Salvage price is fine. Its recipes that need work. And if one Lotg is on the market. Which right now theres more. But back when you would only see a couple at best. And there like 100mill. Then that is a monopoly on market.B/c they can set to what ever price they want

[/ QUOTE ]

Did you ever think that something that permanently increases your Recharge by 7.4% might be WORTH 100mil?

And guess what? Your wish has been answered! Dring I12, or 13, they introduced something called 'Merits'. You see, you PLAY THE GAME, and do special missions for merits, you save them up, and you can buy anything you want! Any recipe aside from the PVP recipes and Purples.

But that's just silly, huh?

[/ QUOTE ]

Hmm dead server means no SF's are TF's b/c imposs to build team. So no real way to get merits at decent pace. And there nerfing tickets. So it will be pointless to. But done with you guys for the day

[ QUOTE ]


Yeah it is imbalanced. Meaning I don't even get a chance. I got no prob fighting 2 people. And if they kill me they do. But to be held and not get even a shot to defend myself. Well thats imbalanced.

[/ QUOTE ]

You do have a shot. Get your own heavy. Or move out of its range. I've kited people along who thought their heavy made them invincible... only for them to find out that it doesn't help when it's a few hundred yards behind them.

And if you're fighting the pair Sig mentioned - two controllers - you're still getting held. As pointed out long before, there's no mez protection in PVP, just resistance.

[/ QUOTE ]

Melee is post to be in melee. And if they dont leave hvy you are stuck with there hvy.

[ QUOTE ]

So wait you can't do it yourself? I don't need a Hvy. But if you want to bring a friend fine. I will try and take you both on. Worst comes to worst. I invite my friend. But that might a bit of a overkill though. So if i can get him to join me. You might want to bring your SG. 2 just aint enough rep

[/ QUOTE ]

You just whined about not being able to take on three people because they controlled a Heavy.

I'm offering you an identical situation, but without the Heavy's involvement.

[/ QUOTE ]

And that works for me.Worst case is i lose to 2 people. Don't that make you feel super. You need more then one to do it. But like i said i would still try.

[/ QUOTE ]

You've already lost to two people. Just because it was an NPC that held you, instead of another player doesn't mean a damn thing.

[/ QUOTE ]

Controller hold last about 2 secs on my will. So it is way diff

But your problem before was losing to two people, who then used a Heavy. So you're saying that it's okay that you can take down two people by yourself, but that it's severely imbalanced if the Heavy allows the two people to beat you?

You know that you make no sense, right?

Theres a Diff of working for it. And price gouging. And the Markets right now are price gouging.

[/ QUOTE ]

And ya' know what? You're more than welcome to join in. Get some of your own salvage, wait until it's low in price, and then buy it up, and sell it when the price is high.

But that would be too easy, wouldn't it?

[/ QUOTE ]

And that is why markets are out of control.There needs to be somewhere that u can get it at set price. B/c you can't being in competitive market. So people that run that market pretty much have no competition. And have a Monopoly on that market items

[/ QUOTE ]

Run the market? Oh your God, you must think that the government was behind 9/11, as well. There's no one that 'runs' the market. Occasionally someone can have most, or almost all of one particular piece of salvage, but it doesn't last long at all. It can't, because it's a BLIND MARKET. You don't know who you're paying, who you're receiving from, or how much they're asking for.

You want to find the items at a set price? Go fight for them. Fight enemies, and you'll get the items sooner or later.

But what's that? You say you're looking for the Rare salvage? Maybe it's priced so high because it's RARE.

[/ QUOTE ]

Salvage price is fine. Its recipes that need work. And if one Lotg is on the market. Which right now theres more. But back when you would only see a couple at best. And there like 100mill. Then that is a monopoly on market.B/c they can set to what ever price they want

If things are dropping more. I aint buying it. But if i got to buy a 100mill recipe like we have now. I can buy it. Without grinding money out

[/ QUOTE ]

Then guess what? Don't buy. It's not our problem, nor that of the Devs. It's your problem.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ok then give us a quartermaster that sells ever IO. At a set cap. So people can over charge like they alrdy do. If your so worried about that. That way i can buy the recipe i want and not pay 100mill. See markets are alrdy out of control. More drops would fix it. B/c there would be more on market and less buying

[/ QUOTE ]

You're asking people to do work so YOU don't have to do work.

