    Nothing can cross from hero to villain or vice-versa. It would get dirty.
    Apparently you can send yourself stuff. Not sure about /gfriending though.

    MI, you may want to consider changing that setting to "Globals and SG" only. I too have to go and undo my email settings.

    Emails with attachments can only be sent to a Global name.

    Valid attachments are Enhancements, Salvage, Recipes and Inspirations if they are tradeable (buyable on AH). One per email. Inf can be sent alongside item.

    There will be 20 mail cap to inbox. Mails sent to full mailbox will bounce (bounced mails can exceed cap). If you are at the cap you cannot send mails.

    Items with attachments cannot be deleted until attachment is claimed. They can be returned to sender.
    Just stashing this away
  6. I don't know, but it is annoying when I have to move my entire MM team to a new rock. Somebody always gets shot.
  7. My turn. I didn't find out about this until midway through an ITF last night, so I apologize for being late to the party
    • Epic archetypes are now unlocked at level 20.
    Why 20? to me that seems rather low. Seriously, you can hit level 20 in a day. Make 'em earn it. Move it to 35.
    • Animated character tails.
    YES!
    • New missions, new badges, and new player emotes.
    Interesting. Reserving judgment until later.
    • Quality of life enhancements to the UI and game systems.
    OK
    • Improvements and additions to Mission Architect.
    Maybe I might be tempted to make something in it again

    Silver Mantis Strike Force Update: The Silver Mantis Strike Force will now be available to all Villains, not just supergroups. You now can access the Silver Mantis Strike Force via Silver Mantis, located in Sharkhead Isle. You can also run this Task Force from your supergroup computer.
    This I have been begging for for years. Thank you Dev team. You are finally putting that little minx on a street corner like she deserves to be. There's gonna be a lot of happy Construction workers in Sharkhead

    Quote:
    Positron Task Force Update: This Task Force has been split into two halves and dramatically upgraded and updated to ramp up the fun. The final battle of the Task Force takes place in the Faultline Dam and incorporates the new Dark Mirror enemy.
    OK. What are the merits going to be like?

    Quote:
    Craftable Temporary Powers: You will now have a much cleaner and more consistent way of finding and crafting temporary powers.

    What will be done about the current ones? Will the empowerment stations be getting "looked at"? This is smelling like that salvage revamp



    Quote:

    Increased Mission Count: You can now have seven active missions (previously three).

    That's cool
    Quote:

    Show Last Objective: This UI improvement lets you find your last objective on a mission map, making it easier to find something you've missed.

    YAY! but will it show you that last pesky critter that is stuck in a wall?


    Quote:

    Auction House: The UI gives you new options for sorting search results, your Auction House inventory is now separated by clearly marked tabs based on the item's status, the Auction House text entry box now autocompletes, and a single click on a recipe displays all salvage needed for that recipe.

    This concerns me. Often, I am subjected to huge lag spikes, disconnects and crashes when I visit the market. With the new UI changes, is anything being done about the existing bugs?


    Quote:

    In-Game E-mail: You can now use in-game e-mails to send Influence/Infamy to your own characters or to other players' characters via in-game e-mails. (You still cannot send Influence, Infamy, or items from a Hero to a Villain or vice versa.)
    OK. I wish this had come about a long time ago.

    I am pretty impressed on the whole, now where is a link to GR Pre-order???

    Dual Pistols ST

    Sounds interesting, but I plan on having my DP/Mental at 50 before Praetoria comes out. The damage as a Corruptor and Defender is very underwhelming, so I may end up with just the one.

    Mass Effect 2

    I did not get the latest ones, but the version that I got had Two extra armors and extra weapons. For the Armors, they were there from the first time that I was able to change clothes (the "closet" thingy before you get introduced to the Illusive Man). For the weapons, I had to find them. I have the Collector edition, so I didn't get them until my first encounter with the Collectors on the first run. The second run, they were still there.

    So, to be clear, the Hami raid is an alternating blue/red rotation? Blue this week? I'll try to make it.

    Yeah. There were a few people that were saddened that raids were not held more regularly, so we are making an effort to do so.

    Oh and Smite, ignore the Neg rep Ninja. It will drive you crazy if you let it.

    I'll setup another one soon, but have people committed to Sunday.

    As with the last one, we will run the RSF first, and take it from there.

    Meet up by the Arbiter in GV for RSF. As people drop, I will holler in globals. the last one was pretty fast.
  12. Great raid everyone. We did very well with what we had. Now that I know what to do, I think I can do a better job targeting if I am needed to. I've just gotta build my Dom better.

    Thanks for coming everyone.

