    I would enjoy reading an example and how a display of bid and sell amounts would frequently cause both a buyer and seller to benefit more than they do now from using off market transactions. Examples need to include the current "best offer" and current "best bid".
    for the seller-buyer transacation: seller goes to market. knows what said drop is worth and doesn't see any best bids anywhere near that. player goes off market with goods.

    for buyer-seller transaction: buyer goes to market to get that special 2b+ io/recipe. buyer sees 1,000 bids at 2b. buyer goes off market to purchase without waiting in a line that won't fill until the yr 2269(this number is an obvious exageration).

    does that make it easier for you to understand now?

    who really cares? there are tons of other ways to store it.

    Let's say, for example, that you have found a Respec Recipe that regularly sells for 200,000,000 Inf. Sadly, you only have enough Inf to list it for 1 million. If there was a system in place that showed you the current highest bid you would know when there is a current outstanding bid for 200,000,000 or something close and acceptable to you. Then, when you saw there was such a bid, you'd be able to post your item with a reserve price of 1 and know you'd still receive 200M or whatever that "something close and acceptable to you" amount was.

    Someone should make a suggestion so that people who found valuable items but don't have the Inf for listing fees wouldn't have to gamble and pray that a current outstanding bid was high. **EDIT** THIS COMMENT MAY CONTAIN DRY WIT**
    why would someone be stupid and put it up for 1? and how can someone not have listing fees to list it for at least 10-100,00? this is not a good idea at all for the market as has been explained several times to you that it will kill the market by driving almost all sales outside of the market.

    2: Pistol Whip; a melee attack; you smack the target with one pistol, then shoot them as they fly away with the other. Smash/Lethal/Knockback., 7: Point Blank Fire; a heavy melee attack; similar animation to ExecutionerÂ’s Shot but melee ranged with multiple shots.
    no matter how many times you tell yourself firing a gun from point blank range is a melee attack, well, i just don't know how to say this any clearer but, firing a gun at any distance is still a ranged attack.

    also, try not to bring a "quick and dirty" power set to the table. try to flesh it out a bit more and give some numbers to try to make it easier to discuss the set and if anything would make it worthy of adding /proliferating.
  5. ...and my thoughts are now summed up. i hope you understand what i was saying. if not, NO!










    pssstt..... did you guys see what i did there?
  6. pretty much... it's called learn to use the search function. this idea has been shot down several times within the last 8-10 months.

    Now, from the other perspective, I sat down and calculated the maximum price of a level 50 SO build. Our character is Sure Shot, a hypothetical empathy defender who hates to miss and objects to ED as a matter of principle. Sure Shot slots all of his healing powers with 6 Heal SOs, and all of his attacks with 6 Accuracy, and wants everything at peak +2 performance. He has 27 basic slots and 67 placeable slots to fill.

    Sure Shot is spending just under 17 million inf. ((27+67)*3*60,000 = 16,920,000). This is the costliest possible pre-i9 build. (I'm not figuring out the failure of the chance to combine, or the fact that many SOs are less expensive than accuracy and heal.) The inf dropped from mobs is designed to make earning this amount of inf something a dedicated player can only do with ABSOLUTELY NO difficulty. Those who use WW/BM only for purchases are indeed going to be hard pressed to afford anything.
    fixt? i hope.....

    FPS problem

    make sure your video card is not overheating. check that the fan is spinning freely and blow any dust out of it and your machine.
  10. because you go from saying that we are heroes who shouldn't have to profit off of everything to you wanting rewards.

    this is not WoW or any of those other games that have no imagination to expand sideways instead of up. this game is all about alts. the DEVS have even STATED on these forums in one of these types of posts that THEY DO NOT WANT TO INCREASE the level cap. they would rather refine what we have and add more to the areas that need attention. a level cap IS NOT ONE OF THEM.

    I would add outlevelled Mayhem/Safeguard missions to the list, however I have a better idea for that that I have been kicking around in my head and will post another time.
    hey, wait, come back. i'm intrigued. i want to know more of what you speak. please don't leave me hanging like someone stole the last few pages of my book...

    SG idea for GR

    no... i think. this doesn't even look like a suggestion. maybe i missed something?
  13. heres another question... if everyone sees this and starts bidding the same thing to get the best price, how long are they going to have to wait for their bid to fill? and if the buyer sees this and sees that there are no bids worth placing whatever he has in the market, how long before everything starts getting sold in the underground?

    and your point?
  15. no offense taken. it's the internet for god sakes :P . but seriously, i know MA is made of of a lot of various styles, and i do support more options. i was just giving my opinion on why i probably wouldn't use the animations.
  16. you won't be able to finish if they fall off the map or spawn outside it. well, unless you restart the mish. but keep your fingers crossed next time.
  17. thank you rachel. and yes bambi, i do agree with you that a level cap raise is NOT what we want. and if you had bothered reading the whole thread you would have seen that i did quite a few posts about how raising the level cap is wrong in all ways.
  18. i do agree with the current ones looking bad. and i wasn't saying that a new punch animation would be bad. just trying to spark up some good, non heated debate about it.

    To Lewis, awesome idea, man. I'll be checking it out sometime!
    i wasn't saying anything was wrong with it, just wondered. thats all.
  20. i don't know anyone who would switch sides with a totaly min/max toon and respec it for nothing.
  21. i know this is going to sound bad, but maybe because with the alternate animations there are already enough punches in the set without making it look like a street fighting set. martial arts isn't all about punching. and when i think of martial arts, i think of high flying kicking arm blocking fun.
  22. ok, i gotta ask, why not just use mids hero designer? granted some of the numbers may be off, but it has everything you need.
  23. i complete it everytime. it just happens that sometimes an npc from a patrol will fall through a hole in the map or just spawn outside the map.
  24. well, i hate to bring up the negative here, but this just makes it a lot easier for RMT to get the new peeps. all they have to do is email a trivial amount of infl/inf(prob 10,000-50,000) to a player and tell them that if they would like more to contact them. and we all know new players emails come turned on for everyone and unless they know that they can turn it off we're going to have a problem.

    like i said, i hate to bring this part of it up, but someone had to do it.
