    Ironically..... Farmdom..err Freedom seems to have gotten away from the Mag farms as much and is running more full Mags than farms.

    On my Earth/Kin Troller "I Wanna Rock You" (who was with MisterD) on these two runs.... I have never did a Mag Farm. 4 Full Mags and I unlocked Hybrid. Got exactly 25% from each Mag.

    Just need people to do what leader(s) ask and things tend to run smooth. I truly enjoy trialing with Beef....I think in all the trials we have done together... we have never had a fail. Part of that IMO is because we are vocal with instructions....I have seen many trials fail due to poor leadership. I think; especially with the older trials, leaders tend to think "Oh we have done this 100 times I will just let people do their thing" which can be disastrous to say the least hehehe.

    Sure.. Once they fix the light bug. Important thing is just to have players who can follow directions. Overall the Mag is one of my favorite trials.

    I was "I Wanna Rock You"... Beef and I trial a lot together.... he is one of the best league leaders out there. I tend to Co-Lead trials I am on more than lead nowadays hehe.

    This takes my total now to 72 Mags with 5 losses (those were all on day 1-2 hehe)

    When the fix goes live I am sure we will be doing even more MoMag runs

    Points at pvp forums Completely appropriate place for people to continue to go on and on and on.. like they have been for the past 3+ years since i13.

    This is the CoH forums... you will find certain posters love to go on and on and on... to prove they are "right." Often semantics of the meaning of simple words enter the conversation, but thankfully shortly (2-10 pages later) the "debate" will die. Nothing you did...just unfortunately the nature of the beast - forum pvp.

    Granted half of his face is hidden, but something about him makes me think of a Gale Harold (circa 2001).

    Nope, you both missed the mark. That thread's talking about some level shift bug. Totally not the issue here.

    I send in my pets to fight Tyrant. They immediately come back in little bitty pieces. While we're at it, let's turn off all Tanker sheilds, remove Blaster ranged attacks and prevent Stalkers from doing anything in melee!
    Because they are not getting the shift from the lights... which is what Zwill said is in a bug fix soon. Of course your pets are like paper dolls.. they are +2...fighting a +9

    Personally I just think her face looks extremely awkward. It looks like someone did an amazing tattoo..and then told their 2nd day tattoo apprentice.. "Here you do the face." I showed the pic to some friends in the tattoo business and all they had to say was "butter." In other words: "She's hot...but her face EWW."

    I have led approx 15 MAGs and have never screened for AT.. only thing I screen for is that the player is +3.

    Even on the MAGs I have not led. .I have seen at least 1-2 MMs on them...

    Ever think maybe the MM/player being screened is 1 starred?? on someone's ignore?? I star people I play with consistently with notes...and if I am leading a trial...I use THAT to screen people When I run into lazy players in trials.. I 1 star them and never invite them again.... I rarely kick from trials... I figure them getting their thread reward is their punishment

    There have been a lot of MoMAGs running on Freedom the past few days. It seems there is less Mag Farms going on and more actual Mag trials. Like most trials..after a few days...people figure things out more and success rates go up...so more tend to be ran.

    Pvp is a small part of the game... Deleting powersets because "no one" uses them in pvp would cause a backlash like never before seen. Since your question on the forum was regarding the game as a whole and not pvp.. you may want to remember that this is for the most part...a pve mmo.

    Electric Armor also has built in tp protection.

    There are plenty of new dmg types to introduce with powersets, say Magical Damange...There is a whole zone of witches ya know. Create a spell caster powerset, expand the role of toxic damage and create a poison damage power set to match poison control...

    Ice blast is one that can use reworking, change the special to stacking - recharge and even out the dmg with other blast sets, same goes for elec blast...as it stands right now thunderous blast does more dmg to the caster than the target...and it is a tier 9 primary!

    They could introduce cosmic powered heroes and villians, and create a cosmic dmg...just saying we have had the same dmg types forever..
    They are working on a Rad Armor which does toxic damage...which makes me think a rad melee will be coming down the line as well...with what would probably be a mix of toxic and neg nrg damage.

    As to the deleting powersets... that would probably make quite a few people quit the game. Imagine if they chose to delete the powersets of your favorite toon... just saying.

    Meh to this weeks freebie hehe... I have no female toons so this is not something I will ever use

    So far this is the only freebie I have found absolutely no use for...who knows maybe next weeks freebie is a male hat of some kind

    This is going to be VERY VERY hard to get anyone to run once this week is over, and it really has little to do with the difficulty at that point, no one will want to run it after this weeks stupidity.
    I only have Hybrid done on one of my 5 incarnates. I will continue to run it as I am sure many people will. Many people have many badge toons And if there is a "nerf" to this; especially toning down Tyrant some.. I am sure it will be ran quite regularly as it is not that difficult of a trial to begin with. Also..lest you forgot... this is the only way to get Hybrid...and new 50's are born every day

    I also dislike doing trials or being on teams/leagues with leaders like those Toast mentioned. I get that some of the content requires a certain approach, and my first time out, I'm fine with some direction, but there's a difference between guiding people and either hand-holding or barking orders.
    LOL I don't bark orders.. I explain things to people and simply give directions. I also explain WHY I am asking people to do what they are being asked to do...it's my opinion the more well informed people are..the better they become at trials and may eventually end up leading them one day themselves. It's a lot easier to accept doing ACTION A if you know WHY you are doing it imo

    Like most itrials there is a DOOM surrounding the Mag initially after it is released. My only hope is the aixp is tweaked so less farms are ran and more full Mag trials.

    I tend to lead when I am playing...unless I have had a rough day at work...then all I wanna do is be the one to take directions etc.

    I just co-led a Mag trial about an hour ago...basically other person formed it and I gave out all the instructions. I tend to be a very blunt and to the point "leader;" Partially because I have a goal in mind and also because I find that simple & direct works better. If a trial fails (Which Mag didn't).. I do not blame myself whatsoever. The strategies to success are simple, but require multiple people to pay attention and follow simple directions...if people can't do that...not my fault.
  22. I Burnt The Toast
    If the devs do decide to tweak the trial some... and put a larger aixp bonus for Tyrant defeat.. I am behind that. While I do enjoy the challenge that he is atm...I also can see how he should be made a LITTLE bit weaker to foster completion of the trial and aixp.
  23. I Burnt The Toast
    I do agree he could use a SMALL nerf...nothing major. I have found the key to success is having an organized group who are willing to follow directions and pay attention.

    I do like that it feels epic and more difficult than the other AVs in the trials though....

    Examples from further playing today:





    2 people almost back to back double posting in 2 channels, possibly with macros. (1 of which continued to keep double posting in both channels after I asked very nicely to post only in the LFG channel. )
    Meh... I just don't see the big deal sorry. I have a few tabs I use for whatever mood I am in. Now if I am on a toon that is LFT I will keep the LFG tab open... When I am in a chit chat/helpful mood I keep Help open. I honestly only ever monitor 1-2 tabs when I am playing...aside from global channels.

    I always find it amazing that people let other players annoy them so much they have to come here and go on about it...the feature to alleviate their annoyance is in game already IGNORE. If your list gets full and bumps someone off that really annoys you.. Re-Ignore them. I also utilize the star system to avoid playing with people who I find annoying but not worthy of an ignore

    I rarely monitor HELP as it has been..for a long time...used for so many things other than it's intended purpose. Who knows .. maybe with the new LFG chan HELP will eventually get back to it's root of it's purpose, but in the meantime show a lil patience...or just ignore people... truly it is not a big deal imo.
