Indeed.... I got bored earlier, and already made myself a quick wallpaper of the two characters for my desktop... (granted it was done in about 10 minutes, and probably looks it...)

Link...

Would have thrown a "Going Rogue" logo up just above/behind them,(instead of the CoH/CoV logos in the bottom right corner) but I couldn't find an image to snag for it... >_>;

Edit: Made it cause the ones they have on the site didn't grab my attention enough...

It's not coming to live, it's coming to test. And if you launch the test client, it will start downloading a 103 MB patch.

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, I was referring to the fact that usually Test's a patch ahead of Live, so if they're dropping a new Issue on Test, shouldn't the patch go Live?

So, wait, shouldn't we be getting a patch to live too, then? *confused*

About bloody time! >_< Been expecting this to drop for like a week now.

hmm maybe that is why it is gone. I wasn't looking to exploit lol. Just thought it was a good farming mish

I had the same effect, but it was more a visceral wince at how many people were going to read this thread, report it, try and report the person, then proceed to flame the person off the forums. :/

As much as I hate to disagree and add fuel to the fire.. *sigh* the recent philosophy change of no more "Kill x" badges and the possible change to "Kill x" badges would seem to indicate that they want to shift away from having to farm content.

[/ QUOTE ]

And this is bad because....?

I see this as a positive shift back towards "casual" play, and away from the MMO "grind". I don't see a problem here. Anything that allows me to feel as if my game is a GAME rather than a part time job is fine with me.

[/ QUOTE ]

It's mostly that it's 5 years after the fact and that the philosophical change was announced soon after the MA farming "discussion" debacle.

There is no witch hunt against farmers or powerlevelers. It is a very targeted hunt against farming and powerleveling through the Mission Architect.

Gratz! I'd say your dark/dark corr, because that'd be a lot more helpful and appreciated on some of the end game content. Then you too can solo pylons!

I know what you mean - I bought Monopoly and had some friends over, but then they all wanted me to play by the rules. I was all like, "I paid for this game, so we'll play the way I want to!"

The weird part is how bad they suck at Monopoly. I always win.

I'm personally a fan of changing all of my money for smaller denominations once I get enough cash, to make it hard for other players to get change back from the bank. "Oh sorry, we don't have change for $500, sorry."

What'd be nice is if there was some way for them to not count valid html tags in the total count.. or for Pete's sake allow <p> tags as well as <br> tags. What's really frustrating is to type something out using enter because it's visually easier on the editor, be able to publish it because enter only takes like 1-2 spaces according to the count, then come back to edit something and find the line breaks are changed to <br>'s after you published and now it's over the total.

Ooh ooh.. now I want to see, too, so.. *clears throat* prove it. Pics or it isn't true.

I honestly can't remember the fastest ITF I was on. I think I noticed a 57 minute one, though. The one that felt like the fastest one was one of the first ones I did when the issue first went live. It was like.. 6 scrappers/brutes and two healers without debuffs. Being a brute on a mayhem mission is fun, but nothing felt as epic as beating down Nictus Rommie through sheer damage.

I have a question related to this.. just how much does damage scale for minion, lt, boss, eb, av, etc with custom critters? Because I remember one mish that had a custom critter ally that was an EB that was two shotting things with either shuriken or throwing knives.

We're not supposed to discuss exploits on the forums and we don't know what's still there or not, but fine...

[/ QUOTE ]

If it's no longer exploitable then I would guess you can discuss it. Just don't discuss current exploits.

[/ QUOTE ]
Umm, that was why he said "and we don't know what's still there or not",
meaning it still might be a sensitive topic to discuss.

[/ QUOTE ]

And based on the fact that after a few people responded to my post rambling post, I got a PM from a non-dev asking me what exploits are still in the game... -___- ...yeah.

Unless there's a graveyard under Atlas Plaza, there shouldn't be any Shivans just because a meteor landed.

To be completely honest, there's no way there isn't. The Rikti came and massacred the city and it's defenders, after all. Do regular citizens even have access to the Emergency Medical Transporters? Could they withstand thousands of people being teleported at once for an ongoing period of time? Plus, the Rikti made pushes towards the hospitals once they saw people were making stands there.

To further cite an example.. even before the Rikti came along, Paragon City was a city of heroes. Afterwards, there were EIGHT.

1) MA - 100% cool!

2) Dev handling of problems with it - 100% overreacted to.

I figure there's probably one other important percentage to go here:

3) Player Base Upset about #2 - .5%

[/ QUOTE ]

Statistics to back up above statements- 0

[/ QUOTE ]

Everyone knows 99.873% of all statistics are made up.

Defendable objects can already be used, but I don't know how many waves they use. If I had to guess I'd say it's like the Skulls mish where you defend the artifact and there're about 3 waves or so.

Also, you can't trigger an ambush from an ambush, as far as I know, can you?

<QR>

Personally, if I were the devs, something I'd do with each major change to the MA is get a group of people who knew how to abuse the MA, get them on test and basically go "ok, break it" while datamining their sessions and have them report things to the devs.

Because I don't disagree that there was blatant exploitation. I do disagree that the exploiters are 100% at fault. More like 98-99.5% at fault. Things shouldn't have to be rolled back after being live for weeks because all that does is anger the playerbase and give those who did it cause to say "well, you let it go live, so we weren't supposed to do X or Y?"

Looks to me like you couldn't just 'roll up' a meow without considerable forethought.

Which takes the "I didn't know it could be used for farming!!!" argument, wads it up, and tosses it in the oubliette. Exploit city, this.

There were quite a few 5 starred farm mishes for awhile there. Some were blatantly farms, others weren't, and with the nature of the listings, it would be easy for someone to stumble upon a farm mish without realizing it if it hada 5 star average and was pushed ahead of the others.

I didn't know the 42-42 Comm Officers were Sewer Trial Comm Officers until someone explained it earlier in the thread, I just knew they were giving better rewards. The situation isn't as black and white as you seem to make it. Yes, it was wrong, but not everyone who did it was as fully in the loop. Some people really did just notice the arcs with "meow" in the title gave good xp, so played them.

I'm personally still stumped as to why they were called "meow".
