No. I still don't see why they should get accolades for nothing. Or, if they do, are PVP recipes gonna suddenly become non-pvp, giving 12 bonus stats in pve? It is basically the same thing.

Don't forget the quest for Perma Haten' too!

Ok so base tp is going...but. In that case, can we update (or at least CONSIDER) updating some of the more annoying TFS in the game? WHich are usually blueside. I just duo'd Numi in 50 mins..which is far and away faster than a lot of full teams I have been on, simply because we could bounce around the zones. That hunt section is a completen and utter PoS, and a relic from the early stages of the game. It isnt fun, it isnt a challenge,m it is 100% a time sink. Same as Citadel and the missions at both ends of IP, teh Boomtown mission of Syn etc etc. Of course the argument can be made that with ATT and TT, these arent so bad. And that is true. But not every team has those. Naturally updating the TFs would take a lot of time, but in the interests of making them suck less (especially for new players. How many new players are gonna want to go NEAR a tf after doing Synapse?), how about a temp task Force power (like teh jetpack in posi) that lets you TT a few times? That wouldn't be a 'win' button in any part of the game besides that tf, and make them only usuable in zones, to prevent insta escape from death during master runs.

I like this idea! A team +rech one would be great also.

This is true..but a lot of sets have 9 mostly good or better powers..or ones that work just fine with teh base slot (like kinetics with IR and the 2 siphons)

Mac: 1. I wasn't saying the redside ones were harder, I totally agree most are easier to get! I was just saying that ONLY redside ones need pvp badges. That 5 hours in Sirens Call one used to be a BIG pain to get on Freedom, cause there was nearly always some tping fool who would true pull you out, even if camped in the base. 2. Also, not saying that auto pvp accolades effect anyone who doesnt pvp. But getting those great powers for NOTHING? For nothing. Come on. There has also been a free threads on auto granting pve accos to new toons, after One toon on said account has them unlocked. Which yeah..would be nice. But also getting a lot for nothing. Getting those accos can be a grind, but to me, only a few parts of them (fake nems, synapse) ARE actually a grind. The rest I can do, mostly while doing 'normal' stuff that I have fun with. I am genuinely sorry to hear that the rest of pve is a grind to you, considering how shafted pvp gets but sadly that is the way of things.

ANd why is skipping a pool a bad thing? The fighting pool is ok for what it does, but needing to take a crappy attack to get anything good from it, seriously limits the use. I am suggesting that Scorp is AS flexible as the only only Def based epic shield, in what kinda IOs it can take. Check your facts. It has some toxic Resist.

To be honest these accolades are all Villain side..and just goes on that list of 'stupidly baised towards blueside' crap. I mean crap BECAUSE it is true. I totally agree those accolades should have been changed forever ago, dead pvp zones or no. Auto granting them in pvp? That seems..unfair. So you pvp, but dont WANT to pve, but hey, you can just go ahead and have these super handy accolade powers..just cause. Does that also then mean, if you really really wanna pvp, you HAVE to earn those 50 levels in a pvp zone? Stands to reason. Although, since the lowest pvp zone is 15? 20?, good luck with that! Or what about alll those enhancements you basically need to have a competative build? That's right, you cant earn them in pve anymore, since you only want to pvp. Have fun farming then in pvp zones, with pvp 'rules' nerfing half your powers. Ok, I admit, I am being silly, but that point stands..getting auto accolades just because you want to pvp is wrong. It would make sense, at least to me, to simply have them obtainable via pvp zones, so those who love it can spend more time doing what they enjoy.

He was asking that? Either it was not very clear..or I totally missed it. lol. Even if all the 'required; Accolades for pvp (4+ attribute, 2 click powers) were change to be earnable (is that a word? it is now) from a pvp zone...that would STILL really only matter to the pvp crowd anyway. Some of those accos have grindy/annoying bits (100 fake nems for example, needing to DO bloody snyapse), and placing those in pvp zones wcould be worse. 100 Fake Nems becomes 100 Toxix Tarts, IN a pvp zone. Yeah, gonna be fun. DimWarder needs ALL the sig heroes + villains (which still isnt 14) in RV. Having done that a few times, I know it can take agees, even longer in the other side gets in the way. I cant see that bring a heap of new people into pvp.

That is EXACTLY what I mean. Make the +res enhanceable so it can take Resist Sets.

I would LOVE, love, utterly love that to happen in Fire Farms..for no other reason than thinking farmers should die..It would be hilarious if they dived into a mob, the mob goes 'oh shit, we have fire attacks, he is fire armour, blow this for a lark!' and all just headed for the hills.

