You guys mean to tell me,and this applies to those who simply love to play the game hard as well,that whenever you want to team,and people say "No" over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again..that that dosent make you mad?

This game's teaming rate is starting to match that of WoW.

If Rewards arent the answer,what is,or could be?


Come on players,you wrecked AE and all those teams that I just loved joining and playing,and making progress in-game on,especially on red side.You wrecked AE because we wanted to make the game harder for players to find teammates and gain levels,while you all laughed and danced in joy.You left other players no choice but to use AE when you just sat on our butts at Pocket D,and meaninglessly roleplayed.What the heck did you guys care anyway?!?!You all were too busy holding Pocket D down.


Now,I am presenting to you all something else to destroy:The players ability(including me) to be unable to say no to teams,whether it be trying to get a coveted reward we all want,or something else entirely.

I cannot explain it any better than this way.If you all do not know what I am talking about,dont worry..this will happen to you all in time,and then you will know what I am talking about,but how could you not know what I speak of?

Let us destroy the need to not want to team.Let us put some meat on a stick to motivate those statues with something who just come on-line to take up space.Who's with me?!

Nope. Not having to team up with people you don't want to team up with is one of the inalienable rights of mankind. Thomas Jefferson had it in mind when he wrote the Declaration of Independence. It's a little-known fact that the American colonies' split with England was largely due to the fact that King George III was a rotten teammate and all the American patriots hated playing with him (he had really bad aggro management skills), but he kept forcing people to team with him anyway because he was the king.

Now you've just stopped making sense entirely. Some kind of joke regarding unique snowflakes and unique dragons is hovering just outside my reach, rather in the fashion that such witticisms always occurred to, but frustratingly eluded, Captain Jack Aubrey.

I will happily destroy any proposal that involves "the players (sic) inability... to be unable to say no to teams". The day I'm unable to say no to teaming up with random idiots is the day I say no to MMOs entirely.

Considering that I've never had that many people turn me down, I'd say no, it doesn't. People play for various reasons, and since I usually send a tell explaining exactly what we'll be doing, they usually at least tell me more than "no." But maybe that's just me.

Rewards are the answer. The problem is, they're already there, and you just don't seem to be seeing them. Both the "tangible" ones, like extra XP and Influence, and the intangible ones, such as more fun. All of these CAN be part of teaming for people. For some others, they aren't as important.

Ad hominem attacks rarely go far here. You were loving the massive teams that were there exploiting the system and gaining massive rewards faster than they were supposed to be getting them. People weren't there for the teams. They were there for the massive experience exploits.

People still team outside of the AE. Why you're having so much trouble finding them, I really don't know.

And I'm finding teams perfectly fine outside of the AE system, and I never sit in Pocket D. Maybe it's the fact that you can't wrap your mind around the arguments against you which makes you so mad? The people who sit in Pocket D all day were NOT the ones that were complaining about the AE system.

Players have the ability, and desire to team. I see them all of the time doing exactly that. Again, what are you doing to find teams? Are you part of a stable supergroup and/or coalition? What Global Channels are you on? Are you sure that people haven't put you on ignore?

A new reward for teaming is not needed. At all. People who want to team will team. People who want to solo will solo. Adding a new reward to teaming won't change that, and shouldn't be done anyways.

We do know what you're talking about. We just see it far less often for various reasons.

Not I. Because you still have yet to learn that people play this game for different reasons. Some have different machine capabilities, and might not be able to join large teams. You still have yet to get your head around the idea that people might just not want to team with you.

But saying that those people are "just taking up space" is a joke. For many reasons. If people have a desire to not want to team, you're not making them not want to, even if you offered a huge reward.

Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

teaming is not required in this game. and no i don't get mad if i ask so meone to team and they say no. this post, as well as many of your others shows exactly why people don't want to team with you. and saying that the players wrecked AE is definatively putting both feet in your mouth. maybe if you bothered to global the people that you do get to team with then you wouldn't have this problem. of course if on a team you act like this also, then i wouldn't wan't you on my global either.

please DO NOT make another thread like this. we do not need it. you just simply need to learn to play nice with others.

Nope. Not one bit.

Forced teaming is the worst, most repulsive element of any game I have ever tried. In fact, this notion that teaming is the only "proper" way to play the game needs to die, not to put too fine a point on it. You WILL NOT force me to team with you against my will. Deal with it.

Nope.

Then again, I don't demand everyoen drop everything RIGHT NOW and team with me.

