Lost Ninja

This is a hypothetical question. I'm not advocating actually breaking the game or cheating, just something I have been thinking about in the last day or so.

Would you either use or tell others to use: (All of the below are undetectable, only your conscience will stop you from abusing these methods.)

1)You're wandering through a new zone and find a hold in the floor, on flying/jumping through you find a clicky object that on each click awards you a level. Obviously put there by some disgruntled programmer. It's not technically an exploit after all the devs put it there but it's obviously not in the spirit of the game.

2)You find a fool proof method to duplicated drops (recipes, enhancements, salvage, etc).

3)You have been digging through the game files and found a slash command that awards XP or Inf of any amount. Tested it and it works. (Command for XP exists BTW.)

4)Other: Found some method of getting to fifty in minutes rather than hours that is undetectable. Or a method for fully slotting with whatever enhancement you want for no Inf.

Me myself personally. (1)To 22 or so to remove the early grind that I don't enjoy. (2)All the time. (3)Unlikely the fun for me is the digging not the abusing. (4)Again unlikely.

Not really.

Been here since EU launch (with breaks) and who I have loved has changed over that time. Lost Ninja my main still holds a special place in my heart but I think if I could afford the name change x2 I'd 'respec' her from DM/Rng to Claws/WP.

I suppose for me its the name that holds the character not the powers, so in that yeah I guess Lost Ninja is the one for me... Its now my main online name.

Don't care about the external door (eg the door in the zone) but I wish you could set the door in the base to be more thematically correct. Sewer Grate for sewer themed bases, mystic portal for magic... etc.

Larger/Smaller entrance rooms would be nice too.

Signed on door only if you can select the base portal...

In addition: why should all my alts have access to the same stuff? and why account wide? Skumm would be hunted down and shot by evangel, not given salvage.... Skinjob would butcher and eat AlwaySultra, even though both are heroic... And melvin? he'd clean out all my alts and do a legger for Union asap!

You have the absolute right to play your alts as you like. Mine however are part of the same team. Well three on my main account are (and have been since I plotted out their back story 3 years or more ago). They should be able to store useful stuff for each other. I'm lucky/stupid (delete as appropriate) to have several accounts and a large SG base so I have in effect already achieved 'personal' storage.

Having limited personal storage would actually even the curve for newbies. Having a way to store stuff at the moment pretty much is down to how long you've been playing and how many fifties you've got (or how many accounts you have). To get a useful base is certainly cheaper than it was but to get one with just the earnings of lesser played alts is not very easy still (or no-one would need this suggestion). If everyone had access to a personal space they could customise those that don't have the option of the current method of personal space would be able to store stuff much the way I store stuff.

Why do we need a compromise solution?

A solution that by the looks of it is less easy to administer than just having a flag to switch on/off the base as public.

Allow a flag to switch on public access (or as there is no UI for base options as yet, make an item that allows it.

Though TBH I don't quite see how you choose one from the thousands that would be available.

Sheer Bloodymindedness - Won't listen to reason.

My Vision - Only sees what he wants to see.

Epic Laziness - Stands in IP all day doing nothing.

Getting crits isn't skill though its random. Besides only Blasters, Defenders, Corrupters and Stalkers get a Snipe IIRC. What about the rest of us?

Original suggestion is just an additional kill badge just for a different type of mob.

Would it be cross posting to say I agree with the idea?

Though I think adding an option for personal housing to the top/bottom of the SG list would be more effective than connecting to mission doors, certainly easier to add I'd imagine.

Account wide storage would be good too, but limited to say 60 pieces of salvage. 50 Enhancements, 15 recipes and 50 Inspirations. At max.

Internally I'd say just the same as a SG base, but with no power or control devices or limitations. Plus only the smallest plot size so not really huge. Plus no teleports, defenses or similar. If they do go with player housing buildings, good idea IMO, when you exit you should be able to exit to whichever zone you want rather than the zone you entered from (like RWZ).

Thinking about the situation. I'm guessing that the reason Cap is used villain side is thats where the low level AH is. So maybe removing the AH from Atlas would mean more farming types would decamp to KR or Talos. Which would in part fix the chat issue without removing the MA building entirely. Though personally I'd still hold out for complete removal from sub 20 zones. And add one into Pocket D.

Plus you could move the AH to somewhere useful like PI.

Team with a couple of kins. Perma hasten and no endurance worries...

I have celebrant on my main. And I think on an alt or two.

Aye sorry about that, my typing isn't especially accurate and I'm still trying to get the hang of this new keyboard so I tend not to say much unless we aren't actually doing anything.

