Quote:What level are you at?Originally Posted by Dollymistress
Well, I'm a villain and Calhoun won't talk to me at all. I thought they weren't supposed to be level-specific? -
A superhero movie, or maybe something fantasy or Star Wars-ish
-
I wouldn't use them, but I'd like to all be available for other players.

It was obvious that you'd hide it from any form of discovery

Quote:Another form of cooldown that could work is to make the AE buildings match the level range of the zones they're in - for example, after you his level 6 in the Atlas AE, the rewards wouod stop, so you'd need to go to the one in Kings Row to continue, and so on.Originally Posted by Dr_Darkspeed
That wouldn't help the mapserver though. And we know the devs are concerned about load on the map server, its why they removed the instancing from the new low level content (and why they removed the ability to use /auctionhouse from inside missions).
Possibly they would make it more like only 6 map entires per hour. -

You really need to look at all the factors before you jump to "omg, they have one person with power over everyone....they're absolute EVIL!".

Quote:People would still use the AE to level normally - it'd just be an alternative to radio/newspaper missions.Originally Posted by Not_Rhino
What? No it wouldn't. If the farms were wiped out from AE then AE would be totally dead. The farm missions are "cluttering" AE because that's what people primarily use it for. People, if there were no AE farms, nobody would use it, and there'd STILL be nobody playing any of your story arcs.

Quote:Cooldowns are another useful weapon against these people - but they need to be used carefully to avoid harming the normal arcs, which can have quite short missions on them too - so reward cooldowns would probably be a better choice.Originally Posted by Dr_Darkspeed
Hmm.. it seems to me the next logical step is to put a cooldown timer for entering AE maps with rewards, for performance issues. So, maybe you can only enter 1 map per 10 minutes (number made up, starts counting from entering the map). Make it an account wide cooldown so people can't just swtch characters (unless they are paying for the privilege by having multiple acccounts that have payed for AE access)

Quote:The farm missions are cluttering up the AE mission list - destroying those would help the real missions get more air time - for the AE to work the way it was meant to work, PLing in it needs to be crushed.Originally Posted by hedgehog_NA
There is not a thing stopping them from expressing their creativity. Not 1 thing.
Unless they are in it for the "reward" of having their missions played. But rewards dont matter, so they can just keep on creating away.
The PL missions need to be targeted, the PLed avatars need to be targeted, the the players behind the PLing need to be targeted - any kind of tweak to the AE that harms the abiltiy to PL in any way, no matter how small, is a step in the right direction. -
Quote:I don't RP, and I don't have any arcs - I just want the AE to be used properly, to let players express their creativity - the PLers can go back to Peregrine IslandOriginally Posted by hedgehog_NA
and the rpfreaks will have it all to themselves. Then they will start complaining that no one plays their arcs..."Devs..make them play with me!!!!"

Quote:It'd be better than the AE in its current stateOriginally Posted by all_hell
That would be sad.

Someone in the last UStream chat suggested that the lack of snakes now might be connected to the new snakeskin outfits the CoT are wearing

Quote:Praetorian family values and a large canine?Originally Posted by Leese
I just did the mission that takes place near the Magesterium, and had, in quick succession, one of the funniest and one of the tensest and most scary experiences I've had so far in CoH.

So, this is like, an experiment, right?

Quote:One one of the 3 enemy groups on the blue side arc goes up to 50, which means it'd be hard to scale to for all levels.Originally Posted by TwoHeadedBoy
I'm not reading the thread because I don't want anything spoiled for me, but I will say that I now have to relaunch on a lower difficulty setting because I was not expecting to be exemped to level 20. That is pretty annoying, I wish this arc was played at the level of the mission holder.

Quote:She's interesting - she's a former villain who's joined the right side - she helps make the Freedom Phalanx more variedOriginally Posted by Lazarillo
My bet's on them swapping out the dead one for Desdemona. Devs seem to really like her for some reason.

I play villains all the time. I don't need your help, go away!

Quote:So either the devs have changed it, or Marty has become sentient, and is now running the game.Originally Posted by all_hell
That was the impression that I got about MARTy too. It was created so that they wouldn't have to monkey with things that may or may not have unintended side effects on "legitimate play"
-
Atlas Park isn't oversized - it's just heroically proportioned
-
The blue side one is outside the Skyway City police building - his name's Theoden, but the arc doesn't have anything to do with horses

Quote:I think that this latest buff to the AE should be viewed as just the first step in Marty's crusadeOriginally Posted by TheXor
PowerLeveling is okay, just do it marginally slower than you do it now plz.
... O_o

Quote:Or Marty might have told them which exploit to hit firstOriginally Posted by Memphis_Bill
But, given that MARTy didn't seem to really be affecting these, I suppose they "had to be seen to do something."

Quote:But that might mess up proper missions that use it for story purposes.Originally Posted by Severe
since there is no reward shouldnt you just take out self rezzing in the ae altogether?
