White Hot Flash

Last time I checked, it's still a game about super heroes and super villains. Time to get over the past, cause it's not coming back.

When did AE ever get taken away? It's always been working since they put it in.....oh wait, you mean AE FARMING. Again...get over it.
It's not the devs that affect (not effect) market values on anything. Players set the value based on what they're willing to spend, or what they're willing to part with to sell it. There's nothing in the rules or EULA that says you are entitled to have a fully purple IO'd character as soon as you hit 50, or anytime thereafter. You want it, work for it. It doesn't take that long if you know what you're doing.

Make some suggestions that are worth listening to, and they might listen. Whining is not making suggestions.

I see nothing wrong here.

I can beat that. I'm gonna miss almost all of it, due to a previously planned camping trip.

They won't be beta testing GR for a while yet, so why bother giving out more info than they already have about it right now? It won't kill anyone to wait a couple more weeks.

What bug would this be? Never heard of it

Zombies do indeed come out as well. When I logged in the first time there was a Zombie invasion ongoing.

The timer for the event is in the Nav Bar UI when you're close to a banner. It won't be visible otherwise. I believe it starts at 15 min (could be mistaken). When the timer gets to zero, the banners disappear and the apocalypse is over.


Question about the new stuff:

When the banners are defeated, are the Aspect GMs going to be spawning at one of a few set points, or is it totally random? A waypoint on the map, like the Steel Canyon Fires, or what pops up when you find a key for a side mission in a mayhem/safeguard would be nice, or even something on the Event Channel like "The Aspect has been spotted in (Insert name of neighborhood)" would help us narrow down the search, especially if it can be so easily defeated before the majority of teams can find it.

ToT was more fun. I like that the costume salvage drops from the tricks, not from getting a treat. Once I got used to how the trick mobs spawn, it wasn't a problem. I got several treats right off the bat, then a long run of tricks, and then a few more treats, so I guess the ratio is about right. Saw plenty of ghosts, so those seem to be spawning as they should.

Suggestion for the Aspect: If Eochai and Jack are still going to be spawning like last year, is it possible to not have them in the rotation of Aspect GMs, to avoid the confusion? This way, if we see Eochai, we know for sure it's not the Aspect.

So you must be working for Cryptic to know this stuff for sure?


Cryptic might have been the name of the company, but Jack was long gone from the project, and the vast majority of the Dev team that's been working on the game stayed with the game when it got bought out by NCSoft. What was your point again?

Apparantly the Devs just love to hear whining. Or maybe the EU folks just love feeling persecuted and continue to subscribe to the game to get their fix.

Seriously...If this is the thing that you staying around hinges on, you might as well hang it up now and move on to Champions, if you haven't already.

This also applies to anyone in general, as well. If you're frustrated enough at the game that ONE LAST STRAW remains before you quit, just save yourself the angst and quit now. It's a win-win for everyone.

Here's the skinny from Pohsyb:

The odds are very small that your number of drops on each character compared to the next will be the same even if your kill counts are similar. We are talking random numbers here. If they were the same, I'd say there was something wrong with the code. Keep playing and you'll see the numbers get closer together.

Here is the thread that's dealing with the borked drop rates. If what you say is true, you're an odd case. Personally, I never got a ton of recipe drops, outside of common IOs, before I16 anyway. I've not done anything but regular mishes since the new issue and have noticed a few less recipes than normal, but nothing to scream about. YMMV

This. Elf, you just said that you wanted to challenge yourself by fighting all bosses. The game still lets you do that. Your reward is the challenge itself, however, because there are folks that are not challenging themselves. They kept making green mito farms, or other non-threatening mob farms because they don't want a challenge, they just wanted an easy payday.

There are too many other ways to make quick cash in this game to allow folks to use the AE in that way.

As far as I could tell, none of the above was happening. But Champion has CCs and Rikti Invasions fairly regularly, due to lots of LGTF runs, and it doesn't affect me. Like I said, I was just soloing a lowbie in KR. I only mentioned it at all because of the odd behavior of the pop up boxes.

Don't remember them saying you could be God....anyone else?

Without rules and guidelines, Elf, you get broken content. Either it's unplayable, or so skewed compared to the regular content that it needs to be reigned in. We encountered a little bit of both. For those who are using AE to tell stories, it's running just fine.
