Issue 17 Overview
Takes 45 minutes on a team set to 3... Just do it on a 50... Its not that sucky as long as you are motivated and skip most of the missions.

I'm not suggesting that the Posi TF wasn't a horrible TF that desperately needed updating years ago. I'm just having some fun with the idea that your "solution" to the problem was basically to do everything against the intent of that TF that you possibly could. I'm laughing as much at the Devs for sticking us with a crap TF as I am at your cavalier attitude about beating it.

Translation: as long as you do it with a team size it wasn't technically intended for, at a level it wasn't intended for and sidestep the all the pesky 'content' then it's a easy TF.

Using 50's and skipping to the end of the non-defeat alls does make it fast.

I wish they would have just kept Ultra Mode until they were releasing ALOT of new content, like Going Rogue.
Is Issue 18 coming before Going Rogue? I thought they hired all these new peeps so we could have new issues every 3 months or so. ? edit: Would rather have new task forces... could care less about updating old ones. Happy some of you are getting animated tails, I have no interest. 8 missions is weak IMO, for a content update. When they said content update, I was thinking like 5 or 10 levels of content. I hope this gets alot better, new zones with all new content. We desperatly need a new issues like this one: Forest of Dread |
So animal animated tails some how make the game brand new?
Interesting. |
That is all you needed to say. Ultra Mode while I did upgrade my entire computer for it, is not going to make what I have already done countless times more fun some how. It just isn't. It will look cool, and then honestly it will look how it is Supposed to look. I am also subscribed to Age of Conan, and their graphics are superior atm. I am hoping UM kinda catches up. I can already look alittle to the left and see shadows and water reflections.
I cant find it atm, but I will... It said content update somewhere in one of these 90 million threads... Will find it later. ZM, Most of this games quality Improvements are stuff other games have had for forever... So, QoL that they may be... They are also nothing new to many people who have wondered why this game constantly is in the dark ages. |

Seriously. Take a break from the game. Log off and don't come back until GR releases, if you're that bored of it. Then, if you come back and it's still 'boring'...well, maybe your playing the wrong game? Has it never occured that maybe other people don't necessarily have to have the exact same opinion as you?
GG, I would tell you that "I am killing you with my mind", but I couldn't find an emoticon to properly express my sentiment.

And you really, honest to god wonder why people have a go at you for being whiney and depressing to read?

Take a break, play something else, I generally go for single player stuff myself, and come back when you've got that urge again to play.
This, really Pain I've been there and I took a couple months break (though I didn't unsub), and came back. I even now periodically take mini breaks. If the game has gotten boring there probably isn't any amount of new stuff to keep you excited for long.

Trust the computer. The computer knows all.

I mean, our devs aren't androids that don't need sleep. They are human. New content takes time to make. Time to make sure it works like its supposed to. Time to test. I'm fairly certain they don't purposely not give us new content. (Depends on what your view of content is.)

You know what. I just paid for two accounts for an entire year. I plan on getting every penny out of my subscription fees. If you dont want to read what I type, YOU KNOW already that there is an IGNORE function on these forums.
Like all of you, I am allowed to express my feelings on whatever thread I wonder into.
I was expecting more from Issue 17 because we havent gotten a really Great issue in a long freakin time.
edit: You keep saying take a break. I HAVE been on break from doing anything in this game for over a year. Waiting for new dev created content... waiting and waiting for something new to do, a new path to 50... been waiting and waiting, happily buying all their little packs on multiple accounts, "Supporting the game"...
Well.....what will you do after you've done all the new missions in GR, across all your alts?

GR has end game. I know people in other games that have been happily playing their end game for years. I expect the same atleast from this game, if not better.

I personally love dev content (long as its not hero side and low level *shudder*) but its not the meat of the game for me. I get a lot out of RP and doing my own stories, AE was a gigantic boost for me for that.
Its just perspective, all of us want something different from the game.
Not sure if you RP but you could look at getting into a story driven SG that does solid AE arcs and in game stories/writing. That might sate some of the content urge for moar new stuff. Not canon but it can be fun.
It was my first time, and I thought it was meant to be rough. Took me a long time to realize that Task Forces are intended to be 1-2 hours with a tight-knit group of friends.

With the introduction of Croatoa, that design philosophy fell by the wayside and all the CoV SFs were much shorter (and villains complain about not having hefty SFs that can give big Merit awards).
Players have figured out how to do the legacy TFs in a relatively short time (one play session) by means of stealthing and only doing the minimum required for each mission. Doing it exemplared with your +5 powers and having SSK bring everyone up to the level cap of the TF has also helped tremendously in speeding up the legacy TFs (in which multiple team wipes were the norm!).

And we can express how tired we get of it all.
Kindly point me in the direction of that ignore button.

I'm extremely excited for I17! It's much better than I thought. I won't be able to use Ultra Mode, but it looks like there's plenty of other stuff in this Issue to play with.
I can't wait to try out the new story arcs. 4 new arcs sounds like a good ammount of new content to keep me occupied until Going Rogue. I'm interested to see the changes in the Positron TF and I'm looking forward to finally doing the Silver Mantis TF.
I'm also intrigued by the idea of crafting temp powers. That might give me a reason to craft.
And yay for new Architect stuff!
All in all, it sounds like a fantastic issue.
Sure you can.

Your opinions mean as much as mine, You are my equal. Not better not worse. So, why is it you always feel the need to point out what I say and then go on tangents?
Let's see...
CAN mail inf. CAN'T mail items, or cross factions. Which part was unclear? |
This part
(You still cannot send Influence, Infamy, or items from a Hero to a Villain or vice versa.) |
Which apparently leaves items in a sort of Schrödinger's state: you won't know if they can or can't be sent until you actually try. Because not being able to send them from a hero to a villain or vice versa says nothing about not being able to send them from hero to hero and villain to villain.

New info about GR makes you login to play the game even though nothing has changed yet?

It's only over time they realized that almost no one was doing it the way they intended and eventually they started planning TFs that could be tackled in the 2 hour range.
