i'd hate to tell you pendix, but the merit reward for katie came from the average time the katie was run in, not because the dev's wanted people to stop running it so much. when the average time for it was 14-20 mins what did you expect.

i would also like to point out that i have yet to see any of the "farmers" come on the forums and start screaming that the "anti-farmers" are ruining their play. all i have seen is a bunch of whiny anti-farmers comming on the forums spwewing their hyperbole of how farmers kill the game. enough already. there is already a thread started by mod8 that is for farming discussion and all of these farming threads should be deleted and anyone who starts a new one should be reprimanded for not taking this discussion to the appropriate thread.

here's a question to you all. have you done the same arc over again, even if only once whether it be dev created or MA, because you liked it? if you find the answer is yes, then you my friends are indeed guilty of farming yourselves. since that seems to be the mindset of almost everyone that that is what farming is, with the exception of those that think farming and pl'ing are the same thing. but please go on and keep telling yoursleves that your not farming, one day you might actually realize you are.

they wont ban people for making farms. and noone will mark them as such. get off this whole farming thing. the people who are totaly aginst farming and crying about it are the ones making the game less fun for everyone. stop trying to get people to play the way you want them to. they don't try to get you to play their way. and no one forces you to do those types of missions. enough is enough already.

i'll make a safe bet that he keeps his so's green as much as possible. this will drain a toon of cash. there isn't a reason, with io's, to do this. just trying to give some info that may help him save infl/inf rather then blowing it every chance he has.

of course you could always slot lv 30 io's and not have to worry about updating enhancements until your 50 and have tons of bank roll.

yes trial accounts can send email. thats how the rmt'rs get ya. its not by their real acounts.

ok looked and looked but apparently the last one got purged. Rules are simple:

1. Guess the movie the quote came from.

2. Give a quote from another movie.

3. You can use IMDB for this.

k ready, here we go. I'll start with an easy one.

"My friends, you bow to no one."

does the $99.99 treatment come with a happy ending?

and in my sg/vg the only ones who can edit the base are the leaders. that is the way it should be. i don't need someone who claims they can edit a base to come in and steal all my stuff. if you are part of a group that you have been with for a while and they trust you then ask them to promote you so you can set permissions of the storage units.

and you and bucky still don't get it that vehicles WILL NEVER make it into the game. give up. if you both new how to use the search function(which doesn't bite i promise) you would have seen everything you needed to know on why this just WON'T happen. besides the fact that the current game engine wouldn't be able to handle it, it is not something the dev's want to spend the time and resources on. it would not be feasable to them.

he is the eb that you have to fight at the end of black scorpions first arc that gives you your patron power villian side.

did you clear the room first before taking on the doc? and before you took on doc, did you eat some purple insp's? sounds like you need a better course of action then what you have. if need be go get yourself a shivan before you fight him again.

should have rushed him in body gaurd mode. the damage gets spread out and your survival rate is much higher. also make sure you take a full tray of inspirations, preferabaly purp's and reds and greens. if you did do this then i'm not sure what else you can do but some others might have some good ideas.

I only use bodyguard mode, thats how I fight. I only have 715 hitpoints. Two hits of 400 makes me a goner.

[/ QUOTE ]

actually if your in body gaurd mode 2 hits of 400 won't kill you. the damage gets spread out between you and your pets. adn if you eat purp's, he will barely touch you. what you can also do is lv 1-2 more times then before training up to those lv's go back and beat him. that way you wont have to waste the respec you get for getting your patron powers.

bring the team window up and hit quit strike force. of course you should be able to complete the arc and not get the message that your paths no longer converge unless you are out of the flashback anyways. if you can't quit via the team window, then petition it and im sure a gm can help you with it.

is this another one of those threads where the op isn't being agreed with so he is going to totaly bypass any questions and just throw out numbers to try to make himself look smarter even though he is doing the exact opposite? if so i'm going to grab a big ol' bowl of popcorn and extra large soda and sit back and watch.

reword what? we just had this discussion with a guy who wanted the fee to be lowered to $10/month because he doesn't know how to budget his money. and you comming in here without any valid reasoning behid your rant serves no purpose other then to get yourself some serious well deserved flamming. like i said, if your not going to be around after your yr sub runs out then why bother in the first place? basically what your saying is heres my money, i wont really be playing and after 1 yr i'm gone so you won't see anymore of my money.

this game is one of the few that puts out free issues. in other words you don't have to pay for an expansion like most other games. go enjoy your "free" MMO's and when you have to pay for an expansion, remember what we told you.

