I don't know. 2-3 weeks perhaps, I haven't really thought about it. I really don't think solution #1 is all that important anyway - If we suddenly see a great number of missions abusing exploits it'll be more important.
Its all too easy for hysteriacs (totally made up word combining hysteria and maniacs) to want something done, until its done to them.
I vote for freedom. You dont like farms? dont join one.
Whatever qualifiers any of you have for a 'pharm' can easily be applied to your arcs.
Heck i do Radio missions which are dev approved (I know, the devs made it!) and those are exactly like a pharm, why? because i can fight whatever group i want in whatever quantity i want.
Get over your moral superiority complex. It's disingenuous at best. It's a game, its not the hobo inquisition.
ps, nobody expects the hobo inquisition. -

For what it's worth, your "farm" missions are getting in the way of people finding honest-to-goodness STORY arcs (which the MA was INTENDED for), making them have to dig through large piles of abandoned crap one-offs just to find some new, actual CONTENT to play. So it's not about not liking farming, it's about YOUR play choices affecting not only people's ability to find OUR story arcs, but the devs nerfing the whole thing to death so that no one wants to play them! Which means less ratings, which means less tickets, which means, because of YOUR actions, we cannot get -our- rewards for using the system the way it was intended. Thanks. Really.
Now I farm, believe me. I've hit the wall in cim, I've done hami raids twice in a row, done full days of TFs JUST for the merits, stood in front of a Carnival Master Illusionist for hours on end and hitting an AoE once in a while to get badge credit... even ran a few lowbies with higher-level folks to get some extra XP. I don't have anything against farming in general.
However, I don't condone the use of the MA being used as a farming tool, if only based on the way the mission listing is set up. Now, i DID do some farming there: badge farming. But then I did everyone a favor and DELETED my farm mission! But everyone else's lack of consideration and foresight has led to a broken shell of what could have been a great story-telling tool.
So, yeah. How about you farmers go back to doing ANYTHING ELSE, and just leave the MA be? And then, when you have 50s of every type all IO'd out and you're bored out of your mind because there's no more challenge or variety (a self-imposed problem there; how about running some STORY arcs for a change?), take down your farm arcs before canceling your sub.
Or leave them there out of laziness and/or spite. But that says more about you than I, right?
its okay you too can learn to use the search function. -

How to play? Just have fun.
To avoid the "nerf nerf nerf syndrome", spend less time trying to exploit every point out of AE.
*I'm neither for nor against farming in general. I believe players should be able to play however they want to without having other players telling them what they should do... but if the activity you do is constantly getting nerfed, then you are obviously doing something the Devs don't intend, so try something else.
Do you want us to not use the black market? Then please by all means dont 'fix it' the way you fixed pvp
Do you want us to PvP? Then you got some serious work to do.
Do you want time vs reward or risk vs reward?
Do you want us to use Ae? What is the appropriate amount of xp/min that were allowed to have? -

Look, there are many people that are clueless when it come to this type of thing, you are not alone. This is why I wanted to shed some light on this, so people like you could better understand why things are they way they are. I said this was one of the reason not the only reason. Hope this helps
You're Welcome
Yee Haw Yall
Historians tell me that christianity is a mishmash of several religions.
So what im saying is, pics or it didnt happen. -
actually can you just tell us how to play? itll help with the whole nerf nerf nerf syndrome

