whose responsible this?

They nerfed Freakshow XP, and that's about it as far as dev content XP goes.

There's nothing in the patch notes to support this and you're the only person I've seen report anything like it. Can you go into any more detail?

Old redundant article is redundant and old.

They have. Percentage scaling is only for completely hand-picked powers.

In a coming patch, according to Pohsyb, you can also customize these templates further by adding powers to them. So long as you have the powers required to make up one of the templates, the XP will be based from that rather than by the number of powers chosen.

That was a hands-on preview of I16, not GR.

That's being fixed. Pohsyb says:

Thanks for the clarification

Looks like it's going to auto SK to mission holder's actual level, not their level -1.

Posi:

So one L50 SKing 7 level 1s to L50 and running around a map defeating things to level them up is easier than what we have now? Sounds to me like it would be far, far slower.

How?

I love this.

... sorry, was that supposed to be a counterpoint?

Because you are not your pretend character.

Can you PLEASE come up with some term that doesn't cast you as a bunch of jolly criminals or adolescent delinquents.

I'm finding it very hard to see why you accuse other people of taking the moral high ground when it so often seems like you lot are deliberately taking the moral low ground and celebrating it.

It makes it very hard to be open-minded and even-handed, frankly.

That's a total misrepresentation of what they actually said. They've been completely consistent all along. It was ALWAYS the workload that was the problem.

That simply isn't the way it works.

Firstly, the 'passed content review' flag does exist. I have it on one of my arcs.

Positron on the subject:

Secondly, you're misunderstanding the 'three strike rule'. It doesn't mean that an arc that gets reported often enough will be banned even if it isn't exploitative. It means that an arc that is banned is frozen, meaning you can't use that slot. And you only have three slots. To quote Positron again:

So: even if an arc is reported a zillion times, if it passed content review once it's fine. It has to be that way to prevent malicious reporting of arcs.

Legend has it that if they are not given tribute of fruit baskets, they will arise and devour the living. Except for Sexy Jay who probably prefers fondant fancies.

Looks like it, doesn't it? Perhaps we need some nice clear guidelines about 'what to report and what not to'.

No, that decision is out of the player's hands. The Devs, not the players, decide what's appropriate for the MA and what's not. The most any one person can do is help the Devs achieve their aims. They don't get to decide anything.

So... all CoH players are part of the same clique/faction/demographic?

Thanks, I needed a laugh.

I believe you're right. The flag is something like 'Passed content review'.

Look at it this way.

1. Nobody, no matter how pro-farming they are, is supporting exploitative farms.

2. Farms that aren't exploitative don't get deleted, no matter how often someone reports them.

So anyone objecting to people reporting farms is either covertly supporting exploits, or protesting an action that did nothing but use up the reporter's time.

Have you ever heard of a non-exploitative farm getting deleted?

(This is an honest question. I don't actually know what the GMs will and won't delete.)

It's stuff like this, together with 'hall monitor', 'grass' and similar epithets, that make me wonder:

Do the people who use these terms have any terminology to use that isn't derived from either a high school environment, in which complicity in rebellion in the face of teacherly authority is prized, or a criminal environment in which complicity in lawbreaking in the face of civic authority is prized?

In other words: are you actually holding up adolescents and criminals as role models, or is there something I'm missing?
