  1. Fair enough, but I'm glad Faultline's fixing it to make it better for 45+ and considering options for lower. Really the distinction is between what's idk, 'ontologically impossible' and what's only practically impossible (i.e. 50 hami at 35 vs. 50 hami at 45). So the extra work put in to scale it is nice given that the whole concern was for folks doing it not knowing that the TF needs a 50 star holder.
  2. not confusing it, rsf doesn't need anything other than level 45 anymore
  3. All I'm saying is this change would drastically change the way I play on every future character. I didn't say to ignore other examples, I just don't like them. Do I really have to justify not liking things? It's personal preference. I'm not saying don't fix the problem, I'm just asking that if there's some way to fix the problem without cutting off LG to 45+ we go with that instead.
  4. GVT questioning level gating in general to argue against raising LG is hardly the slippery slope, especially since it was last week, not for the last 2 years. But fine, yes, lower it all. I wanna solo queue LRSF from the tutorial. And naturally, I feel entitled to such and would like to speak to a manager 😄
  5. It's been 35+ for the entire time HC's been running. Where are all these calls for it to be lower than that?
  6. Plant's beast with anything but the aura synergy with ice or fire would probably pull me toward one of those.
  7. If I'm the one forming I'd be on a 50 and have the holds taken care of with myself or a friend before LFG would even hear about it. So I'd not particularly care what they're bringing. Of course mine are sort of self-selecting cuz my attention span only ever has me doing speed runs. But that's all kinda off topic for this thread anyway, sorry.
  8. That's just not true anymore. When the TF was introduced there were no attuned IOs. Now my level 35 toons can outperform a 50 who's only SO'd on an LG. And frankly I'd take a 35 who knows the TF over a 50 who doesn't any day.
  9. Sounds like a nice idea. I'd like it even better if one of the powers would accept pet damage sets that could serve as a mule for the uniques. The MM sets without an extra power that can take those are really tough to build since the introduction of ATOs.
  10. @Faultline Would it be possible to make LG not offer the TF to anyone unless introduced as a contact? She could be introduced by Levantera to level 45 members of Vanguard or pop automatically at 45 like Maria Jenkins does?
  11. Perhaps an "Impressed Lady Grey" badge that awards when both level 45 and a member of Vanguard that allows you to start LG?
  12. I meant different conditions for starting/joining like the morty/katie/hess unlocks, not specifically a level difference. The only level specific example I'm aware of is with ouro where you have to be at the max range for the arcs to pop up but you can join at the minimum range. Was just thinking there might be a way to flag level in the same way as badge for star holder but I'm not a computers, much less familiar with CoH code so no idea if actually doable. Maybe have Lady Grey give the "you're not high enough" dialogue up to 45 but have the member check be 35? Again, no idea how those work. I'd think a pop-up warning about the difficulty could work as well. Really if we're concerned about people unfamiliar with the TF failing at hami a warning about the need for adequate holds wouldn't be amiss, either. I get it if cutting it off is the way y'all end up dealing with the issue, just wanted to ask for something else since it'd really affect my play on every future character.
  13. Mr. Vee

    Solo Numina?

    Jurassik is no problem unless you've got quartzes and cairns nearby. I'd take out the surrounding DE first.
  14. Y'all are gonna stand there and try to tell me this game has a story? Preposterous! Next you'll tell me there's music. You listed 35+ when the issue is 35-45. I think the only one I left off was Eden, which is both terrible and lousy exp. Also RSF no longer requires an unlock, only Morty and it only a quick tip mish. Oh and ITF but that hardly counts since Night Ward was introduced.
  15. It was changed, intention of issue 10 devs is irrelevant to what it is now. I've said my piece and I'm tired of arguing this.
  16. I'm not saying don't fix it, I'm asking that it be fixed in a way that doesn't cut it back off for the 35-45 range. I would think the best solution would be to make it 35+ but the star holder must be 45+. There are already several things in the game where different conditions apply for star and joining. That wouldn't completely solve the problem as well as making hami scale completely would, as there might be occasional cases where the star disconnects and no one else is 50, but it'd be better and wouldn't be cutting off a leg to save a toe.
  17. Yes, there are plenty of TFs in that range. Of those most are terrible (shards, sutter), lousy exp (numina, treespec), tough to fill regularly (a.sewer, mistral, freakspec) or all of the above. LG is good, doesn't take long, and is generally pretty easy to get folks to agree to. In that range I generally end up running ITF, Morty, LG, Manti (which I'm already tired of from the 30-35 days), and then add market crash to the mix at 40. But my personal preferences aside, I don't see any reason that taking it back to 35 is the only way to fix this. There have been several solutions suggested up thread. It seems like the main reason is "it was 45 on live." Well that's just another in the long list of things that sucked on live compared to HC. And as long as we're doing the slippery slope fallacy with level 2 incarnate trials why don't we just roll back the recipe bucketing because a newb might pay 20 million for a miracle unique - it wasn't that way on live after all 🤪
  18. i'm well aware of what's in the range (i hate 6 of the ones you mentioned btw and the red stuff in that range is tough to fill). the point is LG is a good one in that range now that won't be soon. Idk why you're so opposed to a solution that'd keep more people happy as opposed to just locking it down.
  19. Please rethink this part. I run LG a ton from 35-45 and it's a good alternative to yet another ITF. At 45 there's plenty added to the mix. Taking LG out makes 35-45 a worse slog for we TF types than 30-35 already was. There has to be a better way of dealing with the problem of people occasionally starting it with a lowbie star holder.
  20. Some of us only like to TF, not farm or run PI radios or solo arc stuff. Lady grey was an option other than ITF that gave good exp and that you could actually fill quickly. And who's to say we're all coasting just because we're lowbies? I've been on several with lowbies where I was the one letting the hostages loose and tp'ing folks around. This is taking away an option. It's fine that you don't play that way and so don't care, but I do, and I do.
  21. We've done just fine with it 35+ for 2 years. I'd be happy to run LRSF/Kahn etc on a 35, sure, but I know what kind of responses that'd get in the suggestions forum. ITF over and over from 35-45 gets boring as hell. LG relieved that some.
  22. It kills me that I'm losing something fun to do from 35-45 just because some folks are worried that someone might fail a tf. Especially when half the threads on the forums are about how easy the game is and there are plenty wanting more tf content too. This is a terrible 'resolution'.
  23. Despite how it's spelled it's actually pronounced "Throatwarbler Mangrove".
