Myriad

It's not a display bug and it's impossible that the bids were set by mistake, like Mandur12 already explained. And I don't think someone is trying to manipulate the market either, not at this price. And if whoever set these bids took a quick glance at the sales history he knew that he was bidding more than 3 times the ammount necessary. Maybe someone intended to prove or demonstrate something. It really is a bit mysterious. But I'm not here to complain about it.

Hmm... not sure you still want to hear advice about your build. I hope you don't mind if I comment on a few things.

Gale: Well, if you really intend to play solo all the time this is of course better than O2. But not much because you won't use Gale often especially with the low accuracy you have. I strongly recommend to take O2 instead and slot that with a single recharge. O2 is not only a heal but removes some status effects and protects from them, too.
Steamy Mist: Get a Kismet unique and slot it here. Yes, I know it costs. But you really need more accuracy in your build.
Freezing Rain: There's no need to slot this for slow imho. Especially on a Storm/Ice. You could drop both slow triples and replace them with a single generic recharge IO.
Hover: Do you intend to use Hover as your primary movement power? And if so why did you take Fly? Unless you have a specific reason for slotting Hover the way you did (other than IO bonusses) you should change it. This is a great power to slot a Karma:KB protection (as an alternative you could slot a Steadfast Protection:KB protection in Steamy Mist but it would cost you another enhancement slot). Mag 4 KB protection is really helpful and you should invest the influence needed to get it. Personally I would rather play a SO build with KB protection than a IO build without.
Tornado: I don't think the Archilles' Heel proc in Tornado will help much. Tornado is too unreliable imho. I would either switch it for something with damage or remove the slot and use it somewhere else.
Bitter Freeze Ray: The Cast Time of this power is too long to be good. If you want the hold you should take Shocking Bolt instead. If you want more DPS put another slot into Ice Bolt. The only good usage of BFR is to use it as an opener when you have all 3 ST holds and when you try to hold a Boss. If it misses you still have two fast ST holds which gives you a reasonable chance to hold the Boss fast enough.
Electric Fence: Considering that you probably won't be using this often with 2 holds available I'd say it's overslotted with 4 slots.

There is more, but the other things I see would start to make it more expensive.

Very clever remark. I love it.
Thanks for a new sig.

Pre-existing L50s can make the switch. The devs statements you want for proof exist but I'm not going to do your work and search for them now. Either you simply believe me or look it up yourself or hope for someone else to provide such a statement.

Did you try it recently?
I was on a LGTF team yesterday and we ran into a wall when we tried to kill the green mitos. Two Controllers were not enough to hold them and our damage was enough to kill Dra'Gon in 10 seconds or so but not enough to even dent a green mito. I assume Newty had Rad and or Dark Defenders/Corrs on the team. I don't see how his (her?) team could have provided the necessary DPS otherwise. Stargazer and Arcanaville made some calculations about this and it seems you need roughly 1800 DPS before debuffs to kill a green mito. That is 225 DPS per character on a team of eight which is not trivial. With my scrapper I might be able to do this IF the target is on the ground. If only one team member cannot help for whatever reasons the necessary DPS per team member of the remaining seven raises to 257 which I cannot do even under optimal circumstances.

EDIT: One of our Controllers was a Kin, the other had Trick Arrow as a secondary powerset. The team had 1 tank, 2 brutes, 1 scrapper, 1 widow, 2 controllers and 1 blaster.

4 GiB is enough for most people and all current games afaik (there are some special cases where 6 GiB will give a small advantage, though). If you intend to work with large pictures in Photoshop you'll notice an increase in performance if you add more RAM, especially if you want to run other software in the background (an internet browser with many tabs open will need a lot of RAM, for example) .

The reason that 4 GiB is (still) more or less the standard is that 32-bit MS Windows can only address 3.5 GiB. You need a 64-bit OS if you want to use more RAM.

The reason for the performance issues when using 3 RAM sticks is that you can't use dual channel mode properly any more (the exception is a socket-1366 system which supports triple channel mode). However, with modern systems the performance drop is not necessarily large.

Mixing different types of RAM sticks is possible but can lead to stability issues if you aren't careful with the BIOS settings. Basically you need to set everything to go with the specs of the slowest RAM sticks.

I think you could view this from a different perspective as well. I used to dump common and uncommon salvage into the market always listing the stuff for 1 inf. With the new market UI I sell more and more often at vendors instead. However, sometimes I need salvage to build an IO and then I buy it from the market. If I had the option to store common and uncommon salvage in meaningful quantities I would do so thus minimizing the need to buy from the market which would diminish market demand a bit. In other words, if I store salvage it wouldn't affect the market directly because this salvage doesn't show up on the market anyway. And if I stop buying from the market the stuff is still there for another one to buy it. And I could avoid our current market UI and with it much frustration. Probably I will do this anyway when I finished IOing my current projects. Of course, if everyone would do this the market would die very fast.

