Police Woman Posted March 21 Posted March 21 I guess it depends on whether you see the other players sitting around looking for farms as a noisy nuisance or an opportunity to lure them into a story focused arc. 🙂 2

Even the Rikti need Virtual Reality Entertainment! On 3/21/2025 at 1:01 PM, ZamuelNow said: Pretty sure most people were thinking it. Though, I've seen fire farmers in other zones. No one likes a traffic jam. No traffic jam if people are afk'ing and door-sitting inside an AE mission. But I can see the potential of that on Excelsior ... speaking of which ... I never even thing I've gone near any of the AEs on Excelsior. If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore. (It seems I'm involved with so much at this point that I may not be able to easily retrieve access to all the notifications) Some players know that I have them on ignore and are likely to make posts knowing that is the case. But the fact that I have them on ignore won't stop some of them from bullying and harassing people, because some of them love to do it. There is a group that have banded together to target forum posters they don't like. They think that this behavior is acceptable. Ignore (in the forums) and /ignore (in-game) are tools to improve your gaming experience. Don't feel bad about using them.
ZamuelNow Posted May 8 Posted May 8 (edited) I think there's a lot I think the AE story writing community can learn from the base building community. For a while, I've been trying to learn. The first thing is that we're not organized. While the role of Community Rep has been retired, base building has (had?) highly visible members who can communicate with the devs about things the community needs. They also exist to inform the community about things. Perhaps most noteworthy are the base directories. It solves one of the ways where the two communities share an issue--finding player content. AE's search engine is flawed but at least it exists for us. Finding bases to visit requires outside sources, so those are maintained. I had been planning to compile a spreadsheet but hadn't had the time due to all the other AE things I'm working on.

ZamuelNow Posted Monday at 11:42 PM Posted Monday at 11:42 PM Yes, actually. I planned on making a new directory of sorts but simply haven't had the time.

Clave Dark 5 Posted Tuesday at 01:54 AM Posted Tuesday at 01:54 AM To update my earlier posts on this topic, I did actually finally bite the bullet and lead some people through one of my two AE Radios arcs. It was about 5:30 am local, so I was probably lucky to get anyone. I was running a very durable scrapper so if I got nothing but level 2s we'd still be ok. Overall things went fine with a team of 5, but one thing I noted was that despite whatever silliness was in the arc no one batted an eye... BUT.... the fourth mission was in a cave, and two players quit right after that one. It wasn't even a cake cave, the babies! I swear, it's no wonder that asteroid map farming is so stupid popular, so many players are just lazy, reminds how you'll be on a steamrolling team one after ONE near-team wipe at least one player will quit right there without a message. Tim "Black Scorpion" Sweeney: Matt (Posi) used to say that players would find the shortest path to the rewards even if it was a completely terrible play experience that would push them away from the game... ╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ Clave's Sure-Fire Secrets to Enjoying City Of Heroes Ignore those farming chores, skip your market homework, play any power sets that you want, and ignore anyone who says otherwise. This game isn't hard work, it's easy! Go have fun! ╚═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
ZamuelNow Posted Tuesday at 07:05 PM Posted Tuesday at 07:05 PM An interesting possibility is that the team members were from South Korea since it would be evening for them. Less interesting would be that they were in a Discord together and not talking in team chat. Who knows. 1 AE Arcs: Search for @ZamuelNow Dhahabu Kingdom and the Indelible Curse of Hate [60044] and Dhahabu Kingdom and the Unfathomable Nightmare of Sand [61528] Consideration of Knowledge [65341]
