    In a base with 16 salvage racks, it's a pain in the butt to find the right rack that happens to have the particular piece of salvage you're looking for.

    I'm sure people will argue that better organization is the answer, and I agree with them. But I also don't see any harm in making the suggestion. Some possible ways to make it easier:

    - Make the salvage auto-sort alphabetically in each rack

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Sure.

    [ QUOTE ]
    - Make all salvage racks access the same pool of salvage, and additional racks in the base increase the maximum size of that pool by 30 each.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    /unsigned. Many SG's divide storage racks into two categories. The first is for general SG use that every member can use. The second is for additional personal storage for SG Leaders.

    SG's even go as far as hiding bins in walled off sections of the base so that only people with Base editing permission can get to the bins.

    [ QUOTE ]
    - Make the crafting tables auto-pull from the salvage racks for any missing ingredients.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    /unsigned. Unless there are some heavy restrictions. Being able to grab anything from the bins thru a crafting table would allow thieves to get around the current security permissions that might be preventing them to remove items from storage directly.

    [ QUOTE ]
    I'm sure it's a complicated process to achieve even one of these suggestions, but I'm sure crafters will agree that they'd all be nice to have.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    You would be wrong. We've been asking for stricter security permissions for years because we wanted to make it harder for people to steal from our storage bins. We only just got that ability given to us in I14. I know I won't give it up willingly.

    hi guys,

    Was wondering if there is any difference on what server i should choose? How can i decide that?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I notice no one has mentioned the drawbacks of playing on Freedom and Virtue. So here it is.

    Due to the high populations on those servers, they freqently get locked (or greyed) out during special events. When that happens you will have a hard time logging onto those servers. You need patience.

    It is a good idea to have characters on other servers so you can still enjoy the game if either or both of those servers are down.

    The population cap that locks the servers was put there to try to minimize poor server performance caused by too many players online at the same time.

    Wise players spread their characters across multiple servers.

    In the course a short conversation, he admits that he is only 8 years old. I check his badges and see 60 month vet badge.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    My 10 year old has a couple of toons on my accounts, however I NEVER let her play the game by herself. I'm always sitting next to her and in skype/vent with the people she teams with, all of which are people I play with in the game. Unfortunately there are too many [censored] in the game for me to think about her playing on her own. I also realize this is a Teen rated game, and its my job to police what she does and not the games. (Please do NOT take this as me talking down to people that do allow their children to play unsupervised. That is not where or what it was intended for.)

    And for this reason and many others is why I always try to help people, no matter what the questions maybe. I've been playing the game for almost 3 years and I still have questions. Proc enhancements still confuse me, so I never take for granted when someone asks in a polite way (even with bad grammar). I was in SC killing blue ink men for a badge when someone ran up to me and asked how to get aura's. I explained where and how to get them.

    Players that encounter too many rude people may quit the game, and that person has the potential of being a great player and wonderful person, regardless of how they started out.

    This game can always use more parents like you. Your daughter is going to turn out to be a fantastic player, if she isn't one already.

    Noob/newb guide

    A. INTRO

    I. What is this?
    II. Defining 'Noob'

    B. COMMON NOOB CHARACTERISTICS

    I. Noobish
    II. Where to find noobs
    III. Behaviour of noobs
    IV. Noob religion

    C. AVOIDING NOOBS

    I. Make sure you aren't one


    A. INTRO

    I. What is this?

    This guide is designed to give you a better understanding of what a noob is, how to recognize them, some details about them, and how to avoid or get rid of them. It mostly applies to online forums, which are the main targets of migrating noobs.

    II. Defining 'Noob'

    Contrary to the belief of many, a noob/n00b and a newbie/newb are not the same thing. Newbs are those who are new to some task* and are very beginner at it, possibly a little overconfident about it, but they are willing to learn and fix their errors to move out of that stage. Noobs, on the other hand, know little and have no will to learn any more. They expect people to do the work for them and then expect to get praised about it, and make up a unique species of their own. It is the latter we will study in this guide so that the reader is prepared to encounter them in the wild if needed. Noobs are often referred to as n00bs as a sign of disrespect toward them, and it's often hella funny, but I will refer to them as noobs during this reading.

    * Usually the topic at hand on an internet forum.

