City_Life

If you want to kill farmers, KILL THE MAPS. or maybe you dont want to.

Dinged last week, lvl 50 fire/mm blaster, name is 'La Cite des laches' translate it on goog, might be fun..
actually on a lvl 43 .

imma reach 40 50 on the same server , im so happy

the mood on MA is simple: texas is into communism, they give the game back to the people, man, that movie "W. "by Oliver Stone was a joke, a pretty bad movie...But when i play this game.... i mean, the movie was bad, but the mood on MA is even worse.

im persecuted by mod 08 , but i barely think anyone will see that, since he deletes me as i speak...
besides, the mood on MA is all fine with me, since i dont play with anyone, i closed all my global chats, and my one and only attenpt to team with any, turned into a void, aka nothing.

someone"anyone wanna do something?"
me "yes, im game"
someone "..............................

I really don't care if someone PLs. I just want people I team with to be able to effectively play.

Sometimes all it takes is one clueless player to ruin the experience for everyone.

You dont need a farmed toon to ruin the "experience for everyone", rp 'ers vets are pretty good at it too, sometimes.

Quit smokin' the product.

i just saved my last post. Its not for the players anyways.

Fyi, i think 'damage' is unapropriate to you.

though digital warz is appropriate to me.

That some journalists wanna do a enquiry about this game.

the more it goes the less imma say 'no,leave them be , its just kids'.

there are things here, that bothers me, and my friends.

Wait, are you saying we could get an expose into the deep dark underbelly of CoX? That would be awesome. Have them do it in a "Behind the Music" type theme. Would this hard hitting piece of journalism be available online? And not through some blog, but an actual AP or Reuters type news service?

Bonus points if they can work in the following phrases:

But not all was well in Paragon City.

And then the exploits died.

Is this the end for our intrepid heroes? Stay tuned to find out!

"neo commie patriot act"

[/ QUOTE ]

And for some reason this line just cracks me up. It's such a mashup of political references that are all used incorrectly that I feel I should love it. The idea that Neoconservatives are forcing their Communist beliefs through secret monitoring of publicly posted comments on the internet is something I had never considered before.

[/ QUOTE ]
You seems informed and smart enough to get what is the deep dark underbelly of a super hero/superior man is about.

about the link between the '----' on earth that was the previous guys you voted for, and Commies, and or Arabs ,well, im not into pre irak history or Russian maffia in the US, so i dont care basically,
these were my 'pie' jokes.

about the show, maybe they wont be any.

unless a Jew or a Catholic, or watava, creates an account, make an AE/MA SA with Nazis allies and kids in the same room, and there, ppl with no education rate it 5 stars.

Just because its less important than the comm officers.

then, you will make the music.

i ll leave it to you.

yeah, i bet my ideas dont please much, especially when i dont pledge to the "be nice, add 1% plus or minus to the previous posters".
i happen to have ideas of my own, and they happen to be far more radical than the average. So what?

This might explain that.

I m reinforced in pride.

i never make pie jokes, or even jokes at all, i stick to the core.
besides, as you prolly know, english requires even more efforts to me.

I sugested tons of ideas.

they where obviously not in the "Party" line.

pretty fun how City of is closer to Moscow or Beijing,finally.

There goes all the flamming ,in the darkwaters.

Most of ur "neo commie patriot act" is makin my non playing friends so amased TV ppl, journalists, musicians, etc...,

That some journalists wanna do a enquiry about this game.

the more it goes the less imma say 'no,leave them be , its just kids'.

there are things here, that bothers me, and my friends.

Just so you know. If you wanna know what, ask the devs to un delete the deleted...
If they can retro punish, they prolly can do that too.

good night.

Strangely enough, only my post about Mod 08 in the PWZN forum got undeleted/uncovered /unmoved for the past 3 hours or so...

still goin on, i post here and there, trying to stick to the Eula, i keep being deleted/

I will be straight forward, even if this remains for in your skull for about 2 mns: If you want to straigthen up the whole thing, its oviously simple:
remove the outdoor maps. no outdoor, no farm, no ranting.
over and done.
ho fyi; i am a farmer, i will have to play ....(ho nooooooo)

i bet you my 2 cents that rp e'ers will find something against my idea, witch is the far more practical AND FAST aplliable. Ok, u may have to use an indoor map for ur beloved overnite superarc.

well, this is the obvious.

But, in fact, what do YOU really want?

We will have to agree to disagree here. I think the comm officers were a massive exploit in that they were not being used as intended and gave at specific levels extreme amounts of xp far and above anything else possible in the game. People knew this and exploited the heck out of it, I can't personally see how it isn't an exploit despite how long it took the devs to deal with it and despite how public it was.
To keep with the analogy its kind of like the last forest ranger that used it forgot to put the gate back the last time they used it and they didn't get around to either fixing the gate or closing it for a few weeks.

[/ QUOTE ]

The devs knew when they put them in MA that Comm officers gave more XP than normal, and still they moved foward. They knew it when they did their own internal testing, and still they moved foward. They were told in closed and in open beta that it would be exploited, and still they moved foward. As far as I'm concerned, and I guarantee I'm not alone in this, if it can go through such extensive testing with full knowledge of the potential exploit and still go live, then it must be working as intended.

To use your analogy, the forest ranger forgot to close the gate despite the fact that he was told repeatedly over several weeks that the gate was open and that he needed to get his [censored] over there and close it. He's got nobdy to blame but himself if the bears got out and raided everybodies picknick baskets.

