  1. I think alot of folks that do alot of AE farms right now out of boredom will start doing flashback missions set for 8 instead. Why deal with a full team when you can solo the same thing, or just do it with a friend or two? This will bring up the supply of just about everything on the market. Prices won't go down though cause at this point it is so easy to rack up millions and millions of inf...and only getting easier.

    My overall prediction is that prices stay over inflated as they are now, but supply goes up and there is less waiting. Basicly just a more active market.

    Not only does the newly updated Character Creator allow players to jump directly between Archetype, Powersets, Costumes and Character ID in any order without losing progress, but it also allows you to select your colors and theme for each individual power or apply it to the entire powerset. These themes will allow for color tinting of geometry and particle effects such as energy blast colors and force field colors. The primary and secondary colors of any power effect can be changed individually for each power in the set.

    Am I reading this right? Does this say we will be able to change an Ax/WP brute to a fire/fire corruptor at lvl 38 and not lose anything? If so, I'm not really sure what to think about that. so....am I reading that right?
  3. So I started playing a few weeks before CoV cam out, and way back in the day I was all about Justice. Somewhere along the road I got confused and moved to Freedom. With all the AE farming going on there I really can't stand that server at all anymore, and while I know there are power leveling nubs that don't know how to play on every server, I think Freedom is by far the worst. I was always happy on Justice, so Ive decided to come back. I'm transfering my 2 main characters, and most importantly I plan on rolling my first Claws Brute on Justice!

    In case you missed the issue 16 teaser announcment, Brute will finally be getting claws. I couldn't be happier. The reason for this post is becuase I'm looking for some other folks excited about claws for brutes that would like to team up when issue 16 goes live, and possibly form a new SG. I have a SG on Freedom called The Covenant of Blade and Blood for bladed charcaters only. I'd like to start over on Justice and what better time to start than with issue 16! Brutes get claws ans Stalkers get Broadsword.

    If your interested in joining such a SG post here or send me a PM. Even if your not into a SG, but would like to get an all claws team going when 16 hits....holler at me.

    Claws 4 Brutes

    Wow, you got Iggy? I can't believe that name was available. My Claws/WP brute will be Samson Sneed and he will pwn all. Can we has 16 noa?
  5. JDub

    Claws 4 Brutes

    Thank you!!!! Claws 4 brutes is finally coming and I couldn't be happier! Honestly nothing else in issue 16 has me very excited, but finally getting claws for brutes makes it all ok! Plus I'll be able to set missions for 8 when soloing....so I'm pretty stoked! Thank you Devs.

    I wonder what other animations MA will get with Power Customization? Maybe a Street Fighting type thing?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    This was my first thought and honestly if Super Strength OR Martial Arts get some natural punchy/street fighting options added...I might be even more excited about that then claws. Crazy I know! If you have the option to make 3 of Martial Arts attacks punches instead of kicks, I'll absolutely freak out until brutes get MA.
  6. Regen is to clicky and causes to much redraw. Katana/Willpower is the way to go.
  7. I like a follow up type power idea. The animation could be you quickly spinning both pistols on your finger then fire a shot from each.

    You know...some of this stuff
  8. JDub

    Claws 4 Brutes

    Oh....and we should get those giant claws some of the Freak Tank bosses have.
  9. So the thousands of subscribers that have been craving Dual Pistols for years now, should not get them cause you personally don't wan't them? You didn't even give a reason other than you don't want them. /fail.

    I just wanted to know if other players were hating the AE farm fiasco on Freedom as much as me and would love to transfer off the server if it were free.

    [/ QUOTE ]Kinda belongs in the official farming thread, if that's the case. Yeah, some things about Freedom are annoying, but hey, that's all there is to it.

    I know there's another game where you can get free transfers to a server which is... I think, 50% less populated than the one you left? But that gamae doesn't have cross-server economies, for example. I don't think it's a necessary thing to do here, given how easy it can be to level someone up and get through the game here. I mean, your mains, your billion-inf characters are probably worth the cash to transfer, but it's not like shifting the rest over is that big a deal. You know? Twenty bucks to move your two primaries to somewhere you'd like 'em better. You've probably paid more for meals.

    (This has been brought to you by the 'Talen providing useful advice to people who says he never posts anything useful' commission. I get bonus points if he has me on ignore. I get bonus bonus points if he has me on ignore and replies anyway.)

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I had you on ignore once upon a time Talen, so you should get like 1/2 a point. Anyways, I agree with you. I will likely transfer my top 2 characters to Justice and reroll the rest. At least it will give me something to do untill brutes get claws or Dual Pistols comes out!
  11. This kinda turned into me asking for free transfers, and that's not it at all. I simply asked for other players feedback to see if I was alone in my fustrations. It absolutely doesn't have anything to do with servers being greyed out double XP weekend. I play during the week mostly after work and have better things to do on my weekends, so honestly I don't care abotu double XP weekened. If I had a low level character that I cared about it would be different, but I don't.

    Truth be told I'll probably transfer my two main characters to Justice where I actually started off in the very beginning. I'll never spend $100 to transfer all my favorites over, but if it was free to do so I would in a second.

    So again, I'm not asking for a free transfer. I just wanted to know if other players were hating the AE farm fiasco on Freedom as much as me and would love to transfer off the server if it were free. No hidden agendas, no asking for hand outs. Just curious and thought I might possible find some folks that would want to transfer over to a new server together.

