    It's pointless because it doesn't stop me from "exploiting" this game like a badman.
  4. What a completely pointless MA change. I'll still PL to 50 in a day.
  5. ((Holy **** dude. Holy ****.))
  6. So far this has only happened on characters below 50.
  7. Bases:

    Unable to have any sg logo other than Biohazard for all base items that use SG logos.

    Mission Architect:

    Cannot publish/test ANY AE arcs with custom enemies.

    PVP:

    Heal Decay and Travel Suppression are turned on in zones for some reason.
  8. Yet something else the devs have broken while obsessing over MARTy.
  9. Xanatos

    Base Bugs in I21

    I'm having this problem too. Pathetic.

    majority of players in the game =/= majority of players in the AE.

    GG.

    One day you'll post more than a sentence.

    He went to another superhero MMORPG for a bit and then vanished. His stories were brillianrt.

    10 Years of CoH

    The pre-beta forums opened in September 2001. I've been following this game ever since. Through pre-release, betas, expansions, multiple accounts, and now free to play. 10 years of my life. I was 15 then. I'm 25 now. I've basically grown up with this game.

    It's weird in a way. I was on my way to sign up to another MMORPG's website but decided to have a quick look at COH first. That quick look turned into a decade.

    I regret nothing. This has been, and continues to be, an awesome IP and equally awesome game.

    Just out of interest...how many other old timers are still kicking around?

    Well people can use it for whatever they want. (I'm sure some people even use it for cybersex!) But I've found that most people tend to just use it for farming. Which is what I meant when I said farming was "the main thing people use AE for."
  14. Devs do this:

    Make TOs numerically identical to SOs.

    Replace SOs and DOs with TOs.

    Voila. Suddenly the enhancement system is simple. This removes:

    -TO/DO/SO/IO/Purple/PVPIO/etc confusions. It just becomes TO/IO/Rare

    -Removes all the complicated stupid names of SOs/DOs.

    -Removes the complication of SOs/DOs being origin specific.

    -Is easier to implement than renaming EVERY DO AND SO IN THE GAME. All you're doing is giving TOs the value of SOs and selling them everywhere. It will make the enhancement system VERY SIMPLE, which will compliment the VERY COMPLICATED invention system.

    As for what you can use the SO stores for - use them as vendors for costumes/places for contacts. It makes much more sense for magical contacts to be in a magic shop...than it does for them to be chilling in the street 24/7.

  16. I don't think this is a case of being "popular". This is more of as case of accruing a large post count largely of snarky posts.
  17. ((I like it mate. Watch out for Baron Blitzman though. He has a habit of killing anyone that claims to be faster than him! ))
  18. Discover how to make money. Suddenly all these problems go away.

    Put aside an afternoon on a tuesday and wednesday. Check out EVERY level 50 recipe/enhancement. When you find one with a decent gap in the two prices...buy a couple recipes. Craft em. Sell em at the weekend.

    You should make a profit.

    Start doing this in bulk. Start doing this with multiple items.

    You should make more profit.

    Putting aside an afternoon to check out the pricing differentials in the market is the best way to make money in this game.

    Yeah they tweaked it yesterday to ALLOW that.

    In BETA it wasn't allowing people to farm. Which is, you know, the main thing people use AE for.
