So I just had a brute hit 50...

Axe/shield. Really needs a level 50 respec; strip off some IO's for storage, IO out, and improve the build (second slot to health for numina/miracle proc (very bad on endurance), drop grant cover and maybe the base attack for kick/tough).

But was talking on irc with Viking and thinking... Wait till I18?

Markets are going to merge. Prices should drop blue side but rise red side from this. However, since everyone is going to be tooling around low levels in Petoria, supply for high level is going to drop for a bit.

Up in the air on dropping cash for IO sets or not now.

"What's the rush?" is what I would ask myself. If you are planning on playing this toon quite a bit in the very near future and got the cash to burn, then burn it.

Otherwise, I would just lowball bid what you need and then sit on those bids. You may get stuff on other toons in the meantime and just email it to the brute. Plus you can't count on everyone in low levels. There will be players that either: ding 50 the next day GR comes out or just don't care about GR.

Well, got all the level 50 capped sf's and respec to run, wouldn't mind getting things improved out nwo.

Maybe respec and just replace any stripped IO's w/ SO's.

all the market history is also going to be erased, so the prices will eventually turn out as you said, but there's probably going to be a long period of flux before that happens.

I'd say just throw out a lot of lowbids for now and GR, see if you can abuse the blank history a bit.

Yeah, Ele is right about the history wipe and just wait it out.

Unless you are maxing out the diff on all those SF's/Trials, you'll be fine as you know (especially with Voo following/healing/buffing/veng'ing/rezzing you).
I never understood IWANTNOW!!! bidding for IOs unless you had some very specific plans/activities you wanted to do with a toon, like PvP.

This is news to you?

RE: Your brute -
a) It's going to take a lot more than a massive respec to make it fun and playable as long as you are behind the wheel
2) You're probably never going to play it again once the SFs are out of the way
and à ) I would be *shocked* if you did play it *and* took it blue side


RE: Market -

There won't be a blue and red side for one. It won't just be "mass people" playing lowbies in Praet-town affecting supply/demand. It's more than just the market; it's cross-faction trading. I don't know about you, but I got 600+ set IO pieces blue side in my base because I'm a hoarder and no heroes I plan on changing anytime soon to use them; a lot will be going red side. I got 80+ HOs sitting on other servers on characters I don't even play and I think 4 HOs red side; I would believe I'm a tiny drop in a giant bucket of potential to flood the market, but I don't really see "demand" shooting up all that much. Prices should come down eventually as a whole; while demand might rise a little, I envision supply rising more so eventually.

This is one of the negative effects of not having the incarnate system in GR; but I'm hoping that there will be enough players trying to side switch at 47+ that the supply of high level items will still be pouring in.

It would be nice if the Devs would allow non GR purchasers the ability to go rogue or vigilante, this may help with higher level items on the market.

After all the name of the issue is "Shades of Grey".

Meh, I'll be playing lowbies and high levels when GR hits: I doubt I'll be the only one. As for when to buy, you might as well just do it now. Why wait a month when you're playing the character now? Put in some reasonable bids for now and see what you can find.

You can take a risk and wait on merit rolling until GR hits, but I'd say you might as well just do it now. No need to really wait unless you're hardcore into gaming the market.

If they did that, exactly what would Going Rogue consist of? 20 levels in Praetoria and the new sets... that's not enough for a box. We got 10 levels of content in free issues before, and that was 40-50!

One could also look at I18 "Shades of Grey" and say that the market merger and currency standardizations aren't enough to solidify the title.

I18 allows players to run tip missions, I don't see the harm in allowing them to be able to shift their alignment into the "grey" area. I'm assuming there is an area in between fully transitioning to villain or hero, but I may be mistaken about the mechanics. If there is a middle ground and they are already running the content, why not allow them to benefit partially in the reward.

The title for I6 was "Along Came A Spider" I believe, but the only spiders people who didn't buy CoV saw were Arachnos in the PvP zones. The title for these "support" issues is more about the expansion than anything else.

I'm not going to compare I18 with I6 again as I6 had way more content than what we are told I18 will include. That is taking into consideration all that is in the PvP zones (You can ignore ED or include it depending on your outlook).

All I'm saying is there may be a missed opportunity to capitalize on something obvious. However, if the mechanics don't work the way I'm thinking they do, then the point is moot.
