But some one was now saying they have found an exploit to help farm recipes and get purple drops quickly , in fact in 10 mins they claim to do all the above. Beats me how this can be done. but supposdly the right build of team is essential to this ploy

[/ QUOTE ]Can you do the Eden trial in 10 minutes? Probably.

Can you get a purple recipe out of it? Nope, just TF pool recipes.

And seeing how bad the design of TF and trial pools is, I think having people farm those to bring some of the rarest recipes to the market is a good thing.

L5 means the characters have potential access to Raptor Pack, which could complicate things somewhat.

Also, how are you going to make sure characters don't get recalled at any point, or use SG base or such?

[ QUOTE ]

Def is dodging, or the attack bouncing off without making a scratch. Check the text that floats above characters heads. If you are SR and an attack misses because of def, the word "dodged" apears above your head, howver if you are Ice or Invunrability the word "deflected" appears.

[/ QUOTE ]And with MoG, and possibly some others, the text says "absorbed". So yes, def can be many things.

#1 - You can play it AND still have a life! In The Other MMORPG, a mid-level dungeon is estimated even by the devs. to require "between 3-5 hours" to complete.
3-5 HOURS!! Are they MAD??!
Don't they realise how a big a chunk of life that is for a mother of a two-year-old? In CoX, even if you've only got an hour to spare, you can still have fun. Missions are completeable in that time, even in big teams, so you don't have to miss out just 'cause you can't play for hours.

[/ QUOTE ]WoW instances are comparable to CoH TF's, which can well take that long (or much longer, as is the case with SSTF1)

[ QUOTE ]
#4 - The Villains really DO get to be villains! What other MMORPG actually give you missions where you have to rob a bank, for instance? Oh, they say The Horde are the bad guys in The Other MMORPG, but.... well, they're not really all that *bad*, are they?

[/ QUOTE ]Since when are the Horde supposed to be evil?

[ QUOTE ]

over performing AT's [...] stone tanks


[/ QUOTE ]lol wut? Granite armour is one of the most gimped powers there is (and non-granite stone is about just as bad).

Are you in the UK?

[/ QUOTE ]
no...i don't think i should....the game is still the same

[/ QUOTE ]

If the ad is targeted at a British market, then it will only show up to players in Britain, I think.

[/ QUOTE ]
that would mean that dutch places would never see any RL adds, NCsoft tent to avoid the dutchies for some reason.

[/ QUOTE ]

It all depends on the ad - if the ad is being targeted at Holland too, then you'll see it.

[/ QUOTE ]You'd think, but AFAIK neither the movie or the game currently being advertised are exclusive to the UK. So it seems that the advertiser has to specifically target a certain country with the campaign.

It's both. At least, not gimped compared to a fully SO'd character.

Are you in the UK?

Lusca should throw stuff like cars and dockside containers - maybe aim them at the station to encourage Heroes to get rid of her

[/ QUOTE ]

I have a better idea what lusca could do... with female heroes.

[/ QUOTE ]Those tentacles aren't really of the ideal size though.

Is there any real way for a scrapper to make a decent contribution to an ITF run on INV. We are talking in a normal team with no dedicated(for the scrapper) healer and buffer


[/ QUOTE ]Just like in any other team, yes.

However, why on earth are you running the ITF on Inv? (Unless it's for the challenge)

If a new pool of recipes is made for 'PvP drops'

[/ QUOTE ]No, just no.

I have nothing against PvP giving you already existing recipes, but PvP-only drops should never be implemented in this game.

[/ QUOTE ]

With the existing trend at the moment trying to get the best possible recipes and people wanting some form of reward for entering pvp surely this would be the next logical step?


[/ QUOTE ]Granting recipe rewards for PvP, maybe. Granting recipes exclusive to PvPers? That would cause LOT of angry customers, unless those recipes sucked, in which case they'd just be pointless.

Because this sure aint a bug.Its the way game works its a game mechanic this is something that cannot be changed fixed or whatever and its been discussed to death on US forums afaik.


[/ QUOTE ]It's an unintended (and most likely unfixable) side-effect of adding PvP to an engine that wasn't designed for it. I'd certainly define that as a bug, but it doesn't really matter what you call it. And yes, I'm well aware that it's not going to get fixed.

[ QUOTE ]

Ok, let's exclude FPS games from my argument because you seem to only focus on this particular example and avoid the others such as Lineage2, Shadowbane, I will also add Asheron's Call Darktide server.

[/ QUOTE ]Oh, I had no problem with those, seeing as your definition of hardcore is based around death penalties.

[ QUOTE ]
PS : I find your last sentence tactless.

[/ QUOTE ]Thank you

4k coalition forces (who have a significant advantage in both equipment and manpower) dead vs 25-30k(?) iraqi combatants? Hardly a fair fight.

[ QUOTE ]

If "you" are that hardcore and like PvP, try out Shadowbane, Lineage2 or some FPS games or join the Army.

[/ QUOTE ]Because FPS games are well known for their severe death penalties, yes?

[/ QUOTE ]

Nope but they require players skills, "real" one.

[/ QUOTE ]So CoH PvP is carebear because it lacks death penalties, but FPS PvP somehow isn't? Your argument really isn't consistent.

Oh, and at least 10 people died arond the world during the time it took me to write this post.

[ QUOTE ]

Then what would be your way to deal with the problem as you and the other Rp posting here be?


[/ QUOTE ](PvE != RP)

The solution would be getting enough people constantly into the PvP zones that there'd always be inexperienced players on both sides, allowing them to still be able to beat at least some targets.

How to accomplish that? I don't really see any way other than cross-server PvP zones. (and that would most likely mean cross-atlantic as well)

[ QUOTE ]

So, it's a bug?

[/ QUOTE ]Yes. When you get into the range where your client loads the character, they'll appear for a moment before the server tells you they're stealthed.

[ QUOTE ]
its funny how on red name has yet to post here

[/ QUOTE ]If by 'funny' you mean 'perfectly normal', then yeah, it sure is.

[ QUOTE ]

In Team Fortress 2, I don't get rooted in place to make an attack, meaning I don't have to worry that the instant I want to fire a weapon that a Spy is going to put a switch blade between my shoulders.

[/ QUOTE ]So, you don't play a Heavy?

Both CoD and Mids' are showing the -ToHit values for both versions of TT just fine.

I'm a fairly casual gamer who doesn't consider PvP an abomination

[/ QUOTE ]

You deserve a medal then around here


[/ QUOTE ]Can I have one too?

Not that I PvP at all nowdays, but then again, I don't really play the game at all anymore.

[ QUOTE ]
They're called "The Olympics" and "The FIFA World Cup."

[/ QUOTE ]Never heard of 'em.

Ads for Germany and France will arrive over time as well.

[/ QUOTE ]And for the other 40+ European countries...?
