Quote:There are also brainstorm ideas and tailor tickets. I'm sure there are more out there and while I understand the need to have separate currencies for some specific rewards, some of them can honestly be removed like you stated.Originally Posted by DMystic
It's that we have way more than we realistically need.
Inf
Prestige
Reward Merits
Vanguard Merits
AE Tickets
Alignment Merits
Astral Merits
Empyrean Merits
and then for Salvage
Base Salvage(still listed on the market, probably still some in game.)
Invention Salvage
Candy Canes
Halloween Salvage
Incarnate Shards
Incarnate Threads
Alpha Components
Thread Components (made with Incarnate Threads)
While it generally isn't confusing, it could certainly use some pruning.
Prestige seems like a good choice to get rid off.
Just use INF but if you want to maintain the INF sink multiply prestige costs by the conversion rate.
Needless currency gets removed, necessary INF sink remains. Heck it might even be better, since it'll be more accessible. -
Quote:I'm the type of person that likes simplicity. I guess I look at it this way, if I go to the store to buy milk, bread and bacon I know I will use 20 US dollars. Now if it were set up like the game I'd need 6 rupees for the milk, 5 pesos for the bread and 10 Pula for the bacon. It's just WAY too many forms of currency out there IMO.Originally Posted by BrandX
I have to ask. Is all these currencies really that confusing to people?
I havent found them confusing yet. So what exactly is making them confusing?
Is it just because it's not a "Gold, Silver, Bronze" style thing? -
I just converted 1.5 billion to Prestige two weeks ago so yes 1:1 would be nice, heck I'd even take 2:1.
But I'd rather see this game stop with all the convoluted currencies flying around and get rid of prestige all together and use Inf instead. -
What good is living "forever" if the planet is uninhabitable? And while it may take a few trillion or so years this Universe will run out of fuel and go dark.
Aging and death are the great equalizers for us humans remove that you will have an even greater divide between the haves and have nots because we all know this would not be available for everyone.
Interestingly enough I read some time ago about some people that believe we originally were created to have long life times but our ancestors were genetically manipulated to have shorter life spans, fragile bodies and limited brain functionality as a way to keep us "quarantined" here on Earth.
The way I see it is we're supposed to pass on, to what I don't know, but the thought of having to work for 1,000 or so years makes me shutter.
Besides the longer you live the more disgruntled and pissed you'd probably end up being. Could that be why the Annuki are such dicks? -

"Resistant?" That name sucks. I'm about to blow your mind with a better one. Check it:
"Ironclad."
BAM! You're welcome. -
I dusted off my Kin/Elec Defender a few weeks ago to prep him for the upcoming changes. He was only retired because I got tired of individually buffing other players, it just took too much time to do. I'm liking the new changes, it makes playing a Kin a lot more fun as I can finally blast as well as buff. The only slight downside I experienced while running Keyes is that I couldn't tell who got buffed and who didn't. It's not a big deal though, I figure as long as I get my teammates anyone else is cake.
Great change devs -
And still on escrima or bo staff...

