While we wait for banners to arise we will Trick or Treat through to be announced zones waiting for the banners to arise. When they arise, we will strike! No zombie apocalypse will stand in our way either!

And why not sweeten the fun as well. In either faction, hero or villain we will be visited by the ghost of Joule’s Grace (Hero) and Arsenic’s Rage (Villain) for Spooky humor and riddles. Whoever gets the right answer gets 2 Mil!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Happy Birthday wifey!

I'm sorry Michelle, but that's copyright infringement. I'm going to ask you to come with me. Marvel wants to see you in their office...

Hi Everyone!

I would like to introduce myself as one of the Protector PERC Reps! If you need any help setting up an event, getting organized, or just need information. Please don't hesitate to contact me in-game @Healing Phoenix

Here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to run a string of strikeforces with my supergroup over the weekend and log the time it took us to complete them. As well as our skill level we have with that strikeforce. 1 = Haven't done it in awhile and 5 = We should be the contact to give it out. I will provide team make up for everyone to see. With the times I'll also add the "suggested payout" that we've been given from the testserver.
On the blueside, I'll have my close friend do the same thing. Then we can ACTUALLY compare to what's fair and what's not. - Unless someone would like to volenteer their team.
Another thing I did want to bring up was that, villains can run all their strikeforces in one day. (Please don't argue with me on this, I've done it - It took 3/4 of a day) Heroes can not, therefore they wouldn't even have to do all of theirs before they could go back and start over without the nerf affecting them. - Tell me how is that fair?!

Poster: Healing_Phoenix
Q: Why is it that the Villain side SF payout is way less than Hero side TF payout? I feel that as a villain I'm being punished.

A: On average Villain Strike Forces take significantly less time to complete when compared to Hero Task Forces. Since time is the major factor when determining the number of Merits a task gives upon completion Villains on average receive less Merits per task, but roughly the same Merits per hour.


[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, that can be correct... if the team was not skilled with doing said taskforce. I can see your point being applied, BUT since my supergroup and myself are skilled in doing taskforces it doesn't take us long. Not only myself and my sg, but others... More so on the hero side, who can do taskforces quickly then what you believe they could be run in.
I've done the Synapse TF in an hour, I've also ran the Sharkhead SF in an hour. My hero is going to get MORE merits than my villain who ran a TF equally in level in the same amount of time. - Again how is this fair? Villains are being punished.
I don't believe heroes and villains are going to get the same amount of merits/hour considering TFs are based on skill. Reward me for skill, not time.

Status Reports
Star Strider Force
Name: Vodou Priest
Global Contact: @Healing Phoenix
Reporting on Assignment: Protection of Financial Systems. Vaults, Markets, and stores
Level of Alien Threat [High][Medium][low]: [High]

Report Details:
I spend most of my time at the Cap Au Diable’s branch Black Market, and it almost seems to me most of the Rikti attacks are targeted to that area, including the University and Vault Reserve nearby. The members of the Vanguard, who are located near the general area of attack, are being no help to the situation at all.
It also seems that the Rikti are interested in what we have, attempts have been made to take what’s been placed on the Black Market, and in our vaults for their own use. They don’t seem to keen on taking much of the technical items, it’s magic they want. The Black Market Shades have informed me they’ve seen strange individuals come to the market and checking the quantities of items way before the recent Rikti attacks.



Analysis of Current Situation:
From my research of all items magical, their main target of items are: Essence of the Furies, Prophecy, Pangean Soil, and Fortunes.
Since it is well known that Statesmen and Lord Recluse both received their powers from the Well of the Furies, they wish to analyze the essence to somehow counter-balance their powers. (As well as using ancient prophecies in their favor, combined with the luck of fortunes they might achieve that!) It is unclear why they need the Pangean Soil, but I’ll look more into detail about that as soon as I get back into my lair. It may also be an attempt to strengthen their Mages and Priests that I have seen in the Warzone. Or to increase the powers of a Rikti Lord we know nothing about.



