    It appears that some people have never taken advantage of AO's sub offers.

    When you go to get this offer, it'll be on your account page under "Special Offers", NOT as part of the normal subscription area. You can get these offers even if your account is active.

    Your account does not have to be inactive or renew during the offer availability Whether paying the money is worth it is up to you, but the offer is available to everyone.

    Was the boost to perks too big? Yes, due to the extra AAO given to agents and Pyramid gear it got a little crazy.
    Should they go back to rifle check + 100% dodge? Hell no Agents don't have the AR of 2HE Keeps/Solds/Enfs nor the bulk/def to reliably use debuffs to make them land besides on doc/sold/engis. I'm looking at this as a mostly evade prof user.
    Trust me none of the current/old Agents want to go back to 2-6 sec perks and 100-120% dodge checks.

    AR check + 115% dodge check (110% if ABoC/Concentration is nerfed) or Rifle check + 70% dodge check both should work. I still want AAO check for non-rifle Agents but I wont cry if changed to rifle check.
    Example: Using my shade it has 2243 dodge range without ABoC, 2305*1.15=336.45 + 224 from 90-100% = 560 evade gain before DoF which is another 200 if its up so 760. Could get more evades in setup but Def Shades hardly work.
    2243+800*1.15 + 1243 AAD = 4742.5 total evades instead of 3.9kish atm. Not bad considering shades have the worst dodge of all profs with Dof/Limber.

    If perks are changed I would also make Snipe Shot 1 and Shadow Bullet 1 sec cast time maybe even 1.5 sec to slow down their alpha if they use those perks. Also increase the dodge check on Shadow Bullet so it can actually be evaded.
    ok

    I wasn't around for SL's release but I could easily see that same logic being applied to mobs that drop PB parts. Level-locking is tricky, I agree. To do so requires a compelling reason, and keeping endgame 220s away from levelling toons might just be good enough.

    When the offers are active go to your account page and scroll down to special offers. Click, pay them through the page it brings up, and done.

    i do also have an agent, its my 2nd most playd profession, but i never ever vote for something unbalanced to remain to satisfy my epen.
    Don't put words in my mouth I just love how people like to twist words on here. I want the entire class deleted and removed from the game to put an end to the misery because anything that gives them a positive boost will be taken in the end.

    Ever consider changing level locked dungeons to simply level locked PF's? So anyone 150 and below (or whatever the cap is for that dungeon) enters the restricted PF, any anyone over enters another?

    Multi Playfields are already built into the game and was in use all the time back in the day when there was too many people in places like TOTW.

    I use to love going into places like Formans on my main and getting things I missed, or just exploring. It sucks not being able to enter those places anymore without creating an alt. Level restrictions for what i'm aware are only to stop higher levels from damaging the experience for the intended levels, not to set a hard limit on the max level you can get an item from that instance (that is just a side effect).

    I think it's time to look into nw/pvp. It's broken pointless and useless against crapboxs fingering all together to kill one single target becouse they alone cant do it.

    FIXED!

    I'm pretty excited that they are actually having an AO stream instead of only doing TSW all the time. I know its their main game now but a bit annoying that they focus the streams on it so much. Good Luck Michi! cant wait to see it and the Reck.


    I will be definitely buying at least a full year on 1 of my accounts. Maybe on the other 4 too but can get pricey to dump that much cash at one time. Hope the armor this year is as cool as last years. Dunno where the idea sprung for the new dog head mask in item store but its pretty awesome so.. more of that and more cool item store stuffs.

    (PS for christmas I request more bank slots because all my awesome social gear is taking it up, some crat love and nerfs to NT dmg cuz its too stupid strong... begin hate in 5.. 4.. 3.. 2.. )

    Items offered in these subscription offers normally eventually make it into the shop eventually, though it probably won't be there for at least 12+ months. It's a set that will still be mostly aimed towards twinking and leveling characters.

    Awesome job also. Keep up the good work. This game feels more refreshed than ever now and I really see more and more people online and playing it !
    Thank you, happy to hear it!

    Edit: Well, if you're going to put level locks on zones, why not lock the zones that have tower sites to the max level of the tower site *1.25 or whatever the highest level able to attack a tower placed there?

    Granted, that's a bit of a can of worms, but you started it!
    I could see the benefits, though making such changes to such long-standing playfields would be problematic. I have some changes I would like to make to how Notum Wars work, and I am open to looking at PvP level ranges, these things will just take time and resources, which I do not have at this very moment; I hope to get to them down the road.

    Level locking a large Rubi-Ka zone isn't something I would normally want to do, and still something I can go back on. That said, there are a few things within the playfield that I would like to remain a challenge, and not have completely negated by high-level pocket alts.

    It has been difficult to address balance issues while trying to keep moving forward with some other initiatives, such as The Reck. There do seem to be some issues and professions which require some attention...I am reminded of them regularly. I will find some extra time during the week to attempt to address these issues.

    Neutrals, and Neutral-friendly neck items, are a tricky subject. While the challenge Token requirements have been somewhat negated by Daily Missions, it is still an obstacle that they do not have to worry about...so giving them gear that's at the same level is something I've had difficulty justifying.

    I would like to give Neutrals some more unique items/traits, I just have not had time to really think about what would be reasonable and most appropriate.

    What's the biggest issue with the Gauntlet? I've been meaning to have it run more often, it's just a very delicate encounter that'll require a lot of careful adjustments and reverse-engineering.

    The message and overall feelings towards Agents in their current state has been made clear, and it is something I plan to look into and work on.

    When specifically asked for positive words, responding with a personal attack is incredibly rude and inappropriate. Please do not repeat such behavior.

    Neutral friendly items are already 30%-40% percent worse than sided ones and I think thats enough of punishment for staying Neutral.

    Ya, really cool that you at least try to respond to some outstanding comments so we know you're aware of issues the playerbase has.

    Even if you don't get to them right away, it's a strong tactical decision because it keeps us happy!
