Then why not just switch the team over to doing your missions at your level? -

I think the changes are good because they let players who want to farm or PL do it without having to find fillers, and it lets players who don't farm or PL avoid the tells and broadcast spam asking for fillers. Everyone gets to play the game the way they want to play it, but with less impact on other players who might not share their views on playing the game.

/yawn don't care.
EDIT: Everything Posi posted in there is win.
Now the farmers and plers can go about their business and you never have to worry about being bothered by them. The anti-plers and anti-farmers can also go about theirs.
And the RMTers, I got two words for ya: SUCK IT!
muahahhaha.
Pure win, Posi!

Quote:I kind of agree. i see people trying to do ITF's and Stf's without the proper training. The devs should set it so you need at least 10 lvl 50's before you are allowed to do these TF's. That will ensure you have the required experience and AT knowledge.Originally Posted by Gitch
Hydro I have to disagree with you a bit here. The MA content teaches you only how to run mishs, farms or not. It does nothing to inform a new player about the game world around them. And no matter how great MA content CAN be it is nothing compared to the awe at seeing the splendor of the different city zones. Conversly the standard content does prepare the characters to better handle and explore the world around them. The contacts are constantly teaching you the history and mechanics of the game world. They force you to figure out travel powers and aggro ranges etc.. Like when we all first had to go to the hollows and wonder how on earth we could live to get to the otherside to run our mish.
Running MA content only deprives new people from learning about IO's, granting access to Ouro and Cimerora, earning capes and auras, navigating the world, Task Forces and a chance to test there toons against balanced spawns to name just a few.
People most often choose to go with the flow of least resistance and like to do what everyone else is doing. In other words people grow up by imitating the others around them. Now if you are brand new to the game and you log into AP what are you surrounded by? MA farm teams spamming for members and people looking to PL is what. Now you can say that this existed pre MA in PI with all the demon farming etc., but I didnt even find PI for the first year I played cause I never had a reason to go there (I was very alt-aholic back then). Even then the mechanics of sk'ing came into play and you had to have someone willing to pl and a bridge. All these "safeties" are removed in MA so once again people will go with the path of least resistance and do what everyone else is doing to lvl their toons.
If you dont agree with my methods for "locking MA content" out of hands of low level toons. What if instead MA was unlockable at lvl 50 like the epic AT's. That way you are "forced" to play regular content at least once, and then if you want to live in the AE building for the rest of your gaming experience you can.

Quote:You are an elitist *****. How about a tank that doesnt have taunt. etc etc. You dont get to choose their powers or when they execute them. I would kick you from the team the minute you gave the star back. There have been players like this for 5 years. Nothing new.Originally Posted by Shadow_Wail
no...when they learn to play they can join the rest of us...
I clearly said they can play with eachother. I also screen to see how many AE badges they have compared to their vet badges. IFf they have the 12 month badge and AE badges I dont really mind but when you have more AE badges than anything else I do mind and remove them.
It isn't welcoming but it is fair, it is fair the the rest of the team that has for years grinded, teamed, perfected their toons and spent months getting levels compared to a lazy N00b that AE's during DBL-XP.
I could care less about how everyone else feels about AE and their right to play how they want... just don't ruin my experience since I am also paying to play.
There is nothing wrong with me trying to assure that I maintain the highest quality control in my teams so the team can have as much fun as possible.
The community doesnt understand how much it sucks to have a therm on a team that doesnt use his therm goodness or to have a kin that doesnt SB...
How bout a Dom that doesn't take his ST Holds or ST Immobs.
The best is the Mind/Thorn that didn't take the confuse attacks and blamed the rest of the team for how fast he face planted. He also said that he did so well in AE and he doesnt know why he isnt doing so well in PvE.
This brings up a prime example of why AE is bad. You have a map full of bosses and full of awesome XP but... the map is filled with just one type of foe, in a real mission you have so many variables and so many things that when you leave the AE wading pool, you are screwed and can't play right and are directly making the experience of others suck.
If the AE N00bs want to AE... let them stay there in their own lil building. -
If there are that many new players, the AE did its job. The devs are not about to geld it to make people play with you. I did 7 tf's between 2 servers this weekend. There are plenty of teams out there, you have to find them.
I am getting tired with the complaining about new players. When we started playing, we were shown the ropes. Last week I took a new player, helped him get to lvl 7, showed him the hollows, kings row, steel canyon etc. Even tp'd him to the costume shop to make some alterations. Gave him some inf to start him out right. That guy will probably stick around, as opposed to those you kick from your team because they dont have enough vet badges. -

Simply because they COULD do something doesn't mean there's a snowball's chance in Hell with the heat turned up that it's going to happen.
Now that you've picked your nit, you feel better?
[/ QUOTE ]
It was never my intention to "pick a nit" it just bugs me seeing people say things like "The devs couldn't do that because it would be like false advertising with the Architect edition on the shelves".
My only point (originally) was that there is no such thing as "false advertising" when it comes to MMO's. They frequently change in drastic ways from whatever is advertised on the original box(or even subsequent re-releases).
That was it. Nothing else. I didn't intend to imply that I thought they should or shouldn't do anything, only that they could if they chose.
[/ QUOTE ]
false advertising is what a jury says it is. That statement is not a bullet proof shield protecting them from liability. Just like a sign saying "management is not responsible for any injury" actually protects them from liability. If it was insurance companies would be in trouble. -

Defender damage is sub par overall. Once it is accepted you get used to it.

