Thank you for the Wolf Mission Timer

The Behemoth's used to be worth "Mad xp" but because people were exploiting it by just fighting the behemoth's a change was made so they no longer give xp.

At least, that's my understanding.

That is what is really silly. I might not be in the market for an Enhancement or the “Spelunker” mission, but is it really necessary to petition the designers because I don’t know how to edit my chat tab?

Hmm how do you edit broadcasts and tells to only block messages related to power leveling and influence begging? I'd like to know, since there are some messages I might want to hear... like someone forming a team to actually play the game.

Go to your 4rth Chat Tab. Open it up....Edit it to only include broadcast and request. Never look at it.....unless you are in the market.

Sorry I can't censor the world for you. Others have the right to look for a team and transmit on those two channels. Sorry you are forced to share, but it is a MMORPG after all so either accept sharing or stop playing.

Everytime someone puts up a "Wolf mission......blah blah" put them on ignore, then hit "clear history". I am sure with about 5 minutes total over the lifetime of your char (it takes about 8 seconds to type out even the longest name) you will eventually never hear another wolf mission broadcast.

How about this instead... Go to contact.. get wolf mission... do it in the time allowed... Mission Complete... haha

Sorry don't mean to sound condescending, but I don't intend to ignore the world. And this poster did seem a bit condescending towards me in the first place.

I'm just sorry that some people refuse to play by the rules. Sorry for those who actually do want to play by the rules and aren't able to complete this mission. I'm personally in favor of timing this one.. perhaps a longer timer however.

Actually how about this for a compromise... Add a timed delay that will allow you to reset the mission. Such as only 1 attempt to finish the mission per day. Then you still have plenty of opportunity to beat the AV to get the badge and it's pointless to use it for power level.

Or maybe another option, simply make a set limit to the number of villains/creatures that a single character can keep taunted. Perhaps based on relative level. Like a tanker can hold 10 purples or 15 reds... whatever. Maybe not these numbers exactly, but a reasonable limit, so herding an entire map is never possible.

This is better, but I still don’t like the idea of any and all AV’s being timed. Here is another suggestion for all timed missions, AV or not. How about starting the count down when you enter the mission, instead of when you receive the mission. This would give plenty of time for those to form teams, or wait for friends or super group members to log on. It will also gives those that did not read the mission thoroughly (* raises hand “guilty” *) the ability to go ahead and log of for the day.

Befor I logged off I would make sure to get 3 missions queued up so I could just start in on them the next timed I played. I went to get my second mission took it with out reading, *bam* timed mission. Well okay I can do this. It is in another zone, I might as well pick up the third mission on my way. Not learning from my first mistake, I did not read the info on the third mission and *bam* another timed mission. Augh two timed missions lol! I actually was able to complete both, and I now no longer queue missions at the end of the session.

People are here complaining because wolves are a huge joke, anyone half decent tank could herd and solo wolves before they were changed, Most of the power levelers are not here arguing on the board, most of them are out there herding other things.

The ones arguing about it on the forums are probably the people that either dont want to go out and find something on there own to level with or they do not know how to.

There has always been countless ways to powerlevel but wolves were just too easy to pass up since there were melee and ran fast.

I have been using 3 other instanced maps since then that work basically just as well if you plan it right.

It just means you have to actually go out and expirement and look for something new, but if you have wolves from before then it makes no difference.

all these changes did is Cause people to herd other things. It DID NOTHING to stop power lvling at all. If they were serious the best way would be to change PI and/or Portals to need lvl 40 to enter. Problem solved.

Also I agree NO AV should ever be timed. The reason being is get this mission at 1am or so and you just failed it. You won't be able to get a team up at that time and no one wants to help you since the mission can result in death and AV's have almost no xp for them.

I don't really care too much about the issue at hand but I would like to say I really dislike your suggestion. Both my scrapper and my tank started hunting occasionally in PI as early as lvl 36. Also in my super group we do a LOT of sidekicking. It's not unusual to have a team consisting of 3 or four 40+ chars and 3-4 SKs in the teens and twenties doing missions. Since most of the missions from 45-50 are in PI or portals banning SKs from those areas would really screw things up and take away a lot of the fun that can be had with an 8 person supergroup team.

Yup and those of us who still herd in other missions are keeping our mouths shut and not sharing the info. Herding lives folks.

Well, don't send me a /tell to ask for my help. I could care less what you do on your time, but I don't want to be pestered because someone wants my powerset for their benefit.

Enjoy it while you can. Two people can keep a secret when one of them is dead.

You may as well just keep your chat window closed if you don't want others to invite you to team based on your power sets. I mean really...the game is designed to encourage teaming based on powersets. Why else would they want to team with you...definitely not your friendly disposition lol.

It lives!! It lives!! Rise from your graaave.
