I'm just playing the odds, really. I am willing to bet my very life that more people know how to get to Positron Task Force who has played to 50 than people who do not. I mean, there truly are tell tale signs of when somebody was PLed to 50, it's truly not hard to figure out. Even if all somebody did was paper/radio missions, there would be evidence of that. And that is about the simplest way anyone can get to 50 and achieve the smallest amount of badges. I do get where you are coming from and I pick up the point you are trying to make, I am just saying that players who don't know how to get to Posi aren't usually ignorant for the reasons you give, and people give those reasons a lot as if it excuses every instance of PL ignorance. You make a valid point and I recognize that and even consider that before judging a player for being clueless, I do try to be as logical as possible...or at least as logical as I can make possible, heh.

Considering that Positron Task Force is literally a requirement to get the most common Accolade in game and considering this guy had no badges what-so-ever that people typically get just from playing the game while clueless, told me everything I needed to know to conclude that he was a PLed 50. Tell me, what is more common, somebody like you who played for years not knowing about how to get to ITF, or somebody who was knew to the game, got PLed, and has no clue how to get to Positron? I think you are using a very rare example in order to excuse a very common problem.

If memory serves me correctly, when the Devs gave Living Shadows a -Knock Back mechanic, I seem to recall them saying that Crushing Field (Gravity) and Chain Fences (Elec) was next on their list. Can anyone else remember the Devs saying something about this? And if so, can anyone recall what time frame (if any) was given for a roll out for this patch?

That mod has actually been updated. I think you'll love the changes. Just uninstall the old mod and pick up the newest version. 😉

Yeah? I'll bet they are less likely to ask where to go to run the Position Task Force though. Literally had a power leveled 50, ask me where he needed to go to join my team for Posi yesterday. All I could do was face palm.

I hate that Doms can Hold a Boss with a single application, especially because they can get perma Dom. Controllers are just SoL and it takes two applications to do the same thing. Which got me to thinking, if I could hit a Boss with a Hold, then immediately hit them with Detention Field until my Hold is ready to fire off again, drop Det Field and then apply the second Hold, that basically allows me to lock down a Boss immediately rather than waiting on a Hold to recharge before doing so. However, this thinking only works if Detention Field is a Toggle and not a Click. I do not wish to make him invincible while waiting for the timer on Detention Field to end. Can anyone help with this? Never mind, figured it out. Not happy with the results, but figured it out, heh.

@Bill Z Bubba Seen your confused face, thought maybe this would help. 🤣

Oh yeah? Well I /jranger your /jranger, quitsies no antiquitsies no startsies, triple stamped it no erasies touch blue make it true!

I wouldn't mind finding a group of people like this, add a little something different to my gameplay experience.

Honestly, I might have to do the same. Sounds like a good idea.

I can see that on Everlasting. I play on Excelsior myself. Now that doesn't mean it never happens mind you, I'm sure it does, i simply never seeit being advertised personally is all.

Why did I even respond to this? This is a dead horse and has been risen from the grave.

Melodramatic, maybe. But considering that people make these missions strictly for farming and nothing else, I would say the term exploit is accurate. No reason to sugar coat what it is, it's not like the Devs give a damn anyway, so calling it what it truly is will hardly draw any negative attention to it from the Development team. That's just my opinion.

I see this used a lot in defense of AE. However, I would give my left (enter sexual organ here) to see a chart on just how many people actually use it for the content and how many people exploit the hell out of it to Power Level. I can say this much, I have yet to see anyone in LFG chat request to build or join a team for AE story content, all I ever see is "hitters sitters blah blah blah."

If memory serves me correctly, its original design was no XP. It was missions only. I could be wrong, but this is how I am remembering it. If memory serves me further, the reason for that was to prevent people from exploiting it for Power Leveling...something of which has always been looked down upon by the original Devs.

I'm not even going to get in to all the reasons why this is the best idea known to mankind since the invention of the wheel. /100%

I wish like hell that I had finished college. I actually went to college for computer science. Fairly certain coding would have eventually been a course or two. Had I finished college instead of just my prerequisites, I would have built a pre i5 (with all the goodies of today) server by now, if nothing else but for my own pleasure. That means no aggro limit, all ambush mobs back in place, collision mechanics reversed back to a point where we don't bump each other all over the place when we go near each other and my own little addition, I would give all NPCs across the board a resistance/defense/health pool adjustments for longer standing power. Sadly my knowledge of code is at a very basic level and I simply do not have the know-how to do so. 😞

Ever lose your influence/infamy? Can't remember out of the millions of characters that you have which one of them you left all that cash on? Well, I sure as hell have, on many occasions. Sure, we can email it to ourselves and leave it there; I do practice this believe it or not; when I can remember...but I'm not perfect and damn it, I am getting old, my memory is getting old, even the flatulence from my backside is starting to smell old. In fact, I forget to email myself all that cash all the damn time. Call it screaming kids, call it nagging GF, call it, "Oops, I'm late for work!" if you like, but I sure as hell am very guilty of leaving my cash on a character, logging in a week later and can't remember for the life of me where I left that cash. Then of course I am left to trying to figure out which character I played last just to see I had logged in 12 different characters that day....sigh...good grief! Let the endless logins and logouts commence until I find the right one! So how about we get something that shows us how much Influence/Infamy we have on each character from the character select screen? Sure would be one hell of a QoL addition to the game if you ask me.

What's more disturbing is that he is in a room....with bunk beds. 0.o The5 O'clock shadow tells me he might be a bit old for bunk beds. Still living with mommy I would assume.

It sure didn't do much for this kid, lol.

You're just mad because you are at the lowly 800's. Scurry off, newb! 😄

I wouldn't want that either to be honest, it was a satire post. Hell, if a forum purge were to happen, I am sure my ass would take a good blunt of the purging, lol.

Just like the movie The Purge. One day out of each year, we can say whatever the hell we want to say to each other with zero moderation, and it stays for life. P.S. Merry Christmas! 😈

Who is Bill Z Bubbles?

Fair enough. Shaking hands on it. 🙂
