    The logic and argument being made is that the devs now need to add a ton of low level content to replace the original content they ripped out of the beginning levels of the game.

    Pre I21 starting contacts

    Azuria
    Antonio Nash
    Susan Davies
    Jonathan St. John Smythe
    Rick Davies
    Gregor Richardson
    Prince Kiros Nandelu
    Derek Amberson
    Rebecca Brinell
    Caitlin Murray-Davies

    Shadowstar - Warshades
    Sunstorm - Peacebringers

    Post I21 starting contacts

    Matthew Habashy

    Shadowstar - Warshades
    Sunstorm - Peacebringers


    Notice anything different?


    Now no one is saying that they weren't tired of running the old content. Hell we've been running it for almost 8 years of course it's going to feel old. But it only took a week for us to get sick of Matthew Habashy and his new linear story arc players are forced to go thru.

    One can only hope the devs plan on adding new missions to the old contacts to keep players interested because we've all seen how successful having to go thru the same linear storyline has been for Villains and Praetoria.
    Just want to agree with this.

    I like the new Matthew Habashy missions. They are good and cool and I love the phasing technology that allows our heroes to clear Arachnos out of Atlas Park. Big thumbs up! But I have started a few new characters recently an I am already bored. Previously I had more variety and they were not as bad as people suggest, since they had been updated. Such as the updated Hellion missions and the Superdine factory.

    Yeah but maybe we can distract with harmless stuff?

    Can't the same be said of Batman TAS?

    That series was excellent and the best "condensed" version of the Spidie mythos to date. I was gutted they didn't do a third series. I was hoping to see them do the Death of Gwen Stacy.

    I love my Air Sup, wouldn't build a Super Strength without it

    Your choice of course, its just that you said you use Hurl for its -Fly and AS is just as good and taking down fliers while at the same time improves your "normal" attack chain since the effects do stack.

    I haven't respec'd out of Legacy Fitness either Trying to work out my ideal Afterburner build.

    I was doing some First Ward content solo with a tank the other day and had to lead a host of characters to certain positions on the map. This was interesting enough except that the characters would engage enemies and because the constant spawn points were very close to the paths I needed to take it became very difficult to lead the characters away. Being a tank I could stand there forever (and it felt like I stood there forever) but my damage wasn't good enough to clear them before the next wave. Extremely annoying.

    3. They do.
    I am suggesting, like the OP is probably suggesting, that farms are either labels as farms or deleted.

    If they do delete farms and it is their intention that farms should be deleted they need to do a better job.

    Personally I would be happier if they were gone, but if they cannot police their own policy (and I am suggesting they can't) then admitting defeat and allowing farms to be labelled as such would benefit all users imo.

    Not sure what expecting a good life has to do with being a sociopath?

    A sociopath simply has zero empathy. Other people are just things to be used to get what they want and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible.

    I don't see Batman as a sociopath. He may be mad but he has empathy. In fact I think whether or not he is mad depends upon how the world he lives in is depicted. In our world I would want him locked away. In a dark world of massive corruption where the good cop is a rarity then he may be justified.

    Indeed. We've just received the bowl head so it stands to reason that the Ape body can't be far behind, right?
  14. As cool as Hurl is I would take Air Superiority instead. It fits so well into the Super Strength attack chain, I think no SS tank should be be without it

    To be honest I never liked the "patron" bit of the Patron Power Pools

    Anyway, liking the suggestions!

    We are not talking about farming exploits, just farming.

    If farms that don't use exploits are not bannable then its perfectly okay for them to be labelled as farms.

    If farms that don't use exploits are bannable then ban and delete them.

    Exactly.

    If farms are supposed to be banned then they need to start policing the policy.

    If they are not going to police it then they should accept it and label it.

Not saying you're wrong, it's just different than what I've heard on the street.

    The biggest problem that I have with the proposed build is that I'd only have 3 attacks pre-level 20 and if I'm exemping to do low-level stuff I'm going to be woefully useless solo. On a team, not so much, but on my own it would take forever to kill everything.
    Have to agree with you. Its especially true of Super Strength that in your early levels you get much of your damage mitigation from your attacks. I only pick up toggles in the early levels and leave the passives until after I have a decent attack chain.

    Oh and you do recall that it was Positron who flat out told us NOT to label AE content as farms?
    Thats fine. But if they do take that approach then they need to action it and start deleting farms. Otherwise they need to accept their existence and make the AE easier for people that want to find stories. And this is the most obvious, most often suggested solution.

    So Devs, please, label farms or delete them.

    One or the other.

    There's a very tiny fraction of the human race that actually looks good in spandex, and most of them will never cross paths with a movie crew. Pretty much anyone who's not in that tiny fraction looks utterly ridiculous.
    Don't agree, I think Spiderman put that one to rest. Personally I blame Tim Burton. I've never liked the rubber suit Batman but it seems thats something we have to live with now. New York cop John McClane can take on a host gun-wielding bad guys wearing just a vest! But for some reason if its The Batman he has to wear a rubber suit OR ELSE ITS UNBELIEVABLE?