[ QUOTE ]
Yeah, I guess it can't be used whilst flying (and the same is true for many summons) because there is no flying version of the animation.

[/ QUOTE ]
The animation for the Orubos portal is the same that MM (Robot Anyway) use to summon pets and they can summon in mid air, they do need to target a ground spot IIRC.

/signed, but it'd need to be 200 or so; Nemesis snipers are pretty common in missions on both sides, be they Comets or Tirailleurs.

Whether they could code it to only pick up on non-mission (i.e. "outside" snipers, I've no idea, but that would presumably allow the requirement to be dropped to something attainable redside, where they are indeed vastly less common.

[/ QUOTE ]
I did mention that only open world snipers should count as I knew that especially Nemesis snipers are common in missions.

Yet then people moan that there are no teams... merge the servers!

TBH I think that if you hate broadcast being filled up with people playing the game you should just switch it off.

But while I disagree on reasons for the change I support the change to remove the too easy access to people who don't know what is going on yet from PL teams. I'd also support a minimum entry level to MA even though I use it to PL my alts from 1 upwards. (I have been around a while and do know mostly what I'm doing ).

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't mind the broadcast. I find it mildly annoying, and sad, but I just go on my spree until lvl 5, then run the Hollows missions.

But my point was the horrible effect this is having on new players. (E.g. You agree with me )The broadcast is all they will see in Atlas. LFFT, LFM, LFEmpath, No tankers, etc. There are lvl 50s walking around that have been made in one week, and have no idea how to play. As far as Im aware, thats a pretty bad thing.

Yeah, sure, you can argue that 'People pay to play how they want, [censored], so shuddup.' But, in the long term, thats not going to work out. As it will be bad for the game, and thus bad for the players. Bad for Us.

[/ QUOTE ]
Or remove MA from Atlas, GC... etc as you suggest and have broadcast devoid of pretty much everything but occasion costume comps and the occasional DJ spamming broadcast to listen to whichever radio is currently in vogue.

I do agree with you on removal, just not the reasoning.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ninja, did you ever stand in Atlas before I14?
It DID have broadcast. Yes, there were costume comps, and the odd DJ, and random shout fights. But it was a healthy sort of broadcast. It wasnt spamming LFF.

[/ QUOTE ]
Been in Atlas on and off since EU release. And IMO the amount, not quality for sure, but amount of chat there now is definitely superior to what was there pre i13 (I wasn't in game much between 13 and 14).

Badge for killing 50 Snipers of any description (open world only).

Eagle Eyed
You have spotted many snipers scattered around the world. After arresting/Defeating them you have made the world a safer place.

My research indicates that BST and CET are the same time... However CEST is an hour ahead so 7pm CEST = 8pm BST.

So I'm cool starting a little after 7pm (cats get fed at 7pm).

And if I'm still wrong and you need an hour later... gosh this is complicated, you're the only reply so far so its still cool.

BST but it can be earlier or later. What is the difference between CT & BST +/-?

Looking for a team to run the 2nd Hero Respec with. Ideally tonight (Monday) at 8pm. That is debatable though.

Level: 34 - 43
Start: Founders Falls
Mobs: Freaks

Team:

1)Em Ission - Mind/Rad Controller @ 41+
2)Ema Nation - Mind/Rad Controller @ 40+

We need 4 to start but a larger team will be more fun IMO.


((Note: I will be dual boxing the controllers, anyone with an issue over that sort of thing... sorry it's how I play them ))

Bases will never be raidable again after they dropped the blocking/pathing rules.

[/ QUOTE ]
They did say originally that when they re-enabled base raids the restriction on objects and pathing would come back too, but only for those people who wanted to do base raids.

IMO what the devs should do is look at those most impressive bases that use things like safes and damper fields and such like to see what we do with objects and add/change objects to make the whole process easier and more fun. Which in turn will stimulate the creative juices in many players.

I also think adding an account level base, housing if you will, using Inf for currency rather than prestige should be looked at. Then even those of us who cannot edit their base due to not being able to edit their SGs base get to use a great system.

CoH is almost defined by the fact you can do so much creativity within the game. Bases are just another part of that IMO.

Mind/Rad and almost more fun than Fire/Kin in some situations... certainly more survivable.

Looked and they just seem to be different colours now. could have sworn their faces looked different before.

I got attacked by the AV pet on the last mission of ITF. He'd got stuck on some scenery so I went back to get him. I was SKd up at the time as level 39 Controller. He was 50 or 51 or something and he took one look at me and killed me... Then later after the rest of the team had had a good laugh at me he was best of friends again
