  1. if the GW is facing the tank and locked down and the tank is constantly spamming taunt and everyone else attacks from the side or back GW goes down like a school girl on prom night. her heal is not an AoE.

    as for this comment:

    The challenge I like is to shepherd more delicate characters through the content and bring them out of the cave and into the sunlight safe and sound. The challenge I don't like is anything that does not allow me to take that role.
    can you sound a little more self centered please. i don't think everyone knows that they should bow down to you and kiss your feet.
  2. i find myself to want to agree with this.
  3. and that is what the shivan summon is. a temp power. that can only be refilled when it is empty.

    the arc is up if you want to try it now. i just have to unpublish and edit it when i know which toons are going into the fight. but it is a decent arc as is for now. have fun and i will send you the arc id after i unpublish/finish it/republish.
  5. and you couldn't figure this out from ALL of the other temp powers that we have that work the same way? this is suggestions and ideas, not whiners and complainers.

    a little longer then the normal Power post... a few gramatical errors but nothing to worry about... you get the general idea of what he is going for... good post. i'm impressed by the changes you have made in yourself. good job.

    we can kind of do this in AE, but not a bad suggestion. in fact, i did something like this in the AE, here is the arc# 215669. i need to finish it, but that will be a bit before i do. you start out fighting 1 of my toons and a bunch of his followers, then the next mission is 2 and followers and the last is 3 and followers. try it and see if that is somewhat close to what you suggested. if it is, i will make the 4th mission in which you fight up to 6 of my toons. not sure if i can get them all at once or not. take a team though, it's kinda tough.

    I wasn't rude, I didn't get mad. Yet it's annoying when people try to talk to you on this forum like you are slow for posting an idea. Its funny though. I got -40 rep for voicing my opinion. Each time I post a suggestion I learn more and more about the game. Which is why I keep doing it.

    Just because someone doesn't know as much as you about the game doesn't mean you have to be rude to them. This idea wasn't meant to make or break the game. I only posted it because I thought it would add to the excitement the game already had but anyway. I'm putting it to rest.
    it is best to think out the idea before bringing it to the table. not just throw something out there that is not even half-*****(lack of better terms to use) and expect everyone to shower you with gold(in this case infl/inf lol) for it. there has to be balance, and you can not exclude anyone from it. it has to work for the whole game, not just parts of it.
  8. i honestly don't see why, and yes i did catch WW's post, the 2 different country servers can't be merged into one game. to me it would make sense. what are the major factors anyways? language barriers? they don't mean anything. you can leave the non english speaking servers for those that want to play those and also for those of us in the US that speak other languages. this way, like i said earlier, the EU's don't lose any of their vet rewards or time on game.

    there has to be a way for this to happen. unless the reason is the laws that some of the EU countries have.

    A highbie would have to start the arc, kind of the way LGSF used to "work."
    technically, you need 46+ to run a 50 ouro arc. so you can already have "lowbies" with you.

    I mean powers weren't INTENDED to be customizable. Now they are. Because people suggested it.
    that is not the point. all this will do is make hunt missions even worse to complete. he may as well asked for all the gm to be coded this way. either way though, it is an idea that is bad.

    to be honest, the best idea i have heard yet is to merge the EU and NA servers(not into 1 server but into what we have now). this will let the EU's that want more people to play with enjoy themselves. it also does away with having to lose there vet status which alot of them would leave over.

    it doesn't matter if you give slots or not. once they are filled, the people who left due to not having more slots will leave again. what is going to keep them? nothing. and i highly doubt that the devs would want to keep giving out free slots to keep people that weren't going to stay anyways.

    and your suggestion is not a good one. that is why, if you read your other thread, you have won the WORST IDEA championship. again, if something is working as intended there is no reason to break it.

    they are the level of the zone if i'm not mistaken. which makes them working as intended.

    and your point? oh, thats right, you don't have one. when something already comes out that doesn't mess with the rest of the mobs in a zone there is no need to fix what isn't broken. *points to the zombie raids, rikti raids and the supernatural events*. that already makes it hard enough to do a hunt mission for a tf/sf if one of these is going on. now imagine if they added another like it.

If nothing else it has the potential to entice someone back to play the game until they've filled all those slots wtih 50s
    and how long will that last? until they fill those slots? which could be anywhere from 1 month-1 yr? more slots are not the answer. sorry to tell you that. and before you go all "you just hate EU", i in fact do not hate the EU and would like to see them do something for them, but more slots is not one of them.
  17. umm, scrapyard is up every 15 mins or so. at least thats my experience with him. and it is not suppossed to be the mobs that pose a threat to lv 50's, it is scrapyard himself that is the threat. just like evey other gm in the game.
  18. and the NEW WORLDS WORST IDEA championship goes to......... T_C_S. you must defend your title at least once every 30 days or forfiet it to the next person in line.

    this is one of the, if not THE, worst idea yet.

    you idea is bad. if you want to fill the mid level ranges, turn off your xp and run your story arcs and tf/sf's and ouro to get merits to random roll. there is no need to change how much random rolls cost. or do the same thing with the AE. if you go the ouro route, you will drop recipes as well as merits for completeing arcs. in the AE you can random roll tickets.

    I think the best way to handle this would to make it a zone event (like the zombies invasion or the rikti invasion or the flag thing). And then the group that does/kills the best gets some sort of reward other than just merits. Or maybe they get super dooper bonus merits. But whatever it is there needs to be something as an incentive for people to go "oh the monster thingy is up, everyone go to zone [x]". Which would probably mean the event would be on the rarer side.
    /unsigned. what happens when the first zone gets full and another opens? or for that matter, how would you keep track of which team was doing it faster? you can set something like this up in the AE and give out rewards yourself to the fastest team if you want. no need to do it in the actual game.

    Make it cheaper for lower level characters to roll a random recipe.

    More people might be inclined to roll their merits as they get them rather than saving them for level 50 (which they could still do if they chose to).

    Could be even something as simple as:

    Level 1-20: 10 merits/random roll
    Level 21-40: 15 merits/random roll
    Level 41-50: 20 merits/random roll

    Base this not on recipe level (like tickets) but by character level (natural...don't want people going to Oroboros before rolling). Give the lower level toons a little more purchasing power, w/o bumping the merits given out for early arcs (which can be exploited by higher toons).
    /unsigned. there is no need to do anything to the random rolls.

    i haven't posted in here yet so here it goes: bye bye. things change as time goes on but seeing as you are not a female(neither am i but at least i understand), you wouldn't fully understand this. anything that can affect the game as a whole, in other words "free" content, will be released as such. UM was never flagged to be included with GR exclusively. i think it is wonderful that we are getting it early.

    as for the incarnates, we just found out about those. i think the way they are introducing them is a good thing. that way they can change things based on feedback from us about what works and what doesn't. by doing this, it makes the other 9 that much better while the first can be modified in little steps to insure they have it right.
  23. nope. not at all. try it and see what happens and if it doesn't work we'll try to figure out what else it may be.
  24. strange that it does it on minimum settings, but if what i'm looking at is true, your video drivers are corrupt. you will need to replace them.

    The spirit of the suggestion was more along the limes on how to keep the red side alive, I truly believe after GR the migration from red to blue will far exceed the migration from blue to red, and as a result a red side with such a small population to begin with, will then become even more challenged and the problems currently being suffered due to the small population size will get even worse.

    Ps: Perhaps you all have ideas on how to rescue the red side from oblivion, of course I could be reading the "tea leaves" wrong
    translation: "DOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!"

    red side won't die. infact i know several people who are taking their heroes red side.
