See, this is what happens when you let a woman out of the kitchen. They come in all willy nilly and derail threads. Next thing you know we are looking of videos of robots and a hairy dood. I stand by my negative rep. -
Try editing the original post title.

OP, I would suggest to you that instead of ranting about bugs/undocumented changes, perhaps you should provide detailed bug reports so the devs can address your complaints, rather than rambling about irrelevant topics and calling the devs out for non-existent shadiness.
I'm still completely unclear on what the issues with the Hess TF are because instead of describing the problem in detail, you chose to make every other sentence an attack on the devs.
Try rereading it. He references this post: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showt...highlight=hess as the description of the bugs.
However his point wasn't the problems but that any changes that were made weren't being communicated during beta so that it could be properly tested.
Of course any criticism of the developers is called an attack. One thing you learn when taking art classes is how to take and actually encourage critiques so that you can examine your work and make it better. That's something some people might keep in mind.
The other thing some might consider there are different definitions for exploit but none of which refer to MMO's
1 : to make productive use of : utilize <exploiting your talents> <exploit your opponent's weakness>
2 : to make use of meanly or unfairly for one's own advantage <exploiting migrant farm workers>
The only definition regarding online gaming i found was this one from www.reference.com. So until the developers define what they consider an exploit in this game no one else should. Of course that was one of the arguments when the whole Meow thing happened but i won't get into that.
Quote:Exploit (online gaming)
In the realm of online games, an exploit is usually a software bug, hack or bot that contributes to the user's prosperity in a manner not intended by the developers.
What is or is not considered an exploit varies between games and developers. The EULA (End-User License Agreement) typically states what type of gameplay is not acceptable. Thus, some developers may consider AFK gameplay to be an exploit, while others may not.
Known types of exploits in MMORPG
Speed Hacking/Teleporting/Subterrain Travel - If character position in an MMORPG is determined by the client side (usually not the case), it is possible for players to send out artificial positional data and be instantly transported to any part of the world or used to speed up traveling speed by increasing positional deltas.
Holes - Some games may contain accidental holes in the map, allowing the player to get under the map. Holes are mostly harmless, although some use them in player vs. player situations to sneak around and get behind their opponent.
Botting - A player who runs a third party program to control their character. The bot will kill monsters, loot money, mine ore, collect herbs or gain levels automatically without the player having to be in front of the computer.
Duping - Duplicating, or replicating items or money.
Game Mechanics Exploits / Bug Exploits - There are also other exploits involving the physics of the game, sometimes in conjunction with items. This includes using wall-walking to get into unfinished areas or abilities to make one's character unattackable by mobs or other players and sometimes are able to attack back.
Data Mining - Players will try to access files not yet in game and then host them on websites to expose content not yet released (usually new zones, items, and graphics).
Consequences of exploitation
Depending on the EULA and the severity of the exploit, developers may do anything from simply removing the exploited material from the game, to reprimanding the players, or banning their accounts. There are only occasional rare cases of an exploiter being threatened with legal action.
Miscellaneous
Most companies involved in the development or maintenance of online games forbid their employees from sharing information about known exploits or bugs. Doing so is sometimes considered an exploit but is more often merely a vector by which other exploits are shared.
Crap i forgot I am a girl and so i don't belong here. -

(Arwen, you may want to add the date and time to the OP...well, if you're still able to edit the OP that is!) -
I was told that if they get killed you don't get the Temp power from the Machine to use on Reichsmen. I supose if you didn't have the AT who gets this Temp on your team it wouldn't matter though.

Did you do this yet Arwen? If not I need these on Philly (emp/dark)

I think they settled on powers within 5 levels of the lvl you EX to.. and you can still get XP within that range as well.. if I understand it correctly. Any powers higher than that will still be unavailable like before.
Also, to add to the list:
You cannot summon an Ouroboros Portal while EX'd. The animation will play, but no portal will appear. If you quit your team and become un-EX'd, the portal will suddenly appear where you had just clicked a minute ago. It's quite spooky.
Actually I moved away from where i clicked (far away) and it appeared in front of me when i quit team. -
Got to love the men of Justice
Pum you can exploit me any time you want......
OMG I got the best negative rep ever for this post!

Pum, in your next rant could you include these topics:
1) The inability to use Oro , shivans , temps when exed down.
2) Master of badges fighting AVs at 49, (STF, RSF). That so cheapens it for those that put hours in to get that badge. Or is this like Little League now and everyone gets a badge for participating. For the record i don't care about badges, it still must suck for those who do and have went to great lengths to get them.
3) Bypass of the cutscreens or give us merits for watching it. A couple hundred times and i think i have it.
4) When the leader isnt the in the same zone, the missions scales to the first person in mission settings.
5) Why is this Cho guy so darn smexy? Why does he never call the next day ;.;?
You forgot:
6) Why is that Toona guy such a Dewsh

That is all
I want whatever it is that you took......... -
I can't decide if your avatar is in bad taste or if that is the girl in me being overly sensitive.....
Also freedom is an eastcost server so work and school is where people are. -
Who are you again?

How about free cheessteak lunches at work, and they gave us softpretzels and tastycakes too!
It was yummy. -
Just as another thought since it was only one person attacking you maybe get a base buff before you enter zone and have some greens on you, and try fighting back you might actually like it.

Plus with new issues you always see extra maintance to fix bugs etc. Today's also includes the tailor tokens. Give it a week or two to go back to just mon and fri.
