Read the guide in my sig, and see what you think. If you like it, great. If you don't, try something else.

the best way to fix farming is to shut down the game



[/ QUOTE ]

Right: except that it's not farming they're trying to stop, it's *exploiting* something to use in a farm. Big difference.

[/ QUOTE ]

Timmed missions, caps on tickets even though i can make more than 1500 in a single regular mission, changes to mobs too many to name, aoe cap, aggro cap, alot of this stuff was to stop farming.

Having 20 things aggroed to my tank as my team took them out was an exploit?

if you think they allow farming as long as its not exploitative you are dead wrong, they just cant stop it

With AE leveling crazyness it needed to be nerfed but don't fool yourself if you think they dont have a problem with farming

[/ QUOTE ]

Wow, where were you all those times that people were saying that the Devs never said or did anything AGAINST farming, so they must think it's okay?

Almost all that information already IS in the game. There IS a "help" tab in your menu. It's reasonably complete for the basics, and anything else ... well, likely too specific to worry about putting in until someone sees a huge need.

"Recommendations on how to not screw up a good pick up group" is not in the game. That comes with "common sense".

[/ QUOTE ]

How about fighting tactics? Such as "Target through the tank" or "Let the tank get agro first"

[/ QUOTE ]

Bah, just tell people to read this.

[ QUOTE ]
Are you laughing at day being used instead of game? Anyway, yeah, we don't have end game.

[/ QUOTE ]

Already covered, look up. We have TONS of end game comment.

RPers make up a good chunk of the population, but they're nowhere near the majority. I could log in right now and not find a single one anywhere except Virtue, and even then probably not that many anyway. Of course they could all be hiding from the 'hideous and evil' farmers and the 'almost as bad' regular players.

[/ QUOTE ]

I never said they were the majority, I'm only laughing at someone saying that they are a SMALL community. They are not.

[ QUOTE ]
Laugh when you actually do it on anything other than Virtue or Freedom. I won't wait for you though.

[/ QUOTE ]

Um.... I play on Protector. I had no problems and felt no grind.

[ QUOTE ]
Are you special?

[/ QUOTE ]

My mommy says I'm special.

Why do I lubs ex-Philotic?


Because he typed that whole wall of text without his hands or feet, while standing in another room.

*swoons lustily*

[/ QUOTE ]

Ah BadStorm.... how I love your "enthusiasm".

I proposed this in the Suggestions forum and got thouroughly crucified for it. Good luck.

[ QUOTE ]
Ok...pisses me off. Just posted my new arcs and of course...1 starred! Pisses me off that someone has the tenacity of doing that. WTH is wrong with these people that are doing that? Heck...if you don't like something...there is a feedback thing say it. If you do, say that to. Don't be an idiot and show what part of the gene pool should be irradited and be too chicken to own up. Heck don't like it...1 star, but tell me something about it...that's cool. The no comment thing is a ******...

Ok that's my rant.

[/ QUOTE ]

Solution? Since you JUST published it, unpublish and republish. It's rare the the same idiot will play your mission twice in a row.

You just don't seem like the giggling kind.... more like the guffawing kind... or the sinister laughing while carrying a giant scimitar kind...

I somehow can't picture you giggling.....

[ QUOTE ]
You play on protector, just how often do those Hamidon raids or shadow shard TFs happen there ?

[/ QUOTE ]

Plenty!

I also run them myself once in a while... *points at sig*

Don't forget these two gems:

"It's all a Nemesis plot." and...

"Not everything is a Nemesis plot."

[ QUOTE ]
I didn't read through the 10 pages of replies, so someone may have said this already...

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, several times. But hey, look at the bright side, at least you didn't start a new thread about it!

[ QUOTE ]
Ok.. i've been here 5 years... and i admit, i'm slow... what is the end game content?

[/ QUOTE ]

<ul type="square">[*]Rikti Raids[*]Hamidon Raids[*]Rikti War Zone missions[*]Statesman's Task Force[*]Lady Grey's Task Force[*]Cimerora[*]The Imperious Task Force[*]Portal Corporation Missions[*]FOUR Ouroboros Task Forces (not counting the Flashback system here)[*]FOUR Shadow Shard task forces which are often times challenging and long[*] The whole Shadow Shard itself, with four HUGE zones filled with unique monsters and amazing geography[/list]
We have no end-game content? K....

We HAVE it. Now whether you LIKE what we have or not is your own perogative. To say that we DON'T HAVE end game content is just plain silly. I'm counting hours and hours worth of content there, possibly days or month's worth.

You must also keep in mind that you've been here for X number of years. For someone new to the game, this amount of content would be overwhelming.

If you want even MORE content than that... you now have the ability to make it yourself if you don't want to wait the months it takes for the developers to make new content.

near-total lack of end-game content after 5 years is a perfectly legitimate gripe to make.

[/ QUOTE ]

LOL. I can't take anyone seriously who says something like this.

[/ QUOTE ]

And yet, somehow, my heart will go on.

[/ QUOTE ]

Awww... ya big ole softie... come here, I'll give ya a hug!

typing my response with ONE hand

[/ QUOTE ]

In before the inevitable joke.

[/ QUOTE ]

KINKY!

[ QUOTE ]
Do I believe any of them have played the game from 1-50 as a normal player without giving in to the urge to use the power at their disposal? Nope. It gets too tedious once you get into the 30s.

[/ QUOTE ]

Speak for yourself. I got one character to level 50 THREE TIMES and it wasn't one bit tedious. That's right, same powerset combo and even costume, for 150 levels. And NO powerleveling or farming.

Again, speak for yourself rather than making blanket statements as if they were "facts".

[ QUOTE ]
Ya'll gotta get faster on the draw. Especially you, PK! Get yo' head in da game!

[/ QUOTE ]

I was on the phone at the same time talking to my internet company about a billing issue and typing my response with ONE hand... YOU try to do that.

Your mistake was making the assumption that the devs don't play the game without their "dev tricks". MANY of the devs have already publicly stated that they have their own private accounts, and have teamed with many of us in the past, whether we knew it or not. Your post acted as if they were in an ivory tower and never interacted with the players on a player level.

Your assumption makes your entire post invalid.

DAMN YOU Yuri for beating me to it!

I seriously laughed my [censored] off reading this post.

[ QUOTE ]
Five years into the game and we still don't have end day content.

[/ QUOTE ]

lol

[ QUOTE ]
Really who cares about farms? It literally does not impact ANYONE.

[/ QUOTE ]

LOL

[ QUOTE ]
But they are also the smaller part of the playerbase.

[/ QUOTE ]

LMAO

[ QUOTE ]
I also recommend you all try playing a couple of characters from 1-50 without any dev tricks, just as a normal player, to see how grindy things are.

[/ QUOTE ]

LMAOROTF@ false presumptions!

Seriously... hilarious stuff.

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!

I also did an article on this for the Scoop ages ago. That might help, here you go.

Part 1

Part 2

Forumite: One who spends more time on the forum than in-game.

*raises hand* guilty!

Maybe people that have been around awhile, but today alone some bratty little kser was going around 'helping' when obviously no help was needed and they didn't seem to understand the concept of 'don't ks people who aren't in your team'.

[/ QUOTE ]

There is no such thing as "KSing" in this game. You get credit for the kill if you've done something like 25% of the damage to a mob. So does the other person. And the XP is divided based on the amount of damage you've done.



To the thread in general... after spending months of my personal time helping people out in game... I'm tired of all the people that get pissed at my presumption. I've seen way too many "noob newbs" out there.... too many people that act offended if you offer advice and information. So I gave up.

Or just shake our heads and walk the other way.

Hyperbole FTL!