I was posting while you were rian, and I thank you for the first constructive post here. I would like to know more about the year-fee if possible. It might be worth it to do that. I'll probably be done with it by the end of the year.

[/ QUOTE ]

so if you are going to be done playing in a yr why bother wasting the money. this reminds me of the guy who thought that $15/month was to much and wanted the fee lowered becaue he didn't know how to budget his money.

check in your invetion badges and you should see that all the requirements are not met yet. you have to make lv 25 and 30 recharge io's to get it. or lv 25 and 30 interupt io's. i wanna say its about 7-8 of each lv or so.

geveo beat me to it.

all i can get from this is break something so noone uses it.
/unsigned. this would take up to much precious development time and we wouldn't get any new content for quite a while.

yes it can be done in the arena. both toons must be within 3 lv's of each other to get the drops. the best match is a regular match with the time limit set to 30 mins. dont toggle the shields on for the toon that you are going to farm for max kills per round. and the monkey cage seems like the best map for it.

my example makes perfect sense. infact when i loged in today to see if anyone had left any comments on things that could be fixed i found a new little button called complaint and low and behold someone reported it as a farm even though it wasn't. so i unpublished and added the second mish for now. i also changed the eb/av for the first mish back to extreme. there seems to be an aweful lot of self righteous anti-farming people going around marking missions as farms that aren't and not leaving any feedback as to why. this type of behavior is suppossed to be as bad as the people who exploited and i hope that the gm's ban them for it.

if someone's idea of a farm mission is an outdoor mission then they don't need to be playing a video game.

and i would like to know where i said that my mission was a farm. i never said it was. and if i feel that it is exploitable i make the appropriate changes so that it is not.

Bucky, do you care to actually address any of the problems you simply brush off? I don't think you quite grasp how big of a problem these issues that you so callously ignore or brush off are. The dev team doesn't have infinite resources. They've got to focus on specific things. They're not going to devote the resources required to create an entirely new, elaborate system like the one you want because it's just not worth it. Vehicles wouldn't do anything that the current travel powers don't already do and would require a large amount of work for what amounts to only a cosmetic change.

The game can't even do half of what you're suggesting it can (2 and 3). The "can't run on water" problem would cause vehicles to simply disappear as soon as you step in water and that still does nothing to counter the arguments that most of the doors in the game can't even be reached by roads and other ground vehicles friendly paths. Vertical movement is just too important. As to you combat suggestion, the game can't do that either. How are they going to give it hit points if it's a power? You want them to create a completely different mechanic for powers with hit points? That's a horrible use of resources when the game is just fine without them.

are you on the dev team? if not remember that this thread is in the suggestions and ideas section. So if you are not going to add to the idea/suggestion then buzz off. Because this thread is not in the "I'm Happy with the Game how it is and want no further progress section" How do ideas and suggestions progress to being in the game? By us voicing our opinions of what we'd like. And by the dev team pushing themselves to make this game ever increasingly better. Let the dev team decide for themselves what is worth it and what isn't.

so you don't like criticism. ok take your red ball and leave then. this topic has been beaten to death several times before and you just fail to answer any of the questions brought up to you. instead you just try to down talk people who don't ride your train. let me ask you this, do you want absolutely no new content for about the next 2-3 yrs while the devs try to come up with a new game engine that will allow these things to work? i for sure wouldn't keep playing if that happened. read the reasons as to why this wouldn't work rather then shrugging it off as nothing. had you even bothered to do a search you would have found all sorts of threads about this topic and why it will not work.

and absolutely none of these will work in the game. plain and simple. get off your imaginary unicorns and take time to read why this will not work rather then brush it off like noone gave any reason why it won't work.

the thing that was throwing me off was the missing pillar. i knew it was a control item so i was half right. don't go jumping all over me like i was completely wrong. it has been a while since i have done any base editing so these thigns aren't fresh in my head.

not sure. i am looking for it as we speak though, but i think the only references to it have just been people asking if there is anything like it.
