A Simple QoL thing. When you drop a recipe into the market then click 'find' to see what the going price is, the display should show the recipe's fully created enhancement bidding prices along with recipe's prices (not recipe only, as it currently does)

Right now, you have to re-type in the Recipe's name to see the enhancement value. I'm pretty handy with backspacing to the base recipe name, but even so, I could see this being a good simple QoL feature for all Marketeers.

Finally, if there's a way to do what I'm suggesting already without reeinterining Recipe Name in your search box, tell me how, please.

My 3 lvl 50 Mains, with Sprint and Ninja Run turned on, have run and jump speeds of 60+mph (my MA/SR Scrapper, with Quickness, runs at 67mph - and 90mph with Elude on!) and they all can jump higher and further than one would think.

Ex: I like to use the Wentworths in Steel Canyon cuz it's right next to the University for easy buying, selling and crafting. After crafting, I'll leave the University, run toward the building toward the front and right (as you exit), Leap Once, land on building top, Leap again toward Wents and after 2nd landing I'm only a few steps from the Entrance.

It's plenty good for a travel power.

I recall Lord Xenite planning an Ironman 'homage' using a PB. Xenite, if you have a looksee here tell us how that went.

I don't have 2nd Tier Nerve Radial yet, so I know that didn't contribute, but I had very good defense already (via IO slotting, having all special MM def/resist uniques slotted in gangwar, plus Personal Force Field and Maneuvers running)

My pets had decent accuracy already (Thugs had Soulbound Allegiance full purple set, other pets have full IO sets as well), plus I run Tactics.

Here's a sample number: Leiutenant Accuracy without Nerve: 1.62. With: 1.92

Yeah, I wouldn't have thought the above would have made that huge a difference either, but I know the difference between personally faceplanting twice and completing the same mission with only thugs dying a few times. *Shrug* I dunno... like I suggested, maybe the programming dice just rolled well for me.

My MM can cruise thru just about anything at +8, but those Arachnos were giving me some problems (and Peacebringer mobs do as well *snicker*). I'll try these a few more times to get a good feel.

Regardless, due to pets conning lower than just about everything they fight, I suggest Nerve Incarnate slot to any MasterMind and give them some Accuracy to offset it.

Yeah, encountered this a while back. I've got a macro to make my Arsonist not rush off and get killed as often. It's tied to his name, 'Matchwork', and so it doesn't work well when one of my non-Arsonist thugs becomes 'Matchwork'.

So, I just recently got my thugs/traps MM to 50, and I could plug along at +8 fairly well against most enemy types, but Arachnos was giving me fits. I had this mish in RWZ full of Arachnos that was causing me more than one hospital visit (and I refuse to lower the difficulty - sometimes overcoming a challenge is part of the fun).

So, mid mish I get a Shard Drop that enables me to convert for the last piece to get my Tier 1 Incarnate. I figure the Nerve would boost the accuracy of my Pets, so I immediatley select that and slot it, and look at my enchancement window to see the results - it was a pretty significant jump.

So, I reset the mish to see what difference it would make. And what a difference - I slaughtered those Arachnos like it was spider hunter season! I seriosly couldn't believe an global enhanced accuracy boost would make that huge of a difference, although with Tier 1 pets at level 48 and Teir 2's at level 49 I guess an accuracy boost to better hit higher conning mobs might make some sense. But that much...wow!

I'm gonna test this some more, but basically I'm wondering if it's really that good or if I just had a lucky mish run. Seriously, Teir 1 Nerve seemed to turn to the mish from very difficult to a typical one, bordering on easy. Has anyone else experienced this jump in effectiveness by having Nerve slotted?

I tend to play one character at a time for extended periods, so I don't have many alts. I now have 5 50s.

My first 50 was a MA/SR Scrapper named Mrs. Smith (intended to be a female version of Agent Smith from the Matrix). Started her in spring 2008 and got to 50 in about 3 months.

With HEATs unlocked, I immediatley started a Peacebringer, Socorro. She also took about 3 months. She was then my main/badger for months where my goal was to load her down with as many purples, accolades, and other uber-stuff as possible.

Finally started getting a little tired of her and decided to give redside a try. Started a SS/WP Brute, Kimber Lee Luster. With a few starts and stops she finally also got to 50. I'm guessing it took 6 months.

During those lulls I also pushed the first character I ever made, an SS/Inv Tanker, Eliakim, to 50. She was started at CoH launch and I got her to around lvl 8 then before taking a 3 year hiatus. Playing her off and on after resubbing, I guess it took about 4 years to get to 50.

Noticing my trend towards 'punchy' characters (and female), I decided to do something really different during the short spells when I wasn't playing any of the above. So I started a male Thugs/Traps MM, Jack Caleb. Playing intermittently, I just got him to a few days ago, then I robbed my PB of all her Purples and Loaded him up. Probably took about a year for him

Since level 50, I've changed Mrs. Smith to male and renamed him Tanhauser. I also changed my Tanker Eliakim to male but kept the name.

