Quote:Not at all. I play on the same server as you and never have a problem finding a team now. That wasn't the case when AE farms were running. At that time I couldn't ever find a team that wasn't farming.Originally Posted by Samson_Sledge
You guys mean to tell me,and this applies to those who simply love to play the game hard as well,that whenever you want to team,and people say "No" over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again..that that dosent make you mad?
I don't agree with you. It's never been easier for me to find a team. Then again, I don't farms so that could be your problem.Quote:Originally Posted by Samson_Sledge
This game's teaming rate is starting to match that of WoW.
If you were to send me a team invite with the way you are acting here, I would say no even if I was looking for a team. You just don't want the same kind of team I want.Quote:Originally Posted by Samson_Sledge
If Rewards arent the answer,what is,or could be?
I was one of the people that cheered when AE farms were killed. I hated that the largest non-AE farm team I could find was 6 people. Now it takes less than 5 minutes to build an 8 man mission team. Things haven't been this good in months.Quote:Originally Posted by Samson_Sledge
Come on players,you wrecked AE and all those teams that I just loved joining and playing,and making progress in-game on,especially on red side.You wrecked AE because we wanted to make the game harder for players to find teammates and gain levels,while you all laughed and danced in joy.You left other players no choice but to use AE when you just sat on our butts at Pocket D,and meaninglessly roleplayed.What the heck did you guys care anyway?!?!You all were too busy holding Pocket D down.
Now as for the RPers. I only have one thing to say if you don't like roleplayers standing around roleplaying. Leave Virtue! Just because you think RP is stupid doesn't mean that others can't enjoy it. If you join the Unofficial Roleplay Server, don't complain that people want to roleplay instead of teaming with you. I have 3 accounts of full of toons I run missions with and I roleplay when I'm tired of fighting. If it wasn't for the RP, I would have quit playing this game back in 2006. I had run every mission in the game, had done all there was to do and grinding to get levels just wasn't something that interested me. RP got me to stay because I never know what will happen next.
If I am required to join any team that sends an invite, I know what I will do. I will leave the game. Let's face it, there are people out there with play styles and personalities that I don't want to be around. I shouldn't be forced to put up with that when I am paying to play a game. If there is some reward I want, I'll just be sure to join people that play the way I find fun.Quote:Originally Posted by Samson_Sledge
Now,I am presenting to you all something else to destroy:The players ability(including me) to be unable to say no to teams,whether it be trying to get a coveted reward we all want,or something else entirely.
It's easy to no know what you speak of. I don't have a problem finding a team on the same server as you. If I don't have any trouble, then the problem you are having must be something else.Quote:Originally Posted by Samson_Sledge
I cannot explain it any better than this way.If you all do not know what I am talking about,dont worry..this will happen to you all in time,and then you will know what I am talking about,but how could you not know what I speak of?
Sorry, I don't see anyone here that is with you. The choice to team or to solo is the players. You have no say in how others enjoy their game.Quote:Originally Posted by Samson_Sledge
Let us destroy the need to not want to team.Let us put some meat on a stick to motivate those statues with something who just come on-line to take up space.Who's with me?! -
Seeing as they have been giving players extra stuff since the game launched (Starting with the DVD Collectors Edition) and it hasn't done any harm, I don't see what the problem is. All you get from them is QoL items that are not needed to play the game. Selling things like salvage would be a problem because it's something that players can sell ingame. That would make it "he who has the most money has the best stuff"

Quote:That's all you are going to get if you submit it as a bug report. Basically you are telling them "Hey, I found this problem. Just wanted to let you know about it." If you are stuck, you will not get any help if you use the bug report.Originally Posted by Eddy_B
I only got an email from them in regards to the bug, basically saying 'thanks for letting us know'. No email from them untill after the issue had been resolved.

The reason it's there is to keep people from TPing their friends into the Tiki Club when they don't have the pass to get in.
-
I hate to be a downer on an otherwise good idea, but I have to say no to anything that would spread out the already small PvP population even more than it is. If all the PvP zones were linked across the servers, then I could see this working.

