They no longer unlock additional effects on your skills. They give you talent points that you can add into certain skills that just boosts their damage.

This sadly isn't s option for me since I'm a returning player with only 2 max level characters. I was just curious if there was a faster way.

This was just a vent post I made in the heat of the moment. After I get some better gear and more experience with the fights I'm sure I'll be fine. As far as examples, I guess a hard mode raid boss tuned for 1 person with unforgiving mechanics if you dont execute them properly. There might be other content in the game that I'm unaware of that has this, I was really only venting about ToI and OI in particular. That's all.

I'd like to first preface this by saying this is just a personal rant to get a few things off my chest, I'm perfectly fine with being called a terrible player, baddie, git gud ect...I acknowledge I'm not a great player, not by a long shot but this is more about how certain types of content "feel" to me personally. If you are going to keep developing content like Tower of Infinity and Outlaw Island could you at least make solo content actually feel like a actual PvE boss encounter and not a endless cc chain into oblivion. Give me a fight built around 1 shot mechanics, positioning, dps checks and i-framing rather than being locked into 5-6 second crowd control animations and a endless mount of parrying and resists. There is nothing about this that is fun unless you happen to over gear it and can zerg it down in 10 seconds. Also keep in mind that I'm in no way, shape or form asking for this content to be removed or nerfed, but every single form of solo content in this game feels like a pvp match against a A.I. that has no cool downs on any of their abilities, nothing about this is even remotely fun and it's frustrating beyond belief. That pretty much wraps up my rant, this probably won't be well received, but I just needed to vent. TL;DR: Please add more solo content in this game that feels like PvE.

Is there a way to obtain your classes legendary soul badge similiar to the mystic badge aka without having to fuse 2 of them? (At least with the mystic badge you can just easily farm out 500g and straight up buy it) I'm assuming the lunar coin event is only temporary and even if you go down the reduced mats route, you still need a total of 100 lunar coins for the Divine grace stone and the other blue stones that cost lunar coins. If the event only lasts 28 days, that's 112 lunar coins if you don't have to spend any of them on soul badges, If you are a new or returning player (like me) and you don't have a ton of alts running HM/CS/ToI every day, there's no way you're going to be able to take advantage of the reduced materials path for your legendary soul badge and the only other route available to you is to literally buy 2000 gold worth of materials, or painstakingly farm either the gold from dailies/weeklies or futilely try to get into raids on your under geared character in a attempt to farm the materials that way. I have no issue with the latter since it's a MMO and every MMO is a grind, but i can't imagine many raids accepting new and returning players with terrible gear. Is there a faster solution to getting this or will I just have to suck it up and grind it out, hoping to get into the raids that drop the items i need?

Ever since this patch hit the game keeps disconnecting randomly, it's more frequent in 12 player raids. Hope something is done about this sion.
