I'm going to be doing Masque's Duel ladder seeding thing at that time >.< but this should be great. You might want to disallow the going rogue proc enhancements though, otherwise SOUNDS CRAZY FUN!

Ok, if there is the possbility that people from the draft aren't actually going to be played by the team that dratfs them, then go ahead and count me out of the draft. If someone wants to form a team, then I'll join one of those, but I'm not going to bother going through the trouble of setting up to play in a League if we're not going to play. Thanks for your time.

Yes, all of this downtime can be annoying when you want to jump into the game, however, this isn't the first time they have done emergency maintenance on a weekend. Honestly, I expected some of this for the first week or two of open access, so it's really no big deal. I'll take some downtime now before they open up the servers to everyone else if it makes the final release better for the new players.

Due to the technical issues iwth the forums and the fact that Issue 21 was released Tuesday, Sep has asked me to post that these events be posponed this weekend. They should resume next weekend.

Quote:How would enjoyment be greatly lessened if you can have what you want and I can have what I want? With The Three Ts (Taskforces, Trials, Tips), it's almost like that now, I just wind up sacrificing most of the other content to use them. if there's a way that I feel rewards me for my time spent, I'll take it, so long as it's not a game exploit (like buying influence from a site is).Originally Posted by Feycat
That's an opinion, and one you've chosen not to explain or support.
Here's another one: I enjoy the invention system as-is. It's a mini-game for me (as it's intended to be) and building and filling out IO builds using Mids is a big chunk of my enjoyment of the game.
If IO recipes were available in vendor stores, that enjoyment would be greatly lessened.
So... what makes your "it's not fun!" more valid than anyone else's "I enjoy it!" ? -
Quote:No kidding. I HATE the Invention System with a burning passion, however, I suffer it for the benefits it gives me. If there ever becomes a full alternative to not having to use and still be able to get similar benefits, I would never use that craptastic thing again.Originally Posted by Sun_Runner
Some people have to do stuff they don't like in a game so that they can do the things they do like in a game. (I hate the low-level game with a burning passion, for example. Game doesn't start until the low 30s.)
The only true way is to play the game without using Developer discouraged exploits, with a thousand, thousand paths from here to there, now to then.Quote:Repeat after me: There is no one true way, only a thousand thousand paths from here to there, now to then. -

1) Enhancements are available cheaply in the in-game stores. They're called SOs, and the game is actually BALANCED AROUND THEM. Inventions are unnecessary perks and in no way mandatory for anyone.
It's a start.Quote:1a) Uncommon IO recipes are going to be available in the Paragon store.
Now, you make me wish I had kept Positron's quotes on this type of thing during the AE fiasco.Quote:Farming is not exploitative behavior unless cheats or hacks are used. Attractiveness of gameplay is not the issue. WANT IT NAO!!! mindsets are the issue.

You mean like the IOs they'll be selling in the Paragon store? :P

Quote:There are two ways I can see this working well:Originally Posted by Black Zot
Developers have been trying since before MMOs existed to squelch farmer spam. Every single effort has failed miserably. NCSoft is living in a dream world if they think any system they come up with (including this hamfisted joke) won't be circumvented within a month or two.
1) Add enhancements cheaply to the store. That way, people can buy what they like and Paragon Studios reaps the benefit.
2) revamp the invention system. Make it more attractive to play with and there would be no perceived need for "farming" in the first place.
You don't combat exploitive behavior by attempting to squash it, you make the gameplay more attractive. -
My first level up outside of the tutorial was always at Back Alley Brawler. Yes, I'll miss it, however, this will be an opportunity to make the Shivans pay for destroying Galaxy City!

Quote:Something that could be completely avoided if they ever sell IOs in the store or revamp the invention system...Originally Posted by Liz Bathory
Did you completely forget this is suppose to be a GAME!? A game where you like it to bust npc heads in... A game to enjoy. Not a money or ind gathering tool.
You are so lost I cannot believe! -
I'll live. I would much rather have I21 live then worry about the badge on the 22nd. Besides, I'll get it on the 22nd anyway.

With a couple of notable exceptions, This is pretty much how Champion works. I am always amazed when I hear that other servers don't use the global system as much as we do. -
Just typing the word "farm" should get people a three-day ban...
"I really don't like that word."