[/ QUOTE ]

You are not alone on this. If someone used a third party program to change the actual code in the game- THAT would be an exploit. To use things that naturally occur in the game with no manipulation required: WAI.

The heavy handed changes that were made , removal of the comm officers, ticket reward limits and the threats made make me ask... why did they do nothing when they already knew about it? why did everyone let posi make that post without at least attempting to do some sort of damage prevention/control?

this whole thing is a public relations disaster.

[/ QUOTE ]they actually dunno what they are doin(aka devs)
'Goin rogue' while MA is under suspiction,
naming mods from the populace to rule it while eating cheese in a fruitcase and sending the pic to the customers.... if this was GM, or Boing, well, actually, it is...
there goes the golden parachutes.
(gratz to my hommies from UBI, Airbus owns Boing, Renault owns nissan an kik butt into US car industry... and the cheese in the basket case prolly was french)
Too bad, i still pay for this game, im not playing far cry 2 atm, so behave.

its pretty fun to see ppl arguin this over and over... the funniest is me receiving a warn because i dared speak about other MA abuses....
Whatava, they upped the risk/reward ratio, and i dont feel any change... why? because i never did bosses farms spamming the whole contry with 'need dps' or 'need healers'

I farm. my risk is high... all i did while other where exploiting, was to be better towards my created npcs.
FYI, all blasters, fire/ice, includind bosses, and i cant take one on follow/sk, cause he would die in a 50 yard range.
Now, i ear here and there ppl talkin about 'peculiar farms'.
adress this before it turns into another nerf.

[ QUOTE ]
I play on Freedom Server and unless this is just an illusion...it seems like this game is scrambled all over the place. Everyone level is in every zone, teams are scarce, AE farms are terrible at best, PvP is a dead zone EVEN on freedom. I play siren's call and it used to be booming all day every day. RV is okay. But still, is it just me or has the population deteriorated in a big way?

[/ QUOTE ]
ask the devs.

Its been about a week since the "nerf" and since that time, once again servers are back to normal population. Before...I had fun and it was fun to see all the players jumping online.

What kind of vibe is the community getting since the nerf ingame?

[/ QUOTE ]
its worse and worse, just type a map to search dudes on your search engine ingame, and if you 're more that a 12 months vet, you will get me straight.

this one got through.

test.

Everytime I've tried using the MA, I've found myself in farm missions.

Even when I go for missions that advertise a goal, and I zone in and there is a goal (click X # of Ys) - its still just arranged as one massive farm with the Ys out of the way so you can just get them once you get bored.

PUGs I join that claim to be trying to avoid farms end up the same way - we zone in and once again, its a farm.


So...

Any tips for what to look for in the selection screens to find actual arcs? I'd like to be able to run things that aren't just Dev choices - those may be great, but I'd also like to have a hand in finding the next up and coming great picks - which means I need to know how to delve into the unknown masses, and yet still come up with gems, or at least missions with actual stories.

For those of you who have figured out how to find actual stories in between the farms and farms disguised as stories, any tips?

[/ QUOTE ]
for mine, its pretty simple: there is a warning sigh, aka: WARNING, this is a 4 man farm, avoid it if u dont like farming". i plan for ages on a serious arc, i mean, serious. the tools are not provided.
Bk to the previous: i call on self responsability, there cannot be a cop behind every citizen, so farmers behave, and RP ers behave.

FYI, even with the warning, 2 dudes O stared me, and on top, commented my stuff as crap.

1/my farm idea was fun: 2 bunches of surfers, waikiki ones and malibu ones gather to make magic suntan oil, they are blond, look dumb, and the bosses are red bikinis baywatchers by the name of "silicon teens" ans silicone baywatchers"...
i ve seen soooo many serious stuff just not fun, and not playable, that i laugh at the yellows.'french for brown noses, i think)
what would happen id i triple zeroed an arc, cause i got 3 acounts, and i really think its bad? 3 times 0 in a matter of 3 seconds.

And i would give the note on behalf of that, previous to be a farmer, im a player. and quiet a good one, if i listen to ppl.
So, just behave.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, Baywatch was a good show I thought too .... Isn't that what your talking about?

[/ QUOTE ]
i relay on facts, the show may relay on the same facts, not my problem^^ red bikinis galore

'AE', unfortunately, has come to mean 'farm mission', stemming from a brief period after the latest major update where there was an exploit in the Architect allowing for utterly broken farming and powerlevelling. It's since been fixed, but a lot of players haven't quite got their heads around it.

[/ QUOTE ]
Or maybe you didnt realise that for some reason, ppl got bored, and want farm?

maybe this game is subject to early death, maybe its subject to lack of content, forumites supremacy, economical concurrence...
This game is not subject to farm overwelm.
Our new player here will soon see that DEMMAND in farming is bigger than offer.
You should leave him experience the game.
If an advice would worth anything, i would not use a ranting one.

besides, just to answer you on the subject matter:
I hardly understand why nice people , such as 'some' forumites, are blind to facts, and hide behind the last 1% of explanation that would prove them right.

I like this game a lot, i dedicated maybe too much of my time to it, though, im not hiding behind my shadow.

can the player base speak, or its just a forumite forum?
Release Notes for 18.20090422.5T didnt change anything for me. do you guys do all the fuss because you where previously abusing? just asking.

Ty, i ll check it out.
