Quote:My stoner is a crey experiment on the DE gone horribly wrong. No issue with it at all thanks.Originally Posted by Mr_Kingkillaha
I forgot this. I am amazed at how many people are willing to play a Devouring Earth character, regardless of how survivable the set may be. -

The open steppe, a fleet horse, falcons at your wrist, and the wind in your hair is wrong.
Oh, can pretty much guarantee that we have never played together, but welcome back! -
That happened to me in Beta. I assumed it was WAI like missions where you join with mission 2/5ths done and you get no mish complete reward. I could be wrong though.

I'll get a name when I roll a toon there.

I really think most folks overreacted on this. Standard issue farming is probably going to be fine.

Have you tried it with a lowbie in the mish? Thanks for testing Nihilli.

Quote:Whoops. My bad. The C-5 galaxy's nickname is the Queer.Originally Posted by Captain_Photon
They presumably meant it in the "bundle of sticks" sense, or possibly the "shorthand for a cigarette" sense, and not the "fabulous gentleman" sense. Though it's sometimes hard to tell with NATO's naming committee. Other outstanding Soviet-fighter-aircraft NATO codenames included "Frogfoot", "Faceplate", "Flatpack", "Flogger", and - I kid you not - "Fishpot".
Some of them were very cool - Russian pilots liked the codename for the MiG-29, "Fulcrum", so much they used it themselves, and "Foxbat" has a certain something - but many were just... sad. I mean, "Flounder"? "Flagon"? "Frank"? -
Quote:Didnt know that. Strange considering it is the nickname for the C-5 Galaxy's.Originally Posted by Captain_Photon
It was also, amusingly, the NATO reporting codename for the MiG-15 jet fighter.

Why Mu instead of Pyre? Ive heard alot of players saying that Pyre stacks with Fiery embrace
Mu has 2 aoe's to pyre's 1. -
Thanks mate. Not worth it imo either then.

Have no experience with dark myself, but have a build I've been working on in mids... Is there any point to dropping the grav anchor and lockdown procs in fluffy?

