I'd really like to know how this "helps" anyone. -
Quote:It's probably not a good idea to publicly say how fast you PL to 50 in the AE - it might make Marty wrathfulOriginally Posted by Severe
yeah itll make me go from 6 hours to 8?...good job!

It is in the patch notes

Not sure what the intended goal of this is.

or we just been doing them for 7 years and tire of them...

Guardian's a nice server - and they run some good leagues

Quote:It's a neat little buff, whatever it is - and it might even have been based on feedback from MartyOriginally Posted by Severe
since they dont tend to share changes in exploits..i guess you were wrong again....hmmm

Custom Critters within Mission Architect which are capable of self-revival will give no rewards when they are defeated for the second and subsequent times. The powers still contribute to the calculation of their custom XP values.
EDIT: I wonder if this was done based on feeback that Marty gave them? -
The patch notes are up, and here's the AE buff:

I really want to know who's doing the unseen moustache twirling in the cutscene

Quote:Well, it could be an exploit - it depends on how it's usedOriginally Posted by Severe
but a change to xp in any kind isnt a exploit and should be noted.

That'd actaully be a buff to the game

Quote:Count the number of hunts you now have to do 1-29 with the new contentOriginally Posted by Lazarillo
It doesn't matter what it's for. You can't say they're "dealing with" hunts and certainly not removing them, when half of the missions for the arcs in question are hunts! That's not even insane troll logic, that's just...not logic!
-
I like all the new blue side content - and I'm sure the stuff for dirty Villains is equally good

Quote:That's to reduce the load on the mapserverOriginally Posted by Lazarillo
Then you clearly haven't played the new lowbie arcs. Hunts come up constantly. Aaron Thiery's was horrible. "Hunt Hellions. No wait, I mean hunt Arachnos. Good, but now hunt Arachnos that have specific names. Oh, and I saw some pylons, go hunt those. And yes, I guess, if you really feel like you have to, you can go do a door mission now."

Signature arcs are free for VIPs.

Yeah, one of the Hero Task Forces are from the first year of the game, and they were designed to fit a different idea of how players would interact with the game - and that same idea is also found in a lot of the really old Hero missions and arcs too - but the devs seem to be working to a plan of revamping the content 1-50, and either adding newer and more dynamic alternatives to the older content, or by totally removing it and replacing it with the more sophisticated modern content.
Older content has a lot of repetition, but newer content uses linked objectives to redcue the amount of less exciting missions into fewer misisons that are way more action packed.
A good example of this is in the Incarnate content - the Tin Mage Task Force only has 3 missions, and the Apex Task Force only has 2 - but there are so many changing objectives within the missions that you're not really aware of there being so few - instead of sending players to a new missions for each new objective like the older content does, the objectives are now all inside a handful of missions, which makes for a way more dynamic experience. -

By "taking care of", you mean "making worse", right?

Quote:This is a comicbook gameOriginally Posted by Samuel_Tow
Villains should not hail from Saturday morning cartoons where they cackle about how they will "Rul ze vorld!" and hissing like a vampire at a cross every time they accidentally do something even remotely good.
And even then, Villains can still do good things by helping out the Heroes on all the co-op content

Quote:Well, the rolling content revamp is slowly taking care of themOriginally Posted by Cass_
every single "go defeat x of x"
seriously those filler pieces of horriblness need to be dumped fast.

Quote:The 20-29 range didn't have enough of the newer style of content to fill it out - First Ward fills that gap for both factions, as well as for Praetorians.Originally Posted by Death_Badger
I also can't understand why they released more content for the 20-30 range which is already saturated, when the 30-40 range is still suffering from a lack of 'proper' content.
It's part of the larger revamp that's been going on for the past 5 Issues - Issues 17 through 21 have now added the newer style of content for both factions to be able to level up 1-29, with only a few gaps where older content is needed - but even those can be filled with the new sewer Trial or things like the Faultline arcs.
First Ward takes the content revemp past the halfway point on the path to 50. -

Manticore's actions judged by the setting's own internal logic display a wanton disregard for human life.

Quote:You mean this stable, bug-free head start for the VIPs?Originally Posted by goodnightmoon
oops they already did the new issue just previewed for VIP's...
The head start is the final phase of testing for I21 - and it has to be done on the live servers, to make sure everything is smoothed out for the freebies - so while it gives the VIPs early access to all the awesome stuff in I21, it also comes with some stability problems and bugs that will be gone by the time the freebies arrive. -

Yes... that is EXACTLY what it is.

I'm pretty sure we'll see more of them - they're fun characters, and they could be used is various ways in the future - although Flambeaux is already kinda developed further in some of the higher level Tip missions.
Twinshot's links with Maelstrom, as well a Proton's brain-washing by Mother Mayhem make them both suitable to be used in more higher level Praetorian content - and as Dillo has said that 18 of the Maaxigada'arzildilo worlds have already been destroyed by the Coming Storm, he could easily be used in futue Incarnate content - plus, Grym has an unusal background for CoH that coule be explored further.
