I play on Freedom Server and it seems like this game is scrambled all over the place. Every level is in every zone, normal mish teams are scarce, AE farms are terrible at best, I play siren's call and it used to be booming all day every day. RV is okay. It seems harder to find a team, and pvp is not nearly as populated as it once was.

Basically:

I feel that it is somewhat harder to find a team now than it was four months ago.

I feel that the PvP population has diminished.

Story arcs already give you merits which you can save up for random rolls. Obviously most arcs aren't worth a full gold recipe on their own.

[/ QUOTE ]

Was unaware that Story Arcs gave merits now, have been gone for a little while. All the same though, I find that most Gold recipes aren't worth the gold they are made of..so....gimme more gold!!!!!! NOA!

I feel that Single Origin Enhancements as rewards for completing a story arc or earning bounty in Siren's Call is a bit outdated. I would like to see more valubale goodies on the end of this.

For Story Arcs: Random Gold Recipe Roll
For Siren's Call: Bounty is saved from day to day and you are able to use a set amount of bounty the same way you are able to use merits/tickets.

Edit: Was unaware that Story Arcs give merits now, but still Siren's Call needs some goodies.

Why does this option not exist? I could see possibilities for abuse if this was unlimited, but why not 1 rename token per account?

In simple terms, the answer is the SG 'belongs' to all of its members, not just a single person.

[/ QUOTE ]

The SG belongs to the person with the power to kick everyone else. If they dislike the SG so much that they choose to quit that is between that individual and the SG leader. I think this is a brilliant idea.

[ QUOTE ]
No.

This is a Horrendous idea.

Among other things it separates the player base into 50's and 'everyone else'

The Boxed Set has already shipped. It's too late to alter the text on the box now, and anything else would be false advertising.

Please feel free to end this thread, Now. If you feel like moaning about Powerleveling, Farming, and Exploits: please go to the appropriate threads and stop cluttering up the Suggestions forum with a thinly veiled excuse to bash the Devs.

You seem angry. This is merely a suggestion not a mandate. At the end of the day it is a video game so don't blow your lid. Also, 50s SHOULD be seperate from other players to an extent. Isn't that why we have different level zones? It is not like AE is the only thing in the game anyways. Right now, at least on fReedom AE is the game. What about all of the other [censored] this game 'has to offer' ?

Off to work. Just needed a good discussion before I go. Later kiddos.

And yet people are being threatened by the Devs for creating/running missions that they want which include but are not limited to farm missions.

[/ QUOTE ]

No they aren't.

Positron actually said this.

[ QUOTE ]
Players that have abused the reward system egregiously may lose benefits they have gained - leading up to and perhaps including losing access to the characters power-leveled in this fashion.





Players who knowingly use an exploit when creating an arc, run the risk of having access to MA suspended, or worse- depending on the severity of the action, their account banned.






Q) “If I powerlevelled a character, am I going to lose them?”



A) Probably not. Only the worst of the worst, exploitive, powerlevelled characters will be removed from the game.






Q) “What about all the farming and abusing that goes on in the normal game? How come you guys don’t put a stop to that?”



A) We address rewards abuse all the time. We put timers on missions that could get reset for rewards. We take rewards off of critters that are considered exploitively farmable. Or we just change the mission. Merit rewards are another way we have handled the situation. You can’t run really fast stuff over and over and get a reward every time. Again, we are looking out for “Disregard for the risk and/or time to reward ratio”, and we take action.

[/ QUOTE ]

Farming and powerleveling aren't banned. Using exploits and abusing the reward system is.

[/ QUOTE ]

By far the most articulate post yet. But my point is farm missions in AE appear to be bannable based on my current understanding of this new system. Most players will never come to the forums and will never understand why their missions slots are being removed. If everyone else could remember my first post, it wasn't to allow farming but it was to do the opposite so that 'action' is not needed to be taken against individuals.

Bunch of hypocrisy thus far. O yeah! Use the system the way THE PLAYER base sees fit! Oh, no no no! Not that way! You are leveling too fast and angry old man and angry old lady can't find a team because their entire SG left i13.

[/ QUOTE ]

The WAAAAAAAAAH! is strong in this one Obi Wan.

*Sob*

They're making me play by the same rules they apply to everyone else in the game! The big MEANIES!

*Sob*

[/ QUOTE ]

Hardly speaking for myself at all, I only have 4 lvl 50s toons and rarely PVE at all. Refer to my original post...

[ QUOTE ]
The whining about the farm nerfs thread is that way -->

[/ QUOTE ]
I don't care at all about farming nerfs. To the best of my knowledge there was one single farming nerf and that was the Rikti Command Officers which were giving incorrect XP. So, the door is thataway--->

Hello new player, thank you for purchasing this new boxed version of City of Heroes: Architect Edition! You'll be able to play with the feature you purchased to play with just as soon as you see all of the other content in the game!

