TY, I generated a LOT of hate and controversy the last time I played, trying to RP a villain. I hope to avoid that this time.

This sentence is in direct conflict with itself... at least on the Victory forums.

I thought your villain raid RP for the PVP zone was kinda cool but IIRC it was announced on short notice. Welcome back and sorry about your wife. I know I would drop this game (or any/all games) like a bad habit if something happened to anachrodragon. That's called true love right there.

Well THERE's the problem.

See here's some snow, lets say it's the devs, and here's a banana, that's the players. This battery is Stats. This stack of papers is the powerlevelers and this door knob is the farmers. Now put it all in a blender, walk your dog, and kill your tv.

I can't report on other peoples' moods, but I can report on mine: I'm avoiding MA until issue 15 at the earliest, but not because of nerfs. Until the rating and search systems get improved, it's as useless as the paps on a boar hog. The nerfs make me hopeful that some day the system will be used for story telling, and not power leveling. The only part of the nerfing process that makes me angry is that there is no sign that Positron has carried through on his threat, which is why whenever I pass through Atlas Park or Cap au Diable on Virtue, it is increasingly evident that people have concluded he was bluffing. And they may be right, for all I can tell. I hope he's not; if the powerleveling gets back out of control the way it was because Paragon Studios doesn't have the guts to penalize blatant exploiters, MA, and for that matter much of the rest of the game, will be dead to me.

Someone needs to stop caring so much about what other people do with their playtime...

[/ QUOTE ]

QFT, the sheer amount of Stop Having Fun Guys from my fellow roleplayers towards the hardcores is absolutely [censored] disgusting. ;/

[/ QUOTE ]

And look, a flame war! WHOOHOO can I fan the flames?

Basically if farmers/PL'rs had just keep their exploits quiet, nothing would have happened. As it happened, all the farming/pl stuff FLOODED every aspect of AE and so people complained. Stop acting like you guys were just quietly playing in the corner when it was more like a massive block party.

[/ QUOTE ]

"You guys"? So you think the non-farmers and RPers are causing the problem?

Ohhh, wait, I get it. You thought because I was commenting on the annoying display of schadenfreude that I actually was one of these despised farmers, rather than someone who genuinely doesn't care how other people spend their time having fun.

You know what assuming makes you...

I saw someone dissing someone else unnecessarily. I just wanted to jump on the bandwagon.

You know what's a cool idea that they'll never do?

Auto level for people who've already reached 50.

Now hear me out with my imaginary scenario that I've pulled seeming out of my [censored].

WoW has a class called death knight that starts at level 55 out of 80 levels. They've also had serious thoughts of giving this auto level 55 status to anyone who has reached level 55 or 80 or what not.

I think it would be awesome if they just came out auto level to say, 25 or 35 for anyone who has achieved either that level or level 50.

This is probably the only thing that I can empathize with PL'rs on, is that first jump from 1-20something. It can get tedious after you've done it and it'd be nice if you could just skip it.

But it will never happen so whatever. I can dream can't I?

Still awesome on Champion and Victory, still infinite content on every server.

If you're on Vic you must be in Atlas. AE in Sky, IP, and Atlas are pretty much ghost towns. Not that there was a high population there anyway even during the height of the PL craze.

But don't fool yourself. If people are running AE on Vic its somewhere I'm not seeing it. 3 people does not awesome make.

See there's this chick and she's giving out milkshakes on the corner for free. So all these guys crowd around and non of the other milkshake stands can sell their wares. Suddenly the free milkshakes go away because they were obtained by nefarious means. The big crowd is gone but people are still buying milkshakes.

One might look at this and say, well they killed the milkshake business because the crowd is gone. Another would look at this is how it's supposed to be. I guess it's to each his own.

[/ QUOTE ]

I didn't say that. I basically said Kitsune and I have a different idea of "awesome". To her, its 3 or less. To me, its a number somewhere north of 10 at the very least.

[/ QUOTE ]

"Different idea" is not the same as "Don't fool yourself." The thread asks people what they think, not to tell people they are WRONG. I don't really care, though, if you wanna flame, flame on. Just pointing it out.

I made a story-arc, and it earns tickets for me when I'm offline... but it's not enough... I want 100 tickets for every star my story-arc earns, 5 tickets per star isn't enough!

