PLover, actually, all prices have dropped significantly on Wentworth's, because of most recipes being sold at rock bottom prices for people to empty out their inventory and try their hand at another two dozen recipe rolls.

The prices are down on -everything- purchasable with tickets... and frankly, you can run a few arcs in the mission architect, story only, not even optimized farms, and be able to afford DOs, SOs, or random recipe rolls, for very cheap amounts of tickets. Don't have the 2 million in influence it'll take you to get the rare salvages for a recipe or two? team once or twice in the MA and buy them for a little over a thousand tickets.

Or if you don't want to touch the mission architect at all, do the usual, sell good recipes and salvage that you get while patroling, or doing radio missions, or whatever it is you like to do.

As to everyone else? What's the hangup? Twenty or so 'threatening' responses to an amazing content pack, that you want to quit now, or are sorry you resubscribed. How ungrateful is that?

I clicked six month subscription right off the bat when I heard about the mission architect's release, and I've never been happier with an MMORPG, I've played CoH off and on for years, but Everquest was my main addiction, I still have two years subscription over two accounts to Everquest, and I haven't logged in in weeks, I've been too busy trying out every possible concept I've had for characters, and actually getting them up to 20, where I can see if they're viably fun!

Economy woes? Unable to find teams? For criminy's sakes, it's like you've never played an MMORPG before. Let me talk about the typical Everquester's experience: Never able to make enough platinum to buy current content gear, log in and spend ~30 minutes to an hour looking for a group unless you have made friends on the game, hunt for a while until bored, dink around in a horribly overpriced market place, looking for one good deal that will increase the survivability of your character, or his/her DPS by ~.01 -.2 %, that doesn't cost your entire life savings...

Unless of course you're a solo heavy class, or a raid geared person, either of which means you probably have access to better things than logging in and waiting an hour to find or form a group..


City of Heroes, I've never waited more than a few minutes for a team, ever, mostly because I play ATs or playstyles of ATs, that can solo, and if I don't see one in broadcast, or have a random invite, I'm probably already off soloing, but seriously, groups are not hard to find, I was playing on three of the lowest population servers last night, and was able to find at least a duo partner most of the time, and one time, I had eight people running with me for a while. Often on medium population servers, I'll get an invite, or random tell, while I'm in the middle of a story arc "want to join radio missions in PI?" or 'Want to join a fun MA arc?" or "Care for a high inf/exp farm?" It usually dies down after I've been logged in for a while, or perhaps I just don't notice it because I never pay attention to my chat window, I'm usually too busy having fun facing off against foes.

The AE is convenient, it allows people who like an action packed hunt, to get out and do it, without slogging around finding contacts and missions, without having to purchase and slot up a travel power, without having to do some of the most annoying things about regular PvE content.

Frankly I only regret that not everyone on the team gets to experience the fun, sometimes hilarious, sometimes very wonderfully put together, story information, from the contacts.

And honestly, if you can't find non-farms, you're really not trying at all. Try inputting random fantasy terms "gremlin" "goblin" "Zombie" "dragon" 'angel' 'devil' 'demon' 'fae' ... ... or 'cyborg' 'cybernetic' 'spec ops' 'android' 'praetorian' 'statesman' 'freedom phalanx' 'arachnos'

Honestly, I don't think I could ever play all the arcs with those searches in them. People could put in gang, or mafia, or capo, or whatever, but I dislike such piddly, non super-seeming foes. Mafiosos and Gangs are police duties, super heroes should focus on super enemies in my opinion, and with AE, there's plenty of those to go around.

If you can't tell a farm by looking at its description, you haven't played enough, and really, it only takes one load, and about three seconds, to survey an arc to see if it's worthwhile at all, and you can quit the mission arc, without rating it poorly, if you don't want to play a farm.

sry totally disagree. i have had the opposite of your experiences since i14 came sorta out "with all the bugs its not really out yet!"no teams all farms on really bad content, nothing but farms!


prices up 10 fold at markets on salvage, drops seem down but bugs and dcing and lag is all up!

bah!bah! the beginning! yes one month of work so i dont have to for 6 months is lazy! my reasoning is sound and is exactly whats happening wish you could open your eyes and see the truth

lets see, im a lazy slob who doesnt like doing my job, but what can i do about it? hum... lets let everyone else do my job, i'll give them my tools and let them do my job, but i'll get paid like i was doing it.cool!. but the content is ehh! it doesnt matter i'm still getting paid for nothing! hehe! but the rest of the people that can see thru this? they'll be flamed while the rest of the sheep pat me on the back and tell me how brilliant i am. perfect! the devs version of I14!! let the sheep start the fires!

That said, only accepting from friends/SG as an option sounds good.

Also since you have been told by DE that this is not a new idea, please don't start yet another thread on this.

