Enemy AI has been seriously borked for a while now and we are STILL waiting on a fix, if this is our new smart AI, can we PLEASE go back to the old stupid AI? Cause when a Vampire Lord runs from you even though you chase it down and taunt it CONSTANTLY, and it STILL runs until it disappears, THAT is a problem, not just with the Halloween enemies either, this is a problem ALL enemies seem to have. We should NOT have to use ranged powers just to kill a running enemy, we shouldn't have to wait for them to come back either. I would rather have the old 'stupid' AI back instead of this new 'smart' AI.
Edit: Ok, I was informed that the A.I was never changed, that enemies have an "I'm being griefed" flag, it still does not change the fact that it is still broken, when I morph into Dwarf form on my PB and keep knocking down these enemies, it seems to trigger the flag, as does a high defense character, I say remove the damn flag if you devs can, or fix it asap if you cannot remove it. Enemies constantly running is making me want to go find a different game to spend my money on... -
Quote:Yeah, your right, the OP offered a choice, I was one of the ones wrong here, and yes, I know about comics and weaknesses in comics and that this game was based off comics. Also there is the fact that there already ARE weaknesses in this game, but they are forced onto the playerbase not chosen by them... I take back my earlier statement that this thread is full of fail, I was just a bit upset about playing my Khelds and how after about 4-5 attacks in human form on my 28 WS I am tired, yet I can last slightly longer on my PB, that is my WS weakness, running out of endurance too soon. but it is from a choice I made based on bad advice I got from another WS player that told me I would get Stygian Circle that would let me get endurance and health from the dead bodies of enemies and that I did not need to take fitness because of it. This person was obviously a teamer and did not take into account my playstyle of soloing, cause Stygian Circle helps, but unless you have lots of dead enemies around, you get very little endurance from them, and running out of endurance before I am able to even kill the small mob that I am fighting atm is my WS biggest weakness, which is why she is shelved waiting for I19 and the inherent fitness pool.Originally Posted by Lothic
Yeah pretty much every time someone suggests adding a "Kryptonite" concept to this game the pure MMO players come out of the woodwork claiming the idea that anyone would ever want to willing gimp themselves is borderline insane. Most people who play MMOs are always trying to do anything they can to min/max their characters into god-like Tankmages. The fact that a cornerstone of the comic book genre rests on the concepts of "vulnerabilities" seem to be totally lost on them.
I would never advocate a system of Disadvantages for this game ever be FORCED onto people. This kind of thing should always be 100% OPTIONAL. This is why the void/quant Kheldian thing is generally hated by most people. The Devs tried to introduce a Kryptonite-like weakness on them but they effectively forced everyone to have to deal with it instead of making something like that be optional.
Also plenty of people have mentioned in this thread the idea that many AT/Powerset combos already have built-in vulnerabilities (i.e. stone/fire tanks have serious problems versus psi damage). That's all fine and well. But when people like Next_Player suggest Disadvantage systems they are usually asking for optional choices to allow them to CHOOSE which things they are going to be vulnerable to, not just let the game decide that for them.
I've never really understood why people typically overreact to this suggestion. It's a suggestion for an OPTIONAL QoL improvement, not something that's going to be forced on you if you don't want to challenge yourself. This suggestion goes beyond just a new tool for RP expression - many people (including yours truly) consider this game to generally be very easy to play. Much like the introduction of the Mission Difficulty settings I wouldn't mind challenging myself even further with new optional ways to make things harder. Once again if you're the type of person who'd want to keep playing on "easy mode" with no Disadvantages you'd certainly be able to keep doing that. YMMV. -
This was said in-game by a returning player to me, that one of the things he came back to see is if we could customize our minions. I have not really thought much on this idea until he mentioned it, and I would also like to see it happen, and I am sure it has been mentioned before, but for the life of me I cannot find any posts on it. I am sure a lot of MMs out there would love to make their minions look just how they want them to, kinda like customizing their characters. I am not sure how or even if it can be done with the current game mechanics and/or time/money invested, but it would be wonderful to see it eventually happen sometime, if it isn't in the works now. We can customize our Power colors and animations somewhat now, why not be able to make our minions look unique too?

This thread is full of fail... I play the game to feel epic, and that is arguably how the devs want us to feel, I dont want to be weak to something, including the Voids/Quantums. Since nothing else has a real weakness to anything, why do Khelds? they should not, they are plenty weak enough as is w/o the Voids/Quantums. Take out anything that wields a quantum rifle. While I am on the subject of Khelds, why is it that most of a WS powers use MORE endurance than ANY of the PB powers? I want the WS end numbers to be changed so as to not leave me tired after 2-3 of my WS attacks, as opposed to 5-6 of my PBs attacks. Powers that cost 26 points of end on a WS and do LESS damage than the PBs most damaging attacks that cost about 18.21 or w/e end to use seems HIGHLY unfair to me.

