Well... I hit 50 yesterday.... did my respec for powers/slots, and set what I had. Like I said, I have spent quite a bit on this toon, and he's broke.
err, was broke...
one Hectatomb drop later and i've now got a decent amount of funds to deal with, so I started shopping! -

They used to, but a number of porcs worked...oddly...in them. For instance, some would damage or stun the user of the power in addition to the targets.
Just have guys randomly spewing orange numbers out without me laying a finger on them. My presence being so damn offensive to people their minds couldn't handle it...
Oh wait. That's real life...

Okay, you come up with a whopping 77.5% global recharge.
Okay. Why not take Hasten and a couple LOTGs instead and rebuild for something like...this?

Quote:The latter. And also because your analogy breaks down because of the problems inherent in the comparison.Originally Posted by TwoHeadedBoy
*Sigh* It's sad that I have to do this, but this is the second post in this thread where I find myself needing to ask, "Do you not grasp the concept of analogy? Or are you being intentionally obtuse because you disagree with my overall point?"
I'm not going to lie and say this situation doesn't affect you. Indirectly it does. I could put a slight damper on the market for regular IOs for those sets. Meaning nifty drops may not sell as fast for as much.
But, again, it's a game. I refuse to get "I Quit" levels of worked up over a game. -

1- Energy Punch is useless to me. I don't need so many attacks.
A-MEN!Quote:2- Unstoppable is virtually useless to me. *SNIP*
Dump the common damage IOs in the 5-slot attacks. Go with something like a Mako Quad, Mako Triple or the Crushing Impact Acc/Dam/Rech. Going to the Mako Quad, you lose miniscule amount of damage, and gain significant bumps to native Acc/EndRed/Rech. The additional recharge will increase the amount of damage you do over time.Quote:I threw this together... I based it on IO sets that I already own, and have moved some things around with powers being dropped.
Yes, I know you said you're broke at the moment. That won't last. -
Quote:To be fair.Originally Posted by Doughboy
The enhancements on the market are BETTER than what you can earn in the game. It's frustrating that players cannot earn the same level of power in the game.
- The market-bought enhancements can't be sold off-account
- The market-bought enhancements can't be traded off-account
- The market-bought enhancements can't be boosted
- You have to spend REAL money to get them

I have half-completed level-bumped characters over there already.
It makes no never-mind. They'd be horrendously gimped and I have no way of putting additional funds on them. -

Yes, Please let us Buy a 50.
Yes, let us buy inf or merits or recipes.
I would love this simply because it would put RMT'ers out of business.
I would rather see Paragon get the money than the scammers.
As far as your second part where is the attraction to do it the "hard" way over just buying it if you have cash....that's called life. Some people have to work hard to get a little, others do nothing but open thier wallets. Stop trying to keep up with others and enjoy your journey.
You can already buy some sets on there. Complete sets. Not "recipes" but hey.
With Paragon rewards you get merits.
Both on the market and via Paragon Rewards you get the Windfall temp power which magnifies your earning potential. Essentially selling Inf.

Quote:For some reason the save function isn't retaining the 800W PSU or the extra SSD. Go figure.Originally Posted by Father Xmas
Only see a single SSD and it's complaining about the size of the PSU, they think it needs 800 watts for a GTX 580. Which may be true with their generic 800 watt PSU but you and me both know any good 80+ PSU over 600 watts could handle that setup.
And I DID go with a RAID-0 of SSDs, though I gave it a large mechanical hard drive for data retention. My gripe with the mechanical drive RAID-0 can be summed up in 2 points:
- They're mechanical drives. So you're not seeing a huge performance gain that you would from even just going with a single SSD.
- The RAID-0 in the Alienware machine was the ONLY storage system on the entire computer. With the option I gave above, you install the OS and any apps you need to start up fast on the SSD RAID-0 and keep your important files off on the mechanical drive. This way, if the array blows up, you can replace a drive and restore an image or refactor the array down to a single drive and restore from an image.

- Acquire a bit of Inf. Not really hard. At all. Look around this forum for tips on getting STUPIDLY rich with little effort.
- Contact Fulmens. Ask if he's running his prestige matching. This is usually a "yes".
- Get Inf from Fulmens.
- Go to the SG registrar in Atlas Park.
- Cash in Inf for prestige.
- Voila! Instant SG base!
Some illustration!

They're giving you a 2600, not the K variant. Just say no.
Dual low-range video cards. Yeah-NO! Waste of money.
Your only disk drive in the system is a RAID0. If it goes, you lose EVERYTHING. And these are mechanical hard drives. If the controller hardware on the board or the drive "burps" you just lost it all.
2 grand for a 1 year warranty. Pfft.
You can do better.
A LOT better. -

That's one of those new AMD Zambezi systems.
Huge power consumption and worse per-core performance than the previous generation of processors?
I wouldn't recommend the current generation of AMD processors to anyone. They've effectively stepped on their **** this time and Intel is going to be eating their lunch for a while. Intel's LAST-GEN processors outperform Zambezi for gaming and most other single-threaded ops that a regular desktop is going to be going to.
And, apparently, it can't beat out Intel or even it's previous generation in multi-threaded apps unless you double or triple the price and give it higher speed storage than competing offerings.
Sure. AMD might be a cheaper alternative. But you get what you pay for. And going AMD right now is a case of being penny-wise and pound foolish. -

Is also a stupidly fun addition to an electric melee / shield defense character. An unstoppable juggernaut of annoying "bamf" attacks.
Am already working on this for my SS/WP Brute. Only level 30, so no Foot Stomp, yet, but with Rise to the Challenge, standing there and letting mobs beat on him is already entertaining. -