With Incarnate/end game stuff coming, I see playing the above 5 (4 really, I likely won't play my PB again until they get a buff and/or customization) for a long time, thus it'll be a real long time before I get another 50

Yeah, I'm able to chug along perfectly well using vet power attacks, which I suppose is a gift horse. Even so, I'd rather use my Thugs MM's pistol attacks to supplement my minions instead of Sands of Mu, Black Wand etc, as Pistols are more thematic. But Vet Attacks hit much harder and cost zero slots - it's a no brainer which to use. As I'm approaching 50 I'm getting two of the attacks anyway to slot purples in but I haven't needed them in forever.

I'm have no problem with MM attacks being weaker, but I shouldn't feel like I'm shorthanding myself for picking them at all

I can see the bonuses when hovering over powers in the enhancement window - thanks for that tip. So, even though these bonuses aren't 'global', for certain bonuses I should expect the see the effects of them in the combat window were applicable, correct?

Ex: I have Energy Defense around 30% when I have all my toggles on. If I get the 2nd tier Nerve Alpha (with defense bonus) I should see this percentage go up in the combat window due to the powers that produce that number having their effects enhanced. Sound about right?

My Peacebringer. Hate doesn't apply, but I can't bring myself to play her anymore. Loved her for quite a while and lavished gifts on her (lots of purples and other killers IOs), but finally decided to quit ignoring the obvious:

1) Solo she wasn't the best performer, even though she was pimped out to the max. +0/+4 settings is about all she can handle without constant faceplanting.
2) Being on teams... Yes, I teamed a fair amount (CoH has lots of nice cordial people), but I often felt like the redheaded stepchild, tolerated by most, annoying to some, but allowed to come along anyway.

I solo a good bit as I have odd playing hours, so my new main is a solo friendly Brute (chugging along at +8 easily and collecting shards like candy) and is very welcome on teams. Wow...if only my PB felt half as fulfilling.

I won't delete my PB - there's too much history. But I'm currently robbing her of all her IO sets (which of my other alts will get her last 4 purple sets...Hmmmm)

I got the Spiritual Uncommon for my Brute (Recharge Bonus). Without it, I already have high recharge (77.50% - 147.50% with hasten). When I slot the Alpha Spiritual, I'm not noticing any extra recharge (I even timed the recharge on a few powers with my comp's clock), nor can I see any of its effects in the combat window or power info.

So, what do you think is happening? Am I not timing things right (hard to see how I could be messing that up, but maybe...)? Am I at ED Recharge cap (all of my powers are slotted with IO sets of some kind, and I didn't think global recharge added to the ED cap)? How can I tell?

I'm going for Nerve Uncommon 2nd tier to get a defense bonus and see if that's noticeable (or viewable in combat window), but basically I'm wondering if something is wrong or if these bonuses just down show up that much on heavily IOd toons.

Finally, I know I have the Alpha slotted correctly, I see its Icon in my active powers lists.

Suggestions? Musings?

Just to chime in that I'm in full agreement that PBs need a buff of some kind.

My all-Human PB was my main for almost 2 years. In that time, she was stacked to the gills. 6-full Purples sets, Numinas, LotGs, Miracles, all Useful accolades... you get the idea. She was very powerful and had her moments.

I started really noticing differences, though, when the ability to radically adjust you toon's mission difficulty came about.

My Uber-PB had trouble soloing +0/+4 missions. I solo alot - and really wanted to tackle giant mobs others were doing. Yeah, I could keep it at +3 or so, but those large mobs are a big lure...

On teams (yeah Khelds are team ATs, I know) her stats (via Cosmic Balance) went thru the roof. But one day I ran a couple missions with a team and a Tanker and Scrapper started with that 'KB Whining'. I'd long sinced learned how to handle my KB; Running to the edge of mobs for Solar Flare (and only getting half of the minions you normally get by doing so), positioning so I'll knock in to walls... Even so, you're gonna have a stray mob go somewhere on occasion no matter what you do.

I'd leveled up several other toons to 50 and all of them could solo better than my pimped out PB (3 do +8 easily). None them of them cause whining when on a team. Disclaimer: by far most teams were fine with my PB, but then I was always overly careful with KB. Either way: extra careful or risk upsetting others...after a couple years it can simply start to grate a bit.

So, my PB is now in retirement. I've gutted 2 of her purple sets for my alts, alont with all the other good IOs, and my MM is probably about to get the other 4 purple sets.

PBs:
* Can solo, but other ATs not nearly as tricked out as her can do it better
* Can team, but requires extra care most ATs don't have to worry about...and you *will* run into whiners at some point regardless.
* Do not have Dev priority, evidenced by no ability to customize power colors, longstanding bugs like the Cysts issue, etc...

None of the above is a huge deal, despite the tone of my post, but this is a game I play for fun, and other ATs, all things considered, is simply more fun to me. I'll never delete my PB, and if someday the AT gets some real love, I may bring her back out of retirement (likely getting all this IOs my other toons stole from her

Yup, one more who 'misunderstood'! I don't really get why we can't do vigilante tips in the Rogue Isles (unless it's some tech reason - and if so, fix it!). My Vigilante Brute would prefer spending more time there hunting down the 'uber baddies' in the Isles than in Paragon.

Oh well...

Yeah, this has come up before. I'd really love this - I signed it then and I'll sign it now
