Wait, "reps 2 U for posting yur pics"???

Listing it at 5K had ZERO impact on your profit. If it sells for 50 million, the market takes a cut of 5 million. Your listing fee is taken into account and the final deduction adjusted accordingly. If it sells for 50, the market gets 5 - no matter what price you listed it at.

We should all have positive rep which gradually increases over time. That way, we can all be special!

There's no reason to think so. That's 161,431 members who registered EVER. The game has been around over 5 years.

No, it's an out of date concept that was wrong to begin with. SOME customers are genuinely a drain on your business and a company is better off without them. Most customers are worth fighting to keep - a handful most emphatically are NOT.

Sometimes a company needs to 'fire' a customer and, depending on the exact circumstances, it can be a wise and prudent business decision.

I think there's an issue of scale here. Even for someone without a great deal of influence, weekly payouts from an initial investment of 1 million influence seems like a bit of a nuisance for a relatively small sum.

I don't know if you're already run some numbers, but maybe you should go 5+ million and semi-weekly?


P.S. I have a relatively poor toon on Virtue so I may be interested. I'll be watching this thread.

This is why I craft them IMMEDIATELY. You can't accidentally vendor a crafted IO (and you'll get a higher price for it anyway).

I had a couple sitting around for over a month 'in case I needed them'. I decided that prices were so crazy I might as well sell and got 380mill for two IO's.

Yes it is, right in the middle of the picture. The arcane Slow Field generator is *TINY*.
(And it only cover one 'square' of the base.)

The first rule of reputation is that you do not talk about reputation!

To which plenty of people immediately replied: we would be delighted to be able to walk forward only. The flypose emotes have similar restrictions and we were thrilled to have them. Limited walking capability is infinitely superior to NO walking capability.

We need a code word for the rep exchanges. I propose we call it "meow".

I guess you're new at this intarwebz stuff. You need to get much more emo.

There are two objectives: earning the two badges (for planting bombs and defeating the GM) and earning merits.

Planting bombs
On the top of the ship, in the 'trench' leading to the center, there are gratings along both sides. You need to smash through a grate, then click on the bomb in the small alcove behind it. The bombs have a long interrupt time so it helps to have super high defense or someone to distract the enemies - and a bunch of them spawn when you attack a grate.

When the bomb goes off, it will fire a cone attack starting from the alcove which does A LOT of damage. Therefore, it's common practice to yell BOMB on broadcast when you plant one so people can get out of the way (something like 100 ft away, or off to the side of the grate).

Each team can plant ONE bomb. It used to be possible to plant more than one if you had people click at about the same time - not sure if this is still possible. You want to plant as many bombs as possible because more bombs = more damage to the ship = the shield will be down longer = more time to earn merits. Planting bombs (I think at least 3) will summon the GM. Defeating him also extends the time the shield is down.


A few temporary powers, most of which are only moderately useful. The Vanguard HVAS (those giant robots standing outside the main base or in the 'Motor Pool') are really powerful.

A boatload of costume parts, many of which are pretty darn nice.

A PERMANENT increase to the amount of salvage your character can carry. I believe it's called the 'Vanguard Storage Sack'.

Lots of info on this page at ParagonWiki and the pages to which it links.

Not to rain on anyone's parade, but this is not the first time they've fixed it. I can't hazard a guess why, but it breaks pretty often.

Not as often as the character copy tool, though.

My compliments. I've noticed that the newer versions have way more information jammed in there but still manage to be legible.

I dispute your assertion!

What do they know? When Kirk is fighting Kahn and wants to make it a 3-dimensional fight, he orders the ship moved 10,000 meters on the negative Z axis. If you can't trust Admiral Kirk, who can you trust?

OMG! Now I got +rep with the message: "Here's a +rep to balance it out."
The amusing part is that the +rep was worth way more than the -rep. As someone mentioned in another thread, it seems that rep is weighted. Supposedly a person with higher rep 'carries more weight'.
