In any section of the forum, look for a thread stuck close to the top titled "Message Forum Rules and Guidelines".

In the Player Questions section, it's about three above the most recent thread.

How can they ever expect anyone to find it hidden with such an obscure title?

Ahh, that "hunt Circle of Thorns in Perez Park" mission. My best advice for that one? Return to the contact, select "drop current mission". ( AFTER you talk to the security chief, of course. If you do it before that point, you'll just be moved up to the next step after talking to him, which is the "hunt" step. Call back your contact after you talk to the chief and it'll finish the mission for you ). Dropping missions can be done once every 3 days. You get full mission complete rewards. It's meant to be used if a mission is bugged or just too hard for you to finish. Note certain missions can't be dropped - timed missions and missions that award badges primarily. The mission in question is soloable, but not at the earliest level it's offered unless you don't mind 1-2 kills at a time before having to run back from the hospital.

At that low level range, story arcs hero side are thin. You start getting most of your full story arcs after 10, though the Hollows does have arcs.

Travel is slow at low levels, and Hover is not a real travel power. It's mainly a defensive power, but it's also handy for getting over walls and onto roofs. Your actual travel powers become available at 14, and only if you've taken one of the first two powers in the pool. ( For example, for Fly, you need to take EITHER Hover OR Air Superiority out of the Flight pool. You've taken Hover, so you can pick up Fly at 14 ) Before then, in King's Row, visit the Detective contact ( He'll be on your map ) to get a Police Scanner. Open your contact window, click it at the top, and pick up a mission it offers. Do this 3 times, then talk to the Detective again for a Safeguard mission. The goal to these is to stop thieves robbing a bank, and the one you get level 5-10 is set an instanced version of Atlas Park. Complete the Safeguard mission in this level range, and the reward is a temporary jet pack. It's still a bit on the slow side, but it is faster than Hover. The jet pack has 2 hours of use time on it, and there are people who can stretch that out into their 30s and, thus, bypass taking a travel power as long as they can.

Actually, I played it on the very first day. Very few people saw that version

[/ QUOTE ]

A -LOT- of people saw that version and complained loudly about it on the forums....

You've got to be careful what types of missions you're reporting. A standard farm - just a mission with lots of relatively soft mobs to defeat - may not be liked by the devs, but it is legit. The ones that violate the rules are ones such as the recent bubble farms.

[/ QUOTE ]Actually, any mission built to be farmed is against the rules.

[/ QUOTE ]

....No, they're not. They're not what AE was intended for, but, as long as they're not abusing exploits, they're not against the rules.

Edit: Regarding the quote from Posi there, you're wildly misinterpreting what he said...

General response has historically been no due to clipping issues ( Which you can see on the raptor pack and such ).

I'd say it was the objectification of other people that raised the term 'sociopath' in question. Sociopaths see people as objects for their gratification.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's not what sociopath means at all. Sure, that attitude may be common among sociopaths, but it is not unique to them nor is it what makes them a sociopath. A sociopath is someone who lacks a moral compass, to put it in its simplest terms. ( Not that they simply have a different set of morals, but that they simply act with no regards to any moral code whatsoever )

[ QUOTE ]
If you get on a TF team, which cannot be added to, you should stay until the end. I cannot abide jerks who join a TF and leave after two missions.

[/ QUOTE ]

As I said earlier, god forbid people put RL before a game. Even if RL is my friends calling me up out of the blue wanting to go out for a beer. They're more important than some strangers I met half an hour ago through an internet game. Sure, I'll tell you I'm going as well ahead of time as I can, but I'm not going to feel obligated to blow my RL friends off so I can stick around and help a bunch of total strangers play a game.

[ QUOTE ]
And another thing, I'm just curious, why do people play mmo and solo? I assumed the point of mmo's is to play with other people? Solo is way to boring for me. Just my opinion and I know it may suck to some people.

[/ QUOTE ]

Because playing with other people can be done in more ways than just teaming with them. Just because you solo doesn't mean you're not playing with other people. Also, the gameplay experience of an MMO even for a soloer is COMPLETELY different from any single-player games.

This question comes up a lot. And, to be blunt, it's no less stupid the thousandth time than it was the first.

[ QUOTE ]
BTW, as a Champion inhabitant, I figure I'll pass this tidbit along. Felecia (AV Killer?) brags about how she destroys Rom constantly.

She actually has to bring a different friend with her to complete any TFs though. She's said before that TFs are almost impossible without the perfect team. Regular TFs.

[/ QUOTE ]

PFFFFF! Bwahahahaha! Are you friggin' serious?! Oh dear god... How anyone can say that and make such outlandish claims of uberness.... This is the same person that thinks the cape and/or aura missions are impossible to solo at the level they're acquired, too, though...

[ QUOTE ]
I did PM Felicia, and while I still doubt the claim of 4 kills in 60 seconds, it does sound like a very efficient AV soloing technique...I have a feeling that the 1 minute was a bit of a boast that has simply been blown out of proportion

[/ QUOTE ]

The 1 minute claim is exactly what she's been called on ( More than "a bit" of a boast there ) and what she's getting rabidly defensive over. Her staunch refusal to rescind that claim to something more realistic is what's blowing it out of proportion.

