Jagged

That picture makes me laugh. Not sure why I find it funny, maybe its the pose the stick-figure hero is in. Reminds me a bit of a Wii Mii

Gah! I'd forgotten about them. Yeah, I find getting the golds particularly hard. Thought I still had decent reflexes *sulks*

You know that two I've been on, the team leader had to remind people to click the button to enter the mission! Which kind of worries you for later. Obviously one of those individuals must have picked up an acid temp because one portal remained open throughout the final Marauder fight *sigh*

Wow Forbin! I always suspected you owned a small instrument, didn't realise just how small.

You know the more you argue that it means nothing the less I believe you. The top SG on Freedom last night are obviously a bunch of marketeers who are converting their ebil gains into prestige just to be at the top. Their SG message sounds like they are having fun and are anything but elitist. I'm sad you want to remove this game mechanic from them, but glad it won't happen.

Wrong.

This game has such a thing as the Top 100 Super Groups and its done based upon Prestige totals. Those SGs are quite proud of their listing and they do it for fun.

I am sorry you don't like that. I don't like the Auction House but I realise some people enjoy that kind of thing. You need to realise that there are some people that enjoy competing based upon SG Prestige and this game provides and promotes the mechanisms for doing so. No doubt within those "Top" SGs the person who has generated the most, is also proud of the fact. You should read the SG descriptions, the one currently at the top on Freedom talks about it all being a bit of fun. So much for elitist snobbery!

I get that you don't like things that seem elitist but prestige isn't that. And you don't want people to be able to see other peoples badges? 0.0 You really want to stamp on other peoples fun! In CoX badge hunting is a game in and of itself.

I wish they let "Assemble Team" work on NPCs too. Or at least the ones that aren't hostages. Although if you were on a team and someone defeated the kidnappers and someone else teleported them to the door that's not an exploit just sensible use of powers

If your suggestion was enacted and prestige totals were removed those players would still be idiots and would still find a reason why they thought you weren't leet enough for their super group BUT everyone else that behaves normally would have lost a sensible piece of information.

Then your problem is with Prestige and not with this suggestion, so its unfair to rail against a request for a more accurate number when you don't want a number at all.

But I still put it to you that that is down to the idiots involved and is not a problem of prestige. For most SGs it works just fine.



The comments before the <bleep> The idea is nether useless, nor was the request to keep track of every SG total, only the last.

Again, that you have had an unhappy experience does not prove that the problem was anything to do with the listing of prestige and not (as is far more likely) down to a particular individual being an idiot.

When someone makes an exaggerated statement and ends it with an expression they can't type I think I am justified in declaring that statement to be a Rant.

Refute what exactly? Your statement that it promotes elitism and snobbery? That doesn't need refuting because it is just your personal experience and far from fact.


Just because it makes you rant doesn't make it unreasonable either.

Hmm, it hadn't occurred to me that Nerve might become redundant once you had multiple level shifts. Interesting

Then why do you object to the system keeping track of how much a character has generated? You seem to object to people using it as a rating of effort people have put into a SG, which has absolutely nothing to do with this very sensible suggestion.

If I left and rejoined a SG for whatever reasons, it would be nice if it remembered the total prestige I had generated.

Indeed, its tougher to "current" Paragon city but easier than when you couldn't avoid Perez Park missions.

Thanks for the confirmation. I only wondered because I do get Shards when Exemplar'd, so I thought it might be based on con. Cheers again!

Cheers, thats exactly what I was wondering. In particular I was thinking about Shards. They drop at any level as long as the mob is cons even or above. So I was wondering if the fact that 50s now con blue would mean they no longer drop Shards?

Actually I think that given Incarnate slots are the one type of slot you can "Hot-Swap" the smart choice is that it depends upon what you are doing.

When I started this thread I thought there might be one Alpha that's best for specific Amours, but now I tend to run Cardiac when solo or on small teams and Nerve for trials and task forces.

Unfortunately my Boss won't give me the time off work and the family won't give me the time off Life, so how about we settle on just the 1st tier
