    Guess that means the devs can hold off on making any new content for a while. \o/

    Good, now they can make something people want to play. :)

    I don't think you understood what you read u3u

    Hah the minute they make something actually worth playing I might come back. not like that would ever happen.​​

    They've been working on stuff that's pretty easy lately, you might wanna take a gander.

    I don't know what u3u means - why not use generally understood words rather than idiot speak? - but I have the rest down, ta. There is now enough content of that type for the time being. So maybe the devs can go off and make something with a bit of fun in it, rather than being contrived and over-cooked? Here's hoping.

    Well they just killed eido, and the zone was so full that there were extra people who wanted to be part of it and couldn't get in. So much for that "eido abandoned and impossible" theory.

    I don't think anyone said it was impossible. Let's hope that this means Eido will be back to being regularly attempted again.

    I miss when I could get on nightly and there would be a group trying to take him down.

    Most night now the zone is pretty much me and 1 or two other people. (And usually one of them from me calling for help with worms. O.o)

    Previous reported success was back on June 19? These kind of almost random successes just don't show much about how popular the content is.

    don't use a freeform system with as much freedom as ours. Your "they do it we should be the same" line of reasoning ignores reality on many fronts.


    What freedom? there is no real freedom anymore thanks to the latest content. you either build for one of the trinity roles or you won't be effective.​​
    Completely untrue. You can definitely make a multi-role character that does just fine at Cosmics.

    Enlighten me as to how a hybrid with a defensive passive is going to pass checks at dino.​​

    1. hybrid and multi-role are not the same thing.
    2. A hybrid isn't gonna have a 40k spike during a check, but it can certainly have a 25k spike, which is plenty to be an asset.

    See I knew you misunderstood what you read u3u

    The actual meaning was "there's so much content now that we can't even do it all, so the devs can stop making new content completely until we actually use all the stuff they put their time into making."

    The highest I've ever seen from a defensive passive hybrid (force cascade) was about 20k on a good crit.​​

    You should start referencing players other than yourself. There's people who are better at the game than you who can do stuff you can't.

    I would hope you can land more than one hit in 5s.

    Force cascade has what, a 3 second charge time?​​

    Taps, partial charges, and auxiliary damaging effects exist? Also, force cascade builds would hardly be at the top of my list for good dps over a 5s period.

    Spike damage builds would be ideal, and force cascade is one of the highest spiking powers in the game.​​

    You don't care about single hit damage, you care about damage over 5s; one 30k hit and ten 3k hits are the same, but the latter is easier to achieve. In any case, if you time things correctly you can get two full charge cascades landing in a 5s period, if you don't you can still land a full charge and a half charge

    I understood exactly what you meant; I just disagree with it. The problem here is that what you're saying is that "there is so much unplayed high-end content no-one needs to make anything else", which isn't true. The game isn't an exercise ladder, as much as you may believe it to be so. There is now enough high-end content, and of such challenging quality that participation has dropped; so dev effort needs to go into providing something a bit more forgiving and entertaining at lower levels, or else it would be wasted time and resource.

    I dare you to show me significantly higher with a similar build. you can't and won't.​​

    On the other hand, I realize that you can start charging the Force Cascade before the damage check starts, meaning you can easily land a second fully charged cascade and at least a tap or two before it ends. So, you know, when it comes to the actual damage check I would perform better than you because I'm smarter and know the game better.

    This game still has way more freedom than any other MMO out there, and honestly, it really doesn't take that much to be effective in endgame content. I've seen plenty of hybrids who can pass checks.

    You're better at something for sure but I don't think it's what you think it is.​​

    I'm sure we'd both be surprised to find out just how many things there are that I'm better at than you.

    For all their bluster and claims of being "Better" at things I'm off clearing savage and extreme content in a much more difficult (and better designed) game while they're here doing simplistic and often punishing or poorly designed stuff.​​

    Pretending you know all the video games I play isn't going to dissuade people from thinking we're married you know.

    Also, naturally, you think any game you do well at is "well designed". You would probably think a Teletubbies game was game design genius.
