Anyone who wants to resume discussions on something I've had to clean up on the HLI thread, please feel free to discuss it here or make your own thread about the specific topic.
Anyway please feel free to discuss to your hearts content any particular idea that has been risen on the ideas thread.
PS I really liked Charlie's archnemesis idea.

I agree with ctown 100%. I love my HN skill, given speed and efficiency is what I look for as a villain/treasure hunter. The difficulty of navigating through the mazes without TD skill can be side stepped if we work our grey cells on it. I actually enjoy the challenge of going through the mazes not knowing where the traps could be. Being stopped and unable to proceed with my timed hunts due to pirates, on the other hand, is unforgivable... but then, that's just me :)

I don't actually mind the mazes, just the cases and days that I lose when I have to completely redo a university quest from scratch.

I agree with SS that probably the best option re HN and TD is to add some new content that uses HN and makes it more useful/desirable.
The big problem I have with the selection of the two skills, (particularly for those of us who made the choice when the skills were first introduced) is that you have to make the choice before you have any real idea on what TD can help you with.
The sleuthetania helps there in that newer players may now have experienced the maze in the cargo hold before making a choice.
I'd also support a usable once only method of changing sides (Maybe as an optional reward on a featured mystery).
To make sure that only people who really wanted change use it, it would need to have some cost's. ie $500,000 + 1 Million xp.
Of course it would also remove all benefits from having been a member of that faction (Book, Cairo travel and skill etc).
To give an indication of how deeply I feel about what I feel was a bad choice, I recently re-read the retirement rules to see if that would allow a change (nope). (So yes I was considering sacrificing over 2 Million xp to switch.)
