Captain Yesterday

I have no number to assign you. THIS is how you post a counter argument, One I can understand, and respect. Thank you. --- Found the 1 hero on the city of heroes forum. --- As a counter, i find the Ah is worse in some ways now. or about the same. Either way farmers do 2x work for the same rewards, and ah flippers hoard all the wealth and recieve reduced prices all the while in the background.

I just want to show the other forum people what you all are.

SO youve chose to troll someone with a legit grip. Viva City oh Haters! -- No 1-12

No.8 & 12 --- well Perma No. 8 &12

No. 8

No.12

No.12

No. 12

Love the picture - No.11 by the way /jranger Thank you, city of haters! BTW didn't some man and his family recently quit the game because of haters like you? The fact that you don't see or care how obnoxiously evil you are to anybody who expresses a dissenting opinion or refuses to tow the party line shows your real intentions. -- Also, he went through all that, got a picture, etc, and STILL didn't address the problem or provide the solution. Ah well.. City of haters gonna hate.

Your answer was effectively - "i'm somebody Speschul and you should know me I'm famous so you know what i'm about" You said that crap instead of actually stating a legitemate response. it would have been easier and more prudent to simply copy/paste instead of saying "Can you smell what the Doc is cooking?" Your ego got in the way of you making sense, doc. You live in the delusion that everybody knows who you are.

But its funny. Anyone can have any opinion and have it talked about. But when ANYBODY says "bring back double infl" All the haters come out of the shadows and gang up and spout one of the 10 answers or their combinations until the topic goes away. less that 1 person acknowledges/discusses the problem Everybody else on the 10 answer/ignore the issue/ provide no workable solutions bangwagon. THAT amount of troll hate is odd, don't you think.. or should I say... "Conspicuous amount of troll hate is conspicuous ."

/jranger

No. 10

I was wondering when you'd get here No.8 Where's Redlynne?

You're No.2

You are unable to help me IRL, just as you are unable to help me on the internets You validity is neither wanted nor needed. return to whence you came. and you're number 10.

I don't know who you are and what your selling and I've never read your post until now. If you know so much, why don't you argue up a way to get double infl back and fix the market instead of putzing around with me?

And if that is how I choose to play what is your point? Thanks for your answer - you are No.1 "play the way i want you to play and like it" ,but as a derivitive. so you made no.9 congrats!

That is what I would quantify as No.7 - "Just Hate from Haters" who want you to have a bad day "just cause" and disguise it as any inane level of psychobabble that is easily refuted, that is if it was ever presented on an even plane of conversation. In an open discussion, they have no better answer than "because I want it that way." A game made for people to enjoy, but made the way only they like. All the misdirecting replies have proven it. And it's a moot point because ALL the infl is created from beating enemies, and all the farmers money eventually goes to the market. Farmers don't make money to hoard it, they make money to SPEND IT. So even the farmers get 10% of their money knocked off too. And . The farmers just have less of it, so the economy line is just babble. I used to be a farmer, and I liked not having to play the ah, and I could just play the game how i wanted, and whenever I needed money for a new toon or idea, i logged into my farmer for a few days. But 10% destroyed in fees of 1 billion still leaves 900 million. All of the farmers money eventually gets destroyed in the ah, because, well, farmers make money to spend it. If they wanted more influence to disappear they could have charged for double xp, double costume costs, heck if they card about the economy, they would also start having conversions cost +1 ,+2, +3 or even double. But if they did that they would have a RIOT on their hands from all the secret Mr. Bigs out there with their fat stacks o cash. If they really wanted to dump infl out of the market, they could start selling +5 lvl boost for 50 mil. ,etc. I don't know I'm just spitballing here.

