    Discussion: Disabling XP No Longer Increases Influence

    Let's just let it go,.....let it go........

     

    Homecoming is Jimmy and his crew's world and they are going to do whatever they want.

     

    Here is a little isolation humor for everyone

     

    Copied....
    I just saw a news report about the stresses and strains of self-isolation. It reported that people are going crazy from being in lockdown! It was strange, actually, because I had just been talking about this with the microwave and toaster and all of us agreed that things are getting worse. I didn't mention anything to the washing machine as she always has to put a different spin on everything, and certainly not to the fridge as he is acting cold and distant. In the end, the iron calmed me down. She said everything will be fine, which surprised me because she’s usually the first one to apply unnecessary pressure and get steamed up over nothing !!! I think she might have been sneaking off to the medicine cabinet.

    It’s not a niche that I ever used, personally, since I couldn’t understand why anyone would pay up for that service.  But assuming a 30mm sell price (27 after taxes), minus cost of catalyst and unslotter (not sure what catalysts go for, but call it 3-4mm), if you bought the regular WO at 20mm, that’s only a few mm profit for your efforts.  I’d much rather convert 10 yellow IOS for 10x the profit.  Volume!

    I'm not saying I am going to do it. Although I have almost 100 in storage of Winter and Archetype ATO's. I'm amused that it just dawned on me how it was done.

    not happy about the change. it would have been better to disable patrol xp.  i do farm a lot and i also pay a lot for my kids chars. they are both altaholics and waste so much inf and tbh its hard to keep up even with farming  but hey ho thats our thing and we enjoy making new chars and builds. i used to let others join in and have fun with them whilst farming but now it drops the inf too much i do it alone only now. solo and sad.

    Yep I get this and agree. I do it for my wife as well.

    Somewhere between video game and real life, a different POV for the person, to whom my comment was directed, may or may not help them release whatever feeling they have inside.

     

    I did not intend to make assumptions on your life, even if you read my comment to him, as a comment to you.

    I didn't and I'm not. I'm just saying there could easily be someone in this thread who is suffering in real life.

    Now I would agree that this nerf or exploit fix whatever we call isn't causing any real life suffering.

    As long as XP in AE isn't lowered, I'm good with almost any change. I use it to powerlevel, it's an inefficient way to make influence.

    It may well be inefficient to gaining influence vs playing the market. I'd rather gain it by burning up enemies but thats me. It relieves stress from my daily life and I don't have to team up when I don't want to. The only change I can see this making for me as I craft / convert most of my drops and almost have a full 18 tables of IO's 1 being Purples and 2 being IO's from Super and Winter Packs. Is I'll start a second SG for more storage and be less likely to drop influence when I see some lowbie with a cool costume.

     

    I played on live for 8 years and only farmed the Demon map for the last 6 months so I played the game. I have nerve damage in my hands that makes teaming harder than it used to be so farming is my fun. The rewards for me were garnering influence and seeing purples drop simple as that. I barely have to spend anything to kit out a toon and that will continue.

     

    The bottom line is I'm glad the game is back and I'm thankful to the Dev's for that. I backed CoT and to be honest so far I just don't see myself ever really playing it instead of CoH.

    I think this was an outstanding update with the exception of this nerf. I don't have to like it and I don't.

    This isn't the case. We want to encourage all playstyles, rather than farming being a necessity. We covered this in our open letter all the way back in May of last year.

     

    In brief: Our goal is for all playstyles be valid, worthwhile and enjoyable. That's what we're working towards.

    You can't polish a turd and call it  a diamond Jimmy. You could have addressed the exploit alone. Instead you went for the Nuclear option.
