Correct... I just want to be able to enter a mission or travel by train when the door is open.

On lifts in tech maps you can click them and you're immediately transported even if the lift door shows as open because a team mate has used it, but you cannot click the door on the boats to enter a mission in Cimerora when the door has already been opened.
It's dumb.

I have to agree, the lights and colours are crazy and more so now that we can custom colour our powers.

On Keye's the other day someone had a very bright green Shadow Fall which when under everyones feet made it hard to spot Anti-Matters Obliteration beam.

Can't they add an option under graphics settings that allows you to suppress other players effects?

The oldest most annoying thing in CoX for me is the fact that you cannot click and enter a train or even some mission doors when the door is open!
Why on earth would you have to wait for a door to close so that you can get into somewhere when the door is open already!! *sigh*

About time this was fixed?

Super Booster III: Superscience

Includes:
1 new costume set
2 new emotes
2 costume change emotes
And the ability to use a Cosmetic Surgeon NPC – gender transformation

That's it???
£5.99 worth??

Be serious. If NCSoft are going to continue with these ridiculous packs they should at least drop to micro payments to compensate for the high price of the packs. I can’t justify spending £8.99 a month on a old game AND another £6 for it’s packs, especially when they offer so little value for money

I miss...

Getting that "Wow" feeling when some kind person gave me 100k inf..

I miss being annoyed at getting debt.

and i also miss being chased by Pumicites in the Gulch...they are fast!

However, we want badges to be something that everyone can obtain.

[/ QUOTE ]

You do? But you are not making changes to current badges…Why? Take the following for example. Not everyone can be exepected to obtain them.

Empath Earned by healing 100,000,000 damage to NPCs, Pets or other Players. No Self Heals.
Jailed Be under the effects of enemy Holds, Stuns or Sleeps for 80 Hours

And what about this?…..this is not obtainable ….

Passport Only awarded for any EU account that originally transferred from a US account via the now unavailable server transfer function.

We really didn’t want the Mission Architect to be an environment that encourages farming for XP, Rewards or Badges

[/ QUOTE ]

Ahhh then you'll want to adjust this badge too? Because I bet there will be farming in MA for it.

Leader Earn 2 billion Infamy to earn this badge.


Why are you not going to change that?

I'm sorry to intrude on your thread, but i was reading with interest about your last attempt. I had an emotional time trying obtaining the badge myself and i'd like to offer some advice for what it's worth.

is the key in my opnion. Don't take risks ...

Don't use AoE's when defeating the CoT and Vines. (we had a tanker taunting the tree for us while we cleared)
Don't use Nukes.
Don't take on more than one AV at a time.
Don't rush.

We also took time to get a tray of inspirations EVERY time one of us got low.

and very importantly we were responsible for our own health, it's not up to the healer to keep you alive. If you get hit - take a green straight away.

I wish you all the very best of luck in the next attempt.
If i can help at all then let me know.

I have aimed for a fairly quick Arc which is not heavily loaded with story text, but still a fun play.
Should be Soloable as i played it with my Grav/Emp controller.

Since the release of i14 i have noticed that all you get now s lvl 4 whatever lff nowadays they dont even have to make there way to Perigrine i have heard that its possiable to get from 1 to 30 in one mish.
I have farmed in the past but for inf the future of this farming exploit doesnt look good as when it comes to TFs like ITF etc your going to get total noobs joining who havent got a clue how there toon works how to use the powers and havent got it enhanced.
But apart from that everything is cool i just like to moan now and then lol

[/ QUOTE ]

The discussion has gone slightly off track. The OP has posted their concern about new players joining the game, powerlevelling to 50 and then playing high level Task Forces like the ITF, but not being knowledgable enough to play properly and so possibly hinder the team or annoy the other team members with their naivity.

The OP is rightly concerned. There has been a large amount of broadcasts in Atlas where many players select to start the game and they arrive to be bombarded with invites to farm their way to 50. Not only have the broadcasts in Atlas swamped these newcomers it irritated me so I moved my character out of the AE in Atlas because of the volume of broadcasts and I haven’t been back since.

