    PS: I've only done two or three AE arcs, it doesn't need nerfing in any sense of the word. You can rapid-fire paper missions and come out just as unaware.
    Who is your statement aimed at?

    Because frankly the lowest form of person is the one who slams someone for having it and I want to find them all so I can 1-star them.
    Save your self some money and one star me now just for what I think of you.
  4. I still think that all IO's should have a set price they sell and buy for... if I get a Red Fortune drop... I know thats 5mil in the bag and not 3 Mil if i need it now or 6 Mil if I wait a week.

    All IO's should be vendorable at realistic prices and as such they should also be able to buy them for the same price... and have limitless stock!! how many bids of 2billion are there on the Glad (def) proc?! hundreds!(for eg)

    oh and my msg to the OP stays the same...

    "It is possible to PL in normal content... take the xp outta that too... good idea, genuis "
  6. I am simply pointing out that there should be a difference between farmers, and mindless sheep...

    The OP doesn't even know why they want to farm... the have no knowledge of IO's and it's very obvious that this desire to farm comes from seeing others wanting to get in on farming teams.

    They are following the croud, like... well, sheep.

    I19 Wish List??

    Oh Soooo much on my wish list, ok ok i'll section them and add a reason for each.

    PvP

    Remove Diminishing Returns - We work for hours to squeeze best out of our toons, why was DR considered to be a good idea! Ever!!!
    Remove Heal Decay - My emp in zone is public enemy No.1, relying on heals to survive. As there isn't damage decay so this is very unfair on us buffers!!!
    Remove Travel Suppression - Activating shiver, slows me more than the target!!! Enough said, FIX IT!
    Activate Base Raids again - Miss this, it's been so long i've almost forgotton how much fun it was.
    A LvL 50 Free for all Zone like Warburg would be amazing! - pipe dream I know but it is a wish list.

    Powers

    Customization for Pools and Ancil/Patron powers - To be able to keep colour theme's throughout all powers would be wonderful
    More power animation choices - very nice work so far, please keep it going.
    Powerset proliferation - easy way to make lots of people happy
    Make Patron powers availble to hero's without having to take 4 days to GR and do patron mission - seems only fair as vills get APP straight away

    Stamina

    Not really a wish anymore, I just wanted to say WOW ! good call, welldone and that's amazing that you took the steps to make it inherent, there are alot of classes that still suffer even with fitness pool, will it be possible to have it inherent and selectable too? So we can have double stamina on such end heavy characters such as Fire/Storm controllers and BroadSword/Dark Armour scrappers for example.

    QoL

    Ourorobororobororurous - When Rogue or Vigilante allow your Ouroborus portal to take you either side. I have opened mine in Cap Au Diable to get to Grandville to find I was thrown back to Atlas, Founders, etc etc options, i keep forgetting. xD

    Email attachments - Can we please be able to send more than one item at a time every 15 seconds, this takes ages to transfer 10 or more IO, Salvage, Recipes etc.

    Universal Server Channel - One channel within the chat tab that every character on the server is automatically a member of, new players don't have to search and join player made ones, so that teams searching for "x" can broadcast it and players can broadcast when looking for a team. I know this maybe do able at the moment but this suggestion is a definitive channel that everyone is aware of and a member no matter where they are in game.

    -PLz stop calling me hallstorm-
    Hailstorm, member of GGRRR, defiant. We blame MC!
    I have to disagree with hallstorm i'm afraid...

    It is true in game as it is with most things in life, things are fun when you are good at them.
    Personally I find farming lots of fun...
    This silly business of buy a lvl 50 for £12 or w/e $20 is, well it's just stupid.
    Hallstorm, if you happen to think that all this farming business is nonsense, then why post in a thread about it? Your post was neither constructive, informative or useful to anyone.

    Now..........

    Having said that, I also feel very strongly that farmers should be at a point in their CoX career that they would not have to ask for help on what to make or how to build it...

    If you are worthy of farming, these are questions you should not have to ask, if you do have to ask remind yourself of this little analogy.


    You are learning to swim, and at the same time
    wondering if shaving your head will make you faster.

    Think about it...

    Oh... that's depressing

    Fly speed then?? i'm aware it was set at a reduced speed as it's a safer way to travel and shouldnt have the same benefits as SuperSpeed but if the cap was 92.5mph as well at least it could require aliot to get there maybe? Like Swift, Fly and sets needed to reach it.

    or change Group flight to Quantum flight, same as peacebringers get.

