    You ignore the majority of what he types. You cherry pick certain parts of his post, misinterpret them, and draw incorrect conclusions. Then you finish off with vague ad hominems that have nothing to do with what he said / the argument at hand.

    In other words; you failpost. The best PVPers I know always accept it when they are actually corrected. Only a fool would argue in the face of pure logic.

    And lol. Your epeen is clearly so threatened by his massive post count that you feel the need to keep mentioning it. Epic.

    This is the part where you tell me it's only a game & start projecting your insecurities onto me.

I will leave you on un-ignore if you ever would like to pvp again but once we start with this half listening stuff I'm gonna be turning you off. And please don't blame mind/ because this thread was about mind/nrg and you even could have brought your mind/. Sorry to the OP that this thread turned into this and good luck with your mind/nrg, it's very fun!
    Rather ironic post seeing as you've "half listened" to Con throughout the entire thread.

    Why are you so keen to tear the guy down anyway? Do you feel like he's threatening your "status" as a veteran by giving better advice than you?

    That's just how it is though.

    In my opinion you can't compare ATs in PVP with ATs in PVE. I mean look at Tanks & Brutes. Brutes do less damage and have lower resists/defence/regen/etc. Should we change the rules to "balance" this? After all, brutes are SUPPOSED to do more damage than tanks...

    Sharks does ridiculous damage. It's completely overpowered. But it's not BROKEN. It's working as intended by the devs. And we are playing their game. I don't think arbitrary rule sets are a wise thing to teach to new players.

    Just my $0.02 though.
  5. I actually made over 2 billion this week. It's the first week where I mixed farming with marketeering. Anyone who does one without the other should really reconsider.

    Spent 200 million tweaking a PVP character.

    Lost 200 million trying out a new get rich quick scheme.

    Invested the rest back into the market.

    It still feels sloooooooooooooow. Especially when you have PVP IOs going for 1 billion and a full purple set costing close to 2 billion. I've got a growing queue of characters to slot out!

    It depends how heavily you milk it. If you plow at it for weeks then it'll either stabilize (in the case of high demand & high competition.) or it'll run dry and the profit gap will become marginal. If you increase the volume of a product when demand for it isn't high enough, then the price will obviously drop.

    You have to spot trends and be careful though. This week I bought 20 recipe's for 10 million each. (On one of my characters ) Crafted each recipe and listed them so that they would sell for 20 million. Of course the enhancements are now selling for 8-10 million each so I lost out. I own half of the enhacers currently on the market, and they are rare, so I think i'll just tough it out and hope for a market spike.

    But yeah. Don't do what I did. Don't kill a low turnover niche with over-production.
  7. It's amazing in PVP. Probably the best power a brute can take.
  8. I love ATists. Dominator lovers get so ANGRY when you tell them you farm on a brute.

    War Witch's first interview. Here she describes the strength of COH being the CR team and making sure the players voices are heard.

    The rest of it can be found here: http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/g...re/3946/page/2

    An interesting sentiment. But one which may not have been the case when it comes to the PVP community. (Or the base building community...)

    I'm hoping that this mission statement from War Witch is a sign for the future. I hope it shows that the new lead designer of COH will listen to what is left of the PVP community. Going Rogue will bring a lot of new blood to the game, PVP can be fixed.

    Heck if you're looking to hire more people from the game then I suggest you start with a PVPer. Fearghas/Dr. Aeon is making waves in the AE. Let a PVPer do the same.

    Flying Sniper

    If it's just for fun and you're taking fly then I really recommend using SOs.

    If you're adamant about it then pick up superspeed at least. When you inevitably get hit with -fly you'll want a way to escape.

    Slot for capped HP (~1600), 41Kb, as much +dam as possible, and as much recharge as you can.

    Sarcasm detected.

    ...but why Ball Lightning? O_o

    Been actively waiting since September 2001. In some ways I miss the pre-game community. There's only a handful of us left.

  15. I got to see the base yesterday first hand. It's immensely cool. Think "Justice League" in style.

    Thanks for showing me around. There were so many times I was just ":O". As a novice base builder myself I know how long some of those things must have taken to build.

    Absolutely amazing.

    words =/= the game.
  18. Ironically, over-reliance on one character as a single source of income is a very "Gregor Samsa" thing to do.
  19. This guide is very much outdated now.
  20. Hey Turbo what's your global? I'd love to check out your base sometime if that would be okay?

    Cap is 2 billion but you can store bids of 2 billion per slot in Wentworths/Black Market. (You do this by bidding on items which don't exist in game, such as a level 53 numina heal enhancement.)
