Sheesh, the very fact that you have to run content to slot the new powers is enough of a hurdle to get them... I don't know why they thought they had to gate the new powers. I can understand the reasoning behind BAF and Lambda proposed change, but I did think it was a bad one overall (the far better solution is to make adjustments to Keyes, which they did do, and maybe the UGT). The tinfoil hat in me wonders if they were just doing this to encourage people to check out the new trials, but meh, we don't need to go there. I don't mind the green stuff issue with Keyes that is still there, though it is annoying. My main problem with that is the visual with it... too flat, needs some depth to be seen easier. I'll be sure to run Keyes more with the change, and may even do it on Blasters that just have one slot in Aid Self! They won't need it up about twice between strikes now, or so I hope. UGT, I dunno. It's just too long for me, personally. Takes awhile to form for trials, and then it is quite a time investment (and one that can fail, as well). It's different and interesting, just too long. I'm interested to see how the new ones work. And NT, seriously, stop taking everything so negatively. Of course the devs will have to look at reward ratios, but they're not our parents, either. Positron could start scolding if he wants, but he's not our parent or something... that would just drive people away. Hopefully they'll keep making smart changes to future trials, and as long as they aren't too long, I know I'll be trying for them. |
I'm not being negative about anything. If I were doom and gloom, and this will end CoX about the whole situation then yes, I'd have to step back and look at my attitude towards the game, but as I have said before, the change is par for the course in MMOland. I'm pretty sure I was being as neutral about it as possible.
I'm happy for everyone in that this change was reverted, but I'm also wary for the future if we all keep just farming BAF/Lam.
However to be positive about things, I am looking forward to doing the TPN and MoM trials.

Simply saying you didn't think the devs would listen to players earlier, or do anything about it, and then they did. Which is a good thing. But your response was more "look out for the future, it could be bad!"|

Not getting on your case, just saying look at it positively, since that seems to be your first inclination. I think Posi's post was more an encouragement to us to play other things (rather than a DOOM! post), but I don't think he's so foolish to think it's all on players to fix this. There are reasons why people play BAF and Lambda more than Keyes and UGT... and they are fixing some of those reasons with the proposed changes to Keyes.

I'll take my chances and stand by my convictions. But I thank you for taking the time to read every post over the years. You are a better person for it.

Drunken hicks of the jury, I rest my case. You must find Mr. Company guilty of Nerd Activities
PS Yes, I realize that making that calculation was a nerdy thing to do. But I'm open about my nerdiness instead of trying to stay in the closet.

Those aren't my peers though. In any sense of the word. So it'll never happen in the first place. And I believe a jury is usually reserved for civil cases or felony charges? I can't really say for sure because I most certainly have found good practices to get out of jury duty.|

Er.....I'm pretty sure I haven't read them all. But I can read the post count. If you spent only 30 seconds average on each of your posts then you've spent 189 hours just making posts on this game's forums. PS Yes, I realize that making that calculation was a nerdy thing to do. But I'm open about my nerdiness instead of trying to stay in the closet. |
I'm far more open about my proclivities than you can imagine; I just don't label them.
Thing is, this distraction is based off a misnomer, or at best a misunderstanding; I said nothing about this "nerd" fest you are gloming on to. I was, in fact, pointing out Mental's obsession (which very well may be made up but one of which I enjoy to pretend exists) with a particular show and its fans' moniker. I'm sorry if I struck a chord too close to home
But at least this has been more interesting than the original intent of the thread before Mental decided to fan the flames of misdirection?

I'm not a hardcore Gleek... in fact, I'm thinking about giving up on the show. The major plotlines usually make no sense, and the musical numbers have dropped significantly in quality from the first two seasons.

I... really don't know what to say about this....Other than: What have you done with the real MG??????!!!!!
Voo- It's good to see that there is still a glimmering of the old Voodoo left in you. Still, this new Voodoo Lite truly is an inferior product when compared to the old Voodoo.