I’m hoping it will all die down and return to normal soon. If not, I’d like to see something done to remove it from starting zones.

As for teaming with these new players who have leveled to 50 in 8 hours and join task forces etc. Personally I am a patient person and the player would have to be really annoying to get on my nerves. If he makes a mistake and we get killed, then meh! So what. Debt is not exactly anything to worry about these days. I’m not sure there are any TF’s that you could fail to complete with an inexperienced player on board?

What other people do and how other people play this game doesn’t really bother me too much. Everyone has their own play style. I just worry that potential newcomers will be hit with this “farming flood of text” and not get to enjoy the game as much as I did when I started and then they leave…. The game gets less players….the game dies……. And I am all alone… .. Dramatic but true!!

Like I said though, I am hoping it’s a phase that will pass….

It all sounds very dull. What has gone on in the last five years that was so great that warrants being re-introduced for the 5th Anny?
The announcement from Positron may well include some news about COH2, but it's really just a carrot dangling in the wind at the moment.

Not that having a dull 5th Anny will stop me playing I'm still having fun

[ QUOTE ]
It'd be nice to move the MA Farming talk to another zone just so new people can ease into the game proper before engaging in Level 53 Rikti XP Orgies.


[/ QUOTE ]

Agreed.
Is it going to harm the game if the MA building is removed from the starting zones? Do new players to the game really want to go and make thier own missions as soon as they have created a character or will they be learning the game first by playing it?

Why not remove the MA buildings from the starting zones? Then people that are new have some breathing space to learn the game.

[ QUOTE ]
I'd like to add tough, I recently started playing, a week or so ago. Right now I'm just getting int othe game, realising there is so much I haven't done yet and regretting that MA was released. I'm sure you guys can understand where I'm coming from when I say it's hard to find a team to do stuff besides farming. If I din'd get invited to a SG, I would have never known what this game has to offer and would probably still be farming.
But yeah, shouting for a team for an hour and being offerd only to farm 10x in that hour, kind of makes the choise harder to play the actual storyline then to hit the petting zoo right?

[/ QUOTE ]

^ This is worrying me. Atlas broadcast is swamped with farming, filling and powerlevelling requests so much so that a simple broadcast for a team gets lost. Instead new players now have little choice but to join one of these teams or solo...

I've tried to make my Arc playable and enjoyable by both teams and soloists. It does state that it is solable in the description and even though it has an EB at the end he downgrades to a Boss on Heroic. I was able to solo the mission on my Grav/Emp Controller at level 50 on Heroic, but it is hard to be sure that your mission is enjoyable for all ranges and team sizes without lots of feedback.

[ QUOTE ]
Union Atlas is a mess as well. Horrible (even moreso than usual).

[/ QUOTE ]

I agree. I moved out of Atlas. When i last logged on there i noted that within 30 seconds of loggin in the first four broadcasts were all requests for farming teams...

I feel it's a shame that new players to the game are going to see this all over broadcast now. It might put some people off? Are new players getting dragged into MA teams from day one now and missing all the other content? I hope that's not the case, but it's worrying.

The devs correctly understand that this game is adversley affected by excess farming.


[/ QUOTE ]However, they're banning arcs simply because they have the word farm in the title. So the only thing farmers need to do to not get their arcs banned is to not label them as such. And guess who gets hurt by that?

[/ QUOTE ]

No one?

[/ QUOTE ]

Me

I sometimes pop on to play for a short time and sort through the missions to find a short, quick fun mission to play. I read the descriptions and the title to get a gist of the mission and determine if it's a Farm or not. Farms now seem to be disguised with great short descriptions and i keep picking them! Maybe it's just me...

Can anyone confirm if getting the free month affects your veteran rewards? .. if i was to purchase this pack this month and have the month free, would that free month be a qualifying month?

Wow!, You should really consider writing a book on CoX!!

Brilliant stuff, Thanks JD.

This is very handy indeed. I havent managed to reach the file size cap yet, but i'm sure i will one day and the research you have done here will be at my fingertips to help me. Thanks Judgement_Dave.

Do you not defeat some of the AV's or something? How do you get the Key so fast?
