Hokk.1954

Finished up the journal pages in Skywatch, returned to Mabon's room and she's not there. Have explored the rest of the rest of the tower, completed the story, and ran another alt through the entire story. Still gone https://imgur.com/a/A4fcVld

I thought this kind of thing had already been dealt with when this kept happening in early LS4 maps. Can we not lock the great debate hall poi behind an event chain that literally requires at least 5 people to start it? Map completion is a solo achievement so it doesn't make sense that in order to map complete Amnytas we need to find 4 other people that will stand in a blue circle for us.

As the source of your direct quote, I will say it's not that I didn't think of it, it's that I legitimately don't think it's a problem. Pretty much every solo encounter should be done in seconds so you don't need very many fields. (If it takes longer for you and you're actively thinking about quick uptime, maybe you need to think about one of your two free equipment sets focusing on damage, take it from someone with 21 full map completes) Even then mortar kit has 4 fields on its own that it can drop and no one should realistically be taking the other elites if they're focused on quickness as sneak gyro and elixer do nothing to contribute and crate's cd is far too long to be worth it. Poison gas shell in particular is a 5 second field on a 10 second cooldown which covers 50% of the time on its own. If a player can't work around that let alone all the other fields you'd have access to, it's absolutely pilot error on their part. In short, assuming we can actually get the finishers to hit the uptime we need. (Which I am still skeptical of) fields are the least of my concern because of the myriad of them engi has access to on a single util skill alone.

I will preface that I believe the upcoming kinetic accelerators change is intriguing and I am interested to see it play out. However, I would like to suggest adding other finishers such as whirl and projectile finishers to the list of options to proc the trait adding an internal cd for the trait if necessary. Limiting players to just leap and blast finishers feels a little too restrictive for quickness builds. The only consistent finisher for this I can think of for maintaining the boon is hammer 3, which is a skill that locks you into it for an extended period. While there are a myriad of blast finishers they are all on higher cooldowns which would likely mean we have to slot into several blast finishers arguably limiting our utility access just as much. This is besides the fact that the heal variant of scrapper won't have as much access to these skills if it wants to do the job effectively. As for the combo fields themselves, I'm not as worried about this as it's rare in actual scenarios that a combo field of some kind isn't below whatever the group is smashing. This is why I suggest adding in other finishers as well. Projectile finishers will allow players to slot in rifle, whirl finishers will allow players to maintain quickness a little easier with shredder gyro (this skill in particular is why the trait would need an internal cooldown if whirl finishers are added) and by extension allow players to expand their utility slot options. I hope that the developers take this into serious consideration and rethink how they're approaching scrapper with this change as I do believe combo finishers are an underutilized part of the game in high-end PvE these days and would love to see it be a way to fuel boons again.

Wouldn't let me attach it here so I'll post a link https://imgur.com/a/InvMd1P but as the title said, I got the free stuff a second time and wanted to report it.

I just don't get why this happens every time. I've pointed it out in every AFC thus far and was hoping we were seeing some positive change when they allowed us to pick up the one poi in Jahai at the gate (first time in all of LS4 we didn't have an event locked map completion), but then they tripled down with this map locking one poi behind not one, but two events both of which are metas that seem to be on hour long timers. It makes no sense to me whatsoever.
