Misaligned

Yes, it is based on total. I held back and left the lot smaller so people would have money to decorate with. Also, the super computers (which I just bought x2 for our control needs) are 500k each. The "nice" stuff adds up fast.

Erm then why mention the lack of damage that hasn't been there since i15?

Why not toss in the it doesn't increase your agro cap as long as we're pointing out the things it doesn't do?

The OP's question was answered in the 2nd reply. I simply wanted to know why I am seeing so many people comment about Domination - noting the end refill and the mez protection - while ommiting the added mez. The same people who generally leave out the added mez seem to tie in the fact that it doesn't add damage any more - something that changed 3 issues ago.

I just found it all very curious. I guess no one can answer that though.

And no, Talen - the rest of the power's abilities are just as obvious. They're right there in game, mids, your favorite CoX website. So I'm not buying that either. It was a nice try though

Sorry Angelic for jacking your thread.

I'll take a stab at it - not promising anything mind you, but I'll take a stab

Edit: The porters will need beacons. I know how to get them, but am not up for doing it again =( if someone has a 50 that can run around and grab em, that would be swell.

Well - how about this:

I am destroying inf because I can. And I want to.

The same question could be posed to many things in this game:

Why spend 2 bil on a PvP IO?

Why spend WAY more than what I have destroyed on purples for a build that is marginally better with them?

Why race to 50 (as so many do) when 90% of the content you do is around level 30?

Why have costume contests? Why give out "prizes" for something as arbitrary as your opinion? Why hold a contest to guess what I'm spending on my Dom?

Why is a level 50 enhancement worth so much more than a 49?

Its a simple answer to all of these and it comes down to the same thing:

Its my $15 a month. I'll have fun any way I want. I expect you to do the exact same thing. Have fun any way you want!

Regardless - why does anyone care what someone else does with their inf? If I burn it on prestige or hoard it across 8 servers, the end result is still the same.

Not speaking about double or triple stacked. I'm really just curious about why I see a lot of people listing the benefits of Domination as:

End filler
Mez protection

And that's it.

Domination adds mez and mez duration. To me, that's the defining portion of the power, yet it seems to be the part that gets forgotten outside in the cold freezing its little toes off (ok - went too far there ).

I also see a lot of people who leave out the extra mez from Domination comment on the lack of +damage. I know that's a very old mechanic, but why mention that and not the mez that's added from hitting that shiny button?

There was a post a while ago where someone was saying that it was a waste of their time to use domination because of the following:

It was an activation that could have / should have been used to do a damaging attack
It doesn't boost damage any more
They didn't have end issues - why do they care about the end refill?
ST Hold + AoE hold was fine for holding bosses

I really, really am just curious why the extra mez is often left out when discussing Domination.

The malfactoring never bothered me. I have yet to make a build that will translate down better than they do - This one will do better than most as I tend to slot my (near) 50's with lvl 35-50 IOs (whatever is cheapest). This character might get a 2nd build if I find myself wishing I had the recharge at lower levels. But tbh, on groups, this game is so easy - especially the lower level tfs - that I find the extra 5 levels of powers are more than enough to keep me happy.


Update:

I sit and I wait.

Things I am being forced into by my own rules (DARN ME!):

If I want an enhancement, I will often bid across a LARGE range. I bid on enhancements and recipes up to 4 levels higher than I can currently use. This toon is level locked - so that doesn't work. I also limited myself to +/-3 levels from indicated to make it more fair.

If I want an enhancement (or recipe) I will often bid across a range before bed. Bidding on 6 or 7 enhancements and 7 or 8 recipes. This allows me the best shot at getting something while I'm asleep. If I get more than I wanted, I sell them for more than I paid for them. Because of my limitation (self-imposed) of not purchasing anything more than I absolutely HAD to, I can't do this. This makes me sad lol.

I will often make minor changes on the fly to my builds depending on prices. If I see that the Basilisk's quad is selling for 100mil, but the triple is selling for 20 - I'll probably settle for the triple. I try to avoid 6-slotting any set (when I can) for just that reason. Since I am locked into this build, I'm eating some costs I wish I wasn't.

Procs: Procs are (nearly) identical from the lowest level to the highest level. When they are being muled (such as a LotG 7.5) level is irrelevant. I feel I could do much better if I had allowed myself room on the proc front.