*Sneaks in and bumps thread*
When I read the title I was ready to jump in and scream "NOOO!" then I read what the OP meant and am all for this idea... And why does it say I have rated this thread when I have not seen it before now? -
I would like to see those side specific weapon customization options be available to both sides too, the Red cap daggers however I believe you could get as a villain if you did enough save the baby new year missions and killed all the redcaps in the mission each time. But the Rularuu weapons I wanted to see redside just because they look evil and would fit on many players concepts of their toons. I am afraid this is a mute point for the side specific costume options and the badges that unlock them now as toons can just switch sides to pick up the badges they need and then switch back or w/e.

Imagine a full MM team, all with Gang War, summoning the extra henchies all at the same time. Sheer madness I tell you. I believe it was calculated once that if all the henchies were summoned at the same time, there would be 144 players+thugs on screen at a time, not to mention the enemy NPCs...

Maybe this will finally shut down the argument of switching Archeotypes, at least it will shut the badgers up about it. -
I don't really look at the numbers, but Snipe does actually feel like it does too little damage for the type of power it is, AS... no, AS is fine as I don't see many players who use Stalkers (including me), that use AS as a normal attack, that ruins the whole point of the AT entirely, plus the damage it does can be buffed by Build Up and enhancies to instantly kill almost anything you hit with it (in PvE anyway) and if an enemy is still alive after hitting them with AS they are usually near death plus they, and the enemies around them suffer from Demoralization, which reduces their to-hit and has a chance to terrorize them, plus you have Placate, so Stalkers are fine. But the Snipe power feels underpowered, sure, my AR/Devices can kill any same level minion with just 2 shots (Sniper Rifle+Slug=dead minion (that is with SOs) before being hit too much, and she has already laid down nasty surprises for any enemy who comes too close to her before sniping (many time bombs+caltrops+ignite after killing that first mob as the other enemies are running toward me), basically I have figured out strategies to counter the mobs, but in the real world Snipers take only one shot to take out a target, and I get this is an MMO with MMO rules, but the power does feel like it underperforms a bit... I say make it a base ooooh say, around 300 damage for the DPA or w/e which should bring that up to a more reasonable level while still keeping the MMO rule of not being able to insta-kill anything in the game, it WOULD insta-kill most minions though, and as a power that has roots in the real world as an one shot kill it would flow while also not be able to insta kill a lieutenant or boss or w/e, I really am not good with the number thing and someone who is a lot less tired than I am right now and who doesn't hate hate math like me can come up with a reasonable number that would feel more fitting...

This. Will. NEVER. Happen. (To use Saist's way of wording things)
Please people, NO MORE of these type of posts. The Devs have stated that a "Ultimate Respec" to use the OP's term will NEVER happen, for many reasons, the most important being that it goes against what they want for the game. Please stop pestering the Devs about this as I am sure they are tired of hearing about it and also tired of having to repeat the same things over and over again about why it will NEVER HAPPEN. As for wanting to keep the badges as an excuse for an "Ultimate Respec" it is a lame one as the badges are not hard to earn in the first place, just delete and reroll. I don't see the point of even wanting to keep the anniversary badges other than an obsessive need to collect useless things (Sorry badgers, I only see the point in badges that go toward useful things such as accolade rewards that give you powers). If you don't want to lose your precious shinies, then keep the original and roll a toon that matches your original concept of the powersets you had in mind until they make anniversary badges account-wide (while I see no point in useless things like badges that give nothing to the toon other than another title to display or w/e, I try to understand other points of view and compulsive badgers are no exception), the idea of making the anniversary badges account-wide is a good one however and easier to do than a whole damn "Ultimate Respec" and can get behind that idea even though I don't get the compulsive need for "useless shinies". -
It would be cool to see Lady Jane get some DP powers, but like the other posters above me posted before, we need to fix some of the game mechanics like ally AI for one before that mission and others like it (I know the mission Technobot is referring to and I think I succeeded at it ONLY cause the toon I did it with was an MM which meant more targets for the Nemi to go after as well as a LOT of damage dealing (her primary is thugs so they killed the nemi goons fast), but giving NPCs like that extra powers to combat the Fail AI mechanics of those types of missions will NOT address the problem. Sure they will be harder to kill, but until the AI and other Fail mechanics are fixed they will still die, it will just take longer for them to be killed.

