  1. I didn't specify the path I just used those as examples.

    If the player base doesn't want the story based levelling concept as it was intended then all thats left is a power levelling service. Any focus after that concession is pretty much pointless.
  2. When it was launched I remember seeing some. They had a nice ad campaign at launch from what i remember.
  3. Nothing for anything volume or SFX in optionlist.
  4. The concept isn't what its being used for though. That is the major issue. They designed a system with idealistic expectations and now its being used in ways they did not wish it to be.

    Whether its nerfing rewards, or exp in some way, intended use needs to be enforced if they want it to succeed the way they envision it.
  5. ...and they just keep coming back...

    You're worse than cockroaches.
  6. I'm not missing anything. Thanks for attempting to tell me what I perceive.

    I know its about new players... the ones getting sucked into ae couldn't care less. a few may but the majority are just the PL meh nao types. I see it every day with many trial toons begging my main to level them.
  7. A lot of that makes sense for people who do play normal content. However, the majority of people getting sucked into AE don't care about how the PVE environment is adjusted to try and get them into more of the game. They just want their levels as fast as they can.
  8. Nemesis finds a way to suck the planet through an artificial wormhole into a black hole. At the cusp of the Event Horizon, both heroes and villains decide to attempt some endeavor to retrieve the doomed civilization...

    I thing it would be awesome to be sitting there staring into what amounts as certain demise, to actually witness the awesomeness of light and everything else swirling into this foreboding blackness.

    Of course nemesis has a plan for afterwards when everyone is gone and he can go back in time and repopulate a new planet with souls from the past. Although nearly everyone perished a few managed to get out using forcefields and teleport. Now they get to attempt time travel to thwart Nemesis.

    I think the whole scenario should play through both the introduction of utter destruction as well as the eventual salvation and reparation.
  9. I see what you did there.
  10. It still wouldn't curb whats happening. Theyd just do more of it to compensate.
  11. Nope, working as intended.
  12. One of the features they promoted in the AE was levelling from 1-50 just in AE conent. They definitely delivered on that. I really don't think any curbing of low levels using the AE is going to happen.
  13. You can also save to specific files. If you wanted to load diff ui sizes where you have the UI positioned differently from one moment to the next you can use:
    /wdwsavefile FILENAME.txt
    /wdwloadfile FILENAME.txt
  14. <qr>
    As I get higher in levels I see some interesting things. PPD Bot models, Zenith Bot Models. Some of the Nemesis costumes and content designs.

    Makes me wish that we could choose a design set for henchmen as an MM. However with that comes more complications. Coding the abilities to match diff models would definitely be a lot more work.
  15. Where one of you post the rest flock... flame sheep.

    You and your cronies remind me of the type of people who are always trying to post on WoW forums and the like.

    I don't know what happend to support but I was REALLY POed the other day.
    I made an arc... No errors... We started playing it and a mission would not complete.
    It was defeat all, and we did. DEFEAT ALL. Anyways.
    I contacted support. No GM showed up in game but I got an email. which is normal.

    In the email it explained to me how to quit the mission.

    I SAID I DONT WANT TO QUIT I WANT YOU TO SHOW UP AND GET THE LAST FOE ONTO THE MAP.

    I got an immediate responce telling me I am wrong.

    and nothing else was said.

    The map was the university basement one.. and it was defeat all... mission would not complete... I could see a foes foot sticking out of the damn wall.

    I explained it fully in the original petition.
    I was like? WTF?

    Here is how you quit...

    In the past when doing normal content a GM shows up in game and just puts the foe on the map...

    This so reminds me of logitech support. A while back I had a question about the logitech gamepad and how none of the gamepad functions counted as active windows functions so the screensaver would pop on in the middle of playing a game. I tried all the power settings posted screenshots, gave detailed examples. It took nearly 30 mins to compile the ticket in a tidy, concise, clearly stated manner. The response I got:

    Please make sure you are using your logitech product for gaming only.
  17. That is the only feature of Vista that i wish I had on XP.

    The application sound channels are beyond awesome IMO.
  18. I don't think there is a keybind for volume in the actual interface and I don't see a command for it.

    There are some keystroke emulators that do have innate support for windows functions such as volume control. The one I use is the Fang Gamepad
  19. Ahh the the pointless little flame clique has returned.... how quaint.
  20. well my build atm is FF/MM, Flight with superiority, fly and gfly. Presence with both taunts. Health and Stamina. I picked up Mace Mastery for the holds but my bots still knockback even when something is held so it isn't working as I hoped. I thought the presence powers would help for aoe control but if some tactics for damage and defense would be more beneficial as an MM I'll try either method.

    I hate the way their characters look so much, though. Really hate how they're shaded, dont know if I could tolerate that.

    My first thought when I saw the videos and screenies of the game... WoW on acid. Doesn't appeal to me one bit.

    Two observations from checking out the other layouts so far:

    1) Some of you have very crowded or even blocked up lower portions of your screen. Do you play zoomed out or something? I try to keep gaps there, especially, if I have side-by-side Team and large (Mastermind or Illusion) Pet windows. This is so I can drop patch type powers (Caltrops, Freezing Rain, Tar Patch, etc) on the ground at my feet while in a rush without having to fumble around with my view.

    2) Not many of you have 'Show Player Health Bars = Always'. I feel so handicapped without it.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    1) What you see on mine is what you get. No zoomed out, no first person.

    2) If I'm not on a team with you, I don't care about your health bars. If I am on a team with you, I can look at the team window. I do have the bars show up when I select you, though.

    I'm always going around mercy helping lowbies who are destined for a fall. Either by pulling aggro and giving them a breather or bubbling them. Keeping HP bars up is the easiest way to spot them.
  23. I was thinking of attempting some leadership at my lvl 50 respec on my MM. Since I do solo I'm thinking after these posts its not something I should consider and maybe go with one or both of the incapacitate skills on the presence tree.

    Post your GUI

    I'm one of those cluttered windowed mode people you speak of. I like my desktop at 1280x1024, and I like my UI at 1600x1200, however only a few games allow you to nest 1600x1200 on a smaller desktop. There is UI scaling to simulate it but I'm comfortable with the ui scale as I have it.

    If you can pull it off more power to you. I would go mad squinting to read anything though lol.
