If your character is not eligible for any xp/influence/debt reduction rewards in a Mission Architect mission, you will no longer be awarded any tickets for that mission.

I didn't quite understand this one. I mean, maybe my brain hasn't started running for the day, but it seems kind of.. wha?

The long animation lock was causing some people to abuse it and get 'risk free' rewards.

I believe it has to do with one of the powerlevelling methods.

Namely, train till level 39, stop training and you'll still get xp from level 42 MA mobs even if your actual, non-trained level is like 48.

*looks up at the previous poster* I guess it's to avoid situations involving that guy and an innocent fowl?

The ticket cap math seems off.
I cleared a map, generating 711 tickets along the way. Click the last collection item, get the " One or more architect tickets were not rewarded because you have reached the ticket limit for this map." message and a bonus of 455 tickets. Now sure, I see the "slightly less" caveat in the patch notes, but considering the low ceiling of the cap, that seems like a sizable chunk of tickets not to get rewarded.

How could they remove the chicken tug??? This completely screws up all of my fantastic RP arcs! Why do the devs hate RP??? I pay $15/month, I should be able to play the way I want! If this change is permanent, I may have to cancel my account! We'll see how long CoX lasts THEN!

not good.

Ignoring anyone is a mistake. You might miss something viral to your cause.

It is truly a sad, sad day when a player can't tug his chicken in the privacy of his own home.

It is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

People are just going to find a way to do this emote despite anything the devs do. All that's happening is the paying customers are inconvenienced.

Oh well. Based on this tremendous nerfing I predict that the MA is going to be completely empty by tomorrow. The emote system is the core engine of the game, so there's pretty much no point in playing anymore.

well i dunno, i can see it getting nerfed it theres an exploit, however- why not just remove the exploitive feature and keep the emote?

does that make too much sense?

Since you guys keep removing stuff from the MA, can we get
some word on when we can expect to see animations and maps
and things put BACK in the MA?

Recent problems aside, I don't know how you expect it to be
considered a usable product, if everything's subject to indefinite
removal.

Why not just remove MA since its going to be continually nerfed, and end up as the one issue of regret.

It's where you try to pull in a chicken that is trying to fly away.

It's a one-man version of the purse-snatching emote. Instead of trying to yank a purse away, you're holding a chicken that's desperately trying to fly away.

I think we're better off without it, exploit or not.