Won't find me teaming there, either. Then again, that's because I don't play WoW.

Be someone people want to team with? Don't be a demanding, selfish, ignorant git? Don't get worked up because someone else has kids to take care of, work to concentrate on, might be working on a base or costumes, or just doesn't want to team with anyone (OR specifically YOU) right this second?

The players ability(including me) to be unable to say no to teams
I have the ultimate trump card if the devs ever became drooling idiots and put something like this in - *I can cancel my subscription.* As can everyone else.

In which case... you STILL won't have a team.

I have a solution for you. Go play guild wars. You can buy NPC "teammates" any time you want.

Edit:
Alternately, accept this package.
$2500/week to me, post taxes (paid by you) so I can quit my job.
Full medical and dental included.
Internet access included.
Separate COH account, paid for by you, with all slots on the server of your choice unlocked.
New system, every year, your expense (business expense.)
Minimum 5 year term, even if COH shuts down its servers tomorrow.

That would still net you only 16 hours/day (since I need to sleep, eat, etc.) but, within reason, I'd guarantee availability. Of course, either you'd have to pay more over holidays (as I'd be giving up family time to sit and wait for you,) vacations (I'd be missing a reunion and a wedding, at the very least,) and more. Don't forget there'd have to be sick time and such as well which, of course, would mean I wouldn't be available anyway.

Feel like paying up? No? Then don't demand I drop everything to team with your whiny butt.

It doesn't make us mad because it doesn't happen to us.I solo when I want to solo, and I have relatively little trouble finding a team when I want to team, even on the low pop servers. If it happens to be a slow day, I still consider a duo to be a team, and will do missions while I am hunting for more players. I'll just send out more tells while the rest of the team is resting, leveling or selling between missions.

There are already rewards for teaming. They seem to work just fine from where I am standing.

The players who wrecked AE were the players in AE who abused AE. We were told before AE launch that it was not to be used for farming. Yet people made farm after farm, even after their farms were deleted and they began locking publishing slots. From day one, using exploits has been punished, yet many AE users found every convenient loophole they could to get massive rewards for little time, little effort, and even less risk. AE was "wrecked" in direct response to those who used it and abused it, not at the behest of the roleplayers "holding Pocket D down." Those people didn't care about AE in the first place (Pocket D was the one place where you would never hear the AE farm spam that dominated Atlas Park until Issue 16).

I think you need to reparse this sentence, it doesn't make a lot of sense. Removing the double negative; "Now,I am presenting to you all something else to destroy:The players ability(including me) to be able to say yes to teams,whether it be trying to get a coveted reward we all want,or something else entirely."

According to you, our ability to say yes to teams has already been destroyed (which has been proven to be untrue). Again, there are ample rewards for teaming, but there are also rewards for soloing. This is how it should be. I team when I want to level. I solo when I want to get involved in the character and story. I team when I want influence and XP. I solo when I want Salvage and Recipes.

We don't have your problem. For me, part of this is that I have no expectation that folks I invite must join me. If they want to, they will tell me to send the invite. If they don't, they will ignore my tell or send me a polite no in response. One thing I most assuredly do not feel is mad when they tell me that they would like to join, but they want to complete the mission they are on first. In that case, I ask them to send me a tell when they are done, and I take the team that I have and start our next mission. I never wait for them, but I do do them the courtesy of leaving a slot open for them for 10 to 15 minutes (generally one mission). If they don't get back to me by then, I try to fill the slot with someone else.

Your issues seem to be self inflicted. If I had refused one of your invites and been treated to some of your invective, I would promptly put you on global ignore. I don't think I am alone. If your attitude in game is comparable to your attitude here, it is entirely possible that you have alienated yourself from a large percentage of your main server's population.

Look within to find your answer.

New story arcs coming soon (ARC IDs will be aded when I finish the arc):
So, you want to join the Hellions? (level 1-14 Villainous arc)
Sparks & Steel (level 5-20 Heroic arc)
and
So you want to join the Skulls? (level 1-14 Villainous arc)

Not at all. I play on the same server as you and never have a problem finding a team now. That wasn't the case when AE farms were running. At that time I couldn't ever find a team that wasn't farming.

I don't agree with you. It's never been easier for me to find a team. Then again, I don't farms so that could be your problem.

If you were to send me a team invite with the way you are acting here, I would say no even if I was looking for a team. You just don't want the same kind of team I want.

