Gotta love how they sneak that stuff in. Dirty.

I've had it. The game was barely holding on to the border of mildly interesting, but if I have to be a Harvest Miner, Artist, and Engineer just to make meds..than I'm gone. If the devs think Sampling is a fun and dynamic part of the game than they are a bunch of D.I.C.K.heads.Period.

Bye Bye

Wait, wait, lemme give you Holos canned response from way back in beta...

"Why not just buy your resources from someone that LIKES being a miner/artisan?"

You are not meant to get your resources from sampling. That's why it's called sampling. You get samples, so that you can see what the resource is like.

AFK macro sampling was never intended to be part of the game. The developers' statedintention is that either you place harvesters or buy resources from others.It's not likeharvesters are difficult to acquire or run-- any n00b with level 3/4 in the engineering line of Artisan can make the harvester types you will need, and they are inexpensive compared with what you can earn from a couple of missions (even with the new nerfed mission payouts).

Long-term planning and stockpiling also helps. Sampling as you need stuff was never a good idea.

That said, there is still a way around the nerf. I'm sure they'll stop it too, but you can AFK sample using a different method post-patch.

actually, no, AFK Sampling was part of the game. It was the game 'as intended'.

How can I say that? Because at the end of Beta, when we were all trying to push for changes before the game went live, one of the things bought up was AFK Macro Sampling. We told them it would just mean increased load on the servers because of all the characters just macro-sampling. And the reply from then newly hired/promoted/whatever Developer Sal_the_Pal was that it was all part of the game design.

So yes, veronica, AFK Macro Sampling was really a part of the game 'as intended'...

Sorry Morv...your dead wrong

Devs at end of beta said it was part of the game and indended.

My account is still good till the 28th. Doesnt give them much time to make the game enjoyable.

2 Disappointments down..1 to go...hope City of Heros can make it..

Nothing from Verant ever will I suppose.

I found a workaround with a new macro...I still cant call all night like I use to..but at least it doesnt stop sampling whenever the dialog box pops up..
