Thirty-Seven

That, my friend, is the catch.

While shards can drop from ANYTHING that cons even or above to you Lvl-wise, they are somewaht infrequent drops, and are converted to Threads only equally sometimes, depending on when you last converted that way. Now, once you get threads, it takes a LOT more to craft individual components, and even MORE if you want to use them to turn into the experience that is needed to open up your various slots.

SOOOO, that leaves folks with doing normal content to earn their Alpha abilities, and Incarnate Trials for everything else. Running iTrials is far more economical time-wise, but is very repetitive... unlike earning your Alpha.

AKA, there is ALWAYS a catch.

I dunno if I read it correctly, but it seems to me that your Paragon Rewards standing is equivalent (in at least some ways) to your stature within the current Veteran Rewards program. Now, the fact that buying points can BOOST that standing seems to mean that your standing is your accrued time PLUS some factor related to how many points you have accumulated. I would also think that your accumulated points is NOT the number you have on hand, but instead the total number you have earned... which would include the ones you have already spent. Hmmmm, perhaps the 400 PP stipend VIPs get IS what determines their monthly movement upward in the system. Perhaps it takes 1,200 PPs to move to the next Vet tier.

Which, of course SOUNDS like you can buy your Veteran standing... which is discouraging. But, what it may mean, is that it can get you to certain thresholds but not enable you to just buy your way to an 84 Month Vet on Day One... I hope that is the case. (BTW, I am no where near an 84 Month Vet... just somewhere in the 48 Month area.)

That's subjective.

Also, I was mostly just confused... since I was expecting to watch a humorous video in which you had your character performing hurl over and over again after having edited in random objects to cover the boulder-thing (intentionally poorly edited, I might add, to add to the effect). Needless to say, I was dissapointed.

I fail to see why you needed to post an over-long anime video to demonstrate your point. Also, I believe the word in the Subject you were looking for is Propel.

I am not 100% sure, but I think this is inaccurate. I was fairly sure that rank of enemy WAS a determining factor in where an enemy was placed on one's threat list... and that the ones on the bottom dropped off first. Of course, that is not the ONLY factor, so in practice it may not work that way. Of course, I could be totally full of it.

Considering obesity in America... that sounds like a good idea.

Fixed.

At least I HOPE they don't sell stuff that is already obtainable in the game. (Don't get me wrong, I still don't like the method to obtain these goods... but having to BUY them with real money is not the answer. In-game items shouldn't be obtainable in that way.)

What about summer Spanish cows?

I guess my argument against theses suggestions is a bit simpler: They are both unnecessary.

The advent of the Insps being cast on a character when it levels up was (and is) powerful enough. I don't see any reason why giving OTHER characters a similar benefit is even close to necessary. It isn't even a QoL change, really. I especially see issue in lower levels where leveling happens ridiculously often. I can see situations where every team member could have Large AND several Small Insps cast on them, which trivializes already fairly easy content. Leave the trivialization of content to the Incarnates.

As for the first idea? Again, I see no reason for this at all. Secondly, higher level Insps should be harder to get than small ones... for obvious reasons. But this would actually make them all equally easy, which is just plain illogical. There is a certain amount of balance that needs to be maintained.

Unless the flame thrower is under him... I am NOT seeing it.

I don't watch enough to know if you are joking...

We know some of that.

No feedback at all? No say as to how it happens? How many threads do the Devs have to make discussing it, with pages and pages of feedback to count? Cuz there are already a ton, in my eyes, the Devs are being VERY transparent some five months in advance.

That is against the forum rules, sir.

There are a billion and eight threads disclosing a great deal of info. People can (and already have been) posting their feedback there.

There might still be some in i21... but I wouldn't bet on it. Look for it in i22... especially seeing as it was mentioned as a goal that the Dev team was trying to shoot for in i21.

Still a cool look... and a nice pose.
