No, the most annoying part of the Midnight Arc is crafting the wand, when you have auto completed your missions, whilst being duo'd by a higher lvl character. They receive the salvage, you don't. You can still get into the club, get the badges etc... but you have to send a petition to get your lost craft mission removed...... bah!!!

so maybe even unlock it with the Tourist badge? (collect 10 badges)
[/ QUOTE ]I can see where you are going with this, but the Tourist badge wouldn't be the best option. Firstly, most people (veterans definitely) get the tourist badge on rolling a new alt. Heroside, I currently get 16 badges for each new one. Secondly, villains don't get the badge... Maybe Explorer would be a better requisite
and Nice OP Valkryst btw. Good suggestion! -

And Hardrider through your toys out the pram FTW mate! only telling you cos I love you though don't shoot the messenger.
[/ QUOTE ]
Eh? What on earth are you talking about? Hardrider made a perfectly reasonable "don't like it, so no" post.
[/ QUOTE ]As Standoff pointed out Alphane, why did you specifically pick Hardrider out, when others (including myself) stated earlier in the thread, that we were totally opposed to an increase, and have our feet firmly in the "NO" camp.
Anyone that seriously believes that CoX will have a level cap rise to 60, must be mental, illusional or both. This MMORPG is different to the others (previously) stated, and has done well in maintaining it's identity. Changing the cap, giving us more slots, more powers etc... wil destroy the core of this game.
Bored of saying this, but many people fell that getting to lvl 50 is all about the journey, and not the endgame (like WoW). My sense of achievement will only be totally satisfied when I have one of each AT (tanker/scrapper etc at lvl 50), and even then I still wouldn't want a lvl cap increase. -
Bridger? - who?
Kerensky? - toddled off back to the German boards
GhostRaptor? - an aussie import!! probably will stay for a year or so, then continue his around-the-world trip.
Aero_? - DTWT completely took control of him, and he forgot how to play the game at all. only joking mate -
Well done boys!!

There are two patents that this thread proves would both make me independantly wealthy:
1. A machine for converting the power of toxic internet bickering into productive energy, and
2. A way of stabbing people in the face across the internets.

use /hide to block tells, if it's frustrating you
I spend a lot of my time talking to friends, who may not be on my team, an insta-lockout would be beyond frustrating. If it's getting to you, /hide_search and /hide_tells do the job perfectly well
/unsigned
[/ QUOTE ]Not frustrated exactly, but I'm more than likely to get a PM beg request when in the middle of a fight. Was just trying to find a solution that would work but not disrupt the game too much.
Using the /hide_tells function is worthless, as all I want to do is filter out team invite requests when the team is full, thus not needing extra members.
I never use hide_search as I don't not want to be found. I often solo, but will always join teams when asked generally.
It just bugs me when people can't use the search function properly. I have lost count of the amount of times I have received a PM from a player asking to join my team, when I am soloing.
[ QUOTE ]
If leader star is implemented on search screen then the star could appear red for a full team rather than gold
[/ QUOTE ] Having 2 different coloured stars for leaders may work for people who know what they mean, but I guarantee the leader of a full team will still get requests from players asking to join, when there is no room.
[ QUOTE ]
Hello do you have a slot in your band of fellow good men for me?
I'm solo right now, can I be with you?
[/ QUOTE ]Ok, these would get through the filter, from the words I suggested earlier. But that wasn't a definitive list, and as everyone knows there is always a loop hole in any system, it's just a matter of limiting the holes.
Maybe in Summary... there should be an icon added to the search function that shows when players are locked into a team. Which would include trials, strikeforces or task forces... which should prevent people sending PMs asking for an invite. -

If somebody told me not to use Rage, and I play an EA Brute, I would tell them where to go (politely of course). I know my toon and it is down to me to 'manage' my crashes. It irks me when I hear people telling others not to use powers.
[/ QUOTE ]Agree with you wholeheartedly BM. Rage is integral to my survivability on my SS/EA Brute. Hit them, before they hit you back, is my motto.
If my defence does become a problem, we've always got "Overloaded" to get us out of a jam. I took advice from other players on that power, as didn't have it slotted brilliantly. Now it has 3 Recharge IOs in it.

