    I would say a level 50 common recipe is probably the best thing we can now drop on the new lowbies in Atlas Park since it can sell anywhere for what will seem like quite a bit to them.

    I have a Santa outfit for those deliveries.

    I was asking him to elaborate on what fault he thinks I have relating to this topic.



    p.s. - I said - "Still think it's stupid" which is completely different from "your stupid"




    anything else I can explain for you?
    I know what the expression means. I wrote I didn't know what he meant. I explained my posts.

    However since your post is insulting I think we have found your glass house situation.

    Heck, there're probably ones for various levels of 2B storage on fake market bids.

    What you have to ask yourself is are you playing that game where inf is the scoring (which is fine) or are you like me where you accumulated it as an amusement but you'd much rather spend it on stuff to pew pew and smash smash.

    Now if you have 2B or more saved to buy stuff that still falls into the category I am in but at a higher level of purchasing.
  8. I'm not sure what glass house Fulmen's was referring to.

    I was surprised someone who posted what you posted in this thread consisting of those 2 meaningless little tidbits would expect someone else to elaborate in their posts.

    Apparently you have some arbitrary personal rules about posts and to consider a glass house comment insulting or abusive. Why?

    [edit add] I believe more people would consider your use of "stupid" to fall under insulting though.

    This is correct.

    You may still accidentally overbid to your heart's discontent.
  11. Before ED you could have a spectacular build or a horrible build depending on how you slotted your SOs.

    Before IOs you could have a good build or a horrible build depending on how you slotted your SOs.

    Since IOs, now more than over half of the game's entire lifespan (May 2007-) the options are much more varied.

    1. Crappy build no IOs can save because someone just picks and chooses and doesn't pay any attention.

    2. Good build that can gain benefits from IOs.

    3. Awesome build designed for particular IOs.

    Assuming most people are in category 2 or 3 because if they are in category 1 they may as well at least use Mids to design a respec to category 2, let's continue on.

    In category 2 we will assume the baseline of competent slotting of SOs. This is what my level 50s before I9 came out, a dark melee/inv scrapper and a bots/ff mastermind, fall in. I upgraded them to common IOs exactly replacing their SOs and saw only a marginal improvement because of ED.

    They could handle most enemies on the old highest setting which would now be +2/x1.

    Next up I have some characters who came along after I9 and are slotted for specific IOs benefits to beef them up.

    They can handle more difficulty.

    And finally my casually purpled warshade (I spent a year on doing it). He easily mows through more difficulty. I don't bother to crank it up more because that isn't my objective.

    Comparison wise my first group bought their gear from a vendor, the second group has done a small amount of raiding and the warshade is raiding all the time.

    Seems fairly comparable to WoW to me.

    Congratulations!

    It's a hard task for those of us who like to spend it as much as we like to make it.

    That depends on why the lag was there and why it is decreasing. It may not mean the interface is working better it might mean it is simply working less which would crash and burn if usage increases.

    I am pretty sure that is standard operating procedure for a certain type of inTeRnet pOsting LoLer that many have lumped him under the category of.
  16. My 2 cents. I'll never do another /FF mastermind. Sure it is great but I was so bored most of the time. When I finally got my patron powers I at least felt like I was playing but it still was very boring for me. I like to be active beyond just directing the pets.
  17. If you have Going Rogue pre-purchase I would echo another vote for demons as the primary. If not, I would say bots are definitely easiest to use for a first time MM.

    While you indicate this is your first MM it is hard to suggest some of the secondaries without knowing if you have played a defender, corruptor or even a controller with some of the secondary options.

    If not, Traps is definitely a good way to go. I prefer Dark and Storm but they are not a good choice for someone not familiar with using those sets.

    I agree. The motivation for such a change must be the items not thinking it will counter the over 2 billion value of PvP IOs (for one example).

    Too bad you cannot easily pop a birthday hat on Positron in Steel Canyon.

    So I'd only have to worry about heroes who PvP and are on my server? No problem.
  23. I propose only villains can gamble and if we win we get to steal stuff from Wentworths.

    That would be the rock singing. I figure if you had trained a rock to sing you ought to be happy but then you had to go for broke to have it learn to fly and sing at the same time.
