    Please, do not add this to the GCR store. Everyone and their grandma's already have all the Eidolon achivements unlocked from all this time that it was exceedingly easy to take down. Let Cosmics at least have 1 unique drop that people can sell to compete against gold sellers AH prices. #makeCOseconomygreatagain

    It will be a mix of GCR and other things, not just perks.​​

    Thanks for fixes to the Terak Generator -- it's a really useful device. Especially, for AT's.

    What he means is a few people have all the achievements already, and said people believe themselves to be everyone.

    No, what I mean is that today I got 240k credit, 140k above the required limit, at Kiga by just spamming Headbutt (300 DPS per hit) all throughout the fight. I repeated this on Kiga 2 and got 270k.

    So basically what I'm saying is that people who fail to get credit at Cosmics by not being able to perform oh so elaborate actions like picking an Energy Builder and not dieing shouldn't be able to buy Cosmic related items by performing other non Cosmic stuff like QWZ dailies and the sort.

    I'm really not a fan of the 5 minute success timer on the OMs, it's already difficult lately to get enough interest in a single team to open up destroyer, trying to find more is going to be next to impossible.​​

    They want to ENFORCE team spitting for the warzone OMs with 5 minutes CD and kill private OMs runs (which were made for the sole purpose to unlock eidolon for EVERYONE)

    And with the current unorganized mess which is called CO Community this wont be happening. We still have people who don't want to learn mechanics, have rubbish hybrid builds when the endgame meta is pure DPS, TANK and SUPPORT and not a horrible pvp build set in hybrid

    R.I.P Warzone... again. I will have to wait 2 months again until people figure it out

    speaking of waiting, i sure hope you guys won't release the eidolon revamp the SAME time Foxbatcon is going... not a big deal since foxbatcon is really casual event compared to invansion and high noon but still​​

    Great work, thanks Kaizerin.

    Just in case you missed the discussion in the previous Foxbatcon thread, please make the joke Therakiel Blade? readily available to players that missed it last year because it was up for only 1 day, like it was last year. Please don't make people jump through hoops like having to do the Therakiel mission within a 24-hour period.

    The reason is, even though you're offering players something, those that missed it feel like you denied them instead; you'll turn a positive into a negative. I know the toy sword is really not a big deal, I played it with it like once and threw it in the bank, EXCEPT that people who missed it still hold a grudge.

    It seems like an overreaction, I know, but considering how strongly they feel about it and it probably makes no difference either way to you, just let them have it and feel good about a toy sword! Some suggestions:

    - make it available using the same 1-day mechanism as last year (not a drop from Therakiel)
    - better yet, make it available throughout the whole Foxbatcon event
    - make it a bonus Gold Members/LTS vendor item
    - make it a Foxbatcon vendor item perhaps
    - if you really, really must, then monetize it, Zen store for 100 Zen
    - or something creative like the following:

    Instead of making Therakiel's Sword? drop from the actual Therakiel, why not add a fairly manageable and accessible boss named "Therakiel?" who...is actually an impostor. Makes sense that a fake sword drops from a fake villain. It doesn't need to be the cosmic of the moment or anything silly like that, just something a few players can get together and kill without too much trouble.​​

    It's already hard enough to retain playership in CO. There's no need to make it harder. This is a minor issue that has a surprisingly big impact. Please convince your colleagues to consider the player experience.

    To be fair, the OMs and Eidolon had become a serious SCR/GCR farm. I understand that people had adapted to that, but it was never the intent. Yes, the devs are forcing their intent on us.

    Eh, it somewhat bumps up the number of players needed, but you could still probably do a private OM run with about ten people -- run tank, offtank, healer, 2 dps on two simultaneous, sync up to make sure they die at about the same time, then sprint over to the third and finish it. That means you have surplus tanks, so some of them should either sit out or or be able to build-swap to dps, but it sounds fairly doable.

    And it will eventually get back to farm status again. Just with a bit more cooldown.

    Guys, it's a fair point, but that's also a problem with MY wording, not with those players. I apologise for that, and ask that you assign whatever blame you want to me and not to the player affected. I got my little toy swords last year, so I'm just speaking for those that didn't and may be embarrassed to ask, precisely for fear of seeming entitled.

    These are players who are often paying customers, who have lives/jobs/relationships outside of the game. A lot of them work in retail or restaurants, thus have to work on weekends, or friends and family they go out on weekends with, and don't log onto MMOs. Last year, it happened that April 1st was on a Friday. This year, a Saturday.

    (Other players are more likely to log in on weekends, I totally understand. We all have different lives.)

    Now, if your reaction is that there's no way Cryptic's dev team can accommodate every single player's schedule; we agree 100%. That's exactly why we suggest not limiting to it to 1-day, not creating additional hurdles.

    Not only am I respectful of player's schedules, but also of the devs'. Re-using last year's distribution method is probably the least amount of work required. I do appreciate you guys already put in the work to make it a drop from Therakiel, making it a special occasion, but consider the player experience of those that don't log in every single day.

    That is a fair argument. As a person who worked long grueling weekends for years - I get it. I think extending the April Fools perk from the 1st - 3rd would be a decent compromise. Those who work on weekends would have a chance to get it, without extending the perk for too many days.
