Farmers - will you be buying more MA slots?

Someone said on another forum that the way the extra buyable slots had been implemented would mean an increase in story arcs, changing the ratio if story arcs to farm arcs in the MA.

I'd like to ask any farm map creators out there if they'd be likely to buy any more slots. Would a farm arc creator feel the knees to make more than 3 different farm arcs?

Once again I find it very interesting that individuals refuse to follow Mod08's request related to ALL of these farm related issues whatever they are disguised as.

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

I think you might be better served by just asking, in general, if people intend to buy slots and, if so, on what basis. I think you're continuing to draw lines through the playerbase that aren't entirely valid.

As for me, I will probably end up buying slots, but only when I fill my existing ones with arcs I want to keep available. As the majority of my MA work has been, to date, SG-focused and temporary, that might take a while... but I assume it'll happen eventually.

When it does, I'll likely buy the whole 5 at once, just 'cuz it's the better deal.

I doubt I'll buy more and expressed my reasons elsewhere where we have a stimulating conversation

I reserve the right to cave in to my baser desires at some later date.

No because I only publish my farm arc when I run it then unpublish it when I am not running it. Since I am not a silky smooth cool writer I am not going to build 5 arcs or anything crazy like that.

No one's playing the missions I've written... I haven't even used all three slots on my second acct.

Only reason I'd buy a fourth slot would be to move a mission from second acct to first acct, and then let second acct go.


... kinda wish I could transfer characters too...

I put farmer in the title because I'm interested in the hardcore 'if I want a story I'll read a book' crowd, not so much the I've got 2 story arcs and 1 for farming' people. I take it as read that for those that like to make sfma arcs, cost is probably the main reason why they might not get more arcs.

This thread will get the old: Please keep this on the official farming thread, and be locked. With the history of every single other farming thread or a thread with the word farm in it, it is pretty much guaranteed to happen as soon as Mod8 sees this.

Not flaming, just saying what happens to all the threads that get started like this. It is no use whatsoever to start one anymore when there is this one Official farming thread and Mod8 makes everyone go there.

---

Kinda unrelated but since I don't know where to look for this. Have they said what the max you'll be able to have is?

---

The 3 you get then the 5 you can buy, so 8.

I dont really see the need for a farmer to buy a bunch more slots. First off these are the people that probably have multiple accounts, so they already have probably access to more then 3 mission slots.

But again, if you make a good farm maybe 2, who needs more then that. I wont lie, i have made a mission that was good for my character to farm. And when i wanted to use another character with it i just edit it and redo the enemy attack types, i dont need more slots. So personally i do see this as a benefit for those that want to create more story driven content, as i think most farmers are probably supporting the game with more player slots being purchased not story slots.

Qr LOL I just noticed the 'feel the knees' in my OP. My iPhone comes up with some corkers sometimes.

Sorry if this appears directed to you - it actually isn't because the problem is pretty global and not specifically related all the times to farms -- but I wish folks would stop getting on their high horse and tell others where to post.

In this example, this post isn't about farming. It's about slot purchasing. And that makes it appropriate for its own thread.

I don't really think this one belongs in the Farm Thread. If it belongs anywhere else I would say Player Questions would be a better bet.

Yes ... Despite what many people think, a farm can contain a viable story and be a farm at the same time. I have about 4 other farm/story arcs I don't have room to publish. I may buy 5 more slots to fit them.

---

Those farmers who have arcs with actual story content up? Probably. Those who don't? I can't imagine why they would. I think the assessment that the ratio of story arcs to farm missions will change in favor of story arcs is quite correct.

I'd liketo play your farm/story hybrid arcs. If it is possible tomake creative works that also give out higherthan normal rewards, they might be a good way to get more plays from both camps. How do I find them?

I think darth should put in his application for the next mod opening. The OP said nothing about if farming should happen or not. He is just wondering what impact an incomming change will have to a certain playerbase. Anyone with half a brain or more knows that the purpose of the "official" thread is so that mod 8 has less work to do and he can put all the crap that he would rather not deal with in one giant thread.

There is no orginization in that thread whatsoever and this topic would be burried under all the whining about "farming is bad" and "booo you suck farming is not bad".

On topic, yes I farm and have an AE farm and that is mainly what I play. No I will not purhcase any more slots unless I feel like story telling.

So overall with many of the farming folks not getting more slots, it will probably be a bit easier to find real story arcs.
