How nice for you that you got 1 purple per level. I've been playing my 50's since purples were introduced and i've gotten...one.

Thank you for the response Castle

heh I too want to walk around for once lol so silly!

I agree someone outside would be good, or as others mentioned War witch in pocket D.

Giving the info to Azuria is self defeating, she'd lose it, get it stolen, or her dog would eat it

People will just farm the mobs that are easy to kill and not kill the ones that aren't easier to kill, unless they're badge hunting. All this will do is bring out the characters who are better at farming to rack up as much salvage as they can in as little time as possible for their alts, instead of rewarding the actual participation in this event by getting salvage as treats.

That's human nature and moreso in an mmorpg where you don't have to be responsible for any of your actions or give a rats *** about anyone else playing the same game as you. That is a fact, a sad fact but a fact none the less. I've seen this behavior in every single mmorpg I've played since the days of Ultima Online back in 97, over 10 years of crappy human behavior in these games and an event that gives out a time limited reward will draw out that behavior like flies to honey.


The outlooks will be like this:

"why should I spend my limited game time killing mobs on a character that has trouble with them when I can just mow down easy to kill mobs and quickly move on to the next door on my (insert farmer type character)?"

"why should i fight a boss mob or a lt mob when I can just zip away to another door and let someone else deal with the problem. I can mow down those whites real fast for the goodies?"

"great so I'm forced to log on my scrapper/tanker/farmer to get enough salvage for my squishies because I have to fight all the mobs to get salvage drops. Gee that's real fun."

"So with my limited play time I have to use a character who can kill fast to get enough salvage drops for my alts."

"Screw fighting the lts/bosses they waste too much time when I could be clicking doors for minions and cool temp costumes."

"small insp only for treats? wow that totally sucks. what a lame event. what am I paying for again?"


Ugly isn't it?

Midnighter's club, while logical leaves out anyone who is too low level to do the quest or anyone who hasn't done the quest from obtaining info about the event, assuming that an npc to explain it all is added. That leaves pocket d as the only real alternative. Gated areas are useless for things like this unless those things are also gated.

It won't. People will still leave mobs behind, especially those who find the current random spawned mob group their facing tough.

What it will do is bring out farmer toons to farm salvage. You can bet on that. That's how players in mmorpgs operate when there are rewards involved, especially limited time rewards.

I used Assemble the Team to try and unstick Zerlina. The power fired off just fine. I was standing still at the time so there was no interruption of said power. Zerlina was not teleported to my position.

I totally agree. The event should be using the invasion level code and thus would do as you said, eliminate the whole zone level tot thing, though It should also take into account your personal settings.

Trying to fight bosses and oranges on a lowbie defender was a study in frustration.

Giant Succubus!

She's GREAT!

Thank you! Thank you!Thank you!Thank you!Thank you!Thank you!

WHEEEEE!

I mean as someone you fight against, not as an ally.

Who never shows up anywhere and is hardly talked about.

This is, I feel, one of the crux problems in cox. All these interesting looking places and they are nothing more then window dressing for door missions from statically located contacts.

If there were just dynamic things that you could trigger and random missions to find in these zones they would be fabulous....and I don't mean like what seems a half-hearted attempt at this kind of thing in the pvp zones.

The zombie attacks on random zones triggered by Halloween salvage turn in's is a good start or the random rikti invasions triggered by a successful Lady Grey Task Force. I'd like to see that expanded on and zone contained.

Examples:

• Imagine you're exploring nerva and you stumble across an old crate that some Crey are digging up (there are random spawns where they are digging up boxes and stuff in nerva just fyi), so you decide to investigate because Crey is usually up to no good, or in the villain sense, something profitable. When you click on the box and open it you are then offered a mission of some sort.
• .
• While running through nerva on your way to find Technician Naylor, who is hiding inside an old Temple, you enter the wrong temple and find an old skull with some parchment sticking out of the eye socket. Upon reading the parchment you are offered a mission of some sort. The skull spawns after 15 people have zoned into nerva.
• .
• After someone has leveled up at the Arbiter an unconscious lady spawns drifting in the waters of Nerva. When she is clicked on another mission option appears for you to undertake.
• .
• While investigating the Thorn Tree island you happen upon a strange looking dagger with runes on it (clue item). As you continue to explore you find an odd shaped skeleton lying on a magical symbol with an empty dagger sheath. Clicking the skeleton without the dagger clue does nothing. Clicking the skeleton with the dagger clue causes a Thorn Tree island event, where portals open up and Redcaps pour through to avenge their fallen/sacrificed comrade.

The skull could spawn in different spots all over the map, heck multiple skulls could be all over the map or other items, same with the digging Crey/Arachnos/Whoever. There could be a variety of things that cause these random mission givers to spawn such as the 2 listed above for example.

(ignore the blank dots. The forums list feature does not put spaces between bulleted items making them harder to read.)

The ink statue should have come to life in an arc as an arch villain. That'd be something

On a side note I find it sad that these unique maps don't get used more often in other official story arcs.

Joe's Garage, The 5th warehouse, Supradine warehouse, Carnie warehouse, Paragon Dance Club warehouse, Tsoo Ink warehouse (boy they sure seem to love warehouses) Freak office, Hellion Office, Clockwork King room.

Many of those would be great to be seen in other places and not all of them are available in MA from my casual browsing, though most of them are and that's the only way you'll see them more then in one mission or two unless you enjoy running the same Oro mission over and over and over.


On EQ:

The devs from EQ came from an old D&D background and felt that "Punishing" the characters for bad things happening was a good game design philosophy. Corpse runs where you could lose all your hard work is one example and made the tediously long traveling from Feydark to Quenos a true study in frustration, along with a good solid 2 to 3 hours real time just crossing the land.

On Coh Travel:

When CoH came out I remember reading some time later that they made these Fed Ex and Missions across city zones that were far away to give people a sense that the game world was really BIG. IF you have to spend 30 min traveling across 6 zones the world must be huge!

I do wish they'd go back and tighten up the old missions/task forces by doing the following:

• Dump repetitive missions that are just filler. (extra kill alls that dont advance the story etc)
• Re set most of the mission doors to be in the same zone as your contact like in CoV or at least 1 zone away (not counting base ports which not everyone has nor does everyone have pocket d porter and only L25+ can get the Oro portal).

Those two things would make the older content much more enjoyable/bearable.

Heh casual wear that stands out is a contradiction in terms. If you stand out it's not casual , however I do understand what you mean. The only way to do that is to use the pattern and color options to try and differentiate every other pair of blue jeans from yours as an example.

I'd stick with probably subtle colors that almost blend in so that you're not running around with a glaring sign that says LOOK AT MEE!!!!

you are the foo!
foo foo kachoo you're the divider!
"foo looks like a lady...oh wait..."
