Quote:Lets not forget the "Walk" powerCastle: Hmm, I feel bad about i13 should we maybe help with some tweaks?
Posi: I'd love too but it looks like PvP is 1% of our population and they can't agree on anything.
War Witch: o look a fruit basket!
Posi: This apple is delicious
BaB: Not as delicious as this forum drama. Let's triple fly speed in PvP in GR. -
Quote:Yes it does, stalkers, even including sharks, are at an IMMEDIATE disadvantage to any pvp AT. It is quite that simple.
2 Shotting wont hurt the system as it stands. 2 Shotting a bad squishy with a good stalker should happen, and the squishy will die in the same amount of time if the other person is on a dom; as surely will they die if the good player is on a corr.
Look at it this way, in pvp, stalkers are only really useful in 2's and 3's, but a team of a dom and pain dom, are more of a threat.
Well see this morning there were 5 Stalkers, A Dom, and a Corr(dont know if they were teamed or not). I agree with you points in a 1 vs 1 situation but that is never the case. Almost 75% of the time RV is over run by stalkers. This can never be fixed as you cant tell someone what to play. But that shark damage is crazy.
Tell me this why can a stalker hid while in hibernation? That just not right. -
Quote:I agree with you. im not saying they should drop one a tf or anything. Im not whining on my behalf because i can afford anything i want or need. But look at how long i have been playing and im on everyday for at least 5 hrs and i have had 1 purple drop in a normal lvl 50 mission. The reset were attained by farming. But it is what it is. Like i said im not siding with anyone, but i can understand why it upsets them.Whiners have already been thrown a handful of bones, in the form of merits, MA tickets and drop weighting.
What do you think would mollify them, a dev flying over their house in a helicopter and dropping a crate of LotG 7.5's in their back yard?
Most of the "good" rewards in this game are absolutely available to anyone willing to make even a slight effort to earn them.
There is a point at which making things too available nullifies their value as rewards, and costs you more players than it placates. -
Quote:a part time 'casual player' who is disappointed that their inefficient play style doesn't earn them the game's best rewards is an entitlement case and a poor candidate for retention.
l337 rewards require effort, and should require effort.
That sort of treadmill will attract many more goal oriented players than it will lose whiny entitlement cases.
But your so called l337 rewards are in the same class with trap of the hunters and lethargic, perplex, but the average player doesn't seem to have a problem having those drop yet they are in the same tier with the 3 i mentioned above. This is what frustrates them. -
Quote:Back to what, simply stating what cause people to leave. That was one of many examples. Everyone has their own reasons for leaving.Are we back to this again? Those so-called 'casual players' purpling their warshades?
BUT if i was a casual weekend player who played and ran taskforces and i had to HOPE that a purple would drop, or even the non purple supposedly more common then a purple, Miracle +recovery, Numina +/+, or an LOTG 7.5 i would be kinda mad after awhile. I mean look at it this way it would take alot of TF's for the casual player to obtain those 3 by using merits.
We all know you dont need them to play a toon or enjoy the game, but it make it much better not having to stop and rest all the time. -
Quote:Not once did i use the word Dying. i said loosing more subscriptions then its gaining. Which means they a loosing PROFIT, not money but profit. If something is not profitable then it will no longer be a priority and ultimately get the axe.So by your definition, any game that steadily loses subscribers is dying? That would cover all but a handful of MMOs, most of which steadily loses subscribers after initial retail release.
Also, development houses and publishers simply don't put in millions of dollars of investment (which is easily the cost of i17 and GR) on something that doesn't have at least a good chance to recoup that money.
This is certainly and older game, but dying? That's a stretch. -
Quote:Your right, and i hope it does last another 2 years. But many things are leading to the decline.Hard to argue with, but saying "the game is dying" is a far cry from saying the game is imminently about to die. A more fair statement, assuming that subscriptions are trending lower, might be that the game is declining. That's not the same as saying it's about to die, which is without any question the implication intended by anyone saying "the game is dying".
It could be "dying" and last another two years.
Everyone has their own reason for playing, it could be killing players in PVP, it could be ripping people off on the market, farming as many toons to 50 as you can, maybe even a superhero fetish. But ultimately what happens is the devs change things we like because someone that came from another game doesn't like it. Such as the pvp changes sure only a small percent of people pvp, but thats what they pay 15 bucks for. Sure people want tons of 50's so they PL them, but thats what they pay for, some people despise it and complain so they nerf the farm missions in AE and outside of AE. Some nerfs are good (fixing exploits) some are bad lowering XP which hurts everyone(family farm). These things lead to people canceling their accounts. Some casual players cant enjoy the game because they cant get a pvp io or a purple drop so they leave. since purples were introduced, i have got 1 drop on a non farm run.
God forbid we get some true lvl 50 content. But hey we got a walk power. But i still love the game and that's why im still here. -
Quote:Just because free updates and a pay for expansion are on the horizon doesn't mean that the game is not loosing more people then it is gaining.I would hardly call a game that's on verge of another free issue and a major new expansion "dying". Games that are on its death throes simply do not do that.
Rouge is an attempt to bring people back if that fails the game is done. I however am here till the end. -
Quote:I can't make up my mind which I like better.
The worthless walk power (the devs really have that much time on their hands) or the never ending Halloween crap.
Either one the question remains, why?
This
Add a worthless power and destroy the servers. good job. i see my 30 bucks was well spent this month -
Quote:Panic mode maybe? seems i16, Didnt do much to keep people interested. Add to it that Aion and CO have went live, and all the lag issues (not ncsoft issue)on east coast servers i dont know maybe there player base is dwindling. I for one play once maybe twice a week now down from everyday.This is unexpected! And exciting! Now I just have to figure out how to avoid going to a football game so I can game.
What this could mean, and im just saying is that we get could a rushed out GR to try and get back players. People loose interest and coloring powers cant bring them back. -

