Not possible, unfortunately.

As I said, it was a very small map, two or three spawns, one glowy, and an ambush or two. Even on a very difficult setting I don't see anyway that the tickets granted from defeats could be more that 75 to 100, and even that's pushing it a bit.

[/ QUOTE ]

Then this should be investigated and quantified. Let's get Arcanaville on it right away, seriously.

WTH does he have to do with anything? Last i looked he wasnt a redname unless its a devs alt account. If thast the cas. you may want to keep that under your hat so to speak. he may not want that getting out. but idk.

Plz explain why his testing is so superior to others and how SaintTzu is too incompetent to test this issue out. An issue that he found and brought it to light in this thread.

I know thats not what you directly said but you definitely implied that. Just not in as many words.

For those of us who like a good story the # of tickets you get means nothing so capping it does nothing for us.

[/ QUOTE ]

You're wrong, it does do something for us. It makes all the people that are there only for "1337 r3w4rdz" leave MA so that we can actually run normal teams that will allow us to enjoy the story rather than rushing through everything in the fastest and "most efficient" way possible. You can see this already in this thread.

Yay for reward nerfs!

[/ QUOTE ] really? so whast gonna happen when you want to io out a toon but wait.... there no ios at the Bm cause of the ticket nerf. like it or not but villain side market has always been in a rough state. Then the devs say o we gonna nerf rewards again and give ya merits. that foollish decision and had literally destroyed what was left of the market. then we get tickets (yay) instant influx of ios and ppl now able to by things that werent currently there. now there nerf and your saying tickets dont matter. your glad there nerf cause now you can run your stories with teams that enjoy the story and dont care about rewards or the rest of the ppl in th game. kinda short sideed and selfesh of ya aint it?

As to the remark of calling midas a farmer. you say it like its a bad thing. whether he is or isnt is besides the point. whether you or the devs like it or not farmer and farming in essential to this game. If it wasnt for farmers, and farms. where would you get your ios from? certainly not from the few merits you get as you lvl to 50. where do you think most of the io come? You think prices are high now? lets kick all the farmers out of the game and lets see how the market is then.

Its the farmers that are selling services for RL money that is the problem. not the players that farm so they can have ios for there alts or have the inf to buy the ios they need. the devs and the players need to relize that there are 2 very distinct types of farmers.

lastly, im really getting sick of hear about the devs whining like children about farmers. They may be great video game developers but there business skills severely lack. If they truly wanted LESS farming then they need to stop nerfing rewards. and actualy give a NICE boost to drop rates. It will only creates more farming so the players can get the enhancements they want/need sometime before the servers go dead. But there actions say they want more farming and want something to whine about. They nerf rewards time and time again. Any time the villain market started to look good they nerf something. this time it was ticket. last time it was merits. Yes merits was a nerf. between giving us a 24hr timer and dimishing returns you couldnt earn as many ios in the same 24hr period as you could before merits. Befor some says "well now you can buy what you want". Big deal ya need 200+ merits. the old system you could earn enough ios to trade/sell to buy what you wanted alot faster then you can earn 200+ merits.

[ QUOTE ]
I call it like I see it. And I see the tickets as being the frosting, NOT the cake.

[/ QUOTE ]

I can respec that but what about risk vs reward? theres no salavge drops or io drops. so in place they gave us tickets to compensate. Which was awesome. it did alot of good to the villian side market. this will have a very bad effect on the market now. my take a min for ios to dry up but with merits the way they are now tickets. its looking grim again for villians ......i truely hope though i am wrong. nothing at the BM to buy sucks serious donkey.........

no its not. Just cause your a fanboi and the devs do no wrong doesnt really make ppls arguments less valid.

[/ QUOTE ]

You must have missed the post where I said that the MA was disappointing because you can't manually place spawns. I got crucified. I'm not a "fanboi".

[/ QUOTE ]

I did miss that and if infact you are not a fanboi then i appolgize but thats not the way you come arcoss in your post in this thread

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
did I say blank sheets? I said signature AVs at lvl 52-54 with Hard mobs.... not fire imps (which were rightfully killed off)

1500 ticks or less is a waste. It should scale with mission difficulty..... I mean heck my team is taking all the risk, where is the vaulted reward part of the ratio?

