I was hoping this thread would be about SS/ brutes stomping people who whine about words.

How is it a waste of time if people are getting super high value IO's with zero risk attached?

So let me get this straight. People are dual boxing and friend to friend matching where one kills the other risk free in the hopes of getting a high value PvP IO drop?

Hmm... Very interesting.

[/ QUOTE ]

plenty of risk. you might waste your time :O

I'm trying to farm for PvP IO drops (and arena kills for our SG), but I'm having trouble finding a good method to do it. The best I've come up with is to go into the arena with my wife's character, do a duel cagematch, and just stand next to her with fire sword circle on auto. It's slow though, since it takes about 8 hits to kill her, and it's on about a 9 second recharge. So I'm looking for a better way to do things. Is there a way I can make the matches last longer than 30 minutes? Or a way I can kill her faster without having to be at the computer?

Use a toon with either A) pets or B) a damage aura. Preferably both.

when we collect more data points, we can make more solid assumptions.

For now, a high profile challenge the devs failed to respond to leads to certain fairly obvious conclusions.

I'm guessing they've recovered from their temporary MA-induced insanity and will respond to this thread the traditional way- by changing the rules to make it impossible without lining players up for the guillotine.

[/ QUOTE ]

To state that the conclusions are "fairly obvious" is flat-out ridiculous.

First of all, this is posted in the MARKET forum, not the AE forum. If it were a true "challenge" to the people in control, it should've been posted in the category where Mod 8 would most likely be the first to see it.

Secondly, to pretend like this power-leveling is some bold challenge is fallible. People are still power-leveling every hour of every day in Mission Architect. It may have slowed down after Positron dropped the proverbial hammer, but when I see broadcasts asking for "boss farms" anytime I leave a mission door, that tells me all I need to know about whether people are still doing it.

Third, the big technical debate wasn't over people leveling fast. It was over people using ABUSIVE missions, such as the crazy-XP trial comm officers, imps, and bomb-clusters in order to minimize the risk while maximizing the reward. People will always find ways to level quickly, and nothing they do is going to stop that. What the devs are trying to do is stop the exploits and minimize the "easy-route" to 50. It's a daily struggle, as people are ALWAYS looking for the easy route.

And finally, if this were a true challenge, the exact technique and mission arc numbers would be posted. I understand the problem with doing so, because it would get insta-reported by the volunteer AE-police (players), but it would offer us, the observers of this experiment, full transparency and not just status reports.

In parting, I want to say that I actually have no opinion as to whether or not this exercise is good for the people or just some elaborate troll attempt. The only reason I'm responding at all is because people on both sides of this argument are drawing the conclusion that they want to. If you want an actual conclusion to an actual experiment, the obscurity has to stop.

PS - The argument over the definition about "direct" and "directly" was a waste of everyone's time and bandwidth.

There seem to drop ...nada mean nothing... I think the patches must have mess with the drops given.. I havent gotten anything.

I just did an arena farm, got a drop. working just Fine.

Because there have been 999 threads like this already. Bad idea.

I'm just going to weigh in here on this thread in general.

The OP and The_Alt_oholic are lowlife scum. Sorry, but I've never seen anyone so worked up over someone else's enjoyment, even when that enjoyment affects them in no way, shape or form. If those people were banned for farming, they'd still not play with you. You'd still "have trouble finding teams" or whatever your excuse is for this inexcusable display of sheer intolerance. I hate people like you who feel the need to threaten a very large mass of players with loss of account--essentially the MMO version of the death penalty--simply because they play the game in the way they see fit.

Please go back to the Spanish Inquisition, you silly pair of McCarthyists. Then you can play with the big boys instead of bothering us.

PS: Man I love my PL'd Crab Spider... never would've gotten one otherwise.

Hahaha. I just thought it'd be interesting if heroes were suddenly refusing to register their powers, regardless of medi-port capabilities. It just occurred to me that States and the founding heroes never suggested this might be a BAD thing...

[/ QUOTE ]

If you don't register you can't get in on the Citizen Crime Fighting Act, which means that the cops can't accept your evidence, act on your information, or even hold anybody you bring in.

So if you're not actually interested in using your powers to uphold the law, what does that make you?

I'm already actively doing so.

I'm also taking time to report players broadcasting for :: <ul type="square">[*]more members for AE farm teams[*]players broadcasting that they are looking for AE farm teams.[/list]
I send along the time, server, and side that they sent the broadcast message along with a cut-and-paste of their message and their global handle.

Needless to say if you say anything about PL-ing you're getting reported as well.

OOH! OOH! Report me! Please?

It's the only way to get rid of them. I urge all legitmate players of the game to report AE farms when they see them. Something must be done and it's up to us as players to help the devs get rid of this blight on our game.

Tell you what. I'll be on Justice tomorrow night at 10CST, in Atlas.

I'll be PL'ing and broadcasting to that effect.

Please let me know if that time and date is no good for you and I can arrange to be on when you can petition me.

Ooh I only know PST and EST conversions but I think that's a time I'll be on., can I help you get petitioned and be petitioned too by farming with you?

I'd almost consider that abusing the GM's to a point.
Sending THAT much spam about so and so is farming is sounding more like tattling than responsible reporting.

In any case, report the zone of Cap on Infinity. You might even catch those evil marketeers in your swath of vengeance.

No. THE coolest bug was in i14 BETA when Arcanville found one that when you killed two Malta Titians in the MA you would merge into the the Zeus Titian!

Or something like that.

*summons Arcanville*

[/ QUOTE ]
That's not an animation bug

[/ QUOTE ]
YES IT IZ

[/ QUOTE ]

I think what he means is that if you had a Hercules class titan as an ally, and its health got low, it would merge with YOU and KILL YOU, forming a Zeus class titan.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yep, that was the bug. Basically, a Herc merge kills both Hercs and spawns a Zeus. In the MA there was a bug where a Herc ally would consider you an eligible merge partner, and if it got low in health it would merge with you, which would kill you and leave a Zeus standing in your place.

The best part of the bug: during the merge, the Herc would turn towards you and backflip onto you, while you turned towards the Herc and waved your hands at it.


Also, the summon works better with all three A's.

That's hilariously awesome
