Quote:Exploit does not necessarily mean it will trigger Marty. So just because Marty doesn't trigger, doesn't mean it's not an exploit.Originally Posted by shaggy5
Yes, but what are these said exploits. I guess I am saying that since a high xp farm is not considered an exploit (by the nature of MARTy not being triggered), then what the heck IS the exploit? It seems it would have to be pretty major and pretty awesome. (er, I guess I don't mean awesome, or do I?)
For one thing, I seem to recall someone mentioned a range (a dev OR Arcanaville I want to say) a 1-10 minute reward lockout.Quote:Originally Posted by The_Spad_EU
Don't even bother. I've being seeing this all week in the global channels, it's like the ******* Respec Glowies all over again; "I did X and it triggered MARTy", "I did Y and it didn't trigger MARTy", "If you trigger MARTy you can't get XP for 24 hours" and so on.
I've had to start ignoring people because it winds me up no end listening to their uninformed ******** about how their farming has definitely been stopped by MARTy and it's all a conspiracy by the devs to force them out of the game. -
Quote:You mean the one that hit me, and simply updating my password fixed it? That "THe forums were down all week" issue?Originally Posted by Shadowpuff
(Late reply because forum access was down for the past week. It could be viewed as a convenient bug that quieted the noisy and restless, but I'm not that paranoid...)
First of all, when they made AE, they told us not to farm - unless you're referring to something else about it not making sense to talk about "immoral" use of the game?Quote:
It's my private belief that this game could have been greater, and had the potential to explode in population at various points in the past. Certain decisions, like looking down on how some players used AE, have hurt their bottom line. In a game allowing us to play as villains in an environment created by an in-game villain, they clamp down on "improper" or "unintended" use of game systems? Who cares how they're having fun, as long as they continue to pay to play. In a fantasy environment, it doesn't make a lot of sense to talk about "immoral" use of what the game makes available. The pretend money doesn't matter as long as the real money keeps rolling in.
And for the most part, the Devs have only really cracked down on exploits in the AE. Normal farms do get nulled by the GMs, but usually only after being reported. TO be honest, I think fire farms have only lasted this long because of a) i21 being in Beta, and b) they want to work out a good way to null that style of AE abuse without nerfing people playing normally.
And while not all farmers are such : there are plenty that don't understand that AE does not mean "Farm" - half the reason I am iffy with the AE is people who invite those looking for "AE arcs" then get pissed when said invited one leaves the farm. -
Quote:Ah, because you are such a unique and special snowflake that it doesn't matter if others have the same issue as you did?Originally Posted by Gospel_NA
Forgive me for not forgiving you. Those searches came up with either no results or nothing I could find in the first few pages.
I also, guess I was simply to suppose to randomly come across one of your posts somewhere and discover your guide.
My question was answered quickly and politely by others and I thank them for it. Your "help" wasn't needed or wanted the way you put it.
Furthermore, your post, now, is only good for someone else having the same problem in the future.
Too bad you couldn't do it without the condescension.
Anyway, the Guide to Guides is pretty good at listing the guides in Player Guides. -
Off the top I want to say no. But next time you level up a controller, see if it mentions the double damage when messed in the detailed power descriptions.
-
If you check out the Commuinty Digest, they mention that a) they know about it, and b) they should have it fixed this week.

Quote:All three attacks - Spring Attack, Shield Charge, and Lightning Rod - work the same way. All three teleport you to the location (Animations may vary, but the actual effect is a teleport) and then you drop a Psuedopet which launches the attack portion of the power.Originally Posted by Redlynne
Last I heard, Stalkers were commenting on how Spring Attack wouldn't break Hide ...
As such, you don't attack and so you don't break hide. You do cause agro though. -
It sounds like in addition to Pilgrim being confused, he's not seeing the 15-20 bracket of Flashback arcs. That would be a bug. Let us know if they show up when you hit 25.

