Don't click on Kitsune's "leaks". He's trying to trick you into watching some very crappy manga anime.



[/ QUOTE ]

*nitpick mode* Anime is animated. Manga is comic book form. "Anime manga" is kinda mutually exclusive. Unless you've got a flip book.

You will run into inexperience players PL'd on about any server

[/ QUOTE ]
Only if you PuG, and lol @ PuGs. I know the people I'm playing with are perfectly capable of playing their PL'd-to-50 character just as well as someone who leveled it "the hard way."

[/ QUOTE ]lol@PuGfear

I don't care if the people I'm teamed with are the best in the entire game.

[/ QUOTE ]

Neither do I. My problem is I too often end up teamed with some of the worst players in the game.

Can I do faultline solo?

[/ QUOTE ]

You can solo to 50, I solo 99% of my toons, only my HEATS and VEATS team before 50.

[/ QUOTE ]

And even they shouldn't need to. Though, it's much harder with the HEATS. The VEATs, however, perform rather well before 24, fantastic after.

Except, perhaps, the couple weeks or so following an issue release...

Whatever. Note that lines 2 and 5 still apply.

*Sigh*

Misleading title
i16 is not GR
GR is not i16
Why would we know if they devs haven't told us yet?

Its on EVERY server.. not just Freedom...

[/ QUOTE ]

Freedom and Virtue are, honestly, much worse for it than the others (though they all have farming going on.)

[/ QUOTE ]

Only due to the factor of more overall players. I assure you the proportions are the same.

My toon has nothing to do with having a doctorate, the irony still stands.

I do not think that word means what you think it means.

Sucks if the thing really has been dropped all together. I thought it was kind of a neat touch except for the part that it was only ever one ad at a time and sometimes repeated several times in a small area.

Then again, I have seen advertising in big cities like that...

[ QUOTE ]
I got a question. Don't bother telling me this is the wrong place cause I don't care. I have a question for players and I'm asking here.

IF the devs offered free transfers to everyone on Freedom server for one week, would you transfer all your main characters to a different server? If so which one?

I ask because I hate Freedom now that it has become a giant bucket of noob AE farm bile. It's always been a tad bit annoying, but I like the high population so I've stayed for 4 years...now I just want out but won't even consider paying $10 per characetr to find a new home. Just curious if anyone else would jump at this offer to make a new server your home for no charge.

[/ QUOTE ]

What makes you think the AE baby flood is in any way confined to Freedom?

Usually step 7 involves the person "pointing it out" trying to paint of picture of the "forum regs" being evil bullies picking on the "poor newbie", and they go on about how we're driving new players away by being meanies.

[ QUOTE ]
Oh yeah that'll be real effective cuz it's so easy to confuse

Arc 92259: Felis Prime by @Tyger42

with

Arc 12345: Fellis Pryme by @Kingsbury

And I'm sure no one has thought of typing a list of their favorite arcs in their bio page so they don't forget them.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'd think normally people search by arc name for those kinds of arcs. Still, a similar but not the same spelling won't come up in the search if the name of the arc they're looking for is spelled right in the first place. I suppose it may catch a few people on the same principle "fat finger dialing" scams catch people, though.

Most of these posts are kind of hypocritical.

Your mostly upset that players are now making the game easy on themselves by leveling up quickly in AE.

It's hypocritical because the real reason your upset is because you want to make the game easier by inviting players on your task force team that know what they're doing instead of just teaching someone how to play and informing them.

[/ QUOTE ]

Now that's some pretty warped logic right there...

[/ QUOTE ]

Sign me up for warped logic then, because I kind of agree with him.

When I see folks who have no clue what they're doing on my team, I don't sigh, I just enjoy the extra challenge. YMMV.

No team wipes because of one, two or even seven players out of eight

I was talking with one of my friends and he teamed with a couple of guys that only played in atlas on a hami farm.

He took them on AV missions and they died every 5 minutes fighting tyrant and were completely useless.

If the fight against Tyrant lasted more than 5 minutes, everyone had issues.

I wasn't getting much hits.

And you won't get any here, either. Unless you count a modsmack.

