Quote:hey, I gave a you a solution, you choose not to use it.Originally Posted by Shubbie
yeah thats a great idea, so why not just pack up and close up villian faction if that is the only answer.
Face it, many folks preferred heroside and went there. Keep in mind many villains also went rogue.
Also it has been shown repeatedly that the mission is soloable. Go read the threads showing how or wait till later in the day when more folks are on. -

Doesnt help the mission is not cross faction and villianside is a complete and desolate wasteland on almost every server.

Or let GMs remove the farms, or add some sort of reward block if x people report until GMs can verify.

Personally yes I find them very bad for new people. If a seasoned vet is doing it, I have no worry, but if somone who has not even got a few months under them does it, i'm pissed.

Oh, they give tickets. I've heard a lot of people using it to solo farm, not xp but tickets. A front-loaded ambush will max out your tickets in about 5 minutes, then you reset and leave.
The problem is that pretty much no one uses their ticket rolls for salvage of all things. Not to sell anyway. They use it for recipes, and may use tickets for the salvage to make THOSE recipes, but not one's wasting tickets on gobs of salvage.
I can count the number of times I've rolled for salvage and that's only to CRAFT recipes. -

I don't know about you, but I've found plenty of interesting and enjoyable stories in MA.
People have differing tastes.
As to the exploit, it'll be patched when Issue 19 patches.
People can simple avoid the spam by not visiting atlas. Why ANYONE ever would want to visit atlas boggles my mind, seeing as how you can go to galaxy or start as a Preatorian.
Everyone just calm down and have fun until Issue 19 comes out.
People take this game waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too seriously.

Quote:Funny enough I've never seen either of this spam.Originally Posted by DumpleBerry
I'm going to assume that the RMT people are no longer a concern of the Devs/GMs/whoever in this game. I reported one in Atlas last night and three hours later it was still there.
I wish there was something I could do, because between this and the incessant "LOL LVL 50 IN SIXX HOWURS!!!! HUR HURHUR" spam I've been seeing, it's enough to make me want to quit.
Outside of the ephemeral treatment of the boards' EULA, I know the game EULA and would be happy to banhammer any of these sewer dwellers.
But seeing as how I don't do any gaming in Atlas EVER, it's not surprising. -
Quote:See now, I can see THAT being a ZONE event in one or two zones that they use with their new zone event tech.Originally Posted by Psyte
The Coralax or some other group is trying to submerge Talos Island or some place, so heavy waves, rain, etc., will persist as long as they're out and about mucking with the weather? Could be done in April, with the badges all being flower related (April showers bring May flowers - is that how it goes?).
Even better as it doesn't knock out mobs needed for hunts, for a large amount of time.
The part I bolded however, probably wouldn't be easy to create and have it look good.
Soooooo, we are back to the "use of developer time issue". -
Quote:I think we can all agree that minimal effects like that would be fun. But a total weather system for most of the zones in the game . . . no.Originally Posted by Ironik
But can you imagine how ineffably COOL it would be to have all that stuff? Look at all the wasted development time on places such as Warburg where no one ever goes. Simply by shifting all the Dev time used on that PvP nonsense -- which by the game's very nature is impossible to balance and no fun to play outside of extremely restricted builds and methods -- we could've had all those neat things.
Maybe it would've caused trouble with low-end systems, but the Devs have proven themselves equal to tricky technical tasks like UltraMode and power customization. I have faith in their abilities to figure out a way around the worst aspects of adding weather.
War Witch may not like weather because there's no "gameplay value" -- whatever that means -- but fun is fun, and "fun" is more than reason enough to add something to a game. I don't know how many hours I've spent simply doing things like sliding on ice, whether it be during the Winter Event or in Frostfire's lair. Sometimes silly things are fun to do. Remember when all the ponds froze over during the first Winter Lord attack? Man, those were some good times.
Not until they finish up the large wish list of customization (for pcs and the older zones) on their plate. I see weather on the same priority as drivable cars/vehicles.
Of course if they want to stick it into a booster pack for those that want it and would like to directly pay for its development, that's an option.
*runs*
Don't hurt me.

