I approve of this topic.

This. ^^

All of your suggestions are /signed by me.

Ok Lionsbane. Here's a point for you:

A group of six people are teaming - three Level 50s, three Level 49s (Auto-mentored).

One of the Level 50s DCs in the mission. When the mission ends, the other two Level 50s log off. The 49s are reverted to their natural levels. Oh look! We have the situation your trying so adamantly to get rid of.

Also, most people are in SGs these days. All you need is the base teleporter or a local SG Portal.

Your sarcastic tone isnt appreciated and makes you look pretty pathetic.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit and I revel in it.

[ QUOTE ]
To answer your point it took me all of three seconds to suggest they cap the xp relative to their level, like now. How many lowbies in the team are irrelevant from that point of view.

[/ QUOTE ]

If your system was implemented, people would still be able to power-level. They'd gain EXP relevant to their natural level. A +3 is a +3 regardless = EXP galore.

[ QUOTE ]
And you really think a full team of lowbies with only one or two 50s in there are gonna stand up for very long in a 50s mission?

[/ QUOTE ]

One Granite Tanker. One Kineticist. Pretty doable.

[ QUOTE ]
Firstly, not everyone thinks like you apparently do and secondly,

[/ QUOTE ]

Firstly, don't talk like you know me.

[ QUOTE ]
it would have to be balanced high and low just to give the low levels a decent chance of survival. Not everyone is a cookie cutter you know. So, if 7 lowbies want to jump on a 50s mission, good luck to em.

[/ QUOTE ]

Secondly, balanced to give them more survival? What are you talking about? If someone is SKed by a Level 50, they have the HP, damage output, resistance etc. as if they were Level 49. Why would it need balancing if they were auto-mentored to Level 49?

[ QUOTE ]
then the best they could be is like now 49. So what?
Thats no different to now is it? I'm not suggesting we reinvent the wheel here. Im suggesting this may be a way of makimng the current SK system smoother and more user friendly.

[/ QUOTE ]

You also mentioned preventing PLing. If the above happened, PLing would still happen.

[ QUOTE ]
I dont have an issue with you not thinking its a good idea (although your examples of wy not are tissue thin) I dont appreciste your patronising tone though.

[/ QUOTE ]

I did not mean to come across as patronising. I do apologise.

[ QUOTE ]
Eh? What happened there? It didnt register and now it does?

Besides who the heck cares about a question mark? Crikey some of you really stretch the limits of pure pedantic nonsense. Can those of you who are like that please stay away?

[/ QUOTE ]

I wasn't bothered about the question mark. Golden Girl was. Don't aim her trolling at me.

[ QUOTE ]
Is it possible that the intellegent posters, the ones who dont jump at every opportunity to be sarcastic or to knock someone else, please post?

[/ QUOTE ]

I am a sarcastic person. Live with it. I am not knocking you. I am voicing my opinion and you don't like it.

[ QUOTE ]
Or nort? But the wasters? Please stay away, Cause you are a drain on these boards you really are.

[/ QUOTE ]

I voiced my opinion therefore I have committed no crime. I also provided an argument for my opinion and you didn't like it so you're getting into a flap.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
If people were auto-mentored they'd still be able to power-level themselves. <insert Level 50 here> invites a load of low levels into a Level 53 mission. All the lowbies are then in EXP galore. Would it be any different from now? Nope.

[/ QUOTE ]

What are you talking about? You honestly think that the devs couldnt compensate for that?

[/ QUOTE ]

How could they? Put a restriction on the number of lowbies you can invite to a team? Oh! But wouldn't that kill the teaming spirit?

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
As for being mentored one level below the Threat Level of the enemies, the Level cap is 50 so that wouldn't be possbible (I think).

[/ QUOTE ]

Every single idea that ever came out of this planet has downsides that you have to adjust certain things for. Adjusting to prevent other forms of griefing wouldnt be rocket science. Why give me an easily correctable downside?
The idea is to encourage better teaming with your friends and stop the frustration of being dumped when SKed now.