Ive played an Nrg/stone to 50 and I have to say, EM is terrible except in PvP. You want serious Aoe damage and nice Single target damage. SS would be better, Elec to a lesser degree
Cor, stay away from thermal or pain. Cold, Kin or Sonic would be great. Hula hoops of death plus a single target -res debuff for hard targets.
Dont combine fireblast with Sonic. Use Ice to slow down charging enemies or Energy blast to kick them back into play (towards the brute) -
hmmm Rp crap vs Game Mechanic.
Im gonna RP that each and everyone of you are subserviant to me. Wierd, didnt affect anything.
Im gonna argue a change to a game mechanic based on an idea ive had by modifying the game mechanic. Interesting it sparked a discussion, and if the idea is really good will get changed (for better or worse)
Leave the RP garbage at the door. Its okay to learn where to Rp. -
In game ads are fine, just like Tv ads are fine. The sad reality is ads do very little to get consumers buying. Ad agencies will lie thier family history off the face of the earth saying that ads work, but for those of us that grew up with TV (ie 95% of 1st world countries) it doesnt faze us in the least.
The mind is a wonderful thing.
So get those ads into City of and get Castle some help. He needs it. Maybe with a few more paid hands they can actually have balance in this game, instead of nerfing random things..... like pistols for the non pvp that happens in this game. -
Coh 2 : The Comming SOON (trademark)!
brand new comming soon.....to you soon!
never before seen soon with a totally new soon look!
Bigger SOON!!
Soon all things will be Comming SOON!!!! (trademark) -
lets see how many wrong statements can be made by you anti everything people
1. people get to 50 fast, get bored, leave
been here 5 yrs still going.... even had many a pl.... remember that still here part?
2. cant find a team nao.
Look harder. Make your own. Use the find member function.
the score so far
Anti everything: 0 a big fat one at that.....0= lose which makes you anti everything people a bunch of losers
people that play thier own way: 2
remember 2 is greater than 0 so I am greater than you -
Quote:So your friend rage-quit over something thats easily avoided?Originally Posted by IncredibleMouse
Thanks for the exploit fix.
My friend re-activated her account now that it's been fixed.
Wow you anti-everything people are just freaking insane. -
Or you could give up and stop making things worse. Havent you figured out that people will play the game the way they want to play regardless of the ANTI-everything battle cry?
Theres games out there that force people to play a certain way: Wow, Final Fantasy MMO, Champions, anything by SOE really. Sadly the Anti-everything crowd is not playing those MMOs that would cater to thier self absorbed play styles.
Dont be other MMO's, this is MMO lite. Its one step above Diablo 2 in that dept with better graphics and no crossbows or javelins that players can use.
People have been Pl'ing since the dawn of this game, and still some people are here and some people left. The people that left, theyre gone and forcing things isnt going to bring them back.
People are here because they WANT to be here. Heck, ive been here 5 years and guess what? IVE pled....oh noes im a dirty pler.....and yet im still here despite the
ANTI-everything cry of 'too easy and you leave'.
News flash: This game is easy, its also as hard as you want. Maybe you Anti-eveything crowd need to buck up, set your mission difficulty past -1 and try this game on heroic setting? you know +0 to your level.
No amount of Pl'ing will prepare you for that challenge.
No amount of playing the game on the same boring tutorial will make you a good player either.
Im sorry that you terrible ANTI-everything players need to run the tutorial everytime you make a new TOON. But if you skip it, you're no better than the dirty ple'ers you hate, because you skipped content. -
Quote:you mean the same people that think fixing pvp was to hit it with another round of Ed?Originally Posted by Nethergoat
the only 'broken' thing about it is the game choking on numbers larger than 2B.
It always amazes me when we get these kind of ridiculous quotes from DEVELOPERS, people who should understand what happens when a fantastically desirable item is assigned an infinitesimal drop rate.
what about the people that think getting casual people to get into pvp by offering super rare io's that are also quite good, further widening the gap between hardcore and casual?
how about the people that think Villians cant pay hero prices.....but Villians really want to pay hero prices, because they are lower. -
Quote:Theyre fixes have been less than stellar. Not terrible, just meh. I have faith that the devs arent trying to bone us out of malice or a general disregard now that Emmert is gone, BUT because they are working on things many issues ahead of whats Live, and they dont/cant play the game the way we as players play this game that they lose sight of what is really best.Originally Posted by EmperorSteele
Captain: it's not just a technical problem. According to Posi's post, they have "economic forecasts" that a marged market might cause more problems than it solves. They won't say what those problems might be, though.
These are the same devs that honestly think that the heroside prices are higher than the redside. I just sold a lvl 40 lotg 7.5 redside for 250mil while being able to sell the same thing Blue side for 150 mil. I realize ive been out of school for a while, but im sure 250 is greater than 150.
These are the same devs that think making pvp available to everyone means inflicting another round of ED on pvp, changing the rules and offering overpowered PvP enhancments to the hardcores will encourage casual people to play.
Yeah mental I tell you.
Besides stupid, idiotic Rp reasons and actual technical reasons theres no other reason not to have a merged market. Hell, the devs actually need to merge a few servers, theres too few of us playing these days to spread everyone out over this many servers.
Merging the market may be a bad idea from a technical standpoint. My idea of unlinking and relinking the market is actually viable. Theres half as many redsiders as blue. We as a player base are fairly patient, we put up with that Jack Emmert and his glue sniffing 'Vission'. It will get us what we want. Sure itll make Smurphy richer in game items, but what doesnt make that crazy man more Inf?
Now to convince the devs to fix Tf/sf 's so he'll run more of those again.....
Ps, Rp'ers stick it in your Rp hole. Rp in the game, not about game mechanics. Two different things, maybe you can rp the difference sometime. -
well the devs foisted ED onto us in order to pave the way for inventions and as an aside the market. The cottage rule needs to go back ALOT further than just 'oh we didnt think these inventions through but well leave it anyways because that will mess something else up so we'll try this something else that we cant say about because it of course reeks of ED all over again and the trouble that caused'
Changing drop rates wont fix the red market, unless you do that only for 1 side.
Merging the market is a technical problem, that can be fixed but will take paitence on the users of that market.
changing the merit costs wont fix anything either, because the horde mentallity is deeply entrenched in redsiders and we need more tfs.
honestly theres one fix that i can see....its exactly like a merge without the technical snafu.
Everyone has to pull thier bids/sales/holds off the market, let the devs wipe it and link the heroside to the villian side. done.
Its a terrible idea i know, because someone else didnt think of it. Like Posi or Castle -
team lf scrappers and brutes
-
I figured out how the devs are gonna 'fix' the market. Theyre gonna lower 'the price cap' to 200 mil, instead of 2bil.
makes about as much sense as anything else they think about the market. -
most everything does some sort of -def. Im suprised the devs in the early days didnt give bats and fists a -def component.
From what ive seen, its usually on the order of 7% debuff or more per attack with 4 seconds between attacks.
so why dont cot give more xp? -
so another set thats 1/4 effective at end drain because you gotta maintain pvp balance?
-
whats a nubian?
-
Im bringing Justice Style Tfing to Virtue!!!! Drink heavily....debt is meaningless.....so are the wasd keys
-
you can easily lose 20% or more def in a single shot from a spawn (depending on numbers and who did it)
Ios have no debuff resistance so while def is really easy to get, cascade failure is also just as easy -

I did an all-rad ITF a week or two ago as well. 7 Rads that time. Perhaps it was the same ITF?
Anyway, I'm on Virtue and I've got a dark/regen scrapper I can add to the mix for STF.

The team I was on had a tank. Even though I objected to needing one. He DCed before the last mission and didn't come back before the end. So the last mission was played as it should have been. The leader was Rad Rouge and my alt was a plant/rad troller, Botany Boy R.

I think Rieze should try to prove that sig line...
No nukes, no Shivans, just scrappers.

I was thinking the same thing. The problem is that for it to be done, certain types of scrappers would have to be needed. I don't want this to be about powersets. Just want to grab 8 scrappers and run. Although, no temp powers no inspirations would be great indeed.
