Ok, and I also didnt take PB or Ignite, since most told me Ignite was meh. So, I guess its Body Armor+Surveilliance+LRM

I know I'll be getting the Body Armor-obviously, but my last 2 power picks, one of them will be LRM Missile, so before that, its either Cryo Freeze Ray, or Surveillance. Can't decide which to get.

I'm leaning more towards Munitions, but I'm open to thoughts.

Kinda funny though, during the whole meow farm, etc. Yeah, I did it a good chunk, varying through about 4-5 chars, getting one 10-15 levels here, near 25, there, but thats spread out over a couple weeks. I did get burnt out a bit, but thats cause I was playing a lot, and Im a near 4 year vet. Now, since this whole thing started, and moreso, cause they cut down ticket caps, I barely feel like playing. So, it can go either way. I was having fun, and now I just feel, meh.

So, slotting 4 damage procs(Posi, one of the KB set chance for smashing, and the accurate defbuff damage proc and the def debuff damage proc) in say Electron Haze for my Corr would be a good idea? Or just 3 procs.

Been playing near 4 years, almost every day since I came back after a 2 month break, namely because I was having no luck making money(no, I dont marketeer, I failed business economics class in school), and came back when Shields hit. Past few weeks, guess what, I was having A BLAST. I was able to level up chars to the range I wanted within A FEW DAYS. I wasnt gonna go 1-50 in one day, hell, I went 1-25 for a couple alts in like 2-3 days, with less stress, and with all the tickets, got a few good rolls to fund them in advance! Making money, leveling chars, even bought a few more char slots to make more concepts I had in mind, and I was HAVING FUN. Now, tickets are nerfed, no one wants to farm, or do anything AE. After near 4 years, they finally did a change that upset me. Plan your stuff in advance folks, dont give people a nice shiny for 3 weeks then smack em in the face figuratively speaking. Past 3 days I've logged on for a few minutes, maybe bought a IO or two, and logged off. And this is with 40+ chars. I love farming, I love PL, I hate grind. Still here after near 4 years, but now, my will is gone. Maybe CO will be better, maybe it'll be crap, but who knows. I played Diablo 2 for 5 years, quit for this game when I was getting desperate enough to debate buying items online. Now im thinking of quitting this game because the enjoyable-ness I had past near month in terms of making/outfitting my chars is gutted down. And no....you can't have my stuff.

One reason you have trouble with money is you are not in the the friends and family program. The fact that this exists has always bugged me.

Because of the high amount of xp/inf we once earned with Rikti Com Officers, CoX has received some of the highest traffic on all servers for the longest time as we PL'd our toons from 1-40 in 4 hours. It was great fun and we started to re-connect with people as we'd join teams with the goal of getting another lvl 50.

I fear that the devs may be crippling a golden opportunity. If we are leveling faster than usual, then at some point in time we're going to need to buy more character slots.

Selling slots to even 1/2 of the players because of this fast leveling, where they didn't sell them fast enough before, would equate into big money.

--------------------------
Current slot pricing:
--------------------------
1 slot costs $6.00
2 slots cost $10.00
5 slots cost $20.00
--------------------------
--------------------------
10,000 players buy:

1 slot = $60.000
2 slots = $100,000
5 slots = $200,000
-------------------------
50,000 players buy:

1 slot = $300,000
2 slots = $500,000
5 slots = $1,000,000
--------------------------
100,000 players buy:

1 slot = $600,000
2 slots = $1,000,000
5 slots = $2,000,000
------------------------

This huge influx of currency will allow then to create and expand this game in ways not thought possible. They could monetarily have the chance to really compete with Blizzard and win back all those converts. But, the devs have to bite the bullet and let it go. The baby that they treasure needs to grow. They need to let the baby leave the nest.

Wherever the players take the game, let it happen. Don't resist it. Go with the flow. The players are farming to get their toons up to 50 fast.. Just let it happen. It's what the players want. It's what the players are doing. Just relent and let it go devs. We know you mean well, but sometimes you forget that we players are the ones who determine where the game should go, not you.

It's hard, I know, but we love this game because of certain things that are fun. Leveling toons this way was fun. I fear that now that you've nerfed it, this game will once again become stagnant and a golden opportunity will slip right out of your hands. A month from now, ask yourselves whether your server activity and subscriptions have grown in leaps and bounds?

Just take a deep breath.. Think about it.

This. Right here. Hell, in the past week, I spent FORTY bucks buying 4 more slots for my-yes, farmed/rikti comm/PL'd up alts, a char transfer, and the magic pack. I'm actually about to RUN OUT of space on Virtue(all my friends play on it, so other servers-not a option), once I finish buying slots. I've been playing for nearly 4 years, and I LOVE farming/PL. I have serious altitis, and this was the best thing for it. Work on 2-3 chars simultaneously, so to speak, and earn cash on them? Awesome. Soo....lets hope this doesnt hurt too bad.

I wanna give something my DB/Wp scrapper to laugh at and tear through with her near soft-capped Psi def, 50+% psi res, and Lethal damage.

Whats the Batman fan film thats basically just a bunch of his villains sitting around a table figuring out how to waste Batman?

Yup, same thing happened to me too, this is kinda annoying, was about to make a new alt. No purchase options, and my extra slots are all poof.

Well, in my defense, a buddy of mine is letting me mess with his account solely so I can finally try out Khelds in between getting ready to grind my main hero from 40-50, so I can see what I'm looking forward too. And this is a IRL buddy, so I'm guessing thats all right? He's the one paying for it, I'm just borrowing 2-3 char slots.

For Controllers? I mean recharge, duration, etc? Cause I'm seeing people's all over the map here, I'd like definitive.
