New Non AE Server


Ad Astra

 

Posted

I would like to suggest creating a new server that doesn't have AE in it. I already know if you did this I would transfer 4 of my main toons to it and rebuild a SG.

I hate so much what having AE has done to this game; from the Atlas spams to the almost dead TFs (except Speed ITF).

Yeah save your typing with the move to a different low population server, start in Galaxy, and you don't have to do AE knee jerk replies.

For the record I would support a pre i13 PvP server even though I don't PvP.

When major game changing events happen we should have an option to say NO THANKS besides our checkbooks.

I bet that if there was a non AE server it would easily be the third most populated one.

There's a reason for these kinds of responses.

If you're not willing to take steps already available to you to avoid something you don't like, why should the Devs create different code for different servers, creating headaches for themselves, longer development and testing times between issues, and many other problems, just so that you don't have to take the simple steps that you could do?

As much as I'd like to see the AP AE get shutdown so the MA people would have to start in Galaxy, I have to admit that even on a new character I'm out of AP in less than an hour never to return on that character unless it's to pay SG rent.

That's why I pay rent over in Galaxy City!

Different things on different servers = different codebases = BAD.

That is all.

This. Had the game been designed this way originally, it wouldn't be an issue (i.e. a PvP server, an RP server, etc.), but adding it now would cause headaches we don't need.

Also, yes, I know PvP didn't exist when the game first came out, but I assume it was probably already planned.

If the AE stuff in Atlas bugs you so much, you always have the option of starting the game off in Galaxy

Take broadcast out of your chat tab: Problem solved!

I'd fill it with alts right away, but that's because I've filled up all my other "free" slots already.

I'm still for moving the farmers to their own server.
I don't think AE is the problem. It's the cheaters (yeah, I know I've made that clear before). I'd put the i13 PvP there.
Do I think that farmers might possibly be trying to purple out toons for PvP? could be.... (certainly don't need to purple them out for PvE game play).
----
I have also posted suggestions about restricting ma use to characters that are of that zone's level or lower. This is to force characters that want to use the AE out of the zones that they have out leveled.
it would put a stop to level 50's broadcasting for AE teams in Atlas or Mercy.

I don't have Broadcast in my main chat channels.

My top tab has the following channels.

Private SG Channel
Private Channel
Coalition
Friends
Private Messages
Supergroup
Team

And my lower tab has

Consignment House
Event Messages
Help
Hero/Villain Zone Event Messages
Rewards
System

Broadcast and Local are in a seperate tab I rarely use.

And absolutely kill, say, my SG mission, as well as making teaming much more difficult.

Yeah, level restrictions on MA would kill the MA completely. A major part of CoX is the fact that people can team up for everything (besides TFs) regardless of level.

MA shouldn't be an exception to that rule.

A few things we might as well just accept:

1) AE isn't going anywhere.

2) LFT AE will continue to be the most commonly said thing in Atlas broadcast for the foreseeable future.

3) Clueless level 50's and Epic ATs will continue to plague us, also for the foreseeable future.

The devs are unlikely to change anything enough to completely get rid of any of these 3 things. I have resigned myself to dealing with them. Or ignoring them. Whichever makes more sense at the time.

Don't bother. Alt is still stuck on that game killing suggestion. Don't bother explaining it, he'll just keep banging his head against the wall of logic.

Somebody around here has a brain.


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

Nice sig, Alt. If they don't agree with you, ignore them. That way, you can say all the posts you see confirm your narrow views. It's so. . . what's the word I'm sarcistically thinking of? Oh yeah, it's so mature.

Kill 'em all. Let XP sort 'em out.

Man, PvPers as scapegoats is so old-school. Nowadays, you have to blame people RPing in the D, marketeers, or the Friends & Family Club.


Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.
