    My modest one-off mission, even though it only has an average rating of three stars has garnered me enough Tickets from you guys playing and rating it to get me one Gold Roll.

    Thanks!

    Those tickets weren't a gift. They were a loan.

    I'll be taking my interest now.

    Sorry, Karl Rove Man, can't give or trade to villains.
  2. Outdoor Shard maps were pulled in Beta to be fixed. They're supposed to come back... soon.
  3. Monsters are supposed to be pretty equivalent to AVs. The really big DE are labeled Monsters and do not use the purple scaling code in battle, however, they have the HP of a Giant Monster.
  4. I don't want this to be a not-so-sly way to advertise my arc in the wrong place.

    It's mostly to highlight a reward/perk of having a heavily played and/or highly rated arc.

    But my forum handle and game global are the same if you're looking...

    Apparently there is a way to keep a 5 star rating. Just add the string "JSNTS" into your arc description. Go ahead and search on that.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    What's with that, anyway? Just Say No To Supradyne? I've seen it pop up in a lot of arcs.

    Instinct says a voting cartel.

    How about forming an anti-cartel JSYTS which one stars those arcs?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Maybe I should call mine "Will no one help the widow's son?" and see if that helps me get more five s-star ratings...

    (If I was at home I'd check - I'm betting it's already been used for a title.)

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Nope, no arc with that title. But, if you play my arcs, the contact uses a 'special' handshake. <wink wink>

    How about reporting it to a GM and let them determine if it's an auto-5-star club or not and not getting yourself banned for vote griefing and manipulation?

    Right. I've had Hall of Fame back for the last few days, so I was able to make another arc (a fourth) and put it up to see what would happen.

    It went up. It stayed up.

    Then I lost Hall of Fame.

    It is still up, but I cannot edit it. Which is not great, because it has a couple of text errors I would like to fix.

    Anyway, for those wondering, this is how the exciting fourth slot works (i.e., poorly).

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Before crying DOOOOOOOM!, this is the same problem we originally had in Beta where you couldn't edit an arc if you had 3 published. That was a bug. And that got fixed.

    You are now encountering another form of that bug. Don't assume that this is working as intended.

    I forget whether it was pohsyb or Posi that said it, but if you get a HoF, you get the rewards of the HoF and if later votes undo the HoF you don't lose the HoF badge or your extra slot. So, you should have 4 slots and all of them editable.

    If they're not editable, that's a bug. Bug it.

    Thanks!
  9. The latest Patch Notes on Test did not include the two notes of possibly exploitive and broken features. And there were no Live patch release notes for the latest patch on the US forums as there were on the EU forums.

    Anyway, here's what was in the last patch that was not announced while the patch was on Test:

    <ul type="square">[*]Removed Prisoners (level 30-38) from the list of creatures that could be placed in missions. Any missions that become invalid after this change will have to be edited. Do NOT “Unpublish” your mission, or you will lose your Arc ID and ratings. Please note, items that were causing issues and that were subsequently removed from the Mission Architect will need to be reworked before being introduced back into the system.[*] Removed Sky Raider Force Field Generators and Engineers from the list of creatures that could be placed in missions as allies. Any missions that become invalid after this change will have to be edited. Do NOT “Unpublish” your mission, or you will lose your Arc ID and ratings.

    I mean i know mine was for name alone and who ever reported it did not play the short mission it is a joke

    Yes I did it to see if people where stupid enough to do that without playing it haha

    Just curios where you tell why it was band

    No I am not upset I find it quite funny

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yay, you're playing mind-games with people. Good for you!! If only everyone in the game yanked people around for no good reason!!!!
  11. It would be nice if they could get vault doors to start appearing again in Safeguard missions, too.
  12. Put in some critter somewhere which only spawns at level 45 or higher. They can be a boss to fight, or an escort, or a hostage to free, or a in a custom group that accompanies/guards a boss/ally/hostage, or an ally (who helps or just runs around), or a triggered event not needed for completion so that the player may never even see it.
  13. 1. Chainsaws (tho, given the way the animation looks, I doubt this would be an easy substitution of one type of ball for another.

    2. Snowballs (another Winter Event unlockable!)

    3. Dark balls. (gotta keep Miasmists busy)

    4. Classical atom models (with their own electrons orbiting).

    5. Red pain orbs.

    6. Blue Force Field bubbles.

    7. Green heal bubbles.

    8. Orange sonic bubbles.

    9. White phantasm orbs.

    10. Rocks

    11. Pink psi orbs.
  14. Since the Data Stream acted like a Trick or Treat door during a short-lived Halloween test in Beta. I'm not surprised it's in the hunt for a random zone door mission. (Same for the back doors of Studio B.)
  15. Check his hp to see if he's AV level or EB level. Also, a Mk III analyzer is probably in order to see what's under the hood.
  16. I think two DE monsters are in plus Kraken.
  17. Zombie Man

    Carnival Maps

    Carnival Warehouse never made it into the MA. It's being worked on, though.
  18. If you think a mission is giving out an exploitive amount of tickets, then bug it and mention, "This may be an exploitive amount. I got 7,000 tickets from this mission in 25 minutes. You may want to check it out."

    If it's OK, then nothing will be done. If it's an exploit, they'll either pull the mission or lower the mission cap for tickets.
  19. BAB said he's gonna fix that the emotes don't work while hovering. ETA... soon.

    While not specifically related to the MA Reward system, there was no I14: Misc feedback thread, so, I'll put it here:

    In I14 Beta, Synapse said that the newly combined and weighted Pool C+D recipes were set to drop from defeats of Boss and higher ranked foes (very rare). So... did that make it to Live or not? It wasn't in the Patch Notes for live release and it was in the Beta Patch Notes that it was pulled.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    according to the description of the item you buy at the vendor, it has. Confirmation in the patch note would be nice, though, since it's on trust that the drop rate is weighted.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    No, that's something different. Making the new C+D pool drop (very infrequently) from the defeat of bosses/EBs/AVs is a whole new award situation. That is not mentioned in the bronze/silver/gold rolls. You may be thinking of Rare Pool A added to Pool B to create the Silver Roll.

    Thanks for that ZombieMan - I was trying to remember Awry's nic. Didn't remember The_EMPaler, who is most likely EMPulse now.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    That's Mrs. Awry-Manticore, now (Jen Dornan-Fish).



    EMpulse... hmm... Ex Libris, Nivienne, and Avatea each had a turn in nuking the forums. Wonder what someone with the handle 'EMpulse' can do to an online message board...

    Welcome, but if you've been here before, why don't I remember you? Are you using an existing account renamed, or have you indeed returned from points unknown?

    &lt;Confused&gt;

    Wait... Crickette?!?!

    [/ QUOTE ]

    No....
  23. [ QUOTE ]
    I thought the very rare drops were Purps?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    It's all relative.

    But the Purples are still in the game, that's never been changed. Beta had a new 'drop situation' and its status was never noted in the release notes.
  24. Powersets with Stealth:

    Ninjitsu
    Illusion
    Dark Miasma
    Storm

    Note that any of the group stealth powers are affect self only for custom critters.

    Combine them with powersets that debuff Perception:
    Trick Arrow
    Devices
    Ninja (pets)


    If you want to see them all together (minus Storm) in a mission where you're warned they'll be there and they're part of the story, check out "No One Has Seen a Real Ninja (Perception Challenge)" #1110.

    I recommend lowest difficulty level and a toon with no perception buffs for the full effect (bring a few yellows just in case).
