E: Or wait until it's a day with the ice map and just run around hitting the targets near your base. You can probably spend a whole match without meeting an enemy player if you don't want to :v:

Yeah, different emote this season.

I loving hate the Series exp thing and I like pvp. I hate it less now that they basically doubled frontlines series experience, but still not a fan. Also particularly annoyed that they're giving top 100 something other than a framers kit this time.

Yes. The punch fist into palm (or punch fists together for some races) emote is /determined, from the Series 1 PvP rewards. Ballroom Etiquette - Persuasive Perseverance is currently unobtainable if you didn't get it when Series 1 was active. The current series has Heartfelt Sincerity or the /handtoheart emote.

I can understand the top ranked PVP stuff being exclusive but just the random stuff for going up in ranks being forever exclusive to a single series is utterly baffling to me. Almost everything else in the game is very intentionally designed to be available forever in some form or another and PVP is the sole outlier here. It wouldn't be that hard to wait a patch or three, drop old series rewards in the trophy crystal shop (or even wolf marks for stuff like the rank 5 rewards), and let people go for them later on. It would remove a lot of pressure on the PVP-averse to go in and not have fun and also probably raise participation rates slightly because there's more stuff to potentially win.

I can only assume the PVP rewards are handled by that One Guy who did the original Diadem and Heavensward crafting and other crappy content. :shrug:

And it's dark and there is nobody driving And something has got to give

It would also be a good way to have more things to spend trophy crystals on when the series just keeps spewing them at us. I know the options we have aren't terrible, and we can always convert them to Wolf Marks to throw down the venture/prism/dark-matter hole, but letting people drop lots of crystals on old rewards would make them feel more substantial.

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

Speaking of PvP I just had a really hectic Seal Rock. We got an early lead (red got a penta but also got in a killbox while we had two triangles pretty unapposed) and both red and blue started focusing us. Letting the other ones go past to his us, that sort of thing. It was a hectic few minutes of flailing and I think we won just via killing more than we died rather than the usual objective-focusing.

Yeah, I think my win rate is higher when I'm on the team that gets stomped into the dirt for the first couple of minutes vs. the team that starts strong, because so many people just... don't look at the scoreboard after the first few minutes, I guess?

Speaking of, since I spent several minutes looking this up the other day....

Current status of the rivers of Hades
Phlegethon: a guy in LotA, currently dead.
Acheron: 3 trash mobs in Syrcus Tower, currently dead.
Styx: a popular multihit raidwide used by various ancients.
Kokytos: a hungry, hungry panda boss.
Lethe: an actual river.

Meanwhile Hades was a guy, does not seem to have owned an underworld with rivers in it. Also Phlegethon was Acheron before Acheron was Acheron, but that's because Phlegethon is really Titan, just not that Titan. What does this mean? What name will they give LotA-Phlegethon when the Japanese team inevitability add a Phlegethon in the JP version since it's the only river left for them? What will they add? How is it all connected?

They should make a robot ancient named Mr. Roboto who can use that move.

His other raidwide is called Domo Arigato.

It was implied that would happen when the revamp came, that old rewards would move to the Trophy Crystals, but they've not changed them at all it seems.

Okay, the past several matches I've had 3+ people instantly leave the match after a win/loss. Not 'open duty finder and press U' instant but gone before the recommendation window even pops.

Am I fighting bots or is there some application that can auto-exit you from a duty? I'm fighting bots arn't I?

Let me be the one that says this every time it comes up this time, that was a mistranslation by a speed TL group from that live letter. They were talking about the ability to buy the previous season's awards if you'd unlocked them during the same season.

Except it wasn't. It was directly taken from the official translation of the live letter, with the JP text saying the exact same thing.

More crystal trophy rewards, new and old, would be nice. I have every non-glam thing in the store and all the glam pieces I want (and no dresser space for stuff I won't use). At this point I just buy another wolf collar every time I hit 20k but I have the only weapon I wanted from that store.
