A friend of mine let me know he got banned for a week from playing one of the farming missions on AE. How does that happen and how do I prevent it from happening to me? Is this a common thing?

but why would he/she, you are horrible.
If you want the place where you will get the most people PvPing, then go to Freedom.
You will get the most quantity and quality there. -
Virtue has a lot. JOin us there.

Also it has a hero-only name which is icky.

Quote:Even so, if it does "break" villains, Heroes have had their time in the spotlight for way too long, anyway.Originally Posted by Lemur Lad
No, I'm not. I clearly stated for people who don't want an imbalance, there won't be one. For people who don't care, there will be the benefit of staying true.
No one really needs any change that will cause further dissention between the sides.
I thought I wouldnt even have to mention this, but now I will since you're being pigheaded:
Yesterday I ran 2 pug villain respecs in 17minutes each. Thats 3 an hour. In the same 2ish hours your typical Positron takes, that ends up being more merits in the same amount of time than heroes get on Posi.
You're trying to fix something with a solution that would break things in the opposite direction. Stop. -
Quote:But you CAN by far run all the SFs in a day, which is where the merit imbalance comes from as the 1 merit / 5 minutes rule holds to both sides.Originally Posted by Sharker_Quint
and i'll answer you the same way i did in the other thread, you can not run all of the hero tf/trials in one day. well, any "normal" or "casual" player would not be able to. that is what the game is balanced around. not the hard core go to sleep for an hour then play 23 hours people.

Quote:Paraphrased from my other thread: There would still be an imbalance between pure heroes and pure villains. Lemur Lad is incorrect.Originally Posted by Sharker_Quint
borrowed from lemur so he wouldn't have to rewrite this:

Quote:Not everyone does speed runs.Originally Posted by Sharker_Quint
until they are speed runs and they get nerfed. clean out the cob webs and let what we are saying kick in.

How about this: SFs can be done 2 or 3x per day without penalty?
-
Quote:OR to go along with MY suggestion so I can do several BSFs, SMSFs a day for full merits... and get the same amount as Heroes.Originally Posted by Sharker_Quint
the best way to correct it would be to raise the merits an sf gives out. but since that isn't going to happen, the only other way to appease everyone is to add more sf/trial to red side.

Quote:We don't care about people who ragequit without thinking logically, though.Originally Posted by Sharker_Quint
it is not the simplest way to do anything. removing restrictions from one side will only get the other side in an uproar. and probably alot of threats of people quitting.
They are like the AE babies, we are better off without them.

Quote:Maybe it would do that, but not EVERYONE would be doing the most effecient thing. This would also be the simplest way to diminish the merit disparity.Originally Posted by Memphis_Bill
No. Seriously. Just no.
The days of "fast katies/speedens" and the like blueside were horrid. I don't particularly want to see that return for any SF/TF - which is exactly what this would do. -
Quote:It would not be imbalanced at all. All the hero TFs combined probably would take the 18 hours anyway. Not imbalanced in the least. They would not complain if they had 2 brain cells.Originally Posted by Sharker_Quint
yeah...right. and you don't see people from the blue side coming here and ranting about how vill's don't suffer from DR while they do?
big ol' facepalm.
Not to insult heroes' intelligence, but villains are smarter having to live stealthily under the law. -
Because this is may be an easier to implement fix / more likely one.
-
Without having to double dip into TFs, heroes have the potential of getting MUUUUUCH more Merits than villains without running into the 18 hour diminishing returns than villains could if they both ran all their SFs and TFs. To counter this, and bring more life to SFs, I propose SFs should not have the 18 hour diminishing returns timer. Devs, Please think of the balance.
EDIT: Another idea. Have it so that SFs may be completed 2 or 3 times a day each without penalty. -

Quote:I thought Nvidia was showing 3dvision at hero-con and said it would be ready for Ultra-mode.Originally Posted by Lemur Lad
Doubtful. Extremely doubtful.
The game got burned when they jumped on the PhysX bandwagon a bit too early and then didn't have a way to keep up with the upgrades that would make it compatible with current cards with native PhysX. I think they're probably going to wait to see how successful any "newshinyawesome" graphics system really is before developing for it.
There's nothing in the released info for GR or I17 that I've seen that says anything about 3d -
I think we get support in i17?

Why not just farm longbow? At least there is some variety there.
What I more was getting at is: Share the wealth with those who have more team oriented builds. Let them have some fun and lewts too :O. -
Quote:I agree, sell them. Hoarding is not really solving any "issues" of stock.Originally Posted by Sharker_Quint
well then sell them *******.
seriously, you are not helping the situation.
and your idea would work for big sg's, but not for solo/small sg's. and base upkeep should cost prestige. but not the trivial amount it costs now. i say they should unfix the bug for 50's earning double infl/inf, raise the drop rates by .75% or so and let it go.
as for the infl/inf cap., don't go there. that has nothing to do with inflation like you think it does. -
Quote:Stop being ebil and let people have items and inf :<Originally Posted by Umber
A billion inf remains a significant amount of wealth, outside of purples and pvp IOs it retains much of the purchasing power it held back when the billionaire club was a true accomplishment. Its those outlier items where a billion starts to look like pocket change. If you're happy with non-purple builds for most alts (like I am) then that money will take you very far.
The ebil club needs to shift to at least 10bil to regain its former leetness, possibly 20bil. Makes for difficult screenie evidence tho (not like existing 1bil screenshots couldn't be easily faked and are taken on the "honor system"). I've 14.5bil across eight holder alts redside, guess I could make a monocle collage but its not worth the hassle. -
detainment and experimentation.... investigative reporting.

Quote:It is possible with AoEs, but that is because they can have different numbers of ticks at different radii.Originally Posted by Rebel_Scum
The beam keeps going, but past that distance it lacks enough power to do notable damage? Just a random idea.
Actually come to think of it they could make that this set's gimmick - the powers all have really long range, but fired at something further away than the normal range of standard blast sets, they do way less damage. Dunno if that's even possible though, so meh.
