Okay. You asked for it.



Better?

Honestly, you think the devs are going to drop another 50-to-500-fold decrease on us by swapping to Inf? Doubtful.

The problem is, you're essentially rube-goldberging another system that's just a nasty kludge of what we have now.

Base building is ALREADY accessible to everyone who wants to.

Immediately on hitting level 10? No. But nobody ever intended a new player to have a max-sized base with all the trimmings on their first L10 anyhow.

This would penalize small/one-player bases.

Sorry. NO. This would be a switch back to the bad old says of base rent and slaving away an entire month just to be able to pay rent and be unable to expand. Again, a penalty to small/one-player base owners. They would either have to farm like mad, marketeer like crazy, or wind up buying gold if they wanted to expand their bases.

No. Very few people use the conversion now BECAUSE it's so stupidly out of whack. All the above suggestions do is slow down base development by making it financially unattractive.

This is like expecting "fair" distribution of drops from the old Hami raid.
And if you're going to do an inf set-aside mechanic, why not just stick with Prestige?

Let me say this as clearly and concisely as I know how, as well as gently as it merits.

HELL NO!

The base editing community fought long and hard for the price reductions to make base editing more accessible to people. All your suggestions so far has SQUAT to do with marketing, inf surpluses (other than incidentally), or anything else relating to inflation.

Quote:

Items bought with Inf do not refund inf when sold/deleted. That inf is gone. Items bought prestige are refunded as per the current system.

This is already in place with crafted items (telepads, advanced control and power items, etc).

Quote:

What I think it would do is allow base builders more freedom in base design because they will be able to afford bigger plots and more rooms and items. There will still be incentives to run in SG mode because teleporters and base upgrades are personal items and must be purchased through prestige.

No, this would just bleed base builders dry and wouldn't help the market in any way.

Quote:

It might be a small sink, but it would be great for personal base builders and every sink will help.

Only if you are a personal base builder with inf resources like SMurphy.

And (technically) Ouroboros is level-gated as well.

I currently use AVG and am having zero issues with CoH.

You may need to rip and reinstall CoH (yes, I know, pain, LOTS OF PAIN!)

Yeah. This was the main problem.

As I'm leading off, I expect a few deaths on my part. Normally because I'll draw an alpha before all the heals can save me. It happens and I'm not chuffed by personal debt.

Yeah. Again, it happens. As you play more with the group, the rhythm of the party's combat interactions gets a bit easier to read. We had a bunch of "new" people in the group and that makes it a bit awkward for all involved. Overall though , it was a very not-bad run.

Autofires, especially when the team is hopped up on multiple AMs and killing stuff faster than they can push buttons, are par for the course too. And, for the most part, it wasn't like we couldn't handle it.

Misfire: Oops!
Rest of the team: MORE TINDER!

One thing I actually prefer to do is target an enemy, then hit F to follow him. This way I'm not trying to shaky-hand-steer my way to him.

Yes they will. However, the basic premise of Stun/Immob/Hold, then run in and let Hot Feet and Choking Cloud do their thing still holds pretty true. Even when not on a superteam.

It took me a while to get into a rhythm with my attacks so I didn't spam myself dry. Usually by the time you get Shockwave slotted out, you're usually a lot more confident in your abilities.

Ideally, as a team we should have half of us starting out with fire cages and the other half doing Shockwave. This way the groups get immobilized and stunned simultaneously. Ideally everyone should be stunned and immobed. But generally half or more have both effects happen, and the remaining quarters have one or the other.

Also, on teams, I normally crank the difficulty up a bit more. We were running with 7 guys at +0x8. Nothing horrendous. If it's a team full of regulars, we'll do +2 or +3. And as some of you guys get more confident, I'll bump the diff up there too.

And yeah, who needs PL when you have a team full of Fire/Rads?
*Teh ecks-peez! Dey rainz frum de skiez!!!*

This time limit needed to be stated UP FRONT. Otherwise, it could be implicitly understood to be the intent.

ACTION FIGURES!

That is all.

I'd be willing to help you get an Fire/Rad team off the ground over there.

About all I'd request is that it be done on another night so we don't have to have people choosing between events.

I think we're doing Moonfire tonight.

Team 2 did a Citadel two weeks ago.

So, because you're sloppy with your logic and language, we're supposed to automatically intuit what you're attempting to say (regardless of the fact that your wording may say something completely and utterly contrary) and just agreed to it?



You need to be very, VERY careful basing your arguments on "maybes" and "mights". You're postulating something you have absolutely no way of backing up or proving.

I actually got a good look at a Ghost Widow model in longer-term use during the anniversary event.

You're right. It's essentially a trenchcoat/tail-coat rig attached to the a head point.

The problem I saw was that, depending on the model size, you've got an issue like you do with large models and the GvsE jump pack. If it isn't fitted right, it either embeds in the head or stands off away from the head model.

Additionally, because it's a jerry-rigged cape effect, you get issues like this (notice the hovering lotus-position GW).



I dunno if you really want hair that starts at the head, curves out and away (avoiding the shoulders and the head-torso interface completely, and then calls straight down).

And I repeat for your eventual benefit.

The devs do listen.
Does it necessarily make a difference? Not always.
Does it mean you're going to be auto-given exactly what you want simply because you're were willing to voice your desire? Nope!
Does it mean the devs priorities take a back seat to player priorities? Not always.

Sounds like UAC.

Have you tried doing "Run as Administrator" on the installer instead of just clicking on it to run?

Right-click and select "Run as Administrator".

Agg,

If you're using Firefox, you can turn off the stylesheet.

Firefox: View --> Style --> No Style

You'll get a very rough, raw page layout, but no lousy BBcode colors.

Haven't found an option to do it in IE. And I don't fart around with Chrome, Opera or (ugh) Safari. So I can't tell you if those do or not.
