7) Sure, if you want to kill the feature they spent 1 and a half issues making stone dead.

I'd be for removing Inf rewards, they make no logical sense, and removing the MA from all zones less than level 10.

The main problem isn't the influence though. Its people starting to play COH and getting to level 50 within a couple of days. Even with all of what Posi has said about it, people still farm it, and the new players that came and farmed to 50 are still here, still not knowing about the game and not really doing much.

[/ QUOTE ]

Personally (and I've been in Atlas as a newbie this week and Cap soloing Ma Missions) I've noticed a dramatic drop-off in farming since the Comms Officers patch.

Either way I'm pretty sure that making the MA a worthless dinosaur that few people bother with is not the way to go.

I'd be happy with XP Caps on missions in there rather than no XP. I like running random MA missions on my Brute solo. If the XP was removed totally I'd completely abandon the feature, as would the vast majority of players. Meaning Arc Writers would get even more frustrated that no-one was bothering with their arcs (or just Hall of Fame ones if they still gave XP. And if that WAS the case you'd see a whole raft of other problems with Writers getting frustrated because no-one bothered with their "rewardless" arcs and a lot more Rating Cartels as people tried to leverage their arcs into the Hall of Fame).

Oh, I'd certainly pull the Auto-sk feature too. That alone is probably the worst cause of newbies getting PLed around

Ah, the old "Who? Sorry, we don't have anyone by that name here" ruse.

They woulda gotten away with it too if it wasn't for you pesky barbarians.

Herostats I think?

Hasten is good for more Acid Mortar, PGT (even now it's still a useful power) and things like Gang War and Seekers.

Or, if he's set on another shooty power Empty Clips (because it looks cooler)

Whereas I've moved on to smiling at being in a team of 8 lvl 4-6 doing normal missions in Defiant Atlas - and at least 1 person only started 2 days ago - this is his 1st team...

Who says all newbies just MA farm/PL??

I got a vintage Sewer Team during the week too, with proper random babble banter. It was excellent.

Best of all for the few deaths we had no-one said "FFS. Where are the heals" to my Cold Defender! Or even said "We need a healer"!

A fun, knowledgable low level PuG with decent chat? That's unpossible!

Sinergys build is pretty much the same as mine, I took Empty Clips instead of Assualt for some more AOE but that was more down to concept than effectiveness.

Summoning Drones or Gang War right into the middle of a tough group is usually how I absorb the Alpha but Traps is nice in the way that you've lots of ways to open up combat with various tactics.

600 Million. That's a fortune to me.

2.3 billion! *eep*

TRT, I fully support your endevor, just so you can show useless people like me how to do it. I doubt I've managed more than 80 million on any of my builds, I've never had more than 60 million inf at one time.

Now I know that everyone in closed is practically meaningless and means that closed is as near as dammit open... but if GF is correct doesn't that mean that Posi went back on an anniversary gift?

[/ QUOTE ]

He stole the chocolates he got us too!

Anyway, as I was saying, there's probably no chance any red name will post anything about i15 this week...

*looks up*

Dammit Ghost Falcon. That's it. I'm selling my unwanted SOs elsewhere in future

*looks around PI for another store*

Ack. Damn you and your evil island monopoly. I ain't gettin' on no ferry to sell my junk enhanments.

It has been over 2 weeks. Good point.

I bet the answer begins with S and ends in TM (how do you do superscript?)

Maybe the Going Rogue "leaking" into the wild early means there won't be anything until next week or so when we're bored again.

[/ QUOTE ]

The leak was at most 12 hours early, so there's no point in building big theories based on it having been a leak really.

[/ QUOTE ]

You should know by now that just because something is pointless it never stops me from building a big convoluted theory around it.

Haven't you got the Pocket D TP or the Base One?

If it's a "Go to Hospital" command with a 10 second interruptable cast time and 30 minute recharge that should be fairly reliable and safe

A "Kill me now" one might lead to some Rise of the Phoenix or Vengence shenanigins.

I don't buy an sell on the market, it's too time intensive, but since i14 it's even easier to slot charachters now especially vill side.

My last project a ss/elec took 2 weeks to fully slot including one set of purps, lotgs numinas etc, without swapping money from other toons onto it.

