Disappointing.. Another step towards CoX developing a "Cash Shop" that developes more have and have nots.

Very disappointing to say the least.

?!?!?!?

Yeah, because being able to respec makes you uber... Lame

I agree with the "doubt I'll ever exercise the option," but nice for people who screw up their builds so badly that 3 earned respecs can't cover them until they get a vet respec.....

Edit: whoah, first post after a redname!

Just a quick follow up:

We have no plans of getting rid of freespecs. Each Issue that brings with it major power changes (which is pretty much every single one, eh?) will bring a freespec with it.

We have no plans of getting rid of the respec trials.

We have no plans of getting rid of the dropped Respec Recipes.

We have no plans of getting rid of the Veteran Respecs that your account earns.

This is simply another way to get a Respec onto your character.

By doing just a /signed, you are saying "hey, great idea i like it" which is great to show positive sentiment towards the idea, but it's not constructive to the discussion of WHY it should be implemented.


[/ QUOTE ]

Sometimes a pencil is just a pencil and sometimes /signed is just, "hey, great idea i like it." and I have nothing more of value to add other than to show that the OP is not alne in their opinion/idea.

Well, I repsect your need to maintain order in the whirling chaos that might engulf us otherwise, I respectfully (and vehemently) disagree with the following:

[ QUOTE ]

..."/signed" posts are a version of bumping and likewise are not permitted.

[/ QUOTE ]


When the OP has made a clear, logical coherent statement of "whatever" /signed is not a bump, it is a means of demonstrating community support without wasting everyone's time by restating.

These forums *are* supposed to be a place to express our agreement/disagreement/wishes to the rest of the community and the development team. Brevity isn't bad.

Or said another way,

Where would we be if Marvel suppressed Stan Lee?

Whee! More tailor tokens.

I've not changed my primary costumes since I started.

[/ QUOTE ]

Be that as it may, considering tailor shop prices at times I'll take the tokens

[/ QUOTE ]


I just checked and I will have 40 tokens after tomorrow. I'm just curious, does anyone have more than that?

[/ QUOTE ]

44 on one of my fifties (I know he used at least 1 or 2) and 45 on another 50. Neither of these includes my vet costume tokens (9).

Hehe we did fail to get the badge. But it was fun though. I also got to experience something new that I haven't personally experienced before, until last night's run: Fighting all four inner circle villains at the same time! And win with little trouble! I thought that was kinda great.

Me E is a Stoner in disguise!

I'm willing to try again on a weekend run, midweek isn't so hot for me. Next week being Memorial Day weeekend means I'll be away, so good luck in your upcoming runs!

I also agree, best tactic with Dr Aeon is no one makes a move on Aeon until tank calls for the attack.

This is incredible news. Thank you soooooooooo much!

Who the heck is this nub, what server did he crawl here from and can we deport him?

Oh you kids and your MySpace!

While I know this makeover will ease a lot of frustration, especially amongst newbs, it also makes me a little sad. My first character or 2 "grew up" in the hollows on PuGs. The Hollows was where I learned (sometimes the hard way) about aggro range, breaking aggro, etc.

It made recall Friend and Group invis great early team powers. It was the basis for the need for "Taxi-bots" and in the days before Bases, Vet TPs, O-Zone tps and WW tps, it made you appreciate the highbies who would broadcast offers of TPs to the AP gate...

I can't help but laugh at those playing on 2 or 3 different servers regularly. It means you don't have real in game friends and that it is more important to you to level up characters than play with friends.

Did the Devs not say something about increasing the load capacity of the servers to compensate for this?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes. We upgraded our server hardware as part of our re-investment plan for City of Heroes/Villains, but the fact of the matter is that we've actually hit a new capacity threshhold.

To be clear....There are more players on Freedom now than have ever played on that server. Ever.

[/ QUOTE ]

Because data mining didn't show that people were transferring characters to Freedom and creating new ones and no one could guess that DXP would encourage more people on other servers to create alt characters on Freedom.....

While the practice base raids I've participated in have been fun, I don't at all like the idea of permanently losing expensive equipment.

The OP's scenario seems completely possible and likely, and that's disturbing.

[/ QUOTE ]

ANd this is what keeps casual or non-pvp groups from considering participation in base raiding. "Yeah, I guess it could be fun, but not willing to risk the base stuff to find out."

Wow, this would completely suck.

One solution (not a great one) you'd need to get on the super-hero channel (all globals, broadcast, etc.) and put out a request for someone who has the Fusion Generator plans open to allow you to join their SG, go to their base and craft one with your own salvage.

[/ QUOTE ] Yep that would be the workaround for those with a coalition. Those groups in the hinterland..........no good.



Hey.........can I borrow your worktable???.........they broke my toilet!

[/ QUOTE ]

doesn't work. if you leave the other SG with the plans your inventory disappears. this is why you can't just get an auto-doc on a whim.

