And still not searching for prior threads on his pet topics. Someone else can go get Bill's cut'n'paste answer to merging the servers/how to find teams.

No.

Loving my ignore list so much again.

Not just that, but it also included text you might have typed up to that point. It wasn't uncommon to see people saying "wwwwwwweeeeeqqqqeqwesssssdsdadddHi" in globals.

This still happens.

What I don't understand is why they allow rare and uncommon salvage to be purchased specifically, but common salvage is a roll. If the intent was to make common salvage the most expensive as far as price goes, this makes sense, but when I think "rare", I figure this is something that should be pricey- particularly when compared to "common" salvage. Well, unless we're talking about a steak.

Wouldn't it make more sense to have common salvage something you can buy specifically, and the rare salvage to be something which must be rolled for?

[/ QUOTE ]

I'd guess, right offhand, the roll for common salvage is:
(a) so it simulates (somewhat) regular mission drops, and
(b) like regular mission drops, feeds the market (and storage bins.)

Uncommons... just aren't used as much, or really have quite so big an impact marketwise. And rares are pricey.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not anymore.

Many uncommons are way up so now it is worth taking them to the market. Some are still below vendor prices but many are 100k or more.

I was buying Deific Weapons for 300-400k now instead of 3-4M.

I'm kind of enjoying the current state of the markets as a roller coaster ride but since the markets were always a place I went to sell my excesses and buy what I lacked not a place to game inf my opinion on it likely differs from many pro-market people.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess an animal forms summoner like a Druid. I think he dreams big.

If you did that, then it would be obvious that you were padding, the real trick is to pad but make it look natural.

[/ QUOTE ]

Exactly.

[/ QUOTE ]

I concur.

[/ QUOTE ]

Does anyone remember before there was the Forum Games section a weekly thread (on Thursdays I believe) for the PCPA (post count padders anonymous)?

I like the idea though I am not sure how the multiple buffing would really work out in PvP.

what does it matter to you how someone else plays their game? you are not being forced into doing anything in the game. you have multiple options how to play your toons. seriously we don't need another " AE is the Devil" thread. this is the FoTM. it will die down. go play the game the way you want and stop trying to tell people how to play.

[/ QUOTE ]

It doesn't matter what an individual does as long as it doesn't infringe on the rights of over individuals. Since architect is removing a vast majority of the population of players into farms, increasing the price of salvage and will lead to people quitting the game further reducing the population of the game, then as a whole, architect is effecting other players.

[/ QUOTE ]

Salvage prices? Is this a joke? You either get it as a drop and can sell it for a fortune or you can easily get tickets in non-farm AE stuff and get your own cheap.

I was listing stuff for 12 all weekend and people were still paying 50k or more when they didn't have to.

Salvage prices are not an issue to anyone who has a clue.

I agree they need to do something because it is way too easy.

Perhaps they should prevent maps from spawning only one enemy only and not allow rangeless powersets to be both primary and secondary for custom critters.

CAPS LOCK = CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL

[/ QUOTE ]

DAMN RIGHT IT IS!!!

But yeah, seriously and all that.. /Unsigned to this hideously stupid idea.

[/ QUOTE ]

People can sell their drops for the inf so new people who ought to be getting the hang of the game can easily afford DOs and SOs which we never could before the markets without someone sugar daddying.

Also with MA tickets can easily generate common salvage like Luck Charms or even roll for the Alchemical Silver range and get even more.

There is no problem for someone who can make a small amount of effort and realize they can sell as well as buy in a market. I think new players to the game will do better than old vets who cannot seem to figure out that the markets are not the NPC stores.

[ QUOTE ]
Is this a joke post?

[/ QUOTE ]

No. It just shows how great our game is that the devs time traveled to implement this suggestion.

[ QUOTE ]
No

[/ QUOTE ]

Adding use merits/tickets or get your own as drops.

I know what you're saying, but I'm thinking they have a good reason to put it the way it is. And I will reiterate:

"I think it's fine as is, and any work to "improve" by allowing some powers is unneeded."

[/ QUOTE ]

I understand what you mean. A clean sweep was easier and why chance messing it up.

My answer: Because it's just annoying. "QoL"

Alternatively they could move the tutorial contact closer to the door. That would be enough for me and would allow me to ignore the room in general, which is what I plan to do.



[/ QUOTE ]

I like the power suppression the way it is as well, but moving the contact next to the door is a good idea.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, moving the contact would be good though I don't think I will bother with the tutorial any more.

[ QUOTE ]
It would depend on the amount... both for if I'd consider it, and if they would.

I probably would. *shrug*

[/ QUOTE ]

Same.

I'm glad to see a positive response to the pack. The high collar cape & hood from the 2nd pic, is also available for the female. Enjoy!

I cannot wait to have it.

[ QUOTE ]
WANT.

[/ QUOTE ]

NOW!

It's just dumb luck.

I've gotten purples in missions back to back and then gone many months without seeing one.

I've gotten about 15 or so purples to drop but only 2 respec recipes but I still am not willing to assume their drop rate is lower than purples simply because they are so rare. It is tempting from my own experience but I also know that is not a reliable method.

Yep.

[ QUOTE ]
*looks at the steady rate luck charms and other salvage have gone up.*


[/ QUOTE ]

Bill,

This is flat out untrue. They have their spikes but fall back to the normal prices after in game events driving the spikes. Every time.

Luck Charms, as one example, sometimes spike up to 70k but then fall back to 50k-60k.

Perhaps at one time in the long distant past they were under 50k regularly but they have not continued to go up and up.

So there is no steady rate. Never has been.

[ QUOTE ]

Perhaps you should try a dictionary instead of an economic formula. And realize, again, that these bits of salvage and recipes are not manufactured and shipped items, and have no cost to recoup.

[/ QUOTE ]

Time.

Bill if you and your SG are not using the market because of what you see, I would have to say I will trust my experiences with it over your theories about it.

The red market is a mess because it lacked users for far too long and players reacted accordingly.

I don't think merging would cause a behavioral change at this point after nearly 2 years of its complete suckage but I haven't seen anything you have written about the markets that holds water to my experiences in both of them.

[ QUOTE ]
Costumes are absolutely a separate pool. I have gotten both an IO recipie and a costume recipie from the same kill.

[/ QUOTE ]

Pool E - minions only. Lieutenants, Bosses, EBs and AVs will not.

That means this was the love child of you and Uber. Think about that!
