I honestly dont care what they do to AE, everyone will start farming regular missions again. So all the forum cryers can go play their no XP AE & laugh & be happy! No one will vote on AE because no one will care anymore lol.

Then all the forum cryers will turn back to.. whaaa he's farming regular missions.. whaaaaa he can still go 1-50 in 1 day.. whaaaaa.

All the cryers make me laugh, it's comedy we have so so many trolls in the game from beta till now. LOL

It's a fantastic idea!

I'd like to see more AE editing options.
I'd like to put my own picture/face on my custom enemies.

If AE XP get's nerfed the only reason will be all the forum cryer's.. whaaa he levels too fast.. he farms.. whaaa!
That's what get's the game nerfed.

Just like how pvp was ruined but the ultimate nerf hammer, it's because of all the noobs whining & crying they get killed so fast in pvp.
Not because it was unbalanced but because they don't know how to build a pvp toon & prob don't but io sets to make it better.
End result....
PVP nerfed into garbage.

THANKS FORUMS CRYERS

...because the Devs intended AE to be a tool that allows a player to level up a character from Lv1 to Lv50, but not necessarily faster than all the other in-game tools combined!

I agree!
Just ignore the troll posting above you. Forum trolls have nothing better to do & just want to boost their post count. lol

Avoid the 30 lvl since it overlaps and has a LOT of chaff. 35-40 seems to be a nice sweet spot.
Don't be afraid to delete recipies that are junk
Keep rolling until your recipes are filled with GOOD items.

Try that and see what you think.

[/ QUOTE ]

I agree, I get all gold recipes 35-40 & it is a sweet spot. Yesterday I got 3 luck of the gambler + recharge & a numina's +regen/recovery, you do get some junk recipes but it's like playing slot's I like it.
It's the best level range for gold recipes for sure.

...you've ever experienced?

Running in a group of 5 this morning the level one, zero xp, on our team hit 29.6 (with juuuust under a mill in influence).

This in one mission. No exploits. No custom critters. Yes there is a story, a rather comical one if I do say so myself.

So...what's the most you've seen?

[/ QUOTE ]

Funny you posted this, with all the noobs crying farm I wanted to prove that you can level fast on their dev's choice missions on the front page. People always crying whaa he levels too fast doing farm's... well..

Johnny Santana's mission:
I tried that yesterday and had around the same result's. So now what are you going to say "FARMING WHINER'S" hmmm?
The dev's choice for sure aren't farm's but yea I leveled 1 - 27 in one arc.

THANK'S DEV'S! The dev's approved of this mission!

Anyone know what the most damaging dom set is according to numbers and recharge?

I'll guess Mind/thorn?

OMG I SEEN SOMEONE HACK!!!! I'M TELLING POSITRON!!!

OMG... someone with a fire shield made enemies with fire attacks so they don't do much damage to them! And they bring a earth controller to stop them from running away and use a BURN PATCH!!!! OMG! EXPLOITING!

PLUS!!! I also see them using purple inspirations so the enemies can't hit them! OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT EXPLOIT!

OMG.... OMG... OMG... I'm so worries about what other people do, I spend all day watching everyone! o.o

I can do 1-15 in like 10 min's

[/ QUOTE ]

I fixed your quote!

You can see what power set any enemy has on the right side of the sreen when you choose them from the enemy group.

Poor idea! The game is made for anyone to play regardless of what lvl they are. It's surely not your decision if someone should play AE or not or how fast they reach level 50! When someone subscribes to the game they have the freedom to play anything they wish & like I mentioned before it IS NOT YOUR decision what, when & where they should play & at what level.

How about worrying about what you do! instead of worrying about whatever everyone else does!

Exploit extermination is a good thing, however, there are two things that are negative effects that come of it: a) the Devs sometimes have to completely remove things that were used in story-arcs that were not farms but just happened to use a removed entity/effect; b) the recent crackdown on power-leveled characters (we're talking Lv50 in less than 24 hours) isn't a good exercise in PR.

To top everything off, if the whole AE-is-the-game point of view that n00b could be exposed to, causes people to think of the game negatively and thus advertise CoX as nothing more than "I came, I 50'ed, I quit" kind of game, there will be people out there that may believe these rumors and not even get a 14-day trial at all... and I think we'll all agree on one thing: No New People is Bad!

[/ QUOTE ]

There is nothing wrong with AE! and with x2 XP wkend coming they will get some new people & possibly a few renew's. The dev's & this game need more customer's because after they nerfed PVP into garbage a lot of people left the game.

