This has happened before, the usual case being you bid 1.5BN for a PvP IO (or one that doesn't exist to store inf). You then bid the same amount again, it rolls the two bids together and now you have 3BN on one bid you can't claim back. Support will sort it normally.

75 month vet here.
I play because of the people I play with, some of whom I knew in RL before CoH, some who I've met in RL since I met them on CoH.
Also as a mature student studying a maths degree at home, I need some cheap entertainment for when I'm not doing that, and CoH has saved me a fortune in other computer games, beer etc. I don't want to know how many hours I've put into this game, but my account has 180+ toons on it, 54 50s and counting (and no I don't PL). -
Has somebody changed the ship routes, so far I've fought on the Talos hill in the usual place and been nuked by a ship, and failed to get more than 5 yards out of the hospital in Skyway before being put back there by one.

Quote:Treespec can be done a lot quicker than that if speeded, the hero respecs because of the pacing of the reactor room waves can't take less than 30 minutes and in practice are going to take 40-45 as a minimum, hence the discrepancy in merits.Originally Posted by cybermitheral
Tongiht we started a little bit late as the Eden Trial I was on went for longer than expected.
A 2nd Treespec was formed around 8:45 and off and running by 8:55.
Thanks to Ariellah, Lupur, Indice, Hard and Sintrix for coming along for the ride.
Total time was just over 29 mins which is really good in my book
I find the 14 Merits to be... quite poor to be honest considering a 2nd Hero Respec can be EASILY soloed (much easier than a Treespec) and you get 20 mertis (for 2nd and 3rd, with 24 merits for the First).
I actually find a +4 freakspec to be my favourite of the respecs as it takes some of the waiting tedium out of it

Quote:Yes there was drama which I won't rehash, it seems to have gone quiet now, and in fact the Australia channel has gone back to more or less what it was before, so while this channel is still active and some people use it, most people that were using it have gone back to using Australia.Originally Posted by DKellis
Not your post, but the OP.
I've been more or less out of touch due to various commitments and problems with NCSoft billing, and the usage of the phrase "fed up" indicates some form of ill-feeling.
I also understand the OP is more than a month old by now.
It remains as a backup however. -
I've observed the healer/buffer aggro screnario also, speed boost and "during combat" bubbling seem to upset mobs on occasion.
Another one is that if you had aggro on a load of stuff and you die, it doesn't always wipe the taunt effect. The number of times I've seen a toon die, be TPd out of LoS (much further away than any sort of normal aggro radius, and after a longer time than you'd expect them to hold aggro) but not far enough away, and a nanosecond after they res the badguys run straight to them, ignoring the other people in between. -
Has happened to several members of my SG. Support should sort you out, but normally takes a few days of toing and froing of emails.

Quote:Not sure about the treespecs, think I get 5 vetspecs with every toon I have, plus the freespec with every issue, so no need for more.Originally Posted by Mister Flibble
Well I for one am very happy to do Lord Recluse SF or a Treespec (haven't done any of those either).
If we are looking for something else to do I have kept the final mission from Ambassador Kuhr'Rekt, where you have to defeat Valkyrie in 90 minutes. Don't think ther eis a badge or anything that goes with it, but missions suggests getting a team together and it is always fun taking out a Hero.
I may not have understood what is being released in i19, but I assume there will be a few Treespecs run after the release, so everyone can respec their toons. -

Quote:I use it in a /ice tank in froxen aura, AoE and effectively it just provides me with extra background regen rather than proper healing (and often goes off multiple times). It's underwhelming on squishies, although I did use it on my elec/elec blapper where the punches do a sleep.Originally Posted by Doomguide
QFT, I find it problematic. The heal amount is relatively tiny even if it procs several times it has to do so 5+ times to come close to Healing Aura nevermind something like Transfusion, or a single target heal like Heal Other. Combine that with the tendency to use aoe Sleeps as an alpha/opener when one is at or near max health
, though how much that part might change do to moving at speed as a farmer I can only guess.
As an aside though while I can't say the Call of the Sandman does so for sure, Entropic Chaos chance for self heal can be effected by PBU while PBU is active. -
Quote:I think kinetic melee is a poor choice, burst will send them flying in all directions due to the clocks' weakness to KB.Originally Posted by Rajani Isa
Why the choice of kinetic melée vs fire melée for a scrapper vs a brue, if I may ask?

