    For being such a good thing it's odd that they felt the need to add balanced archetypes just like we have here.

    Do like some of the options but a lot of them are "Yeah, that's nice, but if only they had tweaked it to work like this instead".
    I see what you're saying, but I must admit I'm still pleased with what it's given me. I've been able to give a lot of my costumes a much needed tweak that brings them closer to what I envisioned.
  3. You're right. So who else is happy with the new Booster pack?

    Forbin_Project dose not understand that i know how to play and have skills whatever i farm or not. Farm is good anyways to build your base who in the world wan'ts a base thats a cube and just a teleporter inside.

    No I didn't. Here's what I actually said.

    That was about power leveling not farming.

    Edit: A person can be power leveled all the way up to 50 and never once step foot in another players farm.

    You do realize that I'm the one that told you that . . . Right?

  6. The change in scheduling to Tuesday nights killed the show for me. On Fridays there was nothing else of interest on, so I was willing to watch it, but I'm not passing on a chance to watch a shows I actually look forward to seeing to watch SGU.

    2 more TF's isn't going to drastically expand the end game content, and the Alpha slotting is just going to give level 50 characters more reasons to farm so their builds can be more powerful.

    IMO the AE should never get any access at all to Purple/PvP recipes. There are too many people that make every effort possible to abuse and exploit the AE, and those aren't even the RMTers.

    When a character reaches level 50 the only thing left to do is farm. End game content is very limited in this game because the focus here is about the journey not the destination.

    There isn't a combination of power sets in this game that can't solo it's way up to 50. They each require different tactis and strategies to be played effectively but that only come by actually playing the game.

    People that rely on others to powerlevel them never learn how to play the game, and then suffer under the delusion that they need other peoples help to get things done.

    Go right ahead. There are plenty of people that use people to door sit because they enjoy more difficult missions. Your only hurting yourself by letting other people play the game for you.

    You'll get bored and cancel your sub when you realize this game isn't about end game content and you have nothing to do at 50 but farm.

    What part of the word "No" do you have trouble understanding? The "N" or the "O"?

    The devs have always flat out refused this request. It has nothing to do with whether or not it can be programmed. They simply won't allow it.

    You will never be allowed to change your power sets. Deal with it.

    1. He wants a powerset respec which the devs flat out keep telling us will never happen every time it gets brought up.

    2. He wants to swap out MM henchmen while keeping the three MM attack powers the same which will also never happen because the devs will never let us cherry pick powers for AT's


    If the OP wants to play a game that allows that I suggest he try that other super hero game that allows people to customize their power sets. The one that has lost so many customers it's been forced to go F2P because people found out custom built builds suck.

    But the reference might be too obvious.
    Maybe Lord R's Earth-based laser could be mounted in a submarine built to look like Lord R himself and . . .




    Yeah, your right this would be too obvious.

    I'm not going to admit to what I misread his name to be the first time I read it, but to this day it's still the first thing to pop into my mind when I see his posts because I'm secretly embarrassed over the stupid misread.

    No I know you're not the one pushing for it but the OP is. Oh and it's not that direct a jump to A-merits. At least 1 step was skipped.

    1. Farm AE tickets
    2. Convert Tickets to Merits and/or Inf
    3. Convert Merits and Inf to A-Merits
    4. Convert A-Merits to Purple/PvP recipes
    5. Ridiculous amounts of profit


    Now even today the OP let it slip that A-Merits are his goal.

    Also if you'll notice he's making a lot of effort to downplay how quick and easy it is to earn AE tickets.

    a good farm map takes about 2-3 hours to completely clear it

    you just can't farm a AE map the same way anymore, it's harder and takes longer.

    first of all the inventory ticket cap is 9999, secondly that'll take a while to earn in AE.

    Oh and I wasn't going to comment on this at first but how stupid does the OP think we are when he said this.

    Currently there is no way possible for AE farmers to get their hands on Purple/PvP recipes farming AE tickets, and he doesn't see how AE "exploiters" (his own words) can get greater rewards if they are given access to A-Merits?


    Oh and out of curiosity, am I the only one who read that post and got the impression that the OP accidentally admitted he looks for exploits to abuse? I admit my cynical nature tends to lead me to expect the worst motivations. So I coud be wrong.
  21. Just to prove a point and confirm what others have said that contradict what the OP stated about how long it takes to earn AE tickets I took my lvl 50 Mastermind on an AE mission made by someone I know in the game.

    you also have to take into the fact people make farms based on their toons strengths so they could blow through it and make 1500 tickets in less than 20 min

    Before I ran the mission.




    And after I ran the mission.




    Took me about 35 minutes. So if I was the type of person that enjoyed running the same mission over and over I could reach 9999 AE tickets in 3 1/2 hours.

    With each and every post you make it more and more abundently clear that you have no concept of how quickly people can earn AE tickets, nor how to create and run an AE farm mission.

    No actually it isn't. If I had said something like "Only a moron would take random rolls when he could choose the most expensive item to sell on the market." That would have been insulting. All I did was state my opinion, based on what I've seen people do and what they are willing to pay to get their hands on Purple and PvP recipes. Those things are ultra rare by dev design.

    Remember the OP also said this.

    maybe Hero/Villain merits should be purchasable once a day with AE tickets as well? maybe the rate for hero/villain merits should be 4000 AE tickets?
