    "CoH is dying cause I can't find a level 35-50 team! Everyone is in AP, PO, Mercy, Cap etc!!"

    I think I will avoid the forums and stay in the tailors.

    My shade has been in play for around 125 hours at level 50 as of last night and I only have 10 more purples to get and one LotG +Recharge to finish his build.

    Only the pre-self-defeated crowd can't do it and the ridiculously impatient think that is too long.

    The real question is once I get done what am I going to do when he hits 2 billion influence?

    And, well, all the other awesome bits, too.
    I don't know where I will start first. This is a huge issue as far as affecting almost every character plus all the other goodies.

    I may just go down the list one by one.

    Just curious

    Maintenance tomorrow morning was announced.

    I'm not sure this qualifies as marketeering, but I made 1 billion influence in 9 days playing my warshade (casually of course) by running Unai's "To Save a Thousand Worlds" through Ouroboros (about 5 times) and selling my drops where they made the most.

    Some recipes that meant NPC vendoring. Some recipes it meant crafting them and selling. I only got 3 really nice rare recipes from my merits. I got 3 nice purples (I killed a lot of foes) and I got 4 lamer ones but the difference between selling the recipes and selling the enhancments was quite a bit.

    The generated volume required me to quick sell the salvage by listing it for 1 or 2 and getting back to the missions.

    I can tell you during that time I found several recipes with many for sale and no one bidding with a last 5 laughably low but the enhancement was worth millions.

    Market Slowdown?

    We need I16 to launch to get those people back in here.

    Market Slowdown?

    Possible slowdown causes:
    1. End of summer results in some returning to school
    2. Champions Online just launched and some may be checking that out
    3. I16 is in open beta so some may be hanging out there

    Yes, but still people are managing to make their way onto mine.
  11. And if someone still needs an idea of how to get damage when defense based, just make a second build without defense.

    Sorry about that, old chap. Can't be helped. Progress and whatnot, you know.



    (Finally my own "proof of ebil" #9 post. Been wanting to post it for a while, but decided I should get my main to 2 bil, and then decided to wait a few more days for my main villain to hit 1 bil (for the 2nd time). ^_^ )
    I know you are joking and if I thought it would do any good I'd post my warshade's progress towards all his purples without market games but the market haters can't read/think so I don't feel like wasting my time with them.

    Gratz on your mega billions.

    And who to kill.

    What if?

    Mandatory lobotomies would fix it better.
  15. All I can add to this is when my warshade exemps below level 8, the level 11 KB prot turns off. It is in Absorption which they get at level 1. But my level 33 Devastation: Chance to Hold always works as long as I have the power it is in.

    Salvage Issues

    Re: current price on Nevermelting Ice

    I've been dumping all my commons for 255 including nevermelting ice all week and I can tell you all you're going to have to be above 40k to get them because that is what I have gotten every time.

    You'd be better off running a mission in MA and random rolling for them if 40k is too steep.
  17. I have never needed this abilty but I have always been afraid I would.

    So yes, please, let us respec these vet power choices.

    Wouldn't you agree that lack of teams,or teaming is destroying the game too?
    You can't read. People are writing no forced teaming or penalties for not teaming.

    The game is not being destroyed as long as ideas like yours do not get implemented.
  19. I laughed because I wasn't expecting that for an answer.

    Would you send Bruce any way? Please?

    I've found that it isn't really worth the trouble trying to save common and uncommon salvage unless I'm going to use it soon. Influence is pretty easy to come by, so I don't worry too much about having to re-buy something recently sold, even at a significant loss. Annoying, but I'd find trying to precisely juggle salvage even more so.

    Though that does get harder when some of the prices have gotten out of control. Even people with way too much influence should not pay 100,000 for common tech salvage.
    Do you mean they should not or that they should not have to? AE tickets would explain why it has happened and is a ready alternative to the inf challenged.

    1. He's posting in the wrong section.

    I read your rant. There is nothing in it for US players to do about it. There is nothing new or interesting in your rant that hasn't been posted ad nauseum for the past couple years.

    Your inability to see the difference between a forum where players ask other players questions versus the suggestions and ideas forum is amusing. That you think you had a proposal in your post is amusing. Your rant is not.