Oh and on topic, I added my first ever player to Global Ignore a fortnight ago and I've been playing almost 3 years. So, in my experience abusive players are few and far between. Maybe it's because of this that they really stand out when you do come across one?
[/ QUOTE ]Likewise, only had 1 until recently, now have 2. Both these players turned a debate into an argument then into a slanging match, which lead to /ignore.
If I get to the point where I start getting angry, annoyed, abused or ignored.. then I just quit the team, and move on.
To add onto FFM's point, I also think that PvP sucks IMO, but that may be because a) I'm rubbish at it b)I can't be bothered to make a toon with a PvP build rather than a PvE one and c) Griefing (even though that is much better now than it was before)... but I digress too much.
I think the OP needs to look at how they approach the game, as well as the reactions they get. It takes 2 people to argue, so you can't be 100% innocent.
This thread would have been locked long ago, had Ghostraptor been around. -
Ok, there are some flaws in that suggestion, granted.
Perhaps then, there should be a tab added to search function, that shows a symbol next to a players name that is already in a full team of 8. Or perhaps an automatic team hide when the team is full, so that global friends can still contact you, but random people can't.
[edit]I was also trying to imply that people outside the team can't PM you, not that every PM is ignored. Team members should be free to PM each other whilst teaming, as before[/edit] -
Ok, it has been suggested before that team leaders should be starred in the search function. Or that extra tabs can be added to show what ATs leaders are looking for? etc...
My suggestion is :- When a team invites an 8th member, there should be an automatic lock out? This would work by excluding PMs for any team member, that contained the following words? [u]lft, room, join, team, free or space[u] as it gets frustrating trying to politely say no free slots whilst fighting during a tf etc.
This would stop any questions like :-
I'm looking for a team
Can I join your team, lvl ??? (AT)
Do you have any free spaces
Any room in your team for a (AT)
As soon as 1 or more people leave, the lock is removed. -
It has been suggested so many times in the past, but no harm in suggesting again. Persistance is the key to getting the devs to meet our demands! A better search function would be much better.
-
The point I was making, which you have quoted badly. Is that higher levels will lead to more grinding, especially for alts that have been at 50 for ages. The best way of getting xp fast is powerleveling or farming...!
I don't personally like either, but I'm not saying that no-one should do it, just that I don't. -
[ QUOTE ]
So does anyone else want the lvl cap increased to lvl 60?
[/ QUOTE ]NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO and NO.
Next you'll be asking for the drop system to be changed to a l33t basis. If you want higher level content, go play WoW.
There is plenty of stuff to do post 50. My original 50 still hasn't completed everything, after almost 900 hours on patrol. I still have story arcs open, haven't got any complete purple sets, still got 70+ badges to get etc.....
And the main point, as soon as lvl 60 content is granted, when does lvl 70 then get asked for, then lvl 80. Getting to 50 for most people is a challenge, getting to 60, 70 or 80 is something completly different.... and can only lead to more people powerleveling or farming... Do you really want to make this game a grindfest, rather than an enjoyable journey!!!!
[edit]PS. I completely agree with Nightmarer. More levels = less players, by at least 2. [/edit] -
Opened this thread expecting it to be from a villain. I can't believe that a lvl 33 hero can't find any PvE missions that are not police band orientated. Never ever had this problem, and spend time both soloing and teaming.
As mentioned before you need to clear some old story arcs, as you always get introduced to new contacts, from old contacts blue side. Only on villains are you forced to get paper missions to unlock the first contact for each zone. -

Sorry I couldn't make it tonight.... but up for any tf you want to do saturday pm?? -
Due to the lack of interest for these tf's, I will not be running them. Will try and organise something else ingame.
-
It just shows that if you actually try something, it might actually work.
I too was under the impression that police band/paper missions couldn't be dropped, and had done countless ones with green or grey enemies, until I tried to drop one and realised I actually could. -
When I actually managed to get a support account, I must admit that the service they provided on this occasion was first class. Many Thanks GM Max!

But I agree with the OP entirely... except that this is the first MMORPG that I've played and probably the last, and still going strong... 36 months veteran in 6 days time..!
Afterthought - Will probably have a look at Champions Online when that gets released! -

I was trying that with a @live.co.uk address, and finally got a support account generated, so I eventually got to ask my question. I just hope the answer is what I want to hear?

[ QUOTE ]
The "Ask a Question" page IS the direct link to support. However, you can easily create a new support account as they're different from your PlayNC or game one. Try making a new support account and getting hold of them that way.
[/ QUOTE ]Yeah, I wish!
Filled in the starting form, putting a new email address into the first box, then proceeded to fill in all other details, then I clicked "continue" where it says "when you are done....", went through to the next screen, filled in those boxes, clicked on the final button and it says "that email already exists on file"...
How can it when I have just opened it, and no-one else has that email address obviously.....
Getting very frustrated with PlayNC's support option, which is a pile of [censored].... -
I am now at Defcon2
I think that I reset my original password, to one of my standard passwords that I use for internet activites.
I could not "ask a question" on the support account page, as it said I already had an account. I then (wish I hadn't in hindsight) managed to change my password, but I think that it isn't being sent to my old email address, that is now discontinued. I am now in big poo poo... can anyone supply a direct link for support please....