    Top

    B. COMMON NOOB CHARACTERISTICS

    I. Noobish

    Often, but not always, noobs will attempt to communicate in their own primitive language, known as noobish. It is a variant of the hacker language that exposes them as having little intelligence or will to learn. Here is an example of some noobish. Do not attempt to comprehend it: it cannot be discerned without professionals at hand.

    [censored] /\/\an, i r teh r0xx0rz liek emin3m, u cna go tO EHLL OR ATLE4St help m3 wit hthIS!!111!!!!!!!1~~1!!``!! LOLLOLOLLOLOLlOoLLOlollLLl u n00b

    Although you may find this unbelievably funny and/or annoying, it is best to restrain yourself and keep from talking back to them, as they are very territorial and easily angered. This will result in their attempted verbal abuse of you, possibly backed up by other noobs, because they work in packs when doing offensive tasks. It is not an easy task to learn this language because our intelligent accent will keep it from sounding quite right when spoken. You can write some simple noobish of your own, however, by slamming your face into your keyboard repeatedly.

    II. Where to find noobs

    On the internet, noobs make their colonies on forums. They migrate in waves, usually on weekends, and proceed to clog up bandwidth with stupid questions and sometimes even stupid answers. If you happen to be unfortunate enough to be on a board large enough to attract migrating noobs, there will hopefully be authority in charge who is smart enough to take extermination measures before they can make nests and larger colonies.

    Larger colonies can result in the mutation of some into spammers. Not commercial spammers, but pointless spammers. A noob can become one of these at any point, but the larger the amount of noobs, the more chance pointless spammers will appear.

    Off the internet, noobs appear anywhere the focus is on learning or discussing something specific.

    III. Behaviour of noobs

    Since noobs are basically ignorant bastards, they have a lot in common. The most often seen characteristic is their fluency in noobish, which is why it got its own section. They will also be very self confident as if they were the absolute best at what they are in fact the worst at. Also, they are quite aggressive and self-centered, and tend to laugh a lot using many L's and O's in rapid succession (the noobish word for laughing like an ultimate retard).

    It is their instinct to assemble in packs for defence, and they often attempt to organize packs that they call teams. Unfortunately for them, teams usually result in a total loss of communication and they can often begin to fight amongst each other. These teams are quite unlike those formed by non-noobs.

    Noobs have difficulty reading English and cannot comprehend the idea of authority.

    Therefore, they have an all-out disregard for rules, basic or not. A good way to identify a noob (bad) vs. a newb (good) is to tell them (or have an authority tell them) which rule they are unknowingly breaking. If they respond with an apology and fix it, they are probably not a noob. If they react by insulting everything around them in rapid noobish and causing general mayhem, it is because they are a noob and have had a small seizure due to their inability to understand what is happening.

    IV. Noob religion

    Noobs follow a variation of the 1337 (sometimes 7331) religion, in which they worship the number in odd rituals and put altars in their forum avatars and signatures. They often call themselves 1337, which experts say is somewhat like calling themselves godly in a human language. It's best to not interfere with their religious fantasies and practices because that can lead to a noob uprising, which can turn a forum to mush in less than a week.


    C. AVOIDING NOOBS

    I. Make sure you aren't one

    Note: This section is bilingual so even noobs can make the discovery if they haven't already.
    English (T4lk)-

    Read the above parts of this guide carefully. If you find yourself unable to comprehend any of it but are instead beginning to think about how great you are and how awesome 'teh 1337' is, you might want to take one of the many available online quizzes to check your noobancy.

    Be careful if you come across someone who really doesn't know these things. I have a friend with almost 21 months. She has a learning disability. Eveytime she plays, we play with her. Everytime she plays, my husband has to help her lvl up and help her sell and buy. We have to do this virtually everytime she plays because she can't retain the information.

    She's almost left the game because of people who talk down to her because she doesn't know something. I know cases like her may be few and far between...just be careful who you talk down to or dis because they don't know something.

    I find it interesting that no one has commented on this post. Is it out of everyone's comfort zone because it doesn't fit neatly into the PL or farmer categories?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    What makes you think that the person being mentioned in that post is a farmer or a PL'er?

    I know I didn't get that impression from the post. What I got was that the poster in question has a friend with a learning disability that is actually trying to play the game but needs regular help to do things.

    That has nothing to do with powerleveling or farming.