This will not help. I usually wait several seconds between clicking the buy or sell button (and not because I like waiting ). Most of the time this is long enough for the phantom actions to disappear again. However, sometimes all these phantom actions - although I saw them vanish - suddenly come back and get real. Had this happen on buy and sell orders and lost a few million inf because of this. Actually I think I'm lucky that it was only a few million ... could have been a few hundred million inf easily (had a stack of expensive recipes stored at one of these times).

When you notice that you have market UI lag you should be really really careful or better avoid the market at all.

Well, today I joined a ITF team and me and some other people had Leadership auras. And my character was fully IOed. The lines in the Combat Attribute window were jumping so fast and so extreme that I couldn't read anything nor could I switch to another section. Just wasn't able to hit the correct space with my mouse. (No team member was moving when I tried to check the combat attributes.)

Yes, this usually works. Might need some time, though. Last time I got stuck (today) I rotated and jumped for 2 minutes or so. And /stuck doesn't work, like DarkGob said. The bug is definitely not fixed.

You forgot style. When it comes to that Scrappers always win.

However, I wouldn't complain if Scrapper numbers were a little better when compared to Brutes.

I think you're too kind here. Even someone who never played CoX before should be able to design a better interface. It's not like they had to reinvent the wheel. There are many examples out there to learn form. Or learn from our old UI. It was not great, but it was still better than the new one in many aspects. Actually it should be enough to take a look at MS Explorer or Mozilla Thunderbird to get hints. Or take a step back and just look at your monitor and ask yourself whether a screen resolution that has more horizontal than vertical pixels should affect the UI desgin.

It's almost worse to see that there are good ideas in the new UI. They're just so poorly implemented that I disabled all I could (not much) and wish I could disable the rest. It's painfully obvious that we have the tech to build a really nice UI. I just wish we had someone who could and would do it.

It's some kind of user interface lag. From my experience it's tied to server load and/or the number of player characters in your surrounding. It might help a bit to monitor the market messages in the chat window and to wait a bit between clicking buttons. However, I still had it happen that I bought multiple items instead of the single one I wanted or getting my buttons greyed out when I clicked multiple times to retrive a single item from WW. Generally I try to avoid the market during peak hours now.

No, both of you were clear enough. I guess I wasn't clear enough to make my point. Sorry about that.

I was unter the impression that this:
was a fix to a bug that came with I17 simply because I didn't see people talking about it before I17 and I never experienced it myself before I17. Whereas the first post by Castle in this thread indicates that the bug is at least as old as the LGTF.
My problem with this and the source of my confusion is the fact that the LGTF worked before I17. And it seems to be broken now. If I read and understood everything we had permaheld Mitos that healed other Mitos before and have unheld Mitos that heal other Mitos now. So what exactly makes the LGTF harder now? Mito Resistance is from an Auto power, so that shouldn't be suppressed when held. Again, no change here, so what makes it harder now? I would go and check it out myself, but it seems the LGTF is not very popular atm, couldn't find or build a team so far.

Are you sure about the numbers? Wouldn't it mean that one Controller is enough to hold a green Mito during a Hami raid? My last Hami raid was too long ago, but I think I remember that we needed to stack multiple holds to stop green Mitos. And wouldn't it mean that LGTF Mitos were never able to heal themselves or other Mitos? Something they actually did.

What if Hami Mitos were -3 (base) -50 (buff) = -53 and LGTF Mitos were Hami Mitos with a lower base (-2 instead of -3)? They would have been -2 -50 +50 = -2 before the "fix" and -2 -50 -50 = -102 now. I have no clue to what the original numbers are, I'm just guessing here and trying to include what I have seen and experienced during Hami raids and LFTG runs.

I'm a bit confused by what you say here. Mitos in the LGTF and in the Hami raid are the same thing except that they're lowered from AV to Lt. status? Does this mean the mitos in the Hami raid are buffed by this "fix", too? And wouldn't it implicate that the level of mez protection was set to be a raid challenge instead of being a TF killer?

And another thing bothers and confuses me as well. All this talk about green Mitos permaholding themselves. I might be completely wrong about it, but wouldn't a held green Mito stop healing itself and other Mitos? I have done the LGTF often before I17 and I have seen the green Mitos at work.

