Quote:Only as a complaint about it.Originally Posted by Dark-Orphan
I put this Thread up not to stop the ues of teleport foe or the prevention of it.
No. It's YOUR OPINION that it is wrong. The devs disagree with you.Quote:I understand your concerns and respect you for it. But this way of PvP is wrong and it can lead to griefing.
No, you're speaking your opinion.Quote:Im speaking the truth.
Again, the devs say "Working As Intended".Quote:Only want to have the misuse of it stoped. That is uesing TP foe to telepoet a player to a drone. Witch is the same as tp'n someone in a wall. Think about it pelease.
Nothing to see here. Move on.
It's possible to get away. But someone else has to take the shot for you.Quote:We know once in range there no getting away so there is no defence vrs a drone.
No. It is not.Quote:So if you think about it is illegal already.
The mechanics and outcomes of droning are already known factors. Nobody cares what you "admit", and nobody cares about an apology.Quote:Try this go to the test sever and have someone ues. Teleport foe on you to teleport you to a eneme drone. Try as many times as you want to and if you can get away once. I'll admit defeat and that was wrong and apologies to you all.
You're ranting about a KNOWN ASPECT of a game that you just happen to NOT LIKE.
This is the part of the conversation where you suck it up and drive on. -
To be quite honest. I won't miss it if there isn't one.
I don't particularly care for the somewhat "desperate" air people take on during DXP.
Just as it reduces my fun factor when I log onto a server and the zone I wish to use is stuffed to the gills and about as responsive as a dead slug. -

Players on Freedom are uesing there teleport foe power. To teleport opposite faction players to these ploice drones. I would understand if thay teleported players to a boss minons or other players. But a ploice drone is a oneshot and your dead. As soon as your done your loadingscreen he heha. A littie commonsense tells me this is a exploit and to the point that I consiter it griefing.
(I do understand why Drones where put there in the first place. Most likely to stop players camping the bases.)
I did make petition and the GM thought it. Was more a question for the Development Team so was directed hear. But the one thing remains how do you stop this? Because obviously this is a exploit.
Droning is an accepted tactic. The devs know about the consequences of it. They've said, specifically said they're not fiddling with it because it's working as intended.
Therefore, it is NOT an exploit.
That's not to say it CANNOT be used for griefing. However, this becomes highly circumstantial. If you are the sole hero/villain in-zone, and the other side has an overwhelming number, is it griefing to grab passers by? No.
If you don't like this aspect of PVP, do what everyone else in your shoes does.
Make the decision to put up with it, or don't PVP. -
Quote:Back with my main, when I didn't understand the missions structure of the game so much, I did a LOT of street sweeping. After a while it got to be very difficult to find stuff of the appropriate level and a suitable challenge. Leveling became somewhat painful after a while. I finally did switch over to teaming in my late 40's though.Originally Posted by Itomic
Last night Solitary, my fire/wp scrapper on Liberty, hit level 50 by only solo street hunting.
He has never been on a team, talked to a contact (other than trainers and stores), or been on a mission. He simply works alone protecting the streets. The process was much more entertaining and rewarding than I thought it would be.
Are there any others who have done something similar? -
First off, small thing. Common IOs vs the SOs you have mounted up now.
Better value for the slotting.
Also, no build up and only four-slotted attacks? You're going to be missing quite a bit.
Steal two slots from PhysPerf. Stick them in your Chain Induction and throw two Pounding Slugfests in there. Acc/Dam and either Dam/End or Dam/Rech.
Your recovery only goes down by .03/sec and your regen will go up 5%.
Indeed, going with only 2 EndMods and no greens, and throwing two more Slugfests would yield 226% recovery and give you two damage capped, high accuracy.
Also, I find that Unstoppable is somewhat useless on a defense capped tank. Yes, every once in a blue moon it MAY save your bacon. 99% of the time it's a waste of a power choice and slots. -
Will try this again from home. For some reason my copy of Mids won't open your data chunk either.