    I'm willing to bet that the person in question doesn't act like a jerk when she's playing. She may even be shy about asking for help.
  13. I like the idea Aett had. I have no problem with the idea as long as the exploiters that lost their arcs due to MA abuse can't buy more slots because their Master Account was flagged. If it's the Master Account they won't be able to buy them for any of their other CoH accounts.

    The thing that's unfortunate about that type of player is that they are the ones we will remember vividly. That's how we are wired. It's human nature.

    It's like the first time you touched a hot stove when you were a kid, or stuck your finger in an electric outlet, or maybe you stuck your tongue to a flag pole in the middle of winter.

    More and more players are having unpleasant experiences with "bad" players who have PL'd and it's giving the good players that do it a bad rep by association.

    That was why I quit the team I was on. I had reached the point where I was about to say something I'd regret. So rather than say anything I quit and logged off for the rest of the afternoon.

    Tonight I started a new character and had a great experience with another pug. We did a sewer run and went from Atlas to Boomtown with only 2 deaths. When the team finally broke up we had all at least earned 8 levels, and everyone was in a great mood.

    I was on a horrible pug over the weekend. Much faceplanting and teamwipes I was irritated (too much stress for too little reward) and couldn't quit the team fast enough when I read the following comment from the level 42 Warshade.

    "Wut r enhancements?"
  20. As much as I'd like to see the AP AE get shutdown so the MA people would have to start in Galaxy, I have to admit that even on a new character I'm out of AP in less than an hour never to return on that character unless it's to pay SG rent.

    I've seen a lot of Kheldian n00bs lately. The worst is when they have the impression that this game is entirely linear, and that if you could roll a kheld , you certainly wouldn't be playing anything else. They'll then use this as their trump card when arguing incredibly stupid points. "Trust me when I tell you that enhancements aren't that important thanks to auto-sk. Afterall, one of us is playing an epic archetype and one of us isn't , so I think it's clear who knows what they're talking about"

    I ran into another one of those AE noobs a week or so ago. He was on his SOA talking trash and assumed I didn't have a level 50 Villain.

    Fortunately I was on my second account so I logged into my main and activated my SOA. I tricked the loser into thinking I was able to log into more than one character on the same account because my globals appear identical. (I used the I for an L trick) I left him there sputtering and confused because as I told him, "A player with real experience knows how to log two characters on at the same time. Cya later NOOB!"

    (2) an explanation of the numbers beyond the single word of "hoarding" (does 30-0-100 really make the most sense?).

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Don't bother hoping to get numbers. They won't give them to us. Hoarding isn't about numbers anyway it's about a mentality.

    It doesn't matter how much storage we are allowed in game, no matter the amount we are going to use as much as we can. We aren't greedy little misers, we are just trying to save what we need for when we need it. The end result however is that a lot of stuff ends up sitting in storage unused and forgotten.

    Hell, I'm in an SG that still has 10,000+ pieces of base salvage.
  24. [ QUOTE ]
    So, picture this. Level 50 team, full eight players.

    One was a stone tank.

    A little while into the first mission, we realised something...really strange was going on.

    Stone tank in Granite, right? He teleports into the mob. Taunts.

    ...starts taking damage.

    Faceplants.

    And asks for rez.

    This happened a couple of times. I mean, let's be clear, he didn't die immediately - but he did get whittled down, and he did definitely faceplant. I didn't say anything, hell, nobody said anything really. But I was completely bewildered. This is a Level 50 stone tank. In Granite.

    Eventually, the team leader quietly requested that I take the alpha instead. So I started going in first. Even then, the tank managed to die once that way, just by picking up my leftover aggro.

    I was on my IO'd brute...but a Stone tank in Granite should still be WAY more durable than me.

    What really amazes me...is that nobody on the team challenged the guy about this. We were all very polite. I guess it was too awkward.

    When I told a friend about this, he suggested the guy was PL'd, and had probably heard that Granite was zomgawesome - but...didn't, uh, realise that you still need to slot it. I can only assume the tank didn't have any defense or resistance enhancements in Granite at all, even though he was running it all the time.

    I was on a horrible pug over the weekend. Much faceplanting and teamwipes I was irritated (too much stress for too little reward) and couldn't quit the team fast enough when I read the following comment from the level 42 Warshade.

    "Wut r enhancements?"
  25. We've been asking for some recipes that would give us a perma backpack as a costume piece.
