Sigh. New idea to fix MA.

I'm just... sick of all the drama surrounding MA.

Let's look at what MA is all about. A creative release for users to make custom content. So why is it good to continually limit our options (like getting rid of chicken tug emote)? This is obviously done to try to stop farming. So instead of continually limiting us to try to stop farming how about just make MA missions give ZERO exp and ZERO tickets. Then return everything that was taken away and get rid of those ranged attacks in the melee set. Then release a memo saying something like "City of Heroes is one of the first MMOs to try to create this massive system. So of course we're not gonna get it right the first time. We apologize for the seemingly harsh response to something that some people don't think is a huge issue. However our original intention was to create a creative outlet for the fans. We wanted to encourage people to play but many people were only playing types of missions that we did not intend for. We tried stopping them but ultimately felt that we were trying so hard to stop it that we were starting to hurt the people that we originally made this for; the creative individuals. So we are getting rid of exp and tickets and reverting the system back to the way it was when it first came out. We hope you understand and that you continue to create and play missions with Mission Architect."

If this happened everything would revert back to how it was before MA came out. No exploitative farming, no more bannings.

If you're sick of all the drama, why are you perpetuating it with an absurd suggestion like that?

Don't nerf my MA XP.

(By the way, this is hardly a new idea. I've seen it thrown out dozens of times by people disgruntled enough to make absurd suggestions.)

You are not making any sense mate...none.


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

lol you've proven yourself to be a troll 1000 times over on this subject.

It actually is really easy to ignore them if you think they're part of the problem. Why, I play for months at a time without ever accessing these boards or reading a single word they've said. In fact, I know people who have played for years that don't even know who Positron (the dev) is.

I am sorry that's like ignoring an earthquake. It really doesn't matter if you are paying attention to it, all that matters is that it's paying attention to you.

Yanno every time I have been called that on a topic on these boards, I have made predictions that have proven correct over time. I think when people use the word they mean someone who says something they don't want to hear.

That. Or at least greatly reduced amount. LOL MArc authors think that 4th slot is hard to get now, lol, imagine if they took out all rewards from the MA.

LOL, MA indeed.

Flameboxer Aura LVL 50 SS/Fire Brute
Ice 'Em Aura LVL 50 Ice Tank
Darq Widow Fortune LVL 50 Fortunata (200% rech/Night Widow 192.5% rech)--thanks issue 19!

....I thought the devs wanted people to be able to level off the MA from 1 to 50...

Sure, not from those Farms, but from the custom content people make, nerfing the exp defeats the purpose of being able to level from it, and only level 50s who've gotten to 50 and played all the original content would bother to play the MA arcs if the xp was nerfed, because who would take a toon they just made into a AE building if they get nothing from it?

...I think all you want is the farmers to go back to PI, which...well, unless the xp was actually nerfed, will probably never happen...

I agree with you! What's more, I think they should turn the clock back on EVERY CoX change - starting with ED in issue three! Do you have any idea of how many TV commericals I'm forced to watch each evening telling me how to cope with ED??????

But I can SOLVE your problem for you. You see, its as simple as turning off your experience option when you enter a MArc and destroying your MA tickets after you play. Wa-lah! No experience and no tickets, just like you wanted.

By doing this now, and reporting back to us the deep satisfaction this gives you, you can take a leadership role in getting the forum community to play MA in an entirely new way.

In fact, I invite you to begin using this new techniques right now. Just play MArc # 1224, Wicked Wicked Wonderland

When you come across the Mad Hatter.
(and you will) explain to him your ideas over a spot of tea.. He can help you launch your innovative campaign. Your idea will then get all the attention it deserves.

Best wishes on your surefire success, and very merry unbirthday to you.

What? If you're exploiting the game, then yeah they're paying attention. If you're not talking about flagrantly breaking the rules then I have no idea what you're talking about.

You claim you're psychic or something and not a troll. You prove it.