I've watched people argue this topic constantly and its always the same 12 answers, which = NONE of them address the real problem, and it just goes around and around in circles (which is what I think it's supposed to do). They are: 1. "No. We don't want you to = play the way I want you to, not the way you want, and like it. People having fun? On a free game? With no consequences to the universe at large other than having a good time for a few minutes in this terrible world? I'll put a stop to that! (I'll let you guess who those people are)." 2." It doesn't affect me, so I really don't care either way, but I still side with people taking someone else's fun away because, well it makes sense. (mostly because it's not me) so stop whining. Obviously people can't stand when they are on the losing team. You see I haven't been affect at all and I'm not whining." 3. "If it cripples someone else's efforts or fun, I am all for it. [Emperor Palpatine] Good. Gooood. I always thought that other people having fun in ways I do not approve of should be admonished." 4. "HAHA you farm? I made 2 billion dollars today with market flipping alone! You poor farmers got nerfed while fatcats still make the big bucks! Enjoy your 3 million infl fire farm runs lelz!!!" 5. "Stop whining, there are several alternative ways to make money, see? Never mind what you thought was fun and worth your time, Never mind you got robbed or had your fun stolen from you or that you aren't allowed to play the way you want, and if you do, the work has been ""MAGICALLY" made doubly hard for no provable concrete reason (see ending). Never mind that you got your arm chopped off and the man who chopped your arm off lives right across the street. Forget all that! Forget getting your arm back while it's still fresh and re-attaching it! Learn to eat with your meat-hook arm like everybody else. See? I love my meat-hook arm!" (it's called run tinplex and get merits and sell them...etc) 6. "Be happy you have a meat-hook arm to use!" (the worst people of them all). This game wasn't available for 10 years! The devs sacrificed their puppies, hair follicles, and old aunt Shirley to bring this game back from the dead! Be thankful you have electricity, running water, a meat hook hand and two real feet! Don't make the devs come back for your feet too! You're lucky we aren't all stuck in Atlas with Brawl as our only power! You need to thank the Devs right now that you have toilet paper in your house!" 7. /Jranger. Redlynne and hater squad will usually swing down out of the rafters like batman and veto anything that MIGHT bring happiness to a free pirated game and the people who might get joy from playing it a certain way and aren't adversely affecting anyone (see my end point on who REALLY is the influence problem in the game, keep reading). My question is why is it so important this person bring MISERY to those playing a free game? Why are they so No/misery based? Their every post is about saying No to something. They'd probably say no oxygen if they could, and they need that. Strange... 8. "If you don't like it then leave" people. I can't even begin to get into all the dishonest tyrannical buffoonery and egotism that is inherent in this statement. If the people who complained about thes problems had somewhere better to go, we would have already left. Also, you don't throw a way a dog for pooping on your favorite couch the first time. You hire a trainer and a upholster cleaner and you try to save it. You don't leave the dog in the street to die the minute it messes up. This tells you much about the mentality of these "then leave" people. "Leaving" is not adressing a fixable problem with something we love. That is why we are having so much discussion about it. THIS IS the players cleaning our couch and hiring a trainer. 9. "are saying you can't have fun unless you get x infl for farming?" This is a derivitive combination of No1. AND No.5 - "play the way I like to play and like it" AND "I can't believe this is your only option and you can't get with the program". So this person is shaming you if you don't like to play the game the way they want, but instead want to play the game the way you were already playing. And, they challenge you to try and obscure your legitimate point of view, by not addressing the issue and saying little more than "can't you play a different way that you don't like and like that?" 10. "make 100% sense and have no errors of any kind or i won't validate your statement." Says most people who couldn't help you out of a paper bag. Even if you were to somehow make them happy and receive "validation", you couldn't buy lint with it. Once you change their mind would they ever advocate for you? Not even under the pain of death. So why bother wasting your time? 11. People assume you are a troll, so they make fun of your statement and assume you must be joking because they are of some holier than thou intellect level that the mere fact that you brought up double inf means you don't understand the wolrd of superheroe economic affairs and must be daft. And since NO ONE can be so dumb as to not include the economics of a pirated video game in their daily viewing regimen, "You must be a troll lol.! Good one!" 12. An Overtly Troll/Silly/Insult answer in response. This is just internet trolls trying to rile you. Lotsa hate inside them, in their life, and now they have a new target for it. If only they realized I leave my feelings off when i turn on my modem. But whatever. I am not the subject matter, the argument is, and they are not participating in it. Predictable. THE PEOPLE GIVING THESE ANSWERS WOULD RATHER DO ANYTHING (even make fun of you) than provide 1 ounce of a solution to the problem. An answer WHERE everybody gets to keep what they had and things get better, not worse. Yeah it's called city of heroes but It should be called City of haters, forums of hate. What No ONE who provides ANY variety of the above 8 answers NOR the devs will Answer is the following HONEST question (because It will prove the "honesty" of thier intentions): -------------------------------------------------------------- WHY is farming for 3 hours and making 250 million dollars MORE of a "big hit" on the economy THAN flipping enhancements at the Auction house and making 1 Billion dollars every 2 days? And for your information, I've done both. Farming 1 hour = 60-100 million infl in 3 days = 300 million Auction house flipping 1 hour = 300-750 million in 3 days = 1.5 billion ---------------------------------------------------------------- Even on its best day farming CAN'T HOLD A CANDLE TO AH FLIPPING. But its just so boring. I came to play city of heroes, not city of flippers. But I HAD to START flipping on the AH after farming got nerfed, because i couldn't stand farming and earning 2/3rds the money i did before. And I couldn't fun alts working 2x the hours either for the same infl. That was personal, un-empathetic, not honest, and backed by obfuscating garbage. it was almost as bad when they nerfed my regen scrapper back in 2004 and I quit the game until villains came out. Nobody is asking for these nerfs, But you will always have sycophants and Redylnnes and "your lucky we even have coh" people lined up to smooch some dev behind. Now I'm not good at math. But IT IS OBVIOUS that Auction house flipping makes way more money. But Only farming was nerfed, and ruined some peoples game play. I used to like to farm, but I HATE to day trade. So really, WHY the farming nerf again? Because It ain't about the economy, or the exploits. I'm not even calling for devs to nerf the AH. Let people make inf and play how they will. The world is f'd up enough. Now my escape world gotta have problems too? Try again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reinstate double inf after 50 so people could have some fun. THE WAY THEY WANT TO. Remove all patrol xp if you have to. Nobody uses that. --------------------------------------------------------------------- I reserve the space below this post for the Hater Squad. If you guys could just choose the number above that matches your generic repost answer, that'd be great. If you can't or don't, don't worry i'll label your generic canned answers for you. And if you so freaking smart, fix the problem smartie, and stop hating!

