Presumably you'd still have to log in on at least one character during the anniversary event, so not quite.

Obviously there's a bit of a snag when it comes to people who have had older anniversary badges but then deleted those characters.

I guess what I'm saying is that, yeah, letting people who were in no way, shape, or form actually around for the anniversary events get the badges would be defeating their entire purpose.

I've heard of slippery slopes, but I think you just plunged off a slippery cliff.

All I'm looking for is for the crash on Rage to be fair to both resistance and defense-based sets.

Or how about the developers just (re)design things intelligently instead so that players can't do "stupid things" in the first place?

And the fact that you can skip over the defense debuff sounds like another design flaw.

Well, IIRC, Castle did say back when the crash was changed a rather lengthy time ago that he'd look at it again, mostly to finally get rid of the Defense Debuff so that Rage stopped unfairly penalizing defense builds.

Maybe there will be rewards for doing potential Exemplary Hero/Villain content, perhaps?

Or more obviously - we know there will be "turning point" missions in GR. One path leads to the grey, one obviously must not. Both paths will certainly have rewards at the end.

I wasn't stating that in defense of Fly. Just pointing out that all of the travel powers have gotten progressively less useful as time's gone on.

Except for that part where that was never what was said concerning Power Customization.

That still doesn't address possible performance concerns.

I also find it funny that people still complain that Fly is a bad travel power when all four actual travel powers have been largely marginalized thanks to Ninja Run and the approximately 3000 teleport shortcut powers we now have.

Seems barely noticeable? Once I read that thread where Castle explicitly compared VEAT recovery and regen to base I was shocked to see how little it actually gives. And considering that the number one problem that all three of my VEATs have is endurance troubles, I'd love to see Conditioning get a little buff at some point.

On that note, the Blood of the Black Stream, dangit.

Pointless, and essentially impossible. Fly itself already caps fly speed easily enough that making a "faster fly" would be redundant. Upping the flight cap won't happen either, due to balance and/or performance concerns.
