Thread: Friday with Means - September 17th, 2010 - No footage for the greater good

    My new suggested range is:

    1 to 24
    24 to 55
    55 to 100
    100 to 150 tl4-5
    150 to 174 tl5+
    174 to 200 sec7 twinks can try top tl5 BS twinks for example
    200 to 220

    It isn't 100% sure that your new BS will run with your ranges, so e.g. if range 24-55 doesn't run, level 55 can join at least higher range 55-100 and people can choose what they want.
    The most important for these ranges is challenge! Are you boring to be TOP in your BS? Do you want change? Sign up for higher range!
    This option should be there, in NW you won't fight 100-150 with your 150 twink, but mostly only with 150+!!! So you can try both sides lower and higher twinks.

    So, just power those twink levels there already are, instead of creating more variation by actually having different ranges? having your ToTW/Fore/S10/insert some other place here twink being top of the level range for BS as well... well, I think that there should be slightly more variation to that.

    Also, I do think that the last level range needs to be a lot wider. 215-220 just don't make it. Or make last range for 220 only and see how many of them wants to really play PvP instead of farming leveling greenies?

    To the people suggesting new ranges:

    - you can't all be correct about the knowing 'best' level ranges
    - just because you have a twink a certain level doesn't mean that's a good reason to alter the level ranges
    - do you really think the devs are going to read all your posts, analyse all the new suggested ranges and change them accordingly?

    Hey, you know, that "overlapping BS" sounds like the best thing like sliced bread. Considering the original post's ranges, you could have things like:

    - 150s could sign up for both lower and higher BSes
    - Same for 210-214 or so
    - Why not level 60s as well
    - Other levels should be looked at too

    Having all the BS sign up terminals in the same spot will work towards this. So you can choose to sign up to just one, or to several BSes. The net result should undoubtedly be more running battle stations and less dead ranges. Right? Besides, signing up to a more challenging BS would be by choice.

    It'd probably be smart to have some mechanism that removes one from all BS queues when one invite is accepted.

    People bitch about the population of the battlestations all the time. Dont they realize that the level ranges means posted would greatly boost participation because a lot of current pvmers have twinks in those ranges?

    - Nope, the only one I am guaranteed positive on is the Notum Repulsor against low levels issue. Zap nano is almost 100% of some of these players nanoskill or nano pools. Also a level 200 cap is only fair to the froobs, rest I have no idea. 30 JAME traders or Tiig enfs would just be stupid too.
    - The only twink I actually care about for BS is my level 1, which doesn't seem to be allowed to join again. Beyond that, I will probably just level to twink accordingly, but I would like to see certain ranges like tl3 to actually run.
    - Not really, not because they suck but due to how busy they are. I know from experience when you are low on staff, you miss things and cannot take the time to go over everything with a fine-tooth comb.

    150-174 BS is now dead, 2. in queue and none around and BS doesn't run, it will be more empty without sec10 twinks.

    Question Questions

    Questions:
    1. Is the plan to increase or decrease the number of lvl locked nanos/items?
    2. Is the plan to increase or decrease the number of profession locked items(weapons)?
    3. Is the plan to increase or decrease the number of breed locked items(weapons)?
    4. Is the plan to increase or decrease the number of NODROP items?
    5. Is the plan to increase or decrease the number or rarity of Weird looking Nanos?

      The questions are on the intent for AO future (the balancing)

      Bonus questions:
    6. What are your thoughts on a AO clasic + Notum Wars server?(that only paying players can use)
    7. Is there a chance of the old PVP rules to return to the main server?
      (so you can be looted, if you have not saved your inventory, and lvl 220 can kill lvl 1 (not in tower wars and cities though) to spark some more user interaction and less solo play)

    8. Will that mean that the winners of the competitions giving a lifetime subscription to AO will get infinite Veteran points on there accounts now?

    Still like the changes overall, though. We're still awesome.

    Questions :

    - Will we see efforts to reduce the gap between new players with leveling chars and twinks (ie: making outdated items like tier armo easier to acquire) ?

    - With new content and dailies, will we see affected older content like pande or cyborg baracks reviewed in order to give teams or solo players appropriate challenges (removing exploits AND reviewing mobs hp) ?

    - Any chance we get to see some footage of the engine you displayed at the meeting along with some comments you made that day ? Pleeeeaaaase !

    101-150 sounds fine. 150 S10 toons used to be gank food for level 170ish PvP toons anyways, fights that last more then 3 sec might actually be fun on this BS range.

    @boltgun - the engine demo in Oslo was really crude stuff, basically just Parsed teleporting around Borealis showing us new textures here and there and how lighting and viewdistance worked. With a bit more work on it I figure a more thorough walk through Borealis video could be made.

    I just raped solo with my 150 doc 170advy,174trader,170agent fp trader and could continue...so no, it isn't 3 sec food for 170s, 150 solds are damn good too and more 150s.
    Hell, I even met 150 neutral advy which was waaaaaaaay better than all 170s advies.
