FluShots

If the team allows, I'd like to dual box my emp/dark defender but he'll be the first to step out if we are full.

Do you guys big Gold/Silver/Bronze?

[/ QUOTE ]

Buy rather than big?

Unless the toon is in the 30s, I buy Bronze. I choose the lower end of things when the character gets into the high forties, since a number of nice Pool As that cap at 30 are fairly rare. I also like to slot the two Steadfasts and Karma -kb on nearly every alt and get them for my sg-mates, and low Bronze produce a lot of these.

Like you say, Bronze *seems* more lucrative on average. It also seems more fun to me, 'cause MORE RECIPES.

[/ QUOTE ]

Bronze all the way. The others seem like a giant waste. The key is to know which ones to delete while you are sitting at the AE ticket vendor counter. Delete the chaff and roll more bronze.

Oh Flu I have a blessing you can have if you want. Not sure of the level though.

Sure!

Apparently, I'm mooning the camera.

Sounds good to me. And thanks for posting the chat macro. I'm going to add it to a few more toons.

No, Meld. Basically, each player will have a 5 min timer. So if Player A defeats Player B .... chance for drop.
If Player B then immedietly defeats player A .... chance for drop.

Both have to wait 5 mins from their last defeat for another chance. IMPORTANT: The timer is NOT reset if they attack each other while they wait for the timer to reset...

This is a very good fix.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not quite- if A defeats B either would have to wait 5 mins for a rep qualifying kill.

On Live yes but not with the new patch on test.

This is now rather dramatically changed on test.

Defeating someone who recently defeated you now no longer is blocked from receiving a reward by the rep timer. I haven't tested (and probably won't) but it sounds like you actually get rep for it now, too.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, this is an example of a very good change. +1 to the Developers for not leaving the drops like they are now on Live.

[ QUOTE ]
Crushing Impact, Positron's Blast and Mako's Bite have always been good to me. Level 30s you can pick up for 100K or so and sell for 1-3M (redside)

[/ QUOTE ]

Ahh, that's not bad but you can find better.

My suggestion is to look at the IOs YOU want to use and start there. Usually those are the good ones that players are willing to pay a nice price for. And be patient. You make money flipping by buying stuff cheap NOT by selling it high (IMHO)

You got lucky. A new patch cometh. Prices should start to fall... read the patch notes on test.

PVP Changes
[*]you defeat someone who has recently defeated you, this will no longer restrict you from receiving rewards from the PvP defeat. The PvP reputation timer is now no longer reset from a defeat that doesn't earn reputation.



[/ QUOTE ]

Wow, you eliminated the farming of PvP IO, and then you give us a way to farm them again.

Thanks!

[/ QUOTE ]

No, they had made it harder NOT elimiated. In fact they only really eliminated those people actually getting a drop from playing PVP. Farmers were still able to obtain the PVP IOs.

If so we should submit Luna for some sort of CoH award or something. That pic would do it for sure!

Just a heads up the next one is the same level range so those lowbies dinging away should be all set for the CoT Trial next week (12-15)

Ugh, Seeing your all's recaps this morning, looks like in the confusion I set up a few unbalanced teams. I'm so sorry guys!!!!!

MB: Your team had a tank scheduled, but he didn't show up. I didn't realize that he was your only tank. I could have moved someone else over

Mr E: On paper your team looked lovely with bubbles, an emp, a rad, and a kin. Sorry I didn't realize that you all were all lowbies

Xort: Glad your team worked out, sorry you had someone drop. Didn't realize I put 3 scrappers on your team If I had, I could have mixed your's and MB's teams up a bit.

Alter: Looks like your team did great and I don't think it was too heavy or too short on any thing. At least I got one team right

I'll post up info on my team here in a bit...

Luna

42 deaths.

[/ QUOTE ]

Great time. I really love playing my fire/mm blaster! (Thanks to Luna for recommending that one!). However, he's really squishy but I still loved dropping those AoEs! I think a good number of the deaths were me. And like fox said I was falling asleep on the last mission.

Thank you very much Luna for organizing this. This has to be a crazy to keep straight given how many people showed up. Truly impressive.

I'm looking forward to tonight’s ITF!

wwwwwwwwwwwwwWhat bug?

[ QUOTE ]
you can set the arean timer to 30 mins - and unless they changed it you can get drops after the match ends..

my bad I thought he meant two drops in match...which used to be possible in a 20 min match

[/ QUOTE ]

You CAN get a rep kill in the 5 min cooldown period for a match, correct. I did not this weekend but I saw how it could be done.

Going to repost this from a different thread. Enjoy:

So even attacking resets the rep timer (or fails to allow it to reset)?
I had a pair of toons I was testing arena drops in which it was a slow (5+ min) kill rate.
But you're saying I cannot even attack the toon until the 5 min rep timer resets?
I failed to recieve a PvP IO using the slow kill method -- maybe that explains it.

[/ QUOTE ]

My understanding is that ANY attacks restart the timer. The timer does not START until the first defeat.

EX:
Player A defeats Player B .... Timer Starts for both. Player A has a 1% chance for a PVP IO Drop.
Player B attacks Player A 2 mins later ... Timer restarts for both.
Player B waits FIVE more mins then attacks and defeats A. New timer starts for both since the timer met the 5 min requirement. Player B has a 1% chance for PVP IO drop.

Also, due to the 1% drop rate for a PVP IO you should expect to average about one drop in 100 kills (with 5 mins between them). Thus dueling players could expect to play for 10 hours before getting one.

However, I received 2 drops this weekend within a lower amount of time. Thus raising the question of did they increased the drop rate or was this just an isolated occurance. After all random is random.

Also, the unanswered question is if you have a rep timer in one match then immedetly start another match. Does the timer drop off? Or do you still need to wait 5 mins from the last attack?

The simple solution is to add purple rolls in rewards for tickets/merits.

[/ QUOTE ]

they're gonna nerf AE rewards, not bump them up.

[/ QUOTE ]

at which point nobody's gonna use it...but eh.

[/ QUOTE ]
Especially since everyone lvl'd up already and with i16 can solo farm ...

Sign-Up & Show Up

We will be running 4 or 5 teams depending on the turn-out...

Also, sometimes people cannot make an event, so spots open.

[/ QUOTE ] Not 11 teams of 3?

Fox, you got to post some cool CQB pics sometime. And don't tell me you don't have a few unexpolded flashbangs by your bed...

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh, I have more than flashbangs within arms reach of my bed. (that sounded dirty). Clears throat.... Firepower wise I mean. I'm actually going to another Force on Force Instructor course next month with paintball/airsoft/&live rounds. I'll definately bring back pics & hopefully some video! :-)

[/ QUOTE ]
We'll talk on vent tonight, sir. I've got to hear what caliber your using. I'm gonna guess 12 gauge slugs, right? I've only got a little MP5 plinker gun clone myself. Really fun and cheap to shoot. I'm thinking I'd love to pick up a 9mm version. Great for your line of work and not too powerful to tear thru my neighbors house too bad ... man I can't wait for CoD6 to come out...

Sssssh!

PS. the TF starts at 7pm PST tonight. Go finish your work so you can join us in some actual gameplay. Level 13 and up.

Steel Canyon 3 FTW

Edit:
PS. Luna, I'll be signed in as Captain-Germany to unlock the Midnighter with MB before we start ... (just to make it extra complicated for you ... lol) BUT I will be there waiting patently for my orders by no later than 8:55pm CST signed in as Hot-Shots.

It's a 5 min timer or I would not have gotten both my drops this weekend.

Yeah, while the developers have never stated their intentions, I think this *patch* really screwed PVP IO drops.