Again; it's your problem.

[/ QUOTE ]

You supported the AIG bail out didn't you? B/c you are sure pulling out all the stops to bail out others. And not make them work for there money. I grind out my money and thats fine. I can handle gringind money. But 100mill come on. Its out of hand as is. And needs a major revamp

[/ QUOTE ]

What the frik are you talking about? YOU'RE (notice the correct usage of the word there) the one asking to make it easier for people to buy stuff. YOU'RE the one asking for people to be able to get things easier. WE'RE the ones suggesting that people work to get stuff.



And honest to god, learn the English language.

So, you're saying that it's three-on-one, and that the HEAVY is the reason you die? Are you freakin' kidding me?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah i shouldn't die b/c i and held by a hvy. If they kill me thats fine. But if i am sitting there b/c a hvy has me held forever and i get killed. Then it needs to be toned down.

Which is why she said:

"Your RESISTANCE shortens the duration!"

So when you have a high resistance to Holds (through Mezz Protection), "Your RESISTANCE shortens the duration!"

This way, that ~11 second hold is reduced, because "Your RESISTANCE shortens the duration!"

So if you have a 65% resistance to Holds, and are hit by an 11 second hold, "Your RESISTANCE shortens the duration!" to 3.85 seconds.

This is because "Your RESISTANCE shortens the duration!"

[/ QUOTE ]

I use a Willpower and its one of the highest res's to mez you can get. And that Hold is still way to long. It needs to drop to at least 7 sec hold

[/ QUOTE ] You would think that after playing so much you would know what you're doing.

[/ QUOTE ]

Look numbers are a bunch of BS i care less about. Numbers mean nothing if you can't play the toon. And when a Hero won't leave from beside a HVY b/c they know it is OP. Then there is something wrong. And i know from playing the toon. That hold needs to be toned down.

[/ QUOTE ]

Translation: I can't beat everyone. The game should work for me.

Long story short? It shouldn't.

[/ QUOTE ]

I still win. But if they aint giving a hvy the same length hold. Then it sould be brung down to are hvys length. Are Hvy ain't holding someone that long and if it did heroes would have alrdy had it nerfed

I got past 'I still win.' and then tried to decipher the rest of that garbage, but found better luck looking through hieroglyphics.

Either case, I don't think you do. Because you're whining so very much, like a kid who just had his shiny, red ball taken from him.

Hvy holds you. Then tank charges you. While blaster attcks you as well. and in 11secs depending on what you are your dead are one hit from it.

Con to your idea:

Players on servers who don't get the boosts get punished for playing their characters.

Players on servers who don't get the boosts must now pay money if they wish to play their characters on servers who do get boosts.

Markets are cross Server (all servers have access to the same market) so players who get more Influence / Infamy for playing on a low population server can out-bid people who are not. This can cause market prices to rise, as people are willing to spend more of what they have because they get more of it, or are more desperate to spend what they have to get something to "keep up with the Jones'".

[/ QUOTE ]

Its not punishing them. Nothing changes for them. If there server stay 3 bubs then they are getting able the same amount as we are.It ain't punishing them. Its rewarding us. You change nothing on a 3 bub server .If enough people leave there server and they drop to 2 bubs then they start getting double.

Markets would balance. If you are getting more drops you are less inclined to spending money for something.

[/ QUOTE ] What about the extra influence/infamy the lower pop servers would get? That would mean they have more spending power than other servers. How is that fair?

[/ QUOTE ]

If they ain't spending its a non-issue. But if they got to spend they can.

[/ QUOTE ]

Do you even realize that the markets are linked together? Cross-server? That means that I, on Guardian, can buy something from someone on Freedom?

And you know what happens if smaller servers get an increase in influence, xp, and drops? Inflation. It doesn't work.

