Thanks,
Just for clarification, and I know others will ask this:

Does the 5% bonus mean the effect of the inspiration is increased by 5%, or does it mean 5% is added to the bonus outright? IE, does a 20% bonus from an inspiration become 21% (the former) or 25% (the latter)?

Also: Six years of casual play begins to look an awful lot like one year of hardcore play.

Meh, not too excited, but not disappointed either. More badges are good. And free stuff is free.

I really hope this is not all of the info we are getting this week.

I also like that Vet rewards are continuing.

Hooray more badges

69 is nice, nothing special...72 is nice...1 more free slot, hooray

And yes please clarify, 5% makes a 10% inspiration 15% or 11%?

If it's a genuine badge, what badges aren't genuine? Or do you mean this is a real, physical badge that you'll mail to us?

I have never been one to doubt the equity of veteran badges, but I am starting to when I see that whole 5% added efficacy business. I hope it isn't a 5% boost overall as that would be more than a little unbalanced. Please clarify this!


Words to the wise aren't necessary- it's the stupid ones that need them.

All that means is that when a pop a big blue, for example, you get 55% of your end back instead of 50% - it's not really a game changer

With a big blue, that isn't a big deal. With purple and orange inspirations, I see that being a bit different. 5% added defense is a considerable boost; even if it is just temporary.

It's also disabled in PVP, so it doesn't really matter. I doubt the NPCs are going to petition the devs complaining that veterans whollop them extra hard when using inspirations.

It doesn't happen in PvP, so I don't see the big deal.

What, 38% defense for 60 seconds instead of 33% for 60 seconds? An outrage for sure

I think they've accepted their lot in life is to be beaten up by Heroes

I respect your opinion.

Somehow I doubt it's an additive 5% for defense and resistance inspirations. That's equivalent or better to running weave on anything but a tank. A 5% increase is noticeable - especially the closer you get to the 45%.

Now the real question is how are breakfrees going to be 5% more effective?

Nice. Although I feel a little jipped on the 69 month badge.

For some reason I feel as though it should have been a reward that both benefits me and you at the same time...
