  1. May I be added to the list please, if only as a B-lister bench warmer.

    GR presents an interesting conundrum for me to predict what the players will be doing. I think this is the first time that every side and every level will have something new to do.

    There will be lots of new characters (level 1-20) created to experience Praetoria and the new powersets (kinetic melee, electric control, dual pistols and demon summoning).

    There will be lots of level 50 players dusting off characters to open the Alpha slot and get the necessary items to fill it.

    Characters of every level over 20 will be running the new alignment and morality missions to experience life on the other side . . . or in the middle. But now that the markets are merged, I believe that we will see less people leave red side. Or if they do leave, it will only be temporarily to earn an accolade or other badges and return.

    My guess is that the 1-20 content will initially see the most play. New zones, new missions, new technology in the branching dialogues, new badges, and new powersets make it highly desireable for a lot of different players and play styles. Accordingly, look for low level recipes and salvage to drop in supply and go up in price.

    That's a good point.

    When did they change the market holding period from 60 days to forever? It's only stuff listed 59 days or less from that date that we have to worry about.

    I am not terribly worried about old bids though. If you bid 1 inf on an LoTG +recharge a year ago on a lark thinking that you might get lucky, that is not a terrible loss. Most reasonable bids are filled within 30 days, as long as it's not a super-rare PvPIO.

    At least for me, the only items I have as bids or sales that have not filled are items that I am severely underbidding, items that are extremely rare, or items for which there is almost no demand and I have priced more than 1000 inf.

    I do think there may be the odd thing here or there that may get eaten up by the merge and then sit in someone's tray for a long time or forever. It might be a nice surprise for them if they ever return. But even if they don't, I am happy to pay that price for a merged market.

    Supply will go down, and prices will go up.

    Then supply will go up and prices will go down.

    Then it will happen again.
  6. Thanks, Beef.

    Badge-Hunter and Vidiotmaps are two of the best COH related sites. It's usually a thankless job to keep them up and running, let alone improve them.

    Good luck and good tips!
  8. I liked Beta Ray Bill. Not at first, but he grew on me.

    I see that the question of character slots was brought up and not answered - as far as I can tell - multiple times - here and in other threads.

    I see no reason to go "Champions Online" with us in regards to character slots.

    If we can get what we came to expect as far as new character slots with an expansion, then please explain why it is the case.

    Why is it that 2 is some how the magic number, or was this a joke?

    Thanks.
    That isn't a question that David can answer. He is Art chief. Extra slots sounds like production to me, but at any rate, it's someone other than him.

    Also: Did you have to resuscitate this thread? Aren't you making this same point elsewhere?
  10. Happy Birthday, Positron!

    And remember . . . .

    Seen him in sirens the other day on his new spines/wp I think it was. Hit him with a hold and he flew to the ceiling were I dropped him with levitate and killed him. Tells of total hilarity ensued.

    man i love how lame u r. u put a levation on me and pushed me up then killed my toon. yes u killed my toon woo hoo. no toon in this game is perfect. Takai is in the shop getting his upgrades. i dont PL my toons, but i have been PLin other people with my new spine/wp to get money to build my toons that are in my head. I need to up Takais rechar b4 i can get back to the DPS i had when i first made him. i messed him up when i started tryin to add more regen to a regen lol. as of now he regens at 712% and only recharges at 25% without hasten this is bad for what i need to do. my spine/wp recharges at 60% without hasten and without purple IOs. and the only villains i have trouble killin is dark MM and Corr.
    takai has trouble killin invun brute so they brag when they are playin on God Mode. its very easy to stay in the fight if i use DP+ Aidself and have maxed out lethal dam. duh.

    but to all that still think Db sux in PvP, i say open ur eye. ne toon can work in PvP if u just think outside the box lol. oh and remember its only a game.
    Ah, the good old days.
  12. Thanks David and Sexy Jay!
  13. Having too many alts requiring additional slots is an exploit.
  14. Once you understand that what Durraken writes and what he means are two different things, he makes a lot more sense.
  15. Just got home and started to log in . . . no download, so no patch.

    Move on. Nothing to see here.
  16. Thanks. I had seen that but missed the line about no patch notes.

    Was it really maintenance? Don't we have maintenance on Thursdays?

    I guess if there was no download when restarting the game, then it was maintenance. I'm at work so I haven't been able to log in. But if there was a patch, I am curious to know what was changed.
  17. Was there a patch? I looked for patch notes and didn't see any.

    Did the mutant pack go live? Any noticeable changes?
  18. *POOF!*

    All gone.

    I miss all the fun.

  20. I do like the idea of PvP missions but I don't know if a TF is the best way to implement it.

    The problem, as stated above, is coordination and timing. You need to get 2 even teams and then get those two teams moving through the missions at a fairly even pace, which is very difficult.

    A similar suggestion would be to add mayhem/safeguard missions as optional content in the PvP zones. One quick mission, everything is the same as a normal mayhem or safeguard except that in addition to the normal NPCs you have real players trying to rob the bank or prevent the robbery.

    Since this is a timed mission with enough NPC enemies already, one or two clever or powerful players could even take on a team of eight and cause them to fail.
  21. What powers specifically are you considering? Now that we know you are talking about PvP, it would also help to know the powers.
  22. Also consider damage types. Usually +res only benefits a few damage types and always leaves at least 1 type as a hole (except for weird PvP rules). But -damage almost always debuffs all damage types.
