What some people are saying is they will re-roll certain toons completely from scratch.

For example: "I made toon X as a tank (or defender) but I really prefer Brutes (or Corrs). Now that I can take a Brute (or Corr) Blue side I am remaking toon X as a Brute (or Corr) and taking him blue at level 20.", or vice versa.

They are going to use the AT's to reimagine their toons in a way that feels closer to their personal concept.

I don't believe I said anything about finding teams being difficult on Champion. Quite the opposite. That is why I set up shop here as my second "home" server. Well, that and Tanker Teusday had a big hand in luring me in.

I also have to agree with seldom, I probably spend 75% of my time redside and do not forsee it becoming a wasteland. The slightly lower population really doesn't bother me as it is. I still manage to run what I want to run and find the overall competency of play to be slightly higher redside. I am intersted to see how some of the blue side AT's fair solo against some of the high end Vill content.

LMAO....that is classic.

While I have missed his forum contributes. Knowing he is still here is enough because I know that means good things are to come.

Agreed, except for the round I thought using my Stone tank would be a good idea.

I would likely add toons to Champion much like I did during the first round of transfers and perhaps another server that is not Virtue/Freedom. I rather enjoy having two "home" servers.

As far as moving toons between sides, pretty much all my heroes and damaged or vengeful in some way so they will be comfortable in the grey area. A couple of my vills, namely my main family on Tri are pure evil and will stay that way. I do plan on keeping a couple heroes pure but that could change if the hinted at bonuses for remaining true to one side are not as good as being able to do everything.

I like the sound of this. I know we cannot say with any certainty and this is all speculation but I think the possibility (however remote) of a behind the scenes move like this to be very interesting.

Hmmm.. I kinda took her comments to mean Wentworth's would have access to supply currently on and further generated redside and the Blackmarket would have the same from blue side. Unless there is a massive influx of new players, I am not sure the supply supposedly generated by players in Preatoria would be new so much as shifting the supply source from Blue and Red to grey, volume will likely remain about the same.

Ok, bit of a rough day for me. I usually don't take stuff like that personally. Just didn't see who else, of the peeps that had responded, you could be talking about.

I'm not but thanks for the ridicule...I did not come here to accuse anyone of conspiracy...I simply asked for some input concerning a topic I found intersting that has been mentioned in other threads.

Adeon, do you think the game needs an INF sink?

I am asking this stuff because I consider myself a pretty casual market user. I Keep 2 heroes and 2 vills relatively stocked up on cash to act as sugar daddy's for my alts. By stocked up I mean I try not to let them fall below 100 mil in cash on hand. The most any one of them has had is 400 mil. This seems to keep most of my alts well built between 2 servers and 2 accounts. Not totally purpled out or full of PvP IO's but more than capable of completing all the game content. I am comfortable with my market use and talk of seeding has me wondering if I would have to change my approach.

If the devs decide to implement some form of seeding program because, as you said, it could be an effective infamy sink, will it really make a difference in how people use the market? and would it be better or worse for the game economy?

I have seen this mentioned more than a couple times now and I am intrigued by how this might be handled by the devs and reacted to by the players.

If you have a Hecatomb for sale, will you be mad if the devs seed one for 10 mil less than your asking price and undercut you? Granted, you will likely never know but that is Inf you may have needed and is now lost along with a potential buyer.

or

Will the devs simply seed undersupplied stocks of salvage to keep supply liquid and skim Inf off of the pool at the same time?

You mean I can get rid of some of the 16 salvage bins I have in 3 bases redside, on Triumph alone, and put something aesthetically pleasing in those bases...DOUBLE WIN!!!

My hoarding behavior will be dificult to overcome. I am very used to having lowbie characters drop the salvage to make lvl 20-25 heal, damage, acc, recharge, and end reduction regular IO's in storage so one of my 50's can craft them for the lowbies to use later.

I am happy with this impending change and think it will be good for the game as a whole.

This whole post has me a tad confused. How are you defining "markets"? The hero and villain markets? The market for each individual item that is capable of being listed?? Also, isn't liquidity somewhat base on a random number generator to create drops, so to a certain extent the liquidity of really rare items is a bit random. Not sure what your "obvious" stated problem is or what your "obvious" solution is.

Meh, maybe, maybe not. For the vast majority of stuff, I really do not look so much at the last 5 bids as I do at the number available and the number bidding for a given item. The last 5 items can often include somebody that needed it "RIGHTNOW" and overpaid to get it. It is not a fairness issue so much as a patience issue for most people. They simply cannot wait long enough to see if their bid is successful, so they get frustrated and go away in a huff hating the market.

What is a "hassle cost"? I really have no idea what you are trying to get at here. What is your definition of a "low value item" and why does the system encourage players to spend large amounts of time dealing with items of little value???

Perhaps because they are not problems...somebody go get the Goat. I am sure he would be better able to address this.

Yes to the first sentence. Waving away the second sentence like it didnt happen at all.

Any RP reason against this is full of equally obvious holes. Your RP is not greater than anyone elses RP.

Maybe not your problems but it works for me...

While this is all well and good DJ and I may actually attend now that I am aware of its existence. I failed to find the part listing the Devs that will be attending and any topics/info they would be discussing. I think its a bit apples to oranges...and the New York choice is still Bullpucky.

Sounds good. I have never had a complaint from leaving stuff like Nemesis Staff in a match like this, but it can leave certain people at a disadvantage if they have not been playing very long and have none of those vet powers yet.

Pardon me good sir, I am quite offended that you would sully the good name of my favorite malt beverage by including in a sentence referring to the misery that is Champions Online. You wound me...GOOD DAY SIR!!!







me likey Schlitz....

I really hope they still make the "In July" that is mentioned here and seems to have been the goal for some time now, but with the San Diego ComiCon Dev Panel happening on July 22nd to discuss the "impending" release of GR, I am starting to have my doubts.

and Ocho needs to change his name to Slowmo...I had a link to this posted yesterday in the San Diego announcement discussion...people crave the info Slowmo...let's stay on the ball.





*much love to Ocho....just having a little fun.

Possibly, but I would have reserved my nerdrage for another topic if they had chosen say Atlanta, Dallas or even Europe (someplace NEW) let alone Indy or Chicago where I could attend. Unfortunately they chose to go back to an area where it is very feasible for people to get a double dip. This is like saying "Hey, good news! We will be in San Fransisco AND San Jose! Come see us!" It's Bullpucky...

This comment makes me want to vomit and is why I am not a Cubs fan...

They got their love in Boston...now they get sloppy seconds too.