Quote:Much of this is true, but actually having played on all the servers (I have 180+ toons on one account and at least 12 toons on each server), the comments about Freedom and Virtue are caricatures, but have more than a grain of truth about them. Whether Freedumb has a higher percentage of idiots is open to question, but it has a higher number of them due to the population, and that type of person tends to be very vocal so you see more stupidity in broadcast.Originally Posted by Disappearing Girl
Thats not really true that most aussies play on justice, but the australia channel is so justice focused but the ones who play on other servers give up on it. the Australia channel is less a global one than a justice chat channel imo, and they tend to be pretty derogative about people on other servers (freedumb is always the server of aebabies and spammers, virtue is said to be hawt ERP in the tutorial zone and beyound, and the others are all lolpopulation, you can find teams there?).
There is not real stats so anyone saying that there is more aussies on justice, really people saying that tend to be getting thier info from who is on the australia channel. I've meet many many aussies on virtue, but i dont really care where people are from, just like lots around for teamage.
The amount of people playing is nearly always higher on freedon/virtue than justice even during peak aussie times. Much more pick up group/task activity.
The channel regulars on the Australia/Antipodes will have near constant teaming and task/strike forces on during aussie peak times, and are really friendly for most part (except about other servers
).
Justice has the advantage IMO that it has regularly organised events in Aussie peak. This being my mornings, so the Europeans I team with in the evenings aren't on, I tried a lot of servers including Freedom, Virtue, Protector and my current main Victory, and found Justice to be the best for TFs and other events at that time. -
I'd definitely recommend electric armor for synapse. Also remember clocks are weak to KB so knockdowns will knock them, back. Depends if you're intending to solo the TF or if you have help, I'd go FM/ElA brute, particularly if you have some heal/buff help.
FM/ElA tank is also good for this, and has an extra AoE. -
Another problem in similar vein.
We have a mixed group 41-49. We find with the 49 leading, the 41/42 are not getting costumes and H-tips. We have the block of 4 doors in PI and have had them for 20 mins. We switch to the 42 leading and all are getting H-tips and costumes.
A couple of 50s turn up and start getting us killed by releasing 53s and running away just to get possession of that set of doors. -
Quote:Having had a long chat with one of the buyers, I felt like a pauper, it was very clear that 4BN was extremely small change. It sounded like they had a double figure number of 15BN builds, and just couldn't be bothered to wait for them to drop in price.Originally Posted by Yomo_Kimyata
Great! Glad you showed I'm wrong. It happens a fair amount.

Quote:Yeah, but all you have to do is team with somebody who's done those missions while they talk to the latin student to get into cim.Originally Posted by tanstaafl
IIRC there are a couple of missions in midnighters arc that cant be dropped, save percy and save sucide jane.

Quote:Good luck with that, from somebody who's doing something at least equally stupid. I'm doing an OU maths degree full time at home at the age of 45. You may not remember me, but I was the US server player you met at the show in Birmingham in the Rockjaw days.Originally Posted by Crimson_Archer_EU
Ahoy-hoy EU muffins!
As some of you will know I've been on a bit of a hiatus from the game since starting at Uni (bloody stupid thing to do at 34, but there you go!) but have maintained my subs for the occasional trip to Paragon. Sadly, it's not something I can justify any longer as the fiscal belt gets ever tighter.
Just wanted to say au revoir to those who know of me, and rest assured that Jay & I will be back.
Take care & be excellent to each other!

Thanks to the two people concerned, 2 sold at 4BN each.

Quote:I think the zombie rate is screwed too. I got all the vamps/wolves/ghosts solo and had only got 18 zombies in that time out of the bucket load you need.Originally Posted by Loonie5
I just spent 1.5 hours solo before I got a tip.After 6 years in this game(roughly) I should be used to the Halloween drop rates being messed up as soon as it's transfered from Test.Something always seems to get screwed up every year.
I really hope this is an honest transfer mistake, because if it is not . . . .then this flat out sucks.
I already have a job.
I do not need another, and getting these badges just became one. -
I've now had another offer considerably over the 3BN to "buy it nao", there is one other party interested, but I will sell to one of those two, auction closed.

Quote:Which is extremely irritating as the costume toggles off certain powers that make a big difference to survivability, arctic air being one of them.Originally Posted by Positron
You absolutely MUST be under the influence of a Costume Power (gained either from the Halloween event or via a game-code handed out at the many Cons.) in order to receive the Halloween mission Tip.

One now sold for enough over the 3M that I just "sold it nao", the other still on the auction.

Quote:I'm cheaper than you, I just do 2 days worth of tipsOriginally Posted by Fulmens
I've had a few of them (3 out of maybe 150 random pool C rolls since I18 hit?) drop randomly and I've beat a couple acc/dams out of badguys over the years. I haven't done the mass quantities of recipes plan; I'd go with Minotaur's idea if it was me. 50 merits and 20 million inf for a D/E looks pretty good to me.
-
The dam/ends which are expensive are a 1 A-merit purchase (or 125 merits) unlike the triples which are 2 A-merits, so are not stupid just to direct purchase. Some of my toons if I have slots spare make sure that they can use the proc rather than one of the two expensive ones to reduce the cost in powers that don't have KD of their own.
-
I was slightly surprised it hadn't sold because I've seen several passing through here for at least 3BN and all have sold pretty quickly.
I acquired it (them actually, I have two) because it was the only way I was ever going to see one (I wouldn't pay that much for one, I'd rather have a bucket of other IOs instead and don't PvP). I realised a lot of these might hit the market so am perfectly happy to slot them if I can't find somebody prepared to pay what I want.
