1. Most farms provide max tickets per run. More tickets dropping would just lead to ticket farms instead. Selling their roll recipes and getting inf that way.

2. No XP = minimum players using the MA. Almost everyone like to see progression. Doesn't matter if the person prefers story over XP, they will still want to achieve something.

3. Mission completion bonus was left out for a reason. It's extremely exploitable. 5 missions. One glowie to complete each one. Instant XP for no work at all. Rinse and repeat.


In my opinion, the only way to make the MA more story focused is to first admit that farming will always continue. Then look at curving it rather than stopping it.


There's a few things i can think of to do that.


1. Make the groups consist of minions and lieutenants. An all boss mob is ripe for the picking.

2. Lower the amount of groups per map. 200+ on dreck map is far too many.

3. If the dev's really are against farming then make the repercussions of making farm maps more severe. don't just unpublish them , give a warning or something. That will stop in ya face farming.



Anything else won't have an effect are farmers without ruining what the MA is about.

People keep saying get rid of the auto SK feature but if that was to happen i'd just go back to my perma level 46's i have and give myself an SK courtesy of the dev's and their stop XP option and i would have a bigger team. It would backfire.

I'm sorry, but do you guys really think the Rikti Communication officers or what the hardcore farmers are farming? If that's all they changed on test then the farming will continue.

Well the lvl 52 is going for 70 mill and the 50 is going for about 30 so i'd want at least 80 mill for both.

Doh... Fancy me not saying the server.

How about putting a sensible cap on xp per hour game wide?

That gets an even bigger no.


Weekend suggestions ftw!

Got 2 of these Vills side to sell. A level 50 and a level 52.


Seeing as they're pretty darn rare i thought i'd offer them to the EU before i let the grubby Yanks get them.

So, any takers?

No.

Happy Birthday Mumsie!

Well, that certainly proves that MA farming turns out characters with horrible builds.

Let's duel sometime then MaX. I'll show you how horrible the build is.

As far as i'm aware PhysX will still work they way it should, just without the option being lit up. Change the the particle physics quality option to very high and i'm sure you'll see a difference.

I don't think Paragon studios (they own CoH now, not cryptic ) will change the way it is at present as they're probably more concerned with a sequel.

That option in-game is only available if you have an actual PhysX card in your rig.


CoX was made long before gfx cards were made with PhysX on-board

After that, I would imagine the only logical thing to do would be to remove XP and Inf from MA missions, or at the very least reduce the reward rate to no higher than 10-20% of normal.

There's so many, less drastic ways of stopping it. It would keep the MA usable (because let's face it, if MA missions didn't have xp loads wouldn't use it.) but still solve the xp/sec problem we have now.


I really hope they don't do their usual approach and nerf it into oblivion......

Another stupidly fast level 50 which any new player could easily achieve in one session.

That wasn't even an attempt to go fast.... Just "normal" farming with 4 in a team..... Imagine 8 man spawns

When people suggest events and things they really should state the desired server.....

If i go, it'll be US servers dude.... I'm really not going to put myself in a position to get totally ignored again.

That's Diminishing Returns for you.


Takes away all your hard work to make it fair an "equal" for all

They think it should stay how it is.

They are happy with it and apart from possible mini games like capture the flag etc it won't be changing any more.

PvP is the only subject that would have taken more than one reply to deal - so Positron correctly stuck to answering one-off questions, rather than spending most of his time debating a game feature that is not used by the majority of the players.

[/ QUOTE ]

And who's fault is that? He wanted to change PvP to make it available to the masses and he failed. There's less PvP'ers now than ever.

Now he should talk about how to fix it and how to actually get more people to PvP, not bury his head in the sand and say he's happy with it and i don't care if your not.

I'll meet you there when you get on for a duel if you like? A great way to celebrate 5 years

PvP is a minority community.

But they seem to think they are far more important than the rest of the player base.

[/ QUOTE ]


No we don't.... Not at all.

We're all equal, we all pay the same. So we should all be listened to and responded to in the same manner.

Not just dismissed because we weren't playing the game "how far can we get our nose up" because everything isn't ok.
Though we were being quite polite considering our reputation.

You mean the ones in PD that he just blanked after a bit?

That will be the one's FFM.

I don't know how any company can just dismiss customers the way he did. That was really bad public relations from the top boss.