Please add this sound to the guide - Blaster Secondary Reaction time (its the same sound as Time's Juncture, but must be a different file name) sound\ogg\powers\Spiral_loop.ogg

I am playing a troller atm and want to bind movement to my heal, but I don't want to hear the recharging sound spam. Anyone know how I can do this?

Why do mercs put a way the only weapon they are ever going to use? How about no redraw also? This isn't even about mercs damage. But it'll help. Also, mercs soldiers burst noise. sounds like a team of dinosaur sized woodpeckers going at it. Change it to the mm version? Lower the volume of the burst relative to the game? I played mercs today till lvl 14 and besides the erosion damage, I was wondering why I was getting a headache. Answer:I got a team of giant woodpeckers going off every 3 seconds for hours at a time. Then I muted the sound. Paradise. Yes I know you can edit sound files. I have successfully done so in the past and tried with the merc machgunburst file and did not succeed, If you want me to mod the file, then tell me the correct way, it is not machgunburst.

I got you fam. One already exists. Open up LFG. Click "lock the event for your group" on the bottom right (yes, it's just you) Got to Taskforce>Time's Arrow>click the button. Then Click Que. when the prompt appears, que and accept. Shazam! You're in Cimmaron ----------------------- In a forum of Naysayers, those who go silent when someone needs help, but wake up at 5am to disagree with and nitpick everything they didn't type, them what can't wait to contradict, downvote, and belittle the posts of anyone who does not like everything about the game as it, AND admonish anyone who does not have an encyclopedic textbook developer level knowledge of the game regarding every little thing "because they know it", and all things related to the game, The Captain helps.

Why so crafters can craft faster - probably double the auction house listings in a week. I know I don't craft cause its a pain in the butt. I have a farmer right now with 80 purple recipes on him that I don't need. Will they get made?Only if lady luck fills my salvages the right way. And that's the problem. Whom, what, or why would it hurt to have, i don't know? 1000-unlimited salvages spots per toon. Let's safety cap at 500. Its not game breaking, as there is no hoarding, since the game seed materials. This is just pure "don't have to fish around 5 baskets, my toon and the ah to find one thing, or buy one piece at a time in the ah" thing. I could see the computer being overloaded for salvage requests if each toon on the acitve server had 1000 per se, but waht about bases? How about a "lab storage crafting table" in base that allows you to store some salvage and craft from whats inside. Less salvage requests coming from bases. how about just hooking the crafting storage in bases to the crafting table in bases? (thy;res your 500 spots right there, and they are in a base for less requests). Just ideas and questions.