I say that if 2 servers are down, they need to bring them ALL down for emergency maintenance and get brand new servers and server software, the other servers could just be ticking time bombs too, so it may just be a matter of time before they ALL crash out.
-
Well this sucks, cant play any of my main toons now, It seems Protector crashed. Looks like NCSoft needs new server hardware and software...

I would have to say the most painfull injury I ever had was when I was between 8-10 and I was walking to school, I was walking along a raised cement wall next to a small parking lot, heel to toe, it was probably about 1 to 3 feet in height and I slipped and landed face first on the asphault. Split my lip wide open and chipped my front tooth, blood everywhere, from my lip and nose. The best part of that day though was I got out of school for the day.
I dont know if this one counts as it wasnt painfull, but later on in my life, when I was working at a movie theater, I was cleaning one of the theaters and I tripped and flew over a flight of stairs, if I had hit ANY of the stairs I would have been in pain, but I missed all of them and landed on the carpeted cement in front of the movie screen. I landed on my right elbow first and then my left knee, had to leave work and see a doctor, my elbow was broken in such a way that I needed to have a titanium plate screwed into my arm. I have to say this again, for some reason it did not hurt at all. Then a couple of years later my mom has to outdo me and slip on a patch of ice and completely shatter her elbow, she needed more rigid metal plates in her arm, and pins and a cage system outside her arm to help it heal, she still has the scars where the pins were inserted into her arm, and will never be able to fully straighten her arm again. She was in excrutiating pain. -
It has been established that you are a nemesis automiton already, and so were all of those presidents, the ones in the list that weren't eventually wound up being controlled by nemesis, or eliminated by him. Abraham Lincoln did not fit into Nemesis' plans so he had him shot, Barack Obama is obviously an automiton, I mean seriously, c'mon who in their right mind would make it easier for our houses to be taken away by the government if not an aoutomiton? Now that I think about it, the government is a Nemesis plot itself.
Thank GOD dogs are not part of Nemesis plans. -
And here is what i think of you if you don't care for my attitude...
(on second thought, maybe I should have condensed these into one post... I wasn't thinking... oh well, hindsight is 20-20)) -
Here is what I have come to think of some of the DEVs over this whole AE thing...
-
For the problems they are having with the DB server...

Mate are you serious or just a trollin?

Ok, i see where my idea has flaws, maybe a lot of flaws, just fix AE so we don't get noob 50 players who dont know what the heck they are doing, and every time i go to atlas i dont see this in broadcast every 2 seconds: "LF AE team!" then it would be better. The idea behind AE is great, the reality of it being a farm fest blows.
-
Give newbies limited access to AE, like they can access ranked missions like devs choice and high ranks like that, and allow them to create their own story and test it, but if they wanna publish it and play it for xp and access the rest of the features and stories in AE, they need at least one vet badge, this will prevent newbies from farming AE and getting to 50 and not knowing how to play for real, and vets who don't want to take the time to level normally will have the option of farming AE if they want. That way it is a win-win situation, so newbies are forced to learn the game, and vets who are bored with leveling normally can farm AE. I am open to suggestions on how to make this idea even better. I know the newbies will gripe if this is implemented, but it is better than taking away levels from everyone who farms AE, even the vets. The problem is with newbie 50s not the vets. This idea should get rid of newbie 50s

Well luckily, it's also the start of the double xp week-end, that should compensate....Thanks (in advance) for the birthday present!!

I have Fixed my problem. I uninstalled, deleted what was left
and started over doing it the right way the first time. haven't tested it as of yet though, heres to hoping it works!
PS: You can have your 42 beers, I already know the REAL meaning of life. -
THANK YOU!!! I recently had to move move everything I had from 1 computer to another because my motherboard was going bad. I had to wipe my hard drive and reinstall my OS also. I backed up everything I could, then after I reinstalled everything on my computer, I did what you said, after misunderstanding it and doing it a couple of different ways, and it took only a minute or 2 (maybe 3 tops).
I have yet to see if it worked but I believe it did and if not there are a couple of other things I could try in the thread that others have done. Thanks again.
Ok maybe I got a little carried away, I posted when I saw the time it would take for the wole thing to finnish (or what I thought was the time it would take) then when I after I closed out of the internet I saw the bar about 99% full and the time had jumped to over 4 hours and it was saying it was fixing some of the files. I guess if I had done it right the first time this wouldnt be happening huh?