[/ QUOTE ]

You avoided the question. Let me state it more directly then. If the MA gave a guaranteed HUGE reward, but had virtually no content... would you quit then, or would you be just as happy?

[/ QUOTE ]

no its not. Just cause your a fanboi and the devs do no wrong doesnt really make ppls arguments less valid. I think you missed his point. hes asking for equal risk vs reward. Which the devs selectively use when its in there favor. It was the devs that started teh risk vs reward but yet ignore when ever it is convenient for them. The mobs were already stronger then normal mobs. Then they added range damage that deals out ridiculous amounts of damage. Then if they werent dont spanking us for our naughty farms they nerf teh rewards. He wasnt asking for anything that was unbalanced or unfair.

As to the guys that posted about the devs having a hissy fit. i think your right!!! They give us a system that they worked on for Mos. Then they nerf a few things that granted, was understandable. then they start throwing in overpowered ranged attacks. Banning accounts and type up a huge glorified rant. If that wasnt enough to run off all players. they nerf the rewards. WTF is wrong with the devs and will some1 plz admit them to rehab. they def have a drug problem.

The MA are far from risk vs reward now and like it not MA had brought a lot of live back to smaller populated servers. now its back to where it was it seams or atleast not far from it.

There no way you will convince me they didnt know about these supposed exploits. after Mos of creating and testing the servers. Unless they have very incompetent testers. which i highly doubt.

All ppl are asking for is equal risk vs reward. whats wrong with that? Before you try to tell us that the rewards do equal risk. you will have to explain that in detail. just dont get butt hurt when we prove ya wrong

ya i have also gotten that error message a few times in the last few days. few annoying when it happens. i gen wont be able to log that toon back in for 5-10mins afterwords.

anything in particular i should be looking at?

ok, tyvm ill try this.

I constantly losing connection and at times while im trying to load in a toon. One sec ill be fighting, next sec i click a power and nothing.

Heh, heh, heh... I guess they got tired of giving out two freespecs with the last couple issues, and the mountain of complaints they got along with them.

[/ QUOTE ]

With Dual Builds, it SHOULD be two respecs. Might need to do both your builds, eh?

[/ QUOTE ]
QFE. What say you, devs?

[/ QUOTE ]

Totally.

I also want a pony. And two hundred dollars. In sequential bills. And a banana split on a silver platter.

[/ QUOTE ]

Syrusb is right. Be thankful your getting 1 at all. There was a time when the respec missions where harder. There was no such thing as a respec recipe. Vet rewards weren't out yet. You couldn't even buy them real money at the time even if you wanted to. So you was limited to 3 respecs for the life of your toon. Even with duel builds there are plenty of ways to get a respec with literaly little to no effort now a days.

i laughed so hard when i read this. that youtube vid is great too. nothing like waking up to some good laughs

Just let me know how i can help.

You can remove Badge Squad from the list, it seems that someone booted a lot of people and made it private.

Yea, there was some issues due to a particular person. Won't name his name but we all know who he is. So we all left and the new channel is now Badgers Covenant. Same ppl, different name. I thought it was already posted here but I guess not. O and its not private. It public just like old badgers was.

[/ QUOTE ]

Heroes don't really need any new zones. Like I said before on hero side, there are still zones and contacts I have never seen or spoken to in 4 years of playing this game.

Villains side, I've exsperienced everything... 5 times. Villains are the ones lacking in the content department.

[/ QUOTE ]

And oddly enough... the number of villan players is much smaller than hero players.

So the devs could spend their time creating more content for the smaller segment of the player base... or they could spend their time creating content for the larger segment of the player base... or they could spend their time creating content for both segments simultaneously...

gosh... I wonder what they'll do...??

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes because they totally didn't add any Red side only content in Issue 12, nope none at all.

[/ QUOTE ]

Huh. What was the new villain zone in i12? I must have missed it.

Cimerora. My Mastermind hit 50 there ... during an ITF. My first 50 ever, too.

O nobody is saying they didnt give us VEATs that we had to wait 2 years for. Then tell us they are the same minions we have been beating up for the last 2 years. But the reason why we got them is cause of how story driven they are well they fit to the story line.

[/ QUOTE ]

"Story driven" is and always has been the whole point of epic archetypes.