Deadline: I never have a deadline for a character. I have never had to have one. I can usually build what I want in a day or 2. Changing my build on the fly helps a LOT with this. I'm starting to feel the crunch on this build. Monday is only a few days away!

I built something I REALLY want to go play. This stink. I can't even go smash lowbies - it will skew the numbers. This is making me impatient. In fact, I have to force myself to stop increasing my bids on an item when I realized I was well over the point I would ever pay for it. Patience is key with the market. My shiny new Dom is making me lose mine

There's still time to get your guesses up! I won't say how many slots are left - but I will say that its not many

Getting to level 4 I added something like 600 pres to my 2.2 million. I don't see this being a real issue at lower levels.

I'll be running in SG mode because its "cute" to see that tiny little bit added on to my total.

Why do a lot of people seem to forget that Domination has a very significant effect beyond Mez protection and end refills?

And yes, you get no extra mez from stacking (Per Muon's post), but I'm really just curious why the main effect of this power is often left out of lists when talking about Domination.

We had a fire pit for burning inf but the locals shut us down. They cited some regulation about fires cannot be more than 50 feet high in enclosed spaces. I don't get it, but w/e. When I can figure out which City Official needs me to buy him a new house to get that law changed, then we'll go back to the bonfires.

I know I said I was done with this thread...

*sigh*

Hejtmane,

On behalf of the entire Marketeer Community, I would like to sincerely apologize for any anguish and any and all trauma, real or imagined, that this ordeal has put you through. We hope you understand that these actions are the work of an individual and therefore should not be held against the whole. The real-world (people in the game - not on the forums) perception of Marketeers is not favorable at this time. We understand this and are working on several campaigns to help reduce the stress between the Marketeers and the non-marketeers. Hopefully our previous level of tenuous relations can be achieved. At this time, it is looking to be a very long process indeed.

You have our utmost sympathy for the grievance you have brought before us, and we humbly ask that you forgive our wayward member. He was intending to have a lark, and while he did, the wholesale damage this has caused our reputation is nearly beyond our ability to repair. This is evident in the fact that one, such as yourself has willingly come to this forum to share your sad story. To bear witness to the atrocities perpetrated against you on both a financial and emotional level. The market has recovered at this time, but the hearts and minds of all of those involved will need time. Time to heal. Time to forget.

Once again, on behalf of the entire Marketeering Community, I apologize. If there is any form of compensation you desire for your troubles, please feel free to PM me at any time with your request.

Thank you, and God bless.

Actually, our Alter has bottles of freshly squeezed marketears on it for the members. Only the best for us

Ok... you've lost me.

First you say that vendoring doesn't generate inf. And now you respond to CC with that...

Focus man! Focus!

I'm still waiting for your explanation I asked for above

Then what is your reasoning behind people having significantly more inf then they did even 6 issues ago?

I would sincerely like to hear an explanation of this.

And after much testing, it was found that an average farmer can generate about 20-25 mil inf per hour through drops and vendoring. This does not count market sales as those don't generate inf, but shuffle it around and destroy it some.

Assume the "average" farmer does what amounts to 3 solid hours of farming every day. That one farmer generates 75 mil (using 25 mil for ease of math) a day. Over a week, that's 525 mil.

If we can destroy 1 bil per week as a collective, we "almost" eliminate 2 farmers working fairly hard.

If we look at it from a "normal player" stand point - your average player generates about 50 mil a week (arbitrary number - on average, this seems about right) through kills at various levels.

If we apply the 1 bil a week against normal players, we are able to directly remove what 20 people do in a week.

As you can see, its a drop in the bucket, but its a step in the right direction regardless.

Funny thing is - I wouldn't buy the prestige to get my own base the porters (the sole intention of building that base in the first place). But I seem to have no problem dropping some cash on a project like this. What does that say about me? O.o

I did the entrance. Chaos... "elaborated on it". Then he went to town on the rest of the base. I hereby disavow any knowledge of any decorating that may or may not have occurred today.


Official Request:

After 4 months I STILL don't remember how to get around blue side efficiently without porters.

Please include porters for the lazy and inept such as myself. kgo! Thanks!

Here! Good luck!

I felt it was most fitting to create a character named after my global. On an RP server, that just makes for good solid fun!

Nothing like being "Misaligned"
