Double XP An Closing of AE

Devil's advocate:

Closing AE closes off mission avenues that many other players engage in for valid teaming. The OP's argument falls as such:

1. There are cars on the road.
2. A minority segment of the populace uses these cars to speed and cause accidents.
3. Therefore, get rid of the cars.

I can't agree to that. There's no valid reason to suspend double XP opportunity for one facet of the game, especially when there are years-tested alternatives. Suspending double XP for AE won't stop the farmers. It will just tick off regular players.

Now, I WILL say that I think the AE building in AP needs to disappear. Keep it in Kings Row. Unless the player's an utter twit, they can hoof it to KR to get to AE if they wanted to, and considering that a player can hop into a sewer team at lvl 1, and emerge at lvl 8 30 minutes later, it's not exactly a "nerf" more than a quality of life control.

Actually, although you make a very valid argument. I personally see it as more:

1. There are cars on the road.
2. A major street festival is announced for the neighborhood the road passes through.
3. Block the cars for that weekend to avoid accidents that would not normally occur.

With that said. I don't agree with the OP about stopping AE. Better to let AE go full swing.

Then, perhaps the detrimental effects of AE in certain aspects of the game will be amplified enough for the Devs to realize something should be done to cut the heroin with a bit more baby laxiti... err... transform AE into an [u]option for[u] running missions and not an [u]alternative to[u] running missions.

Oh... and get rid of the KR building too, it simply doesn't make sense to have a shiny entertainment complex in the poorest area of Paragon City. Leave the AE buildings in "city centers" (namely Steel, Talos, Founders, Cap, Nerva, and ST Martial), add access to them in the Pocket D for co-op play, and ditch the rest in both blue- and red-side.


It's 106 miles to Grandville, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing faceless helmets

... Hit it ...

How about this... Ignore the others and do your own thing... You cant let what other people do affect YOUR experience.... You want to have fun? Then do something fun... IF the games not fun...make it fun or leave. SIMPLE.

I don't think the double XP will apply to AE missions. Patrol XP doesn't get counted.

Patrol XP doesn't work that way during DXPW because they're parallel systems.

AE isn't a parallel system to DXPW. It's essentially straight missions. Therefore, subject to multiplication for DXPW.

But hey. The final call is the Devs'.

I see lots of people waiting to be invited to teams. If more people would start a team rather than waiting to be picked up, there wouldn't be as much of a problem finding a team. In this case we have too many indians and not enough chiefs.

Be a chief!

Native American is the pc term we savages prefer if you are not going to be distinguishing between our individual nations or tribes. Indian is often confused with the subcontinent these days. *cough*

Oh god, that was totally tongue in cheek, btw (since you can't actually hear my voice or see my eyes rolling), but Jessica Simpson just got blasted for using the phrase Indian-giver, which was ... totally tacky imho. http://www.usmagazine.com/news/jessi...-giver-2009297

Seriously however. I dunno if this has been addressed, but near as I can tell, Double XP is going to be pointless in AE. You don't get Patrol exp in AE missions, so Double XP in general is prolly also disabled in there. I wonder if that is consistent and if this will kill AE this weekend. Will people legitimately level, tf, or will they all go back to PI and start screaming and yelling for 46 again?

I agree with you. Since this weekend started I've gotten on 1 normal team & even lucked out & got on a SF Friday morning which shocked me. I think they should remove AE from AP,GC, & KR plus put a lvl restriction on it so that the PLed noobs thats you mentioned have to learn a little more about the game before they get PLed to 50. This will never happen as the Devs should have done it to start with & would only result in really ticking off a lot of people by doing it now. But it's nice to dream about

i luv when people tell me how to play and how to spend my $15.

i DO NOT farm, but i prefer to not have to travel so much to get xp, etc. etc. i'd cancel my sub again if ae was removed from my low levels, which is the primary reason i continue to play this game. and yet, i still can play my character, regardless of the anti-ae people who think no one knows how to play their char because of the faster leveling.

personally, suck it up and shut it up.

I strongly agree. I just came back to the came in the last week and the sense of community and the focus on game knowledge and story arcs is just totally gone. I won't re-up my sub.

I strongly disagree. Sorry to see you go, but me an' my full global list of gaming savants will remain here and continue to have fun on a daily basis.

If you decide you actually want to run with some of us, who are organizing scheduled runs and teams on a daily basis here on the boards, you're welcome to participate.

If you prefer to just leave, well, ciao.