Use the search tools and add your support to one of the already existing threads in the suggestion forum.

please show me where the suggestion forum is! i looked in forum dir. and suggestion forum was not one of the options. when i13 came out they got rid of it or named it something else. now its not there. so this would be the next best place to put it!

Do you have a character that is crashing at the map loading screen? yes

Does this crash affect only a few of your characters and not all? all of them

Are all of the crashing characters from the same Super Group or Villain Group? all groups


If you have answered Yes to the above three questions then please post here with the following information:

Server: pinnacle, infinity
Character Name:Hold,Evil Droid Assassin,Hastori,Plague Carrier
SG/VG Name:Freaks and Geeks,Lost Toy People,
When do you crash:zoning,enter a mish,checking enhancements
Does it affect all characters:every single one of them
Does it affect only characters in one or more SG's or VG's:
all SG/VGs

objective: since the introduction of merits or lack there of,i have been forced to get a farm and farm it for drops and inf to pay the hugh price at the market. didn't use to be this way.

subjective:farming makes me feel dirty, shouldnt have to to get the things i had a chance at before.but with merits as hard to get and so time consuming its just easier to farm. on average i get 6-8 merits a week and i play for 2-4 hours a day. i play on infinity and tfs are hard to come by and even harder to complete.
i would like to see merits go away and drops be reinstituted. in the end merits will kill the market!

yes you were correct with your 1st assumption. i have tried alot and have successfully completed 3 of them the itf 2 times and 2 different respec trials. all the rest have been abysmal failures.

no real life problems, just seems the content is too difficult to complete for the teams i am on.

was just in an itf got all the way to Rommy and we an 8 man team could not get past Rommy at the end got 0 merits. this is the average took about 3 1/2 hours to fail. so i tell you the times are are skewed in a very unrealistic view.

[ QUOTE ]
The part where you said you fail almost every TF you do.

And you didn't get 9/10ths of the way through the TASK FORCE. You got 0/4ths of the way through it.

[/ QUOTE ]


thanks for the info on the0/4 and im about at an 80%failure rate on tfs with an 8 man team. successfully completed about 3 out of 22-24 tfs gone on.this is what i call casual gaming. if its better than this pros are involved.
but some people talk about a better average times, my best itf is over 2 hours,with some ghosting involved. the times i see listed are nowhere near attainable by anyone i game with. so i could never get the amount of merits that are posted as average.
people will flame me and call me lame but these are the facts for me.

so could not complete. so we failed, happens almost everytime i go on a tf so nothing new there.

[/ QUOTE ]
I don't see how that is even remotely possible.
However, to answer your question, if you quit a TF during the first mission that would result in 0 merits awarded. There is a sliding scale where you can get partial merits for partial completion (I don't recall the details), but quitting the first mission = zero completed.


P.S. The TF contact is Katie Hannon. Katie Holmes is married to Tom Cruise.

[/ QUOTE ]

which part couldn't you believe? the one about not being able to complete it on an 8 man team or getting 0 merits for getting 9/10ths of the way thru it?

i was just on a katie holmes task force which got to the tenth part of the mission and was wiped out 15 times or so , so could not complete. so we failed, happens almost everytime i go on a tf so nothing new there.got 0 merits was that right?

Ah the old need to fix bugs but have to roll out a new Issue paradox: each Issue has bugs that won't be fixed in any kind of reasonable timeframe because they are too busy making a new Issue with new bugs...

[/ QUOTE ]


yes please fix the old stuff with all its problems before you toss out more stuff that needs fixing too!

Good idea. The built in search function on this board software is among the worst I've used.

this is the most accurate quote of the thread!!! bravo bravo couldnt agree with you more!!!

was i13 put out two weeks in front of the winter event so in case i13 was a flop you could cover it up with the winter event? because it seems that i13 was a flop and winter event is a distraction to keep people off the devs back so they could try and correct this travesty called i13!. couldnt they just wait untill they had it right before dumping it on us?

Server:all
Character Name:any char going to enhancements
SG/VG Name:freaks and geeks/evil high council
When do you crash:when upgrading enhancements
Does it affect all characters:yes every one of them
Does it affect only characters in one or more SG's or VG's:no all.


every time i go into enhancements, sometimes 2 or 3 times while upgrading the screen goes black and i have to turn off comp and restart. this only happens while playing coh/cov not any of the other online games i play.
this has been happening since the issue of the notorius I13. not before, not to other games, only this one seems strange to me.

has to be the worst event of the year!

i would like to see players get into their SG base regardless of which game they own. i only have coh and cant enter my SG base. i find that a little discriminatory! sorry if this doesn't sit well, but there was no disclaimer that i couldn't get into my base because i wasn't a villian! i was told by a long time player there was a way to overcome this great disadvantage, but i have yet to see this except in the form of "give me more money" i would hope some kind of justice could be accomplished for the heros of the world that are being so unjustly used for their prestidge!
