I remember when the last CM was here Trendy these forums where a graveyard of banned accounts and it wasn't due to her doing her job properly.
Trendy wasn't our last CM. She was our last GOOD CM. We had CaptainSmirk after Trendy and... he wasn't that good at all. Personally I feel Kael does better than Smirk. But I agree that Trendy was one of our best. Kael's at least trying IMO, but he's also fielding multiple community sources. I wasn't on the forums enough to really get a feel for Branflakes, but got the sense he was well respected.
One of the reasons I feel Kael's at least trying is the weekly livestreams. I think Smirk just did in game stuff. Trendy was everywhere.
I can't take it anymore! Could everyone just chill out for two seconds before something CRAZY happens again?!

It may have been how I worded my post but I was not a fan of Trendy. She may have been more visible, but on this forum it felt like she just liked to swing the ban hammer and ban accounts for giggles the forum was littered with them towards the end of her tenure

We're reaching new levels in term of saying "it could be worse, stop complaining".
"No, the console isn't broken. There is just one thing about it that is broken and another that was supposed to work but the devs realized too late it's actually impossible to work but it was still advertised like that, it is fine!"

Hey... I want the chain to work too. But its not totally broken to the point of "don't bother" as far as I can tell.

It will work correctly, one day in the far future, cryptic will work on it for years and years, Mr Scott will come along and get it fixed within 2 minutes, (miracle worker), lol

The chain not working is a bug, and weirdly it doesn't occur on the test servers or on internal builds so figuring it out is proving tricky.
The Crit interaction was supposed to be there, but due to some strange and subtle weirdness with the engine, turned out to be impossible to get to work right (I know, learning that made blood come out my ears too). However, bonus damage works fine, so we swapped to a bonus damage vs held instead of crit sev.
It was not intended to be a nerf, but realistically cat2 isn't as juicy as crit. The monstrous dps on the dot makes justifying amping up the bonus damage hard. There has been only one intentional change to the item since it shipped, and that's the crit to bonus damage swap.
This item has followed a weird journey, and seems to have landed as Son of Isometric Charge. The chain is definitely coming back, it's a matter of when not if.
So there you have it, Tholian Webspinner Array (d)evolved? into Isometric Charge 2.0, more or less.

A bit of an official statement on the console, courtesy of a Dev reply on Reddit:

A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"
"It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch." "We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
Passion and Serenity are one.
I gain power by understanding both.
In the chaos of their battle, I bring order.
I am a shadow, darkness born from light.
The Force is united within me.
Wow. My previous post attempts that I thought the Forum ate a month ago got posted recently. Apologies for that. Any mod that could go back and delete those now old June 27th extra posts of mine?

Heck, from this quote I also just learned the console has a second functionality that is broken, which is the chain effect.
