JDub

I'm actually searching for a new server. If Going Rogue is as cool as I hope, I'll be back playing quite a bit again and need a new home to enjoy Dual Pistols on.

Brutes are better. Period.

Everyone pays the same $15 a month and has the right to play however they want to. The only thing that bothers me about farming taking over this game is that they refuse to use the AE channel, and instead spam broadcast, they have lvl 50 VEATs and have no idea how to play, and it makes it hard to easily form full teams to do TFs/SFs, Trials, story arcs, and other Dev created content.

I've also noticed that in most cases it takes a certain breed of player to sit and farm the same thing for hours everyday. This type of person isn't typically the type of person I enjoy interacting with.

If everyone can't tell, this should all be taken in good fun. Although I was really confused and disappointed in my newest aquarium acquisition at first, it's not like I'm openly weeping in the middle of some interstate waiting for the next semi of sweet release.

Just read it, picture it, be amused, post a giggle if ya want, and move on.

I enjoyed your post. Got a good chuckle.

The Ae is working as intended? no problems? What a load of crap. A vast majority, almost all of AE usage is for farming. Farming is an exploit. Not working as intended.

If the Devs removed 50% xp from all AE missions that aren't Devs Choice or HoF, it would completely cut out the farming. The only reason to play the AE would be for it's actual purpose...which is to make and play quality story arcs and missions with creative and thought out stories, charcters, and dialogue. If everyone quit playing AE because they could only use it as intended instead of farming the [censored] out of it, then that just makes the AE a complete failure. Not my problem.

If they leave the AE in game as is, IMO they are giving the green light to farmers and PLers. They are basicly saying let this game turn into a cesspool of farmers that will burn out and die, because we don't want our precious AE to be deemed a failure.

Bottom line is this game has changed for the worse since AE. Don't waste your breath telling me otherwise. I've been here for over four years and I know. This game makes be sick right now. If they want games like CO to crush CoX, they are setting up the perfect storm by letting this [censored] happen. Mark my words, stop the excessive farming, especially in Cap and Atlas, or this game will not survive. People that farm all day everyday burn out. They get tired of their repetative existance and they quit, they move on. If this game chases away it's true fan base for a bunch of noob farmers, they might make a killing right now, but will be dead a year from now.

All this from a person that stands in CAP on his 50 Brute Jacobi Law spamming broadcast for his farm. Brilliant!

The Devs make all kinds of decisions for this game that you might not agree with or like, but it's thier game and Devs Choice is just another aspect of that. There is also the Hall of Fame which is purely based on player feedback.

Ok....if we don't get claws for brutes in issue 16, I'm gonna take a break till GR. I'm really hoping we get that massive proliferation to go along with power customization. Otherwise I'll probably be back after football season....










If CO sucks

Sad to hear EM sucks now. I was considering rolling one now that my pom poms don't have to be pink.

Only Devs choice and Hall of Fame missions should give full XP. The rest should give 50% XP and 50% Inf.

Lol...that would be a pretty could build, if it were issue 7.

My team all got the Ghost widow temp power which is resistance to endurance drain. We all got that one temp power but nothing else so no way to debuff the AV.

Also, endless ambushes came for the first 30 minutes we fought the AV. We thought they were endless but after 30-35 minutes they finally stopped coming. Not sure if that is suppose to be that way either.

I always thought the ITF was easy, even in beta. This SF is not easy as is. It's not even that it's hard. Once you IO out a Brute, nothing is very challenging anymore, so I welcome an actual challenge. The problem is it isn't difficult, it's just tedious and very long. Button mashing my attack chain over and over for almost 45 minutes isn't fun IMO.

Just disappointed. The TF/SF is really the only thing issue 15 has besides AE tweaks and fixes. So for someone like myslef who doesn't care for AE and does alot of TF/SF, it a bit aggrevating to find out I hate the new SF.

Oh....and it was almost as lagtastic as the 3rd ITF mission. Good stuff.

If saying it is not as bad as some other horrible TF that is 4-5 years old, makes you guys feel better than good for you. I actually expect new content to be fun and innovative. Silly me.

The Riechman SF is the longest, most difficult and yet extremely boring TF/SF I have ever ran. Took a preety good pug team 2 1/2 hours. The last mission took over an hour. I hope the big boss is bugged, cause that [censored] was crazy hard for 20 merits. Leading multiple NPCs thru a huge cave map is just annoying and the AV was like soloing a Pylon. Don't plan on EVER running this SF again.

Happy Anniversary! pffft...what a joke of an issue.

I did see you! And it was so nice to see everyone using the new AE channel instead of spamming the broadcast......not.

Got home early from work today and saw 15 went live, so I thought I'd jump on and run the new SF before the wife and kid got home. I've been trying for 25 minutes now and can't find a single person that will try a brand new SF....yet the AE is crammed full of farmers as usual. Yep, everything is perfectly normal.

I'm not sure what the Devs expected to happen when they gave us a building that you never have to leave, that auto SKs you, and allows you to fill missions with all bosses, and get normal XP and Inf. To top it off they put it in starting zones so you only have to run about 100 yrds to get PL'd to 50. They created a gaint farm machine and now they don't seem to care.

Some say AE has ruined the game, other say the game hasn't changed. Only time will tell.

new ATs would be an interesting frontier for the microtransaction system to explore.

[/ QUOTE ] That would actually be really quite cool, but it would cause one holy hell of a ruckus from the playerbase.

I'm not so sure. I think alot of people are bothered that they have to spend an xtra $10 to get very minor things like a costume piece. If we were actually offered something cool like a power set or new AT for $10....I don't think that many people would complain.

I'm just waiting to see if they take the most requested power set ever, Dual Pistols, and put it in Going Rogue to force folks to buy it.

I'll be buying GR anyways, but I'm curious to see if they offer Dual Pistols and Demon Summoning as a seperate purchasable package, or if buying GR for $50 will be the only way to get the set.

I shoulda mentioned I am on Freedom also, but ya RWZ like most other zones is dead and I agree it needs to chamge. If it became the new high lvl AE hub, I'm sure it would be easier to form Lady Grey TF teams and pylon raids as well.

Well, other than this thread...I'm not sure how I spread the word and try to get folks to start gathering in RWZ. Unless you are dual boxing to PL a lowbie alt, or are uinder lvl 35, I can't imagine why anyone would want to stay in Atlas or Cap over RWZ. Maybe I need to throw an AE event in RWZ or something.

Even for folks that just PL from 1-50 using the AE only, both Atlas and Cap both conveniently have Vangaurd buildings to enter the RWZ.

Well it takes more than one guy to make it a movement :P but I for one am going to always try RWZ first when I log in. I started asking folks in game, and to my surprise the vast mojaority of folks I talked to didn't even know there was an AE in RWZ. Just need to spread the word I suppose. If people start going there it will catch on rather quickly.

I can't understand why the AE building in thr RWZ goes virtually unused, but let's change that. Seeing as it is the only CoOp AE building in the game, I vote that everyone interested in doing AE stuff that is lvl 35+, goto RWZ from now on. Doesn't matter if you farm or wanna run real arcs, you'll have twice as many folks to form a team with VEATs and only 35+ people so no useless lowbies begging to door sit. Just a thought.

What's funny to me is that the AE in the RWZ is alwasy dead. I thought it would be the hub of everything under the sun when AE hit cause it allows CoOp teams.....but nothin.
