Work in progress is a legit state to be published. An obvious homage mission that at some point when the author has time away from RL stuff like, work, marriage, kids, other entertainment, they will finish up their mish.

People need to relax on the entire is this a farm issue IMHO of course.

Not that I have seen lowbies sitting at the door in AE missions since auto-sk makes them somewhat useful regardless of their level, I would support more co-op AE missions.

There is a balancing factor they are called devs with datamining information, all this other stuff is a bunch of human faults in all their wonderful glory at work.

These auto-sked lowbies standing around on a level 54 is total BS and I am calling you on that one mate. That was pulled from you bum.

The real point of MA is the story aspect of any mission has to be there in the devs eyes. They recognize that ANY mission MA or PvE can be farmed save timed mission, which does not apply to MA missions at all.

As long as the mission has a story attached and there are no exploits being used, then the mission is legal.

Farming missions that have been banned are the ones with zero story attached or using some kind of exploit and that is WAI. The devs have done their best to end any known exploits up to and including I15.

What they have not done is nor will they do is the four things some people looking to restrict others have asked for repeatedly.

1. Nerf Ma xp/inf. They have not and will not nerf xp/inf in MA vs PvE. They have publically stated MA is not to be gimped vs PvE 1-50 and they meant it.

2. Stop all whatever maps. They have not and will not stop story makers from using an all whatever map. They publically stated all whatever were ok, but like ANY other MA mission they need a story.

3. Take away auto-sk. Makes zero sense to them because they want low level and high level friends to be able to team without worrying about the limited sk mechanic.

Instead of spending stupid amounts of re-coding the game to include the "feature" people have been begging for (please increase the range of sking) for the three years I have been here, they made auto-sk, WAI.

4. Remove AE from Atlas. Not a priority for them since it is the primary lowbie zone and the sister zone of Galaxy has been there for people that wanted to avoid the CC, Sewer Team, general rabble that IS Atlas global chat. Not high on the list since it is more a personal issue than an actual game mechanic issue.

There really is no game mechanic issue at play here. People really need to go play the game and have a good time.

This one would make a million times posted in these kind of threads:

pohsyb was asked:

Q:Is there a limit to how many AVs/EBs can be in a mission?
A:Yes, the amount of spawn placements on the map.

As has been stated before there are many reasons that you my not think of that the use of this great feature and it is intended. Castle's all AV map comes to mind. WAI.

So in other words this "IS" another one of these threads with a superfluous solution searching for a problem that the devs said from DAY ONE was NOT a problem(ie. a ALL whatever map). Brilliant!

Leveling too fast for who? I mean if you are feeling you are leveling too fast you could always turn off xp so that you only level at a pace that is slower and more to your liking.

If this is about "other" people leveling too fast, that is none of any players business and only the devs have the final word on what leveling too fast actually is for all players.

They don't seem to have a problem with leveling speed of players as long as outliers are not being used. XP smoothing and patrol xp encouraged faster leveling, so that horse left the barn in the distant past.

Americans are hung up on s.e.x.

Look in the mirror mate because that is what are doing.

Oh BTW, I did notice the removal of the other farm you use to have in your sig.

The Ae is working as intended? no problems? What a load of crap. A vast majority, almost all of AE usage is for farming. Farming is an exploit. Not working as intended.

If the Devs removed 50% xp from all AE missions that aren't Devs Choice or HoF, it would completely cut out the farming. The only reason to play the AE would be for it's actual purpose...which is to make and play quality story arcs and missions with creative and thought out stories, charcters, and dialogue. If everyone quit playing AE because they could only use it as intended instead of farming the [censored] out of it, then that just makes the AE a complete failure. Not my problem.

If they leave the AE in game as is, IMO they are giving the green light to farmers and PLers. They are basicly saying let this game turn into a cesspool of farmers that will burn out and die, because we don't want our precious AE to be deemed a failure.

Bottom line is this game has changed for the worse since AE. Don't waste your breath telling me otherwise. I've been here for over four years and I know. This game makes be sick right now. If they want games like CO to crush CoX, they are setting up the perfect storm by letting this [censored] happen. Mark my words, stop the excessive farming, especially in Cap and Atlas, or this game will not survive. People that farm all day everyday burn out. They get tired of their repetative existance and they quit, they move on. If this game chases away it's true fan base for a bunch of noob farmers, they might make a killing right now, but will be dead a year from now.

All this from a person that stands in CAP on his 50 Brute Jacobi Law spamming broadcast for his farm. Brilliant!

I am wondering after reading that if you actually understood what I was saying, but you know mate in the end it really does not matter. Cheers.

What important issue would that be?

Someone worried about the xp/inf someone else is getting in MA? The feature designed to give xp/inf from 1-50 as advertised?

That is not an important issue it is a personal problem that some need to get over.

Xp/inf in AE is not going anywhere and anyone asking for that needs to just turn off their xp/inf and S T F U about everyone else's.

LDX, I don't think is is accurate or fair to give the devs a pass on not making MA more robust with the extra's you are talking about.

I really don't think them waiting to fix the KNOWN exploits, then scapgoating the players is something the players should now turn to each other fingers with pointing.

The reason we don't have a more robust feature laiden MA is because the devs have not been as creative as they should be in including those things. It has nothing to do with having to spend time fixing KNOWN exploits. The two are not related.

I am referring too another thread like this repeating the same ideas already shown to be no good over a month ago.

What are you referring too?

No the only DOOMERS are the small group of people shouting change MA this way or all is DOOMED.

Pfft.

Another one of these. Pfft.

DR is not any kind of improvement its a stupid devs cruch to heavy handedly dictate to players what to play.

Thank goodness the devs are not stupid enough to implement this stupid suggestion that has been suggested many many times and poo pooed over the past two months for various reasons.

This is just ANOTHER nerf AE thread in disguise.

That's the goal here - get farmers centralised somewhere /other/ than where the rest of us are.


[/ QUOTE ]

That is an unattainable goal and a setup for pure failure.

People really need to just play the game their way and stop worrying about things they don't have nor will they ever have control over.

Nah, I'd rather have some BBQ pork ribs.

Mate are you serious or just a trollin too?

Are there some links to threads of people actually doing it like scrappers do that you can direct me to? My search-fu is coming up empty.

I know for a fact that the scrapper crits allow DM/SD and DM/SR to be supreme AV killers in the scrapper builds. I don't think SD/DM are able to do that are they?

[ QUOTE ]
Hi, I am just wondering. Is there any difference with the above. Been trying to decide which 1 to build. Any advice is appreciated.

[/ QUOTE ]

You can kill an AV solo on the scrapper, not sure the tank has enough dps to do the same.

[ QUOTE ]
The devs intent was and still is for level 1 characters starting in Atlas Park to be able to use the mission architect.

[/ QUOTE ]

You should have no problem providing the link that shows any the devs saying that.

[/ QUOTE ]

For some strange and known reason the majority of the devs posts about AE have been slowly disappearing over the last month. The majority of the open beta quotes are gone. Hmm...

Thank goodness for the other credible sources that have the exact same information that has just up and left this forum...