I'm not farming, just buying an selling what i drop, an i'm on my way to a full completion "quasi perma godmode" on him.

[/ QUOTE ]

You're not farming or playing the markets and it took you 2 weeks to fully purple out a brute Red Side?

The RNG must love you

[ QUOTE ]
At log in to buy more slots it says 11.99 but when you go to buy them and the billing comes up it says 17.99 = was there a major price change anyone know?

[/ QUOTE ]

Currency change? Sounds like the original price was Sterling and on the billing its Dollars or Euros .

[ QUOTE ]
Boxed game? Would that mean I would have to leave the house to get it?

[/ QUOTE ]

Nah, it should be on Steam too since CoH is now. Or you can order it on Play.com or whatever and it'll come to you.

I can't remember the last time I actually bothered walking to a games store. They're so 90s.

I keep telling you Standoff, it's not normal to add a bottle of vodka to a cake.

Happy belated birthday Eskimo Spy, hope you had a good one (and if Standoff offers you cake tread carefully).

Q. Will it be available for Mac as well as PC upon launch?

[/ QUOTE ]

That is the plan. Yes.

[/ QUOTE ]Where did you come from?

AlsoOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM™ Nah, just kidding

I'm glad to hear that it will be on Mac, espcially as my PCs keep blowing up on me.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well he needs something to do doesn't he. Doubt he's seen many people since i9. Doubt any one buys lvl 45+ SOs anymore

[/ QUOTE ]

I do, but I go to the RWZ for em. The trainer doesn't send me off on a silly quest before he'll share the goodies

I think Ghost Falcon is basically a purchaser of agricultural goods nowadays. Or was before the MA came along.

Actually did Glowies get nerfed sound-wise in the past. I seem to remember them being much louder before than they are nowadays?

This could also be me going slowly hard of hearing in my dotage of course *glances at Flower Crystal in Palm*

Oh no. It's black! I'm too young I tell you. Too young!!!

*Does a Runner*

From a Villains PoV it makes little sense for a lot of "hostages" to be calling out as well since they're not actual hostages until you get your grubby little paws on them.

If your character is not eligible for any xp/influence/debt reduction rewards in a Mission Architect mission, you will no longer be awarded any tickets for that mission.


[/ QUOTE ]
What do they mean with that?

If you are being exemplared then no tickets?
if you are being lackeyed then no tickets?

[/ QUOTE ]

I think it's this. That if they Con Grey to you then you won't get tickets for killing them (they're holograms, it's Ok to kill).

[/ QUOTE ]

You mean you got drops from grey mobs in the MA? That sounds like a bug. Good thing if they removed that problem.

[/ QUOTE ]

It sounds like an idiotic bug. Never had the chance to prove my theory but since you do make Inf when Exemped down it's all I could think of.

Anways bug has been there for quite some time, people prolly reported it before but I couldn't find those threads. Plz fix it it's getting annoying to have a bug for months

Tell that to Oil Slick Arrow

I agree with most of the OP.

Still, it's nice to be a bit excited about things instead of "Meh". I'm happy to be happy for a bit (don't worry, i'm sure it's just a passing phase and Grumpy Carni will return).

Well it was sorta snuck in in a patch somewhere so don't feel bad.

It was a patch or two after the RWZ I think. But the Kheld change was much later.

I reckon my WS will certainly be turning Rogue just for something to do. A WS also fits rather well in the Villain team mentality of "Not as rigidly set roles".

i haven't seen anything yet on wether the epic AT's will be able to switch factions.

having said that i am curios about the effect on kheldians abilities, in particular, the buffs they get from other AT's

should the devs just carbon copy over the hero model? or should we see something more colourful? will SoA give kheldians a buff also?

so if tankers and defenders give kheldians more attack
and if blasters and scrappers give more resistance
and trollers give more mez resist...

SoA give more ToHit?
dominators give +recovery?

ideas?

[/ QUOTE ]

Due to the RWZ this is already in-game. Doms give Controller bonuses. Corrupters and MMs give Defender and Tank ones, Brutes and Stalkers give Blaster/Scrapper ones and VEATs give the same Slow & Recharge debuff resistance as HEATs.