Same as the others. Red spikes in the netgraph. Everything good on virtue.
Location: Erie, PA
Provider: Time Warner Cable.
Server: Freedom
Im about tired of it. We pay you for a service you can not provide. You pay the ISP for a service which they can not provide you. they need to refund your cash and you need to make good with us east coast people. -

Quote:Freedom's constant, insane lag that started with I15 has driven me to cancel both my accounts. Never in the history of the game has lag been this bad on Freedom, and I've been here since the beginning.
i dont pvp anymore because the lag is so bad for me in RV and prior to 15 was just fine. But you know devs and support it could be my 2.8 gig quad, 8 gigs of ram, gtx260, yada yada yada. -
sold 5 pvp io's and made 4.3 billion top that and I got to play the game.
you had to plot and scheme to rip others off. i played the game and listed the stuff at the going rate. people that do this crap are the reason the game is in this state you cry that there is farming yet your the cause of the farming. -
Quote:Ahh I can't wait! I hope there aren't any serious bugs that can come with this. We'll just have to test it like a **** to find out. So excited!!
HAHHAHAAH
Test all you want. The Game gets messed up more and more with every release. But they give us more fluff like purple imps and green fire. WoooHooo
My wish list for I16,
Stable Servers (Freedom anyway)
SADASDtttThis still isnt 100% fixed.
A fix for AE (what i have no clue) but the farming is out of hand.
Add your gripes here -
Since I15 i cant even come to RV it lags for me so bad. Ticks me off to cuz i was having a blast, but now its like the 3rd mission of the ITF. Well not that bad but close.

Worst Double Xp Weekend Ever.
We used to look forward to these events. now since you have launched AE its double XP everyday. I cant believe they didnt shut AE down for this event. But what ever i expected that.
Lag, Mapserve, Out right crashing, long friggen load times.
I have an idea for the DEV's..
How about for one month, take 5 bucks out of the monthly fee you get from us, put it in a jar on posi's desk.
At the end of the 30 day period you take that money and hire some server admins, network admins, and hell why not even a programmer or two that can fix the issues before you burden us even further with i16.
Wait they dont listen to us do they? -

I am not liking it yet. is there a way to expand the different main topics so we dont have to click the +
-
Not one here since the new system and im in there everyday for a few hrs i get my kills to.
Also side note. Went to BloodyBay, took 5 vils there and 1 hero. kill, relog new vill, did this for over an hour. each villain used 13 wakes and not one drop for the hero. so who knows what the new drop rate is? -
[ QUOTE ]
lol. what makes it worse is alot of them will try and insist that you don't use powers from your patron pool(like hibernate)...then i find myself asking why take a patron pool power if i can't use it.

I love the ones that tell you to stand still, not to jump around, don't pop inspirations, blah blah blah, my response to them is...
" Is there anything else you would like me to do that will help you beat me" -
Im using custom critters that's why i want it to be large since i figure i will only be able to do 2 maybe 3 maps i want the biggest bang for the buck.
The tiny little map preview thing doesn't really cut it as far as remembering a map from playing it. Wish we could click it and it would have like a flyover. -
Hey guys working on an Arc and would like to have a map with docks.
Some that come to mind are
The Faultline map: Has the Sub on it and need to blow it up (Doc Delilah maybe)
Indoor tech map maybe a vill map i think had 3 subs at the end and the AV at the top over looking it all.
Is the vill map with Sea Witch available?
The first map of the RSF?
Please and thanks for the help.
