Deathbeforedisco

I believe it would be a wonderful thing to create though I don't see it taking off for a few more months or longer. Why?

Well, with Issue 21, the devs created an anti exploit program called MARTy which I think will nerf AE farming BAD. MARTy will see that farmers can get 9,999 AE tickets in 5 minutes and allow players to go from level 1 to 50 in about 30 minutes. See MARTy will not tolerate that and will pull out it's nerf bat and auto nerf by not allowing them to get as many rewards once they get to a certain level in a certain time forcing it to take much longer to level up and will also not allow the missions to award as many tickets once they get a certain amount in a certain time.

This might allow the Devs to plug in some mechanics AE desperately needs. Like Ally's not leeching as much tickets and XP. I hate putting in Allies in my missions to help because players don't get any tickets or XP because it's killing everything in sight and not letting players get any rewards or I am stuck using only Force Field with no attack powers. LAME!

Another needed mechanic is more XP per mob kill. Players are better off spawning Mayhem missions and doing tip missions to get more rewards. Why waste time on an AE mission right now unless it's a farm you can do? These are issues the Devs are looking at I think. So in the end. I believe a club like this will be more successful in the future.

MARTy could be like ED's was when it came out with City of Villians. It will really screw up the game at first. But then in a few months or a little longer, the game will get WAY better. So I won't make the mistake I made when I quit the game because of ED's.

I apologize in advance, but I want to to disclose my post issue 21 plans anyways even though it's not the topic of this post. I plan to consolidate down to 2 active characters plus an ALT that was once uber, but got destroyed once EDs came out. I can't bring myself to delete her for sentimental reasons so I decided to keep her and look for ways to improve her. But I am doing this to save cost and time because I reason that I would want to 2-4 toons with all tier 4 incarnate powers rather than focus on getting 48 level 20-30s. I also want to focus on AE more by making my own story arcs and playing other peoples story arcs to level up while also doing tip missions and mayhem missions. So a club like this would suit me fine in the future because I have another outlet to look for more AE missions for me to play!

I'll check it out on Monday when I go back in game.

I got the idea for my name by watching the movie "Stripes" from the part where the whole platoon goes to a strip bar/mud wrestling bar and got busted by the military police. One of the guys who was being scolded by the captian had a T-shirt on that said "Death before Disco". LOL

Anyways. Thanks for the feedback.

Don't worry about bad reviews hurting your feelings. Certain people like things a certain way and we are all different. Just look at a move like "Sex in the City" for example. Myself and my guy friends will most likely give bad reviews and hate on it if forced to watch it and give our honest opinion. Doesn't make it a bad movie and hollywood should expect us to hate it because we are not the target audience. When they should worry is when the ladies don't like it, because thats who they are targeting with that franchise.

Been reading it. Just haven't bothered to respond until now, that's all.

I should be thanked for bringing up this discussion anyways because not only should Paragon Studios offer up to 48 Slots, but from what I am reading here, they should seriously consider offering up to 60 character slots now.

I agree, because I used one my respecs and got both RI and EF and read your guide and tried out the new tactics solo. I believe I have teamed with Rads using RI and EF, but mistaken them for just running Choking Cloud or something else.

Guide works like a charm. I made two AE level 1-3 Story Arcs and had my Controller solo them. I couldn't use EF, but I used RI and chain fences alot and would just hit a group of mobs with chain fences and then hit an anchor with RI and then use Tesla Cage, Electric Fence, vet powers and brawl to finish off the mobs and I did fine. I also soloed a single Radio Mission and tried my other powers and did good, too.

I also changed my Radiation Powers color to light purple and had it match my Electric powers and I do not think people will notice much that I am using RI and EF.

Thanks again Local Man. That is a good guide.

Good Idea, I am gonna find those guides and read them tonight. Not only I am going to take Enervating field, I am going to take everything except fallout (only because I keep forgetting to use it. Habit forces me to rez before I use vengeance, and I assume the same problem for fallout. ) and I am going to find a way to make it work somehow.

Main reason for bringing this up anyways is because I have never seen a radiation emission defender, corruptor, or controller ever use enervating field or radiation infection in a team and I play on Virtue which is the most crowded server out there and I have been playing almost 4 years. I mostly see the rads throw out heals, AM and just start holding or blasting away. Made me wonder if I should take those powers or skip them.

Thanks for the responses and wish me luck!

Lagging up the Vrtue server.
