Personally the more your alive the more you can summon the pets that are dead.. So I would go defense cap.. Sadly not much you can do to get a lot of defense with DS Pain.
This is what I have atm..
First build gives you Smash Lethal Energy Ranged cap.. Swap out Combat jump for Hover.. Though your endurance ratio will drop..
Code:2nd Build gives you Smash lethal Energy Cap and Ranged is at 44.2% ( pretty close to cap ) But has provoke slotted in the build..| Copy & Paste this data into Mids' Hero Designer to view the build | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |MxDz;1427;704;1408;HEX;| |78DA9D54D94E5351143D9D2C6DEFED40190A940E4CA5402FF0E69418154D4C68526| |C88468D4D0317B809DC125A22BCF9E29B4FBE1835A80F8E7F60F4C90FF0471C7F40| |53F7DEEB5020BE79D3AED5B3BB87B5CEE969796FC150EAFE05E5895FDEAC379BB57| |2BDD9B277B61C773550AEAF3B2B2AA894CA1F456BD5DDADAD866B2DD8847AE1B8EB| |D963199776D7D6AC4ADD716B0B0D0AD45B4EC34D5C7337EC1DDB6D59871FCC4AA3B| |1695D75D6375A546FE855CBB59B4D2C16EDFA367D133B5CACDA3BCD0D673B7D65DB| |59B18E8D2BD7576C2D7B3F45628BF47E1257FA6907D457A279E5FD06FA2E74EA975| |0F88750CF4FA1DF46A7CAABCA1E0EF9CF130DAB5317890AEA29B5F520C1E7D9F72A| |955463F784661F78397D7E4F567FA8914F37F29D681446A367D428800415C843186| |D7450F70E56884654D712E8BA50A12AD4A6DE215D1A9A96D203EA16D16E23706BC0| |AD01B751D88CC2660ADE0334CDF4A09159925090423184BCB165D11DAF8296849ED| |3A4849E94C0A46E4CEAC6A40C2665306914933C266D8A6E9B44A31E74CFC17B17CD| |EDD509BD8F6527FB1E817292D04709FD4808F487A5341511CA1B421331A1A229548| |A0ABD20B5035AED00D40E42ED20D4A6A1360DB519A8F592DA2154F987FAE5D47229| |D0B81C5E7E52A880CD4F90B4612D6D18D2F210330A85635A21A41520ED2549CBEA5| |3CC62137C261F2F3661E4B3FC8E46BF10F5A8314CF2D1A4714CF28D6744C34456A8| |98139AC90B25296F522B9A7C251D8AAF85A6DEC8A64EBD05BD172ABD13F253D5B4A| |E9A868F191898819D127CCCC2C72C7CF849B4A57D5890F9817EF973FA30E732129A| |3F41697FE79AD18B1EB5F84FA4E2EFDC34E59148F928A71D3ABA3EFFFB7CECDCF5D| |05298B0CAB0CC7083E126C32D86DB0C7718EE32D418DA9F3AD5B1D3ACEB0CC35986| |730CBDFCF7F39033837C2F230C0683C910658831C419920C830C070CEDBFFA9E037| |E| |-------------------------------------------------------------------|

