That should be the link to the patch notes. Nothing is there yet. CHances are this is probably Issue 15.

I tried the updater bypass, and was unable to connect when I got to the logon screen.

I suspect this is the i15 live publish, and that everything is offline for the time being.

Sahweet!

Same here. Though it's probably just because the servers are down.

99% of blasters = blasters with soft capped ranged defense?

[/ QUOTE ]

LOL, hell no!

[/ QUOTE ]

yeah, im built for regen, hp and damage.

sure, its eccentric, but it works wonderfully :P

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm built for everything.

Rocknrolla baby!

Have been playing an elec/pain for the last few weeks and i absolutely LOVE the set!

Still does a lot of damage and has an amazing secondary!

Yeah...um...pointless thread. One question though - how much are most of you folks netting at level 50 with the toggle healing power? I'm a long ways off 50 but was curious if it was hitting 200+ with IO's and suchlike.

Its not really IF you can solo a pylon on a softcap blaster...its HOW FAST?

[/ QUOTE ]

It's not about how fast it's about WHAT ATTACKS!

It's not about WHAT ATTACKS it's about NO TOGGLES!

It's not about no toggles it's about NOT USING SECONDARIES!

Etc. Etc. Etc.

Congratulations to OP for doing something that 99% of blasters cannot do.

I know theres always a higher mark to reach, but this is not the accomplishment level of soloing TFs or somesuch that requires a serious investment in patience and time, plus having a near perfect build.

Soloing a pylon is indeed something that 99% of blaster CAN do if they choose to build some simple sets to get soft capped ranged, then come up with a 150+ DPS attack chain to overcome the pylons regen. Its not rocket science to achieve those two metrics, so with a small amount of patience and planning 99% of the blasters out there could indeed solo a pylon.

For that reason I have to push the bar a little higher to see how fast/no insp/no temps...etc can be added to make the accomplishment a bit more restrictive in who can actually accomplish it.

Heck doing it at all is an accomplishment, but for us been there, done that, got the T-shirt types the bar has to be raised a bit to see what the true ceiling is.

So no knock on soloing a pylon, but I still want to know how FAST can I solo a pylon?

The game within the game within the game.

99% of blasters != blasters with capped range/150+ DPS

I think the supply needs to increase because the market value, expressed in terms of the time it takes to produce that much raw inf from NPCs, is "too high". But that's entirely a subjective game design issue.

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't think it's too high at all. Considering how easy it is to make influence I think 200 million per purple is reasonable.

As has already been mentioned: it's possible to get a purple per day if you farm in a certain manner. (That might be lower than some people - I don't farm purples so I wouldn't know.) If each sells for 200 million then you're making 1.4 billion per week.

I think purples are fine as they are. Drop rates/prices included. The reason for this is that they are a good way to make money in the game. If I farm enough random purples I can make enough money to buy the specific purples/IOs that I want.

I mean without purples as the high-end content...what's the point of making money?

So I can make one post here claiming i'm ebil?

Once all your characters are purpled out there's absolutely no point in accumulating influence. If we make the end game content not last as long then there would be no real purpose to purples anyway. (Either that or this entire thread will be about PVP IO's instead...)

I say keep them as is and stop pretending there's a "problem". A "problem" would be players not being able to afford them and not having access to them. This is not the case at present.

Finally!

WP/EM GREEN LANTERN RIPOFF TIME!

Circuit boards are now going for 250,000 and there are only 7 left in the entire market. (With over 2000 bids) Very strange. Is someone bulk-buying and hoarding / slow releasing to artificially increase demand & price?

More Influence in the System = Rising Prices

Working as intended. No chance of increasing the drop rate.

+1

The server appears to have become very fragmented. There is not so much a "rp community" anymore like there once was a couple of years back.

Me & a couple of friends are going to be running some rp / story events through the summer. So watch this space I suppose.

I have to ask though - what is the Rookery all about? And why does it need a daily thread? I've tried reading them but I still don't get it.

Ok for solo'ing
Enr/Elec What would you slot where to assit in soloing AV (Is it even possible to KB a AV?)

