Quote:Don't we already have well done and challenging story arcs in game?Originally Posted by Bosstone
Okay. Expect that in i22, since resources need to be allocated to the project and i20 and i21 are already in the pipeline.
What? You want it ASAP? Well, in order to do that we need to minimize use of resources. We can do a cheapie workaround for you. Will that tide you over until we finish in-progress projects and can start working on this one?
IOW: Just how quickly do you think a very well done and challenging story arc can be completed?
Can our normal Peregrine/Grandville contacts reward incarnate based salvage for completing their arcs?
how hard would that be to implement/balance?
That would solve everything really.
like Golden Girl said, "It doesn't hurt to ask" -
I think what we could use is a compromise.
If I had the power to suggest one it would be this: A series of arcs that anyone can start that would yield a choice of component salvage or pile of shards.
Basically a scaled task force that requires only one person to start.
Remember: just a suggestion.
I'm fine with whatever they come up with. I really dig the lore of the Well of Furies. I'd hate to see it go to waste on a shortcut like this. -

Incarnate content is supposed to be high-end, difficult challenges. Solo content has to be pretty easy, so any Archetype/power combination can complete it without needing a team. The two concepts don't really mix.
I also said "challenging" please don't overlook that.
thanks. -
Quote:to be honest, I wasn't expecting a shard tradeoff. Which is fine, I have no issue with that, nor do I have an issue with the inf cost.Originally Posted by Necrotron
One hundred MILLION dollars.
That is a whole lot of cash. That means a top tier Alpha, with its one Favour and two third-tier Alphas (one Notice each) in the recipie, will costs 400 million influence.
When they said a method for the soloist I was thinking something of a chain of missions via contact...
Not at all the shortcut that is being presented.
I thought this was going to be -content related- not "Here buy this instead GAWDUH"
I can get behind this, but I would rather get behind a very well done and challenging story arc that can be done either solo or with a small to large group.
It just makes this seem... I dunno if I'm being to hypercritical but... cheaply done? Not enough effort into developing content? What am I looking for here?
When Black Scorpion said they were investigating an alternate path, I guess they were looking at the cheapest easiest way around making an actual soloable chain of missions.
Its like terminator logic, the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. No heart at all.
I mean I can't really be upset over this, I can meet the requirements, and I can't really blame the devs for not having enough resources to make a few arcs for the soloists...
I guess I'm just a bit disappointed, no new solo story arcs to unlock incarnates... -

Are you so sick of the Devs doing nothing for you that you want to burn the rest of the player base?
Hell to the yes.
In fact, I'm so itchy to have a new base editor I'd go so far as to say do it anyway, regardless of what people say or think and if need be blame it all on me when things go wrong. That's something I would gladly accept the blame for. It's not like I can make myself into more of a whipping boy on the forums and it's not like I'm a stranger to making a fool out of myself.
Hell, I do it so often it's turned into a hobby.
I'm nutty like that and I hope you hate me for it! I'm living rent free inside your head!
Burn the playerbase. I'll take the blame for it and sing it as a celebrated fact.
This change is overdue and at this point I'm all about being a catalyst. I'm flammable baby! Douse me with gasoline, light me up and watch me burn down the forest. It will be glorious! and hilarious! -
Quote:With so many striving to turn Incarnate, the RMT's will have good reason to show up in force should something that expensive go live.Originally Posted by Memphis_Bill
Just a thought...
Any bets on seeing more RMT activity springing up once this goes live? I mean, really, there's no reason for worrying overmuch about INF in this game before, but 100 million for that - and you need how many for the very rare?
What drives RMT in other games (Aion being the one that irked me most with this) is the need to keep buying/repairing things. I'd hate to see desire for this be reason for a new wave of RMTers.
...Also see "Unified Front"
Q: Is it possible for RMT's to delay game updates/production because resources from other departments would have to reroute to the anti-RMT squad?
Q: How would this affect the in-game economy with that many RMT's <?unknown number?> manipulating things?
I'm asking because in the fantasy game, I found alot of my guildies turning to RMT's to "buy a motorcycle" because of PRICE... -
Quote:Omg I'm actually agreeing with you 0.0Originally Posted by Techbot Alpha
Uh...hardly. Sure, crafting it via shards will be slower...but do you honestly expect soloing to be faster than a teaming option? And, bear in mind, this is me talking as someone who was fighting tooth and claw for a solo option in earlier threads.
If this WAS as bad as That Fantasy MMO, then there would be NO option for solo-ers. You would have no option at all, and the standard would response would be "Yeah, suck it, we have 6million OTHEr subscribers. So, no, you dont matter."
If you seriously think the same is true here...all I can say is you have a very stranger perception issue, IMO.
Thank you devs for the solo option. I'll try to run the TF's, I don't think I'll be able to, issues and whatnot ...so at least I have a solo option to fall back on.
again: Thank you! -
yup, rollback hit me too.