Quote:I would like this as well, but who is going to pay that poor guy (or girl) to stand there and wait for you all day?Originally Posted by JC_THREE
1. Would it be possible to have a WW or black market access pannel in sg or vg bases. Why? Well it would cut the occasional lag at WW (I know, not very often, but still.) It would allow you to buy recipies and salvage then craft it in your base (to sell for more or slot). And it would be a handy tool.
I like being able to store salvage. I put the items I need for recipes in the vault so I don't sell them by accident. On top of that I don't want to fill up my WW/BM slots with stoarge. I need them for the stuff I'm buying and selling. You can hold 2 billion inf on a toon. How much more do you really need to be able to hold? I have yet to see anything that would require you to have more than that. As for the account wide access, I'm going to leave that dead horse alone. It's been beat enough already.Quote:Originally Posted by JC_THREE
2. Instead of a vault being a personal salvage storage, make it an inf. storage. Why? Well salvage can be stored and sold on the market. Sometimes it would be nice to store inf. and then withdraw it when needed. Also if it was account-wide you could store inf. and then get it with another toon, or with another toon on a different server.
What I would like to see added is storage for recipes. The base IO storage isn't an option to me anymore after I had an otherwise good teammate take 10 sets of Halloween salvage because they wanted the inf they would get from selling them. Never again will I put something I want to keep in open storage. -
I would stick around to see what happens. That looks like it would be fun.

Quote:After playing this game for as long as I have, none of that would get me to team when I don't want to. There are very few (if any) missions that I haven't done several times.Originally Posted by Samson_Sledge
I am simply proposing a series of very enticing and desired rewards you can acquire simply by teaming.Whether it be accolades,or badges,or something that the players have been dying to have in-game.I think this method might see people teaming more,and not doing one of the following..
Have you thought that maybe I'm there with my friends? I play for fun and to hang out with people I like. If I'm in the D with my friends, there is no way I'm going to join some PUG. I'm already doing what I want to be doing.Quote:Originally Posted by Samson_Sledge
1)Hang out at Pocket D
If you ask me to join your team and I'm in a mission, you can wait till I'm done. Get someone else if you don't like that. I really don't care. I don't owe you anything and I sure don't have to join you just because you ask.Quote:Originally Posted by Samson_Sledge
2)..or ask for more time to complete a mission before they join your team.That does suck so much,and it makes me mad.It's as though they think that you are going to wait on them,as well as the team too.
There is more to this game than just trying to get levels. It takes me months to get a toon to 50. I don't see a need to rush. I team when I want. I badge when I want. I hang out with friends when I want. It's my time and my money. Don't tell me how I should spend it. -
I wouldn't fight against it, but I wouldn't use it. I just worry that it would be abused by farmers till the Devs nerf it to the point that you get nothing being there.

Quote:Virtue had a problem with that during the AE farm days, but now that the nerf has killed the farms we don't see people acting like that much anymore. I see it much more often when I play on Freedom. The thing about new players is that they are new. It can take time to learn where everything is. If you don't like to have people ask where something is, you should stick to the lower population servers.Originally Posted by Postagulous
I find Virtue to be a hellhole of teenagers, though some may like that. Lots of people using trial version. "Is that near Atlas Park?"
-
There was a zombie attack on Virtue last night, so I'm not sure if this is happening on all servers.

If you are worried about out-leveling arcs, you can turn off XP in the options.

At least I was nice when i changed my colors. I used darker colors that didn't blind people but were still light enough for people to see that I used them (they are darker than the stock colors choice.) I had a bad experience with someone that thought all powers should be neon colors and as bright as they could be. Most of the team left after one mission.
-
This is the time of the year that things get a little quieter. People are back in school, or some are trying to get that last vacation in before it gets too cold. With that said, I have had more team invites since i16 came out that I haven't noticed. SSK has made it much easier for me to join teams. Gone are the days when I had to switch from a toon I wanted to play just because we didn't have a mentor/exemplar.

