Discussion: VIP Head Start - Patch Notes for Build 2100.201109170227.1

And a thousand farmers reached for their Gloria Gaynor MP3s. I imagine more MA changes might be coming down the pike as we chug along to Freedomland.

I didn't see it listed here but Twoflower mentioned elsewhere that MA custom characters should no longer be bugged. That's good news if true, I have one arc to check another to build tonight.

Its a good thing I haven't taken on the Seed yet, that would've been a major bummer.

Putting them there made sense to me. They have the high ground!

Entropy Legion * Hyperion Force * Hero Heights

While not a fan of the farms clogging the system, I think ZERO rewards may have gone too far since it may punish those who use the self rez enemies for tactical variance. Also, is this all rez powers since some like Rise of the Phoenix have extra effects.

Leave this poster alone, he/she is trying to PL their post count! It doesn't effect you does it?

I haven't been into my base in months

I almost cried I laughed so hard at this (disturbingly accurate) depiction of Golden Girl.

Best I've seen since the Great Forum Merger.

Edit: Thank you for the new signature, Beef Cake.

I24 Proc Chance = (Enhanced Recharge + Activation Time) * (Current PPM * 1.25) / 60*(1 + .75*(.15*Radius - 0.011*Radius*(360-Arc)/30))
Single Target Radius = 0. AoE Non-Cone Arc = 360.

trying?...no this poster HAS! already powerlvl'd herself. such an oddity since this poster hates it in game but not out....how odd.

Blood Widow Ricki * Tide Shifter * T-34 * Opposite Reaction * Shaolin Midnight * ChernobylCheerleader

Entropy Legion * Hyperion Force * Hero Heights

Agreed on both counts, and well put.

Doesn't change much, really. I imagine they'll be following the results of this change very closely in terms of rewards vs. server lag/congestion/whatever.

Fixing exploits is never totally pointless - but the problem with these AE fixes is that it leaves behind a pile of abandoned farm missions as the exploiters move on to the next exploit they've found, which just clutters up the AE mission list.

It's pointless because it doesn't stop me from "exploiting" this game like a badman.

Hell yeah, about time! Thxxxx!!!

But it must slow you down a little bit, otherwise they wouldn't have done it

I think that's the point most people are trying to make, this fixed nothing for anyone, including people like yourself who feel it clutters up the AE mission list. This fix doesn't clear anything up, it only makes it worse. And on top of that, we'll see even more farm maps being created now, even more so than before. At least with what people had, they all used pretty much the same map. So now all of the farmers will be back at work throwing up trash missions to find a new farm to use.

Me, I could care less, I don't use the AE to farm or PL my alts, I use normal missions, as I enjoy getting my purples and making loads of money from the people who buy them

The only problem is that this TF is for level 10-15. Especialy with new Freedom People you might have new people with no Travel Power or Temp Powers to get them up on top of the roof.

Nah.

That's something else that Marty might be able to do - identify AE missions that were giving excessive rewards and then delete them.

Them doing it doesn't mean it's the most effective thing to do.

If anything this makes farming easier, as the incentive to make mobs take longer to kill (rezzing) is gone. Folks will just fill maps now with mobs that don't rez or will simply exit the map sooner.

Also clogs up the search more as the new "non rez mob" farms are added to the list. And the search is the WORST FEATURE of AE hands down. period.

/golfclap.

And this also potentially hurts LEGITIMATE arcs that used mobs that rez.

Errr, can't everyone as of issue 21 now take at ravel power at like level 4? or am I misremembering?

EDIT: But your point is still legitimate.

Darn my cover is blown!!
