Inappropriate? Too tasteless?
But play whatever you enjoy playing. -
Quote:Highly rated or reviewed arcs are a self-fufilling prophecy that don't really seem to be correlated with how much I personally enjoy the arc. This is similar to Youtube viral videos, popular songs on internet. I believe all authors deserve a fair chance at play, regardless of how the initial play/rating is biased. This impels me to try to play AE arcs in a as statistically fair manner as I can...if I play.Originally Posted by Ironik
I'm interested in hearing them, if they're different from what's already been articulated.Quote:
Now you can say, play the ones that certain reviewers rated as good or posted on the forums. But good is subjective and I have philosophical objections to which there's no need to go into here.
I generally don't go around publicizing on the boards what I'm doing in-game, but I've actually levelled up 2 50's purely on AE arcs (not farms), so I think I'm qualified to say I have a fair idea of what kind of arcs are out there. I don't think the problem of AE is something a better search can solve. What are we searching for in the first place? What will removing old. arcs solve, either? There are enjoyable un-updated old arcs, and unenjoyable new ones. Removing unplayed/unrated arcs is the same. You can have a perfectly good arc sitting around with 0 plays waiting to be played, written by a global called @l337z0rl0xx who has never heard of posting on the boards -- why should his arc be deleted? A dominator player may enjoy x8 easily-held mobs that spam freezing rain that a brute hates, brute likes x8 brawling mobs that have status protection that the dom hates. Etc. Etc.
I think that when you have a system that allows anyone to publish, you will have a wide range of outputs. You will always have selected group(s) of people who want to change the system in a way that best suits their criteria. Not pointing fingers at anyone in particular or saying that it's bad. But it's not really 'good' or 'improvement' for everyone, only the group(s) involved. How will that draw more players to play AE, outside of the already present group(s) playing?
IMHO, YMMV, etc. -
I stopped doing AE arcs because of the difficulty of finding arcs that I enjoy, that did not make me feel like I could have done something else. Outside of farms, your generic AE arcs tend to give lesser game rewards so I expect my emotional compensation to be equal to the tangible game rewards I give up to do those arcs. Now you can say, play the ones that certain reviewers rated as good or posted on the forums. But good is subjective and I have philosophical objections to which there's no need to go into here.

Good bye Castle-dev.
Welcome back mysterious Castle-player! -
How is Wormhole not an every spawn power?

I hate the APPs!

They're making it so hard for me to decide what powers to take, because I want them all!

Back in the day...
...Stone tankers using rock armour and rooted looked like they were completely covered in poo, standing in a circle of poo, and stuck in a pool of poo. The couldn't move when they had their status protection (rooted) on. By the way, the armour didn't layer.
...Tankers didn't have gauntlet either. REAL(tm) tankers took teleport and taunt AND the pool taunt!
...Controllers didn't have containment. They brawled and took air superiority and flurry. Or they stood at the tram and cried for teams.
...However, they could summon three Jack Frosts, three Animated Stones, three singularities... and you prayed to dear god you don't end up teaming with more than 2 fire controllers.
...Howling Twilight rezzed people to 1 hp, Fearsome Stare sent mobs fleeing to the four far corners of the earth (as did all the other fear powers), and tar patch didn't debuff resistance.
...and lots of other silly stuff. Reading this thread made me chuckle at the bad old days. -
Aha. I'll try crafting those of the other level.
Thanks a lot guys.

Hello badgers,
Sorry if this is a known thing, but I'm stumped. I'm working on my invention badges and although I am crafting IOs of a certain type (in this case, lvl 25 and 30 Acc IOs), the progress bar on my badge is not budging and stuck at 11/17.
Anyone has an idea how to fix this? -

Quote:How many mobs does a kin defender need for Fulcrum Shift to get them to the cap?Originally Posted by NeonPower
TBH this is probably pretty crappy news to all the kinetic defenders out there.
If you can easily reach the damage bonus cap then an added 30% isn't going to be much use is it....
Edit: Actually, I got over my lazy butt and googled out the cap for defenders. It's 400% apparently. base + enhancements is 200%, so 200% more is needed. This is 7 mobs (50% + 6*25%). This means that I must defeat 7 mobs within 45 seconds or else I will drop below the cap at the next application. I must admit I've never checked to see if I can do that...nukes don't count. -
Quote:All but one of the times people have made unwanted sexual advances towards me in-game have been with FEMALE characters...Originally Posted by Fernandes
Interestingly enough though, all but one of the tiems people have made unwated sexual advances towads me in-game have been with MALE characters.

Quote:This. It's the 21st global century. Anyone who owns a computer and plays video games probably knows enough English to play a video game in English. I used to meet Korean and Japanese players all the time, but strangely not any more. If you market it, and it's fun, people will play it.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
Stop waiting on a localised version of your game that nobody's going to prefer over Original Game: Classic, anyway and just market the damb thing as it is. People will buy it.
Oh yeah, I'm in Asia. -
Mine was collecting every pokem-- I mean pet. (MM pets don't count because you can give them orders, so they are extensions of yourself rather than actual "entities".)
I'm still missing gun drone and photon seekers, but I haven't had much time or desire to play. -
Invoke Panic. I can't think of anything else that matches up to it in terms of poopyness.
-
Stamina, Hasten, Aid Self. Especially all three together!

Don't have a stormy on Justice, sorry

Which server?

If nobody is in the risk of dying whether the mobs are flopping...
Why not?
If frees up players to use AoE damage dealing powers with kb. -

Arcs by genre. This thread differs to the CoHmatoes thread as it links to authors' information (sometimes posters!) instead of reviews. Also, some of these genres are not superceded yet by the MA search keywords. But the links were a mess, formats varied, and some arcs no longer exist. So I tried to clean it up a bit. If it says post ID "@Someone" (a broken link) instead of a proper link, then the author should find their old thread and update the link. All internal forum links were broken in the forum migration.
Bullets colored for heroic/neutral/villainous. Non-existent arcs removed. Lists alphabetized. Arc IDs updated.

I have toons on Justice, Guardian, Virtue, Freedom.
Mostly only active on Virtue nowadays, and not playing so much anyway. -
I'm glad I found this thread. I love Freedom Force!
Ant is my favorite character. I like Man-O-War as well, and I keep Microwave for sheer usefulness.
I like all the mods too

Hello folks, thought I'd post here. There is one spot open for an onging RP static team every Friday evening 8pm EST. The schedule is about 1-2 weeks regular missions and 1-2 weeks plot development using Mission Architect.
The relevant thread is here.
Preferably you can be certain to commit to staying in the static team, though it's the free world and we won't make you sign any slavery contracts
"Something happened in Paragon City that evening. No one knows for sure, or at all for that matter, but something happened....and it was big.
The lights were cut out for miles, and any technology independent of electricity, just shut off. Magic users everywhere felt what they discribed as a "disturbance", right before their powers went inactive as well. And both science and mutant heroes could witness a few moments of normality...before it all came back.
Astounded, Paragon City stood for a second. Nobody moved, nobody talked, but like the "event" it didn't last, and soon scientists started moving, the mayor organizing a conference, and the heroes back to kicking the thugs from the streets...yes, it was all back to normal...except for one subway cart, strangely located right at the center of the Event, that wasn't..." -
There are players who aren't American, Canadian or European...

Oceanic heroes know how to swim in case of floods, tsunamis, or rising sea-level.
