if it weren't fun I wouldn't still be here.

Suggestions and Ideas in the for fun section.

I haven't really had a lot of time to play, but yeah, that sounds like a pain.

Checkbox please!

(And can we have an option to set the email settings universally too instead of per character - or an option to that can be disabled on specific characters? Not to threadjack.)

With MA, we have a browser that gives us a way to go through various stories, searching forwhat we want or what looks interesting to play.

With power customization, I wouldn't mind seeing a powers palette "exchange" set up. I know private Supergroups might set them up, but having a central clearing house (with a screenshot would be nice) where players can, say, search on Controller - Ice - and a secondary might be nice. There are a lot of options, and I like getting ideas (and seeing just what people combined to get a certain look can be helpful, too.)

I like Earth, but I've been on Dominators (I know) since they got it. And with Earth assault coming, I'll probably roll another.

I have to go along with the "Disappointed in the storyline" group.

You killed Recluse? Congrats. So did every other Destined One. How does that make you "epic' again?

Oh, you killed Statesman. Um, again - LRSF, Ouroboros, potentially Recluse's Victory. Not exactly a unique achivement. It's just slightly above bragging you've wiped out 1000 Longbow by 50. So has everyone else.

So where's the epic story? Not in the one mission here, two mission there stories. Those of you saying "I'm filling in the blanks," well - write it in AE. It still doesn't affect the "ha ha, you were being laughed at the entire time" breadcrumbs here and there. You're writing fanfic in your head. I'm glad it gives you enjoyment, I'm not putting it down, but it doesn't make the official arcs any better.

I would have been happy, at least, to find out that you don't run the same Patron arcs. I mean, come on, you've already found out you're being jerked around by Recluse, so... you go to a patron, and find out you're being jerked around by Recluse again. It didn't have spectacular impact the first time, a second time on the same character is just tiresome. At least having something unique there that you could call an arc would have been worthwhile.

The devs did so much, but the veat arcs just seem like an afterthought past 15 or 20, like they had to rush it out the door. They had a basis showing some infighting they could really have built off of, and then just threw it all away. We got the cliffs notes of the readers digest version.

Actually there are some advantages to it being in the base (aside from sometimes showing up near the mission)

1. If your sg base has the autodoc or tree of wonders, you can buy inspirations there. You may not have a contact in the zone (or may not have them unlocked enough to buy greens.)

2. If your SG has inspirations stored and you're dead because of a tough fight, you can pick up (maybe) bigger inspirations (Phenominal Luck instead of Luck, for instance) to help out.

3. If your enhancements have gone red (leveled during a mission,) again depending on your SG you might be able to upgrade them as well.

Plus as mentioned you can add an item to boost what the rez station does, though I agree it could give you a higher boost with it.

I think they mean one you can see whether you've teamed with them or not. That sort of thing I don't think I could go for, since it's too open for griefing (and there are always shared accounts too.) But the current system, yeah, it works nicely. One star someone and note it, and you'll always know why (as long as you're on the same computer.)

I just went and looked at a mission I had put out for AE. I didn't check on it for a while. When I did, I made sure to hit "edit" just because of the various patches that have come out (no, it's not a farm, it's an actual multi mission story arc. No mitos, comms, or whatever else.)

Up in the corner, show problems was lit up. I don't know how long it's been like that. And with it like that, nobody could play it. (The object I had destructible at the end was now "invalid.")

I'd like to get some sort of notice that my arc now has problems when they come up. Either a global tell from AE or since nc has my email anyway through email. It would let me fix things right away.

Wait, weren't you one of the people *farming* for them on Pinnacle? One of the group that people made threads complaining about?

While it's probably a bug, since I didn't see anything about it in the patch notes - if they ever did get purposely removed, you could - oh, I don't know, look in the mirror.

That said, given that there are notes about typo fixes to Gladiator's Armor, I'd say "bug." The only things removed this issue are the badges Positron talked about for AE. (Edit for 'only things removed.')

So you can't, or refuse to, answer, even with contradictory experiences.

Even with people giving you suggestions, which you decide are "insults."

You don't want to be shown by a non-cartel person (pretending one exists as anything more than a post count title) that a team can be gotten quickly.

