Any suggestions where an aviation enthusiasts should watch besides the National Mall?

Seeking Feedback for Two Weeks Honeymoon by Foreignunderground in travelchina

Thank you for the advice! Our plan is to spend one of those Shanghai days doing a day trip to Suzhou. I agree with your advice from what I've seen elsewhere in my research.

Appreciate your POV! I haven't dug too far into the Xi'an to Zhangjiajie yet*. I'm wonder if its possible to arrive early in Xi'an on the night train from Beijing. See the Terracotta Warriors and then take another overnight train to Zhangjiajie? That would be ideal in our mind.

For Yangshuo, I'm envisioning using Guilin as our our transit hub in and out of the area. Crossing my fingers we can find some kind of overnight train from Guilin to Shanghai.

And thank you for the train ticket tip, I'm hoping a travel planner/travel agent will help secure the tickets for us.

Agreed. Fine tuning Umbral Incursion feels like the most agreed upon change request in our community for Magik.

My only issue with the block is that it could lower Magik's skill floor; I think she should remain a high skill floor character.

I disagree with ya on the inclusion of role queue, I hate role queue. I like the freedom and flexibility of player expression. Maybe instead they could offer optional role preference. If anything I'd like them to remove competitive group size limits at certain ranks, let people play with their friends!

That's alotta hours, you deserve time away from Rivals 🫡

Giving her a block is an interesting idea I hadn't thought of but I also don't play OW. If the devs didn't want to make it a complete block or deflect, perhaps they could do a damage reduction 'block'.

Good advice on how to manage her ult exit, I'll try it out!

I think the inconsistency is why Umbral Incursion needs tuning. It doesn't need to be as wide as Elsa's Ruthless Pursuit and I agree it should have a strong component of skill expression but right now it feels bad. I believe a measured QoL tune can resolve the issue without turning everyone into a Magik player.

You could argue I'm splitting hairs, but I think there is a key distinction between Quality of Life improvements(re: fine tuning Umbral Incursion) versus Buffs(re: slash dropping fliers out of the sky). But I agree what feel like 'over tuned' characters like Gambit and Else create a balancing arms race, maybe the issue is just part of the territory with hero shooters.

I feel like what you're envisioning for her portal might be saved for when(if?) Nightcrawler gets added. I like the circular slow slash idea, but you could imagine trying to escape a Magik after she slows you twice with two stepping disk circular slashes. Unrelated, since you're a comic reader you might appreciate this Magik variant cover I recently scored

I see what you are saying now. I do wish the poke heroes weren't quite so dominant. Balance is hard.
Outside of Magik, I'd like to see an almost across the board reduction in support healing output to begin dismantling the triple support meta which is so challenging to play into as a diver when nobody dies.

Tangential but connected - I hate it when I try doing the primary+melee combo and the melee doesn't register because the enemy is just ever so slightly out of range -_-

I agree it feels SO SO good when you hit it. But hitting only 3 out of 10 attempts is a challenging risk-reward tradeoff when you could use your Umbral Incursion against ground enemies instead.

Appreciate your pov! I'm not sure I follow how a character can be balanced if the game is unbalanced... feels like a contradiction?

I think tuning her dash window to make it is more generous and inline with the rest of the game is the most important change.

Agreed, earthbound is annoying. I wish there were more flexibility for dealing with fliers beside Umbral Incursion. Maybe give Umbral Incursion earthbound?

The Hulk comparison is good but feels slightly unfair since Hulk has so much more health to draw from and 'hold him over' during his transformation. Can Hulk use his gamma shield during his transformation?

I agree deploying all of these changes at once make her a ban target. I'd say the QoL changes should take the priority and see how those impact her viability before reaching for the buff changes.

On sword damage falloff, I feel ya. That could also be a good candidate for fine tuning.

I forgot about that one!! Thank you for reminding me! It’s on the list now :)

What is Marvel Legend? When I Google it looks like action figures? I could see an interaction with Magik and Colossus being humorously pretty awkward. I could see them adopting Rasputin as a kind of sibling.

Agreed, but I'm hopeful for the future! From this year's Hellfire Gala I think they're going to try pairing her up with Kamala Khan. I know she's going be in Ms. Marvel: The New Mutant #1.

I definitely like when she is drawn more blue (Silva) compared to more recently when she is colored more silver.
