Simple. Play in a quieter zone, and keep track of people who like to play like you do. I'm running a new SG that's MA only and haven't had trouble gathering new members and meeting people who aren't farming.

Tickets earned when people play your arcs are granted to you account then can be claimed on any character you wish.

MA Creation content you unlock on one character with tickets is unlocked for all characters.

Mission name: Secret Cow Level
Arc ID: Live ID# - 1815
Morality: Neutral
Length: 1 mission
Description: This is a VERY HARD homage to the old Diablo 2 Cow level.
What you were drinking when this was created?: Mountain Dew

This mission made XFunk mad at me.

I agree with Fleeting and Ladymage. It's a bummer you can't find people to team with, but that doesn't mean people should be forced to a place they have to team with you.

Instead of just standing around waiting for a team, or using the search tool to find whoever happens to be on at your level when you're looking, take time to build a network of friends. Get into an active Supergroup, even if you only play a couple times a week. Remember to consistently add people to your Global Friendlist when you team with them, things go well, and you both have fun. Not only do you start to play with them consistently more often if they have an alt near your level, you can get in touch with them if they're on anotehr alt. Most people I know are willing to switch if it means hanging with a friend. If not, then you can take legitimate advantage of the SK system and possibly join them on their team, even if it's in a high level zone.

Restrictions have their place when it comes to special content, but not when it comes to core things everyone has to do to get to 50. The game system is designed to let people slide up and down the progression easily and still have fun without a lot of arbitrary restrictions like the one you propose. One thing I hated most about WoW when I played was I had to find the right place to play and was cut off from my high level friends in terms of playing with them, since I got nothing for it until I was up to that level.

If you sit down and play for a few hours and not drop anything that will either help your toons or get something that you can sell for decent profit. What's the point in playing? The time I spent is wasted. If the ratio of time of gain V.S. time wasted leans towards time wasted, then yeah, duh, I'm wasting my time.

Good thing you weren't here before we had a loot system then. Sorry you are hooked on the idea of fake stuff, but that's all it is is fake stuff, and while there are benefits to having it, the game experience is not totally nullified when you don't.

You can do everything in this game without a single IO. Everything. With IOs you can do it better, faster, more easily, but it can still be done without a one, and it can be a lot of fun too.

Really looking forward to this. I tend to 3 slot Hover and Swift just to get my flight characters up to a tolerable speed.

What?! Hover is supposed to be the defensive boost power, not a travel power. Fly is a travel power. If you're going to 3 slot Hover, put in the Defense Boost, not flight speed... The way I see it, this speed boost to hover is to make it so that we are moving at an acceptable speed and aren't totally getting hosed by our teammates while we are fighting at lower levels (pre-Speed Boost).

Hover is a tactical power, and people can use it for whatever they like. My main use for it is positioning tool and mobile firing platform, so the last thing I want is to bother with switching just for some more speed.

Nice long discussion about this from last week

Actually we have a kick based MA set because most of the other sets involve punches of varying shapes/styles.

These posts always make my day. Thank you. I'm really looking forward to playing Flame's MArc.

Yes, he was there. To the left I think, my left anyway. I was emcee so I was facing the crowd. No matter it was a great crowd and lively too.

No worries I wasn't trying to be a pain, just blinked at seeing someone who I hadn;t seen at all.

No offense, but I don't remember seeing GD in the lineup. If I missed him so be it, but I looked at most people.

Stupid clock changing time brain scheduling error event missing things!

hehe if people hadn't been so intent on crowding, we would have had almost 3 sides. people were jamming in between my girlfriend and I at the last moment and such.

go down into the river and look around. There are tunnels.

[/ QUOTE ]

None of which have entrances down near the water.


Find Lift H on the map. Go to the top of it, and look for a gnarly old tree. The tunnel entrance is there.

I would like an example of this experience that has shown us. As far as I can tell none exist.

You clearly weren't paying attention when the changes to Merits for Story Arcs and TFs were announced.

Sorry if this has been asked/answered already.

Will we be able to set up "Keyed" doors/elevators? In other words, you have to complete a set mission goal to get the key that opens the door to the next level of the map?

Here's my stab at it

I didn't take much time on colors or the face, I just had a couple ideas I wanted to try. the gas mask looks a little too big, but I like the valkyrie mask (under Full masks), and the more piglike ears.

Tough choice between the chest detail and chest I chose and the one you had, with the Arachnos symbol.

I'm not sold on the hooves, but maybe they'd look cooler on a bulkier figure.

Can you explain what you mean by "unique feeling" ?

Do you want him more pig-like? Want a more recluse kind of vibe?

I'm just not sure what you're looking for, or how much you want to change.

Spores only causes agro if you get to close. Other than that, no agro associated w/ it.

This is not true.

Unfortunately this guy was canned due to some downsizing.

[/ QUOTE ]

He was canned because his project (bring CoV to Live) was done and his contract was over. You don't keep two producers on one live game.

Which was pretty much VBB running on default settings. It's possible they want to do it again with some customizations in place, or dry run the migration script.

I don't believe this was a "lapse in service."

[/ QUOTE ]

And I don't believe you're in a position to effectively judge.

This was cooler than when Cricket fired off NovaBan. Thanks Ex, it was a good laugh.

Is it really so far out there to think a major expansion is in the offing?

[/ QUOTE ]

Thinking about it is fine. Circulating it as fact is another matter entirely.

Remember the sturm and drang over bases last issue? Most of it was because people took a few comments about big changes to bases blown wildly out of proportion.

After the fact it turns out they were planning to revamp base raiding. That is indeed a big change. However the community meme grabbed ahold of one or two comments and came to expect a full on revamp of how things work for bases, and was very disappointed when it didn't happen.

This is what I'm talking about. People need to hold their horses and wait until something more substantive is released, or they're going to be disappointed.

Because if you recall, that survey you mentioned specifically stated that nothing listed as a possible option should be considered confirmed or even likely. Does anyone remember that (very important) bit? no, they just aggregate it with a bunch of other isolated comments and try to call it evidence, and people who don't spend time looking at this stuff think it's confirmed and get pissed.
