is perception, then why perpetuate it? Stalker's aren't single target focused just because they rid one AoE for a strong ST burst. In fact, the way Stalkers can potentize any damaging attacks make having one less AoE not much of a detriment. And what do you think the devs will do when they proliferate Ice melee? Or Fire melee? Or Axe/Warmace? Do you honestly believe they'll remove *all* AoE attacks from those sets? And do you honestly weigh the whirling attacks so heavily vs team performance? Whirling attacks that are really no better than the infamous Whirling Hands?

It's extremely irritating, bordering on hypocritical, every time I hear the complaint. The excessive whining about mobs dying before you can get to them, how useless they are in teams but whipping out a moderate-to-low short-ranged PBAoE is suppose to change that? For any melee!?

If the teams are wiping because you're getting blown to bits by him while trying to clear the cubes, the teams are going to get blown to bits just the same if you get the shields down and are trying to kill him.

The only objection to the Aspect being able to attack while bubbled that I can get behind is that it's unfair or that it's a bug (if the shield is really meant to give him the Only Affecting Self flag).

But setting it so the Aspect can't attack while bubbled isn't going to somehow fix teams that are wiping while trying to bring his shields down.

I suppose it could be a problem of the damage from the Aspect combined with the spawns you're trying to clear, but if the team survival is that fragile, you're probably still going to have massive wipes when the cube spawns respawn each time and alpha the hell out of everyone.

I just don't buy that the Aspect being able to attack through his bubble is somehow a huge obstacle and changing it would make the CoP more easy and accessible.

What I think is most likely is that people object to it because they think it's unfair. Well, maybe, but uh, tough? It's supposed to be an endgame trial. Until we get AI good enough to challenge coordinated teams of humans, sometimes the AI is going to have to cheat.

In the past when they were nice to us they were off setting some nerf or neg 'adjustment"

Now you know how solo players feel about missions that have simultaneous glowie clicks, that you MUST team to complete.

I'm kind of happy that there's finally some parity there. For years there were missions that absolutely REQUIRED a team to complete, now there are missions that absolutely REQUIRE you to be solo.

Fair's fair.

And that's when they sent me in to Praetoria, to get a handle on things.

GR is going live in less than a month & I haven't heard of any news regarding when the Loyalty programmers or 60 month vets will be allowed. But if its just going to be a week or 2 before open beta, then why did I even bother?

i'd thank the devs but given this would have never happened if the mitos weren't "fixed" in the first place... it's good to have a more sensible mag applied to the mitos for an 8 person TF.

As an aside, I would have been fine with the mag 53 if the lgtf were given a much higher merit reward (maybe 35 to 40 merits?). What ever happened to risk VS Reward?
