Mr_Bal

I am just amazed this guy has snuck under the radar for so long in his career.

Someone needs to re-evaluate this mans worth in their educational system, if this is the type of research he teaches and applies.

Hai, i too would like to "research" *wink*wink* the OBVIOUS and get paid, kthx.

Huggles,

I got from 40-50 in 3 hours of MA yesterday, Solo.

I will never understand why some people are so obsessed with how fast *other* people are leveling. How fast I PL my alt has nothing to do with anybody else. The world would be a far better place if people would just direct all that misguided energy to more worthy... causes.

[/ QUOTE ]

If every MMO were working on your principle, there would probably not have any left going on the market. You know that?

Devs certainly did not create 50 leveling steps to see them bypassed in less than a week, a day or even a hour.

This is non-sense.

[/ QUOTE ]

QFT^, although this concept is lost to most people on these boards.

Good for the game?? but what about me!?!? waaaahhhh!!!

If i want Superior XP for my time, i go to the MA.

[/ QUOTE ]

...And get on a PL farm team and go into a farm map.

Because otherwise, it's not even remotely "superior".

[/ QUOTE ]

Thats obviously implied Professor

No shortage of AE farm Teams for AE farm maps.

Its funny that PI is a ghost town now. I wonder where the best/convenient place to farm xp is now?...

[ QUOTE ]

Uh. Hi. Radio Missions.

[/ QUOTE ]

Huh?

All AV/EB/Boss/Lt farms in Radio Missions now? Complete with passive buff buddies for max xp/time ratio?

If i want Superior XP for my time, i go to the MA.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]

I think you might see the XP lessened..

[/ QUOTE ]

Highly doubtful, it would be a reversal of the promoted XP parity with the regular game.
The MA would become the Arena equivalent, an inspire dispenser.

[/ QUOTE ]

There is no XP parity, MA XP (Farms ie 90%sh of the content run) > Reg XP. So either the nature of the encounters change (ie ALL X FARM) or the xp changes.

Now if regular missions provided "All X Farms" that anyone could access at any level, then there would be "parity".

Nice suggestion op. DRs could be tweaked to satisfy both sides of the fence, but they do feel sneaky to the avg player

[ QUOTE ]

This is just ANOTHER nerf AE thread in disguise.

[/ QUOTE ]

DOOOOM?

[ QUOTE ]
I think you have things all wrong about MA...

[/ QUOTE ]

Im suprised you didnt tell him to shutup, or state erroneous facts. But you did make sure to question his motives and talk down to him a bit.

So your post sorta delivers -> 3/10.

[ QUOTE ]
It seems pretty odd to me that someone would say that their 'whole SG' quit because AE made it impossible to find teams for doing regular missions.


[/ QUOTE ]

Your reading too much into it. Obviously "Impossible" was an exaggeration.

I think "Extremely Frustrating" would be a suitable replacement for the nit-pickers.

*cough*Issue15hasvillaincontent*cough*

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah was scratching my head also. Seems some don't read the patch notes.

NEWSFLASH to those that still haven't: The new tfs ARE NOT CO-OP.



[/ QUOTE ]

Wow, a whole TF for villains?
One whole issue on a TF...so it must be good!
With stuff we have never seen before...

[ QUOTE ]
Hey going from level 1 to 26 in 4 boss runs I don't mind the AE stuff. Do you know how much hell it is for a brute without Stam? I never could make a brute and stick with it because I could not have fun.


[/ QUOTE ]

/signed - MA is fine because it lets me bypass all the levels till stamina.

[ QUOTE ]

what would really help is if you checked the "I want to preview my post" button before you post and actually read what you write... this is not even remotely a solution and seriously, as I have said before... give the devs more credit than that... if it were that simple... ...

[/ QUOTE ]

Maybe you should "preview" your post. Hes entitled to his opinion. And his suggestion isnt half bad.

What do you suggest? do nothing?
Seems the only counter argument in this thread.

[ QUOTE ]

I play MA to do some new stories, instead of the older ones I've done before. If XP was removed, I'd stop playing MA altogether.