This really cannot be stressed enough, if it's the hard drive that's clicking it WILL die soon. If you've already backed up all the data (the programs themselves don't matter as they can be reloaded from the original disks but the DATA is critical) such as your email, documents, pictures and so forth then a hard drive failure is simply a nuisance. If you haven't backed up your data then when the drive dies all your stuff is GONE.
Even if it isn't the drive that's clicking I would strongly recommend regularly backing up your data... I've had drives suddenly die with no warning. Any important data on my machines is resident on at least two hard drives... really critical stuff exists on more than one computer. It's a fact of life that hard drives die, and it's not that uncommon for them to die suddenly.
I've had this happen a lot also, one possible culprit is a wire that's dangling down into the fan, that gives a ticking sound and can freeze the fan entirely. Most commonly this happens when I haven't tightly secured a wire and it works it's way loose. More often than not I'd just been into the case and replaced a drive or card and forgotten to make sure the wires are all out of the way.
Bad bearings on a fan can also cause this, as can a bent fan shroud. If the shroud's bent it's usually an easy fix to bend it slightly so it no longer touches the fan. If the fan bearings are making noise it's time for a new fan. Generally new fans cost around $5 so it's no big deal.
Windenergy21, back up your stuff ASAP!
Then get yourself a new hard drive and reload your system. -
Plat, can you export again? Maybe with the data chunk?
The link isn't working for people to import into Mids. -

No biggie. We have prestige to spare. -

I keep thinking I still haven't run the second half of Posi, but it was that damn dam that made the whole High Visibility Suit thing come to being.
And besides TFs there are also Trials. I don't need the respec, but I do dig the respec trial.
What do you guys think?
Sounds like a good idea. -

Nuclear Fyre here... it took us a mish to gel well as a team and we ventured forth from there. I cannot speak for everyone but I had a good time, went up a level, and even ended up having a few recipes to sell off.
I may not be around for next week's adventures due to the whole real life thing.
Real life suuuuucks!

Can you point me to original post please?
I can't remember exactly what you guys do/have done.
Sorry in advance, if it's sitting right there on the first page. My browser is whacky. The less interfacing I do with it, the better.
Layout of original base:
New layout. Entry and medbays still in the same place, just the base is rotated 90 degrees CCW in the original picture. Crafting areas are in the same general location. Though they've been the larger rooms for several months now.
And a closer view of the TP bays.

Okay, came THIIIIIS close to necro with the old thread and decided against it.
Just figured I'd give you guys in MLC an update.
After Fire/Rads tonight I took a look-see at our prestige and found it something in excess of 1.16 million.
Cue CBES (Chronic Base Edit Syndrome)!
First I bumped our plot size a bit.
Then, I revamped the TP bays. Gone is the side hall. We now have two chambers (8-pad and a 4-pad).
The pads run in alphabetical order, counter-clockwise from the door off the base entrance room.
Primary Chamber
- Atlas Park
- Boomtown
- Brickstown
- Creys Folly
- Croatoa
- Dark Astoria
- Eden
- Faultline
- Founders falls
- Galaxy City
- Hollows
- Independence Port
- Kings Row
- Peregine Island
- Perez Park
- Pocket D
The alphabetical sorting continues in the secondary chamber.
- Rikti war Zone
- Skyway City
- Steel Canyon
- Striga
- Talos Island
- Terra Volta

The second team tonight didn't have it quite so easy. My leadership tonight...well...sucked.
We tried a high level bank mish and tried charging the bank. NOT happening. Even taking off into the air STRAIGHT FRACKING UP from the hospital seemed to draw fire/stuns/holds/etc. It had me ready to bite rocks and spit sand.
So we were never really facing the bank villain all at once (Scirocco). Needless to say we got eaten.
Mea culpa. Mea culpa. Mea maxima culpa.
We started again doing radios of my level (33). +1x6. That proved a bit easy. So I bumped it to +2x8. That seemed a bit sweeter once we got in the rhythm. We still were having some nasty TPKs though. Granted. We were a 4 man team. So we were doing iron-man duty taking on +2x8. Especially CoT.
But all of us stuck with it, and didn't really do half bad. Hopefully we'll see these guys back again.
- Flamin' Trolla
- Jackal Flame
- Nuclear Fyre
- Radical Burner
Well, back on the positive. We had a LOT of new faces tonight. Happy to see you all! Hope you had at least SOME fun tonight! -

I've actually got a fire/rad on Freedom- if one of my infrequent blocks of free time lines up with your schedule I might drop in.

Okay, added a link to your event in the Freedom Fire/Rads threads in both the Freedom forum and the Controller forum.
Additionally, I added a link in the original post in the threads too. -
Quote:Well, if we have enough people needing Midnighters, we'll run two teams of that.Originally Posted by Postagulous
OK, tonight, if we have two teams, I'll lead the lower ones, or those who need it, in Midnighters. That might go pretty quick.
What're you thinking Hyper? Others?
Oh, and the obligetory:
THIS IS TONIGHT
If not, we can pick a Task Force and annihilate it. -
Heads up guys!
Apparently we have some buddies on Liberty trying to do the same thing!
They're looking to run Tuesdays and Thursdays.