The store is good at marking premium unlocks as "VIP Content" in the description.
-
And technically the majority of those powers are "Inherent" not temp.
Except for ranged brawl, they need to move that one anyway. -
Quote:Probably a carry over from how we refer to Pri/Sec powers. I know I personally try to avoid "tier" with power pools.Originally Posted by warden_de_dios
That's the way it was described in the original game manual (which I can't find) but the Patch notes have started using the word Tier when they should just be using the word Power.
All pool powers have a prerequisite. Tier 1 only has the prequiste that you can't have already chosen 4 power pools. Tier 2 you must have chosen a Teir 1 from the same power pool. Tier 3 you must have chosen 2 powers from Teirs 1 or 2.
The devs just added 4 brand new Tier 3 powers to the game but for some reason these all got named Tier 5 Powers in the patch notes.
As far as referring to the first and second powers as T1 or as T1 and T2 - in this game, very few powersets (Master Mind Pets, Dominator Assualt, and Blaster Manipulation) are not only shared by ATs, but as primary for one and secondary for the other. As such, we've always use "Tier" to refer to the "Power number" since power choosing differs in primary and secondary sets. -
Incarnates is not considered part of Going Rogue (even though it requires Going Rogue) - and while you have access to Demon Summoning and Electric Control, you must have MMs and Controllers unlocked to play them with those powersets (However, they are "VIP" powersets, so if you had not had GR prior to freedom, you would of had to pay to have those sets unlocked in addition to requiring the Controller MM unlock)
-
There was a one-time grant of two extra global slots, IIRC, back when they first became available. As far as I know, they were granted to all non-trial accounts.
For example, as a 7 year vet I have 7 anniversary slots, 2 "thank you slots" and two GR slots that I've obtained. (plus the bought slots). -
The powers can be buffed, is the common term.
-
There is an "Earn XP" option in the Menu-> Options window. If you are worried about outleveling the content, disable it at... what, 9, 14, 19 I think it is for praetoria/

Quote:Because when you need to do a critical patch, the time when the least number of people affected is always when the patch becomes available to you? Lucky you.Originally Posted by Captiosus
If they were the best dev team, they'd understand you don't pull down live servers when it's day time across all of North America, and peak hours in Europe. Network Engineering 101. Yep, they're coming in on a Saturday - should that give them extra credit? No. I've spent many a Friday night/early Saturday morning/early Sunday morning fixing network issues, updating servers, or running full and/or incremental backups. It's part of my salary. It's also part of my salary to do these things when the least number of people are affected.
The teams have been going nuts all week. Some, many of them, have family. And kids. Earlier in the month when Z was posting at night, he was apparently at work, not posting from home.
Unless you want the people applying critical fixes to be running on less than four hours of sleep when applying the patch.
And for all we know, half the reason they chose 9AM Pacific is because that lets them patch /after/ it's cleared some kind of testing script that takes a while to run. -

Thank you for the kind words.

Quote:Part of it is because new zones are easier. You do realized were were people upset to lose the old Faultline, right? It had some very unique visuals in it.Originally Posted by Techbot Alpha
True.
However, he is the only one I can remember *repeatedly* doing things like nay-saying revamps instead of new shinies (I know Melissa did say it once or twice, but was nowhere near as resistant to the idea)
And hey, this is the Internet! SOMEONE has to be to blame! -

Can you post a link to the acknowledgement? I think everyone I know is frothing angry about the possiblity of NOT being able to get on to the new server when they go live

And Yet the exploration badge does not make that assumption. Since you can only get the explore by being there by your logic they shouldn't need to explain the secret for that either.
I want to go back to the fair, I was scheduled for the Drinking contest over by the dance area! -
'Twas the night before update, and all through the game
Many heroes were stirring, some with unspeakable names;
The Heavies where standing by the depot with care,
In ready that Praetorians soon would be there;
The Villains were scheming not in their beds,
while visions of plunder danced in their heads.
And Mother in her 'Kini, Cole in his tower,
Made more plots for ever more power.
When up in the skies came such a clatter,
Supers arose to see what was the matter;
Away to Talos they ran like the wind,
Flew to Sharkhead above the Hell Forge's din;
The moon on the green of new grown leaves,
Illuminated quite clearly the ill fate of Steve;
When what to our disbelieving eyes should appear,
Seedling of Hamidon, in Primal, here!
Under orders came here two new Durays,
With yet more Praetorians coming this way;
It's Story Advancing, and with Nemesis Plots,
Because in what mischief, has he his finger in not?
And watch the players in the real word so cruel,
as we dream of Beam blasters while on the pillows we drool.
The market will take our digital cash,
Unless of course the account server does crash.
Will Zee have a chance of sleep, a moment to dream,
before he begins a lengthy Ustream?
In which before the meeting and between some the tangents,
He'll wrangling in a co-host if it requires a dragnet
This poster does ask "Please don't Murder Me",
for it has been a long while since I tired such parody;
But fear not that I shall make a list,
For I am not Steelclaw to take such as risk.
Listen for Miller and War Witch, Avatea and Andy,
Arming themselves with Chai tea and candy;
Throwing the off-switch with the Future in sight,
Wishing Merry Update to All, and to all a Good fight! -

Oh wait, I see what you mean.
I'd rather have the Lunar Cape, though. But if I could have both that wouldn't be bad... (Lunar Cape is where she pulled that out of. Another character in that packs picnic baskets in hers...) -
Healthy Population means one able to support the game and have it grow.
It has that. And the overall population seems to have become fairly stable at a level that is healthy.
Yes, it lost subs while other games gained, but that happens, especially have an expansion (aka "OOOH SHINEY!") is released where you have a bunch of people pick it up an causes a population surge.