[ QUOTE ]

this just all goes back to the continuing argument and bad attitude towards solo players that they do not deserve to have the same conveniences that others get.


[/ QUOTE ]

This is really preposterous. I play something like 90% or more of my time solo, and this is about the only MMO I am familiar with (I don't play lots of them, so could be wrong here) where solo play from 1 to top-level is even possible, much less made as accessible as it is.

[/ QUOTE ]

It's actually possible in most modern MMOs these days. WoW and EQ2 included.

Total B.S.
You are not discriminated against in any way. You have exactly the same options available to you as everyone else in the game (who is not on a trial account).

IN YOUR OWN WORDS: "But i dont play this game to make online friends, and supergroups dont fit my playstyle. "
You *CHOOSE* to play in a certain manner and avoid making friends and joining groups. Suck it up and accept the consequences of your own choices. You're hindered in transferring influence because of YOUR decisions, not the Devs'.

[/ QUOTE ]

this just all goes back to the continuing argument and bad attitude towards solo players that they do not deserve to have the same conveniences that others get.

[/ QUOTE ]

One thing here: You're confusing "solo player" with "antisocial player". Joining an SG doesn't mean you can't solo anymore...

The other thing is the fact that this is a game designed around being a multiplayer game. Yes, things are going to be less convenient for those who choose to avoid as many forms of social interaction as they can....

[ QUOTE ]
Or have you forgotten that prior to I14 new players had no trouble getting their level 1 characters to Peregrine Island and Grandville and spamming the chat channels there with Farm/PL requests.

[/ QUOTE ]

You raise a -VERY- excellent point right here and I feel silly for not having thought of it myself. Yeah, if PL n00bs could get to PI and GV before, then getting through the level 5 or even 10 zones shouldn't be much of an issue.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_standard

[/ QUOTE ]

I didn't debate the definition you posted. Your application of the term, however, was warped. The functionality that allows SG members to use the bins to transfer items between alts was not what it was designed for. "Double Standard" implies intent...

[ QUOTE ]
I think I did once. It was back during i3 though. There's no way I'll remember who/what about though.

How about have you ever sent one? I don't think I have.

[/ QUOTE ]

1) Yes

2) Yes

Preemptive 3) No, they shouldn't remove the mail system and an option to disable it isn't -needed- ( Though, I'm not against adding one ). Just ignore it if you never use it anyway.

Because learning to navigate thru a zone without getting killed by mobs is a valuable skill.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sure it is, in a level appropriate zone. I would hope no one would be advocating someone learn this where mobs are +4 to them?

[/ QUOTE ]

...there are large portions of AP that are level 5-6. And level 1 missions that send you to the back end of those areas.

[ QUOTE ]
Go and read up on some developer comments about the AE. The devs have been stating it IS completely viable to level from 1-50 in the AE. Read up on what has been going on before you post.

They also said it in closed beta that they want AE to be a viable 1-50 path.

Ah, right, you're using an absurdly thinly stretched definition of "touting"...

its this double standard that bugs me. if players in supergroups can do it easily, then solo players should have an easy method also.

[/ QUOTE ]
It's not a double standard at all. The practice is 'frowned upon' by the devs so there are no systems to facilitate it. Solo players can't start task forces, either. This is not a first person shooter. This game is built around cooperation and teaming. Most of it CAN be soloed, but it's not designed as a solo game so the soloist has some extra hoops to jump through and some things are difficult or even impossible.

[/ QUOTE ]

it is a double standard. if the devs "frown" upon it and dont want us to transfer inf between characters, then no one should be able to do it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Wrong. The devs "frown upon it", but that doesn't mean they're outright against it. It just means they're not going to actively support it, but if someone finds a way as a side-effect of another feature ( which is the case here ), they're not going to go out of their way to stop it.

[/ QUOTE ]

its still a double standard. here is the definition of double standard -

Which is a flawed argument if that's your primary objection.

[/ QUOTE ]

Flawed how exactly? Opening up the can of worms to alter the game to make some players play the game the way others want IS a slippery slope.

...ah, you're still basing it on misconstruing what others have said in spite of being corrected numerous times. Gotcha. Goodbye, troll. *click*