Quote:As was mentioned Pet AI is broken atm..Originally Posted by Boerewors
Playing a demon /dark and I am getting more than a little frustrated with the demon AI always wanting the demons to go into melee after they fire off one round of shots. Usually it is 1 or 2 of a grouping.
Is there any way of stopping this or do I just have to micro manage and bring the offending idiot back to me every time?
I don't know what level your DS / Dark is atm... All I can suggest is build for defense and hit debuff. which you can with Dark. Good thing with Dark is you can get into the mid 30s of defense and use the hit debuff to gain the extra defense your missing. though if you can get higher defense I would so you don't need to rely on your hit debuff powers..
I notice on my dark electric defender when darkest night is off or the mob is not near the rest of the baddies I get hit much more. Higher defenses would have neutralized that..
pick up and use Provoke to taunt mobs onto you.
What I did when I was solo and slotted in SOs, I would keep the pets around corners in passive mode and on stay. I would then set up and then pull mobs around corners.. You will get hit once as you break line of sight. Then put pets on Defense for bodyguard protection.. Once the mobs turn the corner they will attack you.. Hopefully between defenses and bodyguard mode you should be alive when you pets alpha strike.
You have many cool powers to keep many in place. Tar patch, fear.. You have a heal to keep you alive during the first hits on you..
End result try to control the mobs not the pets.. I find it much easier that way..
Simple examples, I drop caltrops behind the mobs so when they start to run they are at the beginning of the slow and not in the middle. You can do the same with Tar patch.. Don't drop it in the center.. Drop it with the mobs at the edge. -
Quote:Have you ever used the gold random ticket roll on a consistent basis ?Originally Posted by Forbin_Project
I'm saying the AE tickets are for random rolls and don't need to be changed. If you want to pick and choose what recipes you get you can earn merits. The most expensive one there is only 275 merits.
The system is balanced. If someone insists on limiting his gaming experience to just the AE then he has to settle for random rewards with AE tickets. However if he wants to cherrypick his rewards he has to participate in the rest of the game and earn merits.
People who experience everything the game has to offer are more likely to stay as customers. -
Quote:Well isn't that already listed in the database when your part of a SG ? Meaning Each Bin already holds the tag for which rank can access it. Each Bin is going to be marked with a unique ID to keep track of it.. So with that being said..Originally Posted by je_saist
as far as SuperGroup storage bins go:
never gonna happen.
Primary reason is that the bins can have individual permission codes set on access, and coding around the permissions would likely require a lot of both engine development resources and User-Interface development resources.
And yes, even if you are the only Global-Name in your supergroup, and every single one of your avatars is highest rank, it's still not feasible. The developers still would have to program for every super-group member, with every possible rank, and every possible salvage variables.
I'm sorry, but the "ease of use" factor here isn't going to be enough to justify the dev time.
* * *
Pulling from personal vault storage? Well... maybe. I like the feature in Monster Hunter Tri, and in theory, this would require a simple table look-up... so this one might be a possibility for the devs to look at implementing.
When your looking at the invention computer It is just going to access the bins only labeled for access to your rank. Your basically using a different interface to access the storage bin. The data is still there on some sort of table.
Your not going to be pulling it out from the bins from the computer interface. It is just going to be used up and deleted from the storage bin.
Your saying global name, but that wouldn't matter since the Storage bins go by rank not global name..
Granted there is some coding work that is going to require for the invention computer interface to see the storage bins..
I see it more as the invention computer checks your rank then calls out to the storage bin IDs to determine which bins you have access to. Then it just does what it normal does and checks to see if the salvage needed for a particular invention is listed in the bins.. Granted I'm over simplifying it, I'm just going by weak c++ skills to relate to the programming involved.
Yea I don't know how open the Bank vault system is or the storage bin system is. Meaning if they coded it with just the specific reason to hold data, then I could see it being an issue to revamp. But I would have to believe they keep track of everything to prevent duping exploits and such. So there has to be some access to the data.
I don't know what engines your talking about, I don't know if we are possibly talking about 2 different things here.. Again I might have not conveyed my idea properly.. -
Quote:hehe.. Okay I failed to explain it properly I see.. The first part was just the ordeal I had to go through to create my build.. I was just trying to convey that respecing isnt 1.2.3..Originally Posted by Adeon Hawkwood
Mids is not an official CoX product so I can't really see the devs making something to allow it to directly interface with the game.
All I am saying is instead of the invention computer just seeing what you have on your person as far as storage.. That it can see what is in your bank vault and if your in your base it can see the storage bins and bank vault if you have that item in your base..
Hope I made better sense now.. -
Quote:Gotta quote, it's such a great statement.Originally Posted by Bill Z Bubba
The only thing I see needing fixed regarding SG/VGs now is for the devs to give us the ability to offline invite our own alts to our own groups.
I agree with this one too.Quote:Originally Posted by Vega
This and maybe doing something about base rent.
Bases are either empty shells for storage, like mine.. Or a pure vanity thing, which isn't a bad thing. Some people have an eye for designing that stuff.. I don't have the patience atm..
They should get rid of rent all together until they come up with a base raid idea.. I could see the issue of why you might want rent with raids and such. But now I say either get rid of it or cut it in half.
Sad thing is, if or when base raids come back if they do any implementations I can see this whole stacking thing get hurt by it.. So some really great looking bases might have to get cleared if they want to consider doing Base raids.. -
Here is the background..
I spend about 3 hours yesterday slotting a character from SOs to IOs. Between Tabbing out checking the slotting in Mids.. Looking through my 15 salvage bins for the salvage needed. Getting the IOs I was short on having or thought I had.. Logging in characters to check if they had the salvage I might need. Who wants to pay 3 million when your alt has it sitting in his bag.
Then if your like me.. You have 2 IO storage bins that are full, so you start sending stuff to alts to make room. Using the mail system to send IOs that won't fit in the bins.
End result if your doing this either through the course of playing or all in one sitting your gonna be spending some time respecing out a character.. It just is not a 15 minute ordeal.
Now the idea
I think what would have helped is if the invention computer could see and use the salvage you have stored in your Salvage bins. Further if your have a storage vault in the base it would be nice if it could see that as well.
If you don't have a base and your in the university then all you can see is your bank vault. Or even if you do have a base and storage it can only see the bank vault, simply because you are not in your base when creating at the university.
I think something as simple as this would cut down some respecing time to allow for more real play time. I honestly feel it would have probably cut my respec time by half. I did a lot running around looking for the salvage.. Sometimes looking twice because I thought I just seen it when making another IO.. Your eye just start to get screwy looking through all those bins after a while.
Further what also can toss you for a loop is when you expect an IO to be available and then find out the set is dry on the market.. So now your jumping back on mids crunching numbers to see if a replacement set that might be available is going to damage your build. Or that the set you seen going for 1 million each now has jumped to 20 million each. Again 2 things that happen to me last night.
The reality is no planning saving and setting up is going to make it possible to smoothly slot a level 50 with all these IOs and salvage required.
Consider it like linking your saving and checking account and transferring money between the 2 accounts online.
End result this has no effect on actual game play. If your in a SG/VG you should only have access to the salvage bins you normally should have access to for your designated rank.
Again less time trying to make this stuff is more time of actually having some fun with the build. -

