Correct me if I'm wrong, but can't you just roll in the same level range as the recipe you're trying to fill?

We can already shift funds between characters.
1) Trade $Inf through friends acting as mules. Can work cross-faction and cross server if you agree on an exchange rate.
2) As above, but set up through forum contacts. Safer than you might think.
3) Using SG bins. (only same faction, same SG and same server)
4) Inf transfers via the market. Send to your alts on any server, but same faction only. Relatively safe if you put some thought into it, but there is a fee.

We don't need this.
5) Any character can be self-sufficient from L1 in this game. Granted, they won't all have the same earning power per hour, but no Inf transfers are really needed. Desirable sometimes, but not truly needed.

At the risk of sounding apathetic, I'm "meh" about the idea.

The next time there's a thread in the Suggestions Forum for a reciever-side Email filter that will set you to "only recieve from friends/G-Friends/SG-mates/etc." put in your support.


[/ QUOTE ]

This is the answer. (imo)

[/ QUOTE ]

Have we gotten an answer on why this is not being done/implemented? Is there some system limitation that prevents it?

Also, don't forget to add that you should only recieve emails from people on your OWN friends list. Otherwise spammers could just /friend everyone and still spam the heck out of us.

[/ QUOTE ]
That's generally the assumption. That it would be the recipient's, not the sender's friend list.
Otherwise it would be useless.

There's the "filter by keywords within the Email" idea, but that's generally dismissed. Why?
Changing website names, modifying the advertised website's name within the email by substituting numbers, adding spaces, etc.
Y'know, like "Wanna buy V1A_Gr4?".

Geez. Eight is unwieldy enough, but if you're willing to sit and wait for members 9 through 20 to show up, then who am I to deny you the option.
I like options.

It's funny, I took a break from the game for about a month and when I came back I decided to log in all my toons and move them to different Day Job spots. Something like 50+ toons over all the servers. Needless to say, this is no small chore.

Anyway, while going through the different servers I started noticing that my e-mail boxes were empty. I started really keeping track after noticing this and by the time I was done I found I had a grand total of 5 spam e-mails.

I don't know if the spammers just don't like me or if it's the fact that as soon as I make a toon and get them into the tutorial I hide from searches that keeps me from getting spammed. Whatever it is, I'm glad I don't have to put up with that crap.

[/ QUOTE ]
Sounds to me like hiding from /search helps keep you off the mailing lists.

Meh. It happens.
The thing to do is either start another duo/ team, or solo for a bit.
There's always another team out there, and if there isn't one that suits you, you can solo any AT in this game.

You have no idea why they left though. It could have been because something else appealled more, or something came up. So it isn't worth it to get riled up about.
It could have been something you said or did.
They might have run out of time before they had to go.
It could have been any number of things, and if multiple people leave, it could be multiple reasons.

There are quite a few, but I'll give you two.
Soloable, a bit silly and a mostly lowbie friendly.

"To Settle a Bet"

"Operation: Super-Wedgie" (first mission is against Crey, so if you can handle them, you're good for the rest of the arc.)

Some missions generate AE Tickets, some don't. I wouldn't be surprised if some missions could be set as double XP without all of them being set that way.

To the OP's apparent question: .....Maybe?

[ QUOTE ]
People are going to farm no matter what. In general, I try to ignore it. But the magic internal reset button in the OP's post is just over the top. I find it ridiculous that some people are so addicted to XP these days that they can't take 30 seconds of downtime to reset a mission.

[/ QUOTE ]
I think I read a book once called "If you give a Mouse a cookie..."

Fine.
Then I'll skip the part where post counts are never brought into an argument except when folks with lower counts attack those with higher counts. Usually as a distractionary tactic when they run out of facts and/or thier temper fails them.

Wait, is "Distractionary" a word? Eh, close enough.

What we're missing is a comparison where "Idea-X must be good for this game because it was good in another game that had completely different mechanics!". Then we can point out that it would be good/bad on it's own, using this game's mechanics as the setting.

Hmm. A Roman look?

I'd go with:
1) Armored, with helmet, no cape (or a torn cape). Ready for combat.
2) Armored, with cape, no helmet. Fancy occasions, parades, that sort of thing. Shiny and fancy. Maybe an Aura.
3) Toga. Off-duty roman.

i have hundreds of spam so it would take hours to read them all and delete them. the problem is a growing avalanche with the only end in sight is filters or the big off button for the email system. but everytime someone mentions a way to end the spam this way some cappa incarnate or forum cartel comes and flames the whole idea which seems a perfect fix for the monster problem that is spam/email.

Bolded section is false.
Bad ideas are disagreed with, and the posters are usually not directly insulted unless they start getting hostile at the disagreement aimed at thier idea.
Not aimed at them, mind you, but at thier idea.
Then thier hostility often starts a round of arguments and insults back and forth.

No not the hook.. the attack.. I would love to see a melee set based on the ability to hold and inflict damage. Something where it is a toggle. Ideally you hold the enemy with you, so that if you flew to the height max then dropped them, they would take major damage. Something wrestling-ish. Thoughts?

