Is Tyrant no longer in that mission then?
If true that's naff.
I still kicked his butt though

Ah, but remember, that was pre-retcon Tyrant from back when Praetoria was still the throwaway evil goatee-wearing mirror universe rather than the increasingly complex mess that is has become today.
Still not convinced I didn't interrupt something kinky between the two of them

Maybe put a system into place where, if your arc hits the one star mark after five votes, it gets booted out of the system.
I agree with your general principle though

Tried doing this last night but failed entirely due to PUG teams running through the door.
Me: Do you want to go for the badge?
Team: Yes
Me: Want to fight the extra boss?
Team: Yes
Me: Don't go into the build, okay?
Team: Yes
*team enters building*
Me: You are just replying "Yes" to everything I type aren't you?
Team: Yes

Thankyouverymuch

I read in a couple of threads the suggestion that there was a command to list your purchases but I couldn't actually find it.
Does it actually exist or does my search-fu suck?
And if my search-fu does suck, could someone tell me what the command is?

Personally I preferred the Graves arc. I know some felt like his arc treated you like an idiot, which Graves did. But I was always laughing because I knew they were all underestimating me. If I could have been given the option of kicking [spolier]'s butt at the end it would have been perfect imo.
As for Twinshot's arc. I've run it once but won't be running it again. The character development was good but I found too many of the game mechanics drown right annoying and at worst left me shouting at the game! -

depending on the direction they go...Cole should not be soloable if the Well is giving him more power than we get.
Not sure what they were doing to be honest and before I started the rescue I did ask if they wanted to be left alone.

Quote:I don't think I am the one being disingenuous here. Its fine for you to want to be a completist. But expecting to enjoying "everything" is an untenable position. As is acting as though you "need" this stuff to participate.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
That's a question so loaded as to be disingenuous. No, I shouldn't. There's more game to play, more "stuff" to earn, more ways to progress my character. But only if I want to play Trials. Let me put it this way: Imagine that after level 30, you could no longer team with anyone. The Team function simply didn't work past level 30 and you had to solo all the way to 50. Now suppose you just hit 30 with your team-built Defender and realised this. You have a choice - respec into a solo build or start over. But you want to play on teams, that's what's fun in the game for you.
You complain that you can't team and I tell you "Well, you reached level 30 and you don't want to solo. Isn't it time you started over?" No! Of course not. It's not time you started over because there's more game for you to play, it's simply restricted behind a playstyle which you don't enjoy and wasn't required up to 30 anyway.
I want to take part in the Praetorian war, I want to pursue the Well of the Furies storyline, I want to find out the truth behind Mender Silos, the Coming Storm, Ramiel, Prometheus and so forth. I want my Sword/Fire Scrapper to have that huge kill-all fire AoE, I want my Bots Mastermind to have that powerful team buff barrier. There's stuff in there that I want, I just don't fancy doing 24-man Trial after 24-man Trial. In fact, I wouldn't fancy it even if it required a whole stream of nothing but two-man simu-click missions, which is essentially what this boils down to.
Let Raids exist, it's clear they're not going anywhere. But as long as more story content and more character progression exists, I want an alternate path. -
Quote:To be honest I am confused with your post. If Incarnate trials is all you have left to do but you don't want to run Incarnate trials then shouldn't you just create a new character?Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
Would that I could, but there is no "other stuff" which offers progression towards the Incarnate system. The "other stuff" I could do is essentially passing time
...snip...
Here's the thing - I DO NOT WANT to run Trials. Ever.

j/k
Its hardly a new trend though is it?

I played the Halloween trial last night with a friend who has only recently started playing CoX and it occurs to me that it IS something of an Incarnate training mission in that it uses the LFG system and has an AV that has avoidance-mechanic attacks.
I expect mechanics currently only used in the Incarnate content will eventually make its way into the rest of the game. So that it won't be such a surprise to players on their first run.
It was also very funny to hear my friend howling in Skype and to watch him running blindly through the graveyard after the Abomination stamped on his scrapper

I hope they catch the killer.

Quote:Agreed.Originally Posted by Thirty-Seven
I have absolutely no doubt that the Devs wanted the Trials to be fun AND addictive in terms of loot gathering and power progression. I am confident that the Dev team has not sunk so low as to not care about those things as you seem to imply.
I do find BAF fun. I find it fun because its a quick morsel that fits well into my often short gaming schedule. It has a simple story that hangs together logically enough. The AV mechanics can be a little annoying but don't push into the "needless frustration" area. Plus it comes with a half-time-change-of-pace section that allows different ATs to shine.
But no doubt if I farmed it the way some feel is "required" I would probably hate it. -

If you get it right, you won't HAVE to keep fiddling with the drop rates, cool-down timers, and introducing new currencies to keep people's interests. People will do the content because they WANT to do the content. Right now, a lot of people simply don't WANT to do the content and that's not something that putting a new stereo up on the counter and tagging '8000 Tickets' on it is going to fix.

Quote:That was my first thought when I heard it was him, "What? I've kicked his butt hundreds of times!"Originally Posted by Dr_MechanoEU
I mean the new AV in the TPN trial is freaking Maelstrom...a guy who we've been battering around since level 20! Surely you could have atleast picked Chimera or Black Swan.
Is he supposed to be "Well-Powered" or something? -
Quote:But again that pay-off should be "playing the game" not "playing the game to some arbitrary standard decided by me"Originally Posted by NT_Flamer
If this were just a box game with free multiplayer, I'd have no problem with relaxing and not worrying about people not paying attnetion to everything that needs to be done, but because I pay (and so do all the other Incarnate Content players) 15 bucks a month, I expect a certain amount of payoff for my investment.

If you PL or Farm your way to 50 what do you do then? Since this is a game were there is less to do at 50 than on the journey there, what do you do? All you have left is the Incarnate stuff which you have to be VIP to do. So perhaps the DEVs should encourage the Farmers-that-have-to-be-50 and the collectors-that-have-to-have-everything since they could be an easy source of revenue?
Label the Farms, Dev Choice the best ones, delete the rest(we only need 4 right?) and keep churning out new content and new fluff to buy. Everyone happy.
To be honest I hate farms and I think they are a pox that damages the game but at least half the damage is caused by the Devs attempts to curb it, which almost always seem to result in more grinding for me. Why is that? -

I also would like the mission specifice temp powers not to be bundled in with the 50 other temp powers I carry around. They should have their own list AT THE TOP. -