AE tickets are working as intended no reason to change anything.
Excluding myself, I think other players have brought up some decent valid ideas with the system. I see no reason why it could not be explored a bit further. Maybe try to determine what if any detrimental effects it would have on the current AE system.
Lets put the question out here..
Does anyone use the 4k Gold random roll on the AE system on any consistent basis ? I haven't -

Quote:You see, you want to read only what you want to hear.. I didn't say change, I said add. Add options to the ticket system.. I never said change it from what it is to something different..Originally Posted by Sharker_Quint
my forum join date may be in '08, but i joined the game in '07. don't rely on forum join date to tell you when someone joined the game.
i'm not upset because i am not using EXPLOITS. there is a big difference between farming and exploiting. an example of some exploits were the winter lord babies, rikti comm officers and hamidon jello's. those were exploits. farming the regular missions is not an exploit. if it was the devs would put a timer on everything.
well, let's see, they are merging the markets which should make it easier for everyone. i do not see a need to change tickets. they are working just fine.
I would like to see the number of people that use the gold ticket system option.. I don't think I ever read about someone using.. I asked a few times in broadcast about gold ticket option and didn't get any positive answers of usage.
Your spending 4000 tickets for a chance at getting something good ? For 4000 tickets you should be able to pick any non purple IO on the list.. Again for clarification, NON PURPLE IO.. Or at least I mentioned previously have the option between 2 types of IOs similar to what you can do with merits.
Either way you have players who are just hardcore marketeers.. They log in farm tickets for X amount of time.. They run their daily quota for TF/SF to get Merits. Then they craft and sell. While your holding Orange IOs they are holding purple IOs to sell. For these types of players choices like this don't matter because they will look for what is the most lucrative for them.. And all that depends on the market. Try to buys some Red Fortunes. Months back you could buy them a dime a dozen. Now you can run through a whole type from lowest level to highest and not find one to buy.
The point I am making with this is, these types of changes have minimal effect for these types of player. Even if they decided to buy a Red Fortune for 4k in tickets and post it up to sell, which I highly doubt anyone would since you get a better chance of getting some good rewards from just rolling bronze or rolling for salvage. But regardless, yea they can put it up for 5 million.. It is the only one on the market. Would someone buy it for 5 million ? Maybe.. Its a risk that the player needs to take. It's his business and decision to make.
But someone who needs one for a build it might be worth the 4k to finish off his build, maybe the player only has 5 million or is looking buy that one for 5 million and get a 2nd IO not listed on the markt. You can only have 9k in tickets.. So your talking the option to get 2 IOs for a full count of tickets..
I do not know what it takes a player to get 9k in tickets, starting at zero. I know for me to get 5k was several weeks of doing AE on and off. Only so much I can do the same mission over and over before it drives me nuts..
If it is not going to wreck something, then there should be options.. -
Quote:Yea I'm sorry I have tried to use the search.. I tried farming is okay, farming is allowed. I even tried just farming, that came up with TONS of results. But I don't seem to find it..