[/ QUOTE ]

*Cough*, Yes! We all play MA for stories.
But i cant enjoy the MA stories without exp. Nope.
Bad idea OP, i will leave the MA, my stories about exp will be ruined.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]


You say it's not everyones game - I hope it can be the game of both the story crowd and the power-challenge crowd



[/ QUOTE ]

That will never happen.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thats the goal of MA, or so im led to believe...

Ya ive seen people stuck in "Running Man" animations for a whole mission. I wouldnt have thought anything at first, but then i saw their toon do the level up animation a couple times.

I said something in chat. not 2 sec's later the player goes offline for real.

Weird and confusing, is this just coincidence, or can people fake dc's like this. Seems to happen quite alot.

using the word "Marvel" anywhere in your characters name will get it generic'd.

You will never see them cut rewards to MA to the extent that you are suggesting.

[/ QUOTE ]

Something has to, and will be done.
Although i am not pro-cutting rewards, its probably the easiest fix. And by being the easiest fix, will probably be the one that gets implemented by Paragon.

[/ QUOTE ]
Please. Just because it's the easiest fix, doesn't mean it's the one they'll do. You don't have an MMO run for 5 years by being stupid. Most MMOs fail to even start or are cut down to 1 or 2 staff members or are shut down completely after a very short period of time. Cutting the rewards across the boards is probably something they will NEVER do, because you can bet your [censored] that it will piss a lot of people off. Not just here on the forums, either. Your average player probably doesn't care too much if he can't use the burning forest map in AE anymore, but if you cut his experience, he's going to notice, and he's going to be pissed.

For the last 5 years, when they found an exploit, they fixed that exploit. It'll happen exactly the same way here.

[/ QUOTE ]

This AE farm issue is divisive on more levels than you give credit. its more than just some bugged map(s)

Personally,
I vote instant tp to the AE building on character creation as a choice. Maybe the AE guy as your starting contact?

[ QUOTE ]
Break out the whips and the hairshirts

Somebody made a story that gives good rewards

[/ QUOTE ]

he may be right! nerf the stf!. 5 av's and a GM in the final mission is obviously a farm.

[/ QUOTE ]

Because all AV's are created equal right?
You cant possibly make weak and farmable AVs/Boss/Lt/Minion for your farm characters.
Thats UnPossible!!!!

[ QUOTE ]

On the other hand, some people here do have a valid point: such AVs are dangerous (or at least supposed to be), which means they have high risk. High risk means high reward, which in and of itself is balanced.

[/ QUOTE ]

Does everyone like bs'n themselves in these forums?

Most AV's are a joke in pug teams of 4+. I imagine farm teams have even less trouble.

Lots of risk in killing AV's with a semi-competent group.

[/ QUOTE ]

By that logic why have any AV anywhere give more xp ? Or bosses for that matter ?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes! Thats exactly how extreme i want it to be

My Point: The risk everyone talks about is completely overblown. Yes they should still give xp, but dont act like AV's cant be farmed easily for great rewards /facepalm

Why do people seem to be begging to get MA missions nerfed?
Heck, let's just get it over with and have all rewards in MA reduced by 75%...

[/ QUOTE ]

It will happen, and there will be tears.

"But but but its in the game right now so it must be working as intended".

Rrrright...

Its a desktop. Got a couple desktops with varying gfx cards, the blinking happens on all of them.

I just wanted to re-affirm the OP that hes not the only one, the 1st reply post was not exactly appropriate (ie Theres no problem here, move on). A solution would be nice as i have updated and tried everything on my comp to fix it. Its not a huge bug. But a bug.

This happens quite frequently on my ATI Radeon HD 3800.
Can happen to me in any map at anytime.

In response to the post about needing lvl 38's minimum or your doomed

finished Ice Mistral with the following....

3 lvl 36 brutes ( em/ela , em/stone, elec/ela )
2 lvl 36 corrs ( dark/dark, energy/rad )
1 lvl 37 stalker ( em / ninja )
1 lvl 35 mm ( bots / ff )

it can be done, but your team has to sync really well.
btw most mobs were lvl 40, including the AV.
