A lot of it would go if the devs would listen to us and remove the MA buildings from the starter zones. There's really no need at all to have an MA in every single zone...

Agreed

I bought this game.. I dunno 2-3 years ago but didn't really get into it (I don't think I gave it a chance tbh, every mission seemed the same, warehouse layout etc, so I got bored) But I came back last month from a couple of other MMO's. So basically I've been a noob in a fair few MMO's and know about the higher level INTERWEB WARRIORZ and how up their own [censored] they can be, but I agree, new players especially new to MMO players would likely be put off by these kind of people. Unfortunately short of them breaking any rules there's not much you can do about them other than finding the new players and helping them out and telling them to ignore the [censored] hats in the crowd.

Couldn't level up or sell in Hollows either till recently. Hollows really was a bit of a dump to be honest There was a huge sigh of relief when I finally realised I didn't actually have to accept Wincotts missions. I still rarely go there...

I took my fire/fire scrapper from lvl 10 to 12 and my ice/ice blaster from lvl 8 to 10 (hoping to get him to 12 before leaving) in the Hollows. I like it actually, knew I didn't have to go in there but decided to anyway, suited my levels pretty well I thought.

This gave me a nostalgic smile. Count yourself lucky, in my day there was no hospital area in The Hollows. You die, you run back from Atlas Park. Good times.

[/ QUOTE ]

That would have annoyed me something bad. It was bad enough that by the time I had travelled back to the mission area the bugger'd healed back up so had to try different tactics and insp's (Cold powers are bad for my fire/fire scrapper), but to have to come back all the way from Atlas park.. I'd have given up until I got my lvl 14 travel powers.. or a team.

[ QUOTE ][*] Frostfire [though i did run an 8 man team on this last night]

[/ QUOTE ]

Frostfire the NPC on the last level of Flux's mission set in the Hollows? Or is there another Frostfire thing?

I ask because I was doing that mission last night, must have died three or four times, bloody fire and ice pets! Wouldn't have been too bad if the mission area wasn't located a mile away from the hospital area and hover or sprint are so slow.

I had no problems at all last night. What FFM said is the basics of MMO connection troubleshooting.

WTB: Ability to e-mail items/inf to characters on same server

So your character is still level 1 with no enhancements to any skill? Because it's my understanding that to gain in levels and even the basic training to enhance abilities(rest, sprint etc..) is beyond that of normal people. While a normal civilian can train and hone their skills, training by heroes made possible by the Charles Atlas Superpower or Well of Furies or w/e.. far outweighs that.

The 'Natural' origin is basically normal skills enhanced by training, training which goes beyond a normal persons ability to train.

I've been having fun (admitedly very short and limited fun) using the office belt as a chest piece on female models with jackets..

Mine took a couple of hours to transfer last night, but they got there in the end.

This would have solved it..

..Just saying

Thanks all!

Good point. I realise that accessing the game is only available when it's paid for but if the pact breaks as soon as one of the accounts goes inactive then both players lose that pact for good. This is unfair if, using yesterday as an exmple, I find out that my account didn't auto renew as my debit card had literally only just been replaced with a new card and as such disabled itself immediatly. Any pacts I may have had (I didn't have any but thats not always going to be the case) would have been lost.

I'm not suggesting that people should have access to their account when unpaid for, but perhaps the pact itself should have a few days extension so an account can be reactivated in time to save it.

Oh right!, not long to go then!

Yeah, only got to lvl 21 last night (too much time creating alts and alt server mains and alts! Oh and I had about a two year break!) Yeah knew about the lvl 50 ability to change them at any time, long way off 50 yet!

Didn't know about the every 5 levels though, as far as I saw on a few reference sites it's only available a few times until lvl 50. I'll have to check it out.

Grats on the level up

Ah, cool. Not sure I'd like having the title (I made a normal title for my main 2 years ago at lvl 15 and now I can't wait to get to the next title change so I can remove it), at least not for that long, but it's always nice to know where these things come from and availability etc..

Thanks for the info!

Excuse the noob but I have a question that should be answered fairly quickly. I see several people with the gold titles above their name (and list of other titles in some cases). How are these available? Is it just a temporary selection for the duration of the anniversary made from the title change menu (which can be changed twice until lvl 50 when it can be changed at anytime) or is it something else entirely?

However, do not expect things to remain that way forever.

You know.. when I first started playing MxO I asked a question on the forums about lack of character modification after the initial creation.. and another player said something very similar to what you said.. a few months later RSI modification pills were released. Coincidence..? Wishful thinking..?

Should have been included from the initial design of the game, same time they were designing character and costume design stages, imo.

One of my favourite things in MMO's is character customisation (I can spend ages in character design) which is my main motivation to level up to begin with. I know it's the same with a lot of other people such as roleplayers, storytellers etc.. (I've not done any MA stuff yet but I don't believe you can customise an NPC after one of your own characters - that I'd love to be able to do) So really I can't understand why it wasn't implemented at the beginning tbh, designing it at the start is obviously easier than trying to integrate it later on..

Cost cutting perhaps?

Well I know that if I had started out and continued from the start, badge collecting may have been something I would have taken to, but since I didn't I've never been too bothered about badges tbh.

I like the sidekick idea. At a certain point a player can gain a sidekick NPC who is binded to that player until the NPC dies (in which case you go through a mission or something to gain another). I'd like that especially if the NPC was customisable by the player (powers, outfit, looks etc..).
The NPC wouldn't have as many powers as the player and would be weaker.. the only issue is NPC AI

Now that's an idea.. give the 1st-4th Anniversary badges to those who weren't here for the 1st-4th Anniversaries and indeed all the badges for events gone by. That won't take any meaning from those badges away at all. Hey we can all pretend to be Vets too!

Or we can pretend that those badges aren't really badges at all and still take the meaning away!

/facepalm

To me they are an indication of being there or 'done that'. If you weren't there or haven't 'done that', you shouldn't have the badge. Simple.

Is the badge count really that important?

No, rockstars/popstars etc.. already have their illusions of grandure. Allowing them to have actual powers will no doubt mean increased numbers of magazine/tv stories/interviews etc.. inflicted on the innocent public.
