Viper, the point IS, no one knows, because what constitutes "abuse" of the system is STILL not spelled out.

To hurl threats like that without giving the criteria beside his whim is totally unacceptable. (In addition to making these activities RETROACTIVE crimes punishable by a death sentence to your character.)

Nope, there are patch notes.

Check the post time on that. That was posted *after* this thread was started, and hours after the patch went live. Just FYI

See? My point exactly.

Actually he doesn't say "deleted", he says "lose access to", which infers that the characters will still take up slots on your account, yet for all intents and purposes are deleted.

Ha! You have fallen for my red herring! You don't think I'd have used my REAL arc name, do you?

(oh, damn. Another arc idea: "The Mystery of Red's Herring.")

Not to mention said retroactive punishment is mentioned no where but a single post on the forums (which more than 75% of players never read.)

I agree that this really ranks up there with Emmert at his height. To issue a threat like that with no criteria, then hide from the feedback is truly unprofessional. I sincerely doubt that any game dev, at least in the MMO realm, has ever had a single day of management training.

Oh, ok. I was afraid that if someone came up with the same name, the first person to publish got the name and the other person had to rename their arc.

So, you could have ten "Bobo's Big Adventure"? Man, that will get confusing.

I am trying to learn the AE system, and find the maps/items that will allow me to build the story I have in mind, so am going pretty slow. My question is, can someone "hijack" the name my arc is saved under if it's unpublished?

If so, I will have to refrain from talking about it in public and just bug the living crap out of my SG mates (waves at Night-Girl)

This entire thread should be a huge honking clue to the Devs that there is something seriously wrong going on.

Yes, people aren't playing the way Jack Emmert, er I mean YOU decree they must.

My argument was fallacious? My argument against removing the buildings from the zones and putting it only in Pocket D or its own similar zone? Or the OPs?

I actually agree with your statement, but that isn't what was on the table.

EDIT: Wait. You mean cram it all in one zone and have the buildings just be entrances to the zone? Uh, no. You think it's crowded NOW....

Obviously you've never seen a second instance of a zone pop Your intellect is far too weak for your arrogant tone.

That's a fallacious argument. All you do is have the doors on the existing buildings be zone entrances to the AE zone, which is nothing but the interior of the building. The existing building models in the various zones stay exactly where they are, and people still come in and out of the building just like you see now.

Aw, too bad. Thanks for checking though. I ran one map yesterday (using the tickets to fish for some recipes I need) that was custom dual-blade clowns on a city carnie map. We had a blast!

But, and we were discussing this, once the mobs learn to build combos, that map will be transformed into some sort of Ironman challenge!


And of course, I can't find the name or number.

Jungle (no war walls)
more remote outdoor areas (no war walls).

Cimeroa village

I want the laser rifle powers from Bots taken and fleshed out into a blaster primary. You already have a third of them done!

Laser Blaster Full Auto FTW.

Is it possible to put the glowie at the door, and when they click on it, have the error dialog say that they need the passcode so-and-so has in order to access it?

Then, when the turncoat is led to the door, the glowie is there and it all meshes.

awesome. Greatly appreciated.

@Frostweaver

That sounds *awesome* The only farms I've seen are the city block with the comm officer pride parade.

Would it be too much trouble to PM me the arc number, if you remember it? That sounds like more of a story than half the stories.

You did it wrong

the farming mission you need to choose has a level 45 av or eb in it, that goes from 45-50. You do it with level 50 dolls and have a REALLY fast level 50 burner (There are very few builds that qualify). Just hit the main concentrations and the massed ambushes, if you miss a few go on to the next group, don't screw around with singles or doubles or any mobs less than about 10 at a time.
That will get you from level 1 to level 46 in a little over 35 minutes (Conceivably faster if you can find a faster burner) and then you have about 25 minutes to get from 46-50 via standard level 54 doll missions or keep doing that one... the problem is that that single mission slows down dramatically after level 46, 49-50 alone took almost an hour.

Your ideas intrigue me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Is it possible to rearrange the order missions are in in your arc, or perhaps add a mission someplace other than the end of the arc?

Example: I want to work on the second mission of an arc, so see if what I have in mind is possible. How that mission turns out will have a great deal to do with the map I will use in the first mission. Is it possible to do the second (and even third mission) and then go back and add a mission as #1? What if I decide that mission 2 would work better as the first mission? Can I delete the first mission and the rest of the missions "move up a notch" so to speak?

I enjoy the adrenaline rush a good, massive fight brings. Probably the mission I love most in the entire game is in the Silver Mantis Strike Force, where you're in that warehouse and the Freaks hit you in waves over and over and OVER again, from two directions! (I plan on trying to recreate that vibe in a mission arc, if I can find some outdoor jungle maps)

Anyway, if I want some mad combat action, and there's no Ritki Raid or Zombie raid, I can always jump into an AE farm map for some wild combat. (and I used the tickets to unlock a bunch of content to make my own missions. Tickets I would not have had were it not for the farm.)

As I mentioned in another thread, I was looking for a jungle map. I believe I've unlocked all the cave maps and arachnos lair maps, but can't find what I need. I was thinking, even a Perez Park map that had no visible walls would do. In fact, it would be a nice change of pace!

I was going through the maps tonight, and may have just missed it, but are there any "jungle" outside maps? I saw one from Primera(?) but it was almost all just an estuary and the shores of said body of water.

Overlap them by one level. I bet that fixes it.

Sometimes you are going back to a powerset that you played before, but deleted the character for some reason. God knows I've deleted plenty of toons since release day, then gone back to play them when the powerset in question had been changed.

I mean, come on. How many times can you go through the Hollows before tearing your eyes out?

This whole pro- and anti- farming thing is like the gay marriage circus. One side thinks that their (virtual) way of life and personal life will be absolutely destroyed if some other person (whom the first person is NOT being forced to group with) lives their (virtual) life in a way that offends them.

How about an enemy group set to ally, but with no attacks? Would that not activate the AI routine of "I can't attack, thus I must run away"? Of course, it would be kind of a "loping" run, not a full out sprint.
