I just look at the free transfer as the Devs backhanded way of supporting PLing. See make a toon on Freedom PL it then transfer it to your real server. It keeps the "undesirables" in one location but allows the "proper" players to get their PL fix.
By doing this they keep the farmers supplied with people, keep the majority of farmers together, get people more 50's for incarnate stuff. But they control the speed of the PL toons creeping into the other servers. Just like in real life. We know of the neighborhood with the drugs and hookers, so do the cops. But by keeping it in one area it stops the spread to the rest of the town and allows the upstanding people to stay safe in their homes but the can venture out to get freaky every once ina while. Same deal Freedom is your redlight district, your free transfer is a way for the population to play there safely and escape.

But then again maybe I just read too much into it, and the Devs thought having a Free Transfer would be nice since so many wanted the free transfers in the past.

Hi,

I migrated over to Exalted. The Eleventh Hour Super Group was my solo base on Freedom.
It currently sets with 14,000,000+ Prestige. It has Ouro crystal, storage, TP to all hero zones. Just send a messege to my global Kid Street. If you are interested. No set price, Im not greedy. It would be a good base for a starting sg, or to expansion for a large sg that needs a place for alts.

Seems to happen almost daily. After logging on, finding a team, and just start a mission, a big wall of red text appears and the game goes down. Often I find I can't log back in for hours at a time. When I do get back the people I was playing with aren't there. I'm scared I think the big wall of red text is eating players.

Ok I confess it was me. Yep laid the smack down on the begging for AE farms this morning. Told them to go to Freedom why ruin 2 servers. Beg and PL there then when you're ready to play transfer your toon here. Got the standard its my $15 buck a month yada yada yada. Well we all know the rant. Any way as far as people go and play this server is by far the best COH has to offer right now. Have been having fun teaming in pugs, tf's and building a new sg. Best of all no RMT spammers. And if the OP thinks this server has attitude best not step foot on Freedom I'm sure they will make you cry yourself to sleep.

Yeah why not a big glowie stun stick. Or a Rikti head nailed to a piece of wood. Or Stuffed rikti monkey. See there's 3 themed maces/clubs right there.

Anyone try Spring Attack + Whirlwind?

Not bad idea witht eh turning off X to get more Y.

The only thing that will kill inflation is a ceiling set price.

Put a Store on all sides or Pocket D that sells everything (yes everything, purps, temps, x-mas salavage..) for a set influence price. I don't care if every purple is 2 billion inf. Whatever value is set that would be the new max anyone would pay for said item so no more off market sells.

The other thing is that you need influence eaters. Like any or all of the following.
Convert Influence to reward merits.
Make AE a pay to play.
Make AE a pay to vote.
Put in more temp powers that people can by with their influence. (ie 25 mill inf = 1 hour x2 xp; want to auto complete that mission 1mill x lvl of mission)
Scrap XP debt instead have the player loose 10% of thier current influence.
Leave the influence cap at 2 billion, but make influence account based not toon based.
Let people buy up or down a recipe level (with the min max being what the recipe actually is normally). So if you get a level 38 recipe and you want it to be level 30 it will cost you 8 mill to convert it.

All these things will eat influence. Less influence means more bang for the buck and little to no inflation. Add in a ceiling on prices and you pretty much have as much of a fix as you can get.

Quick questions since NDA is lifted.

My understanding is that you can start any AT now via Galaxy city. So if I make a SOA and go Blue side will I get the patron power pools at 41 or will I have to go back Red side?

Or will there be Epic or Hero Patron choices?

Fire/Rad/Psi Controller

Choking Cloud + Hot Feet + World of Confusion = A walking death machine.

Throw in your debuffs and little imps and watch the mobs stand there and die.

Well it sorta depends. Each At has its pros and cons. But generally here is my choices.

