Not if you're playing on Freedom. on Freedom being able to zone into Galaxy is a blessing to esape Atlas Park.

I agree. That was my reaction to the armor when I first saw the boots, haha.


=P, nice.

I abhor how Super Speed and Hasten look, but that doesn't stop me from taking them on almost every single toon because, to me, they happen to be the best pool power and best travel power in the game. I really dislike how most epic shields look, but also doesn't stop me from taking them because they are so damn useful. I'm very irritated we can't re-color our epic/patron powers to match our primary/secondary power set color themes, but that also doesn't stop me from taking them because they're good powers.

The day that they give us these options I'm probably going to cry out of joy. But I still make full use of all the aforementioned stuff as is.

See where I'm going?

Would be pretty cool if they added different maps and art designs for the TFs as is. Or slightly update the TFs without any major changes or overhaul to it like they did to Posi. But that doesn't stop me from liking the existing ones and having fun with them.


This is what I think. No one is forced to agree with me. Just like no one is forced to agree with any of the other opinions mentioned here. I'm just irritated at how some posters voice their opinions as if every single one of the player database shares their opinion.

I like the kill alls because they're one of the very few things remaining in the game that are actually somewhat challenging without having to set the missions to +4/*8 on a solo or 2/3 man team. If the devs are giving me the tools to make my toon uber, they are, IMO, required to give me enough content to actually make me use all that mighty power on. Not just use it for "Lulz" and speed runs. And the high level game content most certainly lacks that.

Eh, I don't like it, and I don't dislike this. I nothing it. *shrug*

That's way over exaggerating. Only few missions take place back in Paragon city, and some of them are even just Talkies.

I do, actually. I don't think in order for a content to be "well designed" that it must be done in absurdly quick times. Don't get me wrong, I run Speed TFs all the time. But I also like spending more than just 30 minutes on a TF, especially when I actually happen to like it.

I can't argue with that, it does annoy me.

I didn't say that the old Posi and the Shadow Shard TFs are "perfectly well designed amazingly awesome content". All I said is that I like them. There is a friggin' huge difference.

The main attraction of Shadow Shard TFs for me is their difficulty (That, and I think Rularuu are just so freakin' cool). Diving head first in a mob of Rularuu on your own is mostly gonna get you your *** handed to you on a plate except maybe for few selected power combos (Will Power and Elec Armor do rather well against Rularuu) Even a lot of the "high end, fine tuned" toons have problems fighting hoards of Rularuu. Nemesis aren't exactly easy either. If you're not careful they will get a few Vengeances stacked on them and pound you to mush. Plus, the rewards for those TFs are rather pretty nice.

Or maybe you and I have different ideas what a "well designed content" is?

I disagree. I hate the new Posi TF with a burning passion.

I happen to like the Shadow Shard TFs. Well, all of them aside from Justin Augustine. I agree, they can use some love, but I still like them.

I lol'd so loud in my office people passing by were giving me "WTF" looks.

It's basically anything with Fire based or energy based damage can light OSA. So even if you're like...TA/Ice you can still light your own OSA with the origin temp power if you were Magic or Tech origin since Apprentice Charm and Taser Dart do Energy damage.

I've been playing on Freedom. And I'm not abandoning it. And yes, you're right: There are bad players and good players on every server. That's just natural.
However, the problem with Freedom is that the % of bad players and/or idiots tends to vastly overshadow the good players. Getting on a good PuG on Freedom is no where near "common", more of "ohmigosh I had a good pug team!!!!!!". And that is the main reason I try to mostly team with globies. But being an avid TFer I find myself sometimes having to PuG for enough people to start one. But I only do that when I'm confident that even if the PuGs turn out to be completely unreliable, that whoever I already had on the team is enough to take care of the missions without their help. If they turn out to be good players, brownies and 3-4 star rating for them, and of course the global name is taken note of for future references.

I'm not an SG Leader (I have my personal SG for storage but that's it). But I tend to heavily gravitate towards your behaviour. I almost always running with my friends. Most of the time I'm leading but I don't have a problem running with teams that I'm familiar with the leader. I tend to run my own TFs/Trials. When I'm forced to PuG, I give instructions as needed, but I've learned that reading can be rather really hard for some people so following simple instructions is not possible. I have been hesitant about it for years now. But in the past few months I have made point that after telling a certain someone to do something (like don't aggro the AV yet in the trials) and they still insist on ignoring me even after repeatedly saying it in Team Chat/tells I will make much use of my Shiney Star and kick them, after I one stared them of course.

Funnily enough, I've been playing on Union lately, and I have had absolutely no problem running with PuGs. Even funnier, I've been playing for an average of 4 hours a day on Union, running with at least 2-3 different PuG groups a day, and I have so far only met exactly two people I've rated less than 3 stars.

They have also been going randomly to Pocket D in servers giving out Steam Punk codes like that. I haven't went myself but my best guess is that they want us to showcase our Steampunk costumes with whatever pieces we have currently available, not from the pack.

^This.

And totally this. And I say that as someone who's been playing on Freedom for 3+ years.

Alright. I will see what I can come up with later today. Just one comment: I don't PvP so I can't guarantee how well it will work for that aspect. Although I know for PvP you'd prolly want to proc as much as possible which will raise the price quite a bit.

EDIT: What about Trip mine and Time bomb? Those are personal taste since some people like them others hate them =/

QFT.

This, by miles. I much prefer Task Forces and Strike forces over the damn trials. And Strike forces have always been more fun to me than Task Forces (even though I haven't done any in a while o.o).

Indeed. The text specifically said

Bolded for emphasis.
