You missed the part where VIPs get 80% of the stuff in the market for free, and the other 20% aren't required for anything in the game, AND that VIPs get 400 - 550 points FREE just by subscribing.
Uh, no. AE farming creates gaps in the market. You can only get so much out of randomly rolling bronze or silver rolls. And once you flood a specific side of things via AE, the other side goes up in price. Look at Purple Recipes, and respec recipes, which are completely unavailable via AE farming. Prices for those have SKY ROCKETED due to the large amount of AE farming.

Plus, the Consignment house isn't meant as a 'buy it now' market. Its NOT A STORE. Put your bids up for what your willing to pay, and go from there. AE actually produces LESS inf/hour then normal missions/story arcs, due to no end of mission Inf bonus, no end of story arc bonus, etc. Most of the money you make via AE is based off Marketeering, which can only go so far.
I'm not going to go into why farming AE is bad. I'll just let the Devs do that themselves, by nerfing the farms best they can.

Market caps are NOT the way to lower prices, they are the way to cause items to be removed from the market. Look at some of the PvP IOs. THE MARKET IS NOT A STORE. You can get any common salvage from just about ANY level range for 10inf if your patient enough. You can get any uncommon salvage for less then 1000inf if your patient, and you can get just about any rare salvage for under 1million inf if your patient. If you want to BUY IT NAO then you have ZERO room to complain about the prices, because YOUR the one paying for them.
Stuff happens. Things break. Heck, the servers dropped for 5 minutes the other day, and Zwill, bless his heart, was doing his best to figure out what happened. When there are massive changes in both the servers, and game systems, expect things to break. The devs are doing the best they can.

Yeah, i totally saw /regen, and thought it was the scrapper forums, plus i was posting at work, which means i was only giving the forums half my attention.

But it more or less stands. Shadowmeld isn't available to brutes, but Darkest Night is, which is almost as good (massive -damage, and -tohit, on an AoE toggle debuff) and superior conditioning is a means to get more endurance back. I think on average, SC adds a little more endurance then Conserve power does, due to the way +end works (by adding recovery..)

Eh, I've played that other massive game, and when they bring the servers down, its pretty much '12 hours OR MORE' every time. There is no such thing as 'just a 2 hour downtime, we promise guys' So, if they really only patch on patch day (which is tuesday by the way, just like us) then why were the servers so unstable for the latest expansion that people were locked out of the game for 3 weeks? Due to lag, and other massive issues that beta testers weren't able to squash.

If you honestly need to respec your character after every single level, then yes, you really do need to learn2play. As it is, you are given enough respecs that you could basically respec every 10 levels and still have respecs left over....

Play with other Beam rifle characters. Solo, on my beam/rad corr, I'm have a very hard time spreading disentrgration around, but when i teamed with just 1 other beam rifle user for a sewer trial, basically every mob we fought was spread. He would tag a boss/LT with disentragration, i would shoot it, it'll spread. It was pretty amazing how much the difference was with just adding 1 more beam rifle user.

Thought you can click anywhere, the police guy, the door, the barbed wire, basically anything within like 5 ft of the entrance/exit..

While true, tier 5 unlocks them. Which i think is about oh, 12 reward token? Or about $180 worth of points, or about a year subscribing now (used to be 33 months, almost 3 years) And that unlock works forever..

the AT unlocks, as well the other things at unlock via the tier system (inventions, AE, etc) are only there if you flat out refuse to be a VIP customer for any length of time, but still want access to things VIPs have.

And to be fair, Its like not Moffat hasn't thrown similar 'This much be the guy' in our face, and come to find out we were wrong.

Ganger Amy comes to mind right away..

While true, when you set missions at -1, you end up with blue/white minions, and white/yellow Lts instead of white/yellow minions, and yellow/orange LTs.

Now, granted the power difference between a yellow LT and a orange LT isn't that much, but for some people it can seem like a massive difference and can make or break missions (especially when said orange Lt is really a down graded boss...)

Body mastery (energy mastery) also adds recovery, (physical perfection) endurance management tools (conserve power) Ranged attacks (energy torrent, laser mean eyes) and tohit buff/debuff resistance (focused accuracy)

So its more then just +regen...

What about going dwarf form? I know dwarf on a PB isn't as useful as on a WS, but would the extra resistance in dwarf form help you handle voids better?

And you do get to keep it. You don't LOSE anything, they don't hit a massive delete button, and make you start over from scratch.

You just can't USE the powers you already have unless you want to subscribe to the game. It really is that simple.

According to mids:

1) the chance for each to go off (and they are independent of each other) is 20% chance every 10 seconds (in an auto power) or 20% every time the power is activated (in the case of a healing aura, or other power that an slot it) So that is 20% for the heal, and 20% for the endurance every time it would proc.

2) the heal on my MM is about 79 hp every time it procs, which mids says is about 9.83%. On a tanker it would heal 64.6 hp every time it procs, or about 3.45%.. So i'd say it varies on AT, but isn't quite % based..

3) again, using my MM as an example, it gives 7.5% endurance every time it procs. On a tanker it gives 7.5% endurance as well, so i'm thinking it'll be based on your max endurance on how much end it actually gives back.

no you!

So, your status toggle, your damage aura, your attacks, and RAGE are not work using on an SS/elec brute? Only energize, power sink, and foot stomp is worth using? I'd really love to see an attack chain consisting of footstomp-footstomp-footstomp, but its just not possible.


Same goes for the ice/cold. Sleet and Heat loss don't really deal very much damage. They are very nice at debuffing, i'll give you that, but without a means to do damage (with ice storm, your single target attacks, etc) your not going to go very far.

So all in all, nice straw man. Your doing great here.


The only argument that i find (in my opinion) valid about the 'exemplaring sucks' is that you lose Set bonuses, but with PvP and Purple recipes that argument is almost null and void in itself. Enhancement values, even when faced with exemplared stats will be higher on an exemplared level 50 to level 20, then they would be on a natural level 20. Available slots will be higher on an exemplared level 50, and you even have access to accolade powers, which you may not have as a natural 20.

We get it, you don't like exemplaring, but saying the only 'viable' powers are those post 26 is just asinine. There isn't enough level 50 content in this game that it is ALL you've been playing for the last 2 years, especially with the weekly strike targets listing a lower then 50 TF more often then it lists a level 50 TF. If you unlocked your alpha slot within the last year, chances are you've played non 50 content.
