The villain location should be better a agree. But I can't seem to think of a better area at the moment.

I completely disagree that the AE should be removed from the starter zones. It's actually quite difficult tog et the AE building in higher level zones if you want to play completely player-created content to play your character or if you just want to start off with a few lowbie arcs to skip the dribble at the first ten levels. Getting the Mercy AE was a challenge that got me killed. I do understand your reasoning for wanting to do this, but it does hurt those low-level characters who actually want to use the AE for playing player-created STORIES instead of random exploits and farms.

The Kings Row AE building is not very far from the train at all. I'd be more then happy to travel to there from Atlas/Galaxy. At the end of the day the last thing any of us want is a new players first experience of the game to be people farming. As the OP has said we want new players to feel welcome and enjoy the community. Not have people asking them to join a farming team or see other players be abused for broadcasting his/her SG recruiting advert.
I haven't done any form of PvP for a long time due to many reasons and the abusive and elitist attitude of some PvPers is just one of them.

The old Heists before Mayhems. I don't have any complaints about Mayhems though, I just love the music in the bank.

You can still do them but they tend to be very rare. Just look in the paper for Heists.

I've done this 3 times already.
[*] Loads of 'LFT' broadcasts on all levels.
When I first started playing this game there would be loads in all zones. Now due to global friends, people tend to team with friends. Which isn't a bad thing obviously and I'm guilty of it myself but now I only see them in low level zones.

It would never happen simply because trying to tie every animation to every possible colour combination of every costume piece would be hard to say the very least.

Oh poo

Happy Birthday Master Zaprobo!

Hope your having a great day!

Damn it! I love a good cossie comp!
Congrats to the winners and belated Happy Birthday Kendai!

Been playing for 42 months now, with the odd break.

Toons?
Heroes:
Epimetheus: 50 Stone/Stone Tanker
Encaladus: 36 Ice/Shield Tanker
Slice and Carry: 50 Broadsword/Willpower Scrapper
Bio Lizard: 39 Spines/Regen Scrapper
Kickem: Martial Arts/Willpower Scrapper
Crazy Embrangler: 50 Plant/Thermal Controller
Anthony Diablo: 50 Fire/Kin Controller
Mercury Green: 50 Rad/Archery Defender
Ro.Boy: 36 Empathy/Energy Defender
Freezeno: 26 Storm/Ice Defender
Voltilizer: 50 Electric/Devices Blaster
Celtic Lad: 28 Energy/Energy Blaster

Villains:
Thorny Devil: 50 Necromancy/Dark Miasma Mastermind
Thorny Ninja: 18 Ninjas/Pain Domination Mastermind
Furious Thorny: 50 Fire/Dark Miasma Corruptor
Fiso: 32 Fire/Kinetic Corruptor
Lord Quagaar: 50 Mace/Willpower Brute
Thorny Warrior: 44 Axe/Shield Brute
Slash and Carry: 50 Ninja Blade/Willpower Stalker
A Fatal Mistake: 26 Electric/Electric Stalker
Kerpunk: 27 Gravity/Mind Dominator
StatIce: 2 Ice/Electric Dominator
Operative Thorny: 50 Crab/Bane
Thornification: 39 Widow/Fortunata

My favorite will always be Thorny Devil. Though I do enjoy my scrapper Slice and Carry and Epimetheus is a lot of fun to play with big teams.

My least favorite would probably be Freezeno and/or Fiso. I haven't played Fiso for donkeys years and Freezeno is just a little boring to play solo. hes mainly been leveled by TFs.

At the moment I'm leveling my Widow/Fortunata pretty much solo and working on Thorny Warrior who is in a level pact with a Ice/Pain Dom corruptor.

I am co-leader of a Hero Super Group called Erimus Optima and Super leader of a Villain Super Group called The Legion Of Darkness. I'm also a member of the Harlequins and The Echelon. I enjoy most Task and Strike forces but mostly just good banter and the lovely City of community.

Shouldn't this be in the questions section?

I'll be up for this on the Monday.
Level 50 Zombie/Dark with stealth and group teleport.

Welcome back.

Since when has the LGTF been 30 merits? And I'm sure the respecs aren't all 15 merits.

Grats on finishing it!

I ran an 8 MM ITF at the beginning of the year but didn't do it as quick as that, think it was around 2 and a half hours. Was a lot of fun even when lag hill felt like a picture. Off the top of my head I think it was 2 zombie, 3 bots, 2 thugs and 1 merc. Screeny.

Gratz again and hope you enjoyed it.

P.S, I'd be up for the 8 MM LGTF.

Conga Rats on your first 50!

[ QUOTE ]
Yes, the ITF IS hero and villain and compared to some other TFs it's not that well rewarded, same goes for LGTF

[/ QUOTE ]

I disagree. 39 merits for an LGTF is plenty considering it can be done in around 2 hours with a good team. STF takes much longer with a good team and rewards 1 less merit. Sure it can be done in less then an hour by some but that's with a very very well picked team of ATs with as many temps as possible. ITF rewards 28 merits and can be done in around an hour with a good team. Seem like a fair reward to me. If you take the Katie TF and Eden trail into account they reward 15 merits all together because they can be done very quick. Treespec trials reward less merits then the Hero respec trails because they can be done a lot quicker.
I agree that they shouldn't be based on player average times but its just not going to happen.
I also agree that Villain SFs should reward a little more merits, such as Ice Mistral and Operative Renault SFs. But 12 merits for the Virgil Tarikoss SF seems fair. I've done that in just over 30 minutes.

I don't particular agree with your prestige earning rules either but Gratz still.

No it dosn't.

well its been fun while it lasted.

i had said before in the forum that if you take a way the badges i put so much time, effort and money into collecting that i would take away my subs.

i dont play this game to negate my time here - the devs coqued up, NOT me. i just played within your rules (no i'm not a farmer).

hope to see my friends on another mmo in the future. be well and take care.

:={}

i had lots of fun over the last 18 months. made some friends and 1 enemy. (you know who you are)

[/ QUOTE ]

Awwww boo-hoo.
Yer, they messed up with MA badges and for some seemingly stupid reason they didn't expect MA to be used as a farming tool. But they are only human, just like everyone else who plays this game. To those who are annoyed at this decision: ITS ONLY A GAME! Sure I enjoy it a lot and want it to succeed but at the end of the day I play for fun and I don't find grinding fun in the slightest.
If you are for the changes, good. Glad to see some positive thinking for once.

Oh for the love of...


Pathetic? Understatement.
