I have not seen anyone use the term "any kind of story", I have used "a story" and there is a difference even if small.

Quick example of "any kind of story" that would most likely be banned:
Lewt City: Run the map get and many tickets as possible, click glowies etc. HAVE FUN.
BANNED.

Quick example of "a story" that would most likely NOT be banned:
Lewt City: Mynx is being held somewhere in this ruined city. You and your team of heroes have been called to rescue her asap. More story more story etc.....
NOT BANNED.

Same map, same objectives different story. Not rocket science here.

I really think you frustration is getting the best of you.

The devs are basically "still" trying to figure out the MA critters settings. The had a major oversight with melee toons and no ranged attack EVENTHOUGH they had gone through the exact same issue with the wolves YEARS ago. Now people irrationally blame farmers for this change. Brilliant.

I don't think that the devs have totally worked out what they see as balanced and they need to consider a lot more than they do for PvE.

The ticket cap is in a way like merits adjustment. They needed some data to go by and when they got it they made the adjustment they felt was proper. They told u they were going to do this when they announced MA.

What I see going on here is nothing more than scapgoating, it is something that went on before MA and willl always be there.

I don't get this at all. What are your like minded friends doing? Freedom has people running ALL of the content, what server are you on?

We really need to be clear about the facts here.

MA critters were tougher that PvE critters from the beginning. They were given an overpowered ranged attack, but like the wolves, not having one was an oversight. That overpowered ranged attack has since been adjusted down.

The exploits were removed in response to their use in MA, but the mobs were not made tougher as a result of farming.

They would not touch a thread like this with a ten foot pole.

Ok.

But you have time for 21,211 posts. Pfft.

Why not let the person the post was meant for or a person that would actually fit that senario bring that up if it applies. We don't need a bunch of strawmen running around like chicken little.

How is it in three years you have developed no friends network to grind through another round of PvE play? So when you rolled your other toons you depended on PUG play? Why haven't you gotten on the MA channel online where people are actively teaming and sharing their stories? You instead come here and complain about AE? Brilliant.

These kinds of passive aggressive slight of hand attack AE threads are getting old.

No need to flame, can you expound on your formula a bit more. Is the reward in-line with the rewards for doing the same mish in PvE? Could the same formula be applied to PvE? How is this different from the rewards system now other than waiting till the end of the mission?

Keeping in mind that reward equality is something they have stated repeatedly that they want.

Well I happen to enjoy pussies, no thats not a joke.

LOL. A friend of mine that works for a big US software company told me that I would not believe the behind the scenes stuff as he put it with the "alledged" gold sellers.

He went on to repeat the standard company is behind it all internet stuff. The only thing that bothered me about it was I have known this guy most of my adult life and he is just a call it as he see's it type guy.

Welcome.

Nice video with nice captures. Really good mood setting music.
Enjoyed the Elec/Shield action. Cheers.

Since we are allowed to have a map of all of whatever even up to AV's, there is nothing wrong with an all boss map whatsoever. In addition to that you had a story so there is no way to mistake that as a farm.

Basically you were griefed. As a matter of fact certain people here in the forum were proudly threatening to do this very thing and you have become a victim of this horrible practice.

I would contact support for sure. This is going to happen more and more until ban one of these fake violation bandits.

It always feels like a City of Heroes or Villians vs City of "lonely" Heroes or Villians.

Just because the AE became popular for farming, doesn't mean the devs will accept that. If they could delete every single farming mission and feature from the AE without hurting storytelling content, they most likely would.

Do what you want, just don't assume you're being backed up.

What "farming" features could be deleted without hurting "storytellers". Before you answer that question please keep in mind that storytellers are as varied as playstyles.

Proceed...

I am the exact same way. I can't stand it sometimes. I just wish more people did things outside of AE...

On Pinnacle, it's ITF, LGTF, or AE...

WOW, not to start a server war, but this is one of the main reasons I love freedom server over all others. 24/7 I can hop on and find people doing a little bit of everything the game has to offer. Certain groups I run with do certain tasks, so I run with several different types of groups.

You have such a high and varied server pop, you can find anything on freedom.

Actually what I was always wondering is why custom enemies got WAY more exp than regular ones in the first place?
I mean if it was on par with other enemy groups I think this wouldn't have happened.

They don't. Some PvE critters give higher than normal amounts of xp/inf but not MA critters. They never gave more xp/inf than PvE critters.

Well, based on the posts here everyone should set up a foreign RMT business and go to town.

The devs came out and said ok things are going to fast. We are removing the major cause of things going too fast (outliers in xp/inf) and placing a per mission ticket cap.

Since the per mission ticket cap was inacted, the only people complaining about speed of other players leveling or players rewards are other players.

The only people saying slow down to players now is other players not the devs. I think that is an important fact everyone needs to recognize.

There are "pics" back thread. Thats what got people all hot when I jokingly said video or it didn't happen.

Boardthug, I have to admit to making virutals of some of our more colorful forum members and whacking the snot outta them from time to time. I put up Filliet the Forumites when the mood strikes me.

I would love energy blast if it did knockdown and stun instead. A lot of players have a difficult time learning how to use knockback in and effective manner especially on teams.

Oh well, it is what it is.

Posi needs to take a leak on this thread and blow it up.
