  1. No big deal OP, I don't ever ask for speedboost, having played a Kin to the cap and hated every second of the set. I would just assume you were yet another worthless fire/kin who had never learned to play with a team. Functionally, you're indistinguishable from such a character if you demand that everyone say please and thank you for your buffs.

    I guess what I am trying to say behind the snark is that you should use your damned buffs unless asked not to, not withhold your buffs like some petulant baby until everyone kowtows to your ego and fulfills your petty need to feel important in a superhero video game.

The point is to discover if the problem is specific to the Market or specific to the piece of salvage in question, because it looks like a problem I've had before that is salvage-specific.
    Thanks for the ideas. I did finally manage to get that salvage on the market, after much struggle.

    Your ideas got me to test some other things.When I had the problem again just now, I tried both storing the salvage and enhancements and selling it to a vendor. The salvage and enhancements go into my base storage fine and sell fine to a vendor. I went back to the market and once again had to click a dozen or more times to get the stuff on the market. I also bought an enhancement from a vendor and tried to put it on the market; same deal, wouldn't take it without a lot of attempts.

Outside of times when the Market is down, I've not had problems of being unable to retrieve items AT ALL.

    Are you sure you're not getting the "Cannot process your request at this time" message?
    Nope, no such message appears, and the buttons to get items are not greyed out as they are when the "market too busy" message appears. When this happens, the Find button works perfectly well, and I can search, I just can't actually put anything on the market or take anything off it without clicking twenty, thirty, forty times or more.

    I've had it happen with the old interface where an item gets tossed back at you when you put it on the market, but never like this. Once or twice, maybe. I've got, right now, a stack of three Kinetic Weapons that I have been trying to put on the market since last night with no success. Pretty soon Wentworths is going to sue me for harassment, I am clicking them so often

    I am glad for you folks that don't have this problem because it is a right pain in the ***.
  4. I'm sure that anything your friend needs to play the game is fine. Accessibility issues and their solutions shouldn't contravene any EULA.

    Not saying I don't believe you're having an issue. Just trying to narrow the problem down a bit more than just "Fix the Interface."
    Yep, I have done that and all other reasonable things I can think of (short of reinstalling the game). The problem persists across zones, sides and characters when it happens to me. Sometimes the market takes my stuff properly, other times I have to drag the same piece of salvage or recipe into that window quite literally forty or fifty times. In the same vein, sometimes I have to click the Get button over and over again to actually get my purchased items. I've tried it on a different PC and had no better luck.

    It's only started to do this to me over the last few days, but it's extremely annoying. I don't think it's necessarily the interface, but there's something funny going on somewhere.

    Actually, what happens is they demonstrate that you absolutely could not have seen what you claimed, and then rightly call you a liar when you maintain that you saw it anyway, in defiance of game mechanics, math and objective facts about the game. Like the time you claimed that bosses were all resistant to Force Bolt, or the time you claimed that you ran out of end fighting a white con no-resist minion, or the time you claimed Snow Storm scattered mobs, or the time you claimed that the only power that a solo emp/elec had for mitigation was Tesla Cage.

    People see through your attempts to bolster your weak arguments with lies about what you've seen in game, Ultimo_. You're not fooling anyone, no matter how loudly you claim the impossible. When you have to make things up out of whole cloth to support your points, you've lost.

    I'm with you. It' never been like this. It might not be the UI but something is hosed. Right now I can't place items on the market, retrieve items from the market or get inf from sales. I have tried different zones and characters to see how it persists, and it carries across characters. This is on Virtue, which has had some troubles of its own lately, serverwise, so maybe that has something to do with it.

    Yeah, safe to say you don't know much about playing doms or what they can do nowadays if that's the last time you played one and the highest you took it.

    Well, as long as you are talking about things that you claim happened that absolutely could not have happened. . .

    Perhaps it's time to stop posting these threads. You know, the ones where you select a game mechanic that is impeding your tankmage defender and then disingenuously claim that you want it changed "for the good of the community."

    It seems you don't know what the word "fact" means. At your low skill level, and with your refusal to learn, yes, endurance costs might seem excessive, but to the rest of us, it's easily managed.

    I remember the thread where you were proven a liar. You remember that one, where it was demonstrated that it was in fact impossible for you to run out of end at the rate you claimed, even without stamina and with no slotting at all? I'm fairly confident that Fulmens is in no danger for calling it like it is.

    Complete misinformation.




    . . . It's going to be five weeks.

    No, some options have disappeared, hopefully not for good. The Warrior pants used to be available for categories other than tucked in. I've got a couple characters that won't be seeing a tailor until the option returns.

    Ugh. I certainly hope this is due to some technical issue, rather than the devs listening to the complaining of people who believe that being buffed is somehow griefing them.
  17. Loving the recovery serum, haven't got much use out of the rest yet.
  18. I've never thought it rude when someone's asked to join my team. Then again, I don't take myself too seriously on the internet.

    2. Earned merits go into an account-wide pool.
    3. Eliminate the option to purchase specific recipes with merits.
    4. Force random rolls whenever the random roll merit threshold is reached through an immediate reward selection popup.
    I'm with you on all but #4, but even that would be fine assuming #1 was in place as well. In fact these are some of the best, if not the best suggestions I've ever seen regarding merits.

    The markets

    This I didn't know. Makes me wonder how difficult a serverlist merge would be (enabling EU accounts to access NA servers, and vice versa). Clearly something's already merged in there.
  21. If it's the bug I'm experiencing, it's different. Pets stay in the window, but can't be controlled, dismissed or anything, and refuse to move from the zone in point.

  23. I'm always amazed when yet another person who hates being buffed by friendly, helpful people in a multiplayer game crawls out to post this thread. Is there no end to you? People will complain about anything at all, it seems.
  24. Nice to meet you, hope your job rocks.

    I'm looking forward to bots/traps hitting 50 so I can see for myself...
    Can't say about the stacking of the effect, but I will say that when I slotted that thing it made a noticeable difference.