Quote:I have watched how the non-PvPers have acted in the past. They expect to be able to do as well in PvP as they do in PvE. When they lose, they complain that the system is broken and demand the Devs fix it. This is how we got PvP2.0. When I first trying to PvP, I got no help from the PvP community. For six months all I got from anyone was "lol" when I would ask for help. It took help from an SG friend before I learned the basics. Even now I wont go near a PvP zone unless I know someone there. It's just not that fun to be mocked when I lose (I know I will lose but I don't care as long as it was a good fight.) I would love to see PvP more popular, but I don't see that happening. Someone needs to want to PvP or they will leave with such a bad experience that they will never go back.Originally Posted by Basilisk
... I'm sorry, but how do you propose they learn if they're not supposed to come in the zone because they don't know how to play under the system?
That said, I could see a PVP reward weekend or something going in, but I don't really think there's much likelihood that it would change the amount of people in the zones. And those that do come in will probably be farming for the recipes. I think you'd need a much bigger carrot to entice to population in- so big that it would probably be unfeasable. -
Please no. The last thing it need are more non-PvPers going in and complaining that they don't have a chance to win in a fight against people that know how to PvP in this game.

Quote:I love the idea for #2. I always enjoyed ToTing, but hated that my costumes would start timing out before I could get them allOriginally Posted by Dr_Mechano
Thought I'd refresh my suggestion now that the time is close at hand for the Halloween event to be upon us.
Well several suggestions actually.
1)
Couple of new costumes, namely the Rularuu Overseer, Rularuu Brute and Rularuu Whisp as costumes.
2)
Now the Halloween salvage has one function, to gain an extra costume slot, I propose an additional function, after you've traded in for the extra costume slot.
Once you've traded in your second set of salvage a reward screen pops up, similar to those with the Vet reward sands of mu or Ghostslaying axe perma-temp choices.
On that reward screen is a list of all the temp costume powers you've had through trick or treating, you get to select one of those costumes as a perma-temp costume for that character.
This is balanced between the Con temps because while the con temps are awarded on a per account basis, meaning all characters will have access to that one costume, the halloween trade-in perma-temps will only be for that character and that character alone, if you wanted the same costume on a different character, you'd have to trade in two sets of halloween salvage again.
I would kill for a perma-temp Rularuu Overseer costume for one of my characters.
So devs, any idea if this can be possibly be made to work, come on, it would be awesome... -
I'm afraid I'm one of the people that left Guardian... Granted I did it years ago when all of my SG there left to play CoV when it launched and they never came back. Last time I checked, I am one of three people still playing from that SG out of the 25 or so players.

Quote:I don't know... The bird didn't work for HomerOriginally Posted by Mr_Body
While Lemur and Aett have answered fully already, I propose for sheer silliness:
Set faster power on auto. Bind slower recharge power to an out-of-the-way key and use a Drinking Bird (see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drinking_bird) to constantly push said key. Could get annoying as keyboard must not move ever, but would it work? Hmmm, I must ponder.
Btw, I believe the use of this will not keep you for auto-logging.
Cheers! -
They don't happen very often so I'm not worried about them.
-
You can blame that on people turning in Halloween salvage for a costume slot. The Devs just didn't turn off the chance of zombies after Halloween.
-
It looks to me that they finally updated the packaging. The red one still shows Tabula Rasa and Dungeon Runners (Now free to play till they shut the servers down.)

I have always tried to do everything with all my contacts and hate it when I out level one without being able to finish it.

Quote:There is always room for improvement. People are always sharing their ideas for the PvE game, why shouldn't we do the same for PvP?Originally Posted by GarfieldZ
can everyone shutup and stop suggesting pvp revamps or always complaining about pvp being crap since i13? this might seem a little biased as i actually like the changes, but its been 3 issues now! just get over it and shutup! the devs aren't gonna give in...

I wish the lvl50 IOs would just scale down to the level you are exemplared to. That way you don't get the higher bonus, but you also don't lose all the bonus.
