DC previews for Nov 28th 2007 Part 1
This week's counting down preview..
heh.. for some reason I wish I was there to point and Nelson laugh at Jimmy Olsen
[/ QUOTE ]
The preview for GLC upsets me, because we already know Prime lives and goes on to destroy multiple Earths in Countdown. And of course we already know that Kyle makes it out alive, but dammit. -
Complete Marvel in February Solicits with fallout from Messiah Complex, Conclusion to Astonishing X-Men, New Warriors, Ms. Marvel as Binary and more.

Marvel has a huge week for me next week.
Can't believe The Loners has not wrapped yet. What happened to Marvel July - October, it's like half their titles were delayed. -

Countdown Arena #1, Green Arrow and Black Canary #2, All Star Superman #9,
for some reason I am really looking forward to Countdown Arena#1
[/ QUOTE ]
Only in passing. Honestly if it was not for the fact that a buddy has a ridiculous amount of disposable cash and just buys garbage like Countdown, I would not be reading them at all. -

I am really excited for this, but really I just want to know if I can change the Mace into a Bat and can finally make my Bionic Six Sport One character I have always wanted. -
Sad to see it go, becuase seeing anything creative end is sad. But I thought the comic was terrible, focused on characters I could give two cents about after they were introduced as jerks, and liked the older Blue King comics more. Long live War Witch.

Damn. I could not take place the last time, and it looks like my play time this weekend will be limited to an hour here and there.
/em Thinks....or I could just pull an all nighter Saturday night.... -

Every war zone has the mercernaries. But that word has a lot of negative conotations. Governments hire us as there shadow army. Minimal culpability, full effectiveness. Why train amatuers when you can hire pros?
Req: Mature players, Corruptors and Master Minds welcome. Must have /Traps secondary. Soldiers, Robots, Punks, Ninjas all work. If you are a Corr, we prefer Assualt Rifle primary, but not mandatory. We are a great group of friends who have been playing together for 2+ years now. Interested in having some fun with 8 man teams with 8 FFG's, roll an alt and join us. -
What about the fact that Best Buy is not carrying the game on there website? Do we have to buy the game in store?
-
I love it!

Best wishes to your Brother and your family.
The only thing most of us have been worried about, besides all the bugs, non bugs, we don't know if its a bug, is it working as intended, is the complete lack of any communication with us for over a week. This is not directed at you, just Devs in general. We have been doing alot of testing, and just want some feedback. -
I am curious as to how you have been doing with your build and play. Would like to run with you in game if you ever have a chance. I enjoy ballsy play and people looking to enjoy the game in unique ways.

That is the worst, I truly believe we are just errand boys and girls to them at that point.

What is your personal issue with Erratic? Let it go. Sometimes he comes off as arrogant but he is still bringing something to this conversation. But on topic, I have an Ice/Ice blaster that I can solo quite well. I cannot take on groups of +1 mobs(in large amounts) but I knew that before the patch. I work on mobs -1 level of semi large size or -2 of huge quantities. I open up with aim, frost breath, and ice storm to get the mobs to scatter off me, and then pick them apart with ice blast and ice bolt. I dont have to many problems, but then again I play realistically. I can run my missions, and in a group, I become UBER. Tanker that draws aggro, spines scrappers, rad defenders, storm defenders, kin defenders, controllers of all types, they make my blaster more of a bad a$$. But I like to play in teams.

Green_Jackal,
I get your point. No I don't think that Statesman intended people to be able to level in such a way. But he has also said that if that is the what you want to do, bravo. I understand the AFK thing. There is a radius for the SK to work. You have to be within that radius to be at a level to recieve XP from your mentor. They way that people get around this is for there to be a 3rd person who can SK, and then that person and the lowbie are both AFK, doing whatever. It is boring in practice, but the next time that person plays they are many levels higher and have access to many new powers. There addressing this by making the mobs harder, which will make it harder for the ONE person to be power leveling for the other 2. But it will not be impossible to continue this practice. You make a great point and your thoughts are very well thought out. Unfortunately you are being lumped in with Alderian.....
Alderian,
I have stopped reading your posts all together. You add nothing to this discussion and you continue to ignore obvious answers to your questions. You incite others to anger and are trolling. Your questions have all been answered and it seems rather odd that you only respond to those that are being negative towards you. -

See, again, this is where you and many are misinterpreting Statesman's post. The game is horrendously easy post 32/33 for most builds. Sure, it takes longer to level, but that is just the requirement of more minions (which are too easy to take out). His post says that they are looking to increase the difficulty in the late game, which will have an impact on powerleveling.
As I said before, I am not sure the previous idea of increased HP and XP will accomplish that. I don't think you can stop powerleveling as long as you retain the SK system.
Again, for those who are having a problem reading:
The game has issues post 30.
They want to fix this.
This fix may curb powerleveling as a side effect.
Please, understand which is the cause and which is the effect.

Then our disagreement is simply in how we interpret Statesman. From reading anything and everything i have been able to find that are from the horse's mouth, I feel like I undrestand his intention one way, while you read it from another angle and feel like he is fairily apathetic about the issue of AFK leveling.
We read him differently.
The way I read him, based not only from the quotes pasted here in this thread but from all the interviews and Q&A sessions and his posts on this forum, I see Jack as a game designer who would like to see his players enjoy the process of advancement. Like I said, that's just how I read him. *shrug*
[/ QUOTE ]
Your right that States would like the people who play the game to enjoy it. He has said that he does not think PL'ing is FUN, but more power to you. And the interpretation of the high end game being too easy and him trying to do something about it, is not interpretation. He has said those words. It seems that the rational folks on both sides of this argument(and we know who we are
) have agreed to disagree about the right or wrong of this. BUT, for the time being, it IS part of the game mechanic, and if anyone wants changes made, we will have to start a new post. BTW, I am on the pro PL side, because I like the SK system, and as a result my friends will level faster, but I am against people joining the game and getting there level 2 spandex behind over to a high level zone and then begging, spamming, harrassing players to help them level. Something should be done to corral that, and THAT does have an affect on others in the game.

Ankh_Agressor,
This is my first post here or anywhere of its kind. I know nothing about terms like "troll" as they are too boring for me to think about. Wanting a public reaction to something that you think is wrong is not wrong!
Hey lets have a thread where we make up silly terms for words that already exist.
[/ QUOTE ]
Adlerian,
This is my first message board to partake in, and I have many times in this thread explained what it means to "troll" a message board. I have also explained how power leveling is not cheating. For those that do not agree with other people chillin at the train and getting levels from willing friends that are trying to help them out, then make some suggestions on how to get the system changed. No one who power levels is using some outside program or a bug in the game to get ahead of anyone else. There is no cheat involved. Some people thought outside the box and learned how to maximize there time in game. If you do not like it, or are morally and ethically opposed to it, then you can changed the slant of this thread and even petition the devs to hear you out.
