yes you are right but the original idea was based on taking what we have alrdy and using it but Mr Mech pointed out some facts that made that idea null.

when u have a group of players that run 2-3 TFs on any given night the list is mighty short. a post like this is for more this just the topic at hand, i am also hoping it brings up so key factors that will also help the devs decided the lvl GR with be and how it with affect the flow of the game.

Thx Dr Mech, that’s a good point. even though I have been think about this for a while (broph..blah what ever) I did miss that fact about the game structure.

thx again. Dr Mechano

The thing is I have been playing this game since beta and have had up to 5 accounts at one point (only 3 right now). the potential is there but no matter how many I bring to the game or how big my SGs get we loose people like crazy to other MMOs (like WoW). I have even brought people from WoW to this game just to have them go back.

My core group of SG members get on around the same time and we run TFs and missions to level. Now the problem is that we all have at least hand full of 50s sets and all. I myself have over 20+ 50s and god knows how many characters over 40+ across my accounts and various servers. i want to play at least my favorite characters @ 50 and not EX. down just to play the majority of the content. I know what’s out there for 50s but we need more. I know what my group complain about when they leave and its mostly content at level 50 and i have to agree with them. if being able to play the current content @ level 50 isn’t a good solution to the lvl50 content issue we are having what would be. is the only solution to wait and hope for more issues that may add more level 50 stuff to do because where I’m standing i don’t see that much time left. i only know a hand full of people whiling to pay for the next issue if its not level 50 content.

Just understand I comment as a fan not a fanatic. I’m pretty busy in RL so when I play I play to enjoy the game to the fullest for what it is. I’m pretty hard on Cox because I really love this game (even after play more then half the other MMOs out there WoW and Champions included) . CoX is awesome when it come to teaming and having fun from level 1-50 but after level 50 the content drop is steep. Now from the points that Dr Mech has made I can see now that there may not be a quick solution to the issues that I have with the game in general but I strongly believe this is the core to CoX’s success and future. Give me more to do @ level 50 and I know I can keep the 30+ people I play with happy.

I Don’t know if any of you know this but you do know WoW has made their teaming and leveling more like CoX right. Think About That. And I don’t say that to say we should be more like WoW cause CoX is a deferent beast. But if they start to play like CoX with all that content they have we cant be messing around. The main reason I even came back after AE killed teaming is because a few of my friends begged me to come back, and the only reason they are playing now besides a few new builds they want to make I because they are waiting for the new expansion to WoW to drop, WTF!!!

ok, Farming is old so you can save those comments, I want more to do @ level 50 but when I suggest that all current TFs can be played @ level 50 its to make a suggestion for something that can be added right away. to add new features to current content is much easier then adding all new content. your are right though, to change all TFs to level 50 is to drastic but to have a setting where I can play @ level 50 isn’t a drastic change at all.

I really like playing my 50 @ level 50 after all the work I put in to level then and get their sets. don’t get me wrong though I do like the effort they are putting for more content but with all the dead content and zones (hero side), it would not take much to make most of it level 50 so we can have more to do when we hit level 50.

plz post constructive feedback, thank you..

I’m keeping my post simple so other players can build on the general idea.

I think all TFs should be level 50 content but I would settle with all TFs staying as is with the ability to play as a an all 50 team. I know some of the mobs in the lower level TFs are not fit for level 50 WARFARE so I would even accept the lower level TFs that are played by an all 50 team to be +4/ 8 only with a heavy dose of bosses. I am sick of building my characters just to EX. down and so are many of my SG mates and people I play with.

Note:

One think I liked about the AE Boss farms is that it was played mostly by 8 man teams and for the most part forced you to play smart and have a good team structure. I really wouldn’t mind TFs and Story Arcs being like that. I’d love the challenge to be able to stay at lvl 50 and get my merits or purples.

I like this idea also but from where I stand I think CoX is far from making this a reality. I even think the GR expansion might also be coming to soon for there are other issues that need to be addressed. I’ve recently come back to the game (again) and I decided not to go back into my old routine but to really look at CoX for what it is and as much as I would like to get super technical with a discussion some basic gaming needs still haven’t been met to make cox a successful game.

ZONES!! …. right

Lest just stay on topic for the most part. What’s going on with all the dead zones (mostly on the hero side) I mostly play hero side and boy there are a lot of dead spots. I do like what the devs are trying to doing so I wont ponder on the negatives but ill focus on positive points and suggestions instead.

Problem

We need more 50 content. My “SG Mates” put a hardcore effort to max their characters but every time we do so we sit our 50s to the side, purpled out and all, and start over. When we play these characters its mostly exempted down to do some low level task forces or to play with other SG mates helping them in thought low level missions. Even when doing that we are not much help with the current slot percentage reduction. 90% of the game is low level gaming and we have lost many a SG mates because of this and more of our hardcore gamers are getting bored.

Solution

Take all the dead zones and make them level 50 content, not I’m not saying make the hole zones level 50 because 50s don’t really care about street mobs but put some 50 story arcs and 50 TFs with rewarding benifites like merits would be awsome, I really think all TFs should be level 50 but I wont take it there on this post. If we do this it will at least hold your current fan base and probably bring back some old members. I know I would be able to convince a few dozen members that went to wow to come back before the wow lore really pulls them in.

Cox has always had what its needed to be a top MMO, its just been used in the wrong way.

ty i ran some test last night and noticed exactly what you described. ty for the link.

Hello all, its been a while but its good to see a new cleaner forum. Looking forward to contributing to help make CoX better. As I get back up to speed ill be looking forward to addressing a lot of issues that I believe have kept CoX from hitting the 2.5 million mark I thought they would hit when I first started playing the game.

Ok now to the problem at hand.

I was told that slots are affected by your level when your exempted down. I don’t remember that being the case before, I thought that if the power was active all slots where active that where available for that power.

so is that true that slot levels are affected when exempted.?

If so, I noticed when I respec-ed that when you slot your powers the new slots take the first spots so if I 6 slot a power is the lower level slot really the 6th slot not the first?

To make this easier for people that like to have certain sets at certain levels for TFs ect. There should be an option to see the slot levels so I know what I’m slotting at what level. The ideal situation would be if I have a 50 and ex down if the power is avail I should have all my slots cause I worked to get to 50 and I deserver to be a little stronger. It also encourages players to get to 50 even if its just a pvp Character. Case being the deference between a 35 pvp-ing a 50 ex. To 35 is the ex character is a little stronger cause he has more slots avail. Obviously this is all based on the answer to the two questions.

Thx for reading and posting