Quote:Just because I don't like what the AE system has become it does not mean I dislike the game.. Otherwise I wouldn't be here for the most part since 04.. Where as you have only been here since 08.. I have seen many more changes then you have in the game.. Getting to 50 in the beginning was MUCH harder then it is in today's game..

I moved all my characters from Guardian over to Freedom when coming back because I got tired of doing a who and seeing 10 people on..Originally Posted by Sharker_Quint
nice troll post there. and just so you know, the devs do not care about farming. it is the EXPLOITS that they care about. learn the difference. and what people do with their missions is their buisness. not yours. if you feel that a mission/arc is an EXPLOIT, then report it.
now like i said in your thread, if you do not like the game anymore, there is the door... don't let it hit ya where the good lord split ya.
edit: an EXPLOIT is where you get outrageous rewards for little to no effort. in other words, the rewards are greater then the risk.
Maybe you should enlighten us all on what this AE system was suppose to be or is.. I hear people asking for people to do AE missions.. But they use this word FARM in the sentence when asking.. Again maybe I misunderstand what that means.. Again I might need some enlightenment..
Further I did express the annoyance with the randomness in the ticket system.
Simply put this game is nothing near to what it was when it came out population wise.. The market system is based on Player interaction. If there are less players, then the value of IOs rise.. So a newer player is pretty much behind the 8 ball from the start unless he gets a bit lucky with some IO drops that he does not need in his or her build.
By all means if you like randomness then roll random.. For others who would rather pay a higher ticket cost and get what they need, that should be an option to consider as well.
Since as you mention farming isn't the issue. Then we don't have to worry. Irregardless they could restrict the tickets purchase to specific IOs as they do to Merit system.. Maybe make a counter part to the Merit system. So if you want these specific IOs you do merits and these are Tickets..
Don't get upset because I am trying to interfere with your exploits.. Though I have not seen a dev post farming was Okay.. Further I think the whole point of farming is to gain a reward greater then the risk.. Otherwise who would farm a mission when they can just move on to the next mission..
Again I would be happy to read a link related to some dev posting such comments. I have been playing around with the AE system myself and see a few things I could do which would be very good for me.. -

I think we are seeing the birth of another Shiverwraith. It will be interesting (from a purely academic perspective) to see if he follows the same path of self destruction and ends up sharing the same fate.
But as to the thread..
At a minimum it would be nice IF at least they would allow you to combine or stack temp powers. I created 2 envenom daggers.. I believe I had 16 charges on the first ( could be wrong, but I know I used it ) the 2nd one replaced the first one.. Similar to the issue with the Jet pack you can buy.
At least if I have a few doubles of a temp power I like I can go and make them instead of holding them in mail, on some alt character or on market.
Otherwise I can be stuck doing rt click delete and then rebuying on the market.
Nutshell there are several options that they should be allowed to players. And isn't that what a game is about, options..
I always felt that temp powers where the way the Devs could test something out without being committed to it. -
I cannot figure out why Force Feedback + Recharge is increasing my defenses by 10 percent, when the Proc is marked as going off..
Take a look at the build.. Hail of bullets powers.. If you click it on and off while totals is open you will see that some defense is increasing my 10 percent or more.. Mids glitch or something I am not noticing ?

I would just take one of the Demon summon Pain builds and then work from there..
I know I posted a few.. MM forums does not move that much so it is either on the first page or the 2nd page.. -