Quote:so, 20 m inf? I'd get behind that. So long as there wasn't a pointless cool down in between crafting. Making inf is cake. I donate the majority of my earnings to younger sg's to buy prestige, because ya know, I'm a dirty farmer.Originally Posted by Eva Destruction
So? There are tons of ways to make inf in the game, including killing stuff, which you'll need to do to get your shards anyway. It's a stupid argument and I'll be happy to point anyone who makes it in the direction of the market forum where they will be torn to shreds by people who can refute that argument in their sleep. I don't expect the inf amount to be so high that only the most dedicated marketeers will be able to afford it. I just want it to be significant. More like A-merits, less like temp powers.

Quote:what about a combine power for bots masterminds?Originally Posted by Nericus
Or give us a temp power that lets us turn into a giant so that we can fight Giant Monsters like the Kronos Titan. What's the old saying? "Pick on someone your own size!"
call it gestalt -
apologies, no real horror stories...
My very first STF and we get to ghost Widow. the team has hit a speed bump. I get the bright Idea to hit bloody bay for a fresh pack of shivans. about 15 minutes later the team is back on GW overwhelming her with green jello. the rest was cake thanks to someone explaining the battle plan.
My very first Nazi ballerina man type guy and I -had- to go afk for the grounding rod mission, totally missed out on the temp power, totally didn't need it. I forget the team make-up but we pretty much stomped a mudhole in everything. Shivans and backup radio this time. I also found myself in the role of "rez the scrapper guy" and burned through my temp revive power
I think the key to success is: bring as many temp pet powers as you can, be prepared like batman. -
This pack is awesome!
I can't wait to add this one to my collection!
I would LOVE to see a "dragon pack" of some sort eventually

Quote:I would prefer the notice to require Incarnate shards or salvage for crafting. At least keep it incarnate related and not require a large number of merits, a large number of shards, fine, merits...maybe not so much.Originally Posted by Eva Destruction
Reward merits. Let's say....pulling a number out of the air....75-100 merits. And 50 million inf, just because we need more inf sinks. You can only earn one Notice, through whatever method, in each WST cycle.
It's soloable, it's not realy fast or "easy," the WST is still the fastest way, teaming up for non-WST TFs is second-fastest, soloing is slowest. It doesn't require adding another currency, and it can't be achieved through demon farming. Frankly, I'll take an Apex and a Tin Mage with a side of ITF over a down-powered slog through Sister Psyche's Neverending Freakshow Buffet any day. -

we still need bears!!!
Let me tell you, I used to lead an sg full of "Bears" as they called themselves, those weren't bears, those were horrible wretched merciless monsters!
I get the joke, I mean, I got it a very long time ago, and it still isn't funny.
It's just not. Not to me anyway.
Pal, do you have any idea what it is like to be the only rabbit in an SG with lots of Bears?!
DAMMIT I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH "MY" **** STICKING TO MY FUR I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH YOUR **** STICKING TO MY FUR!
The joke is NOT funny anymore! and it certainly wasn't funny when You "Bears"got in a line and took Turns with said joke!
So no bear pieces for JOOOOO -

I really hate to say this, I haven't run any numbers, I'm not seeing any decrease in shard drops, I'm not trying to brag or rub it in anyones face
This seems like a perception issue.
I've got over 100 shards to burn through and they seem to rain down on me, this is after I've crafted my bla bla bla...
I mainly run solo.
all those shards and nothing to do with them.
I want to make my character more powerful, but I'm stuck waiting on this gated nonsense for whatever reason.
Maybe the Well just smiles on me alot.
Maybe it's my +4 x8 diff...solo...
Maybe I'm just impatient, Maybe I just want what I paid for <GR>.
