I can offer you that, except RP, we dont RP, you wanna RP go harass the folks in the VU2010 Thread, Im sure they RP all day long.
But I can offer folks to hang out with & talk to & XP with.

My question: "What do you developers want us to know and what can you tell us about without being painfully Cryptic?"

Quote:Actually by steam rolling through he mission you ARE recieving more rewards: More XP, More infamy/Influence, More salvage, A greater chance of a purple drop, More IO recipes.Originally Posted by Clouded
It depends. Should a team that can stealth and TP most missions get the same rewards as a team that steam rolls the same content and does not skip any?
The speed at which you complete a tf or SF should not be calculated into the merit reward formula. -
Quote:I don't like the idea of being penalized for being able to speed through a TF or SF.Originally Posted by Tyrrano
Perhaps rather than awarding merits based on average completion time, base it on actual completion time. Since this would obviously result in teams just idling in a TF to maximize merits, you could base the elapsed time on a log of actual power activation times, split up between team members. IOW, the game keeps a log, finding that during the TF, Mr. Fantastic activated Brawl 200 times at X seconds, Havoc Punch 300 times at Y seconds, etc. Then add a set allowance for travel time between missions, clicking any glowies, leading hostages out, or other non-combat events.
Sure, there's probably lots of ways to 'game' a system like that. And it'd be a coding nightmare. But it would directly correlate the reward to the time spent actually defeating the mobs.
I want them to actually calcualte some form of Risk vs Reward component into the merit system. They are always spouting this "risk vs reward" mantra and yet I never see anything that supports it. -

She said Trials, not TFs. The Trials have a built in time sink at the reactor.
Respec trials bluside annoy me at the reactors because of that ridiculous time sink.
I've still been able to get through blueside respecs in 30 to 45 minutes, despite that time sink.
For many redside players it still takes 30 minutes to complete a respec trial. -

Nothing wrong with the golden age settings, but I don't see how you can go around RPing with everyone else in the game (and ive seen Golden Age style heroes do such things), when most others arent RPing in that setting.
Golly gee willikers, doesn't mesh well with, @#$%%@$ I'm going to #@$%&$ you with a @#$&%* pony and @$&*@ your skull and $*#*@ kill your @$&$&3 dog.
I RP my Golden Age concept as a teenage hero of the 1930's that has just recently escaped from one of the many shard dimensions.
As for Vampires... in a game where people can pay or take drugs to acquire immortality and super-powers; becoming a vampire is dumb. -
Quote:This is false. By limiting the amount of players on a team, speeding up the recharge rate on high DPS ATs, Stealth TPing and the use of ATT; you can sweep through a tf at a very fast rate and avoid most of the TFs time sink.Originally Posted by Eva Destruction
The blueside trial contains an unavoidable time sink. No matter how good you are you can't speed up the trial...
Unfortunately villain players tend to be smarter with the Time vs Reward ratio when running their content and we are penalized for that. -
Quote:Speeders are not hurting merit rewards for Strike Forces. The merit reward formula is hurting Strike Force rewards. The merit reward formula for TF and SFs need to be reworked so it uses expected time and challenge level instead of median time.Originally Posted by Eiko-chan
That's pretty much exactly my point. Speeders are skewing numbers low and hurting the rest of us.

I'm looking for a build that hasenough defense and resist to be "survivable" within melee combat. I'm not looking for uber defense or resist, simply enough to where I will not be getting one shot while in melee combat. I know most of my mitigation will be using mez and knockup with this build; however, i'd appreciate any critiques on my build and suggestions how I may be able to improve it.
Thank you,
EDIT: I sacrificed some health in order to push my Melee Defense and Ranged defense up to 24% Posted the new build below.
Again any critiques, suggestions on what I should be aiming for as far as defense and how I can improve the build would be much appreciated. I've never built for defense and resist before and this is a bit of a challenge as i'm attempting to maintain perma dom.
Just to clarify this build is strictly for PvE and farming.

