Thorny_Toad,

One little attack. Is that asking too much?

[/ QUOTE ]
Not the point. Attacking isn't the defender's job. Defenders should be free to buff/debuff/heal at will without having to worry about random loss of XP.

[ QUOTE ]
Or just don't die.

[/ QUOTE ]
Stupid comment. Death happens even to the best players. (Never underestimate your teammates' ability to get you killed in spite of all your prowess.)

[ QUOTE ]
I really DO like the idea of sending wasted XP to debt. If debt is fully paid off, well then you've been dead WAY too long anyway.

[/ QUOTE ]
This is what I've been saying all along. Forget about a death timer. Death-exemp instead!

in fact their only 2 ats who benifit 100% from this, Blasters and Scrappers

my defenders spend more time buffing the tema then fighting and keep in mind to get xp my defender would have to use "one little attack" on every single mob, 7-8 guys in a fight (one per team member on average) and as a defender i have to take time out of my buffing to attack/and hit/ 7 or 8 individual guys in the heat of combat.

Controlers: Sorry i cant mass hold them i need to make sure i hurt them first, that mean you cant alpha strike them either Mr. Blaster cause youd be screwing over everyone else in the team if anyone dies fro mthe strike.

Tanks: Sorry i can focus on agro managemnt i have to hit them a good 3-4 time before i connect and do dammage to earn my xp.

scrappers: Hold it mr Blaster you cant alpha striek them i might not get xp if you drop any!

mr blaster: Woot XP hording!

Peace bringer: sorry guys i cant go dwarf form, i need to do dmg, oh and i cant heal you, takes away from my dmg time.

warshade: Woot XP hordage!

Actually I've sniped a few mobs that wandered out of visual range before the snipe hit.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, notice the part where I said *substantially more than visual range.* Unless a snipe is fully slotted for range (doubtful, unless you're HOed) the max is 175 feet. That's 125 feet of leeway.

Besides.. if your snipe hit, you did damage and should have gotten your share of XP no matter what So why are you complaining

[/ QUOTE ]

only onthe mobs he fired on, in odert to get all the xp due to him he has to attack /each and ever single enemy/ but hey if you wnat us defenders to spend more time attackingthen buffing you, that your pogative

1) Increase mob XP outside of missions (so that street hunting becomes worth-while)
2) Decrease mob XP inside missions (to discourage farming of missions)
3) Increase mission completion bonuses (to encourage completing missions)
4) Reduce debt penalty while in missions (to make missions 'safer' than street hunting)
5) Increase XP bonus per team members (to encourage large teams for hunting & missions)

Rinse and see what happens

I completely agree with this post 100%.

Also I think that if they really want to control power leveling they should make it so that you can't just plant someone at a door and then send a tank or scrapper off to do the killing. I am in no way saying that powerleveling is good or bad, but I will say that I think it is completely ruining this game because no places(Justice) and people are pretty much running full day farms for exp and you have nothing but nwe characters or alts getting leveled.

I suggest making PI a hazard Zone much like the Hive is for level 45-50, and then move the 40-44 out to other zones because right now Crash Site is the only zone with a full 40-50 level range as an alt to PI. I would like to see Bricks go to 30-40 and Founders 32-42 with certain spots having +2 level enemies over the zone level cap, or something to that effect.

I think with PI being made a Hazard Zone that would make ppl spread out more since those that would like to pl would have to move around to other zones instead of just resting in PI and waiting for the pl'ing to start.

No, simple fact Portal missions are fun
high level toons have low level friends
High level toons sid kick low level friends to do portal missions.

as a game designer and gamer i have a slew of idea for cure jacks hae of pl but ive given up trying to reach him in his ivory tower he doesnt care, it his sandbox and he'll play how he wants.

The key word in that quote is dead. If you are on the team and are within 300ft of the team doing whatever, buffing, healing, etc, you will get xp. Now if you die and did no damage, then no xp.

[/ QUOTE ]

Read the earlier comment just one page back its sted by 2 people beside me that when their don no dammabe but are buffing/debuffing etc they GET 0 XP

[ QUOTE ]
If a player is in a zone, did NO damage in a combat and has dead for more than a minute, he receives no XP. If a player is more than 300 ft. away (an increase of 100 ft.) from the mob when it’s defeated and did NO damage, he receives no XP. Otherwise, the player receives his full share of XP.

no offense but this is WACK, by this new logic you do realize that pure defense defender will /never/ get any xp.

Le t me put up a scenerio for you.

