Solarverse

Yeah, I only have the hit rolls showing in my combat tab, I have turned everything else off, so I never noticed it.

What? I never laughed at you. What are you going on about? You said... I seem to remember taking people to tf range before the sidekick stuff came in not being nearly as fast as what I can accomplish in ae with multiple accounts in this day and age To which I replied... Yeah, me and Bill Z Bubba had a convo about that and covered that, check it out. I was referring to this post and the conversation between Bill Z Bubba and I before this post... Then you at some point said... I seem to remember taking people to tf range before the sidekick stuff came in not being nearly as fast as what I can accomplish in ae with multiple accounts in this day and age Which brings us back to square one. I am not sure how you see that as me laughing at you or not understanding or misinterpreting what you said. I answered and replied to your statement in which you indicate that I am unaware that perhaps it is true that today's PLing systems is faster than the old way, all things considered, taking in to account the double xp of today which we did not have then and taking in to account that it can be done without padding the team. So again, I am not sure what you are going on about. I think you need to relax a bit, man. I am not your enemy here.

Man...I can't talk to you when you have completely taken what I said and misinterpreted it. I suggest you read my edit in this post and get back with me. You are far too defensive for me to converse with right now until you realize where my view point is. Right now you are coming at me with the idea that I have some intentions on taking away power leveling...which even if I were, that would be a joke because I simply do not hold that kind of influence...if I hold any influence at all, which is highly doubtful.

bragger... 😞

Hell, honestly, this is the first time I have heard of Streakbreaker. When did that come out?

Yeah, me and Bill Z Bubba had a convo about that and covered that, check it out.

Honestly, I think that would be bad ass and a one of a kind. I don't think that any other game has tried that.

Love that idea! Or even a cloud of Dark Smoke.

I didn't think anyone would see it the way you do. I see it and felt there was a mistake made that should be fixed. So that's good to know.

I remember speaking with one of the Devs of WeHaveCake about a year ago I think...maybe not that long ago, my sense of time is horrible, however, if memory serves me correctly, he was saying that the cost of their server was dirt cheap...even less than 165 as mentioned above. I just remember how cheap exactly. However, I don't even want to consider that for as long as Homecoming is up and running. I have grown very fond of this server and the people in it. Including some of the Devs here.

I agree with this 100%. However, please understand (I keep repeating myself here but people seem to keep skipping those posts and are still not understanding) that I am not trying to take anything away from anybody...not now, not ever.

Same here. That is way above my pay grade, lol.

Look, ladies and gentlemen. Let me just make clear my intentions here before somebody has a chance to place intentions on me before I made them clear on my own. I am not telling people to stop PLing. I am not telling people that farming is bad, I am not even telling people that if they farm, they are doing it the wrong way. All I am saying, is that if you are getting bored with the game, try playing low level content with an alt or two and enjoy a pug here and there. Trust me, if I start getting bored with the game, that is when I will unleash all of my 50's and start playing the end game content like crazy. I plan to switch back and forth. But right now for me, I am nowhere near bored with the game yet. This is why I had to place Jubakumbi on ignore, because I can't argue with somebody who places intent on me instead of asking me what my intent is. I can't stand when people do that. So much so that I myself am careful not to do that myself as not to be a hypocrite. So, if anyone is curious as to what my motivations are here, please read the bold face line. 😉

Happens to me all the time, man. I don't think that is what he was doing though, I think he was simply trying to answer your question. Trust me, this is a heated topic and we can all do well to try and not take each other wrong and try to take each other face value. Most of us here respect each other and I would like to see all of us walk away respecting each other. It may be a hot topic, but it does not have to make or break us.

Well, obviously lower levels consist of way more than just Frostfire. I alt like crazy and I still have not done all low level content. But it doesn't matter. Nobody seems to think that maybe I have a point, even though my personal experience says otherwise. What I have personally witnessed reflects what I have written on this thread. So I stand by what I said. Sure, there are many contributing factors as to population loss, however, I won't be one to bury my head in the sand and pretend like what I wrote is not one of them. So it's an agree to disagree thing here for me. However, apparently I am not allowed to have my opinion without people feeling like I am somehow telling others that they can't play that way, or they are playing wrong, or whatever. Even if my opinion is based on personal experience and has nothing to do with trying to control how others play. But, that is how some people want to take it anyway, so....there is that, lol.

I'm with you on this one. After this discussion, I think it would be safer to have something like that *just in case.*

Why doesn't it? Content 1-49, let's say (just a random number) there are 10 missions per level. That would be 490 missions. Now you have skipped all those missions and now you are level 50, playing the same 10 level 50 missions over and over and over and over. That's how I look at it and that is to me how it adds up. Now of course there are way more than 10 missions per level in this game, but that puts it in perspective.

I know, we have established that a page or two ago. So I have considered this during the course of he discussion.

It's done, @GM ColdSpark I think everything said that is positive has already been said and anything further will only be attacks, insults or strawman arguments from here on out. If you wouldn't mind, go ahead and lock this one down, thanks in advanced.

Newt?

Yeah, I knew it was something along those lines. That's why we have @Lines! (haha, I made a funny!) As far as the thread goes, I consider it over. There were some really good points and really good discussions, and for the most part, everyone kept it clean. I'm going to say everyone walked away with something to think about, including myself. 🙂

Actually, come to think of it, you might be right. I don't think the XP gain today is faster, however we need to include the 2x XP, the extreme Debt in those days, and if memory serves, it requires less XP to level today than it did back then? So there are many variables to take in to consideration.

I can see your point. I wish we could go back in time and test it out. I recall my SG mates in those days sitting on my farms and leveling to 50 in a day though, I just can't remember how many hours it took.

You had me at Cyberpunk, you won my finger with Vamp The Masquerade Bloodlines 2.

We didn't have Double XP back then either though. Remember having the +7 (I think it was) mentor? How crazy fast did somebody get to level 50 back then. Add in the double xp that we get now (which skews the actual xp numbers today) and your leveling would have been considerably faster IMO. Also, we you padding your teams to get +8 mobs back then? Remember, we had to pad our teams back in those days too in order to get the max number of NPCs.