AE is a good thing, like in life you have a freedom of CHOICE. So it might be possible you exercise your freedom of CHOICE & not farm.

AE is fun if your farming or not. When I play a dev's choice mission it's just like playing a paper mission ect.. to me, the only difference someone put some time to create it which is cool.

If the dev's made AE no xp that would be a very bad move & would leave the AE building dead. It would anger most of COX population and they would lose more customer's, just like what happened when they nerfed pvp into garbage.

COX only has 2 populated server's now Freedom being #1. Not even a year ago other server's were thriving, but not anymore. So tell me something.

Thank you

Only because it'd be pointless as they dont actually reward any xp.

People who farm things don't do it for the completion bonus.

Because people have something the good lord gave us, it's called FREE WILL! Not everyone is farming but maybe people are sick of saving joe blow, bring joe blow back to the entrance.. ect..

[/ QUOTE ]

And repeating the same easy mission created in AE to farm XP quickly is any less boring? Who'd have thunk it!

[ QUOTE ]
People like myself have played this game since beta & are here for possibly PVP or a different reason & arent here to read story's...

[/ QUOTE ]

How does "being here for PvP" preclude you from having to level your character in a non-exploit manner? My VG PvPs all the time. Should we all get free characters and IOs too?

[ QUOTE ]
I'm sorry people can't all think like positron but yanno what people think differently, maybe some people sont want to ready stories or a comic book. Maybe they want to make a pvp character & pvp.

[/ QUOTE ]

I lol'ed at this whole part.

[ QUOTE ]

My whole point is...
This game has way too many people who are too concerned about what other people do & not what they are doing! It's making me sick! Crying nerf all the time is ridiculous.

[/ QUOTE ]

People are concerned about what you are doing because your taking advantage of exploits will affect everyone. The nerf bat isn't a precision guided missile.... it's an atomic bomb.

[ QUOTE ]
IF YOU DON'T LIKE TO FARM.....
THEN UMMM.... DON'T FARM?

[/ QUOTE ]

And if you don't like to level your "PvP" toons in a non-exploit way, then don't play the game.

[/ QUOTE ]

You made me LAWL!
What a TROLL!

Having a mission full of lvl 54 Lt's and repeating it 1,000 times isnt an exploit. It's my freedom to creat my own story about a bunch of level 54 angry Lt's!

If you don't like my story arc full of lvl 54 Lt's then guess what don't call it a farm.. don't call it an exploit either!

It's my own creation, and if I choose to have my mission very difficult with all lvl 54 Lt's for a challenge then that's my idea not your's.

If my all lvl 54 Lt mission is too difficult for you I'm soooooooooo sorry, maybe make a character that can handle the damage?

Your idea of a story arc and mine are totally different, as the same as the next guy.

So have an open mind and stop calling things exploits ect... just because it isnt the way you want it. An open mind does wonder's you should try iy.

By you calling peoples created missions an exploit just because they are all one level and one type ect.. doesnt mean it's exploiting it's someone's hard work and thought behind it.

I can get a team and repeat your mission over and over... does that make it a farm??? because you can repeat any mission in this game.

Keep an open mind, the world is a wonderful place! enjoy it!

OMG!!! It's a tribute to all the cry babies who cry nerf nerf nerf.

OMG!!!

OMG A FARM! POEM! By Chickensmasher

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I made a level 1 and I can't get on any farms to level fast like all the cool kids!!! No one wants my level 12 on a team!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!
That guy who farms has more badges then me!!!!!!!

OMG!!!!!!!!
The other guy is farming and has more accolades then I do!!

OMG!!!
The guy who farms used a character planner and built a pvp character then can beat me!!!

OMG!!!!
The guy who farms can afford to buy IO purple set's and PVP RECIPES!!!


OMG.........................!
I'm going to whine..........!
I'm going to cry..................!
I'm going to look at what everyone else does!!
I'm going to cry & whine & report anything I can...!

WHY??
Because the guy who farms has more virtual things then I DO!

OMG! lol

I was talking about 1 - 28 in regular missions not AE!

I'm sorry this game isnt rocket science to me.
I'm sorry it doesnt take me 3 week's to get to level 30....

I'M SORRY.. I CAN'T LEVEL SLOW LIKE YOU WANT ME TOOOOOO
I'M SORRRRRRRRRY!!! WHAAAAAAAAAAAA CRY......!!!!!!!