[/ QUOTE ]

MadScientist FTW


Here's a thought. The devs in the past have felt the need to balance risk with reward. Not sure if this is still a mantra but perhaps a different way to look at it is:

if the IoP trial is suitably difficult, the risk is losing the IoP after you've invested the effort of getting enough SG mates together at once and running the trial. I think losing 2 or 3 hours (not to mention organization time) of 8 or 10 or 20 people's time is plenty of risk if someone can waltz in and steal it easily.

Wow, this would completely suck.

Certain self heal powers are tagged to not allow outside healing buffs. Reconstruction is such a power

[/ QUOTE ]

The user documentation for this I imagine is on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard'?

Seriously, I don't mind arbitrary and obnoxious rule sets, I don't. But it would be handy to know what they are.

Now that you've broken away from Cryptic, have you considered hiring someone to write user documentation?




[/ QUOTE ]

I would think that after 8 months with near continuous forum posting on this topic by users thinking its a bug while devs think it is working as intended speaks to the need for in game documentation on this "feature."

[ QUOTE ]
Actually I heard they might have this fixed on test. I need to go TEST it myself :P

[/ QUOTE ]

As of last night on live, seemed to be working!

Has any tried to create a new robo-surgeon? I just may have to faint if that's working!

I PvP very casually. Unfortunately, only one other person in my sg does, which makes it less fun (prefer to play with my friends).

That said, I think it could/should be much better. I left off anything I deemed to be a bug fixes, since bugs should be fixed, period. We shouldn't need a wishlist for those. I left off balance related, since balance is in the eye of the beholder.

A comment on the notion that Test server is such a "hotbed of pvp activity." Sure, this is partially a result of the best/most interested from each server concentrating play, but I also believe that it is significantly related to the PvE vs PvP builds. People can dupe a character and tweak for PvP without impacting their PvE play. They can also uber loot them by dupin rares, which makes them more optimal builds. Fun for the serious players, less fun for someone who doesn't have help or access to HOs and IOs or a friend/second account to help with duping.

Here's mine in general preference order.

Item Number of Requests
No Meaningful Reward (yet must not be exploitable or gamebreaking)
Bounty System in All Zones (bounty can be saved up, not gone as soon as you leave zone...like vanguard credits)
CoP and IoPs
Better Base Raids Incentives, lower disincentives
Selectable maps
Cross-server PvP
Instanced PvP Missions
PvP and PvE Builds
Flight Not Viable (tp is only meh without a second travel power)
PvP Tutorial/Training Wheels - Not sure a tutorial can do this

[ QUOTE ]
Not to mention you can just right click on them and view "Info".


[/ QUOTE ]

Nope, you can't. In any pvp or co-op zone a hero cannot get info on a villain and vice versa. I am only a casual PvP'er and even I know this. Can't recall if they disabled same faction in the arena or not (i.e. hero v hero or villain v villain).

Do not tell PvP'ers what they should "feel" when you apprently aren't one. I say apparently because if you consider yourself a pvp'er and don't know this, well, you're not...

Regarding the other stuff. I would hope there might be some granularity to the "controls." e.g. cityinfoterminal.com tracks your characters and allows you to make things like "inf" not visible.

Last thing you need is beggers having another way to try to beg.

4. Teammate base kick bug: With latest patches, Teammates zone in for about half a second, then zone out again. Coalition members were able to load into the base properly. This seems to be the same issue of "players needlessly kicked from bases" or however it got phrased when it was patched long ago. The first base kick bug that was fixed. This is not the kick bug that randomly tossed you out of a base while you were standing around, that seems to still be OK.


[/ QUOTE ]

Not sure if this is helpful to devs, but last night I was in RWZ. On a whim I clicked on my friend's base (he was team lead) when I clicked on the base portal at the HQ. It took a *Really* long time, but I loaded into his base despite being in a non-coalitioned SG already.

As soon as I loaded, a popup menue asking me RWZ or RWZ2 appeared as if I had clicked on the exit. everytime I clicked cancel it would pop back up. I ignored it and was able to wander around his base. Eventually, while chatting with him, I just got kicked.

I assume that the bug wanted to kick me, but because my zone of origin had two instances, it cycled into the "ask which instance" logic and couldn't kick me until RWZ2 despawned.

Well, there you have it. Now you can fix this problem, right?!?

Why do you need an attacking team?

In my experience if you put the healing team in stay/defend the LBW2 start heal spamming like a noob empath. Only with the glads (and contrary to player character logic) the healing counts toward the badge even if no damage has been taken.

All you need is at least one person/account to man the second team to keep the arena contest open. Both teams can sit in their own corners and healspam for the badge overnight if necessary.

Edit: Actually not having set up myself, I'm trying to remember if the leader from each team sent one pet to the other side to trigger the heal spamming or not. I do not recall it being that way, but been about 6 months since I participated in one.
