Ticket by their nature "over reward"- they concentrate drop potential and let you focus it wherever you want. Either that's working as intended or the devs have a collective room temp IQ.

I do think the mania for AE farming took them by surprise- maybe they didn't quite grasp how much more efficient tickets were? Or underestimated its attractiveness to incoming players?

Costume recipes are cosmetic and don't really affect game function so no skin off the dev's noses by increasing the drop rates.

Well, except for the famous Posi quote that they were supposed to be in high demand and command "top prices", or whatever the actual wording was.
That was a pure botch all the way round.

Tanker. Not Tank.

Don't be tedious.
The meaning is clear either way.

The problem with it on Defenders is it doesn't help in most cases.

[/ QUOTE ]

the problem with it on defenders is that it rewards them for failing at their task.

the same logic applies to tanks.

[ QUOTE ]

I thought that was the point of a defender as well.

[/ QUOTE ]

and thus we come to the underlying thematic dissonance of the mechanic and why a lot of folk don't like it.

[ QUOTE ]
I think If they had a system like Vigilence for tanks it would help. Instead of end reduction though have the tank gain damage strength as his team takes damage.

[/ QUOTE ]

I thought the whole idea of 'the tank' was to hold aggro and keep their teammates from eating damage?

PhiloticKnight/Thread is the weakest combo.

Milk will do them much more harm imo and cats all over the place drink that.

The profundity of your logic sends a thrill up my leg.

Maybe I'm just crazy and everyone is sane...

You have a point there.

my spines scrapper will think he died and went to Fashion Heaven after I16 hits.

Last year I was on a TF, Citadel's. A tank had none of his shields or possibly one (I put up a note on it in case I ever ran into him again). This was long before AE.

If AE has given us more bad players it may have also simply given us more players and some may be good.

[/ QUOTE ]

Bingo.

Idiots existed long before AE.

People have been blaming this or that for 'ruining' the game as long as I've been playing.

I see the outsize backlash against MA as a good thing, since it means it is drawing in far more players than any of the previous holders of the prestigious title Cancer that is Killing the Game.

For a game this old, any new players are a good thing.

People should appreciate the fact that they're here instead of whining about how ignorant they are.

Everyone here started out as a clueless newbie- don't front.

If you want lots of people, you want Freedom.

Virtue is also highly populated.

Can't go wrong with either of them.

When my daughter was less than a year old, she had an "explosive event" while I was watching her. It was bad. Somehow it managed to completely bypass the diaper she was wearing and ended up all over her, the seat she was in, and the floor.

[/ QUOTE ]

Just how do they do that?

This is the kind of thing Science should be seeking answers for!

MMs have a steep learning curve (compared to any other AT).

[/ QUOTE ]

not the way I play 'em.

the pinnacle of my tactical acumen is using the 'move to' button to trick them into closing range, otherwise I get along fine with 'follow' and 'attack'. =D

Like most stuff in this game, they're only as complicated as you want them to be. Use 'em as a club, works great. Want to play them like an orchestra? Also works great.

[ QUOTE ]
Farming is boring but standing at WW looking for niches isn't?

[/ QUOTE ]

Most of my best niches were discovered while checking out recipe drops from running missions.

The game found them for me, all I did was cash in.

I also enjoy farming, but it's a much bigger time and energy commitment than printing money on the market.

[ QUOTE ]
Actually I want to say that while Clayton didn't allow himself to say so directly, the implication was when I was speaking to him after the panel, that they WERE going to be doing things to the older parts of the game.

[/ QUOTE ]

MA tools are tailor made for quick makeovers of the kinds of cookie-cutter "story arcs" we see at the lower levels.

Turn a couple of people loose on it and see what they come up with. It's a no lose proposition.

[ QUOTE ]

You don't have to "stand in front of a market employee" to make money hand over fist in this game. You just have to spend more time trying to make money than you do wishing you could make more money.

[/ QUOTE ]

This should be the lead aphorism in our Little Book of Market Wisdom.

[ QUOTE ]
Amazing how everyone in this section of the forums knows everything.....ever.

[/ QUOTE ]

we don't need to know everything, just more than a guy who admits he dislikes the market and who doesn't understand anything about it.

I suck at math, but I look like Einstein compared to my 5 year old niece. Same thing here.

Because I tried a lot of the things JDouble thought would work, and they didn't work...

And also, I'd like to see any purchase of 500mil or more flag that account for investigation of RMT. Before you jump into an uproar, if you earned that Inf the honest way, then you have nothing to worry about.

Yes, because treating your customers like criminals is such a fantastic way to keep them subscribed.

Hey, you changed your sig from the History of Responsible Developer Changes in CoX...

Well, they didn't go on an orgy of recrimination after the mito fiasco so I'm willing to let bygones be bygones and assume they learned something.

Also I just really loved that thread title- it brought me joy.

they smell like sleep sets and Heroic difficulty.

I'd buy one.

I'm gonna knit a sweater out of my own fur.