Quote:This, again!Originally Posted by GMan3
I could be wrong in reading the posts on the Dom/Kheld problem, but it seems to be that any toons on the test server before a certain Issue 19 patch there could not properly respec the toons while toons brought in after that patch didn't have a problem. Now I am not computer expert, but if this is the case, what happens to every Dom/Kheld toon on the live servers once this patch goes out to Live? We may suddenly not be able to "fix" ANY of those toons and would have to instead remake them. I can only imagine the problems this would cause with the player base. I don't think there would be a lot of people that quit the game over it, but there would be some, as well as a lot of ill will toward the company in general. In all better to wait and get the fix in place BEFORE it goes live.

Talk about ridiculous ideas. -
Quote:In limited areas, sure, THIS I could agree with. But again, if it's too much effort, I'd rather they moved it to dead last on their priorities list.Originally Posted by Iggylove
Putting aside actual particle systems, a change in textures would be kind of cool for the different seasons..as someone mentioned, snow on the ground...perhaps trees without leaves.

Quote:True. However, ultra mode effects EVERY SINGLE visual aspect of the game.Originally Posted by Santorican
Ultramode does zilch and we still got it
Weather would be a very limited enhancement, unless we are saying that every zone in the game would have a weather effect going 24/7.
Which would be just retarded. -
Quote:With the age of this engine?Originally Posted by SwellGuy
I am not in either camp on this issue but I thought I should mention just because other games do something and we don't like it there doesn't mean it couldn't be done here and work well.
I don't' agree that just about everything that can't be done well in other games can be done well here. And that opinion has nothing to do with the ability of this dev team, but more with the archaicness of this engine.
Could it be done well if the devs dug deep and hacked the hell out of this game's engine? Sure. But is it worth the effort?
For example, they took the time to get the Demon MM flame whip looking sharp while STILL being customizable. I don't' remember who said it but it was mentioned that the effort to get that working was ENORMOUS. I don't doubt that that was because of this aging engine.
However, I'm fine with them taking the time to do that cause it paid off in terms of game play, as it gave the game a type of MM that was VERY unique.
Now would weather effects give the same kind of bump? I'm of the opinion, no.
So then the question becomes is it worth the effort? I think you know where I'd lean on the answer to that. -

*Votes to NOT get weather before more costume pieces, Pool Customization, and alternate power animations, thank you very much.*
And when they do get around to weather in 2043, I'd vote that it has ZERO gameplay effect. No I do not give a flying &*#! if it makes my ice powers work better or not. I'm against game play bonuses we have no control over. ESPECIALLY the idea that my fire powers on other toons would be weakend if it rained. Thought I read that somewhere up above. I'll keep my opinion on THAT to myself as it would get me banned.
Thanks.
TL;DR; Weather=a solid gold MEH! -

