Well, there's 6 different pieces, each available from level 30-50, so that's 21x6=126 possible pieces. He didn't say which one.

It was probably a 50, so your odds are still 1:6, if it was, but that's no guarantee.

*Looks at Dual Pistols example characters.*

*Looks up Crimson and Indigo on the wiki.*

Y'know.... That's believable....

I'd reply to this, but I already have him on ignore. :P

Not a bug. Weapon sets are customized on the costume screen, where you pick your weapon; they never have any options on the power customization screen.

Better hope that Ulli doesn't notice your cookie breath....

Not familiar with that, at least by that name. What is/was it?

Would you rather they not give them to us at all, until Going Rogue comes out?

Either way, Dual Pistols and Demon Summoning will only be available to those with GR (or a preorder code). Anyone with just a base CoH/V account won't have access to them.

No, this is the 211634th thread on this forum. Many threads have been deleted since the forums were created.

Not only rules-breaking ones; ones that go too long without new activity are auto-deleted, unless they are flagged to be saved.

I spend more per month on Fast Food than I do on City of Heroes.

That is depressing.

But Hami-/Hydra-/Crystal Titan-O's don't.

Only if you take the passives and slot them. Another reason to take them.

Hyperbolic, but serious. Nowhere in real life do I, or anyone else, have the ability to repeat an action which generates both materials and money out of thin air, with no cost to anyone except time.

In real life, to get a hamburger, you need to buy land, clear land, buy cows, feed and water cows (which requires a separate production cycle), send cows to the slaughterhouse, send the sides of beef to the butcher, send the meat to a packing plant, send the hamburger patties to a restaurant, repeat similar steps for each other ingredient, and then have someone at the restaurant make the hamburger. Money would be spent at each point, and I'd never accidentally get something I needed to make fried chicken, or sushi, for example - I'd have to get those separately, through the same method.

In City of Heroes, I would punch Skulls until one dropped a [Bun], another dropped a [Hamburger Patty], a third dropped a [Hamburger Toppings], and another dropped [Recipe: Hamburger]. I would get paid for each Skull I beat up, whether he dropped a useful item or not, and if he dropped [Recipe: Fried Chicken] or [Sushi Rice], I could sell those for extra money or save them for later use. Once I had all the items, I would have to pay a crafting fee to make the hamburger, but that would likely cost less than the money I received from a fraction of the Skulls I beat up.

Yes, Supply and Demand, and other real-world economics theories can be applied to the game, but when we have infinite resources that can be infinitely reproduced at no cost, and we get paid to produce them, a lot of the parallels end up being tangental, at best.

All they have to do is set a fee for mailing items, either a fixed amount, or something based off the vendor price o the item. Prices would have to be added to the list for non-vedorable items.

What flaws? My example was an exact description of the way the City of Heroes market works, except that the winning bid isn't ENTIRELY random; there are ways to influence it that I didn't touch on.

If a simpler way of saying it would make it easier for you:

There is demand for pieces of the Crushing Impact set. Some people want it at low levels, and will only buy it there. Some want it at high levels, and will only buy it there. These people are irrelevant to the discussion, because they only create demand at one specific level. A third group, however, just wants the set, and doesn't care what level the set is at. THESE PEOPLE CREATE DEMAND AT THE LEVEL 50 RANGE, BECAUSE THEY DON'T CARE WHAT LEVEL IT IS, AND LEVEL 50 IS WHERE THE SUPPLY IS. Because the supply is there, and they want it now, and they don't care what level they get, they go for the level with the most availability.

Nobody is saying "There's more supply of Sting of the Manticore than Luck of the Gambler, so people buy Sting instead." We're saying "There's more available of the same recipe at a different level range, so people go to that level range to have a better chance of getting it."

However, your too busy singing "lalala I can't hear you!" with your head up your ***, to even consider that this makes sense.

Also, stop trying to use real-world economics in a debate about the market. Unless you know how to kill someone and rip Clockwork Gears and Hamidon Goo out of the corpses to sell on a world-wide consignment house, it really doesn't apply. At all.

Performance Shifter doesn't work wrong, but it does give end to the target. It's meant to add an extra bonus to targets of Accelerate Metabolism, Speed Boost, and the like. Unfortunately, this also means that it gives End to the target of attacks, if placed in one.

Please note that I didn't say that it does give End to the enemy, but that I don't know, and was telling you how to check.

The Theft of Essence proc is intended to go into an attack, and is therefore keyed to fire on the caster. It depends on whether Panacea says "gives End to target" or "Gives End to self". If it says "to target", it will give the End to enemies, not you.

When a trial expires, the characters still aren't deleted. They sit there forever, unless you activate the account with a box set or game card and then manually delete them.

Save for glitches, no character should ever be deleted without a user logging in and hitting the "Delete" button.
