On the one hand, chronicles is their new thing, so it would make sense for them to do any new figures in that line/scale.

But that would be the first time we would objectively have a mixed scale for a part of the franchise, since the majority of the figures would be masterverse and new figures chronicles.

Unless they dusted off masterverse for any figures they produced. But then they might just opt for no figures, since they were so disinterested in toys for revolutions that we still have gaping holes.

Tried to log at 3:53. World found at 3:59. Loaded in at 4:02. No event. Try to hop servers quick. Find another world and am loaded in at about 4:05. No event.

Guess I need to just commit to being a full 10 minutes or more early.

Same deal happened earlier in the day too and leaving world search and trying again didn't speed it up.

And no, not my network. 10 gigs down, no other traffic besides youtube music and my trying to log in.

I mean, double score is great. I need it.

But like... why have it start hours earlier than the reset?

To tease us with 2.5k missed score? That's almost a whole level for those of us that are behind. I would have waited on my dailies if I'd known it started before the reset.

With or without that missed 2.5k it at least means I don't have to spam the repeatable as much.

I get it. *Points finger* "AFK! And we all have our feelings on the afk. But is a mule really a "true" afk? You got a person in the server doing stuff, and even if a server saw everyone on it bring a mule, you're still talking, what, 12 bloody people?

A single decent team could blast through the parade in their sleep. None of the busy work is tedious. None of the enemies a challenge.

This isn't like some fresh faced lump of vault meat parkoured their way out of earle and the wendibabies and is riding the hard work.

So I'm curious, have I just had some bad luck, or is a mule along for the ride just as "bad" as the rest of the afkers?

Also, I do entirely understand any animosity directed at the idea of mules in GENERAL. Not everyone can afford or have access to multiple devices and by cheating with a cheap mule vs paying for 1st in a roundabout moon logic sort of way, it is denying pre-war money flow into the game.

This isn't about the yes/no debate about the ethics of a mule in general. I'm here for a temperature reading just about bringing one, if you have one, to the parade.

Mind you, I ain't a fan of the instant death routine from before, but there has to be a balance. It doesn't matter if it is the players or the boss, if someone is getting run like they're bonnie blue, something is wrong, cause the only bonnie blue there should be in a relationship is the real bonnie blue.

I get it, instant death blows. I know. I ignored the infestations because of it. Championed the idea of them being reworked and better balanced.

This ain't it though. When you have a server full of people, including multiple 1k+ hammering nonstop on the boss... in a fireworks display that would have crashed the game in the less stable early days (yes, you used to be able to crash a server via firepower alone)... and then it STILL takes what feels like an eternity for it to go down?

That's a problem. My power armor-less build isn't god tier, and I am running a melee build, so ofc my milage will vary, but when server mates in full power armor obviously rocking better gear and better builds are getting cut down only seconds after I was...

That's a problem. For like, the end of raid boss, sure, whatever. Make him the beefiest boofiest sponge smacker that ever smacked a sponge. But for something open to more or less anyone on a server? That's intended to be group content and any old working joe could wander into and trigger?

This ain't it. It really ain't it. Like I said, make no mistake, I'm not keen on them being so easy they're done instantly, but come on bethesda.

There has to be someone left on their team that knows enough about the engine they can do something besides wildly swing the sliders in the too few hp or too many hp extremes.

And I get it. Game development hard. I know. I've been on both sides of the game industry. It is hard. But when you're a billion dollar company owned by a more billionsy company working on one of the most prestigious franchises in gaming that isn't a nintendo franchise... like come on.

Hire the people you need if you don't have them already and figure this stuff out. And before anyone tries to point at earle or the sbq and go "but they're bullet sponges!"

They're part of larger events and have other things tied to them. Ie earle, you have to keep tabs on the baby wendigo population, which means the lower levels have something to do and the higher levels can't just sit there and melt earle cause they could still get swarmed and downed if no one tends the herds.

They're not GREAT mechanics or amazing events, but they have something going on more than an assaultatron popping players like they were the shadow cutouts in campfire tales.

Cause that's what this one was for a bit. It was on the one farm, he got into the one barn, and anytime anyone got a bead on him to try and pop a few off... down they went. It was a literal shooting gallery. The only thing that turned it around was the one lucky fella it didn't immediately zero in on and he took the chance to kite it out of the barn.

There just, has to be a middle ground.

Picked up the 2p color of her cheap at a show, and her hips are borked. Loosey goosey to the point of one exploded while trying to pop her apart to tighten them up and the other refuses to be any kind of tighter than a cooked pasta noodle.

So what would i be looking for to make sure i got ones that were the right size?

Dirty pitman, glowing veggie, and glowing unicorn so far. Coincidentally all three on my lvl 21 mule lol.

The wild sensitivity difference while using a controller on pc makes it utterly unusable. It'd be nice to be able to build, complete the challenge, and then not have to reposition everything. Or have to go into pc settings and have to manually swap sensitivity settings while hoping the minimized game doesn't crash.

We get it. Like, eight patches ago you did a thing and enshitified the build ui as much as you improved it and you want to show off the new camera mode.

Really, we get it. You made a thing and you want to make absolutely positively sure people use whether they want to or not. But could you pretty, pretty please hash out the sensitivity? Or if that's too much, make the movement control more intuitive like proper flight controls.

Or even better, just stop requiring it for challenges? Cause what are you REALLY challenging with it? Our ability to read to make sure we don't miss it being needed? Or our ability to press a single button/key?

Some properly fire figures in there, but another reboot on the packaging and distro for origins is bittersweet.

THIS IS MY OWN OPINION! THERE IS NO INFORMATION ABOUT IT, JUST MY DOOM AND GLOOM FEARS!

I have a sinking feeling that them returning to the build a figure idea means they're going to be some kind of exclusive, or worse, a signal they're returning to the idea of a subscription model like classics.

Poked into the target that i grabbed a $12 roton from last week to see if the battlecat and fright fighter had followed suit... And the whole endcap was gone and they weren't moved to the main aisle. Asked an employee and they said they were told to salvage the whole thing.

Origins he-man and spikor, the electronic sword, chronicles battlecat, core roton, and origins fright fighter. Only the roton was on clearance and only the core figures were moved to the main action figure aisle. Everything else was salvaged out on mon.

I'd be wary about trying to wait for the perfect clearance prices, stuff might be gone before it even hits any clearance.