1) Controllers
(Love my Ill/storm and Fire/rad) but wont play anything Emp or Electric Control)
2) Dominators
Generally they are everything I wish Blasters were.
3) Cors/Defenders
again no Emps Yuck! Basically they play the same if I feel more blasty then Cor if I feel more Buff then Defender
4) Peace bringer Human Form - would be higher but hate tri form and with little option as Human only no need more than 1.
5) Blasters - Pre GR these uses to be my fav. But limited secondary and glass jaw drops them
6) Tanks - Specifically Invc/anything

Don't like Scraps/Brutes Scraps remind me of barking chiuauas and Brutes the same but rabid.

Want to like Warshades but I hate TP so much as a travel power they are a nonissue for me.

Stalkers are fun only solo. And Going Solo in a MMO is like wanking at an orgy. If you don't want to play with others then why are you here?

Just quick question.

Will the temp 30 day jet pack be purchable via points? If so how much? Also will there be a non temp version?

Would be nice since we have 2 run/jump temp powers and 2 superjump temp powers.

I found the easiest way to buy the game for a friend is toget a throw way Visa Card. Just give them the card or email them the numbers on the card. Let them use that to pay for the game.

So RMT spammers get full excess to all channels for the low low price of $1.99.

Ok, like to add another 2 cents here now that the weekend is almost over.

This was a great fun time. Not because of the x2 xp (though nice). It was that PI was alive with TEAMS not farms, not doorsitting, not AE. But real teams running arcs and radios. People played other things than ss/fire Brutes. People were nice and forgiving of mistakes. It was like the game got sent back 2 years in how the players were acting. Maybe the Devs should rethink the xp rewards in game a bit. Better XP in the game outside of the AE was the cause for the teaming. I actually dread Monday when its back to AE grind and finding a pug will no longer be easy.

Not helping news players by pl'ing them? New players? Not many of those around. A quick mouse click and you can see if they are a 2+ year vet. So easy to check if they have been around before AE.

As far as the game doesn't start til 50, Well even though I like the 20-40 level stuff, you have to admit the NEW game doesn't start til 50 with the incarnate stuff. This is the direction the game is going so getting a toon there to start the trials for the future game play is more inviting than doing the same old arcs at the old pace.

If you don't like paying for farms or charging then simply don't do it. There is a large amount of people who fall into this group. Paying is a choice.

Just for the record all the incarnate stuff is farming. With 3 trials that you go over and over to get A-merits and E-merits it just reenforces the farming mentality. If regular TFs had the option for 50's to choose A/E-merits instead of Reward Merits maybe you would see more diverse game play.

Think only real way to stop farming is to start every one at 50 and make everything nontradeable. No need to pl for xp, no way to pay but the game isn't set up this way. So there will always be farming. Good or Bad.

I don't see x2 xp as any big deal any more. Patrol XP is 1.5 xp and since I alt hop most I'll gain is .5 xp. Also since I know some good farmers if I really want a 50 fast well 3 hours is all thats needed.

Fast leveling doing regular game content forces you to miss some arcs becuase of the fast leveling. And if you are only doing radio/paper missions to gain levels fast well see the above with 3 hour farming.

x2 xp had its place in the past but now its not really needed.
Now x2 merits of all types that would be cool.

Honestly I would rather have all the holiday events go live for the weekend; Halloween, X-mas, and V-day.

midgard can i haz ur stuf?

You all know this is the change to the starting Tutorial for Red/Blue side right?
Both heroe and villian wannabes will start in GC and make a moral choice where to go next. Bye-bye Breakout/Outbreak hello GC.

What I was asking for was either a way that I could turn off the buffs. (best solution cause its up to me to decide if I want it or not.) Or the other option is to have it effect teams/leagues only. At least this way bystandards aren't hit. (not a better solution since some my want the buff). Perhaps a third solution is turning off the animation/visual effects of the buffs. So if you do ice me I dont see it or it doesn't take me out of my emote that I'm in.

Just wait til the game is F2P and you have dozens of new players on free accounts just buffing to grieve. It was already happing when they could do it one toons at a time, but hey now lets hit everyone in a CC. Or look there's a group of people chatting and stuff lets go over a disrupt them. weeeeeeeeeeee. what fun.