Quote:Pull your head out of your ***. Do yourself a favour and figure out what a thread is about before you post in it.Originally Posted by Crysys
^^ Since when does a 1-star rating automatically equate to griefing and/or harassment? If someone sincerely ranks you 1-star because the game is asking for them to register their vote/opinion after finishing/quitting an arc, they register it via a single-star, you are going to report them for having an opinion you don't like and call that harassment?
Good grief....are you really so vain as to think that your opinion is of more value than someone else's, and if they disagree with you that disagreement constitutes a case of harassment?
Seriously, if this is your rationale for getting a persons name when they rank you, the devs would be well served to just eliminate AE entirely. That's totally overboard and reeks of someone who assumes that they must be the producer of perfect content and anyone who disagrees with their own self-assessment should be penalized.
If the devs classified 1-star ratings as griefing/harassment, then why did they ever _ALLOW_ for 1-star ratings in the first place?
If you have any reading comprehension whatsoever, you would understand that I dont actually write arcs and it is impossible to harrass me in this way.
Having the balls to leave a comment when you are trolling someone is one thing, targeting a group of vocal ae writers in a systematic way to lower their rating just because it can be done anonymously is harrasment.
I dont care what happens to the rating system. I dont use it. Its bollocks, and means nothing to me. I do care that a group of people are being targeted and harrased. The op in this thread is asking for that to stop. I dont think that is an unreasonable request and shared my idea on how to curb it. There have been other good ideas in this thread as well.
Take away the anonymity and it will bring some accountability is all I am saying. Nothing more, nothing less.
Of course not. If I did, I would think you are harrassing me rather than just being an idiot.Quote:Good grief....are you really so vain as to think that your opinion is of more value than someone else's, and if they disagree with you that disagreement constitutes a case of harassment? -
Quote:How about taking a screenshot and reporting harrasment. I believe harrasment of any type is not tollerated in the game still, or has that changed recently?Originally Posted by Crysys
Why? What are going to do with the name of the player who rated you negatively? Send them threatening Tells? "Out" them publicly here on the forums as a "Nasty rater?" Form a "Ratings Russler" posse to track them down and bring them to justice? Tell all your friends to not play with that person or otherwise exclude them from Reindeer Gamesque activities?
I'm being serious....what purpose does removing the anonymous rating feature solve for you?
And it isn't for me. I dont have any arcs up. I just think they should have the same ability to report harrasment as everyone else in the game, whatever form it rears its ugly head in. I guess you may find it funny that I can argue with a group of people about farming, and still be able to hope they have the best play experience possible. -
Quote:IMO the cases where it does happen, uncommon as it may be, seems to be a point where the character jumps the shark and gets ridiculous.Originally Posted by quickfire
Well, not that my opinion matters, but that's a pretty good argument actually.
I mean, I think that there have been cases where superhero powers changed in the past, but I don't think it's common.
Right, so you are not actually interested in discussion. Gotcha.Quote:Originally Posted by quickfire
But I'm not silly enough to actually believe that some of you actually wish to DISCUSS the matter. I'd say that some of you have clearly demonstrated where you stand and what you desire.
Iceskating uphill and all that.
So, I'll continue to serve the ball to an empty court until someone actually wishes to talk about my post.
Until then Ill wait.
The restrictions exist because people were ******* up thier toons making them unplayable. People making tankmages they could have probably balanced around, but people making pure buff/debuff toons ensured they wouldn't be able to successfully balance the 1 hero = 3 mobs equation.Quote:Originally Posted by quickfire
My question would then be this...Why do the restrictions on power sets in character creation exist, and why can't you change your original power set choice when respeccing?
Thanks for your input.
Also, not sure how long you were around, or when you first started, but they were VERY hessitant allowing us to respec our powers at all. The main reason they did allow it was because people were still messing up their toons bad. (How much of that is because the playerbase were idiots, or that the powers were not actually balanced to begin with is impossible to determine cough*smokebomb*cough.)
I have already made my argument why I believe that powersets should not be allowed to be switched, and stick by it.
Please keep in mind that this is the player questions sub forum. The questions you are asking seem better posed to an actual developer. -
A Superheroes Creed:
These are my powers.
There are many like them, but these ones are mine.
My powers are my best friends. They are my life.
I must master them as I must master my life.
My powers, without me, are useless. Without my powers, I am useless.
I must fire my powers true. I must focus harder than my enemy who is trying to kill me.
I must kill him before he kills me. I will...
My powers and myself know that what counts is not the powers we use, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make.
We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit...
My powers are human, even as I, because they are my life.
Thus, I will learn them as a brother.
I will learn their weaknesses, their strengths, their limits.
I will ever guard them against the ravages of fatigue and damage as I will ever guard my legs, my arms, my eyes and my heart against damage.
I will keep my powers ready. We will become part of each other. We will...
Before The Great Pumpkin, I swear this creed.
My powers and myself are sentinals.
We are the masters of our enemy.
We are the saviors of my life.
So be it, until there is no enemy...
I can't take a toon I rolled, and decide the powers arn't working for me, hope to switch them out, but keep it as the same toon. It isnt. If it doesn't work, it gets rerolled.
I cant imagine Batman changing his reflexes for say, invulnerability and still be called Batman. It feels false.
That is just my emotional opinion. My Subjective opinion is that it is a bad idea for the reasons previously stated in this thread. -
Quote:Absolutely. Just not anonymously.Originally Posted by Grae Knight
I should have the right to rate any arc on the criteria that I want to rate it on. If I want to 5 star every farm because, in my opinion, that is 5 star content than I will. Likewise, I should have the right to 1 star someone's 6 mission long arc with so much text wall my eyes go cross-eyed.

Quote:I understand the sentiment, but that severely limits the inf that free players can earn. Thats what, 2 SO's they can buy at 50 before they need to go earn more.Originally Posted by Dechs Kaison
A slightly more drastic solution:
Completely cut influence gain for anybody with more than 100,000 on their character.
No caveats, no exclusions. If you have 100,000 inf, you don't generate any more from mobs. Earn it through drops and the market.
Then you get into the people that refuse to market, for whatever crazy reason they have. I understand it is their choice, but still... Too drastic. -
Quote:Agreed. Quite useful for alpha soaking before you have some decent defense though.Originally Posted by Dechs Kaison
Most of the time they are not necessary because my Bots/Traps can soak an alpha without concern.
They become invaluable against AVs and GMs and the like because of the -damage. -
Those are awesome VG.

Agreed. These folks put themselves out there because they want to tell a story. It shouldnt be so easy to grief them for it.
At the very least, it shouldn't be possible to do it anonymously. -
I used to use trip mine a lot. I still do, but I used to too.
Time Bomb? Its a wonderfull power that opens up a power pick for something else. -