I believe that's the point made against saying that nobody wants Temp Power recipes.
And it helps not to insult someone with that old adage, Learn to read, especially when you've just admonished them for being insulting. It weakens your own point and makes you sound like you're overreacting because someone else doesn't agree with you.
It was obvious he misspoke. But beyond the use of Nobody he made a valid point.. You know maybe English is not his first language.. Maybe he ( and even me ) are not good writers... Nonetheless many posted related to the sum of his post. Nutshell, he may have not used the best wording but he got his point across..
Many posters were either for or against what the OP was saying.. But one person at least to me found it necessary to not bring up any valid points.. But instead hit the OP with sly and condescending remarks.. And then 20 minutes later some shadow comes in and not only insults the OP yet again. But with pretty much the same remarks as the guy 20 minutes before him..
In forum manner.. WTF was that about ?
Ideas suggestions forum.. Person puts up an idea.. You have 3 choices.. Agree.. Disagree.. Or bring in a different idea based on what someone else posted.. But NONE of those should or require someone to be insulted for bring up an idea or suggestion. IN THE IDEA AND SUGGESTION FORUM..
I'm not upset.. I am offended that people would let someone carry on the way some people do insulting others and belittling them and being rude.. Yea in that case I will make a comment and I will answer back even if its not related to me.. Because I see no reason why another human being should insult another human being just because he doesn't like there idea or is off base with there vernacular.
The OP conveyed a message that is obvious people understood. If you can't post without being a jerk.. Then don't post.. Or has this become the norm around here now people get spoken to like there fools.. It's okay because they are not talking down to you.. YET..
Further I have been reading several of the post and unfortunately this person sticks out like a sore thumb simply because he makes some nasty rude comments. I just got tired of reading it and no one saying anything about it.
End result IF everyone posting would have conveyed and issue with the use of NOBODY and not addressed the rest of the post, then I could understand.. But as I stated.. Common sense prevailed. -

Reading comprehension, get some.
All I said in that post is that they are advertising it on one of the biggest gamestores there is, and provided a direct link to the advertisement.
Nothing I posted there was false and at no point in that post did I blame anything on anyone.
Maybe you should stick to trolling Power. He's more your speed.
Here done for you
http://www.gamestop.com/browse/searc...0hero%20online
http://www.gamestop.com/browse/searc...t=super%20hero
Further from what I can see.. IF they paid Gamestop to advertise, they didn't pay much.. Because the ONLY way you would find CoX on Gamestop is by actually doing what your doing and that is running a full name search..
Yea your right about me trolling if you consider me telling you your wrong.. Because you simply are..
From your analogy if I did a Google search for City of heroes that would be advertising..
End result..
. He was right.. You were wrong..Quote:Houtex
That's not advertising, that's product listing. Kinda big difference. Go find me a banner ad, you

You go out of way to belittle people..
Oh my someone is Trampling all over Forbin_Project forums.. He better put them in their place fast.. This isn't the first time I mentioned this to you.. And it won't be the last..
I am not refuting the fact that maybe they are paying to advertise on Gamestop.. As you mentioned in another thread.. How do you know.. You pay the bills for the company ? You work for gamestop advertisement department / billing dept ? Devs sent you a secret message ?
Answer is you really don't.. So your just speculating something from some quote you pulled from somewhere that you even failed to link so others can find it..
I've been fortunate to see how online advertisement works and the NUMEROUS ways that you can pay a website to spotlight your product.. Again sadly if they did pay Gamestop.. They paid for the 6 pages.. There are only 7 pages.. And of course DC online which comes out in NOVEMBER is listed before them on page 2 or 3 I believe.
You know silly me I always though ADVERTISING was suppose to be for people who didn't know about an item or product.. Hey Plainguy, you know going Rogue is coming out.. Umm, yea I know.. I see it advertised on the heroes website everyday and when I load up the game..
See its wasted advertisement on me.. Someone new yea maybe, worth something.. But we are discussing gamestop.. I don't see it advertised on gamestop.. I see it listed though..
End result unless you can actually prove they paid for advertising or can find City of Heroes on gamestop without typing in City of Heros, going rogue.
You....... Are... Wrong....
And your WRONG because you have no facts to back it up..
Next time do some research before you post.

