Just linking this reply I had to another thread, before I realized this entire section of the forums existed. Basically, I want the BM changed. It's gettin to the frenzy want to get violent stage. Seriously. It's getting that bad.
We need to start a serious BM overhaul protest. It's starting to be a dealbreaker for me.
It's infuriating, frustrating, clunky, biased, and all around bullmalarky. And no one, no one, can justify differently.
End.
Of.

Do NOT, do NOT Google "BM jacker!"Quote:Originally Posted by Cully
1. Post the sellers GLOBAL name, and any other GLOBAL names their master NC Account pays for.
Desired resolution: This helps track down the farmers and the BM jackers, then everyone that plays the game can refuse to play with the jerk that makes this aspect of the game infuriating to the player base. The community will sort out the bad apples and the devs can easily boot/slap/punish/immolate/draw&quarter the BM Jerks.
I would rather not know about any "BM jackers" in the game. I'd...well..I'd rather that be kept private and not shared with the CoX community. Obviously, ymmv.
I really like the fact that I can sell my recipe drops for lots of inf. Your goal, (I am not sure if these things you've suggested would actually achieve your goal), is tantamount to both a slap in the face and a robbery to me and others who make our money by selling our hard-won drops on the market. Why should I and other players be punished just because you don't defeat enough mobs to get good drops?
Next, the Devs don't seem inclined to think the market is broken in the way that you do, so it's not clear they would be involved in any public shaming of the people who pay the costs for the Devs to have jobs.
Except on some of the more rarely traded items and level ranges which will go from very hard to find to impossible because they will be impossible to sell.Quote:Originally Posted by Cully
2. Make listings time sensitve, 1 week max length, and the price you paid to list it is GONE FOREVER. This will incentivise sellers to put an actual reasonable price on their items instead of just listing something for an inflated price and letting it sit for months. It'll start costing them to try and jerk around the BM so they'll have to drop the prices in order to actually move their stock.
This seems a reasonable request.Quote:Originally Posted by Cully
3. FOR THE AE/BM/UNIVERSITY: Ok seriously, for the love of all that is holy and dear to the world, can you not allow us to have our recipe window open at the same time we're trying to use the AE Ticket Vendor? It... well.. you know... makes sense that I would want the ability to SEE the recipe and required Salvage so I would know what to buy without needing to break out a pencil and notepad first. C'mon now.. Make it EASIER for us to use the game, instead of making it more time consuming and hassling to try and accomplish our goals.
You defeat lots of mobs and you get recipes and you sell and you make the infs and you no feel bad an porr no mor. No more "violent." No mor "frenzy". Infs make all better now.Quote:Originally Posted by Cully
I'm trying to enjoy the game, i really am, but its starting to feel like they're working harder at punishing the player, instead of rewarding them.

But remember, that WP has very little defense debuff resistance, so it doesn't take to much -def to crash your defense. Then your other methods of mitigation have to pick up the slack.
Remember that inspirations drop frequently. Purples last longer than greens.
Running a WP with a tray full of purples is very nice. Here're some binds to make purples

Quote:Except influence and infamy trade on a 1:1 basis now. All publicity is good publicity.Originally Posted by The_Spad_EU
It's a conceptual currency, so it doesn't "come" from anywhere. It's really just "favours" - you help someone out by rescuing them from the Skulls so they owe you and tell their mates how great you are, thus you become more "influential"; the currency isn't backed by anything and in a properly modeled economy, as few Heroes going around being dicks and giving the rest of us a bad rep would lead to a complete collapse of the Inf

I think that a personal market cap would help a great deal and not effect other players and their market experience very much at all.
The Devs should cap the prices for my global. The server could just manufacture w/e difference between the actual listing price of an item and my market cap and pay that to whomever I am buying stuff from.
I get the cheap purples and PvPIOs and the market doesn't get broked from universal market caps.
WINNING! -

