    Oh the issue im thinking of is actually why you wiped the factions. For the build bonus/penalty.

    A new 150 PW grinding up is going to have a better build chance percent on arx magister than say my toon would, because of the loss of 2500 faction or so. (assuming its calculated for faction levels all the way up to 9999)


    Also Zack, rather than manually going through and fixing people, maybe add something to the faction leaders (Kerr, Dewinter, etc) that if you talk to them with a reset faction it will do a check to see if your bonuses are applied? Automation to save you time man.

    Is there gonna be any way to restore that? Like maybe a check with Kerr or something "set faction to HU 150" or something. I love the change and its a great step, but the maxed toons are all losing 2500+ of their own faction they should have. Without slaughtering thousands of another faction and tanking it to get back where I should be (as well as everyone else), is there going to be another way?


    I forsee massive agrippa issues with that collegia faction on some toons as well.

    The brief moment the server was up I noticed some faction issues right away.

    Vrix/Unknown doesnt seem to exist anymore, Progen Combine isnt listed, and my own Centuriata faction on my PW which should be just by doing hull upgrades and leveling close to maxed is at 7000 (a 150 PW is usually well over 9000).

    I know its a work in progress but thats what I saw in the couple minutes I had

    Mmk. Point was, you dont wanna agree with me, hey thats cool as hell, everyones entitled to not agree. But to be a petty single out sort of person and triple downrate my posts just to be a passive aggressive and not even post why you dont agree? Not to mention pretty much everyone else in the thread agreed on most points, with a few detail exceptions. Yeah its cool, i like being slapped at by people that wont even say what the heck they have against me particularly, to me.

    On the most important point, yea theres too much stuff in the game, doesnt make me a hypocrite for wanting to balance it like it was in live. Ive called for the glut of items over 125 to be reduced to that, ive called for the drops to be nominalized, and dont BS me the drops out of bowl and bbg have been terrible percentages lately. Ive been to at least 10 raids this week where the highest drop percent was 106 on one item where there were at least 8-10 that were under 95.

    Not to mention the OCD raid that inspired this thread. The whole OCD mission plus raid yielded a 86 percent PL? Theres something wrong there. Wasnt even my raid and I see the gipped feeling that would give.

    Nice spam downvoting. Id be mighty curious who the baby is that cant take it up with me instead of being a petty little no-button.

    I like how I am singled out as well, look through the thread, there are people agreeing on most principles.

    My personal opposition to a total wipe is the damn level grind. I was and am wholly supportive of a vault/item/gear/component/loot/credit reset. If they did it today id smile.

    I dont care about items/build lists, stuff... what i care about is the time sink of regrinding back to 150. Then again I suppose a ST4 that lasted two years (actually longer than live gold even was), put us back into the deer in headlights of losing it all just like we did before.

    Take my FOTM, but gods sakes leave my experience bars alone.

    Ive never subscribed to the "it was obtainable before, its not now, too bad" mentality. Nor will I here, we will just disagree on that point.

    Besides it goes beyond "i want one too!!". Its an imbalance that should be corrected here. I mean unless I am mistaken that the idea is to be "like live" or something.

    The 2010 budget for foreign aid to nations that harbor enemies of the US was four times the NASA budget at its peak in the 90s, js.

    Nasa 1993: 1993 14,305 1.01%
    14.3 billion

    In fiscal year 2010, the U.S. government allocated the following amounts for aid:
    Total economic and military assistance: $52.7 billion Total military assistance: $15.0 billion Total economic assistance: $37.7 billion of which, USAID assistance: $14.1 billion

    The vast majority of which (at least 80 percent) goes to countries like Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, and the like. We sent more money to Pakistan in 2010 than we did to Haiti after their disaster. Priorities? Not the meat and drink of the US government man.

    Yeah ive always wondered whats up with that "not 5 multiple" thing. Also, what about resetting all over 125s to 125. There are a lot of overpowered items out there that arent obtainable anymore (175% blackbeard gear, ego matrices, and what have you) that give players an unfair advantage now.

    I think in the interest of fairness that stuff needs to put down into the range it should be at. Non manu items never went over 125 in live and those were like 5 per server over the lifetime of the live game rare.

    Id say for lost quality, you should be able to get a non manu item back to 100, but never higher. Like if you had a 110 item, it got damaged down to 80, you could get it back to 100, but thats it. Id be for that.

    So per a chat in guild channel I was asked to make one of my... ahem... famous posts I guess.

    The general gist is its become quite common for most raid items to drop around 90 percent quality. Usually in live youd see 100-105 as being sort of the middle ground and anything higher or lower was increasingly rare.

    Lately the target percent seems to be more around 90-95 with lower being far more common than higher.


    My suggestion would be, unless this is some kinda really unlucky streak of late, to put the median back at the 100-105 range we remember from live play.

    Well my take on the whole "it needs to stay like live" is that we didnt have easy fishbowl and paramis looting like we do now, back then.

    I mean even the triplet drones in BBW are being exceptionally generous.

    Only in antares will you find a bunch of unlooted corpses or spaced antennae just because no one really wanted to loot the corpse. Just stack it up and sell it off, this one item per hold slot thing never made sense as it was.

    How about picking up Llamas from one station, prisoners from another and then delivering them all to a third location for the "Running of the llamas"!

    Location site could also tie this into the gambling scene where folks can bet on winners: very low profit on llamas, better for prisoner number x

    Id like to have some of what hes having.

    Antares 1 has been (under construction) for over 10 years now, perhaps its time for the hard worker construction workers to install a build terminal in the station. Just a wall kiosk or what have you.

    Also.

    Now that we have stacking level 9 loot in fishbowl, BBW, paramis and the like, isnt it about time the antennae and other voltoi drops stack like other bio loot? Its just an unneeded hassle leftover from live.



    What say you?