I have not looked at what defenses Force Field Generator from Traps gives the pets, when combined with their bubble.
As Fitz said, with Force Field you can pretty much buff all the bots to have defense cap buffs. That makes them pretty tough.. Sort of.. Well at least tougher then some other secondary sets..
The TOUGH thing about Robot/FF, which I happen to have a 50.. Is it is very boring at times.. Your pretty much making sure the bubbles are on the top 3 pets and then healing them as needed, usually through Aid Other and Repair.
I am sort of partial to Traps atm.. But if your going to use IOs in your build, then Traps is the only set where you could do a mission without the pets.. Because you would be at defense cap with it. So if something goes bad or a team just asks you not to get the pets out due to some aggro issues. You can do much more with Traps.
With Force Field you will just be bubbling up everyone assuming your pets were not out.
Further Masterminds at not the Arch Type that has many attacks. Unless your Traps persay. You are more managing your pets and keeping them or trying to keep them alive and of course yourself as well.
I am positive if you look down the page or even the 2nd page you will see several builds for many of the Mastermind Arch types. Pull them up in Mids Hero builder and look at them and inspect the defenses and such..
I would go with Traps, Dark or Thermal. In that order.. Again personal choice.
Storm is great.. But not to sound like an elitist, if you do not know how to control Hurricane and other powers from storm. Then I would suggest not getting it.. Many of the powers are not group friendly and just recently I was with a Demon Storm that was kicked from a team because he insisted on running around with Hurricane on.. I ran with a all storm SG years back.. We learned a lot leveling up the storm toons. With Hurricane you can hold mobs in a corner without a doubt. I always give leeway and props to anyone who is in a group with me and I see them running a good storm toon.. Its a very hated and misunderstood set by many.. And abused by many also.. So if I see someone using Hurricane to good use, I like to give the player credit for it.. Hopefully others will see it and remember..
Trick arrow seems cool, but I just do not think it has what other sets have going for it atm.. -
With Robot Traps at least, I noticed that I need at least one pet upgrade for this to work.
So I summon the 2nd pet upgrade which is a lower endurance cost then the first and then I summon FF Gen which is only 16 endurance instead of 32 endurance. I get the 1st buff on all the pets for half the price or a free FF gen, depending on how you look at it.
To me, right now it makes up for the darn pets getting frozen when you zone.. I have been dismissing pets before zoning but not into missions assuming I stayed in the same zone. Sadly today I had the pets freezing when I zoned into missions even when I never left the zone with them..
-
Okay here is the deal.. Not knowing your play style, but I can see you have a few 50s though. If you are going to group with him, I would suggest getting as many group friendly powers as you can get.. Simply because, yes you will be okay, but you have no defenses which mean you do not want ANY aggro. On a full team that is running at a higher difficulty setting, if you end up getting a a few purple mobs on you.. Your gonna be dead.. A LOT..
Solo I don't see you doing anything beyond the normal difficulty setting.
So with that being said.. I would take these powers at a minimum to get your Smash and Lethal defenses up to 37%. Then I would look to take powers that have a Hit Debuff. Which will make you harder to hit.. That will hopefully get you to the 45% soft cap for defense.
I would take power boost since it will help pretty much all your poison powers out..
I'm am assuming your going to use Single Origin Enhancements, so I slotted that way. Slotting with Generic IOs will give some improvement.
I would say your going to have to slot endurance with 4 slots because of the amount of toggles you will be running.. Even at that number I can see the endurance recovery is not going to be that great.
Now with all that said.. If this is not for you and your not into all this defense jazz..
Then I would pick up hasten and 3 slot it, maybe even 4 slot it.. Pick up a good single attack. AOE are nice, but again aggro is going to crush you. I would stick with a good single attack to help the pets out and pick off those almost dead while pets deal with something else..
Though Power Boost does seem very nice for the poison set.. Again if your not into Scorpion shield and power boost, then I would go with Soul Mastery. Dark embrace, Oppressive gloom, Soul Storm.. Soul Storm seems very nice. I have seen that work on several big bosses, Like Romulus.
Oppressive Gloom, A bit tough because if the mob breaks out of the stun your gonna have insta aggro. I can see you doing it after you know the Brute has aggro and you want to help out by keeping them from running.
I would 6 slot your pets.. But you don't need to 6 or 5 slot everything. For Example Tactics.. I might slot 2 endurance redux and just one hit buff.. But nothing more really..
You might want to do a search or look at the sticky to see what powers are good from Poison and which are not..
I would consider 6 slotting Life Drain as a heal for yourself.. Again I don't know this power set so I can see someone telling not to do this because it is a junk heal.
Nutshell if your not going to go the defense route then I would go the group friendly route.. I would pick up the ress power earlier. In case you get invited to a lower level task force, it might be nice to have a ress handy at the appropriate level. I can't tell you how many times my Kin Corruptor is asked what level he picked up Speed Boost at when down leveling. Which is 20 of course.
If you are going to go defense route, I would pick them up when possible. Your still going to have to wait for level 41 to get Scorpion Shield, but I would make that my last level of waiting.
End result I always say. Players for the most part will not see what your doing.. But they will notice really fast what your not doing.. You could be healing up a storm.. Debuffing everyones hit. But if you die constantly, oh people will notice that.. You will immediately begin to receive comments about how you should handle your pets and not to rush in.. You have no defenses.. Watch your pets..etc,etc,etc...