Quote:I made a perma dom with perma hasten for 248mil in under 3 days redside. Yes, the rate of purchasing can be slower than blueside in order to outfit your toon. However, if you actively avoid the popularity of certain IOs you can still make fairly cheap and functional builds quickly.Originally Posted by SwellGuy
That's a single dimensional view of the markets though, profit. The desire to outfit a character is far too often painfully slow red side. Both sides have steaming piles of inf to make for us in their own ways.

If naked profiteering were my sole motivation I'd stick a Black Market logo on the flag of my pirate ship.
Alas, I like to buy stuff as well as sell it....
And if I can't make a 77% profit off the item on the market. I sell it off the market. -

We're discussing ways to spread the word about the game to people beyond those who get it now, and you're actually pushing for the reverse?

Quote:It's a catch-22 the devs seem to be completely ignorant of. people are not interested in PvP because the system is bad. So why fix PvP system if people are not interested? *eye-role.*Originally Posted by Xanatos
I disagree. I think Castle actually believes I13 PVP was an improvement to the PVP system. The problem with the developers thinking is that they believe COH doesn't have the potential for great PVP, nor do they think PVP is one of the things the COH population wants. "City of heroes caters more towards the PVE crowd" is the mantra the dev team live by.
The demand for PVP is low because the PVP system is bad. All successful MMORPG's have active PVP communities regardless of niche or theme. If the PVP system was better then more people would PVP. As the PVP system is so bad, few players bother with it. This in turn puts it as low priority on the developers "to fix" scale.
Unfortunately for the devs, PVP is integral to MMORPG's. Good luck competing with Blizzard & Bioware when you have a PVP system your players don't want to use.
All of this is irrelevant anyway. The thread I linked to is about bugged powers. Powers that don't work as they should. Issue 13 was a deliberate change and sending bug reports about that is pointless. (Although I did laugh at the "my slow powers slow me more than my enemies" comment. Too true.)
anyway, good luck with getting devs to fix anything related to pvp.
Just keep running TFs and farm pinatas in RV more with us. ;D -
Quote:I laugh all the way to the bank redside. I consider blueside market more of a profiteering joke to be honest.Originally Posted by Aura_Familia
I'd be down with this also.
It'd be fun to see how long it takes on average for an item to sell also.
Just so that we can all LAUGH OUT LOUD at the BM even more. -

... or are you referring to people who put in embarassingly low bids for things I value more highly?
If the Devs are serious about the market being yet another pvp game, i'd love to see names attached to bids and selling items.
This could help those mythical "casual gamers" identify unscrupulous marketteers who may be attempting to manipulate the market to their own ends and it gives us "PvP" marketteers bragging rights.
And I'm referring to ANY actions taken on the market..whether it be short-selling, low-ball bids, flippers, etc.
With global names being attached to the bids and selling items, the marketteer no longer has the help of anonymity and if they are good, they get to brag.

I honestly don't think that the players have any power to accomplish anything here. The devs have shown very clearly that they do not care about the players, but only about their own personal "goal".
It's been a year, and they still refuse to admit that I13 was a mistake. A year later, they're still lying. No need to call it anything else. They're lying, just like they always have. Every word they say is PR bs. Which is why I13 is still a "success", and why they're "happy" with PvP in the game. Everybody with half a brain knows that's bs, and they cannot possibly be stupid enough to actually believe that. But they keep on lying.
Until they can at least be honest with the playerbase, I guarantee nothing will change. And all of you will just be wasting your time. Just like you did before, and just like others did for YEARS before you. Keep in mind...since the release of PvP in CoH, what did the YEARS of player input accomplish? That's right, I13.
The devs know PvP i13 was a mistake and they know the majority of the PvP community hate the changes that were implemented. Unfortunately for you and the rest of the majority of the PvP community, even with a vocal PvP majority being against the changes you are still a very, very, very small minority. A minority too small for the Devs to care about. -