But the inherent makes up for it. Once I solo'd the minions sitting at the statue in atlas. Man, they didnt have a chance. Scrappers better watch themselves, I'm gonna run them over. -

I think the devs play on both sides of the Farming issue!
If I were a Dev, I would remove the XO from AE missions, increase the number of tickets required to buy stuff, slightly increase the amount of tickets obtained from a mission...that would nearly eliminate the AE from a farming tool and move the mechanic of this feature to content based...( I am sure the dev team is looking at the mastermind behind User Content and is kicking them)
In order to remove regular farming, I would make missions non repeatable, I also wouldn't allow to drop missions.
If a mission wants to be repeated, it can be done so as far as the mission gets nerfed XP.
In order to prevent the market issues that create farming I would cap items bids on the BM/WW...If certain recipes only go for 10 million and not 50 million there would be no need to play the market/Farm/PL!
To me it seems the devs like farming, they went so far as to create custom difficulty settings that allows a player of 1 play like a team of 8....I am against farming but the devs seem to be happy to assist farming!
[/ QUOTE ]
If I were a dev, I would eliminate exploits whenever found. I would continue to tweak and refine. I would quickly get the next issue into beta to add content and make a "new shiny". I would go ahead with GR and put it out as soon as it was ready.
Kinda like they are doing...Geee, I oughta be a dev!!!

They keep forgetting about the spawn slider coming. >
[/ QUOTE ]
You do realize that the spawn slider, unless enabled for AE missions, is meant as a tool to attract people to farm the normal game content, where the Devs actually have much better control over exploits and Risk vs Reward concepts, right?
[/ QUOTE ]
you have the sekrit info that this will not be in AE? will there be separate difficulty changers for AE???? A betting man would say no. -

I also find the game-world justification somewhat problematic. Taunt is already a somewhat artificially-feeling power as is; I'm not sure I want to exacerbate that by making it more artificial and on top of that see it being used more frequently for reasons that do not relate to its primary purpose.
[/ QUOTE ]
Well, technically, taunt (at least the ST section) will change from "hey, yommaa!" to "hey, you better take me down cos I'm now going to kick bellow the waist"

Would taunt retain the agro generation(aoe)? -

no character is flagged to get more tickets. the cap for any mission is 1500 so unless you are not finishing the mission or inviting people after you have set the mission then you should both end up with 1500 tickets.
[/ QUOTE ]
You have no idea what characters are flagged for what. It very well may be a problem. Reward calculations are complicated stuff. there is always the possibility that a bug has appeared, just like any other part of the game. /bug it and hopefully we will find if it is a problem. -

The Dev's will have to be very careful with the implementation of this feature, it could well result in a situation where 'Soloing with the spawns up' could be more rewarding that teaming, which would serve as a dis-incentive to team, which would be bad.
[/ QUOTE ]
or they could fix the fact that soloers get better drops than teams.
[/ QUOTE ]
they get the same drops as teams, they just don't have to split them.
Teams already get an XP subsidy, now they need a drop subsidy as well?
[/ QUOTE ]
It has to do with what the devs want to see. If they like lots of solo'ing, then no. If they want to encourage teams, then yes. All depends on what kind of game posi wants to see. -

This doesn't make sense. If anything it will clean up b-cast.
As I've said before those farming probably wouldn't be playing with you anyway if they weren't farming.
[/ QUOTE ]
I think there is confusion between those that want bcast only for lft or hot catgirl ERP and those that want to stop playing with themselves..or by themselves whatever. The latter group will hate this. They still wont be able to stand on the corner and get picked up(by a team). The former will love it, the farmers didnt like having to search for fillers any more than you liked having them search.
[/ QUOTE ]
I HATED ASKING PEOPLE TO FILL.
I didn't want to bother you, I want you to have as much fun ingame as I am having.
The way you play is GREAT for you, and it makes me happy you enjoy it.
The way I like to play should NEVER impede on your fun-ness. But, I like to play on maps set to 6 with just my hubby.
----- Sometimes/alot of the time we team with friends also, but thats not what I am talking about atm-----
I want to have as much fun as possible, and I hope you all feel the same.
This new option will make it so I never have to bother you. I would appreciate the same in return.
[/ QUOTE ]
right on. I never had a problem filling for people, this will help us become a more polite community. I see nothing but win from this change. -

Ok...I don't think this has been suggested yet...at least I hope not
To fix farming without making drastic changes to the way the MA works, and at the same time revitalize an old zone that hasn't seen use in some time, the devs could remove ALL AE buildings from the rest of the game and put a single, unmarked, building containing the MA in the Shadow Shard.
Also make the Shadow Shard a coop zone and give the villains access...
I can just imagine the lowbies trying to navigate those stupid jump things.

This thread needs to GTFO! I'm tired of going to every [censored] forum and seeing an AE RUINED THE GAME or REMOVE FARMING or REMOVE XP bull [censored] thread.

Quite obviously you'd need to remove the level restriction on the zone.
And even more obvious is the fact that this isn't a serious solution, but more of a way to get people to think outside their tiny little box.
Ah well....
[/ QUOTE ]
I see no indication in your original post that implies the suggestion being serious or not so how were you expecting me to not take it seriously?
I'm sure there's a good reason there's a level restriction for the area too, one of them being perhaps to prevent lowbies from beng able to buy raptor packs there and thus invalidating the incentive to do the safeguard mission to get it.
Last but not least Peregrine Island isn't intended for lowbies anyway. I'd imagine it's hard enough running past snipers there to get to Portal Corp without getting one-shotted.
