Many servers and parts of this game are ghost towns -- I'm sorry that's the truth of it. Whether teaming for instanced missions or in exterior game environment it is like that on many of the servers. I stop playing on some of the servers I started out on because of this as well. I admit that I do solo most of the time, but I do like to team sometimes and on some servers that is very difficult to do.

    I don't know if merging servers is the answer because there is a segment of the player base that like low populated server and there's nothing wrong with that, It does seem; however that we here have quite a few low populated servers!

    lrn2teem?

    I even have a guide in my signature that will show you how to form your own teams EASILY at any time of day on any server.

    "Yay, you love having huge lag spikes as you get near the black market/wentworths and a busy broadcast. Congrats. Enjoy Freedom. Some of us - many of which you will get replies from with this subject - like *low population* servers. If we *wanted* to be on Freedom, we'd *be* on Freedom."


    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH, when was that post made 2004, about Freedom
    HAHAHAHA i am on freedom, lag spikes near market, and busy broadcasts

    O your funny, i have not seen One of these,

    i have Seen none of this , its a ghost time during nite time

    you guys are living in the past, , am glad how some of you have friends, but news players see ghost towns, and

    ALL you people who wanted AE nerf, congrats,

    you have Killed new players leveling,
    and have the Balls, to say, Leave our game, their countless newbs left to riot in ghost towns with NO ONE ON to do missions with

    read that again
    new players can't find mission teams during anytime but prime time

    wake up and smell the decay, i guest people just like being jerks and ********

    also think very careful of my next words

    if this game all about alts,
    then why the hell would i want to make a alt, face ghost towns, and have to do the same old content, over and over by my self

    AE made leveling Alts better, you cryed, whined and taken it away

    i have no motive to make alts, its hard as hell just to get my main in groups, SENSE their no groups going on in the first place

    god you people jus't don't get it

    let players do whatever they want, if everyone wants to hang in AE, let them, all the jerks got their wish of AE death,

    and now their no REAL player base of any great numbers to support people doing their missions, congrats, your stupid is killing the game

    i cant fix stupid, you just have to learn the hard way, mark my words, if something is not done fast, the decay will only get faster and faster, to their none thing left but small hand full of you on each server

    i guest i just keep on playin, looking for these groups "hiding all over the world", doing all the content, sense it seems, you think thats whats going on LMAO

    AE pugs rocked, thanks for murdering it , and replacing it with...............
    , a ghost town, you are all smart to think your helping this game by killing the pop and bashing people wanting Just to find a group

    Looks like City_Life created yet another account.

    Wait, she's a "yellow jacket"? Don't they bite instead of stinging?

    So funny.... I guess you have no clue how much game I've played without ONE Hacatomb damage. The mobs don't seem to care either way, I still whoop their butts just fine.

Thats what matters, right?

    Exactly. Nail, meet head.

    If you consider your PLAYTIME to be HARD WORK, then yes, you should probably go.
  13. Welcome!

    Tip #1: IGNORE AE (Architect Entertainment) for the first year and play the actual game missions. After a year, you can go back and play in AE if you wish. If someone invites you to an AE team, politely decline.

    Trust me, you'll thank me for it later.

    Level 50 Snobs

    Quote:
    And I say "You exemp get 5 lvls worth of powers, and still earn XP"
    Wait, wait, wait.... they still earn XP? I'd like to have this cleared up because the patch notes that I read seemed confusing about this. Will a level 49 earn XP playing at level 17 for example?

    The reason it was confusing is because the line in the patch notes say:

    "Exemplars will now earn XP and a level capped person will get XP converted into influence like exemplars used to."

    So.... what's the difference between an "exemplared" person and a "level capped" person? Once you're exemplared down, aren't you by DEFINITION level capped to the level of the person owning the mission?

    I is confuzzled.

    Then comes the next mission - Get the device from the Skulls. We enter the mission, and this exemp'd 50 stealths to the end of the map. The following conversation ensues:

    50: I'm at the glowie. Tell me when/if you want me to click it.
    Me: Huh? This is a radio mish, not the ITF. We're not speeding it. We want to fight these guys, for the xp.
    50: Well I'll wait here.
    Me [looking at the Bone Daddy and his buddies in the first spawn]: Well to be honest I'd rather you were here with the rest of us.
    50: Get a healer then I'll join you. I don't want to die over and over again.
    Me: Then don't.

    *Kick
    I would have kicked that jerk too. That's just STUPID. There is NO reason at ALL to fear "death" in the game at level 50. That's just stupid.

    Yes, this is what has me most confused, because this "explanation" is just recent. People that didn't want to join before would just give me a "no thanks" or just not answer at all, but recently I've gotten several people that have given me this EXACT reason that never did before.

    Level 50 Snobs

    I have a LONG history of forming and leading my own PuGs, usually with TFs but sometimes on just mission teams. And I always send a polite /tell with all the pertinent details. This has become a common part of my gaming experience.

    I've learned that level 50 heroes just LOVE to team no matter WHAT they are doing and no matter what level they have to exemplar to. They just love to be doing SOMETHING other than sitting around. I found this out after forming a few TFs and getting tells from level 50 friends of those already on my team asking if they can join.

    After running a few TFs with a mix of people at varying levels, I've also gotten used to sidekicking/exemplaring people quickly after team formation.

    So I've decided to try out the new super-sidekicking system the other day for the first time because hey it should make it THAT much easier, right? I start sending out my tells and inviting people around my level or lower first and then level 50s next.

    Well I run across something strange...

    For the first time level 50s are sending me response /tells saying no with the SPECIFIC reason that they "don't have access to all their powers" at that level. So basically, as I call it, level 50 snobbery.

    But this is new... I've been forming and leading PuG teams for about a YEAR now and never ran into this "problem" until just this last week. All the 50s that actually responded to me in the past just LOVED getting invites doing anything, because they make the same influence no matter what level they fight at.

    Has anyone else seen this "snobbery"? Anyone have any clue where it's come from? Because I'd never seen it before I16.
  18. This game is not dead or dieing, I believe I said something similar a while ago...

  20. Well after gaining 12 levels in 12 hours playing solo on my FF/Elec Defender using no Vet luxuries at all, I give up. I need the extra damage of my "pets". So my own personal solo project is over with, I'm going to respec into a team build.

    Good luck with the rest of your quest Biospark, I just can't stand the slowness anymore. And I am now convinced that Defenders DO need a damage boost somewhere.
