There's still the slight possibility it could happen
There's the slight possibility the devs could find the time and resources
There's the possibility people would be willing to spend money to upgrade to enjoy the game moar

And believe me you really don't want to go advertising you get away with pirating something like 3D Studio Max, I believe AutoDesk currently runs an anti-piracy initiative to grass Illegal users up for rewards of up to $26,000.

Of course Its their own fault because the outragious price they charge for an official copy of 3d Studio Max is criminal in itself, (and they only get away with it because it is established as an Industry standard).

I never advertised i did anything, just suggesting.

Now before any of you suggest people with CRAPPY (for lack of a bettter term) computers, let me say i'm just putting the suggestion in the open.

Here goes. Can we have a graphical overhaul PLOX!? I know it would take lots of man hours and design time that could be better spent on other things, but maybe when NCNC has some spare time and isn't nerfing things or ruining the game further.

I like the textures in the game, i already run it at full GFX with everything at 200% and all the AA and antisitropic filtering, but i want MOAR!!!!!!

Is there any possibility we can have uber HD and sharp textures rehashed for every surface/costume in the game? (i know this suggestion coming to life is a probably like 0.0000001 but still)

I think this game could compete with some of the big players out there in the eye-candy MMO ring even better if this happened.

I know it's unlikely to happen as it would take so much investment in design and human resources, and most people wouldn't even benefit because their PCs can barely run the game on moderate gfx settings, but it'd be nice.

Even new players know what's farming and what isn't though, mainly because people in the teams will efer to it either as farming or normal levelling respectively.

But i do try to help new players where i can

You do realize anything on the internet can be obtained for free right? I havn't tried 3D modelling personally, but i do work in photoshop.

It was made obvious extremely quickly that you don't agree with any of these ideas. Thats fine, there will always be good idea's and bad ideas. These were obviously some of the bad ones...

I do not however need anyone putting anybody down, calling their suggestions pointless or anything else. None of the suggestions are pointless as their is a reason for every suggestion made (whether they are good or bad)

So i would kindly ask for you to get off of your high horse and just say they are a bad idea, instead of calling the post pointless.
Thanks

You've misconstrued what i said. I never called your suggestions pointless, i said those 2 posts i quoted were pointless, due to the fact you were both assuming new players act in exactly that way when they don't.

You were both talking as if this supposed new player was ignorant of the difference between farming and normal levelling, when in actual fact very few, if any new players are.

What i was tryintg to get at is, the hypothetical reasoning behind those posts is VERY unlikely to be an actual situation, so there was no need to make a point of it.

People who have picked up the game, and are struggling, will still know what farming is, and it generaly applies to the same situation no matter the MMO.

If you do something that gets you alot of EXP over again, you can call it farming. This way, even the newest COV player can start levelling themselves up without actually playing the game (which i would advise against)

However, after having levelled 1-50 the conventional way so you understand the game and can play it well, you should be allowed to farm on your other toons, because you already know the nuances of the game, and aren't a n00b so to speak, which was my point.

Heyman : Yeah sure
*team invite sent*

Heyman : Peregrine Island....
X : How do i get there?
Heyman : Through Ouroborus is the quickest way
X : Whats that?
Heyman (now quite angry as it becaome obvious he mostly powerlevled in MA): Okay scrap that, go through steel canyonn and then to talos island and take the ferry.
X: Umm, how to i get to Steel?
Heyman : Have you ever left atlas park??
X: No
*X has been kicked from your team*

And this is making the situation better how? This guy, who is most probably on his first toon, will not be encouraged to team outside of the MA if thats how people treat him. You would have been better to have encouraged him and shown him how to get there, explained the benefits of regular missions etc, so that he learns for his next toon and in encouraged to stick around a little.

Okay, point definitly recived and understood so.

These posts are pretty much pointless. Not even the most hardcore MMORPG players get into a new game they discover and start powerlevelling straight away.

I was a veteran lineage 2 player for 3 years before playing COV, who grinded up characters to lvl 76/80 easily and faster than most people. But when i came into COV as a fresh and new player, did i start farming? No. I knew it existed of course, and whenever i got offers i turned them down because i knew i wanted to learn to play the game the right way.

People aren't stupid, and this 'encouraging' bullcrap doesn't help anything. Players know they need to learn to play the game the right way before farming, which is exactly how most people do it. If you are already a pro at the game, or experienced, then farming on a 2nd toon is ok.

