Fix the code in the lairs so they aren't held together with scotch tape and prayers anymore and then add a hardcore mode for teams of max level players with difficulty starting around where elite puts you normally and ramping up as you increase the setting up to ridiculously near impossible (without a well made team knowing wth they are doing)
revisit rewards for ALL lair difficulties because they suck.

That is why I didn't say "it's never going to happen", I just that "it has already been confirmed that cryptic does not want to do it". If you think that is player pessimism... well.. you're free to think that.. My reply was more for the benefit of people who never read those comments by TT.
And maybe they'll change their minds, who knows. But if fixing things is really as much work as
making new stuff (as was claimed by cryptic), I'd rather have a few completely new lairs.
I agree... the rewards in this game are rather stingy. I never quite understood why, as some of the old loot looked really interesting.
Whoever you are, be that person one hundred percent. Don't compromise on your identity.

I didn't though, and I'm all for logically putting unlocks back where they belong.
see ? I agreed with something !

As far as I have seen in the last 2 years, the main idea is costumes and few devices in lockboxes and zstore. Actual content is released only quick enough to avoid too much playerbase uprage.
If CN prefers to make new Lairs instead of retuning old ones, sure they can, but it seems to be neither of those options.
Gradii's not wrong though. Knee-jerk cynicism is a common phenomenon in this section. People act like we should actually consider whether a suggestion is feasible or possible before we post it... despite that not being a rule that's listed anywhere, and in fact that being a terrible method by which to determine if we should post a suggestion or not.
Of course, sometimes I wonder of those cynics have ulterior motives that go beyond just showing off how knowledgable they are about what's not likely to happen (what a thing to be an expert about).
Relax. It's better if you expect a few knee jerk cynicism responses (especially if you have a hater crew that follows you to every thread you make and constantly tries to get you upset to massage their own egos ~.^)
^ agree... only if it doesn't end up only catering to "those builds", and is more about the "knowing what they are doing" part.
On a side note, we are all very fond of saying "Better rewards!", but I feel like we do that way more often than we actually discuss what better rewards would be. If we keep doing that, we run the risk of the devs getting it in their head that "gear ladder = better rewards".
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
I agree, just that if having a choice between those two, and assuming/believing they would take the same time to make, I'd choose new lairs over fixing old ones.
And even if it is not as much work, I'd rather have 1 new lair than fixing up all existing ones.
The lairs are all playable in their current state, so we already have them. Quite a few have hardly any problems at all.
And even if the lairs are fully rebuild to be like they were supposed to be, I'd hardly call them new.
Non of the lairs are masterpieces, if they get improved so far that they can be called well designed modern day mmo lairs, they would indeed be completely newly designed, so after a fashion new lairs.
So is that what you were suggesting then? Throwing aways the lairs we have now, and completely redesign them? I didn't read your OP that way. But even then, since this would most certainly take just as much work as making new lairs (new in the sense of not a replacement, the word new is getting confusing now), I'd like it better if they'd just made new lairs.
Still not seeing the advantage of spending time on that.
So they can make replacements lairs, (keeping to level 40 stuff) ending up with 3 good lairs.
Or they can spend that time to make 3 new lairs, so we'd end up with 3 good and 3 not so good lairs. I don't understand how with the same dev time investments, 3 good lairs is better then 3 good and 3 not so good lairs.
Also in my opinion there are not nearly enough promising mechanics in the lairs in CO.