    What you think about the TP change?

    yeah or do it per bars to next lvl... there are 10 so use decimal system..

    e.g My Domi is lvl 42.9

    as she is 1 bar tnl

    Sell all button

    Vendor's def need a sell all button instead of clicking each item... and a "post all in WW as last sold price" would also be great.
  14. I would like to be able to look at my toons at the log in screen and see how much influence each of them have... been a few times that I've logged into a toon and noticed there was 5 - 6 hundred mil that I had forgotton about and even deleted a toon that I hadn't realised was holding some as a stash.. xD

    It would also save me logging in each one when I'm searching to fund a build...


    What you think ?
  15. I can't think of any other travel powers that I would like personally... but i'd like a little change to a couple if it was possible...

    Super Speed - Remove Cap please.
    Fly - Remove speed Cap pelase.
    Teleport - Change Group Teleport to Longdistance teleport allowing you to TP to any zone, this ofcourse could have a long recharge and animation time and you could arrive at the same position you do when using base tp'rs but I think this would be much much better and make the pool alot more popular.
    SuperJump - To be honest I like this power as it is.

    I'm also interested in the OP's reasons tho...

    He wants to farm to get influence...

    Which is used to buy IO's that you have no understanding of ?

    So why are you farming!
  17. If you are making statements like...

    Quote:
    "so what archetype is fire/kin ?"

    "I don't need to know how to slot end game enhancments yet"

    " I'm relatively new, so i don't know where to farm, or what to farm"
    Then you should not be farming...

    Learn the game, there are too many lowbies racing out to farm because it what the "cool kids" do.

    The reason that farmers are good at what they do is because they know the game and can design their characters to be accomplished at what task they want to perform.


    If you don't know the basics I would refuse to hand you a farm build.

    A defender's Speed Boost can be gotten at level 12. If exempted down to level 8, they would still have this buff power.

    An Arachnos, as mentioned in the first post, can get both the maneuvers sets by level 8.

    An Arachnos can't run both sets at level 8 because of the end-drain.

    However, with Stamina inherent, an Arachnos could run both powers by level 8.

    However, the players could get the same effect, that extra endurance, by simply exempting down a Kinetics Defender.

    The logic and tie-in reasoning here is very very very very simple: Players can get similar effects by teaming.

    The same effect of giving players Stamina or Health earlier, as an inherent, can be replicated by simply teaming with other players.

    The practical in-game effect of the change is negligible at the low to medium levels. More players will become more effective as they exit the low levels and enter the late teens to twentys as they can have more native powers rather than freeing up powers to take stamina at 20.

    The practical in-game effect at the top-end is yet to be realized. Presuming a large portion, 75% or more, of the player-base takes stamina, that means the inherent change will free up 3 extra powers.

    However, most players generally throw some slots into health and stamina.

    As far as we know, there are no extra power slots being distributed as well, meaning that players will ultimately have less slots for their powers than they do now with the change of the pool to inherent.


  19. Personally I think that this is super news... My defenders will now be able to softcap themselves so much easier, Manuvers, Weave and combat jumping is going to be the bread and butter of all my toons now. So that's a base 15% defense to all toons including the steadfast proc in tough..

    AH ha!.. fantastic thank you silas, very very helpful. Since the Patrons have been opened to both sides I intend to make full use of 120sec recharging powerboost for defenders, the one thing that made me take my buffers from an illusion control set was the recharge on powerboost... now my buffers will be unmatched!

    Thank you again.

    This is because DN works is that it continually reapplies the debuff on everything in range due to its toggle nature, ticking very quickly. FF shields on the other hand are a one-off 4 minute buff that is only reapplied when you reapply them manually.

    Fearsome Stare, as a click debuff, should inherit the PBed -tohit numbers for the entire duration of the FS debuff.

    Rough rule of thumb: if it's a toggle, PB will only buff it for its own duration. If it's a click, it will inherit the PBed numbers until it wears off.
    ah ok, I also heard that cold shields do not keep the duration of the boost... is this due to their also having a res based extra to them?
  23. It's more noticable the more HP you have, because it's percentage based... on my WP tank with 3200 hp it's quite good, on a level 13 brute it's probably not going to do loads but will get more and more effective as you level up.
