I'm not seeing it either.

Sorry, you guys are right. He asked that question in ANOTHER thread and it was answered in the next post.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ahhh, I missed that since I was so alarmed by BaBs post immediately after that...

How can I see this rep counter?

[/ QUOTE ]

simple go to a pvp zone and either kill some one or get killed then look at your personal player info under the pvp tab where you can see rep and the player defeat list it will show you who and how long before rep is enabled on them.

[/ QUOTE ]

And it dosen't work in the Arena anyway.

Nice format. I'd join you but I work so I can't.

Good luck!

And if there's a penalty involved in doing this solo...guess where the farmers will end up again?

[/ QUOTE ]

IF there's a penalty, I expect it to be in the form of some limit, decay or other impact to an individual's rate of reward. Doing so in this way would ensure that it doesn't matter what size team you're on, or where you farm or PL. You won't exceed target return rate limits.

Note that I do not want such a feature and would not ask for it. But if I was tasked with implementing it, that's what I'd do.

[/ QUOTE ]
IF there is a penalty, I expect it to be completely over the top and ridiculous, like a 5 minute timer between drops that resets if you kill anything else within those 5 minutes.

Bwahahahahaha ... hungover much?

Had a friend get a PO drop last night in the Arena while we were testing something. They are dropping in the Arena.

[/ QUOTE ] quoted from a few posts back.

does this answer you question flu. you might want to actually check a few posts back from now on before you go asking questions that have already been answered.

[/ QUOTE ]

or if some one else maybe could verify from their own personal experience because a person's friend could have been lying? I mean while the devs had pvp recipees disabled alltogether i was seeing people in a pvp zone claiming to have gotten a drop when there was no possible way they could have.

[/ QUOTE ] That was my point. So far I have a Developer who says it works but no way to verify. Then we have one person post saying a friend got it. I'd think collectively we'd like some way to verify that the arena is infact dropping PVP IOs.

You're welcome. Glad I could help.

As a side note I still vary between rolling lvl 40-45 and lvl 46-50s. Mostly it has to do with the amount of lvl 40 salvage I have to buy since I have racks and racks of lvl 41-50 salvage back in my base...

[ QUOTE ]
Ahh, just checked my costume files and saw that I must have deleted them a while back.

I remember how to do most of 'em. So maybe, just for fun....over the weekend.

Hell, the Rikti are a threat to all of Earth. GI Joe and Cobra will have to set aside their differences and defend our planet!

[/ QUOTE ]

Well post 'em when you do have them.

BTW when I did what that quote said in an Arena match it said PVP disabled. It also gave no rep count. Are we certain that the Arena is dropping PVP IOs?

Scroll back, it was answered.

[/ QUOTE ]I seem to be overlooking it ...

However, I DID find this from a while back by doing a google search of all things ...

2.12 PVP Reputation

If you defeat a player while soloing, you will gain 1 point of Reputation (rep) if your defeated opponent is within a 100 yard range. (Messages informing you of this sometimes are omitted due to a bug.) When on a team, this rep is split evenly among all team members within a 100 yard range. If the foe has 15 points or more higher rep than you, you will get an individual bounty of up to 5 points bonus rep. (This is split among teammates. In an informal test, a Hero with approximately 90 rep on a team of two defeated a Villain with 195 rep. The Hero received .50 base rep, and a bounty of 2.50 rep.)

To view another character's rep, right click, Info, then select the PvP tab. For yourself, click Menu, Personal Info, PvP tab.

If you defeat someone in PVP and gain the rep from it, or they by defeating you, you cannot gain any rep for defeating that character again until after a 10 minute period. In theory, a list of such enemies appears on your Personal Info PVP tab. Currently, the defeat list only includes those who defeat you. If you defeat one of these again, or they defeat you, the "no rep" timer starts again. So you could defeat someone every 5 minutes indefinitely and only receive the rep for the first kill.

Rep has no ingame effect apart from two badges - Forward Observer (100 rep) and Disruptor (400 rep). (Disruptor, tragically, was one of many buggy PVP-related badges, and some who have it have never attained 400 rep.)

Rep gradually falls over time. The decay rate is .1 rep per hour. This is the only way you can lose rep.

I say, why roll for levels below 50?

[/ QUOTE ]
We've been over this twice in the last week. Flip back a page or two.

[/ QUOTE ]

Don't mind him. Personally I think it is a good question that I constantly ask myself as well.

I roll the 40-45 class because you can then get this:
Miracle +Recovery

http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Bronze_Roll
http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Gold_Roll

If you look over these two guides you can see what else is added in. There are a few really good ones added in like the Miracle +Recovery. If you get one of the ones that are only available to lvl 40 then the IO will be lvl 40. If you are lvl 50 and roll an IO that is available all the way to 50, then it too will be a 50.

Basically it adds some good extra money options. I think most people are only rolling the lvl 50 rolls so a Niche is created ...

Looks like I should just start working on building cash to buy Purples instead of dropping one, eh?

[/ QUOTE ]
Depends on your time frame. I suspect it will be quite some time before we see the inevitable price drop. People EXPECT purples to be expensive so price won't drop until there's a true glut of them on the market. I'm more inclined to farm purples now and sell em, bank the cash, and buy in a few months when price drops.

Doubt it.

That's why I think specific builds would be the best solution. It seems like it would be the best way to get around this new timer.

[/ QUOTE ] Like a Scrapper with built in Rez?

[/ QUOTE ]
I count 4 scrapper secondaries with self-rez. They're all on a 300s (5 minute!) timer by default. This should make it spectacularly easy to time the rep timer. Sure it's still going to take 300s per chance rather than 30s, but for a 1bil inf PO, it might be worth it to some.

BTW, I would suggest leveling the scrapper like normal and then setting up a second build with no enhancements and no auto-powers so he's nice and squishy.

[/ QUOTE ]
Bwahahahah ... squishy.

I'd say these IOs are the ones to hunt now that it appears i16 *may* allow farmers to solo missions spawning 8 man team sized critter populations thus cuasing an eventual drop in purple IO prices....

Post 'em!

The kicker is dealing with it all. At times I roll gold just because I can't be bothered with processing 53 recipies and crafting the 30-odd good ones.

[/ QUOTE ]

I agree but I also consider crafting then selling (AKA crapping) as fun. You could also just sell the recipe instead of crafting it to save time.

when I was doing it I rolled all bronze and deleted everything that wasn't really good- the payoff seemed worth it to me.

I guess it depends on how many tickets you rack up. If you're drowning in them, roll gold just to keep things manageable.

[/ QUOTE ]

The Goat speaks the truth ... I did this last night and got some great recipes. I would suggest rolling 40-45 bronze all day long. Take them to WW and delete the worthless ones. Go back to roll more. Keep repeating until you've filled up on the ones you like. Craft and sell.

If you do this long enough you'll start to really know which bronze rolls you can delete right at the AE vendor. That's when the time commitment really drops.

Some players say they have soooo many tickets that they don't have the time to deal with all the chaff that comes with bronze. I think they are being a drama queen but that might just be me ticked off at rolling a gold and still getting junk. Hell, Stillhart was telling me he rolled 10 golds in a row (or something) and didn't really get anything good at all. Don't be that guy (lol)

Glad to here they are still dropping.
