Per the reddit comment - YES, always. We should ALWAYS cross-post on major community forums. A solid communications strategy would be to post teaser information and a link everywhere leading here for the meat. Not saying we should make smaller posts on Reddit, but it would behoove us to say "this is the main stuff, but there's so much more to read here: [link]".
As to the "meat", hot dayum! There's way too much to talk about here so I'll just keep it to a two key points:
- Love the Tanker buffs! It's so needed because right now, what's the point of playing a Tank when a Brute is same-but-better? I kind of feel the same way about Defenders right now TBH. When corruptors are around, do Defenders even make sense?
- The combined Ouro is not only a good idea, it's a GREAT idea. Particularly with the travel issues for Rogue and Vig. Also the reduced alignment needs (totally fair and sensible... I agree with not making alignment a touch-a-gull event, but would like to be able to do it in a single day).
- Alternate animations and new ways to customize our characters is GREAT as always.
That all said, there are still some key things I'm hoping for in the game that I want to reiterate:
- Weather for zones
- Improved variety and activity per zones (more NPC variety, more mini-zone events, construction changes, give us a reason to visit and re-explore our existing zones before focusing on new ones)

That post is actually so old that some of the things I asked for have actually been made! That said, the key thing that hasn't (other than Atlas for the most part) is building the character and depth of city zones. The atlas arc missions, the variety of enemy activity, the plus-up of the buildings and character... the changes planned for Striga are very much in-line with what I'm suggesting, but not just the sky; as much else as possible, themed to the zone. KR for example is a dumpier part of town; let's capitalize on that. Maybe FF could have some rich people having a house party on a rooftop (and maybe that party gets attacked eventually
) Stuff like that.
I feel like I have enough character variety to last me a while (I still haven't played a Titan Weapons character or Wind control... so many others to get through first), but it's so tempting to skip the cities and their content because there's not much to see there that I haven't seen a hundred times (literally).