Quote:Some marketeers are in favor of price caps because they believe that they will be able to make even more money trading desirable items off market.Originally Posted by Cinkidd
I'm suggesting that it is time to put limits on the items in the market. All of it.
Did you know that the listing of the last five amounts someone was willing to pay isn't actually the price of the common salvage? It's just how much someone was willing to pay. It doesn't mean that everyone who lists there common salvage will list it for the amount listed in the last five.Quote:Originally Posted by Cinkidd
I see common salvage going for 100k inf and that is just crazy. That is like making a loaf of bread cost a $100 in real life.
An important FYI No one who doesn't want to pay exorbitant prices has to pay them. especially not for something as plentiful as common salvageQuote:Originally Posted by Cinkidd
Sure there will be people who pay it and can afford to pay it, but the common player can't.
LOL at those rumors. I am not sure how the logic to that is supposed to go, but, w/e.Quote:Originally Posted by Cinkidd
I sure can't and I've been here since the start of the game. There are rumors out there that the Devs actually make real money by selling inf to the RMTers, I don't believe that. And if it is true, then I need to go find another game.
You do know that thee are other ways, correct?Quote:Originally Posted by Cinkidd
With the new Incarnate powers that are about to be released in order to make some of the required items it costs 400,000,000 inf. You read that right, 400 Million inf.
Did you know that inf made via the market doesn't count toward that badge?Quote:Originally Posted by Cinkidd
My most played character has just gotten the 250,000,000 inf badge after having been made almost seven years ago. I know there are players whose characters have that badge a month after being made, but again the common players don't have that badge for a LONG time.
I know some people with say, "You don't need ULTRA-RARE Purple sets and PVPIO sets to have fun playing the game," but, really? Is that what this game should be, enjoyable with a wide range of builds and enhancements including SOs and vanilla IOs? I want to have fun, I want to feel like I'm advancing and I want to feel powerful. I don't want it to feel like work. I absolutely MUST have the ABSOLUTELY expensive items in the entire game before I can be having fun and enjoying the game play. I know I THOUGHT I was having fun playin CoX before the Purple and PvPIOS were introduced, but I now know that I wasn't.Quote:Originally Posted by Cinkidd
I know some people with say "Play the market, you can make money that way." or "Run AE missions use your tickets to buy rare salvage and sell it, you'll make a billion real fast." really? Is that what this game should be, work? I want to have fun, I want to feel like I'm advancing and I want to feel powerful, but I don't want it to start feeling like work.
At these prices, the market would be bought out and all of the purples would be traded off market. Soon, NO ONE would be able to buy these things from the market if these price caps were enacted.Quote:Originally Posted by Cinkidd
Please put set prices for the items in the market. Here is my suggestion:
Uncrafted:
Common IO Recipe or Salvage: 1,000 inf
Uncommon IO Recipe or Salvage: 100,000 inf
Rare IO Recipe or Salvage: 1,000,000 inf
Purple: IO Recipe: 10,000,000 inf
Crafted:
Common IO: 10,000 inf
Uncommon IO: 500,000 inf
Rare IO: 5,000,000 inf
Purple IO: 50,000,000 inf -
If the booster pack allowed for some sort of private base--perhaps with some limited storage—maybe one salvage and one enhancement rack or something—limited transporter access—maybe one or two TPs—and then maybe a choice of either a med bay or empowerment station, it would open the base experience up to a very wide range of players.
It would help if these private bases were accessible from the larger SG bases so that members of VGs wouldn't miss out on the benefits. Instead of actually adding it to the base, it may be simpler and cleaner to put only an entrance to all the private rooms in a VG base. You would click on the entrance to the private bases and then be able to choose which one you were going to enter—your own or one of your team mates or one of you VG mates. -
Quote:Where's the guide to buying new computers? Someone should link to that too.Originally Posted by Hyperstrike
Huh?
I can sum my own howto up into two sentences.
Download and run two programs.
Paste the output from those programs here into your thread so people can dissect them and maybe tell you what's wrong.
Okay three.
NO HACKING INVOLVED.
How exactly is that horrendous? It quite literally takes longer to SUMMARIZE it than it does to actually DO it.
It's spelled out in excruciating detail in the HOWTO with the thought that some readers may not be very computer literate. So it's best to stick with simple, but exacting instructions.

Quote:I would like a new one too, please.Originally Posted by Blue_Centurion
Not to put to fine a point on it, but I think i would prefer to buy a new computer than try to do everything that set of instructions asked me to do. I play the game for fun, and that looks like a wasted afternoon of computer hacking.
The info gained from following those procedureswhich actually aren't all that onerousmakes it possible for you to get useful help and suggestions from the forum in the least amount of time.
Buying a new computer is a good idea too. -

Quote:My experience w/ Stone Melee is that lvl50 mobs now behave as lvl 49 mobs used to in re KBOriginally Posted by dave_p
Forgot to mention, I find zero KB, only KD, using something like the epic Energy Torrent (not the blaster kind) on my level shifted scrappers. Haven't shifted my Axe tank or anyone similar, but as long as I'm fighting 50s (whose minions will con blue to me), I experiece no KB. In fact, I made a point to ask ppl w/KD powers, after level shifting, to see if they experienced KB right after I19.5 and no one had any problems. If FS is causing KB to *lvl 50* mobs, I'd /bug it (haven't level-shifted my own WP/SS yet so can't test myself).

Quote:What if one part of the booster was the ability to have your own room in your current SGs base?Originally Posted by Hyperstrike
One reason why this won't happen.
Bases are, ostensibly a COMMUNITY resource. Adding all sorts of *schwing!* in there for a booster? How do people who don't use the booster use the stuff? How do they perceive this stuff if they can't use it? If one guy buys it is it good for everyone in the SG? Or do you have people without it become second class citizens?
And another part would be to allow for a demi-base of sorts for toon w/o a SG, perhaps with some sort of limited storage capacity, and with some other perks similar to current bases but lesser ones. -
One could use the difficulty slider to alleviate this problem.

Quote:For w/e your settings are, there are spawns of mobe who are a little above or below what you have it set on. That's why I use +1 x8. that way I get 0 lvl49 mobs. Whereas with +0 I get some 49 mobs.Originally Posted by Sailboat
Kitsune is right. As has always been the case, all farming for drops is always most efficient at the lowest practical difficulty (usually +0 due to the undesirability of lvl 49 drops). The people who fight at +2, +4 or whatever are either PLing or banking prestige (I suppose they could be farming influence/infamy, but not efficiently -- they'll be losing out due to the slower drop rate and the very high inf value of drops) or just taking on a challenge for the fun of it. Nothing wrong with that, but it's demonstrably not the best rate of drop production.
Also, now with the level shift, +0 mobs now bounce away from my KB like -1 mobs. So, +1 is helpful in that there's less walking for me since I don't have to chase stunned mobs who have been thrown across the room. -
Quote:Previously, the game had not allowed me to make bids that would total more than 2bil. I was kind of taken by surprise.Originally Posted by Roderick
If placing a bid would put more than 2 bil in a single stack, I would recommend adjusting your bid amount up or down by 1 Inf so that if you need to pull the stack (for example, if the price spikes and your bids are now unlikely to fill), no stack will have more than the cap, and you don't have to wait for a GM to fix it.