Quote:Been saying this from the get go. I never bought the excuse that threads were introduced to slow down players that accumulated a butt load of shards. The only purpose the two served IMO was to make the system more complicated, which in a way slows players down so I guess they were on point.Originally Posted by Bill Z Bubba
Remove shards from the game. Replace them with threads. Please.
I know a lot of people won't agree with me, but I think CoX needs to trim the fat on a lot of these currencies/components. Damn I forgot about Paragon Points... oh well. -
Valid concerns.
Maybe it's because CoX was and is my only MMORPG to ever play but I don't understand why F2P players are almost equated to leapers. I'm hoping F2P will bring in quality new and returning players. There are probably quite a few players that currently pay to play that may be just as annoying as F2P players are seemed to be made out to be.
With that in mind I don't really see the use of a VIP server unless they run server exclusive events including but not limited to; VIP server only Double XP weekends and dev sponsored events. -
So what strike team was assigned to revamp the base building system?
-
Isn't the UStream in a few minutes? Maybe they will say something during the broadcast? Sometime in the next two weeks sounds about right as that will give them 5 months to release I21. This way they can pass off the half issues as whole issues and claim we had 4 releases this year.
-
I run CoH on a MacBook Pro. I have no issues with it that I don't have using a Windows machine. For example I can't run content using wireless when their is a high population on a given server. I guess mapservs don't discriminate, so I would caution getting an Airbook as I think they are only wireless.
-
I would like them to allow the SG across servers.
In fact I wish they would do away with the current server system altogether and move to one where you select your toon, then select which server you want to play on.
By the way, all these years and I never knew you played on Victory! -
I would have thought they would bar them from making Defenders or Corruptors since the two are so similar. Maybe as a way to encourage teaming with F2P players they banned them from having their own "team" by way of pets?
-
Does that mean we don't have to pay our base fees any longer?
-
I'm down, I'm usually just bumming around in game running a couple of missions for an hour but will stay longer if there is a TF going on. I forget what the WST is this week, but I'm willing to run just about anything provided it doesn't start after 10PM EST.
Also there is a new channel "Victory Limitless" you can join. -
I'm not sure how Time Manipulation will work, the concept doesn't seem like it makes sense but I guess they found a way to do it. I just hope they didn't throw a bunch of "slow" and teleport powers together.
Time manipulation and still no Eskrima? -
Just read the whole Freedom thing. I'm most curious at how the Time Manipulation power set will work. Conceptually I can't see how something like that would work with CoX. Time Manipulation but no Eskrima or no defensive set with a aura? Blah...

Quote:About a year or so ago some players knew something wasn't right with the purple drops. Of course the dev team said nothing was wrong and the players that usually back the devs blindly agreed. Some of us collected hundreds of hours of game logs for analysis which were complied and given to the devs. Lo and behold they finally admitted there was an issue with purple drops.Originally Posted by Bad_Influence
The playerbase has "accumulated no facts," they've accumulated a bunch of unverifiable hearsay which is not one whit more substantiated than my strong suspicion that the RNG is influenced by several if not many qualifiers, and its "random" after that, maybe. Pffft. Please.
There is nothing anecdotal about that, just cold hard facts gathered by the playerbase then confirmed by the devs.
Edited: Okay it was more than a little over a year ago it was back in late 2009 when the new mission difficulty settings were introduced

Quote:I appreciate the help!Originally Posted by Grouchybeast
It is a ridiculously clunky and unintuitive system.
If you like, if you get a character ready with a bunch of prestige and let me know when you're online, I could roll a throw-away character up on that server and make you a very plain but functional base with some storage. -
Quote:I would if I weren't horrible at base building. I tried it a couple of times, I just find it too confusing even with help from a few forum threads.. Someone should write a base building for dummies book or do a video tutorial.Originally Posted by Grouchybeast
Sell a couple, convert the inf to prestige, and build a base to store the rest :-)

Quote:I see your Tank and raise you my Fire/Dark Corruptor. 4 Purples in the last month and I don't even play more than 3 hours a week anymore if that.Originally Posted by Residentx10
Everyone know the Tank Archetype get the most drops of all the types. This is because of their "Death Dealing" powers. I call it the front line bonus...but you'll never read this in the wiki

Quote:This is pretty much it. It sucks because not all builds are equipped to play this way. I'm sitting on so many right now I'm thinking of giving some away since I don't have a personal base for storage space.Originally Posted by Dechs Kaison
Resident is spreading a lot of misinformation.
If you want purple drops, your best way to do it is to farm -1/x8 maps at level 50 by yourself!
My advice is if your are looking for purples to try sets that deal a lot of AoE damage. My favorites are Fire/Dark or Fire/Rad (they can toggle herd better IMO) Corruptor. Some players have success with Fire/Kintrollers but I enjoy the Corruptors more. -
Happy Birthday Posi!
