Quote:Excellent observation that may in fact be correct.Originally Posted by graystar_blaster
It seems that converters did not have the effect on Purples that i thought it would. Conversely pvp ops were affected more than i thought.
Pvp Io procs in the 200 mill+/- and purples are more +/- still the demand for purples is soo much higher than pvp io procs.
maybe cause you need at least 5 purples for the good sets. And only one or 2 pvp procs will do ya fine.
am i wrong here. -
If you have a Plant/Earth Dom you are NOT going to be pleased with the meh performance of BM with anything trust me.
-
BM being a for pay set is the least of it's pitfalls.
-
I for one had ZERO market aspirations concerning EC. I just want to slot all of these set IO's I have ready to be converted stockpiled.
I think this is a perfect example of how the exact same thing can have many different uses in the game depending on the individuals focus and desires. Cheers. -

I think most of them are now being generated by SSAs. Pretty easy to run one once a week on a bunch of characters, and a lot faster (at least for me) than doing tips + morality.

Don't worry more stuff that was in BETA and not fixed will come out as time goes on.

Quote:Hi Bill glad to see you still here fighting the good fight. IDK what the devs are thinking when it comes this kind of thing. It almost seems like there is nobody on the dev team that is NOT an end game guild raider or they are listening to the wrong person that does not even do solo arcs but knows inside information all the time.Originally Posted by Bill Z Bubba
Is 2 emps and 7 components per week actually being considered a fair and viable progression for soloists by the developers?
What are the chances that the 1 component per day time gate is going to be changed to 1 component per arc per day? As it stands, I can't resub until we get something better than this.

One very unpleasant surprise and undocumented change - the XP booster activates when you claim it. So you can't just claim it and hold it until you're ready (like I have done on every new character since Freedom launched), claiming it thinking you're under the old rules means the clock is running.

I tend to enjoy AV killing on my debuff type toons like my Ill and Plant/Rad trollers. I also enjoy the up close and personal feeling using my DM/SR scrapper.

Quote:You are doing a great job as usual, in your position I could not be as civil. Cheers.Originally Posted by Justaris
That's laudable, but of course ultimately meaningless for anyone who was wanting to capitalize on the actual release of converters.
I'm trying really hard to be civil and rational, but this is damned frustrating. -
Quote:Hmm... mate IDK what I would do had I done this like you did. I just run stuff that gives AM's, EM's and HM's and not RM's so I have a stockpile of those. I had ZERO marketing plans just a ton of set IO's that need to be converted so I can place them on my toons.Originally Posted by peterpeter
This is really disappointing. First they change the date when the converters go live, then they change the way you buy them. I converted all of my reward merits to hero merits and arranged to work from home last week. Today I'm sitting in the office watching billions of influence disappear from my grasp. Sigh. Very sad panda.
I totally understand where you are coming from though, epic disappointment. -
Quote:I would add a lack of pizzazz and a big meh in the power department as well. Weaksauce.Originally Posted by Lazarillo
Seems weak mechanically and the pets are too uniform to give the set any pizzazz in the style department too. This is the first new powerset that I won't be purchasing.

the umbral beast AI was fixed in todays patch

Quote:I can understand that but twice in a row I22 and now the patch....is the person in the right slot with that level of incompetence as you put it? Certainly NOT calling for anyone's job...maybe just a department transfer.Originally Posted by Snow Globe
While I also don't like the Supergamble Packs, the fact is that the converters aren't available with the other types of merits is also a bug. Or someone rushing things, not paying attention, and not properly doing their job. However it will be fixed with the next patch.
In other words this is a case of not attributing to malice what is the result of incompetence.
..That's a joke for those that cannot see it. -
Quote:I don't have an agenda, I just have high standard as a consumer and player of PC games since the 80's. The name Supergamble Packs is used as an ode to a player no longer here in the forums.Originally Posted by Bosstone
Yes, I'm sure the guy who insists on calling them Supergamble Packs clearly wouldn't have any kind of agenda.

Quote:You may in fact be totally correct.Originally Posted by UberGuy
Well, it sounds like they didn't mean to, unless we assume nefarious intent that they are misleading us about. (I'm not saying you're doing that, but I'm sure some people will.)

The assumptions people were making were EXTREMELY well founded when they are based directly on the devs communication to us. Look at this post from Positron on this issue. http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showt...35#post4022035
He is not indicating in ANYWAY that there would be some piecemeal releasing of the methods used to obtain these things. He is also going out of his way to say it will be balanced and NOT unfair to certain groups which was the entire purpose of his thread since they put their foot in it the first time around.
The way he presents it is like an entire feature to have them available for purchase via various methods. They should NOT have released them for purchase only for RM's which like it or not favors the people that bought Supergamble packs and/or have a strategy of hoarding RM's leaving people that hoard AM's, EM's and HM's "for the same purpose" in the cold.
And before someone points out the subject to change part please don't. The reality is if they had planned on releasing them piecemeal as a strategy that changed that would in fact be defeating the ENTIRE flow of what he was addressing in the post in the first place which was equality of ways to purchase them. -

I think this is really what has miffed me about this entire deal. They said they didn't go into I22 because of it (bug)and now the next patch to then just enable it for RM's which is the best scenario only for the people buying Supergamble Packs with tons of RM's hanging around sucks.Quote:Originally Posted by DumpleBerry

UG I misunderstood as impish said and I am sorry. -
Freitag this is great news and all, but can we get someone from the dev staff to come clean on the Converters and why they are not available for purchase via AM's, EM's and HM's and are only available for purchase with RM's.
As you are aware, some of us planned on purchasing these converters via AM's, EM's and HM's and not via RM's, and planned our last months activities around game activities that rewarded ONLY AM's, EM's and HM's and NOT game activities that reward RM's.
Thank you. -
Quote:NOBODY said they did so why even make that stupid arsey snarky statement?Originally Posted by UberGuy
To test it?
Everything on beta at any given time does not always go live with the next patch. See: Beast Mastery and Staff Fighting, which have been on Beta since before I22 went live.
ATO's and how they introduced them in Ouro and other ways was the standard and they did in fact set a standard for these things for AM's, EM's, HM's, RM's and other ways ALL at the same time. Rolling them out for only one merit way is not the standard is the point as well as hearing from the devs as to what the actual reason is, like they did for this issue at I22.
Dev communication on the issue is ALL that is requested, not forumites possible speculative justifications. -
Quote:You may be making an assumption that I had some marketing loss and no that has nothing to do with it. I just don't do a tremendous amount of RM material vs the AM, EM and HM activity that I do so getting things in the game via those up to now equal ways was just that equal.Originally Posted by Fulmens
They need to do X "for this to be viewed as anything other than" Y.
There is no way to view this as anything other than Y, because they did not do X.
Fair enough, it was an imperfect paraphrase and poor use of quotation marks.
I stlil came up with three other ways to view it and I wasn't working that hard.
Meanwhile, you're mad because you made a big bet that Live would work just like Beta, which is a guarantee they explicitly do NOT make.
ATO's came out for AM's and other methods on BETA that was sent to live and the expectation of that kind of uniformity is the standard. YMMV. -
Quote:Then why bother to code then into BETA for AM's, EM's and HM's?Originally Posted by Hopeling
I think they maybe looked at that and thought "whatever, anyone who has points and wants converters will just buy super packs".
-
Quote:Er um... no...That should be part of the known issues that they know before releasing the patch. I mean they have told us for weeks since I22 the converters were in fact coming in this patch and had plenty of time to say but only for RM's.....Originally Posted by Hopeling
They've been live for like two hours. Hold up a bit on the "if they'd just fess up" angle.
