AE issue the Extreme Disaster and waste of time.
If you are meaning the changes to the system with requiring all tier baddies (minions, lieuts and bosses) then yes it can be disastrous to some teams. A waste of time? I don't think so. Now, I am hoping that AE will be used for what it was intended for... good storylines. So those out there that still want to put together a nice storyline will not find it a waste.
The AE babies that we still see out there craving for a decent AE farm have to stop and realize that that is a thing of the past.
AE Baby? What is that? Someone who has not seen the light of day so to speak and has only levelled their toons via the AE system. Is that bad? Yes and No. Yes because they never really got a chance to see their powers in action before face planting because of the farms. No, because for those who have multiple 50s would rather get past the boring/painful levels. Whatever their reason, to each their own.
But I am curious as to what the OP meant? Care to elaborate? Or just venting...
Regardless, the change is made and we have to live with it. I for one am glad that the changes occurred.

(what it was intended for... good storylines) Well, I for one was excited about this form of creativity. I even have about 8 stories sitting and they are not boss farms go figure. The rewards for the challenge that one could create was part of the deal and draw, and you can bet you granny's oatmeal cookies that they knew that when the present AE. Removing the influence and the xp potential basically in my opinion was for the benefit of destroying farm and PL potential. The good devs giveth and then they taketh away. What would have made more sense was to introduce these types of changes prior to the introduction of AE. To me that was a disaster. Huge ball drop. One thing that will be interesting to see is how much time people are willing to invest in order to tell thier stories. I'm willing to put money on it that it won't be many, hence another piece of content not being utilized to it's full potential. To me the translates in to waste of time. |

As for the AE babies since the dawning of this game PL chasers have existed from the days of open PL begging in PI until now, and nerfing good xp as a resolution seems to be the Devs answer. I mean really.... Dumping a level 54 mob in AE with 20K+ influence potential down to 4K makes sense?!?!. I know that I'm not going to take on that level of challenge for a garbage 4K influence per kill. I'm certainly not going to do it in order to tell an awesome spanky danky story.
(No, because for those who have multiple 50s would rather get past the boring/painful levels. Whatever their reason, to each their own).
Wish it was that simple..if it were the whine feast would not have won out at end the day on this issue.

I liked AE the way it was because I could amp the level up, take on the challenge, and make that cha ching to pay for all the wonderful goodies that cost so much in WW. How about this as an Idea? How about fixing WW..oh ya that ain't broke. that's another argument..
Anyways... Yaah I'm venting over what I think was a bad plan and decision.
This has been beaten to death here.
Chances are you're part of the vocal minority.
You only get 25% experience if you only use bosses. Just use all 3 tiers and you get full rewards.
Plus you have the new difficulty settings.
I'm a fan of all the changes even though I did a lot of farming myself.
Now it takes 2 days to go 1 to 50 farming whereas before it took 8 hours.
Who cares?

But that's 1 1/2 days you'll never get back.
Of course, for most, that is also two days where some might actually learn how to play their character.

Yaah you're probably right ... now I have to do some revamping of the story lines and character tiers but that's no biggie. I'm still thinking that the xp is not going to be the same but we'll see, I'll run a few scenerios and make some observations. Whatever the case I'll still find a way to farm. All changes are usually a mixed bag, but I'm not the type to just roll with it and since it's probably a dead horse I'll make the effort. I just couldn't believe the all boss penalty I think it's moronic and unjustifable but that's me. I'm probably amongst the minority in my opinion so there it is in a nutshell.|