[ QUOTE ]

For those not smart enough to figure it out, I deliberately provoked people to see who is naughty and who is nice....i now have several messages from people who did not post that were ALL nice. I have a list of the smart ones who i will help upon request and a list of people who are obviously not worth teaming with!

[/ QUOTE ]

So do I win anything for being the first person to call your BS? (see page 9)

[/ QUOTE ]

Hm, I managed to overlook that. Admission to trolling and blanket insults. Enjoy your ban, Felicia.

[ QUOTE ]
Ok, I will try to make this clear for everyone..........

I do not like to keep repeating myself, such as i answered Tyger and Laxx in about my second post

[/ QUOTE ]

Your second post? You mean the one that came LONG before the questions I am asking you to answer? Answering me once doesn't mean that you have a free ticket to simply disregard any subsequent questions to follow from me.

Nice try. Grow up and admit that you can't answer the questions because your full of bull pucky. And drop this "quiz" BS, too. You're not here to give advice to players, you're here to strut with some outlandish claim of uberness, then tell others they're being "unhelpful" and "negative" when they ask you to substantiate those claims. In short, you're here to stroke your ego.

[ QUOTE ]
Why is there not a feature where you can logout to Character Select instead of all the way out to login or desktop?

[/ QUOTE ]

Because people who are careless about account security begged the devs back in beta to inconvenience everyone so they didn't have people messing with their other characters when they leave their computer unattended around people they don't trust...

[ QUOTE ]
Yes, CoX has a more casual nature, but in the past it has been easy to get together a good PUG and do missions for hours with the same players.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hasn't been my experience. Ever.

[ QUOTE ]
I just was wondering, does anyone else get irritated when u finally get into a team, u do 1 or 2 missions, and then u have the "Incredible Shrinking Team" happen? What I mean is u do a couple of mishes with a really good/well-balanced group, and then the people whose mishes u did just leave, without saying anything, yer team just shrinks. To me that is kinda disrespectful and irritating. I am sorry, i had to vent.

Again you guys have said nothing insightful,

[/ QUOTE ]

Neither have you.

[ QUOTE ]
go back and reread my past posts carefully.

I said Rommy can be done in 60 seconds, since he rezzes you have to defeat him 4 times.....so divide 60 by 4 you get 15 seconds to kill him the first time (not all 4 times).

[/ QUOTE ]

No one is saying you were claiming he could be killed 4 times in 15 seconds. They're saying you claimed he could be killed 4 times in a minute, which is 15 seconds per kill. Which is complete and utter bull pucky.Sure you can solo him, I can believe that. Sure, on a defender. No, not 4 times in 60 seconds.

And, by the way, tacking on a paragraph that's parroting advice several other posters gave to the OP way back on the first page of this thread does not make your posts any less unhelpful than those from the ones arguing with your fanciful claims of uberness.

'course, yet again, you're not going to even acknowledge me. Curious, if what you claim is possible, why is it all of the long-time powergaming theorycrafters claim it isn't? Why is it that no one, **NO ONE** has come in to back up your claim? Do you seriously expect us to believe there's some super secret that you and only you have discovered?

<QR>

Fairly certain that the restriction is not NC/PS's idea... Just wanted to toss some water on the knee-jerk bash.

Oh, now, don't go ruining a good "the forum regs are all bullies" rant with facts now, BBQ.

[ QUOTE ]
couldnt help but to disagree with everything you said. i have hundreds of spam so it would take hours to read them all and delete them.

[/ QUOTE ]

...why are you reading them?

[ QUOTE ]
the problem is a growing avalanche with the only end in sight is filters or the big off button for the email system. but everytime someone mentions a way to end the spam this way some cappa incarnate or forum cartel comes and flames the whole idea which seems a perfect fix for the monster problem that is spam/email.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, that's because the ideas thus far are usually along the lines of "Delete the in-game mail system all together" or "Ban everyone from China". There is one effective solution that hasn't been flamed because it's not idiotic: Add a "friends/SG only" filter option.

Adding an option to disable the in-game mail client-side is fine, too. I haven't flamed that. I HAVE flamed people calling the devs lazy or stupid for not adding the option. I'm not against the option, but if you don't use the email anyway, it's not necessary.

[ QUOTE ]
Oh and I would simply hit the spam e-mail button, but it doesn't do any good and it one time made it to where I would get mapserved and not allowed back in game. Though the tech support ficed that part.

[/ QUOTE ]

...the spam button didn't do that... There's nothing the spam button does that would cause that to happen.

Oh Oh Oyasumi wins! Arizona negative shower beats anything i can come up with!

If you read the past posts you can see why i do not just come out and give answers

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh, I know exactly why. You're full of crap. You have experienced, long-time players who have theorycrafted this game to death telling you it's not possible. NOBODY seems to be able to back up your claim with their own experience. So far, it seems you're the only one who thinks it's possible. The evidence speaks for itself. If it were possible, there'd be other people doing it. We're not going to believe that there's some magic trick that only you have discovered and not the big-time number crunchers. You're either grossly exaggerating or flat-out lying.
