Our SG is getting ready to do the Quarterfield TF starting in a few days,
...
Now I'll feel like I can't drop without seriously hurting the team. I'll probably have to say I can't do the TF.


[/ QUOTE ]

So, why not arrange to complete the TF over a few days?

[/ QUOTE ]

Certain TF's really are set up for multiple day sessions in advance. The fact that this is with your SG, and is planned in advance, suggests to me that it would be possible to do this.

I once took ~2 months to finish a Synapse (split over 3 meetings of a once every 3week group).

[ QUOTE ]

Hmm, this won't help much with the Shadow Shard TFs, since on some of those you could knock out some of the missions without the team there. It's tough to get 8 people on at one time for the duration of a few of those.


[/ QUOTE ]

Please can the minimum team size of the Shard TF's in particular be examined.

An adjustment to 6 should be at least seriously considered.

Manticore should also be tweaked down from 7 to 6.


All in all I did see this coming. Softloading was becoming far too commonly used as a shortcut.

Of course now I am going to have to solo a load of them again just for the heck of it

Actually I think at this point in the life cycle, a new box every 12 months is nearly a requirement to bump up the new player entries.

This would have to be a full game + expansion, with a free month for $30
.Maybe have a expansion code only available from the NCsoft site for $10-15, but his would have to be the size of 'a couple' of issue to my mind.

Then about once per yera the $5-10 online only costume/emote/other fluff pack.

Boxes on shelves = more new players

<edit to add>

[ QUOTE ]

you know what would be an awesome combo to see in stores. PlayNC cards with a month and a costume bundle. pay 20-25 bucks or whatever for the card, get a month and a costume pack. make the package kind of like the Itunes cards with the graphics printed on so you know what costumes you are getting

Me likey that idea

[ QUOTE ]
I really hope someone Demo Records this thing. My wife and I are working and will be unable to attend. It'd be....Super Cool... if some one could Demo this thing and post it to youtube.

Also, the wedding pack is friggen cool. The Rose petal emote is so neat with the Phys-x engin. Drop a bunch and run through them, or turn on fly and have a shower of them

So PLEASE if someone or multiple people will Demo this, you'd rock the heavens!

LH has already confirmed there will be some offical videos released of the event.

[ QUOTE ]

As far as maintenance goes, I don't thin anyone "won" per se. I think they got more efficient.

[/ QUOTE ]

Normally the servers were coming down twice per week, with extras for patchs and special event prep, and just after issue launches. (per LH comments and experience)

Now the schedule for that 2/week is set, and they announce the extras.

The new hardware hasn't been in place long enough to see if there is any chnage in the length/number of downtimes, its more a shift in the communication of them than anything else, which I think was a good move.

[ QUOTE ]
So if you subscribed to Newsweek, you'd be fine with them also charging you cover price for the magazine, right?


[/ QUOTE ]

Pay monthly (cover price for magazine) = $15/month
Subscribe annually = $12/month

Your analogy is flawed.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
AN NCSoft Gift Card (for purchasing subscription time and/ or additional features) would be dandy.

[/ QUOTE ]
Now that is grand idea!

[/ QUOTE ]

Agreed.

This is a great addition. I will use it extensively, including such things as fiddling with my form slotting on my Kheldian.

My wife I am equally sure will completely ignore it, and go from the short texts.

A great way to implement it without drowning the non-numeric with an excess of numbers.

LH, I hope you will pay attention to some of the 'sucks' comments, that you can control.

Notably the website and the support.

Others will have varying opinions on these, but both the website and support could do with a beef up.

(And yes I saw the job lists. Hope you get some good folks for the board mods, but some DEDICATED COX in game support folks would be awesome.)

[ QUOTE ]

Knowing it's "around 5K", or "Around 10K", or maybe "between 10 and 15 thousand" ... would be nice. Not neccessary by any means, but ... nice. Call it a QoL thing, if you like. ^_^

Flawed though it is using /search Triumph hit around 1000 unhidden Heroside. (interestingly enough there was a notable skew in my SG for villanside yesterday)

Perhaps someone could post the comparable Figures for Freedom in Peak time ?

Mods:
Someone necro'ed this thread, by replying then deleting their post.

Please lock.

Someone ran a test on this.

Make the Fusion generator on a different server, and pay for a serevr transfer. Its stays in your inventory.

But yes your initial scenario is a nightmare one for sure, and without a 100% chance for repair accessibile will be a significant reason that some will avoid ever getting into base raids.

There is just too much risk of a LOT of hard work going down the drain even with a 5-10% chance of losing something key.

double xp one day during the week would be nice.

Points to Friday...

Or am I really mis-reading that Lucas ?

Time to book a day off.

Just FYI in the annoucement theres a typo in the title (though this thread is right)

What an excellent thread and a terrific advertisement for the City of... games!

My thoughts exactly.


Actually, I'm surprised this discussion lasted as long as it did.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hey Baron, as a mainly redside guy. What's your top 3 issues ?

On test as of yesterday

[ QUOTE ]

USER INTERFACE

• Players below level 12 can no longer use the in-game Mail system.


[/ QUOTE ]

Its a sledgehammer approach but will be very effective in this case.

Death Mage:
The Dev team is expanding and there will be more time and effort available.

The majority of this will go to their own vision. Ontop of that the sub-communities which are active, growing and present their requests carefully will get more time.

You can complain and moan if you like, but realise that will not achieve anything.

[ QUOTE ]
I think being vocal about what players want for CoV is a very important thing. It lets the Devs know where they ought to be focusing their efforts. For example, read this post from Ex Libris regarding the wishes of the PVP community. People who are vocal about CoV should be taking notes there about how to communicate with the Devs. Be persistent, be realistic, avoid bias or malice, etc.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yep. Any sub-community be it base designers, hardcore PvPers or exclusive villanside players can learn a fair bit by reading that.

Be realistic, be positive, be organised and make clear what the priorities should be in any longer list.

So those who only play redside, whats 1 2 and 3 on your personal lists ?

For me (non-exlusive)

1) reduce graphics lag in grandville (re do the zone to eliminate a lot of the double texturing)
2) Merged markets
3) level 40-45 Strike force

Eden drops TF pool, want me to link the patch note to that effect ?