[/ QUOTE ]

That toggle sounds like it would be single-target, and would require both hands free (sorry Shields users) and would prevent you from using other attacks while it was active. Minor DoT Smashing damage to foe?

Also, falling damage counts as "damage from source other than you", for purposes of calculating XP, if that would bother you.

Also, how would the animations would look like considering the hieght range between the PC's (4-8ft) and the foes (Rikti Monkey and DE Swarms through Malta robots and Fake Nemesis).
I apply Grapple, Leg Lock, Arm Bar or Choke Hold to the DE Swarm and...?

I could see this in PvP, but in PvE it makes less sense.

Okay, it's cool.

But, the OP just might sort of get his wish regarding a "Farm Mission Setting" in I-16. With the ability to set your missions for (1-8 person)-sized spawns, even while solo, this would be a farmer's paradise.
No need for fillers (who cut into your drop rates) to pad spawns, so no need for Broadcast farm-spam by the mission holders. There will probably still be some spam by farm-seekers who can't be bothered to find AE missions (or defeat the foes within), but hopefully that will subside a bit after a while.

Does anyone have a link to a gallery/site that shows the Rikti as they appeared at launch?

i was thinking about the various improvements to the game's appearance since launch and i consider the Rikti one of the most dramatic examples.

[/ QUOTE ]

They were naked and ugly why you want to see that again is beyond me

[/ QUOTE ]
Porn: Rikti: Hawt.

While in-game, hit the "Printscreen" button.
Check Menu->Options->Keybinds to make sure that this button is set to do that. I wasted a lot of potential screenshots thinking that is was by default, and it wasn't always.

Oh, for the full deal.... http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Screenshots Click there.

What if there was a setting that made it so that when you have cleared a map completely of enemies,and after killing the last enemy,the map resets itself,ready to be farmed again with all enemies reappearing on the map?You wouldnt have to leave and reset the mish at all!

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm sorry. All I can picture is people going from 1-50 wearing diapers because they never had to leave the mission, not even for a bio. Geez, get out of the farm and get some air.

Edited for context.

That's why I did not make that suggestion.
...
Oh, I see. You either hit the quote button on his post and copy-pasted his suggestion, then backed out and hit reply on mine to insert it there. Or you backed out and put in into the Quick Reply box.

Wouldn't it have been easier to just hit the Quote button on his post and type at the end, rather than all that extra effort to make it look like mine?
I may be a little silly, but I don't come up with that dumb of ideas.

To keep from getting on the RMTmail mailing lists, /hide from the search function and stay out of the starting zones. Once they've tagged you, though, there's not much you can do.

The next time there's a thread in the Suggestions Forum for a reciever-side Email filter that will set you to "only recieve from friends/G-Friends/SG-mates/etc." put in your support.

Oh, and never buy anything from them. No need to assist them in thier upkeep costs, which essentially will be paying them to spam you (and your fellow gamers) more. Thier products (if they even deliver them) aren't needed. Any character can easily be self-sufficient in this game without resorting to sugar-daddying, marketeering, buying RMT or any such nonsense.

Just to let everyone know, I'm getting sick of all the threads complaining about seizures, rainbow characters, annoying buff colors, and all the MLP/Care Bear themed characters that popped up!

So please, if you could, go ahead and get all those complaints out of your system now so that I can return to the future and get back to normal threads about how AE is ruining the game (still) and how we're all looking forward to the total character respecs that BABs confirmed for i17.

.....but I just don't see them, even when slotted up, as being enough to really make a tank out of him.


...I thought that maybe if I play him as an end drainer, I can take the alpha and lose some health, and then have everything shut down at zero endurance, and then just naturally regen my health back up (with the occasional inspi to speed the process). Does this seem workable? Basically just cut down incoming damage with endurance drain and mezzes and then regen what little damage does get through.

Anyway, I was wondering what slotting and playstyles people have come up with to make their /elec brutes into the uber type toons that we get when we have billion-dollar IO builds. It seems like the sets are good at giving us insane levels of defense and recharge, but slotting for other areas just doesn't get very far.

So what do people think?

[/ QUOTE ]
I don't play as a Tank, I play as a Brute, a Berserker, a Bringer of Damage, not a character that stands in the middle of mobs picking it's nose and autofiring Taunt.
Team support via HP-DeBuffs.
Take the offensive route immediately and build Fury through attacks. Slap down the Power Sink against harder foes or just for lulz.
I didn't slot much for specific set bonuses, just for base enhancement values and whatever decent set bonuses were available.
On the bright side, it didn't cost too much.

Lightning Field: 2 EndMod, 4-Frankenslot for EndRed/Acc/Damage. (I'd delay until after Stamina).
PowerSink: 3 EndMod, 2 Recharge and 1 very optional EndRed (almost wasteful).
Stamina: 2 L50 commons and skip Conserve Power (redundant), Lightning Clap and either Jacob's Ladder or Chain Lightning (your choice).
Avoid Arachnoids and thier Toxic damage unless you want to live in your Tier9.

I took Aid Self and did okay. Respecced to add Tough at L49.
