Lol, what?

But still no fingers.

Fingers, we must have fingers!!!!

I'd rather have a normal auction house than the blind bidding we have now. It's more straight forward.

Wait, this is a bit vague.

What do you want?

Speak up man!

It can't be Rhode Island because of the geography. In Paragon City you have Ocean to the north. I'm not seeing anyplace in the state that would fit the same geography.

Another trick question.

If you start in Detroit and go due south, what is the first other country you will hit?

And why is there a limit on our ignore list? Every time I hit the spam button now, I'm removing someone from the ignore list to make room.

The current e-mail system is fairly useless. I would like to be able to send influence, recipes, salvage, enhancements, etc. to alts. That would be a useful e-mail system in my book.

What's the time length on both TFs?

I really appreciate the new 4 person TFs. I tend to do TFs weekly with my brother and two other friends so this will be perfect for us.

And we all knew this issue would be really light given how soon it's coming out after I14. I'm not getting all the complaints about how light it is.

That's because beta is open this time.

Something seriously needs to be done with the text filter in this game. You can't use the word God but Jesus is just fine.

You can use Gods as in the plural.

Just make all your contacts into nice polytheists and everything will be fine!

Could one of the red names please give us a clue when open beta will start.

[/ QUOTE ]It is my impression that the only clue they EVER give is "Open Beta starts today!".

[/ QUOTE ]

Sometimes they say that "open beta will start the day after tomorrow"...

You can tell that the Rooster Teeth people all play WoW. The mention of sending files with in-game e-mail was the clue. I wish we could send stuff to our alts using the in-game e-mail like all the other MMOs out there.

OH SNAP!!!

Hmmm...can't find it in my notes right now for the quotes, but both co-op and cross-faction play have been confirmed. "Cross-Faction" meaning Heroes can play Villain arcs and vice versa without having to team with the opposite faction.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sorry, I don't mean can I play missions created by Villains. I'm talking about can we play co-op with a Villain and can a Villain play with a Hero, kinda like missions in Pocket-D.

[/ QUOTE ]

Your question was answered. They said both co-op (like in Pocket-D), and cross-faction has been confirmed. Then they gave a definition of cross-faction.

If you think it's so easy to farm elsewhere, do so. We don't want the MA getting cluttered up with various "Go. Hunt. Kill Skulz for badge" maps. Some actual story or entertainment would be far more rewarding, imo.


[/ QUOTE ]

Would you have the same opinion if they also remove Salvage/Merits/Enhancements/Recipes from MA missions? Because if you think "actual story or entertainment would be far more rewarding", then there should be no problem right? You just want the story, right? Anything else isn't necessary.

Better remove those rewards too, since, OMG people might *stage whisper* farm!

[ QUOTE ]

Badges aren't supposed to be something you just wait in a spawn and farm the same mob for, over and over and over again. It's something of an accomplishment, of, over the span of so many levels, fighting this group so many times, you've killed X amount! Grats!

As opposed to "Go farm moar newb".


[/ QUOTE ]

Really. I never would've guessed. Wow, you've opened my eyes. I guess people don't farm a Master Illusionist for the badge for that. Or continually run circuits around the SE corner of Talos for BP masks. Or go to Monkey Island. Or sit in front of a mob for the damage badges.

[/ QUOTE ]

But they have removed the other rewards besides xp for defeating individual mobs for the MA missions. The only attraction next to regular missions is to follow a cool story line. I think that will get old.

At least let us farm the "defeat X mobs" badges needed for accolades.

I was hoping to be able to get extra Vanguard Merits for hanging out there.

Still, I'm not complaining.

Will the new forum remember what we've read and when you click on the link take you to the newest unread post like it does now?

Cause that is the coolest feature.

I'm still worried that with less rewards for the created content, that there will be a much smaller incentive to actually try them out.

Sure with the newness of it, I will probably even try to create a mission or two. But for the long haul? I don't know.

I15 lol? Why would you want hints for that I13 not even out yet.

[/ QUOTE ]
It's called a joke.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, a joke to imply that the person in question had been in a coma for long enough for both I13 and I14 to come out.

But since I have to explain the joke...

[ QUOTE ]
Is I13 here yet?



















[/ QUOTE ]


Dude, you were in a coma. There is a lot you missed.

