I'm hoping a lot more leadership is seen around.
I'm expecting a lot more stealth pool as mules for KB protects, LoTG etc. -
When you log in, in the main chat windows, along with any free tailor sessions, it should state 'you have a freespec' or similar.
Or type in the chat window "/respec" if you have one, it will start (you can cancel it without using it) -
9 for power pools and epics
3 for EATs
9 for bases. -
I was hoping for a badge with respec token like a vet respec, along with the freespec.
Oh well, two freespecs is workable, though no way in hades I'll get time to respec many characters in a week, even I do nothing else gamewise, I cant see me getting more than six to eight done in a week. And I have alot more than that characters that will want to respec.
Doubt all that many will need the two respecs worth of changing... have to spend some time looking. -
Thank you very much for your work - cant wait to download it

Quote:Its easy for smalls bases starting up to go into negatiive prestige. They get the bonus for sign up, buy some salvage racks, and then some people leave as a start up base isnt thier thing, taking thier prestige bonus with them.Originally Posted by Shadestorm
You're kidding right? Prestige is an all gain near-zero loss economy. Other than rent, which is extremely affordable, it is impossible to lose prestige. If anything, prestige is far too easy to both get and keep with the lack of base raids and the lowered costs for base items.
For some bonus Prestige, don't forget that characters from goldside are worth 100k prestige for sign up. That would help a lot.
The only stingy thing I find about prestige is the lack of it for the zombie/rikti invasions. You're defending earth and you dont even get 1 prestige for most of the kills. -

This was going to be my comment. Other than it being a minor annoyance, as long as it isn't causing you any issues, is it really that big of a deal?

I'll add my welcome to the game too, and add that paragon wiki, supergroups and global channels are great tools for learning more about how to enjoy playing.

Love the rikti invasions!

Quote:I like the alt train location idea. It might become like the hami raid where you can get lagged off and not able to rejoin - assuming a full zone.Originally Posted by Flarstux
What about a separate instance of the zone being invaded, accessible via the train?
"Invasive Activity detected in Powtown! Board the nearest train to participate! Or don't!"
Or even a little pop up thingee like a team invitation that, if you click to accept, sends you to the invasion area. -
Quote:My point is I think it will be effective to complain eslewhere, maybe as well as in here if you think it will do good.Originally Posted by Lemur Lad
It's not in thread complaining, it's a reply to something the moderator himself posted here. If it were random griping, you'd have a point. However this is an attempt at a discussion with the person who made the statements in the place he made them.

Quote:Hrrrmmmm. I still think complaints about moderation rules be better served directed towards NCSoft than in thread complaining.Originally Posted by Lemur Lad
Mod8 was largely responsible for the writing of the current rules. He obviously had to get approvals from various unknown people(s) but any further changes in the rule or enforcement start by talking to him.
This coming from someone who used to be a player representative on the secret committee to talk with the mods about this sort of thing (now defunct).
Very interesting its mod8 that's created the extra workload and draconian rles. -
Quote:Really, those of us upset with the moderation rules should take our complaints to a more proper place, namely express them to NCSoft (maybe via customer support) not the mods who have to enforce what they get told to enforce.Originally Posted by Zyphoid
I like this one.
I have to agree these rules are a bit overbearing. You need to decide if you still want this to be a community or not. As they stand, the rules are tearing down the community, for the sake of what I am unsure.
There are other games that I have tried, but the community always pales in comparison to the CoX community. I fear that the tyrannical policies being pushed will damage that aspect for many people.
I also find it odd that the names of other games are more heavily monitored than some curse words, or personal attacks on these boards. I find that to be an odd priority to have.
Complaining in this thread would be meaningless, no matter how many. Enough complaints to NCSoft about the moderation rules might have an effect. -
Human Nature being human nature, I could see people wanting to end thier hero's account with mass spam/offensive behaviour if they got a cool ending like ghost widow taking them out.

Quote:Agreed, there is a lot of content that I will never see or play in City.Originally Posted by Feycat
You use the word content, but I think you're really meaning levels, no matter what you say downthread. There is a LOT of content in this game. I haven't even seen it all and I've been playing for 6 years. Just because there is a lot of repetitive content in the game doesn't mean it all is, or that there aren't interesting storylines and environments to explore. I do not believe that one can blow through ALL the CONTENT in this game in 6 weeks, unless one is playing upward of 8 hour a day. -
Oh and some other feedback about the event.
The salvage dropping from enemies and from door clicking means they are almost worthless for rare salavage. If intent is for everyone to be able to buy them easily, then okay.
Maybe make a hallowwen inspiration (like teh christmas ones) instead of salavge from door clicking.
The credit for costumes in team when someone else gets them makes it very easy to get the otherwise grindy 50 temp badge.
The sidekick or whatever bug stopping non team leaders from getting costume badges is awful when you have to have a costume to get the tip mission, and makes those with con costumes life a lot easier.
The mission is very easy to stealth which is probably a good thing as have to repeat it a lot of times if you want the badges.
Enjoying it as normal. -
Quote:Are you really saying that all wiccans don't exist, and you consider the badge title is offensive.....Originally Posted by Golden Girl
No it isn't - the "witches" who were murdered weren't real witches, because those don't exist - it was like accusing and murdering people for being elves or fairies or pixies - mass-murder for the "crime" of being something that never existed.
The witches in the game are "real" witches - so they have totally no conenction to the women who were murdered for being "witches", so the badge title is not only crass and offensive, it doesn't even make any sense either. -
very cool

Quote:Good point.Originally Posted by Minotaur
Yeah, but all you have to do is team with somebody who's done those missions while they talk to the latin student to get into cim.
-
Also make sure you don't have a mission selected (with the red directional marker).
You may need to complete one or abandon it -
Its not just getting to 50 without training, but also without fighting.
Door sitting doesnt require AE, and I'd agree with those that joining a fighting team as a dorr sitter is breaking spirit of challenge. -
So I wonder why its callen a tip mission if it doesnt drop from a mob, doesnt change (tip) your alignment at all. Is it just what the cool kids call missions now?
-
IIRC there are a couple of missions in midnighters arc that cant be dropped, save percy and save sucide jane.
-
Kill them all, let the mediport sort them out.

I was getting credit for costumes without any actual costumes dropping. In approx three hours of ToTing, only the team leader got costumes as drops. (yes I looked in trays and in power list)
I was in a level approriate area the entire time.
Very annoying.