    I will join you if someone suggests that supply isn't lower redside for things like recipes. But I think most people will agree with that, even the ebil marketeers. Salvage, on the other hand, is much cheaper. I love that part of redside... I don't have to pay through the nose to make recipes, and I can actually have lowbies afford to make their own accuracy enhancements, as Luck Charms don't cost you an arm and a leg (which is what it feels like at low levels blueside).

    I'm not a marketeer, either. I don't like taking risks. I tend to save up my merits to buy an expensive recipe and either use it or sell it, rather than rolling... even though I know I could make more money rolling (though my knowledge of how bad my luck is suggests otherwise). Tokyo's "buy a LOTG +recharge and sell it for cash" thing worked for my Stalker. I had maybe 1/3 of the enhancements I needed on him before doing the same thing, and I was able to buy the rest in a space of a few weeks afterwards... and I have a good chunk of the money left over, too.

    Quite a bit, I still have about 10 50's left to slot. Of all of my toons, I have 5 (7) fully slotted with IO's.

    Stone/Fire Brute Dual built to the gills on IO's
    Widow
    SS/Stone Brute
    DB/Stone Brute
    Axe/Shield Brute with two IO builds.

    Partially slotted

    NRG/Rad corr
    Ice/Kin corr
    Bots/Traps mm

    Waiting for IO's

    Dark/Will Scrap
    NRG/Fire Blaster
    Thugs/dark MM
    Rad/Dark Def
    Fire/Cold Corr
    Ice/Fire Dom
    Stone/NRG Dom
    Bots/Bubbles MM
    SS/Will Brute
    Mace/Shield Brute
    Elec/kin Corr

    I DO have a problem getting the items that I need red side from the market. I am lucky, I run tons of SF's, so I can always use merits other people are not so lucky. Yes I have seen the work of the "ebil marketeers". I have watched common salvage go through the roof because someone found a niche to exploit. I'm guilty of it myself at times. I will watch the suppy of Hami-O's dry up, then I will dump a bunch on the market at a slightly inflated price, and get it (escpecially for membranes).

    Selling one thing to buy another only works when there is supply. I find that quite often the supply is close to zero or things are outside what I am willing to pay for the items that I covet.
  15. The bad thing is that I want to be one of the hunters.

    What do you feel is right with it? This is really a curiosity question. I'm not looking for debate or to start fighting. I really want to know what it is that people feel is good about the red market.

    For me, its nice that it is bare when I am trying to sell, but horrid when I am looking to buy. I'm cheap, and have a lot of toons that need stuff, so I hoarde enough that I have to visit the market rarely.
  17. Vega

    Go to Redside.

    I've been watching this thread for a little while, and I have to ask this.

    What makes people think that the villain market is fine? Really, I want to know. What is it about the villain side market that is fine? Prices? nope. Item availability?

    I sure haven't seen it.

    Real quick check on some items needed for a couple of toons


    Numi + Regen. lvl 30 57 bids 5 for sale. Last sale 251 mil Red side
    Numi + Regen. lvl 30 99 bids 3 for sale. Last sale 150 mil Blue side

    LOTG 7.5 lvl 30 42 bids 0 for sale. Last sale 155 mil Red side
    LOTG 7.5 lvl 30 38 bids 2 for sale. Last sale 101 mil Blue side

    LOTG Def lvl 25 8 bids 0 for sale. Last sale 100 mil Red side
    LOTG Def lvl 25 33 bids 2 for sale. Last sale 10 mil Blue side


    Nucleolus 44 bids 4 for sale. Last sale 100 mil Red
    Nucleoulus 1 bid 1 for sale. Last sale 45 mil Blue side.

    Comparisons as of 2:00pm EST on 2-18-10

    I see a discrepancy
  18. OK.

    I had no idea about last week's activity though
  19. We ran one in July, so why not do it again.

    Please step up for an all VEAT SF. What's the plan you say? Well, we plan on running:

    Quote:
    Lord Recluse 45 to 50 25 Merits
    Virgil Tarikoss 15 to 20 12 Merits
    Silver Mantis 20 to 25 38 Merits
    Operative Renault 25 to 30 22 Merits
    Ice Mistral 35 to 40 25 Merits
    on Feb 21 (the day after Hami) at 3PM EST 12PST.

    For the RSF, grab some nukes and Shivans, because we are just going to bum rush the final 8.

    So far

    Who else wants to join the party?

    (new thread, because the taggers did not like the title of the last)

    That's the quote
  21. Vega

    Sooo...

    Anyone interested in doing another VEAT SF day?
  22. March 29.

    I figure that will still allow them to make first quarter before releasing GR at the end of April.

  24. OK, this one I should be around for. I'll most likely be heading up the MM team.