Also, we know you were looking forward to teaming with your friends using the much-touted sidekick system, but they're using a feature you can't!

We hope you enjoy your time here in Paragon City!


...



I don't think so.

[/ QUOTE ]

Then feel free not to complain when players use the AE system the way they see fit.

[ QUOTE ]
So what happens to the new player who has some great ideas who wants share them with the rest of us? AE is a big selling point for the game right and to turn around changing that is not really a good idea for the growth of this game.

[/ QUOTE ]

And banning farming is?

[ QUOTE ]
This game lacks end-game content. Put an AE building in PI, Grandville, and the Rikti War Zone. Make AE building accessible only to level 50 toons. That's all.

[/ QUOTE ]

/unsigned

1. AE arcs are made by the players not the devs. So you can't ask the devs to force players to make content they don't want to make.


[/ QUOTE ]


And yet people are being threatened by the Devs for creating/running missions that they want which include but are not limited to farm missions.

[ QUOTE ]
Because that would be useful how?

[/ QUOTE ]

Would end the power leveling that everyone not-including myself is so upset about according to Positron. Would make Atlas park an accessible zone for lowbies again. Would also be something more to look forward to at level 50. Anything else?

Sweet I'll Get Right On It!!! O wait I did thanks!

[ QUOTE ]
I would be willing to pay the same prices we currently pay to add more toons to a server, to purchase more story arc slots per account. I created an 11 mission story arc that I am extremely proud of, but it used up all 3 of my published story allotment slots. I have one arc left on my 2nd account, but have several different stories vying for the one slot. Perhaps this idea has been mentioned already, if so, please let me know where to read up on it. Thanks.

great suggestion

I was told that it is hard to make a good ice/rad troller. I have been playing one in Siren's and he owns [censored]. My only problem is endo. Need help with endo and any other suggestions..

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, it is just recently that I realized how good my ice/rad troller is. So I am sticking with him. Still have to put my build in mids then will ask for some advice on him. Only problem is he is only lvl 35 so far so he doesnt have a ton of ios or anything.

Well if you need help with "your" build. Post it and let others find away to help you by analyzing it. Since your Build is fit for your style of play, But I find this topic ironic with your other post?

Here you say you OWN with Ice/Rad trollers
But on your other post you state " I NEED a PVP Hero" ***note to self**Ice/rad IS a hero.

[ QUOTE ]

My squishies keep getting pwned by everything.


[/ QUOTE ]

[ QUOTE ]

All I need is the primary and secondary, the rest I can do myself.


[/ QUOTE ]

You have a primary and secondary now.. Ice/rad but you need help? I find irony in your back to back threads LOL

All kidding aside post your build is the best way to have poeple help you, that way they can see whats giving you issues.

Later

I think what he meant by "DB" is, DB just isn't made for pvp. BS or Spines ftw. However, if you can make DB work, hasten on a regen scrapper is must, FA + tactics could be useful, MOG is very useful to me, my BS scrapper has WEbnade because he is totally melee. Hope that helps.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah Ive heard dual blades isnt great for PVP, but does it totally suck, or can it work? If by taking tactics and Focused Accuracy, Id have to lose something. Is Jumping dropable?

[/ QUOTE ]

If you are looking to just be an okay scrapper and not like the top solo duelist, then DB should be okay with a few procs. Also, jumping is not droppable.

I need a hero pvper that is top tier in duels. Zones are fine, but I am all about 1 v 1. I need, the build that owns most of the time. My regen scrappers keep getting pwned by brutes. My squishies keep getting pwned by everything. All I need is the primary and secondary, the rest I can do myself.

My first statement was a bit too powerful. What I really mean is when we are met with a nerf this AT type attitude, sometimes it is probably better just to buff some others. Then again, maybe i'm just pissed that [censored] can hit through my IH like nothing now and my regen only really matters when i'm high-tailing it >.< Also, do rad debuffs even work anymore? meaning the -to-hit, also storm -to hit

There is nothing in the last two patches that has anything to do with PVP at all.

[/ QUOTE ]

"Well, start nerfing PVP again, and then stop it! Good day to you, sir!"

[/ QUOTE ]

Very well put.

Every cry for a nerf should be answered with a buff. There is no reason that defense sets cant defend, regen sets cant regen, and hold sets cant hold. Give everyone more hitpoints, damage, resistance, make IH a toggle again, give widows back their uber defense and a number of buffs across the board to make pvp last longer and more interesting. Nerfing does not solve anything. Make sets matter again also. Back to the drawing board, issue16? lol Seriously. This would be a great tribute to the pvp community and we will see a large number of returning faces. Think about it.

I have two and have never tried anything else. All I notice is power boost but it doesn't seem to help too much since my primary is sonic. Help?