My main Pink Defense is lvl 50, she has only 4 attacks, one a epic, and among them only 12 attack slots. I got to 50 doing a pure defense game, i never fired a single shot buecase i was ruiunning 4 team buff toggles and casts to bubble buffs

your proposed change would mean anyonw who go a route of pure support would never, ever, ever, level.

you changes may make it harder for folks like me and other to power level others as is sure you intent but would also mean those of use who take the rouge of pure support will never level because the only xp we get is mission bonus...

Might i siggest that it not be "anyone who attacks gets xp" to anyone who "participates"

if im not attackign bu im casting buffs on the team, or heal (though if you want to swing the extra coding you can do a check for healing that it wont count if heal is full still that has its own problem if a team is really good a healer may never heal and would have to rely on just buffing to earn the right to xp) you earn your xp

or mabe you just want a City of Blasters, Tanks, and Scrappers, its not like anyone plays Controlers and Defenders {/sarcasm}

just lookign for RP group outsode virtue want to pay on other servers with my lobies

Amen brother!

that why you should join the paragon ranger corps :P

ya sure im sure you there to stop the high level ambushes :nods: :nods: look why dont o go down the the Holy Order im sure i can convince them to give you a dragon hide couch to sleep on in the Squires area :P

have you actually ever managed to get your positron tf?

Vurtue has one that sorta similar but is more power ranger flavored, ie more color options...

Test server has my vote, but at least now on Virture i can content myself witha few small groups of friends who RP and some SG i joined...its just iritating when i want to RP i can find nonone new and when im just playing the ooc game then the RPers are everwhere!

so looks liek they will have the change the Earth For humans billboards and liek all real advertiser i will probably be soem rush tack job

i can see it now

"Earth for humans.....and keldians"

Aw but thenwe have the Paladin whos aparently a hobo as every time i see him shes sleeping by positron with a tin can and a cardboard sign that read "looking for positron tf"...

Wha wrong you old goat get thrown out ofthe Holy order of knights?

"Will Exemplar for food"

i gender bend quite a lot becuose im some wwhat ananlitical

for example Neko-Man is well a guy and hes uses mental powers to seduce women, no brainer thats a guy.

The "agent" from beta being a brought to life AI Matrix like agent could e any gender andi had a few varients. each with different powers they just all shared the same mind

Kickflip's concept was a gargantuan matrial artists as their only one gargantual form...

Neko's Law was in the long roun goign to be come a mother havgign to balance being a hero with a family so she was a girl... Ice Blue Ranger and Pink Neo ranger were bassed on power ranger concepts so their genders were bassed on their templates.

True, in terms of the literal meaning of the word. It is fame. However in terms of game mechanics. This is what we get when we sell and what we spend when we buy. Therefore I tend to veiw it as cash. Just my 2 inf.

its also the official definition by the devs wh states(man)ed some time ago when asked about costume changes to the effect "it will cost influence becuase changing your look is goign to inpact how you are rembered. Spiderman dint exactly stay as memoriable when he became the hornet forexample"

Transmited on the lower frequecey that only animals (and aliens from doomed worlds) can hear and run in tandem with flyers set about town doused in scents that convayed the same message to those who rely more on smell then their human brain the message was simple "are you a catgirl, or similar ferral, support group Catgirls Anonomouse will be meeting in Kings Row at ::address:: this tuesday at 7 PM, come and share you pain with Pride-kin.

----------

Tuesday 7PM, CA meeting place
A run down dusty wherehouse in the copper district, currently free of clockworks but for how long is anybodies guess. A bloack cloud of hissing negative energy siliety sits in one of several chairs as Neko's LAw waits, a pair of semi human kits chaces around her feet while she nurses a 3rd new born kitunder the dark cloud. All form and visage obscured....

the exemplars are on virtue now but id be glad to make a character to team with you a side kick....i also desperatly seek role players

Neko-Man: Go my invisible Army! (cause he has gran invis you know)
Ice blue: Power of Water
Pink Neo Ranger: Go! Go! Neo Rangers!

a note influence is not cash, the best way to explain it is FAME

for example Pink Neo Ranger is relitivly poor shes about 16 and lives with her parents, (and have every Power Ranger merchendice know nto man) but her technical genius and her force field ranger get up has made her quite erm.....unforgetable so her 90 od k influence is just that...pleape know here and give her stuff (enhancements) if she promotes them (spends influence)

Neko's LAw offically works for both the PCPD as a aprentice to Blue Steel and frelances for First Strike...she even use to Date Roger but he sees to have gotten to busy (we can never meet in game) so their startign to drift

im still unsure where we goign ?champion? just tell me what you think we need ill take a hit for the team...

the poitn i was makin is i can do quite a winde range of designs

liek my character?
