I lost thousands of inf back when thousands of in meant something buying the wrong damn enhc.
LOL
I like the theory of what they were going for, but it's one of those interesting vestiges of a PnP game I s'pect.
renqame them and standardize them until we get around to making the origins meaningful. at that point we can examine changing them back to the nigh incomprehensible jumble they are now. -

comic book physics is a little different iirc
Quote:Anything moving fast enough to burrow through the planet on a more or less straight line and tough enough to actually survive the process would wind hitting with so much kinetic force that you'd have two major ecological disaster areas consisting of hundreds of square miles at both the entry and exit points. The pressure wave alone would destroy anything in the entry zone out to several miles.
But, perhaps the engine of the ship merely pushed the ship on through at a gentle pace and the "exhaust" sealed the hole behind it somewhat? -
Even though I am a VIP player, is there anyway I can get in on the screwing?
Do I hafta switch to premium?
Or can I just get more paragon points and trade them in somewhere?

Why delete a character if I can't get something better?
But I can't tell if I can get a better name until after I delete the character. -

Except for a neutrino traveling from Geneva to Italy 60 nanoseconds faster than light. In an experiment with a 10 nanosecond margin of error. CERN calls for aid in reproducing the experiment after spending several months confirming that, yes, they did measure what they think they did.
If this turns out to be verified, then wow. This is that one barrier that shouldn't be breachable, yet... I hope that this checks out. No clue what practical use it might have, but for now, it's the Lightspeed Barrier that's being challenged and that's awesome enough on its own.

Horror of War isn't too bad, iirc. Been quite a while since I did it though. I think it's like a ~30 min run. iirc idk

Quote:Me too. I tell myself every time that it means the opposite of what it says. That way I can keep it straight.I still find the naming scheme counter-intuitive. Character Unlocks, to me, suggests that they are limited to that character, while Account Unlocks may be used by any character, but the opposite is true. I'm glad I figured this out before I actually used any of my Character Unlocks (not that any of them are especially worth using...).
Quote:Not sure I understand what you're saying...
Character unlock items are limited to whichever character claims them.
Account unlocks appear for all your toons and can be claimed by all your toons ( with the exception of the level 50 incarnate pieces ... ugh )
The ones that all of your characters get are called account items.
Just seems backward. -
Quote:There wasn't a shortage until someone bought a lot of them. idk the exact amount, but it went from like 150 for sale to like 16 between times I checked. The prices went up from around 150ish to closer to 300ish. It happened relatively quickly so I am sure that it was the result of someone(s) deliberate actions and not blind market forces.(As far as the artificial jacking up of prices: I think someone started it and a bunch of people jumped on the bandwagon. I didn't start the shortage but I made money off it.)
I had been sharing the niche with one or more other players for a while. Playing nicely with others I thought. I just copied their bid price and let the buys fall where they would.
I am pretty sure that someone with very deep pockets, even by market forum standards, dabbled the prices to nearly double by creating a scarcity.
I moved into a different niche since I couldn't get any respecs for what I was willing to pay for them. But, I left a hundred or so bids out for when the wind changes direction. Damn, when did I have enough inf to do that?
Last I looked, the # for sale was creeping back up toward triple digits and the sale prices had broken 200 on their way down.
And someone recently tried to corner a niche that I have an interest in. They gave me billions trying to do so. But, they stopped short of depleting my supply. And, from what I can tell, there're at least 2 or 3 others with similarly sized interests in the same niche.
meta-marketeering? What do you call that aspect of the game? -

I don't know that the purples will change so much.
I do see the respecs coming back down already. Of course, they were artificially jacked up by someone(s). -

Quote:That was the impression that I got about MARTy too. It was created so that they wouldn't have to monkey with things that may or may not have unintended side effects on "legitimate play"Sorry, Devs, wrong move.
At +1/x4, enough foes spawn in an 'ambush farm' with rezzers to hit the Ticket cap. With this new brake, all one has to do is set the mission for +1/x8, or +2/x5, or some combination to make up for lack of rezzers.
This is what MARTy was for... so you wouldn't have to muck up the mechanics for regular play. Now valid arcs with rezzers are going to be seen as punishment because of their lowered rewards.
Please take this out and screw down MARTy a bit tighter in the MA.