Btw, what is the mez protection level for regular Mitos? If it's true, that the LGTF Mitos are the same as the raid Mitos, is it possible, that the -50 was set to be added (or subtracted) to what is set for the raid Mito to make it easier to defeat them? Like as if they were in a weakened state?

Well, Iggy just said "to improve it some more". I had no clear goals and didn't see any obvious problems. So I tried to get some improvements in with as little sacrifice as possible. I'm not a fan of SoW either, for the same reasons you already mentioned. So I decided to drop it to be able to take Tactics. The drop in regen was something I accepted, too. Although in retrospect I could have left the Numina IOs in RttC to minimize the regen drop and still have more net recovery than before.
I added defense especially to F/C to bring it in line with the other types plus ~1% resistence overall. More recovery is always nice, I think, and more recharge won't hurt. I didn't analyze the vid to figure out the attack chain used, so I stayed away from the attacks (except for a minor tweak).
If it were my Kat/WP the build would probably look a bit more like Wuiglys build. And unlike Iggy I always include the Glad.Armor unique when I try to build for defense (then again, I have only 3 characters with defense builds so far, so I only needed 3 of them, I guess that makes it easier and cheaper compared to someone with more alts ).

Very nice build!

Here are my suggestions. I assume you'll like them.

I sacrificed 3 HP/s regen and 1.7% Res:Psi (and a lot of influence) but I believe it was totally worth it.

This has nothing to do with the Tournament badge, not even with Arena badges in general. And neither of you describes something that seems to be a bug or related to a bug. You have to finish a TF to get the badge for it. If you get it any other way it's very likely that this would be a bug. And like the vast majority of badges they're tied to the character who completed the TF and are NOT awarded account based.

But it's a PvP badge and we all know that PvP is ignored after nerfs.


Btw, someone told me that they got the Tournament badge recently (after I17), so I assume this issue doesn't affect all people. I will test some more things when I have the time, maybe I get lucky and find something.

There's already a recent Spines/WP thread (you posted in it). Instead of explaining what I think is wrong in your build I'd like to suggest to forget about your current build (it's not good imho, only expensive) go back to that thread, take the lastest build from Atago and include the suggestions I posted there. When you have done that, you can start adjusting it to include Hasten if you want that, and maybe purple IOs if you find some that make the build better.

Hmm... considering your forum registration date you might be new to CoH (in which case I'd like to say welcome ). If that's the case you probably don't have the influence needed to buy all the shinies anyway (the build you posted would cost several billion inf). Consider playing with standard enhancers for a while to learn more about the strengths and weaknesses of your powers.

Btw, I would really like to know how you thought you could take Stealth if you drop SoW.

My 2ct based on the latest build:

Lunge: Needs more accuracy. I would try to get a triple into it (i.e. Acc/End/Rchg).
HPT: I would remove all 3 Impervious Skin. They add only 2.15% to res plus the HP. Totally not worth it imho. You could slot the Steadfast Protection unique here, though.
Spine Burst: ok
MoB: ok
Kick: I would take this later in the build.
Impale: Either 4 or 6 slot this with Enfeebled Operation. I would go for 6 slots.
Indomitable Will: I think I would try to get a LotG: Def/End into this. This is optional.
FH: Put the Miracle and Numina uniques into this power. Also a good place to slot the Reg.Tissue unique (6 slot it if you want to add this).
Tough: I would take this later in the build (after QR).
RttC: Remove the uniques and put them in FH. I would 3-slot this with Miracle IOs.
Quills: Ok, i think. End cost should be manageable with QR+Stamina.
QR: Slot this with Performance Shifter if possible (check for a conflict with too many HP bonusses of the same kind). At least remove one of the EndMod/* and replace it with a Performance Shifter +End proc. The 10% regen is not as big as you might think and the extra end is probably needed.
Weave: ok
Air Superiority: Drop this power and take Hover instead (unless you can take Fly at L6). Slot Brawl with the Kinetic Combat set and put a LotG:+7.5% recharge into Hover (would be the 5th in your build) and if possible add the Kismet unique.
Ripper: ok
Heightened Senses: Add a LotG: Def/End
Combat Jumping: ok
Throw Spines: ok
Swift: I would slot this with a Flight enhancer to increase fly speed.
Health: ok
Stamina: See QR above - and I would try to get this sooner.
BU: I would drop all 3 Gaussians and replace them with 1 or 2 basic recharge IOs.
Fly: I would take this as soon as possible (to use it as my main travel power - if you intend to use Ninja Run you could even think about not taking it at all)
SoW: Optional - SoW is nice to have but not really great.
