Not following the math here. If there is an issue before GR (#17), then the issue after GR would be #18. The devs already said that GR will not have an issue number associated with it.

To display the information for you would require that one badge to have a custom display. So, yes, I would say that is asking too much. It doesn't really seem practical to me.

Yes, for knowledgeable users, it would be. However, the updater is basically a 'one size fits all' solution. It might be a bit frustrating for you, but keep in mind you only have to download the entire game ONCE. On the other hand, the updater takes care of all details and provides a 'hands off' solution for anyone who is clueless about computers. Trust me - we've seen posts in the tech section from people who don't even know how to find out how much RAM their system has. The updater program provides a viable solution for everyone.

You don't need the quotes. But they don't mess it up, either, so you can add them if you want.

Taxibot Elaine changed into a giant lobster and menaced us to keep us in line.

Sign me up for team one. I'll probably bring my dark/dark tank.

And if the blaster is a lunatic, and you have to heal them for 10x their HP bar, you've made them ten times as tough.
Or if you have a tank who already has 90% resistance and you've put Fortitude on him and he STILL is going to die, suddenly healing looks more useful.

Your points are all good, but let's not make it sound like the empathy set sucks. I have multiple defenders and controllers at level 50 and one of them is empathy. It's a fun set to play, just like the others.

Where are you getting this from? This is not at all required by the genre. All that is required is a turning point of historical significance where there are multiple possible outcomes. No outside interference is needed. The alternate universe theory says that more than one of the possible outcomes did in fact occur, each in a different/alternate universe.

Would you give me that acorn? It looks tasty.

The character isn't actually named Ninja Bunny, but she refers to herself that way in a costume change emote. The character is Dark Devices, level 50 dark/archery defender.

DOOM! Even 7 years ago, the good names were all gone!

But "balance" isn't automatically better. If you create a perfectly balanced game and everyone avoids it because they hate it, then you have failed on an epic scale.

We get that you prefer the new raid. Can you even IMAGINE that the people who prefer the old raid are not all greedy scum only after the reward?

It's a fine line between the text "implying" and the reader "assuming".

Has anyone actually tracked this with HeroStats or something? In my experience, the drop rates looks more like somewhere in the range of 1 in 50 or 1 in 75 kills.

Actually, *BY DESIGN*, every character type can be replaced by something else. No archetype is essential to a team. To say that tanks are not needed is quite true. It is equally true to say that scrappers are not needed, or blasters, or defenders, or controllers.

As someone who has only been playing the game for 10 days, you should realize that you have only seen a tiny portion of it. And, from your descriptions, it really doesn't sound like you're experiencing a variety of teams and activities. It sounds like you've been getting on a lot of teams built with the intent of speeding through content for the rewards/XP.

If your mindset is that you need to get to 50 for the high-end raiding content, I don't expect you'll be around very long. Frankly, it sounds like you're burning out after less than two weeks. I've been playing over 4-1/2 years and there are still entire powersets that look interesting that I haven't had the chance to try yet.

The game has a 'memory leak'. I've had this happen repeatedly. It uses more and more RAM over the course of playing then, when I try to use Wentworth's or just zone, it will crash. At the time of the crash, it will be using approximately 1.3GB of RAM.

So, will it run Ultra Mode? Definitely.
Will you be able to max the settings? No.