I was one of the people that cheered when AE farms were killed. I hated that the largest non-AE farm team I could find was 6 people. Now it takes less than 5 minutes to build an 8 man mission team. Things haven't been this good in months.

Now as for the RPers. I only have one thing to say if you don't like roleplayers standing around roleplaying. Leave Virtue! Just because you think RP is stupid doesn't mean that others can't enjoy it. If you join the Unofficial Roleplay Server, don't complain that people want to roleplay instead of teaming with you. I have 3 accounts of full of toons I run missions with and I roleplay when I'm tired of fighting. If it wasn't for the RP, I would have quit playing this game back in 2006. I had run every mission in the game, had done all there was to do and grinding to get levels just wasn't something that interested me. RP got me to stay because I never know what will happen next.

If I am required to join any team that sends an invite, I know what I will do. I will leave the game. Let's face it, there are people out there with play styles and personalities that I don't want to be around. I shouldn't be forced to put up with that when I am paying to play a game. If there is some reward I want, I'll just be sure to join people that play the way I find fun.

It's easy to no know what you speak of. I don't have a problem finding a team on the same server as you. If I don't have any trouble, then the problem you are having must be something else.

Sorry, I don't see anyone here that is with you. The choice to team or to solo is the players. You have no say in how others enjoy their game.

It sounds a lot more like people don't want to play with -you- than there being an actual problem. I don't know why that would be - bad reputation, unpleasantness with people in the past, or your overall attitude, but it does sound like the problem exists more between your chair and keyboard than in the game.

Memphis_Bill you just gave me a great idea for a suggestion. Thanks.

Sorry Forbin_Project but the next part of my post wont be near as mature as the last one.

To the OP: Dude what is wrong with you. You last post made very little sense. In the process of trying to read your post I was reminded of the trial of Charles Manson. You post made about as much sense as he did then. Maybe you should go have a chat with him since I'm sure you two will understand each other. He also got mad when someone didn't want to team with him. As a plus for you since I'm sure you have a problem finding a date too, I hear he's good at talking women into things. Just remember Helter Skelter.

Thanks for the correction Captain Photon. I have spent the majority of my day in an attic running cat5 cables for a customer so I'm tired and not playing with a full deck of cards right now.

Work in progress no more. I have decided that I'm going to put my worst spelling errors here. Triage Bacon, Had this baster idea, TLR

No prob Crim. The imression I've gotten from the OP's responses is that he's kind of guy that will stare at a person making a reasonable, well thought out response, with a blank look of total incomprehension. So I tried his native language.

Uh, Crim? I think you're thinking of Charles Manson.

I wish, when I was on one of my mostly-solo characters that I play when I'm not fixing problems at work, that people would pay attention to the comments I put there for your convenience stating that I am prone to sudden AFKs and cannot team. I mean that. I'm too considerate a person to subject you to my sudden need to go reset a printer (two minute AFK) or rebuild an entire computer (two hour AFK) at the drop of a hat, and I wish you'd be considerate enough to stop asking me to do things I can't do.

The most beautiful thing about this game is that I can play it, accomplish things, and feel super without a team. And when I want a team, I've got my OOC channel and SG mates right over there who are generally glad to join up.

Random people scare me. (Though the ones that RP scare me a little bit less, and tend to be awesome people, so I sometimes give them a chance. Proper grammar and spelling helps, too.)

Nope. Never had that problem. When I want to team, I turn to my friends and say, "Hey, let's start a team." That's the benefit of having friends.

Curses! You've discovered the evil RP conspiracy! The Pocket D Illuminati has the developers' children kept in a bunker to make sure the developers make it as hard for people to team as possible. That way, everyone who would be teaming must instead go to Pocket D and spend all their time RPing instead! One day, all enemies will be removed, all other zones will be removed, and the only way to get to 50 will be to cyber with everyone else on the server.

Heck, I've got a better idea. When someone logs into the game, they're immediately pressganged onto your team. If there's no room, they're stuck in the character select screen on a queue, waiting for a slot to open up. If you're on a hero, villain side is entirely shut down, and vice versa. And if, at any given time, they aren't fighting an enemy, they have thirty seconds to start, or they're kicked from the game and their account is deleted. That way, you'll never have problems finding a team. There won't be any other options!

Also, if someone uses the letters 'R' and 'P' in the same order - or even the same paragraph - they're jettisoned into the sun.

We'll always have Paragon.
