  2. More a general observation than a direct reply to the OP:

    The key thing to do (outside of marketeering) is to simply play your 50s. Even soloing a very poor build for doing so (such as my emp/elec defender) you can pull down roughly 1 million inf/hour.
    (reference the original Cats hour chalange thread now purged). This was before the recent buff to the 50s earnings per defeat, so really the baseline would be closer to 1.25-1.5 million inf/hour.


    A top end soloing build can exceed 30 million inf/hour (though 25 million/hour is a more realistic target) and that discounts market sales (assumes all recipe vendored), so the 'real' earning potential selling drops is much higher.

    Why would we stock up if prices are coming down ?

    .

    They most certainly did not. They got the progress awarded for the months they had already paid for and used.

    No-one on Nov 6th 2006, got more rewards that they were eligible to in terms of months paid in the past. I did not get as much as several SG mates who were here from the start. Others got less than I did, right down to an SG mate who got the 3 month badge only.

    There simply was no 'boost' in veteran status for being around when it started.
  6. Ah, that has happened to most of us I am sure.

    Bit like the old days where you would carefully buy 10 SO from Ghost Falcon of the entirely wrong Origin.
  7. Done.

    Excellent post. I had no idea we could do that sort of thing.

    For being honest, that's actually very far from the truth.

    Last night I once again brought out my rad/rad who is far from sub-par and has maybe 6 IOs total, though he does have a few HO.

    Just looking at peoples 50s it is clear that SO and/or common IO builds are par.

    Extensively crafted IO builds are actually the exception in game rather than the norm. The forums sub-set of players tend to be those who use them.

I could try again like you said maybe the server didn't recognize some of my recipes, not sure? My last badge it shows is the Lt. Colonel Badge which comes right before the Colonel Badge.
    There should be a progress bar for the colonel saying something like 16 of 17 completed.

    My guess is that it was just a hiccup, but if it is saying 17 of 17 and not giving the badge, then it needs to be bugged
  10. Yopu need to craft 17 recipes

    8 of which MUST be level 25, but can be accuracy or tohit buff
    8 of which MUST be level 30, but can be accuracy of tohit buff
    The final one can be either 25 or 30 and either accuracy or tohit buff

    Sounds like you should have it

    What is your badge progress bar saying ?
    x/17

    what is x ?

    Occasionally if you craft fast, the server can skip recognizing one.

    Someone who subscribed for the first time between August 7th - Nov 5th 2006 got no veteran awards on Day 1.

    "everyone else" is demonstrably false
  12. I have 2 there, and one nearly. 7 is definitely an achievment
  13. Combat Jumping and Hurdle make for a decent semi-travel power.

    The key thing missing from the true parkour style of travelling is forward rolling on a landing.
  14. Touch of Death - Melee set

    Bonuses
    Two enhancements reduces the duration of Immobilize effects on you by 2.75%.
    Three enhancements increases maximum Health by 1.5%.
    Four enhancements improves the Damage of all your powers by 2.5%.
    Five enhancements reduces the duration of Hold effects on you by 2.75%.
    Six enhancements increases Melee Defense by 3.75%.
    Six enhancements increases Smashing and Lethal Defense by 1.875%.


    It is one of very few sets that increase the melee positional defence that is open to scrappers tanks and brutes. It is the largest (joint with obliteration) amount of melee defence for any single set bonus.

    It is in very high demand for softcapped builds for /SR and /Shield types.


    You can sneak the odd one from lowballing, but with the high demand and constant turnover it takes a lot of patience.

    Oh and the acc/dam/end and dam/end/rech sets are Pool C, available from merit rolls, and so expect those two to be even more expensive than the rest.
  15. Over 50% of my liquid worth redside is concentrated on one Brute (774 million I need to push for the billion soon, got a bit fed up of constant scanners though)

    I have a couple with 100 million plus, and quite a few in the 15-30 level range with 20-30 million.


    My shining example of how things changed so dramatically with Issue 9.
    My first redside 50 has a mainly SO build and under 10 million inf, he levelled up before IOs and spent his career broke.
    (He worked the Cap SF heavily just to keep his acc/dam/rech SOs current)

    My VEAT is fully set IOed and has many rare sets, still only has 30 million liquid inf, but probably a billion inf build.

    I'm pretty sure that coalition (which I think of as a Triumph grouping) plays together at leats in part on 4 different servers now.

    You dont have to move servers on your own, you bring some people with you.
  17. The concept certainly goes back to the Roman Legions to my knowledge, and likely before.

    [Towel] is over powered and will be nerfed in the next patch down to the level of [washcloth]
  19. Without disputing that stance, the selfish gene and similar theories provide plenty of biological drive for spliiting the world into 'us' and 'them'.

    We as humans frequently forget we are animals as well. Biology has us caught in her powerful web of motivations. If you need help to rise above biology, please report to the nearest Seer, they will provide all the help you need.

    THEY SAY you are crazy ?

    THEY SAY many things.

    Is the coming storm the Drakh ? and have they planted a keeper on Morac ?

    At 33. Go see Gordon Bower. He will say he has nothing to give you, but send you onwards through the Croatoa chain. Kelly Nemmers gives the introduction to him.

    You maybe at risk of outlevelling him, so consider turning your XP off until you get his arc started.

    Complete Buck Salinger's arc.

    You can run it in flashback if needed.

    So if you want to get a badge for not using traveling powers in a storyline you shouldn't have access to the Base TP, Oro Portal, Pocket D port, or Went/BM port powers.
    Of those you only have the O-portal.

    (Hmm not 100% sure on the Wents/BM I think its greyed out but would have to verfiy)