[/ QUOTE ]

I do not recall saying it was griefing. The level cap is 50 therefore it is not possible to be mentored one level below a Level 53 enemy. The only way to get around that would be to raise the Level Cap but that ain't happening any time soon.

[ QUOTE ]
What on earth is wrong with that?

[/ QUOTE ]

I never said there was anything wrong with preventing SK dumping. I just don't agree with your idea. There's a difference.

What the heck was that? You saying its a good idea If so why? You saying its a bad idea? If so, why?

Why bother to even go to the keyboard then to reply just to say something like that?

What is your point?

[/ QUOTE ]

He's saying its only your opinion, so he's not going to get worked up about it. Saying something else too, but i don't want to point it out. You might get in a flap.

surely asking for more songs about Cox is just asking for censorship issues

Ahaha! Now that is so original.

Oh! I like this! Well done, Luke!

[ QUOTE ]
I console myself on the first point that it must be okay to ignore these street crimes. After all, members of the Freedom Phalanx stand around various parts of the city doing just that all the time!

[/ QUOTE ]

If the Freedom Phalanx can do it, we can too!

Anything you can do, I can do better. I can ignore a woman being mugged better than you.

No you can't!

Yes I can!

No you can't!

... yeah.

Since this a Task Force thread, I have to ask:

How come when a team of eight Level 50s does the LGTF etc. all the enemies are Level 49?

It's always baffled me.

Happy Birthday Ethan!

How the hell is he dead?

[/ QUOTE ]

Spoiler... unless you've read the comic: He dies of heart failure... or at least that's how it looks.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's actually true. Just checked. Poor guy.

EDIT: Since we're talking about Ouroboros, I could raise the argument that Ms. Liberty should never have been born.

SPOILERS!

In the Villain TF given to you by Mender Tesseract she asks you to assassinate President Marchand. When you get to him, he teleports away and you're left fend off Liberation Lass's mother - Miss Liberty. Now, if memory serves me, she doesn't have a mediport on her because we acquired that technology from the Rikti and at the time of Marchand's assassination they hadn't invaded. Theoretically, when you fight Miss Liberty she cannot port away as she doesn't have a mediport. Therefore, she should have died, preventing her from having Ms. Liberty. Of course, Ms. Liberty could have already been born. But in Miss Liberty's lore it should be said that she was killed defending President Marchand.

Debate!

Can I nominate Alhpane for his cool avatar?

The Avatar!

I deserve my own Forum Title - The Awesomely "Happy" One!

[/ QUOTE ]

I wouldv gone with a different title for you personally

Now back onto topic This is why i love this game so much, it doesnt matter if you know the person or not you can have friendly banter and everyone just plays along xD

The community and our dev/mods are the reason this game has lasted so long. Has a family feel to it xD

[/ QUOTE ]

What title would you have given me, Damzy love?

And I - as well - am glad that everyone on here can have a laugh. If you were all a bunch of stiffs - teehee - why... I dread to think what I would do.

I'm beginning to wonder if "The love that dare not speak it's name" has decided to find a megaphone and take over this thread, but I can assure you Rapthorn - you are not alone!

Actually, I seem to remember a few years ago someone set up an LGBT supergroup, my memory's a bit sketchy but the name "Rainbow Warriors" springs to mind. Actually - That's given me an idea, but that's a topic for another thread and I'll stop derailing this one - Sorry to the OP!

[/ QUOTE ]

This thread is derailed anyway. Care to share your idea?

What would be the point in advertising in Greece? there is no greek localisation, no greek GMs, Greece has a tiny population anyway. Face it, you aint worth thier while.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's a bit harsh. Blunt, but harsh.

They have long recharges and don't last nearly as long as the single-target holds. In the time it takes for the AoE hold to recharge, you could hold each mob in a group of enemies with your single-target hold. AoE holds - to me - are pretty situational. Also, the enemy doesn’t usually survive long enough for the effect to be of any use.

Who's company am I in? Yours?

And I believe the love you're referring to is... Man Love.

Oh, I like the sound of that. Very useful indeed.
