Zero, since I can just PL myself 1-50 in no time flat.
I would still pay for account-wide, pvp-zone only Accolade powers. -
I have a Water/Poison at 26 and the only time I've used the debuffs is int he Double Feature event. Most of the content is too easy for them and the targeted heal is nigh useless as I solo or PL most of the time.
Would really like a larger aoe for the debuffs and some of the powers looked at, if not completely revamped (Paralytic Poison for one, the heal for another).
Could be so, so much better... -

Oh I almost forgot to add.. Westin Phillips is a good candidate as well and the missions he sends other on are despicable but he's still just working for Lord Recluse. He may be the one sending your character out to poison food or destroy books but like all the other contacts you deal with that are a part of Arachnos he's still just carrying out the wishes of Recluse himself or one of Recluse's deputies. I would definately rank him as worse than a lot of the others like Viridian or the Shadow Spider since he obviously got the job of seeing to it those missions were accomplished because he had no problem doing it. Knowing how Recluse reacts to anyone that disappoints of defies him .. can we honestly say Phillips is acting without someone's permission? The missions themselves may even be his idea on how to resolve a situation but he still had to get someone higher up to approve them before he contacted YOUR character to carry them out! Using a real world example He'd be very similar to a Nazi concentration camp commander during WW 2.. They carried out the genocide but not without Hitler ordering it to be done and approving of the methiods they used to do so!
You still had the ability to say no or to do the right thing but chose to just follow orders.
Excellent point on Nemesis though.

To Post-script: All I saw there was "rabid intern", could we leave Paragon's webcams on when Michelle works there?

So...does this involve any updates on Issue 24, or refreshments or...?
P.S. Thanks Fab.

Quote:Not to Godwin your thread, but doing what you're told hasn't been close to a legitimate excuse in ages.Originally Posted by cursedsorcerer
Then again, those things that Westin Phipps does are ACTUALLY done by player villains, not Phipps himself.
Then again, any player villain who can actually stomach doing his missions (and actually ENJOYS doing his missions) might also be a contender.
Phipps for sure. -

Quote:This...I won a base design on Victory last year and had The Hacienda (former nightclub in Manchester) made on Pinnacle. I would be extremely upset to walk into any of my bases to find them blank.Originally Posted by Dechs Kaison
Don't you touch my base! Resorting raid functionality means at the very least removing the ability to block rooms with objects and stack things artistically. At that point, they'd likely rather redo the code and render current bases unusable. That's likely too much work to be worth the return. Also, ragequits galore.
All I want for bases is universal access (heroes in villain bases) and maybe a few more items. -
Quote:Not to put too fine a point of it but here were the issues prior to Freedom:Originally Posted by Vel_Overload
I can feel for the OP and for a different reason: I'm a VIP player.. yes I don't get full access to the game. I have to pay stupid 'points' to unlock powersets that any other game would give me since I was VIP. I've already cancelled my sub. I already give this company the standard fee of $15 dollars which is no more than any other subscirption based game..
..yet they are still trying to sucker me into buying 'points' to unlock stuff that I should have immediate access to the moment it goes live. WoW doesn't even do this! And those guys are evil! EEEEVVVVAAAALLL. I dunno. I understand this game is technically 'dead' since it no longer rakes in enough cash from subscriptions and no, don't argue the technicalities and meanings of the word 'dead'. Because this game is certainly not vibrate anymore if that makes you feel better. The moment a game goes F2P or in this case P2Win, the game might as well be labelled dead. I hope City of Heroes 2 isn't going this route whenever they announce it's in the works.
Issue 19 Strike Pack (Feb 1 2011):
Alpha Slot Level Shift
Weekly Strike Target
Apex TF
Tin Mage TF
Zone Events for Praetoria
Inherent Fitness
QOL stuff
Issues 20 and 20.5 Incarnates/Incarnates Ascend April 5 and June 28 2011:
New incarnate slots, trials, rewards and a host of QOL stuff.
New level 20 SF/TF
New Winter Event
Since Convergence and Freedom, we have received:
A new powerset monthly or so;
Tons of new costumes, free or no;
A new Incarnate Trial virtually every issue;
A new ZONE in Dark Astoria, with accompanying arcs;
A level 15 team-up event and much more I am likely forgetting.
So...if the game is dead, why not just leave the servers inert and close the door to new players? I wish the game were this mortally wounded years ago, I would not have subbed to NC's competing fantasy offering. -

Levelling three Water/Poisons and a Water/Storm at the moment.
Storm will be paired with Poison for duo pay. So much fun.
Generally hated Poison on my Thugs/Poison MM (great single target, lousy against screaming mobs of stuff when Gang War was absent) and it seems night and day with Water Blast's ginormous AoEs. -
So many new powersets...even if I only get one every few months to my liking, I'll still be making alts for years. Seems strange with the (seemingly) reduced revenues that we are getting so much new stuff.
(Not trying to be doomy, we are just getting a TON more stuff with the F2P model than we were with the straight $15 sub. Either those extra dollars are funding these goodies and keeping employees afloat, or there's a slush fund at Paragon Studios that War Witch is handling with extreme care.) -
Quote:Z, can I call you Z? Anyways, Z, we love the tidbits. It's more fun that way, especially when accompanied by memes or pictures. Please keep it up.Originally Posted by Zwillinger
Nothing that's been discussed has broad Marketing Value. It's all very Community centric and really is something that's only interesting to current/former players of the game. When we're closer to beta, we'll release a full Issue 24 overview (I was just talking to Black Pebble about this today).
And here I thought that the Community would be excited about getting news about upcoming changes prior to the actual announcement.
Also, if you aren't busy Mondays or Thursdays, Sentry4 is hosting some casual PvPz on Virtue. Copy over your grav/ta or Dom or something and join the fun.
-
What can I tell you, it is a shock going from a full page of kitted out toons to a few characters without full gear.
Your choice boils down to paying $15 for everything or $5 for a few invention licences and some alts. In the end, you will need to decide if the gameplay of the game is fun enough for you or if you need the gear and epic missions (Incarnates et al.) to get your blood racing again.
Good luck. -
Quote:Would give increased chance of R/VR.Originally Posted by Ukaserex
This trial should give an automatic rare/very rare. No ifs, ands or buts.
Procedurally, it's not terribly challenging, but in practice, a lot of players will suffer because their league may not have all the pieces of this puzzle.
(Buffs, debuffs and damage)
Alternative to the auto rare/very rare table, I think there should be an astral for beating 250 idf, an astral for beating each of the three avs, and an astral for beating black swan in addition to the two emps for winning the trial.
Aside from unlocking hybrid, or pursuing badges, there seems to be very little reason to run this trial other than the joy of dodging lightning flow.
Astral on 250. - Debateable since this gets farmed.
Astral on 3 AV defeat completion.
Astral on Black Swan (maybe).
Astral count is pretty low a trial that can easily fail at the last stage. -
Need all but AP and probably Kings.
Thanks a ton for running this.