You refuse to answer "How are you looking, what criteria are you using." Or, in your own words, "back up" what you're saying. Of course, you've been proved WRONG before.

Fine. I'm done. Your actions in here have made it clear that you've deserved every ounce of derision and mockery that's been pointed your way. And if you're as bad in game as you are in here, I know why you have such a "hard time" getting a team when someone else can make one and roll. You're probably on ignore lists across the server.

Oh, and by the way? Until you get a red name, you have no control over who can and cannot answer you. You don't like that, make your own little forum or blog where you have mod powers.

So you and Bad_Influenza there have fun talking to each other, k? I'm sure you'll get along JUST fine.

(Edit: And he even has an SG and VG - at least according to this site, - check out the roster - and can't get a team together quickly. Yeah, I think the problem's him, absolutely.)

[ QUOTE ]

Read carefully please. I also had a team at the EXACT same time as bill that I formed and led. Bill proved nothing but at that specific time where I had already formed a team, he could do the same. This does not mean that it has not become harder.

[/ QUOTE ]

He did so in minutes. How is that "harder?" He also has stated he's been here four years, and hasn't had any more difficulty doing so! You say youv'e been here two, if I remember right. So he's, quite frankly, got more experience doing so and a longer amount of time to judge from - time which overlaps your own.

[ QUOTE ]

Before I could form teams at any given time in my own level range. Even if i am "limiting" myself the point that i cannot find as many people in my level range is still valid.

[/ QUOTE ]

BUT HE DID SO! And apparently didn't have to work at it all that hard.
[ QUOTE ]

Go onto Freedom Server atlas park, many different levels there, most of them doing AE farms, that takes awaya substantial part of the population for a undebatable fact. So, basically you either AE farm or you grind for a team.

[/ QUOTE ]

Neither is true from what I'm reading, though - And there's the point that you didn't answer my questions. Reposting:

[ QUOTE ]

Define "Your level range." Seriously. EXACTLY your level? Since you kind of implied it when you made the challenge. You sounded like you wanted a team ONLY of 22s - which is YOU limiting yourself. There's someone else counter-searching within minutes of you saying you couldn't find anyone who reported somethign very different.

Where did you search? What did you put in FOR a search? I'll make a character on Freedom if I don't have one sitting there, and do exactly what you say for a search (I won't make a team, since you're not talking making a team, just "There were this many people.") I want to know how you're searching and what EXACTLY you're looking for and accepting when making a team.

[ QUOTE ]

Once again, Bill simply proved that his lvl 25 toon could put a team together at that specific time ,

[/ QUOTE ]

To be clear, on the fly, within minutes of you challenging him to.

[ QUOTE ]

Bill - "I can make a team at any point," 2:29 PM
You - "So do it, right now, redside." 2:39 PM.
Bill - 2:54 PM, "I have a team." No mention of when he logged on to Freedom, but mentions 3 minutes and waiting for replies.
You, at 2:59 saying "I see the same people," even though he never mentioned names of who he was teaming with. Sounds kind of dishonest.
Bill, 3:15, added two people, one dropped.

You, 3:18, saying something about "people leave and join all the time," which kind of contradicts your own "It's harder to make a team." You also made some sort of comment assuming a "lil" something was on his team, which he later said was not. He did, in fact, provide a screenshot of the team list.
You did, however, say he did the exact same thing as you - given his results, he's getting a markedly different experience from you.

4:06, he mentions logging off finally. So, for an hour and a half, he had a team, and kept it going. Doing, by YOUR OWN ADMISSION, "the exact same thing."

He posted this:
Do you require everyone to be the exact same level?
Do you require an 8 person team?
Do you require one of each AT, or any specific ATs/powersets?
What is so much more difficult for you when it comes to forming teams? This is not "snark," this is an honest question. What are you doing, looking for, or expecting when you form teams that's making this "more difficult?"

at which time you said "most of the people" were ignored.

I had the option before to send tells to many many people in my level range, today there were about 10 ppl total in the entire /search...if that isnt evidence i dont know what is.

I wonder if I'm ignored for that comment about player notes or the mini fridge...

[/ QUOTE ]

Considering the other names on the list, LISAR, it seems that anyone that disagrees with Ares, and back up their point of view with any sort of intelligence, is on the list.