Frozen Armour and Scorpion shield are basically the same values, S/L def and either energy or cold resist. As teh ONLY +def epic/patron shields we can get, I much prefer SS, for the name and the awesome purple color. However.. Frozen Armour can take resist sets, because for some reason the +resist portion is enhanceable, even though I cant imagine many people wasting slots on that stat. This means the power can take the 2 +def uniques (and other +res goodies), making it a clear winning. Can we please get ScopShield able to slot the same? Make the +res enhanceable so it can take Resist Sets.

A few times today, I joined hero teams with a Rogue, and got 'kicked' from the team when using my base. The same thing doesnt happen when on a TF (did that today also), cause I assume it 'locks' teh team in some way. I am not 100% sure, but I dont recall this happening a week ago. With the way bases work now (hero and vills can get in), is there any way we can get rid of the wrong alignment auto kicking?

I agree with this. I was soloing Tarikoss SF on my MM. Infernal could hardly hurt me, but kept running away, making the fight take sooo long. It wasn't in any way moer challenging, just tiresome. a Hero class enemy shouldnt run from a single enemy.

The trouble with a free market is how stupidly GOOD farming is at making money..compared to anything else. Even a good lvl 50 incarnate team wont make as much as the hardcore farmer, fighting mobs of bosses, with the extra (so it seems) chances for great recipes vs the same bosses, bringing in even more money. That leads to big variations in what people are gonna be able and willing to pay. A friend of mine farms, and is totally cool with paying 5-10 per recipe for builds. That is for basically any 'good' IO set. Secondly, with enhancement converters, the 2nd tier IO sets, which are usually very good and desirable, end up getting snapped up by those same farmers, who can afford to pay way more than other people. Look at how cheap things like DocWounds and RedFortunes were on Live, before converters. You could get a full set of both for maybe 50k, if that. Now..quite often none will even be listed.

But what WOULD they be? All the current accolades work just fine in pvp (mostly). Having pvp only accolades would just serve to widen the gap between the hardcore 'Io'd to the gills with purps and pvp set' crowd, and the rest. Although Id hazard a guess there is a lot less casual pvping now, compared to Live. ANd if the only worked in pvp..that is even less incentive for casual players to actually go out and get them (assuming they were earned via pvp?).

Just curious..how does it get exploited on MO runs? All it does is let you finish a tf faster. I mean, if that is an issue, disable travels/Ios on MO runs. Or do you mean able to zap to base instant if you are in danger of dying?

Does anyone know the cooldown on Self Destruction? Cause that power is cheaaap. And Using it in mission, rez in base and then tping around is almost the same. Well kinda. Although I do recall it have a longish animation.

Why do you always come off as a Richard? 5 mins was CLEARLY an exaggeration. Just saying. How is a base tp power an 'i win'? Exactly what is being won? Go on..I will wait as you come up with a super smart reply. Oh that's right..its just saving time. Not winning at all. No doubt you, having found out about the base tp macro, never used it. Not once. Cause you are clearly to awesome to save some time.

Also..the Praetorian..what are they called..COmmanders? With teh TWO miniguns on their back. SOmething like that would be awesome, combining ranged and close blasts.

But..why? Instant base travel is simply awesome. It means MORE time playing, less traveling. The game is City of Heroes..not city of running across ****ing IP for 5 mins.

Noticed this already. Lancer CAN and does spread Dis by itself, even when the target hit is not suffering from Disintergration.

Just saw the new patch notes, with the snipe changes AND not Int in devices..again..why do we have it in any powers?

I love those DOm changes. ALso, totally claiming (even if it aint true) to have coined that Energy Focus buff in Energy Assault! Total Focus going from 3.6 to 2.5 secs is totally amazing..any chance on doing the same for Energy Melee/EnMap for melee and blasters? ESPECIALLY energy melee. With Devices losing teh Int from trip mine, any change Traps can get the same? And that Interupts as a whole can just..vanish? Also..Tremor, on Brutes/tanks. As well as Hurl. Tremor is just an AWFUL aoe. So slow, stupidly tiny damage, LESS than FootStomp (also a tier9 atatck, and FS gets Rage).

Totally forgot that TP is interruptible! But considering that is nearly always used to travel or tp people to safe places.. Steampunkette..I agree the 'theme' of interrupting is pretty cool. But given how FEW powers use it..Snipes, AS (CAN you slot int into AS? Pretty sure you cant, which just makes it a normal attack you can 'stop,' the pool heals (which as I said in another thread, are pretty crap as it is) and teleport...see above. A theme that covers a whole 6 powers, being generous, is not much of a theme! That is less than an entire Powerset.