This would be great if people didn't one star every new five star map that hits the front page.

I made 40 million off selling bronze level 35-39 rolls (70 tickets each) from running just a few MA arcs. Might not be the best but it's certainly not the worst. Just sayin.

[/ QUOTE ]

How many rolls was that?

[/ QUOTE ]


I don't know the exact number but probably around 1500 tickets. Not hard to collect, even post nerf. Granted one recipe sold for over 10 mill but a good number ranged from 500k to over 1 mill each.

[ QUOTE ]

I'm not sure why the devs would want their face of City of Heroes to go bad, especially when he already has an evil alternate version.

[/ QUOTE ]

Because Champions doesn't have villains? I understand the pretorians but the way they spin it is two different people. Going rogue is the one person changing sides and the innuendo in the video was pretty heavy. I'm not saying that's what they are going to do but it's implied, maybe deceptively, in the video.

Plus, I really do think States is a [censored] and would have no problem having him go Rogue.

Finally, I posted that for humor, Gray.

Not to go off topic Esch, but a few weeks ago I was watching "The Phone" on MTV (or VH1 I forget which) the last scene was in Gasworks park there was a huge graffiti tag "Esch" in the background. Approx 35:51 into the episode, my question Esch; seeing that it took place in Seattle, do you have another hobby we don't know about?
Episode 1 The Bomber

I have it on good authority that Escher tags in his spare time.

It will be funny to see the first all-Hero AT team demolish the LRSF.

[/ QUOTE ]

Watch it be 6 trollers/defs, 1 stone tank, and 1 pity spot for a blaster/scrapper.

...

wait, why does that sound familiar?

[/ QUOTE ]

If it's Defenders, they don't need a tank, scrapper, or blaster.

[/ QUOTE ]

Exactly... are you and anachro ready for the All Defender LRSF?

[/ QUOTE ]

Ready except for the fact that making Bard evil doesn't fit my character concept. DAMN THE DEVS THEY RUINED MY IMMERSION!

I find 4 star combined with SFMA to be a pretty reliable search for quality story missions.

[/ QUOTE ]

That is so funny, I search for 4 star medium maps now and have way better luck than I ever did when searching for 5 stars. Rating's broken. Plan and simple.

I'm sorry if I'm wrong but is this a troll? It kinda sounds like a loaded question that leads to flame wars. Just sayin.

I just watched the trailer. Does this mean States goes evil? Because I always thought he was a [censored].

[ QUOTE ]
How could they remove the chicken tug??? This completely screws up all of my fantastic RP arcs! Why do the devs hate RP??? I pay $15/month, I should be able to play the way I want! If this change is permanent, I may have to cancel my account! We'll see how long CoX lasts THEN!

I admit I lol'd.

Poi, Demonology, and Everything I Learned from Hellions
arc: 164235
2 missions (open air and dance club), glowy click, boss fight, free captive, no kill all.
Enemy group: Hellions only (no custom)

From testing it, I've found you can zerg most of it or if you want, you can spend time killing all the mobs. Boss can be a little rough simply because of fire attack but beatable with strategy even on highest diff. Let me know what you think.

Ill have to think about a reason to switch Bard over... hmmm...

Conspiracy theorists (aka anachrodragon) suspect that this announcement might have something to do with Champions ramp up to launch. I just hope the expansion is really ready to go when it launches. It can be frustrating when there are major problems with a hasty release.

I bet they sent it out early by mistake. That would be why castle couldn't say more about it. Why would you announce it like this then not say anything about it? AND they always announce stuff at PAX and that's not till August.

Plus I never got the email while anachro did. I'm sensing a pink slip in someone's near future.

I designed an arc for roughly level 1-5 and tested on a level 2 and level 7. Beating the leader in mission can be a little tricky but otherwise it appears soloable with a squishie on heroic.

@londerwost

It's only two missions and seems to be fairly short.

One of my first purchased commission:

Karine is an awesome artist and absolutely captured the attitudes of the characters.

Welcome!

We gonna see some more variety for placeable base items? And we could use a Nemesis plot for our bases.

lol synapse

Welcome!

...and you will miss Seattle!

Will you get to visit for PAX?