No worries mate, i hope the build is what your after.
Shannon makes an extremely good point, which i have quoted below, and its definitly worth taking it into consideration.

[/color]<blockquote><font class="small">En réponse à:[/color]<hr />

I would read what each end red does in every toggle to know where the best end reds are to go but sometimes you have to think about how often a power is used and go with that first and foremost so a high end power like lightning storm used every 50 secs could be more of a drainer than constantly used or more frequently used powers.

Good point xP i'll definately be careful when slotting end redux.

In terms of number of COUNTRIES, does English win then?

So basically you want to put the game on easy mode, no thanks.

I don't think farming needs to be stopped, unless it becomes abusive like with the MA and rikti farms.So don't bother trying to 'stop' farming because you, just like every other developer of every mmorpg that has ever, is currently in, and will ever be in existence, will fail.

And that would retroactively punish the players who DO game socially, and to be with their friends. Turning off exp after a certain amount of levels is another cause of people to stop playing that we don't need, so no thanks.

My friend shade who's from venezuela just plays union and joins one of the many spanish speaking channels. Unify them at once!!

Besides, english IS the majority of the language on this game, not to mention the entire world, followed closely by spanish and chinese (correct me if i'm wrong on that)

but INGAME, the majority do seem to speak english, so germans and frenchies and the other nationalities should be encouraged to mix with us instead of seperating us on the basis we don't speak the same language.

If for every english speaking person there was 2 german speakers or spanish, then yes the language barrier would become a problem, but as it stands it simply isn't the case, and probably never will be.

I also think heavies are fine, and i want to make a point of people either avoiding them, working as a team to take them out (whenever there is enough) or just tactically retreating.

Running in and getting killed and then complaining doesn't help anything. The only guy that ever ran in guns a-blazin and survived was Rambo.

Or get your own heavy. It's not like the field isn't equal.

So NCSoft's CEO Chung screwed up and committed fraud and negligent misrepresentation, he then gets demoted, and because of this the parent company are moving their subsidiary company closer to home?

Yeah, if the koreans can't take the heat of the western market, keep their games in korea. Although CoX is a more westernized game than say, Lineage 2, 2moons, silkroad, rohan, 9 dragons.

All equipment based games too

and before anyone wants to mention it, world of warcraft sucks.

I'd appreciate help in mids, so thanks!

Well as for the levels they've been taken at, i'm planning this build as if i'm already lvl 50, and going to respec, that way i don't have to limit myself when planning what i'm taking and when; i can just slot anything i want how i want.

Thanks for the assault and tactics tip, is the damage boost they get significant?

Is there any specific sets i should be advised on considering in moves?

Ah yes, this is it, thanks forsaken.

let this be a lesson to the devs, don't neglect villains, SOME people still like it.

Once again i'd like to thank you if i could base my widow build off of this. It's very ambitious, and very powerful, and creative with the sets and bonuses, and i like that.

Linky

Edit - this should work pretty well as a levelling build - I have levelled taking powers in that order and sticking to the number of slots on that build, though I have been frankenslotting with cheap IO sets as I said. I have had some end issues, but nowhere near as bad as my Mace/SR brute (which is L31 currently).

[/ QUOTE ]

Thanks, this is a really good build!

Thanks, i'll look at slotting def on the protectors and the mace patron. Although i can't say i'm experienced at slotting pets for def, or anything rather, i've never played an mm before xO

Are the powers i've taken OK? Is there anything i should have picked up that's a good idea to have as an MM, or anything i should have omitted?

Hi, i'm trying out what is really my 1st serious MM, and was wondering if i could get help on this basic build i formed in mids. At lvl 50 i'm kind of aiming for an uber MM. I want to be ambitious with the build.

I think i'd like it to include hasten and health and stamina, but other than that if anyone feels i should take a certain power, or get rid of one, or if my slotting sucks feel free to criticise.

I'd like, where possible advice on sets to use. I want to have defence, something i've never really focused on in a build, and to deal tons of damage so i can solo AVs those are my goals.

With that in mind, i present to you my preliminary build. Feel free to contribute or if you find the time, help me improve it in mids. Thanks in advance

Seeing as english is the language we all seem to be speaking, british people pronounce everything correctly, and as for everyone else it's down to accent, or you're just plain wrong.

as for the 'in addition part' i can't verify this The mission is sort of difficult, so i've never really made it to the bottom of the mission.