We are all now waiting on more hints for I15.

The other two issues were among the best over.

[ QUOTE ]
Perhaps I used the wrong term? I meant that we would not be able to - say - grab a neighborhood from Galaxy City and use that as part of our mission map.

If "instanced" is not the correct term for this, what is?

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm not sure what the term would be beyond customized maps. It would be nice to grab a certain chunk of any zone to use for your missions. But I don't think that would be possible yet.

I'm hoping the Devs' goal is to eventually allow us to completely design maps from scratch, or to grab parts of existing outdoor areas.

[ QUOTE ]
I have a lot of concerns about the usefulness of the mission design tool in Architect.

I'm thinking it will not enable instanced maps, and will force users into the warehouse, sewer, office, and cave maps. I'm also thinking it won't enable placement of items on maps. If so, created missions will be a lot like scanner missions.

I'm thinking we will not be able to create new foes or foe groups, but will only be able to draw from the list of existing foes. This is not entirely crippling, but it does severely hurt creativity as new story lines would not be able to embrace new characters.

I'm thinking we will not be able to write any programming. This means we will be limited to boss/glowie missions with the few frills we're given. We won't be able to create ambushes, prisons, patrols, alter foe AI, or have special mission dynamics (as in "protect the henge" in Croatoa), and so on.

And naturally we won't be able to provide players with existing temp powers, new temp powers, badges, costume items, or other things that normally draw players to missions. So ... pretty much the same as scanners, again.

Because of all this, put me in the group of people that expect the new mission design tool to be basically a scanner mission generator, where the main thing we get to do is choose a foe group and write a line of boss dialog.

I'm hoping for the best and expecting the worst.

[/ QUOTE ]

You forgot to mention that we would be getting less xp/influence as well.

You mentioned instanced maps. Technically all our maps are instanced, even the outdoor ones.

But yeah, we will be designing scanner/paper missions that we will get to write mission notes and dialog for. All for less xp/influence.

BTW people seem to be forgetting Abyss and Monster Island villain side. They were actully the last two new zones added villain side not G'ville.

[/ QUOTE ]

OK, I was wrong then, I thought Abyss and MI were added in 8 alongside G'ville. Apologies.

[ QUOTE ]
I'm not really sure what the purpus of Monster Island is but the entrence can be found on the north side of G'ville.

[/ QUOTE ]

Aside from farming monkeys (which is no longer an issue due to RCS, and never was to be honest) and playing with DE monsters (which is a silly use of a zone), neither do I. It feels kinda unfinished to me... but I'll leave that to others to speculate on.

[/ QUOTE ]

The purpose of Monster Island on the Villain side is so that they can farm Essence of the Earth inspirations to use on Hamidon raids. The DE monsters drop them when defeated.

So why is everyone ignoring Patron Power Pool respecs?

One of the biggest complaints about Villains has been fixed and hardly anyone has commented on it.

What gives?

last weekend logged on a 50 and a second account lowbie to SK, filled my team to 8 (not to pad, but to team), and ran 3 circuts of freaks. Was going to do the same last night just with DOUBLE xp/influence/prestige. I am pretty sure I had better 'results over time' last weekend. the reasons

1.)finding team members was much harder. there were already farms running. there were THREE PI's on virtue so broadcast was less effective. Globals were spotty at best, and I even had problems sending simple tells.

2.) the quality of recruits were lower (no offense to those on my team) but last weekend everyone (even the lowbies) were going at it full-throttle. This weekend I had more people who just wanted to sit and leech. Even though I had 3 scraps and a tank, they were a few lvls short of 50 or were sk'd to someone a couple lvls below 50 and were not capable of taking full aggro. This slowed us down.

3. the 10 minutes it took to load into and out of a mission.

I may just create a villian on a friends server and join his VG that he has bugged me about tonight so that i can play more. I can lvl good enough on virtue anytime. 2XP isnt that much better than normal when ALL factors are considered.

[/ QUOTE ]

Only 3 PI's on Virtue? There were 6 PI's on Freedom and the first one was frequently full. There are often 3 PI's on Freedom, even during non double xp weekends.

At least for me, things were a lot better at the lower levels. I got a toon from level 11-26 over the weekend and I had a lot of fun doing it. The only real problem I had was the huge log times getting into the missions.