Yes it is, CoH marketing told us this is their advertising campaign.
Next time do some research before you post.
Maybe you should not put a link to game after doing a search on the website for it.. Whats next a google search for COH GR..
My link above clearly does not show COH listed for advertising. either in the flip banner or even listed in coming soon section.. Since someone does not know about COH they would not know where to look.. But since Gamestop is popular, you could imagine someone going over to gamestop to look around at what is new and coming up..
But it is under view all PC Pre-Release on the 6th page.. 3 pages right after DC universe. BTW there are only 7 pages..
Yet again you post a skewed look in your favor and blame someone else.. -
It's retarded when a game promotes Farming..
Farming should not be allowed.
Going into a mission level 1 and walking out level 10 should not be allowed, especially when your killing 20 mobs to do it.. And then repeating this same process another 10x to get you to level 30.
It's a shame to think the whole point of playing is to have some interaction with other players and what not.. Instead your resolved to what AE gives you..
Might as well just get rid of all the zones.. Make the game one giant AE mission.. Want Ritki, Bam punch it up and jump in.. Want freakshow, Bam punch it up and jump in.. Want to do a TF/SF why run to the zone for the contact.. Punch it up and your good to go..
You know when it comes down to it.. They should just set a price on a level 50 toon and be done with it.. Since you can just go to one spot and level to 50 and Farming is okay..
You might as well just charge people 50 bucks for a level 50 toon with the players choice of IO placements.. I just don't see any difference at this point.. Heck charge them 100 bucks for Purple IOs.. If your gonna just give it all away might as well go big..
AE is not working as intended.. It was suppose to be a tool for players to create there own stories for other players to enjoy. A place where players could create the stories they always wanted to try out. Not a place to make 20 purple clown elite bosses that give you 1 level of experience per kill..
OH and btw, so people know what some players are doing.. What is happening now is players are making some very nice high end farm missions. And then they make them public to run them once or twice and then they remove them.. This way it is not played by numerous people and it stays off the Dev radar..
How do I know.. Simply someone wanted me to kin for one these missions.. level 54 bosses dropping 30 or 32 tickets.. Similar to the TV Farm layout..
The tip in the navigation bar.. Simple.. Count your tickets.. Remember 750 is the max before reset..
People are saying that is working as intended ? I doubt it highly.. -

Second, then why can't they have a option for people who just don't want them.. I would rather have a IO instead of a Temp.. If we are gonna force one thing then I see no reason why we can't force another..

You are not the elected playerbase representative, and you have no idea what everyone wants. You only speak for yourself.
Just because some people are too lazy to use their delete button once in a while isn't a valid reason for the devs to punish the rest of the playerbase by taking away some of their free drops.Are you just out of ideas or failed to see that someone posted what you just said 20 minutes before you did..Quote:Originally Posted by PanzerwaffenI'm curious how you determined that "nobody wants these things"? Did you hire a reputable polling company to conduct a survey of the player base? Hack into the dev datamining tools? Ask the tooth fairy?
Is there some reason you find the need to post insults all the time to people.. To belittle them.. Does it make you bigger in your mind ?.. What's the point ??
Do you think I would want someone like you defending me if I was a Dev ? I would want nothing to do with you or associate myself with you in any way.. You insult the player base in general and you insult the Devs with your lack of disrespect.
What is the BIG issue with having Vendors sell them instead of getting them as a recipe drop..
If OP is taking a poll, then I say put them on a vendor..
I would rather not miss out on a good drop because I was too busy healing or buffing or fighting to delete IOs from my Recipe tab..
And for Clarification
Maybe it's me.. But I don't see any where the OP said to get rid of them.. And no longer exist.. But some people need to create phantom words.. Learn to read before you jump down someones throat..Quote:Nobody wants these things and yet they seem to drop more often now than any other recipe.
Make them fixed price item purchases at the markets and give me back some decent drops .
The OP's idea has ZERO effect on your game play.. What it does have effect on is your interest in selling them on the market. Like there isn't enough stuff to sell.
