Question Ahoy

there a few things that seem to be left or missed in my opion that need some kind of addressing.

1, there seem to be a weird need for these special salvage with every other issue, but why are there nothing done to vanguard merits?

I got everything possible with the merit on most toon but i can't spend them fast enough to be worth to go out to get more. but with Merits i got tons of choices to choose from also the same with MA tickets.

2, base salvage, dr brainstorm token and base salvage tab, it been almost a year and these are well obsolete shouldn't these be heading for the bin by now?

3, Stores/shop with each new buy system there seems to better version to buy items finder. i think MA shop the best way to use to buy. couldn't these be put into place for all shop/stores and market as i think it the best to find thing for all

4, Search well i think this need a overhaul as trying to people for a team can be a pain when you reach 50 people in the search, even more so when you select a range of 5 level and you still maxed out.

maybe a increase in the how many can be searched or a lower level search


i do have more question but it got very late an im very tried so i leave my other question later

but i love to hear on what other got to say, on what they think on some point i pick up on

And I have an ACTUAL question - did the Suggestions section get deleted? Why are all these suggestions popping up here all of a sudden? This must be the 4th Suggestion-related thread started here this week.

This is the Player Questions section - players asking players for help with specific game-related issues, like "Where is..." "How do I..." "What's the best..." etc.

I know that sounds snippy but this is simply the straw that broke my camel's back.

Suggestions section is >>>that way.

Check the workbench, some more options were just added in the last issue or two.

Check the market, there's still lots of sales in these items. Plenty of people come back every now and then, and some of them still have piles of this old stuff.

While I don't support the removal of the obsolete salvage types, I would love it if they'd move the base tab on my salvage window to the last position.

Personally, I think it should be: All - Invention - Special - Event - Base

Either that, or allow the tabs to be rearranged, like the tabs in the chat window.

I would love that also. Seriously it's annoying when you have your windows set to a certain minimal size and have to scroll over just to open the inventions.. and ever since I converted ALL my base salvage into brainstorms back in the day.. that area remains empty anyway... Throw it to the end of the list! lol

And I want the "Invention" tab (and the corresponding entry in the list) to be a different color than the rest. It would be easier to spot it quickly when I am crafting set recipes.

"I keep track of how many merits/tickets I have, so I want THAT one to be a different color and stand out from the rest!"

Just kidding, but you can see what I'm getting at. Invention is certainly the most used tab and it would be a major convenience for it to be bumped up to the front. If it's moved to the 1st position (not including "ALL"), it certainly wouldn't be hard to find each time the window is opened, but it doesn't need to be bold, recolored or accented in any other way.

Definitely needs to be in the suggestions area. But really leave my base salvage and brainstorms alone. I still have TONS of them to go through because we had hordes of base salvage in bins. I'd hardly call them obsolete. The truth is the devs probably have a query they run periodically to see how much base salvage and brainstorms are still in the system to decide whether they should even consider this.

Not until everyone has gotten rid of theirs. I'm not even talking about inactive accounts. I play just about every day and I occasionally notice that I have still have base salvage on some toons.


4, Search well i think this need a overhaul as trying to people for a team can be a pain when you reach 50 people in the search, even more so when you select a range of 5 level and you still maxed out.
Gee, you must be imagining things. Search maxed out? Haven't you heard all the doomcrying? The game is dying and it's impossible to find teams!

Yeah, search could be a bit more robust. People have also suggested a 'reverse search' where you list your team as looking for members and people can 'invite themselves' to it.

When base salvage was removed it was a time when storage racks could hold boatloads of base storage. Now it's limited to 30 and while you can't add beyond 30 items, if they already had say 1500 items it's still happy. Why spend the time to convert to brainstorms and then to i-salvage when you now need many times the storage racks to hold the i-salvage you got from the conversion?

Me, I converted all my base salvage to brainstorms and don't have a reason to convert them into i-salvage as long as I can purchase interested salvage at the market for reasonable prices. I have no pressing need to use them. Sold off my base's racks to avoid rent.

Then there are stories of players who collect obsolete drops just to have one of everything.

As far as the "search limited to 50"- it is rare that I get over 50 on my servers. In the case that I do, limiting to [say] "l40-50, defenders" gets me down to a reasonable number. Then "L40-50, controllers" and so forth.

It's a workaround.

(Personally, I'd like L50 to be its own button, with 40-49 separate.)

And/or change the list of lvl options so they don't overlap so much. It seems redundant. I never understood why it was like that anyway. It wouldn't even make the list any longer than it currenly is...

change 1-10 to 1-5
change 6-15 to 5-10
change 11-20 to 10-15
change 16-25 to 15-20
change 21-30 to 20-25
change 26-35 to 25-30
change 31-40 to 30-35
change 36-45 to 35-40
change 41-50 to 45-50

Same amount of options, but more refined searches.

I always assumed that it only accepted options that were in the interface as well. I didn't realize you could put +45-50 (for example) and just get people in that range. Playing around with it, it seems that you can even use just "/search +50" and only get lvl 50s. That's excellent!

Thanks, Aggelakis.

Yep. If I only wanted to see level 37 Mutation Controllers in Steel Canyon (for... uh, whatever reason), I could search for exactly that.
/search +37-37 +mutation +controller +steel canyon

And what's even cooler, is that if you want to simply look for anybody that's higher than lvl 35 (for itf maybe?), you don't even need the "-50", simply use:
/search +35

And if you wanted to see anybody less than lvl 15, you could use:
/search +-15 (as if it's that hard to use +1-15, but it works anyway. lol)