I hear always about the soft caps, where can I get a list of these?

Anyone able to help me get some idea's on how to slot this build?

[/ QUOTE ]

My next project is an Energy/Elec Blaster. I'll let you know how it goes. Check the rest of this thread for advice on how to hit the ranged defense cap. I think someone linked it in here somewhere.

In other news...I just soloed Synapse & Requiem with no inspirations. (Separately.) It's a bit momentus for me. Ever since I heard of Requiem back in 2001 I've wanted to beat him one on one. Now i've done it

Sticks and stones. LMAO. You calling someone ignorant must make you feel good. I guess you need to do that to make you feel special in your life. God bless you, you need it.

Anyways, i'm not sure about the drop rates but i know after 30+ hours of farming this week alone (BP and demon), i've gotten crap drops. Not 1 recipe crafted to sell over a mil inf. And that's a regular thing for me. I have 2 accounts and my sk was getting about 7 recipe drops to my 1. Guess i just have bad luck.

I can name several recipes that i've never even seen drop on my accounts over 4 years. Any numinas, respecs, miracle (big one), ToD, any purp in over 3 months, just to name a few. That's alot of playing on your "ok" drop rates not to get any of those several types at all.

I keep looking in the cowfields for horses. No matter how many times I look all I ever find are cows. Cows are worth half the value of a horse. HOW CAN I POSSIBLY GET A HORSE?

My friend Bob helps me search the cow fields sometimes. He once bought two cows and sold them. With the money he made he bought a horse.

I think Bob is an evil market manipulator. I am going to continue searching the cow fields for a horse. Bob has lots of horses now.

Just soloed my first AV, Black Scorpion at level 50. He was tough, had a couple AoE attacks, but was able to drop him eventually.

Couldn't have done it without Aid Self.

I preferred using Ice Bolt to chillblain though.

I did the same thing. Blew over 1.5 billion on my blaster. Put a +stealth in sprint too

You're the second hit on Google for "Marvel Maiden".

Contest it with CS. You should get it back.

It's tempting to change around The Cape's (radio station) page. Since they make almost zero mention of it's existence, founder, or beginning DJ's before Templar.

It's a great form of disrespect, but nobody seems to care or remember, so I've been fairly quiet about it. :/

Maybe one day I'll do it anyway.

DJ TENCHI!

He still plays the game you know.

OK, look at it this way:

-You get three level 50 Cytos.
-You combine them into a level 50++.
-You put it on the Market.
-It becomes a level 50, losing its ++.
-You realize that you just deleted two Hami-Os.

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh I understand. But look at it this way:

-You get three level 50 Cytos.
-You combine them into a level 50++.
-You put it on the Market.
-It becomes a level 50, losing ~60% market value

-You get three level 50 Cytos.
-You combine them into a level 50++.
-You can't sell them on the market.
-It remains in your inventory, losing 100% market value.

I would rather be given the option of selling for that 40% with a warning that doing so will knock the enhancement to level 50. More options is always a good thing.

[ QUOTE ]
-You realize that you just deleted two Hami-Os.

[/ QUOTE ]

They were already deleted when you consented to combine them. Now the market is telling me not only would i make a loss of 60% is I was able to sell them, but that I cannot in fact even make this loss. It makes the HO worthless. And thus making the statement you are suggesting more along the lines of:

~you realise that you just deleted three Hami-Os.

[ QUOTE ]
IIRC, We used to be able to sell them, but the market stripped them of their plusses when they were listed. People didn't like this, so I guess preventing people from listing them was the other option.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is what I thought was the case currently. Why on earth did they remove it?

It's counter intuitive. If players were annoyed they were getting less than they should have been, then surely not letting them get anything at all is the worst possible solution?

It is better to have sold and to have lost then to have never had sold at all...

Why on earth can't you sell combined enhancements?

I have ~60 50+ enhancements i just respecced out of a character only to find I can' even sell them. Rubbish.

Anyone looking to buy some Membrane/Nuc's?
