Only the idiots who think those are the "knockback sets", with little knowledge of how much the effect is built into the game engine and therefore mostly unavoidable.

Same folks who aren't smart enough to use the search button. Why would I listen to an idiot? We don't need this same argument several times a month just because folks are too lazy to use the tools they are given, both in game and out of game. Lazy and stupid people should not ever be followed by those capable enough to realize that they are indeed stupid and lazy.

The idea that you don't have problems by getting rid of knockback is just stupid. Every set you take will generate the possibility of problems because players are stupid, lazy, and generally uncooperative with their fellow man. Everyone is too damn greedy to work together. This game's current problems are all products of lazy, stupid, and greedy players.

Cimerora isn't being used......the ITF is being merit farmed (how many teams EVER run actual missions in Cimerora?). It's not being "used" anymore than Katies and Edens were.

And those are so good, no one runs them anymore.

We're working in circles here folks. Every time someone makes a suggestion that this isn't a thread about power gaming it comes back to being a thread about power gaming.

And the first rule of power gaming is: Only the best matters. Every time anything is tweaked that changes and something else *needs help*. It's a chase your tail mentality, and this thread is proof of it.

Unless we're talking about power leveling, or some other leveling method that clearly needs to exceed the base leveling speed of AE missions approved under the changes.

But we're clearly not talking about those things in this thread. Nope. Nope. Nope.

Given that the devs refuse (rightly) to increase the ability to hold items, that award is like gold.

You just don't realize it.

It's a poor work around. The AE, from its onset, was supposed to limit exploitability. They took several measures early on to limit it, but just didn't completely understand just how far players will go to exploit a system (IME, they still don't properly understand that).

That doesn't mean you can't level through AE, and many users and SGs use it for that purpose. The interface, more than anything, is to blame for the difference between some AE missions and dev developed content.

You referenced a quote on leveling. ((This board seriously needs nested quotes to function properly.))



The only two options that you quoted were leveling and story telling. Therefore, unless you give another option, the "promise of multiple things" reads as those two. You need to be MUCH more specific in what they "promised" to keep it from reading as it did. ((If you have a fault here then you need to make things more clear.))

Leveling is still possible in AE, therefore the thing taken away is power-leveling. Therefore, the quote reads as a promise of power-leveling.

I want to see the dev quote promising powerleveling in AE...........

I do agree with much of this. Ninja/Storm is definitely not boring, and it isn't the EZ mode some combos are, but it is very gratifying. You succeed and die with that pairing based on what you did, not based on the RNG. You can mow through things with impressive speed, but you're also not just a leash for the pets, either. It's one of the few pairings of any AT where I can take a mish and faceplant, then redo it with no changes and not see anybody take a scratch. It's all up to you. That's what makes it a fun pair, imo. It's challenging in the sense it takes some skill to play, but it pays off in a big way, as well.

The third pet thing, however........blah. I see where you're coming from (although not all of the tier 1 pets are like that) but that pet always seems hellbent on dying on other masterminds as it is. The Genin all do pretty good damage for a Tier 1 and for their purpose I'd just as soon they do their damage than anything else.

I don't care how you spin it.......no game condones powerleveling in that fashion. If they wanted you to level like that, they'd have set it up in a legit way!

Crying that the forum meanies are out to get you does not excuse you using exploits. Every game out there has folks like you trying to excuse clearly unintended behavior. Good Luck finding a new game that allows you to use exploits. You're on a long and lonely road jumping from game to game.

Like most of what finds its way onto this board, the OP wasn't a real suggestion. Real suggestions require a modicum of work on the poster's part, and that's a foreign concept on this board.

Just how it is........

Solo means singular.....i.e. just one person.

I wouldn't have marked it 'easy', given what that terms means for this particular game, but the Magi aren't that bad. They're certainly no worse as bosses against a solo toon than many other boss class enemies in the high end game.

I'd leave them in, and overall I think the challenge level was appropriate, as long as those playing it aren't given lower expectations. If you go in thinking this will be easy, you'll be shocked, but it really isn't far off of any dev created rikti mission (obviously).

Minimum once a month on the suggestion forum, many more times on the general boards.

It's the law of the land. No fighting it.

And why can't people post actual suggestions and ideas in this board. Some things are baffling!

((This is not the bug board. Have a bug? Post it there.))

I wish I could answer that. There are several of the arcs for this contest facing that dilemna.