[/ QUOTE ]

If you can show me 1 person that came up with something intelligent go ahead. They all told me what I already know. It is possible to find a team, it just takes a bit more effort which for me proves my point. "

[/ QUOTE ]

How does making a team in just a few minutes from login prove it's "harder?"

So... You read Bill's post, then dismissed it out of hand and went on with the discussion as if his post had no meaning or worth?

Tactful. Fail.

If you mean me, Bill has been ignored since before his last post, thank god.

[/ QUOTE ]

What, can't handle being shown you're wrong? You, sir, are the DEFINITION of fail.

So, just logged off. Ran almost all of Darrin Wade's arc, with a team varying in size from 3-5 people, 22-25. All of which would fit perfectly fine on any "level 22" team. Took less effort than it has to write this post. Three people, including me, levelled.

I don't see the difficulty. It sure wasn't "tough" in the slightest. It wasn't "tougher" than it has been, certainly. If you look at my reg date, I started about a week earlier than that, and have been here since. I've made my share of teams in that time to compare this to. (And congrats, this is one of the few times I refer to or give a rat's rear about my reg date, because at least in this case, it's relevant.)

So again - I don't know what your difficulty is, unless you're putting such extreme restrictions on yourself that you'll, frankly, never be satisfied.

Do you require everyone to be the exact same level?
Do you require an 8 person team?
Do you require one of each AT, or any specific ATs/powersets?

[ QUOTE ]

Also, gj, you did the same exact thing as me.


[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, I did. And I got a team. And kept a team going throughout the majority of a mission arc, and it was certainly not difficult.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hmmm, he can make a team in minutes and keep it going.

You whine it's "difficult."

I think I see where the problem is... it's called ArestheImpaler.

[/ QUOTE ]

PROVED WRONG?!!! Are you [censored] kidding me?!! How can anyone possibly prove me wrong about my own experiences? I have heard numerous people saying it is hard to find a team and keep one together, also the pvp pop has obviously gone south! Prove me wrong on either of these. in order to prove me wrong on the first thing you need to go into my memory and tell me that i never had experiences when a team was simply not available...You people just agree with each other regardless of how idiotic it is...apparently that is the society we all live in.

[/ QUOTE ]

You:
"It's more difficult to put a team together, blah blah blah."
Bill:
"No, it isn't."
You:
"Fine. Log on and put one together right now."
Bill does so in minutes, and keeps a team going for a story arc.
You: "I'm putting him on ignore! La la la! Thank god I don't have to see his post showing how easy it is still!"

He did precisely *what* you said, *where* you said and *when* you said, and it certainly didn't sound difficult in the least. He's also mentioned having years of doing such to compare the difficulty to.

This leads to one of three conclusions:
1. You are wrong, and don't want to admit it,
2. You aren't putting the same amount of effort into it, or have such strict standards (as he mentioned) they'll never be met, or
3. Judging by how you're acting here, so many people have you on ignore that they never see your team requests.

[/ QUOTE ]

LOL!!! You obviously didn't read it well enough. I said I was already on a team. It was just tougher to find a team than it used to be, compare and contrast. Also note that Bill's toon was lvl 25 and what lvl 22 wouldnt jump on that team? Besides, Bill is gonna say whatever the hell comes to his mind like the rest of you dudes. Credible? I think not. I am not talking about every moment of every single day, I am talking about SOMETIMES!!! but overall, it is harder to find a team than it was 4 months ago on the Freedom Server, if you do not play freedom server often, just shut up. Epic Fail on your part my friend.

[/ QUOTE ]

And yet he hopped on and made a team from scratch.

Bill, did you advertise what level you were?

And for essentially saying he's lying - when, frankly, I've never seen reason to believe such - well, your loss.

^^^^ Oh stop defending your Forum Gods and let them respond to Ares' statements under their own power. they don't need your help, and if they do.... they're a lot less Uber than you seem to think.

[/ QUOTE ]

Jealous?

And they're not "forum gods," oh she of lacking personality, populator of ignore lists across the forum.

He put up a challenge. The challenge was met, and exceeded. His answer - "You're on ignore!"

That's /fail, right there.