Suggestion of Action:
I talked with the Black Market Shades and they’ve told me they are limited as well as unlimited with the powers they possess. They can lock down the trucks they use to keep all things protected, but that will not do any good since we need the Black Market. The Shades also told me they have no way of defending the items, since they only have defensive abilities.
Although of my own magical ways, I believe we can use powerful wards to repel the Rikti away from the Black Market, or even make such places (Reserve, Vaults, and Black Markets) unseen to them. I have already taken the liberty into infusing my vault within my lair with an unbreakable mystic code. There is no way for them to get inside. I have talked with a dear friend of mine who is working on a special upgrade to the technological vaults to make them impenetrable.

I know I'm probably going to regret this...

I never posted on the forums so forgive me for my lack of knowledge. Although I'm very pleased with the new patron and epic power pools, finally some balance. On the hand as far as the merit system goes this is a joke. On an overall basis the heros get a substantial amount of merits compare 2 the villians, so where is the balance in that. I guess the point was to make the villians happy in 1 aspect but to favor the heros in the merits since now there is a balance in patron and epics. Although this game was mostly design for heros to be victorious in which they always will be, but I feel if ur going to balance off 1 aspect of the game and hinder another then what do you accomplish in that. I apoligize if I sound rude, my intentions are just pointing out some facts.

Villans have shorter faster arcs, but more of them.

Merits rewards are based on datamined completion times (1 merit = 5 mins)

Ergo villans have smaller but quicker to pick up rewards, but more of them.

It should be even on a time spent basis.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm sorry, I don't understand this.

Villains do not have more Strike forces than Heroes do. We have less, even including Ouroburos and the Co-Ops.

I don't believe the Merit System has been FULLY explained. If I were to do the Sharkhead SF, would I get the 25 Merits? Regardless of the time I did it in? Or would I have to do it in.... carry the three, sqaure the 4..... 2 hours? To get the 25 merits? If I did it in 1 hour, do I only get 14 Merits?

And villains still do not have more Strike forces than Heroes. I don't understand why you said that. Heroes have twice as much as villains.

[/ QUOTE ]

I said ARCS and I mean ARCS.

as off I12
Blueside has 63 arcs and 17 badge missions (oroborous count from the Wiki INCLUDES Khedlian only arcs)
Redside has 106 arcs and 16 badges (EXCLUDING the VEAT arcs which Im not sure of their status)

Arcs give merits.

[/ QUOTE ]

And I'm talking about Strike forces... And I mean strike forces. LotusM did not indicate rather or not he was referring to arcs or strike forces but with the compiled list that you had posted on the base merit payout with strikeforces, I'm guessing that's what he meant.
The risk vs reward for the merit system is a joke, there should be no base payout, but a time vs risk vs reward payout. Each TF should have the "Devs time limit" that they intended when they launched the content.
Scenario: (None what I'm about to say is game fact, just implying)
Devs state that the Cap can be completed in 1.5 hours (Therefore it can't be camped for the merit/minute ratio. So afterwards it wouldn't be 1 merit/5 minutes but a higher ratio 1 merit/15 merits and so forth) on any team. Team X decided to do the Cap SF, and complete it in 1 hour. They receive 12 Merits for the time they completed it. Also, Team X decided to put challenges on the team.
Enemies Buffed, 5 Merits added to payout.
Teammates debuffed, 5 merits added to payout.
No temp powers, 10 merits added to payout.
Only AT powers, 10 merits added to payout.
Therefore their real payout is 52 merits for the work they did. Instead of the 10 merits.

But to give a base payout is ridiculous just because Team J, K, and L run Task force 2 in ? time limit. If it is that easy to farm a certain TF, make it harder.

I noticed that when the sun starts to set I turn a bad shade of green.

This happens to me... but I turn into a shade of orange... lol
this is on both games Live and Test

I believe, if they are pernament, then they need to tell us
about the powers BEFORE we even get there. This way we
can atleast make our power choices, since there are some
who plan their character out at level 1-50.

say I wanted to teleport...but I wanted a more fancy bind to it where I teleport where I am facing or where my camera angle is at...how would I do that?
