    I don't wanna say names in case they don't wanna do that stuff at the time.
    The inequity between the exchange rates has remained, because people don't question it and therefor you make more money on a "Canadian" magazine/book/etc. sale than on an "American" one. The current exchange rate (as of this post, and I hit three different sites) is 1:1.

    Why I can't help you make the exchange is that red inf. is now worth way less than blue inf., because of the MM exploit. In the past, I converted for free no questions asked, and now all my inf. is red. I'm hoping, once I17 hits, to resume helping people out with exchanges, but we'll see.

    GR, also, will theoretically liven up the exchange market.

    It always resets when it re-checks the global DB. I don't know what triggers that, or if it is timed...but there you go.
  5. Ouroboros and the regular contact system are completely separate, and have virtually nothing to do with each other. If you're level fifty, you should be able to at least complete a Safeguard mission and select him as a contact.

    They each win a coveted, "Didn't read any part of the thread, just posted" award. Thanks for playing!

    Pretty much this^^^. They've all been reset, hero-side.

    You're right, I hate it. Why not just eliminate all drops from the game if everything is available in a store. The drops serve no purpose then, and neither do the CHs. At that point--

    Oh, wait, you mean YOU use the CH to make money? Pot, meet Kettle.

    My first thought. All that moolah just disappears. Escrow my ***.
  12. OP, that fits right in with many of our regular political activists in real life.

    I had no missions started so I'm not sure why it doesnt work?
    You must, though. You are trained to at least level 20. You have no missions open. I wonder if the new cape arc triggers as a minor arc--do you have any story arcs open? Look for little books next to older contacts.

    What Wes said. The Devs were actually working on a website for offline viewing, but wanted so much information that it actually slowed the real game down. For now, it's dead.

    And thank god for that. I rejoice over my globals every day. If it weren't for them, I probably wouldn't be playing today.
  17. Do you have an optical mouse? Mine does this every once in a while, now. It's not limited to CoX for me, though. It just sort of gets a lazy eye and wanders off the screen.

    Oh wow ...

    You can get capes at any level post 20. Don't worry, you're good. Workbenches are publicly available in any university as well as the war zone. EDIT: Also, in Abandoned labs, redside.

  20. Pretty much all the in-game stuff can be handled on the Consignment House system. If it even exceeds that, post what you are looking for in the Market and your home server forums. What sort of item do you have/want for this want ad?
  21. Siren's can also be used for hunting Toxics, Ancestrals, and Sorcerers. In any zone I have badged in, when folks realized I wasn't fighting back, they walked away. It's not fun for them if you're not fighting back, or complaining.
  22. Thus far, the thread has largely covered the illiterate, unimaginative, and intellectually challenged. But you still haven't covered redneck bigot. I've seen plenty of those characters...and I wouldn't dare post what they were saying or doing.
  23. The Ink Men are a CoV addition, and as such don't naturally spawn blue-side. Occasionally you may see them pop as the ambush for the level 20+ costume slot in Steel, but your best bets are the Talos Island Safeguard or Siren's Call. I earned mine in Siren's Call in under 20 minutes, but that was before the PvP changes made PvE harder.

    Remember, also--entering a PvP zone constitutes PvP, whether you want it or not.