Quote:Cause it needs to be said again.Originally Posted by TrueMetal
Good. I was hoping this would be the case.
I rather have an issue later with fewer bugs than one NOW that'll bork some of my characters.
Thanks for keeping us informed. -
Quote:Good to know. Glad you're not in charge.Originally Posted by Championess
Why not? They will assuredly fix them within a month in the amount of time it would have taken during the postponement.
I have 3 main toons and they are ALL doms, I still would have wanted this to go live. I mainly PvP so don't tell me about buggy content, I can handle a month of bugs. 2 years and ignoring the fact that the content is buggy can be rather irksome yes. Now if the buggy content for i19 was known and never fixed within 2 years then yeah I could see your point.
Domination unable to be used by non-villain doms and kheldians being unable to respec is not showstopping. The way that PvP is is showstopping but that didn't stop them from pushing it through.
Somehow I don't think kheld nor dominator players would appreciate their toons being broken for that long.
I have a hunch that would cause just a little uproar.
And LOLpvp. -
Quote:So releasing buggy content that breaks two ATs is raising expectations?Originally Posted by Championess
Yeah the "new" tf's are being run in abundance, the ones where you're underpowered if you haven't put the time into powering up your toon to be able to play them. I don't mind putting the time in on the live servers because that's where the few remaining people are and I know that I can just copy my character to test if I ever wanted to and not lose anything I have achieved.
New players that have joined at launch would also have learned to expect by now that fitness was a mandatory pool power to take. Things change, just not when they "should" have, the change keeps getting postponed and reduced.
Here's to lowering expectations everyday!
and yes I deleted your faces!
The forums make less sense each day.
Bottom line: they made a GOOD decision to delay if they couldn't fix the issue. -
Good decision. Sad, but understandable.
Have a happy thanksgiving WarWitch and all.

Quote:Pretty much this.Originally Posted by GMan3
Though I agree with you WHF, you have to admit that there has been many things that has been stated was "never going to happen", "not planned", or "not being looked at right now" that ended up happening, and with very little notice in all. I take pretty much anything Devs say on that front with a good degree of skepticism nowadays.
I'm of the mind we don't need more slots, but I would not be surprised (or angry) if one day they did give them to us. -
Quote:Seeing as how marketing would probably string her up by her coat tails if she revealed any new features they are working on for future issues, that interview surprised anyone.?Originally Posted by Knightfox
Nice dodging of the questions. Basically it boils down to this:
Post: Other games graphics leave you in the dust, are you planning more than Ultra Mode?
WW: Ultra mode looks nice, doesn't it?
Post: CoV had way more new costumes than Going Rogue, what's up with that?
WW: The GR costumes look nice, don't they?
Really?
Have you not been paying attention to the marketing style of NCSoft/PS?
They sure as hell would not reveal anything in an interview till it's good and near ready to be put into closed beta.
EDIT: Some of the people on these forums are acting like this is their first time reading or posting on these forums. Sheesh. -
/shrug.
I don't see my characters as heros or villains.
they are just characters playing in a game world.
If I had the choice for ALL of my toons to be able to go to any zone or do any content in the game, I'd take it. -
Quote:Originally Posted by TheJazMan
This would be a good idea and I have no idea why they remain separated.
I don't get these devs at all. They split up heroes and villain players, they split the global players....just odd.
CoX seems to be a game of getting your cake and then not being able to eat it too.
Errrr, how could heroes and villain not have been split up? COV came quite a bit after coh came out.
Other games also have international editions, and have different factions that are "split up".
Not seeing anything odd at all here. -
Quote:If it's really taking you THAT long I wouldn't even bother with Inventions, let alone purples and Incarnates.Originally Posted by Ironik
I can't even do everything in two years. I find it impossible to do TFs straight through. Look at the Screenshots forum where I've participated in a few of VexXxa's themed TFs -- I've gotten disconnected from every one of those at least once. Most TF teams aren't so tolerant of that and complete the thing before I can reboot and log back on. So, you know, major headache to do TFs. Rikti Ship and Hamidon raids, fuggedaboutit.
I'm not talking about SPEED. I'm more patient than anyone you've ever met, including you. But some things I just can't do, through no fault of my own. So all I'm saying is give those of us who can't participate in the primary way of achieving these goals a secondary way to achieve them. I don't care what it is, really. (Well, except merits. It took me more than a year to get enough merits to make a single roll for a rare recipe. I didn't get anything good but I sold it for 500,000, so that was okay, I guess. Not much of an incentive to keep joining GM teams and earn those 2 merits at a time, of course, so I figure that stuff is just pointless to do, but I tried it.)
Keep playing casually, it sounds like you are having fun.
Just pretend that the Incarnate system doesn't exist. You will save yourself a lot of unnecessary stress.
