    I'd agree with this. At 75k you'll get 1.5 mill for every 20 you sell. Use that 20 on a random roll and odds are you'll get salvage that will sell for 2-5 million. The down side is that you might get a low level piece, and those sell for much less. Still, the odds are in your favor as there are only 12 pieces of rare low level, and 24 pieces of rare mid and high level.

  3. They're using the original version of Vengeance, where you had to die for it to activate.

    Interesting, I never noticed that before. Anyway, it's just smashing and lethal. Less resistance than some other epic pools, but always on instead of a toggle.

    The second - for Cryo Freeze Ray/Sleep Grenade/LRM Rocket what does your character pull out? Is it the same weapon for them all or do they all use separate models?
    I don't know about the freeze ray, but the LRM rocket uses the gun I have set for my Assault Rifle. Sleep Grenade probably doesn't pull out a weapon, instead using the throw grenade animation, though I'm just guessing on that.
  5. I believe that the bar doesn't show credit for the fires, only for the hellions. I know for the last fire badge, the bar fills up quickly with the hellion kills, but nothing for the fires.

    If you hit the fire with the extinguisher, you got credit for it (you've done 10% damage), it just doesn't show up anywhere.

    One sneaky thing to do is to hit each fire once, then start working on putting them out. You'll get the badges much faster that way.
  6. Doesn't matter. As long as you hit it with the extinguisher once or twice, you'll get credit for it.

    Help

    From his duplicate post, it sounds like he's got the game installed ok. It's sounds more like a old computer/not enough ram/old graphic card type problem.
  8. You do realize that you're posting to a thread that that's been dead for over a month?

    Just pointing out that the market is cross server (though not cross faction) and such pricing has nothing to do with the activity level on any single server.

    The wiki page on them is a good place to start.

    Also, what are IOs again?

    In addition to the fact that the Help channel is *still* broken when the chat box is set to use it.

    DrMike2000 doesn't really mean turning off the click power. More accurately, it would turn off the Auto-fire on the click power.

    Also, using the autofire function instead of directly activating the power means that you wouldn't get the annoying "power not recharged" sound every time you moved forward.

    Contacts

    Pretty much any contact added after Issue 2 onward. Contacts in The Hollows, any of the Shard zones, Striga, Croatoa, Faultline or RWZ (because they were redone), Cimerora, and PVP zones. That's just off the top of my head, could be more I missed.
  15. From Wiki article

    "Missions that call for a "signature character" such as (say) Aurora Borealis or Anti-Matter will spawn that character as an Elite Boss or Archvillain depending on real (not adjusted) team size, as listed below."

    See chart.
  16. What level are you, and what level are you fighting? Two Acc SOs of at least even level should be plenty for most situations.

    Also, open up your combat numbers monitor and check your last tohit chance to make sure that you're actually not hitting and it's not just perception playing tricks on you.

    You might also look into getting ToHit Bonuses instead of Accuracy bonuses. Check out the Kismet: Accuracy IO and Tactics.

    Just pointing out that, no, you don't break even. There's a minimum of 5 infl to list it, and another 5 infl once you sell it. To break even, you have to sell it for 10 infl.

    But referring a friend has the bonus of giving you a free month if your friend subscribes for a month. A much better deal.

    Comic-Con 2010

    The Con's hotel reservation system opened up today. It took me 4 minutes to get through their system. Which, in a way is good, because in the past it has taken me 30-60 minutes to get through, the system is pounded so hard. But now I have to wait for an email to see what I get out of the 12 hotels I listed. I've got nothing to show for if their system crashed, which has me a bit worried.

    So here's hoping. Good luck to anyone else trying today (but not better luck than me )

    Actually, there is no check, it simply respawns. You could have it down to 1 hp at the 19 minute, 59 second mark, and it will disappear and a completely new, full health flier will spawn at the 20 minute mark.