[/ QUOTE ]
lol plz learn to read the whole post. The fact that they are story driven is my point. where is the story? theres a complete lack of arcs/sf and/or trial for them.

[/ QUOTE ]

Are you kidding? You get a short arc every 5 levels at least until 25 for them, probably farther. You HAVE actually gone to the contact you get referred to by the VEAT starting contact, right? Then the one he refers you to, then....etc.

[ QUOTE ]
Not to metion the story line actualy lacks in quality in compared to HEATs.

[/ QUOTE ]

Did you PLAY Khelds when they first came out? Wasn't much beyond the first 10 levels in the way of Kheld arcs.

[/ QUOTE ]

the issue after HEATs they got all there contacts and there sf. there arcs are longer and go past lvl 25. Heros have far more missions plus a far better story line. VEATs story is bleh at best So i dont really see how you can not understand where im coming from.

Ppl were compaining that they get rehashed minions already in game and that it was a cheap cop out that they didnt get something new and different to the game like the the space aliens found on hero side. The devs said disagread cause of how they fit and how story driven the epics are. yet the story line and amount of content that comes with them is very supstandard compaired to HEATs. Play value is grade A. no question. story and content that goes with them is wel......bleh

Yet the story conent sucks bad and has a total lack there of. hardly any arcs, missions, and no SF ot trial to go along with. Villians do lack horrably in the quanity of story content. Not to mention the qaulity of most of it aint that great to be honest. The game its self is awsome but lacking in mission type content

[/ QUOTE ]

Hmmm. I'm having a blast with my VEAT, and find there is a glut of content, and stuff I passed by. Thank goodness for Ouro so I can go back and do more arcs...

[/ QUOTE ]

I didnt say they weren't fun to play. I did say in general it was an awsome game. But were is this glut of conent? I cant seem to find all this story content you seam to think there is. Can you show me where the epic SF and/or trial is? can you show me where all there story arcs you seam to think there is? I can show where there are for the HEATs but not the VEATS. Simply cause they do not exsist. Thats not even comparing the actualy quality of the story lines between the two epics. hero epic story line is far suprior to villians.

As far as the ourobors. It actualy does very little for villian side. If you actualy run the arcs instead of getting Pl or running alot of paper missions on teams. You will find that you will need to run paper missions just to fill inthe gaps. Its why villians had then from day 1. So in short the flash back system is more for heros since it is very easy to out lvl alot of conent. I think you may be getting the sides mixed up a bit.

But...but... I thought the Dev Team hated Villains?

[/ QUOTE ]

Though i13 has lots to be really thankful for and will be very interesting to see how it turns out. Villians still actualy lack in story content. arc, sf, trails and things alike.

Prime example is VEATs. They are archonos knockoffs and we were told that they are a story driven AT and it just fits really well into the theme. Cool, sounds great and the ATs are really fun to play but wheres the story? wheres the SF? The VEATs story line (what little there is) isnt very good. Not to mention it only took over 2yrs to get. Story wise, HEATs are far superior to VEATs. I really dont see how heros can whin or see where villians have gotten that much.

THough on another note the Devs have done a great job adding new content and fluff to an already great game. I13 looks to be full of win and im very eager to see it hit live. I can only hope villians will one day get more contacts,SFs,Trails and such

CoH has a bigger population, who whine more, and whine louder than the CoV community. They hold forum population majority. CoV was made specifically to generate more econ to pump into CoH. The devs can save both time and funds simply by creating co-content that short-changes CoV but is specifically, for some reason, beneficial and useful to players of CoH. Any and all one-sided villain content is eventually transferred to CoH and given a buff. Content that was originally hero-side, will, with some reluctance, will be given to CoV. However, said content will be thouroughly re-worked, and it will be stated said content will be 'more powerful' than its hero counterpart, and it will turn out to be craptastic in comparison. Villain issues will be backburnered in favor of hero issues. There will never be any more villain-side only content, but expect more hero-side only content in the near future.

The Devs do not give a [censored] about CoV in the short run. They only care about it as long as it brings in money so they can fuel blue-side, which in turn, means they have to make a few mediocure attempts at improving the red-side content. They do so slowly, reluctantly, and poorly.

That turned into a rant. All of the above is OPINION, only SOME of it is necessarily fact.