Point is the holds should not last that long. Not so much that i can be held. But to be held that long in PvP is a death ticket

Server merging i will agree. I don't like that idea. But as for making it a reward to be on low Pop server it is a good idea.

[Pros]
1.Better Xp even if on small team.

2.Better Money even if on small team.

3.Better drops even if on small team. Making market go down in price for server. You can't raise price to like 50 mill if they drop more.

4.Less stress on servers. Meaning they go down less and last longer.

5. Servers balance out. Making it ez'er to find teams.

6.Servers like freedom would not be overwhelmed. So someone with low end comp could play on freedom.

7.Ones that have been on Freedom from day one wouldn't get locked out sometimes anymore

[cons]

7. People would leave freedom to hit a low pop server. Even though most will stay b/c of time in there. So they drop from 3 Bubs to 2 Bub and get double xp/money/drops like most the other servers would.

I can't think of anymore cons.

Have you fought Hero Hvy? The hold does not wear off. Are Hvy dont got that. We do good in melee but so does yours. Trust me enough vills have sent petitions that it would have been nerfed

[/ QUOTE ]

Longbow Heavy powers:
Air Bomb
Energy Barrage
Grenade
Plasma Blast
Resistances
Seeker Drones
Tear Gas -> This is the hold

The tear gas power summons a 'tear gas grenade' psuedo pet which sets an 11.92 second Magnitude 2 hold
The recharge on the power is 16 seconds, and I have no idea if the AI cycles to it as a priority whenevr it is recharged.

With an animation of 0.5 seconds the MAXIMUM proportion being held is 11.92/16.5, or about 72% of the time, in practice much less.

The arachnos Heavy has Web Coccoon with is also a ranged hold, but I don't have the exact data, but from experience it cycles similarly.

So in summary:
#1 its not a perma hold
#2 The arachnos heavy has a hold (which is broadly similar but may vary in the exact details)

[/ QUOTE ]

11 secs you say. mag 2 hold. Thats one strong mag 2 hold. It holds a willpower on 1st hit. And in pvp 11 secs might as well be perma. You can die in 11 secs. Unless you are a tank. Maybe some brutes and MM's. Outside of that you are dead.

[/ QUOTE ]

You do not represent a "silent majority" in any way, shape, or form. If you really represented a large cross-section of the playerbase, we'd have a much higher attrition rate due to accidental self-inflicted keyboard injuries.

Like it or not, the forums and the people who post on them ARE a good representative cross-section of the playerbase at large. And as Sigium points out, they have the added bonuses of being willing and able to clearly articulate their concerns to the other players and developers as well as being the ones who typically spend the most money buying all of the bells and whistles for their accounts. If your idea gains absolutely no traction with the forumites, chances are it has little chance of influencing the developers' decisions. This is especially true since our current lead developer wants to foster an attitude of "give the players what they want" rather than one of "here's my vision and you'll like it".

You only represent yourself, and given your hypocricy and your horrible grammar, you barely do that much. Stop claiming you secretly represent all of us. It's an insult.

[/ QUOTE ]

Your right i don't. But i speak about what i see and KNOW!. I had 95hrs this last week.See you don't get it do you.Everyone i talk to say they don't use the forums. Only a few say they do. Thru they day i had to tell people about posi messege. O and the MA nerf i watch are population drop from 300+ to close to 120. When there pockets get lighter next month i hope they say maybe forumers really dont know this game. I play this game prob more then most people out there. And i know what i see and hear. And trust me on this. Forumers are the silent few. But hey when they release another pack here soon you know why. There pockets got lighter. So since i seen are pop drop by half and it went from being ez to build a SF to darn near imposs.. I think we deserve help for are pop.

O and one last thing. I still have yet to figure out why you guys still can't just go. " I " and i do mean you need to emphasis on " I ". Why don't you put " I don't agree with this tread, I think its a bad idea ". Instead of putting " This is a bad idea for the game [ ridicule person] [ridicule idea] [2 hr speech why its bad] ". Aint your game ether. And you don't speak for people ether. You just dont want something you hate in game. So you run people off forums that do use it. Diff between me and you is common sense. You got none
