    Moreover no one could imagine just running on dropped enhancements

    Thus the reason for the major freak out that forced Statesman to make his own post(wow.. are we good or what?). Anyone who has played this game up to a reasonably high level knows the drop system is completely borked. We all know that contacts aren't that helpfull either.

    Getting rid of stores without a major revamp? Red alert time.

    Good god, will anyone play anything but a defender or a controller next issue? This new blaster power looks pretty sucktastic to me.

    I agree that it's probably not very workable for blasters, but it's not going to make you any worse off. It'll probably be as decisive as criticals in most situations.

    A had a crit help my scrapper once. Earlier that night aliens abducted me while I was attacked by bigfoot after having won the lottery.

  3. "Damnit.. I am out of inf. Should I slot my kick [censored] beam eyes or finish my resists? ARRGHH!"
  4. There are special hero corp(I think that is who they are) shops that give you quite a bit more for trainings than the average store. It is a little more out of the way, but the regular stores are out of the way anyway.
  5. My skin crawls at the thought of trading...

    I wonder which zone would be the designated "broadcast for enhancments!" zone?
  6. Heh.. Poor flamers.

    I freaked out myself mainly because of the worry that stores would be removed without fixes going to the current way contacts handle enhancers and the way enhancers droped. Currently..

    Drops = Borked
    Contact Origins= Borked

    Honestly, right now ehancements are nothing but a big chore. They annoy the hell out of me. Every level or two I go to a store and upgrade/combine my ehnacers to keep my performance constant rather than actualy growing weaker by level. Getting ehnacer drops is even begining to piss me off. Every time I see that I have a new one I look to see what it is. Every time I see that I have nothing but tech/science/magic SOs on my natrual character. Then I have to go sell these ASAP or I won't have Inf to get SOs from the only source I have. A store which is completely out of the way.

    I did say one other thing - that dropped Enhancements are useful only for what you can sell them for - because everyone purchases their Enhancements at the store (or at least most of them).

    First let me say that I am glad they aren't going anywhere. I kind of agree with you that stores aren't quite as cool as a contact giving them away, but as is contacts are massivly flawed. As are drops.

    That brings me to the main point of repying to THIS post. Drops are valuable to me to an extent. When I actualy get something I can use I will use it happily and carefully. When I get it that is. On my main(a natrual origin) I got 3 non training enhanments that I could actualy use between the levels 20 and her current 34. I am dead serious, and I am not exagerating. I didn't even get a dual origin that was usable by natruals! When I got anything other than TRAINING enhancers that is.

    The post 50’s blues: Mr. Emmert mentioned several different possibilities for post the 50’s game. Going back and doing missions with a sidekick so that the sidekick gets more xp.

    Just to clarify: I didn't say this. No plans.

    Aw crap.. does this mean you have been reading the thread?!

    AIIIIEEEEEE!!!!

  9. THe contact at the docks sells natruals. Tech to I think.
  10. I only sell in a select few zones myself. The stores aren't exactly easy to find.

    It's not going to happen at this point, though.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Oh why the hell not?

    I am tired of the "We are to far in the game" crap. If they are going to ruin the quality of life for our characters to "fix" a bad system I say drastic steps should be taken to put in a new one.
  13. At this point I am not dissing the devs in general. I hadn't thought of what the others might think, but MY hate is directed at the man himself. He is the one that said it afterall.. not the other devs. You still raise a very good point though. I am betting he is outvoted. At least I hope he is.

    It isn't like it isn't their(the devs) fault anyway, or whoever designed the current system. Contacts only selling limited enhancements(both in origin and type). Drops are totaly out of wack. What did they expect us to do? I hate to repeat myself, but I tried it the way Statesman invisioned. It doesn't work at all. Worse part was I did it on my controller. Untill I finaly gave in and just went to a store my controller literaly could not solo on heroic. I just wasn't getting the kind of things I needed. I don't know how other ATs would handle it, but I don't want to know. I would much rather have a root canal than play like that again.

    ::Notices she is targeted.. then hid behind::

    You do know my main is a regen.. right?
  15. At this point I am inclined to say that, if I had my choice, I would do away with enhancements alltogether. I would replace it with a points system of sorts.
  16. If you are forced to go to contacts then you will need to clear them ASAP. Sadly teams are built on a rather self centered basis. Most pick up groups have a leader that insist on only doing their own missions. Even if you team with friends who divide things fairly, chances are that the contact doesn't sell to you quick enough. You can gain XP suprisingly fast even from a halfway decent team.
  17. Issue x.. City of Hermits?

    Seriously, this is a bad idea. I tried the game the pure way(storeless). It didn't work. It was horrible. It was the worst time of my life. I don't think I will ever have a more horrible time playing this game.

    Go ahead and shoot him! We are capping your [censored] regardless!

    Yet...?

  20. Yeah.. All in all it sounds like Statesman wants to make make enhancments "special", but all he will succede in doing is making them annoy as hell.

  25. I hate to proclaim Dooooooom, but seriously now I think that removal of stores, without some kind of fixes to drops and how contacts handle enhancments, would be a complete disaster. Can we say.. Nail in the coffin? Not speaking for everyone, but I certainly would be gone.

    End of Doom post. I realy hope this doesn't happen.. ever. If it does I hope something reasonable is done to compensate. I am suprised more people aren't freaking out about this.
