    Those missions labelled as "vigilante" in the Isles progress you towards being a villain. They are villain tips in disguise, like Decepticons.
    OK, thanks for clarifying that. Doesn't make sense, and seems likely to confuse a lot of people though.

    So, basically, I just have to dismiss all these Vigilante only Tips I keep getting when I just want to finish shifting alignment to Villain, then? That's massively annoying and a serious waste of time.
  3. OK, I have a question. I've moved two Heroes to Vigilante status. Prior to shifting alignment, every Tip I received offered me the option to run it as Hero or Vigilante, as expected. Now that I have moved those two heroes to the Rogue Isles, planning on shifting them to Villain now, I am finding that Tips only offer me ONE morality option. Some are Villain and some are Vigilante, with no choice between the two.

    Is that working as intended? I was under the impression that Tips always offered two options.

    Yeah, I don't really see all the new APP's staying the way they are for long.

    I didnt say that the lower pop servers have nothing going on at all times, im sure they have busy times, but if your going to be playing late at night, the server thats going to require the least amount of effort and a much higher chance of getting a random group invite is Freedom because most people are in bed at night.
    Maybe it's because I play on Protector, which is a West coast server, but I've never really noticed a lack of activity at that time. It's still a fair point though.

    I didn't mean to imply that there were not valid concerns about finding teams. The devs have some opportunities there, to increase the ease of putting players together with the teams they are seeking. I think they are taking a decent first step with the changes to the search interface. Hopefully there will be some more improvements coming along soon.

    I just took issue with this, all too common attitude:

    Every other server will be a ghost server during those times once the big rush of GR dies down and the servers return to their natural pop levels.
    Even on Freedom ive many times had to log off in boredom after a half hour of no team invites since its after 9pm.
    This is complete and utter BS. Sure, if all you can do is stand around a zone shouting 'LFT' in broadcast, you'll probably get pretty poor results on most servers. If, however, you put forth a bit of effort, there's plenty of activity on all servers. I can only speak for my own server, Protector, but we have an extremely active & open community and there is no shortage of activity.

    Plus, with GR, we have the new color coding added to the team search interface, makes it even easier to locate teams for players.

    Finally, the single best thing any player can do to increase their teaming opportunities on any server is to join their server's global chat channels. These can easily be found by visiting the server specific sections here on the forum.

    Sorry. Should have said "rant" not "complain"...

    i started playing 2 months ago on Protector,(Red side) I played there for a week! It was Dead!
    I'm pretty sure the couple hundred people on Protector's global channels would disagree with you. Then again, they're probably too busy starting TF's, running Mothership & Hami raids, or putting together all-AT taskforce runs.

    i looked on the forums about population, and saw Freedom and virtue had more players.
    And more players sometimes equals lag and server lockouts.

    subscription ends!!!
    You picked the most crowded server and now you're complaining about it being crowded? How ironic. And predictable.

    Farming is about efficiency. If you're going to do it, don't waste time doing it in a subpar fashion. Broadsword is severely lacking in AOE damage, and while FA will make up for that to some extent, it's still pretty lackluster.

    If farming is really what you want to do, I would strongly suggest picking a more agriculturally friendly combination.

    Spines scrappers (Fire, Dark, Elec), Fire/SD or Elec/SD scrappers, Fire/Rad or Fire/Kin controllers are all valid possibilities to consider. There are several Dominator and Brute combinations that work quite well also.

    That's pretty interesting, since Mark Hamill was sitting next to Lucas at SC:V and introduced the clip himself. So, either your posted article is way wrong, or Mark Hamill decided to lie to all the fans at Celebration.

    I know which one I'd be betting on..

    Oh, wait. I can't. Because I can't access any of my slots to create a new character...

    gg devs!
  20. I'd probably be enjoying it more if i could actually access Praetoria, instead of losing all my extra character slots and not being able to create a new Praetorian character.

    Ya know, the whole reason they capped the team search to only showing a max of 50 players, is so people can't see how dead all the servers really are now...
  22. I was at Star Wars Celebration V when the announcement was made, and the deleted scene was very cool. The way it was shot really creates the impression that Luke might turn to the darkside.

    Not that it really matters, but it doesn't seem right to dis a guy for something he's not responsible for, since he genuinely seems to always want to do the right thing.
    Isn't Synapse the 'rewards' dev?
