My first MMO love is finally dying after about 20 years. Asheron's Call is fading into the internet ether in about a month.

Pour one out for one of the OGs

Oh wow, Asheron's Call still was active?
RIP. It was one of the games I didn't play all that much, but sad to see one of the originals die off.

Yep. Turbine split off its still profitable MMO's (DDO and LOTR) into a separate independent company (helmed by the people who have been working on those games) and is now just a run of the mill shitty mobile dev. I guess it wasn't worth keeping AC going for the new company since it generates no revenue so they are just letting it die.
 
Lame.

Also lame is that for the Christmas present quests, you have to get a specific Bloodstone item from Clea, and if you're unlucky and don't get it in your 4 rerolls, you're gonna have to wait god knows how long for her refresh button to be available again.
I don't even know why the vendors have limited inventory refreshes anyway, seems dumb.
 
Is there a list of login gifts for the winter event or is it just random gifts? Got Winter Soldier team up today and a pet. Missed out on yesterday though. :(

Because how else are they going to make you log in again and again and again if not with arbitrary timers to gate your progression.

The other side of that coin is that they would have to avoid items with randomized stats on vendors, lest people would just sit all day clicking refresh until a perfect roll shows up, then complain about how unfun it is. Now all they have to do is log in every day, run around rerolling every vendor 3 times to see if an item is worth buying, then complain about how unfun it is.

You mean Punisher, right?

Wait, checking that list I didn't get a fortune card today. Hmm, it's only 9am Pacific, so it might not be active yet.

I logged in about 30mins ago looking for the card and didn't get it, didn't see the 9am time on it though.
 
Embrace your Britishness and get it done to look like a spice girl
 
Where do I get a pretzel?

Also, Pretzel M&M's >>> the thing you love the most

Edit: Actually, that gives a gem of the wurst? Why do I even want that. Whatever, I don't get this game. Too high concept humor for me.
 
I got a yuuuuuuuge old school style lootsplosion from the winter boost while I was doing a Kurse terminal. Like 4 blue boxes, 2-3 crimsons, several uniques, a legendary, etc. Actually had to stop what I was doing and manage my inventory.

4 blue boxes and 3 crimson boxes isnt old school, its mythical. Ive never had that and ive been playing since vanilla.
 
Nobody gonna post about Team Up Synergies finally existing?

Hey folks,

One of the new changes you will find in today's Test Center build is the addition of Team-Up Synergies.

Awhile back, we asked the community if a complex system like Hero Synergies was desired, or if a more simple approach could be taken to Team-Up Synergies. It was clear that simpler was better for this particular system, both for ease of use, and getting it implemented. The Biggest Systems Update ever put a halt on features for awhile, but we're now ready to unveil it as a feature.

After the thread was closed, we took to deliberating what the results would do to Team-Up Synergies, and found that although we could have assigned different affixes to different Team-Ups, Team-Ups themselves don't have a lot of affixes to use. Since Team-ups generally don't have survivability issues, we'd have to reduce their ability to live in order to have a buff to their health or defense or regeneration make sense. That wasn't something we are wanting to do, since it just adds friction to a system that doesn't need it.

The affixes that remained available to use were essentially variants on damage increases, - damage type bonuses, keyworded bonuses, or critical effects. When it was all laid out, it ended up creating even more friction by way of having some Team-Ups not "be worth leveling" if you didn't use a particular type or style of Team-Up. For example, if Punisher gave 2% damage to 'Away' powers, he wasn't worth leveling if you played with your Team-Ups out and about. Furthermore, if you already had him leveled, it created unnecessary feel-bad that you've been "playing wrong" or wasted time leveling a Team-Up that didn't help you out.

With these things in mind, we adopted a more straight-forward, easy to understand, globally useful Team-Up Synergy system, as described below:

All Team-Ups now have a Synergy passive found in their power tree, which increases their Base Damage by 1% for every Mastery level they have achieved, and upon reaching Mastery Level 60, the Team-Up will provide 2% Base Damage to every single Team-Up in your Roster. Up to fifty Team-Ups can provide this Level 60 Mastery bonus.

The fifty Team-Up cap is installed to give a fair edge to free-to-play players who may not own every Team-Up, or players who weren't around during Team-Ups that were given out during time-exclusive periods. This cap can and will be adjusted as Team-Ups are released. Generally speaking, we'll try to keep it at around 75% of the total available Team-Ups.

Why is he only wearing boots? What's wrong with his face?

He was snow covered before he became icy.
 
I like how they say the cap is 50 teamup heroes to make it fair for f2p players. That's a LOT for an f2p player, I'm not sure that I even have that many. I'm all for making them more useful though and simpler is better in this case.
 
I've never bought a team up and I probably have ten or so. Also, considering the game's relatively low difficulty and the fact that no one uses PvP, there's not much reason really to go overboard trying to make it fair between p2p and f2p players, but whatevs.

Are there even 50?

I have 31 and based on the roster list there are only 46.

Edit: There are 58.

10 of which are only in random boxes/fortune cards.

35 purchasable with G or Splinters

4 from achievements - Firestar Classic, Groot, Howard the Duck, Pirate Deadpool

3 earnable in-game - coulson, danger room wolverine, shield agent

6 given out for free at some point that will probably return. - Captain America, Doctor Doom Classic, Holiday Groot, Iron Man Mk. II, Punisher Dead Winter, X-Force Wolverine

I guess they're being very optimistic about the future of this game if they think a cap of 50 is fair to f2p players then, at the rate at which they're giving out free ones you might have 50 in, oh, 8-10 years? lol
 
A while back they said variants of the same team-ups (e.g. white and green Doom, or default, holiday and movie Groot) will not be giving synergies on their own, and you'd only get a synergy once.
So if you have green Doom and get white Doom, you don't get an additional Doom synergy.

The writeup there seems to suggest the contrary, which is kinda bullshit.

I imagine that was when they were thinking of old-style hero synergies. Since they're generic damage now, and you have to level them separately still, it'd be pretty stupid if they only count once.

I'm not sure that will still be the case, but if it is the max amount of unique team ups is below 50.

They need to reduce it a bit I think. 40-45 would be fair. The only way to cap it currently is to have at least two team ups from rng boxes, these are not earnable in-game or even directly purchasable.



Edit:
Removed collision in many doorways and other places that would block players from moving through them when using flying travel powers. This is a work in progress and some areas may still have doorways and other passages that block flying heroes at this time.

Just logged in for a sec this morning so didn't get a chance to play much. Where are the holiday vendors to get the older holiday giveaways that I missed?

Any word on when this new huge game update is coming to the full version? Been kinda waiting on that to get back in to the game.
 
For those of you who missed yesterday's Winter Fortune card gift due to that bug, Gaz extended to deadline to get it by today, so log in if you wanna grab it.
 
Also it will almost definitely have a boost or whatever so who cares
 
Got that ugly costume from the second card. Hmm, thanks I guess.

I wanted to level Angela today but the latency is insane. Every time I've logged in today it just shows red and is pretty unplayable. Weird.
