Mod08 seems to be closing down a lot of farm related threads in this forum, even though they are directly on topic for discussion about Misson Architect and it's usage, asking in the last post of each one that he lock that we "limit conversations on farming to one of the existing topics."

Does anyone have any idea which thread in the "Mission Architect: Resources, Discussion, & Questions" forum he is talking about, or should we just be guessing and/or creating new threads in the absence of a clue about this?

Or is there no existing topic and this is a way to curtail discussion without looking like that?

Just trying to figure out what is the proper way to continue to discuss these important matters in this appropriate forum.

Thanks.

Actually given the general nature of the discussion the inevitably follows any discussion that even tangentially touches on the issue of farming, I believe that this discussion is better served by being in the general CoH Forum, City Life.

As I looked through this morning I noticed several live threads that all relate to this issue in that Forum (there are many more in other forums I might add). If a player wants to ask other players about their opinion on farming they might feel that the appropriate forum for the thread would be Player Questions. If a player wanted to discuss the effects of this subject on their home server, they could decide the correct forum to discuss that topic would be their server forum. If they wanted to discuss people who played their archetype farming, and the effects on the player base it would be the archetype forums.

The fact of the matter is that there are currently probably close to 100 threads on this subject that have been live in the last week. All of them could justify their independent existence by claiming to focus on a specific facet of what they perceive as an issue with current game-play. This produces a very unfocused discussion with a lot of repetition, i.e. non productive discussion.

So unfortunately this forum will not be the place for this discussion. The suggestion in this thread to pm me is the correct one by the way, but I wanted to directly address the issue of threads on this topic.

Also discussing moderator action openly on the boards is a technical violation of the Message Forum Rules and Guidelines. If people have any further commentary they would like to make, a private message to me will be read and answered (time permitting).

Thanks,

Please limit discussion on these topics to the already existing threads.

Thanks,

Please limit discussion of farming to one of the many threads already in existence.

Thanks,

Please limit conversations on farming to one of the existing topics. Thanks.

Given the number of farming threads we have going please refrain from starting new ones and keep the threads consolidated.

Thanks!

Petitions are against the Official Message Forum Rules and Guidelines. As long as this stays a discussion however, I have no problem with discussion of the PvP changes.

Please use the other active thread on this subject.

Thanks!

Locking this for non productive discussion

Given the number of farming discussion threads already in existence, please continue this discussion in one of those. Spreading the discussion out is non productive, and makes constructive discussion more difficult.

Thanks,

This subject has already come up this week, please if you want to discuss it discuss it in that thread.

Thanks everyone for turning out!

Just a quick reminder, it may take some time to transfer a character to the Training Room and patch the Training Room to the current version so you may want to get started on the process early.

Last time was a blast, hope to see you all come out again!

Please use one of the other threads on this topic for further discussion.

Starting at 7:00 AM CST - 10:00 AM CST on Thursday 4/23 all US, European, and testing shards for City of Heroes will be brought down for maintenance and publish.

We expect the downtime to last 3 hours but please allow for early release or an extension as necessary. Always check the Server Status page for complete details.

Please do not post petitions, as they are against the Message Forum Rules and Guidelines. As a suggestion I have no problem with this however.

Unfortunately in order to repair the forums, they will need to come down briefly. While we cannot give a definite ETA, this will happen soon for a fairly short period of time.

Thanks for your patience,

Hey all,

We are aware of the issues regarding the forums and are actively working to address them at this time. We should have the forums back to normal shortly.

Thanks,

Hey everyone –

CoH’s 5 Year Anniversary is quickly approaching! Today at 5pm PST, we’ll be taking a group photo in Grandville on the Training Room, in front of the statue of Lord Recluse. We hope to be able to use this picture as well as the Hero picture taken the other day to help us promote our overall Anniversary plans. Let's see if our Villains can out do our Heroes and have a great turnout!

Don’t know how to get on the training room? Check here.

Please note: Characters which are in trademark violation or are in poor taste will NOT be allowed to participate, so choose the character you bring wisely. Also, once we start taking photos; please refrain from moving around or using your powers.

We appreciate the help. See you there!
