Re: Let us Devour our Companions (or use other corpse abilities on them)
You should lose the companion that you feed on. No one should have to put up with being eaten (can't believe I have to spell out the obvious). Also, lore-wise, they're not like a player, who's a vestige, when you feed on them, they die. It's not like a vampire, who can just drain a little blood.
I have always thought the violently spiteful reactions to Nazeem were beyond strange. Wanting to stab a person who makes a condescending remark to you is just.. yeah, no.

When I first read this response, I thought I may have gone a little too far with that comment of mine, but then I realized that people have been doing things like this for ages to characters they dislike, like Nazeem from Skyrim.

Re: Let us Devour our Companions (or use other corpse abilities on them)
I would think you should at least take a significant hit to rapport for doing that, so it would have to be a carefully considered decision and not something you'd automatically hit whenever they die.

Spreadsheet balancing never made sense to begin with.
Trying to describe game balance with math rather than experience and qualitative observation is building a house upon sand.
Re: Feedback on Huntsman's Warmask Mythic
It's especially bad because you can't run a 2 piece monster set due to it taking up the helmet slot. At least Gaze of Sithis has a genuine use case despite its downsides.

Both games played primarily outside of steam.
I assume you're basing "the exact same numbers of players" on Steam charts. As you say that both games are played primarily outside of Steam, what are your "outside of Steam" numbers for both games, and the source of those numbers?
Absolutely, after all it's a thread that is based on steam charts as a part of a whole, having most obviously observable statics out there for most games. You are free to think that it's not a representative sample of overall population, there's nothing wrong with it.
I never suggested that, one way or the other, I simply pointed out that you were presumably basing your comments on Steam populations while stating that both games were primarily played outside of Steam, and therefore asking what your corresponding "out of Steam" figures were.
Not sure what figures are you so desperate to get there as zenimax keeps it as one of their best kept secrets for various reasons, I'd speculate but that might get redacted. This "primarily out of steam" thing is more of a sign of caution as steam always getting dismissed as an unreliable source, because "we all play from the client" thing going on dedicated forums. Also it was a fact some six or so years ago, when someone on a dev team was asked on a stream (or irl event?), was a long time ago to remember who and where it was. Doubt it's still the case, but we don't have a better recent reference afaik. And if those figures aren't good we're never seeing them.
I'm not desperate at all, I'm simply suggesting that if you're going to compare the player numbers for two games both of which are primarily played outside of Steam then basing that comparison solely on Steam figures renders the comparison pretty meaningless. Somewhat reminiscent of the Blue Stone of Galveston, for Blackadder fans.
That's a fair suggestion then, still we can only talk about the parts we do aware of and seeing trends there projecting it to overall population. It's partially anecdotal territory but that's what we have on a 30mil or so platform is a pretty good microcosm of what is happening on a more global scale, imo.

Except for the fact that we are always rescuing them from or seeing them lying on the ground in dungeons so not sure how much help they would be
I agree though it is odd Undaunted never got one
Re: Tone-deaf AUA on Reddit
Also wanted to follow up here. Thank you for the feedback on the AUA. We are taking this feedback to the team to see how we can improve these in the future. The goal with these is to provide a pipeline for communication. Especially with recent changes to leadership, we felt it was important to have an AUA that covered a wide mount of topics. But we are taking in the feedback to improve these in the future along with some of the commentary about the game to share with our team for continued improvements.
It's great you're always here Kev. But after 6 weeks I think the new studio head needs to take front and center with his vision for the game. He's not an outsider, he's been with the game for a fair while, he would already have vision. It would be great if skinnycheeks is allowed to have a 1 on 1 with Jo about the current place of the game and the future direction. Given free reign to ask anything and not pre scripted Q&A.

Re: Let us Devour our Companions (or use other corpse abilities on them)
You're a monster and Ember doesn't deserve that. If you want to devour your companion you permanently lost that companion on that toon for balance.
Re: Feedback on Huntsman's Warmask Mythic
This mythic has interesting visuals and effects, but its stats are definitely below the standard level. I find it hard to see it being competitive in any scenario. As a damage-focused mythic, the 8% damage increase (with the 4% damage reduction against non-targets) feels far too conservative—well below Veloth’s performance in PvE, and PvP players likely won’t ever pick it over Monomyth. This mythic either needs a redesign or a bold buff to its numbers.
