Best MA ticket farm arcs?

Posted

I have currently been farming on a arc that takes me 30 mins and I get 1800 tickets from it.

Although I have heard people have been getting 5000+ tickets from a MA farm arc! Can anyone list any good ones?

If you read the patch notes for Issue 14, you'll see that building such maps is against the rules of conduct. So it's really not such a great plan to ask for information regarding it here on the (moderated) forums.

LOL its bad enough with the rp fascists whining about every farm they see. Why would anyone out their farm on these boards so far the saving grace has been safety in numbers

Actually the wording is a "statistical advantage" which means everything you can build is against the rules of conduct. Its time for the devs to get over this the vast majority of people that play the game enjoy having the option of farming. The ma has provided more variety in the farms and the ability to finish them

It's unlikely that the devs will ever even try to remove farming completely. However, it's in their best interest to try and minimize just how far outside the statisitcal norms such maps are allowed to provide benefit. They can turn a blind eye to a degree of it while addressing extreme examples, much as they have tended to do in PvE up until now. Tthe OP is asking for the best farm maps people know. By definition, those are going to be the most extreme outliers, and therefore are nearly certain to run afoul of that rule.

I'd tell ya if I knew. A lot of peeps pretend like they have morals. It's one thing to cheat and another thing to ask about a farm mission to get more tickets.

A trial account and you want to farm, how lols is that. You know threw regular play you can make it to 14 in a day.

I have a trial account so I can post on the US forums as I usually play on Union on the EU servers. I am asking on here since I recieve more replies

I guess part of the irksomeness of this whole issue to me is that devs have built more extreme farms than 95% of what you see in MA.

The heavy MA farms solve the problem of map padding which is something that should just be fixed in the game. Have a slider to select spawn for team size and the whole farming issue goes away.

Hee hee.

The only "farms" I have seen taken out are those that used exploits. Things like the RWZ mobs that were dropping higher than normal rewards. The FFG's from skyraiders that would have 5 or 6 going at once to make them all but untouchable. Anything else is just using tools already available and have been left alone to my knowledge. I still have yet to see a redname post anything outlawing farming, only in the use of exploits to do so.

If you didnt want negative comments, you were pretty stupid to post on this forum.

I just came back to this game after a year, and it is gratifying to see that the DEVs are still aggressive against farming. This is a Role Playing Game (Thats what the "RPG" part of "MMORPG" stands for), not a spreadsheet. The point of the MA was to add story content, not provide you with a way to cheat.

Nice to see that no one has answered your question so far. There is still hope for this game.

[/ QUOTE ]There's a problem to that, everytime a farm MA gets published, it'll get deleted within hours. You won't get much of an answer for your original question.

I have seen the outdoor city map filled with regular spawn and a lot of destructible objects taken down put back up and taken down again. I know that it was taken down because there was a complaint it was a farm.

It happens. My great joy in this is that whiny antifarm people have to play the things because there are sooo sooo many of them. Its also distracted them from their ongoing griefing of clicking glowies in existing farms

1 on the "T" scale. Not a very original T post.


The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.
