Its looking like we should pl to 50 and go back and do the tfs later. Back to AE to level.

The wst wasnt a lvl 50 tf. synapse and moonfire, neither are ever gonna be hm. but you have to be level 50 to get the reward that they said anyone could get? by running the wst. evidently not.

well then its a good thing that you dont use costumes till 50. That is a glaring mistake. we have to run on 50's to get the good reward? Looks like running tfs is not a good way to level anymore.

I did moonfire TF wst last night and got no prismatics. bug? who knows?

Dr.Aeon TF is 30. at 24 million(just checked everlasting. they go for 24.1 million each) each member of the team gets 30. Im not conflating anything. 30 prismatics times 24 million is 720 million. at least in the math I learned. EVERY runner that does the complete TF will get 30. I dont know how you farm 720 million in less than 2 hours, I have never managed anything even remotely close to that. and that is every one that completes it, not one outlier farmer. With the multiple "bugs" that they have found to reduce farming, its even less likely to happen. 1 player farming vs 1 player on an ATF getting 720 million + any other inf/recipe/merit drops they get. Not in the same ballpark.

your math is a hair off. 1 prismatic = 24 million 30 prismatic = 720 million. for a hour and a half effort. I dont know where you farm, but no farmer is getting more than a tiny fraction of that. add in all the other rewards they get, they are pushing a billion per run, with no rng. 8 players getting that every hour and a half to 2 hours. please name the server where prismatics go for 3 or 4 million each.

240 million as becoming more affordable? for 1 characters costume? how many billions have the hm players set aside so far? this isnt an inf drain.

people have been requesting this for years. Shifting 8 BILLION inf with every TF complete is not "cosmetic". If the economy is so damn important to nerf other playstyles, why does this get a pass? Oh, its the devs preferred play style. got it.

then wtf was up with the "important" nerfs to AE farming? The same white knights championing those nerfs are here telling us that this is great.

The people on the first day got 100 million each. x 30. everlasting was 24 million a few days ago. x 30 for an ATF. 720 million for 1 run. add in all the other rewards and its well over a billion. you can do this every day. BOOM economy shafted. hm runners can store 48000000000 inf in their salvage trays. you want us to farm at a nerfed rate to make them richer? How much rewards do they need to pile on before its enough to get people to try the tf? If you have to tie a porkchop around a kids neck to get the dog to play with them, you might have a problem.

you want to be playing wow, not city of heroes. They are set up exactly like you want. the devs should change the name to city of heroes HM. COH has NEVER been a game about gatekeeping the lesser players to the cheap seats. This is all about changing to City of Hardcore.

Part of the problem is that the devs just shifted the entire game economy. When you can get close to a billion inf for doing one 4 star TF there is a problem. they just crowned the new kings of inf. It certainly looks like they have a heavily favored activity. By the time they "datamine" if they chose to do it, the game will be tilted in that groups favor. we were told that farmers having too much inf was "bad" a few months ago. Looks like thats not actually the case.

would corrupter who go hand to hand be called cra........nvm, I will just go outside and meditate....

Thats not the point. I like it too. but I have over 80 characters that need to repec because the powers that I took dont do what I took them for and the powers I didnt take do exactly what I need. Thats a LOT of power bars to reshuffle and it makes my head hurt. If I could do a 2 power switch, it would take 5 min.

you are trolling. Insulting your players is not generally considered a good thing.

so you are saying the complaint about farming were false? good to know. and buying them? 24 million each? HM tfs blow even marketting out of the water as the absolute by a mile best place to earn rewards. why play anything else? earn any where...2% chance is not a viable way of getting them.

what can you get farming that you cant get anywhere else? Didnt they just nerf farming so it wouldnt be the "one stop shop"? They just shoveled billions of inf and loads of merits to hm tfs. It kinda blows out of the water any ide of one avenue of play being as rewarding as any other. A wst dropping 1 damn particle? that was only put there so you could parrot the line that you can get them everywhere. Just like that lone contaminated in recluses victory.

another forced respec...concealment pool. I took the concealment pool, didnt take stealth, took invisibility. they change it. and all of a sudden I dont have the ability to be invisible. I just have what used to be stealth. The ability I NEVER took. have to respec to bring back the functionality I had. Dont get me wrong, I like to have invisibility without having a wasted choice. but having to repec, yup I do. And yes, there was a reason to play a controller....they were fun. And I have never ever ever ever had a blaster give me speed boost.

So now the one stop shop for all rewards is a couple of hard mode TFs. Great balancing move.

they need to raise the wst reward to 5 pieces. one is a stupidly low level for an item that was to appeal to casuals and rp'rs. I will not be doing 3 or 4 star raids ever. this kind of gating is why I left wow in the first place. the pitiful drops outside of HM content are just like the single contaminated that spawns in the train station of RV. It was a way for the devs to claim they didnt screw you, when they knew perfectly well they did.

The concern I have is the appearance of driving the game to be like wow. all good rewards for HM activities only. Being able to buy them helps with this some.

There can be no constructive criticism when the change is decided and programmed before anyone outside the core group even knows that anything is happening. saying its a shit change is in its own way criticism. Of course there are much better ways of saying it, no question about that. If I tell you I am cooking lima bean casserole for dinner, does it have enough salt? telling me you hate lima beans is a valid comment. We dont know if everything nice from now on will be locked behind hard modes, kind of like wow and mythic plus.

one issue here. the gms enforced the "focused feedback" they only wanted to know, does it work? there was no discussion on whether we wanted or needed the changes in the first place. there was zero discussion, transparency, or the promised dev diaries. So there is room for people to ask WTF?

Thats obvious..the server that I am on.

I propose you stop telling others how to play. Is there some deep inner need to mess with others entertainment?
