It's like the blooming farming issue.

I was in the middle of testing this before the servers went down. I don't have any information on what you can do with the MA farming wise, but if what I am planning can actually happen... well, leveling won't be a chore.

Kiting is nothing new but the levels you could take it too with the MA is a bit silly. Letting people create Lieut / Boss only maps was a very odd decision.

What about filling a map with AVs and having several AV allies?

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't normally do this sort of this but I'll make an exception

/em headdesk

Did I do it right?

Clearly. That quote is well messed up.

But... could you please explain?

[/ QUOTE ]

*Fixes wobbly quote pyramid*

Do you really need me to explain why allowing people to make maps stuffed full of minion-quantities of custom bosses, EBs or AVs is a bad, bad idea worthy of me concussing myself over?

If you go to the US forums and have a look at the threads where people are making 3000+ tickets in 30 minutes it'll give you a good idea.

Ran into a custome group of Psi/Psi EBs a little while ago. That encounter went... quickly.

I ran an MA arc, when I was checking the system out.

Nerva map full of MM Merc EB's only

I would imagine there's a lot of this type of dross on MA by now.

However on SOME missions where it is just a map full of masterminds designed for the player just to have some good old fashioned non stop carnage, its good fun Chucking them in for the sake of it however i agree is a no no!

On that note, if somebody ever makes that ruladak (who?) cave map full of thug masterminds again i swear i'll cry. Never before have i ran so quickly.

Okay, as this is a general AND a specific 'suggestions' thread - some villain groups I can see appearing in i15:

<ul type="square">1. 5th Column
2. Proteas (or whoever he was, the one who killed Manticore's parents)
3. A 'more-defined Kheldian/Nictus threat', possibly brought about by the emergence of another alien race
4. The Menders as a fight againstable/with-able(!) group
5. Dawn Patrol and the Valiant Defenders (Russian group) - yes I want them just because of IG-RP! But I think they could make an appearance, as could German, French, Spanish, Italian - you name it - hero/villain groups. Europe must have them - it's not just Americans who have the monopoly on costumed vigilantes![/list]
Maps:

<ul type="square">Moonbase/Space Port (Boomtown would be perfect)
An investigation (and subsequently a revamp) of Dark Astoria. Make the BP more prominent and I think they're a fun and challenging group to go up against. Plus I am sick to the back teeth of 'The Wheel of Destruction' arc and a few other 'one-off' missions. I was going to try and make an arc with BP in (as a main enemy) but my interests lie now in trying to fill the dreaded blue and redside black holes that are 35-40.[/list]
MA v2.0 I can wait for. Yes we all knew that farming missions and the like would be made in abundance but, thankfully (imho), because there's an AE in virtually every main zone, we don't have to cram into Atlas to make stuff and the many farm tells I've had have ceased once I asked politely not to be asked again.

I may well be in the minority for saying that I have relished every moment of the MA and designing missions. Other games can whistle for subscriptions as far as I'm concerned.

Back in the day, got killed by an AV twice in a mission. These days, you can actually work off the debt by killing him and mission completion.

[/ QUOTE ]

To me, that reads as you saying I said make AVs harder.

If you got killed twice by an AV then, what's to change that now? As we all know, they're not the easiest thing to solo.

[/ QUOTE ]

This was teaming. Im pointing out that on maps which are harder anyway, such as AVs and Specific missions, you are GOING to fail unless you incredibly lucky/nerdy about knowing exactly how to kill off AVs.

Debt should be left in the game, thats a given. But it shouldnt be crippling. And for those who didn't always have the time to spend all day ingame, debt did used to be somewhat crippling.

Graphics upgrade.... Or at least, a proper overhaul of all the zones and character customizations. Make hero zones look much more organic and "real" like the villain zones, and overhaul the costumes so that the textures and options released with the original game look as good as the recently released ones.

Or just upgrade properly and blow Crysis out of the water &gt;_&gt;

^ This. I shall gift you with several internets.

As for I15, more graphical swishery is almost inevitable in my book.


Necrobond - 50 BS/Inv Scrapper made in I1
Rickar - 50 Bots/FF Mastermind
Anti-Muon - 42 Warshade
Ivory Sicarius - 45 Crab Spider

Aber ja, nat�rlich Hans nass ist, er steht unter einem Wasserfall.