    Some of you act like it's a personal attack when people post about thier dissatisfaction with the game. As a paying member of this MMO society I thinK I have the right to post my unhappiness with where the game is going. Part of getting thru the bad times is being able to [censored] and moan with other people that are unhappy about the same things as you. Just because I or anyone else start threads that aren't positive, doesn't mean other players need to come in and defend the game and try to tell me why I'm wrong for being upset. I'm aloud to be upset. It doesn't mean I should find a different game or that I'm a whiner, I'm just unhappy with the direction of the game over the past year and looking for others that feel the same way so I can brood. Who else can I [censored] about CoX to? My wife and friends don't give a [censored] about this silly game. Of course I'm going to post my comnplaints here. If you feel the need to make me out to be the bad guy and explain why I'm wrong, then it's your right to waste your time. I don't know what else to say about it.

    I got a question. Don't bother telling me this is the wrong place cause I don't care. I have a question for players and I'm asking here.

    IF the devs offered free transfers to everyone on Freedom server for one week, would you transfer all your main characters to a different server? If so which one?

    I ask because I hate Freedom now that it has become a giant bucket of noob AE farm bile. It's always been a tad bit annoying, but I like the high population so I've stayed for 4 years...now I just want out but won't even consider paying $10 per characetr to find a new home. Just curious if anyone else would jump at this offer to make a new server your home for no charge.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    What makes you think the AE baby flood is in any way confined to Freedom?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I don't know actually. I just assumed. Am I wrong? Is the AE farmin g just as bad on other servers?
  13. [ QUOTE ]
    I play on Freedom and i don't run into the nonsense you keep spouting as gospel. You need to chill out and take a break if this game gets you so upset.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Of course you don't see it Clouded, because you are the type of person that is making me want to leave Freedom. I'm sure your right at home.
  14. Alt_AKA_Joe,

    [ QUOTE ]
    So J, if you are going to complain about Freedom, and I have a feeling this might be about your failed Hami run you tried to get going in two days,

    [/ QUOTE ]

    This has nothing to do with a Hami raid and it has been more than two days.

    [ QUOTE ]
    you must be hanging out in Atlas or Mercy quite a bit.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    No. Untill Dual Pistols or Claws 4 Brutes come out I have no reason to be in Mercy, and I don't play Blueside

    [ QUOTE ]
    If you want to try some TFs without AE babies there are sign up sheets every week for both blueside and redside.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    This is exactly why I'm ready to move. Freedom's only perk was that you could form an 8 man pug team on a moments notice and run any content you wanted to. If I now have to sign up and plan in advance to run a SF, I have no reason to be on Freedom over a nice server like Justice.

    [ QUOTE ]
    If not make a new toon on another server

    [/ QUOTE ]

    No. Don't tell me to ditch my mains that I've played for years and sunk billions of Inf into, and play new ones. That is just ignorant.

    [ QUOTE ]
    and quit complaining.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    No. I've played this game for long enough that I've earned the right to [censored] if I want to. If you don't like it use ignore. I don't like the direction this game is moving and I'll be damned if I keep my mouth shut about it.

    [ QUOTE ]
    Or better yet, try to educate some of the newer players about the rest of the game outside of AE.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    The people I run into lately couldn't give two [censored] about anything but farming AE. I sure as hell am not going to waste my time with them. I play this game to relax and blow off some steam, not to try and educate morons on something they have no interest in.

    New Travel pool

    [ QUOTE ]
    Since only one of the travel pools has a decent Tier 4, and the rest are just situationally useful...I don't see the problem with that.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Again, I'd agree, but that is opening a whole different can of worms. I just want a 5th travel pool.
  16. I got a question. Don't bother telling me this is the wrong place cause I don't care. I have a question for players and I'm asking here.

  17. If DP is a very fast set like the "claws of ranged sets", then I think all the redraw from heals, buffs, debuffs, ect, will make it kinda suck on a corruptor. I'm planning on roling an ebil DP/Devices Blaster on day one.....unless Blasters get a Martial arts/Street Fighter secondary.

    How about Rikti zombies?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    How about zombies have a bite attack that has a chance to turn you into a zombie! Zombie attacks would mean any zone could become a brief 10 minute cluster [censored] of PvP chaos. Also, your charcter would need to do the zombie walk while a zombie. THAT would be interesting. :P

    New Travel pool

    Thanks.

    I have a Widow with no travel power. I have two run enh in Mental Training, two run enh in swift, two jump enhancments in Hurdle, two jump enh in Combat jumping, and one of each in Sprint. It wastes 5 slots, but I geta round very well and use the temp jet pack occaisionaly when needed, but that is what gave me the idea. Seems like there should be an easier way to have this as a travel option.
  21. Depends what you mean by better. If you mean fresh ideas and new mechanics that make it fun, than I agree. If you mean it should be more powerful than old sets, I couldn't disagree more.
  22. JDub

    New Travel pool

    To get your running speed and jumping height high enough to get around quickly and easily, you have to take combat jumping, swift, hurdle, and slot all them heavily. You also have to put a couple slots in Sprint. It's not that you bork your build by taking to many powers, but by wasting 6-7 slots....which is huge.

    My idea would allow you to get there by taking just two powers from the travel pool, and no slotting.
  23. Like Inquizitor, I enjoy the random invasions spawned by players doing raids in RWZ, but these server wide events are just horrible. On paper they sound great, but the server lag and crashing ruin the experience.

    New Travel pool

    I'd agree having Assemble Team as an alternate choice would be best, but then people would whine that all the travel pools should get alternate options for the tier four power.....can't win.