The original purpose of AE was for players to test out their creative skills not for the game to be strictly dedicated to leveling. Young heroes fresh to the game are bombarded with broadcasts seeking ae pl's and lv7 warshades looking for 54 boss farms. But enough of that complaining its been said many times before.

What purpose does XP have in AE. Correct me if I'm wrong but it not this supposed to be some sort of virtual game for heroes on their downtime? Games are to there to give you rewards no progress you in level. What would be the benefits/disadvantage or removing XP fully from AE but increasing the other rewards? Leave influence where it is, remove the ticket cap, add more items to the AE "store" for lower level players, and give some variety- like costume parts (new players love wings). Tickets are a great way to buy the grossly overpriced salvage so players wont completly abandoned it. It will will just see less lowbies looking for an easy level and more players looking to gain the other benefits.

(also how about removing the ae building from Atlas and placing it in galaxy so it can return to being a social gathering place)

[/ QUOTE ]

I'll say if AE had no XP then AE would be dead. LOL
What a retarded idea!
Here's yet another person who's worried about what OTHER people do & should be more concerned about himself!

People like this attempt to ruin other people's fun & try to get thing's nerfed!

IF YOU DON'T LIKE THIS GAME THEN .. GO AWAY & PLAY SOMETHING ELSE!

BUHBYE TROLL!

P.S
If AE wasn't here to farm XP then guess what.. people will farm regular missions! Then you can whine & cry about farms in regular missions!
You'll never stop farming so stop trying... !!!!!!

Stop whining & crying nerf!

Farming has been in this game since beta & will remain forever... muwawawaaaaah!

I entered a mission the other day where all the mobs were LTs. and it was on a common farm map, Map 02. And there was no story to speak of.

So I figured it was a farm.

However, instead of all the mobs being the same kind, these were all custom ... kind of like the Justice League of America, except their names and costumes were nothing like the JLA.

But it was clear who they were supposed to be. A black clad, black caped martial artist ... a HUGE invul/ss tank all in green and yellow ... an yellow clad archer ... a very UGLY and SCARRED sonic gal in fishnets ... and so forth. All with the different power sets of the JLA.

So is this a farm? (It wasn't playing to any specific strength or weakness; wide variety of melee and ranged ATs, and fliers) There is no story. Just a Kill All mission. (though the status said Story in Progress, or some sort)

Is it a copyright infraction? The intent is clearly the JLA but there are no similar character names or costumes? Is that the difference between a copyright infraction and a homage?

I don't know what to make of this thing. I'm not looking to report it or anything ... so I won't list its name or number ... but I am curious.

You ask a question.. Is this a farm??? Then you say it was on a common farm map 02.
You already know what a farm is.. LOL

Just another person who's more concerned about what other people do....

There are other missions you can do with a huge map and go from 1-28 in 30 mins. Just play around with it.

Too much xp you say..lol

Might not want to advertise that on the forums.

I should probably take this moment to talk about what the Mission Architect is not meant for. It is not meant for "easy leveling" or "badging" or "farming". Those are things that we specifically wanted the Mission Architect NOT to do. This may be a disappointment to some, I know. The goal was to give creative minds an outlet to tell the stories they have in their heads. We didn't want the system clogged with Farm missions, so actually finding someone's story that they lovingly crafted became more a chore than it was worth.

I understand that the MA is meant for players to use this as a tool for writing thier own arcs and not as an exploit.

My idea is in two parts:

1) Only Developer's Choice and special authors' missions should offer XP (other missions could still offer badges and tickets).

2) Developers offer a more loose qualification for "Developer's Choice": Something like Dev Choice: Accepted and Dev Choice: Exceptional. There would have to be some nomination process allowing for streamlining what missions could be promoted by the Devs. Alternatively, perhaps a committee of players could be appointed to oversee this type of process - allowing for further player interaction in the game!

This way creative, non-exploitive type missions could still be given an acceptable rating (giving XP) while farming (or other exploitive) missions would simply never be qualified.

You can still powerplay through missions. But then again, you could always have done that. So players would still have the intended use of the MA, still have XP from appropriate missions while undoing a bit of the exploitive behavior.

Bonus Idea: 3) One might also look into the SK/LK system as well. This has been a heavily exploited feature in the MA. Perhaps keep this feature in un-qualified MA arcs, but have more of the standard SK/LK-ing system for Accepted and Exceptional arcs.

The xp system is not broken.

When MMOs' will reward players based on effort and playing ones' role in combat, I'm not talking about RP'ing here, then I'd say that would be not-broken. Until such time, they're all broken to varying degrees.
