I am being guided by my sense of fair play here, but I don't think it's likely to cause much risk in doing so. Could it? Yes. If we have a league full of low DPS characters and MMs who can't add much, that's not smart. But I'll worry about crossing that bridge when I see it looming. I think there are fair odds the bug will be fixed before I need to worry about it.

I was being mean with the fixed around christmas, but in all seriousness I dont expect this to be fixed before the summer blockbuster patch comes in mid july.


Boycott Ncsoft if they close down Coh.

That would be a wonderful idea except for the fact that there will be other Trials that give APsi iXP, I guarantee it. And in that case, it would be lame to require a badge for a Trial you technically won't have to do to unlock it.

THey considered it, but its clear the didnt forsee the bug which was causing failures for reasons the players werent understanding.

This created excessive farming.

I would not avoid them / fail to invite them.
I'm on the other end myself, primarily playing my MM again, and I don't want to do Magi because of being more of a liability. That said, I agree, it shouldn't be a problem for much longer, Hawk checked in a fix, which means it's just waiting on the QA cycles.

If I had a MM, I would probably do the same thing. I might not if one was my main or my badge collector or some such, though I usually hold off a couple of weeks on any serious badge collection in new iTrials anyhow, just because I am happy to let others trail-blaze the strategies.

He did not get a level bump. The AVs prior to him got one, but Tyrant was always 54+5.


Why Blasters? Empathy Sucks.
So, you want to be Mental?
What the hell? Let's buff defenders.
Tactics are for those who do not have a big enough hammer. Wisdom is knowing how big your hammer is.
