They changed the danger room time trial event prizes so that first place only gets you 1500 more merits than hitting 10%, nothing else. Rip everyone gets an award like it's the special olympics.

What if you're new and you actually needed Omegas or Odin marks? FYGM.

This is the kind of stuff you see when a game gets long in the tooth, increasingly niche and esoteric mechanics like Elektra's "marked" mechanic and changing things to cater to the established, gear-evolved player base as opposed to a growing, gear-building player base.

I will be completely honest I am floored at how good some of her animations are. Her ult and spinning falling strike in particular are levels of rigging we have yet to see before in this game.

That being said the marked for death mechanic is just bad and not meant for a game where you are a mob blender and the best TTL is a high TTK. Mayhem doesn't want it to be a boss only mechanic but he seems to fail to understand it can't be anything but one. It's a mechanic that is restrictive, somewhat punitive, and cramps play style in a way that makes it inaccessible to newer players. It's a great idea for a mechanic but it has no place in an ARPG where speed to kill is more important than tactics/positioning.

I'm not really sure how you fix it unless you just remove the recharge/gain/loss mechanic of it and rework it to be either a rotational or on sig use you then get 3 marks and they refresh next sig cooldown. 1 every minute is just weird when the entire game is being sped up; it's super jarring to have to wait that long if you somehow run out. On top of that the mechanic is godawful for the 10 people left who raid. Somehow gaz struck the balance of making the mechanic bad for both casual and hardcore players.

The Emma feedback thread is hilarious because it is in a huge majority only talk about how her looks.

1) Tons of posts about how her poses when she uses powers should look like THIS instead of THIS.

- For example: the post about when she uses telepathy crap and her hand should be turned differently and her leg should be posed like a side lunge.

2) Tons of posts about her hair and her face and if she is getting a Visual Update.

- Check any page for this. Here's an actual post.

quote:

Can we get different models in the ultimate in the Marvel NOW costume? like how cyclops changes with every costume. A blond a brunette and a redhead? and not 3 blonds? to fit lore-wise.

3) Plenty of posts about her not looking comic book enough or the Cuckoos not looking accurate.

- I guess people said the Cuckoos don't look like they do in the comics right now and that is a huge problem.

4) Plenty of posts about the color of her powers.

- I guess they should be a fainter white as opposed to Razzle Dazzle Blue. Got that one from the Crayola 64-set.

5) Some posts about how she needs updated and new avatars for the forums.

- I wish I was kidding.

6) And lastly, some scattered gameplay feedback that is actually good.

- It's mainly by guys who aren't Oforums superstars. There's great feedback about her spirit management, her mechanics, and how the hybrid mechanics flow together.

And lastly actually, how could I forget:

7) Feedback about the gifs that are posted on throughout the thread.

- Basically, feedback about Emma gameplay is tied to the gifs. Bleachonce liked one of the Maryse WWE gifs and said this is a sign of great things for Emma. BUT MisterJescah HATED one of the Mariah Carey head shake gifs and said it would really hurt Emma's gameplay! My god, tune in next week to the season finale of The OC to see where this ravishing tale turns next!

Reminder that MichaelMayhem's response to my posting one of GG's tooltips and saying "yeah this is a bad method of Spirit sustain and is not fun" was "oh wow, that's not what we described that as doing during design and documentation, we'll change that."

So the only way is: drop screenshots into threads with annotations and tag devs.

For a man who is always yelling at people about reading comprehension you are dropping the ball here pretty hard! Emma is unsalvageable for signal to noise reasons. We're not talking about numbers here because numbers are the last thing they deal with - you cannot make a reasonable good/bad call on numbers until this TC session is done. Example design issues for you if you want to pretend that's not the case: there are obvious number discrepancies between her shared cooldown powers, so in addition to the 2-3 mental powers that have been obsoleted we've got another 3 powers that are completely pointless out of the gate. Also no more sparkle dinos.

no one was talking about her dps numbers :confused:

yes 95% of the posts in her feedback thread are garbage, but they did already listen to some good feedback and make changes:

quote:

-Amp will not destroy the minion. After some consideration, this isn't a necessary or thematic enough component to the power. The explosion will move to the start of the power, making this a more satisfying button press.

-Lunge will not force you into Diamond Form(in hubs). It will still deal physical damage, but it will allow for a non-Diamond Emma to stay in normal form.

-Sweep Kick duration will go up to 8s.

-Blast will correctly deal mental damage.

it isnt like she has some fundamentally poo poo mechanic like marked for death. her cooldown power interactions can still be changed too. hell I bet marked for death gets changed. so to go crying that shes terrible or whatever after her first day on TC is just :laffo:
