Essentially Correct
RP issues are RP issues and pointless
And, at the end of the day, a market merger doesn't even solve the three underlying problems that have prevented the markets from functioning well.
Just because merging the markets wont solve the issues you listed doesn't mean it wont be a large and major improvement for everyone involved.
Also Efficient Markets are hardly guaranteed even in the worlds largest and most liquid markets, they are more of a theoretical boundary than anything else. The fundamental assumption that information is always equally well distributed is almost never the case. -

Don't fool yourselves. THIS is the real reason that they're letting the markets merge.
Win Win then

You want to argue a point? Try making one instead of linking to a thread of someone who expects you to beg them to actually use their secondary.
It did completely destroy your point about kins never taking speed boost especially since its a topic that comes up regularly, and the entire point of the thread wound up being kins talking about how and when to speedboost. Also the desire for quality of life improvements in speedboost comes up fairly regularly on the boards as well w, kind of odd for a power you say people aren't taking. -

They do it because wading into a pack of enemies with Hot Feet on, locking them in place with Fire Cages, and then hitting Fulcrum Shift while your imps are clawing their junk does absurd amounts of damage.Quote:Originally Posted by je_saist

My interpretation is "It's stayed FOTM for the last 36 months because it's very effective, especially in the 44+ game." Yours is "They all suck but they don't know it."
Its not that its over powered either, its that so many people don't build properly for end reduction and so many teams must have a stone tank. -

I laughed at this until I thought that there were equally deluded people in the real world insisting the same thing. This is a game suffering does not equal "ENTITLEMENT", either here or in the real world. To insist that you should have to participate in portions of the game that are unenjoyable, or just forgo large parts of the game is just plain wrong.
Their response to being irritated by something in the game is as you might expect a little different. Go take a look at the hating the new interface thread for the whinefest. -

For someone with as small a stash as the OP says--3 million--it's a cheap start to get a bigger bankroll if he doesn't want to play the 50. You are right in that he can earn faster by playing a high level character, as I pointed out in one of my earlier responses.
Ice blasters earn 15 million/hr?
Probably more, just to make certain I took mine out for a 20 minute spin.

Or--if you find it fun--you can make your character much stronger while leveling by frankenslotting or set IOing (harder because of fewer slots) as you go. This will also make you more effective as a soloer, if you want to solo, and thus a more effective earner.
You seem to have missed something.Quote:The whole feeling of "I just enhanced my character, now watch me go into battle and show off!" can only be achieved through hours of crunching numbers and "working" the auction house to get inf. Once you MAKE enough inf to IO your character you get to spend even more hours painstakingly deciding how to slot your IOs so as to maximize every single little set bonus you can find.
You can ?? Really ???Quote:Other than the typical profits line, which is correct, the rest of this is all wrong. You can sell stacks of 10 crafted IOs now, as long as they are the same type and level. It is, of course, most convenient to sell commons in stacks.
Perhaps you mean buy not sell because otherwise you are mistaken. Placing multiple copies of an io into the market does not combine them into a stack and placing sell orders at identical pricing does not combine them. The only way you can do what you describe is with 10 slots. Which was the problem in the first place.
As to the rest well It is what it is.
Look at the numbers 15 slots, 13 available 2 used for salvage purchases. 200k per slot profit 2 days or more to turn over, or about 2.6 mil profit or considerably less than what you can make from about 10 minutes of just running missions.
No you don't. Of course I never claimed you did. The OP is trying to set IO out a character and that requires a considerable amount of rares. That whole reading comprehension thing again.Quote:You do not need rare salvages to craft commons. You need rare salvages to craft almost every orange (and purple) recipe, and a handful of uncommon recipes. Finding loads of cheap recipes for a desirable set piece is usually a clue that the salvage is very expensive. (See Mako's Bite Damage/End.) These are usually not good craft-n-sell targets. Edit: misread the above sentence, but the advice still stands. 2 million infl is selling a single decent stack of commons.
{Smiles}, what next 4 speed is going to lecture on the joys of salvage vending again ?Quote:No wonder Another Fan is having difficulty moving his inventory.
You too can make inf by vendoring salvage at a rate less than an emp defender makes running missions. -

Having SB as AoE would require that either the End cost go through the roof, or that the effectiveness of SB go down, or the Recharge be increased, or likely all of the above. Not to mention the people that do not/cannot handle SB, are they supposed to move out of range every time I pop off an SB?I could easily live with an 800% increase in endurance cost, and a 3000% increase in recharge time if it meant having it as an AOE that didn't effect self. I could also live with having it the end cost double or more, if I could cast it half as often.Quote:Originally Posted by Sardan
No thanks. Castle has mentioned in the past that any changes to Speed Boost won't be for free. For example, making it an AoE would also come with a dramatic increase in End and Recharge.
I love playing Kins and I'd love the convenience an AoE SB would bring, but I think I'd rather have an awesome power left alone, lest it be made into a shadow of its current wonderfulness.
Heck if they made the changes just to increase the duration maybe my blasters might get increase density (A much more important buff for them) occasionally. -

Marketeering is duller than farming ever could be. I'm not even going to pretend that I understand economics well enough to say what effect marketeering has on the game for everyone else, but I do wish it were possible to just play the game and have the same opportunities that the market mini-game players have. I consider that a problem, but not one with an easy answer.
You are the person so many on this forum claims doesn't exist and if you did would deserve to get the brown end of the stick. Not wanting to participate in the market is just as valid as the marketphiles love for it. Its really a shame that the only response to that idea on these boards is either to scream heretic, or find the nearest hole in the ground and stick their heads in it. -
Welcome back to the game Tongz and welcome to the market forums.
Its too bad you got such a poor reception with your first post. There are a fair number of hypersensitive people in this forum and it seems a few decided to target you. I gave what I could in rep and sorry it only took you from -3 to -2 but I am sure you will be in the green soon enough. Don't let em get to you they aren't representative of the overall population in the game or even the over all population on the boards.
Anyhow here's what help I can give you with your questions.
First you really shouldn't sweat the details of your build as you are leveling up. While you are leveling its the time to learn what your build can do and what you would like it to do. Take it as the opportunity to get to know where you need to improve and try to see where you want to go with it. Then when you are at 50 with the character you can do your ultimate build and with any luck and a lack of oopsies from the devs you will actually get to use it for awhile.
Crafting Common Enhancements can make some inf but its really slow inf. Typical profits from a common IO are a few hundred K per IO if its one that isn't selling below costs, you can only sell one per slot and it usually takes awhile for them to sell. There are people that will tell you to just list for 1 inf, don't do this unless you are willing get your stock sniped by someone who is bid creeping or you are close enough to break even that it won't hurt. Just to put things in perspective, Rare salvages are currently going for around 2-4 million per currently if you need to buy one that's going to be a fair chunk of commons you have to move.
Instead of crafting the commons, you might try bidding for stacks of 10 at very low prices. I just saw level 45 taunts going for 1K inf per, holds, damages, even accuracies can all be had very cheaply. This way you can can broaden your selection without the upfront costs of memorization.
Going further on that because of the nature of the market there is hardly anything that doesn't have a pretty good level of volatility. There are always people listing things for very low prices and you can likely pick up steals.
Best of luck with the game

Quote:I just picked the first ones off the first page of this thread. So far on this thread the complaints have broken down intoOriginally Posted by Frogfather
A_F
There are far more legitimate complaints about the interface in this thread...you just cherry picked the nonsensical ones.....good job
1. Legitimate complaints about things that were not working as intended.
2. Whining complaints
3. Complaints where the user has either failed to learn how the new interface works or doesn't care to change their habits.
4. A very small number of legitimate complaints.
That very small number of legitimate complaints about the current interface is vastly outweighed by the number of problems with the old interface. As a personal note I always thought the old interface was designed by fischer price.
On the subject of 3 I have actually gone out of my way to show people how to better use it. Really quite a thankless endeavor in a thread filled with people that mostly want to b**** and moan.
I actually find I can get more done in less time with this interface than the old one. Thanks to the new interface and global email I actually have the marketing activities of my 100 and some odd characters well coordinated for the first time. The fact you can resize the interface to make best use of the screen is an incredible plus to usability that just can't be overstated.Quote:Originally Posted by Mandur12
Generally that's a good thing, sure. But consistency shouldn't regress usability. You fit the tool to the job, not the job to the tool.
There was a consistent drone of it with the old interface. I don't know if the threads still exist but there was always something going on how to terminate a bid so you didn't actually make a mistake. Once a week give or take there would be the look at what this went for thread etc. The new interface is producing a spike of complaints from people that are in the process of adaptingQuote:Those people didn't come in droves to the forums to complain about it. So while "never" is probably too strong a word, "significantly less" could be an understatement. (the good news is that lag seems to be getting cleaned up slowly, so hopefully that ceases to be a cause eventually)
This is without a doubt so. Any user interface will have advantages and disadvantages.Quote:Drilling down using the tree was the slow way to navigate the market. I only used the tree in the old interface when I was researching potential niches, which was like once a month maybe. Otherwise there were faster ways to get where you want if you knew what you were looking for. Not everyone uses the market in the same manner. The new interface makes some methods more cumbersome than they used to be (I'm looking at you Mr. Click-on-the-Recipe-Filter-and-it-Fills-the-Search-String-With-"Recipe" function), and the alternative methods to navigate are still not as fast as the old way.

No, at least some of us who are more familiar with UI design will maintain til the end of time that there are many, glaring flaws w/the current UI. They may start fixing them gradually at which time our complaints may cease (and you'll likely point out incorrectly that you were right all along), but there are many inefficiencies in the current design that should embarrass any experienced software engineer. That we've gotten good at working around the inefficiencies doesn't say jack about the quality of the underlying design.
Was the old UI also flawed? Hell yes, but not as much as the current design, which isn't w/o its positives, and we've all pointed them out, but the negatives still outweigh them, and by quite a bit.
My typical response to the above would normally be "Have you designed anything I might have actually used ?" In this case the answer really doesn't matter even if you were Doug Engelbart I would still say you were overlooking the obvious.
The market interface has been made consistent with other interfaces in the game. The tab system across the top is the same as the recipe category system and the salvage system, the expanding tree view is the same as the recipe system, the vertical scrolling which seems to provoke such ire is exactly what is used in virtually every window in the game, be it your email window, your recipes, your salvage or your badges, and the dual scrolling panels in the stores. The new interface is also resizable as just about every other interface in the game is.
The old market interface point of fact was very much inconsistent with the rest of the game. The new interface introduces a higher level of consistency in look and feel.
Then there are the complaints about the new interface
You can actually set up sets of bids and sales even faster now than before. If you are working with the same items repeatedly its even faster.Quote:With the previous interface, you could enter numerous bids quite quickly and set up a number of sales just as quickly.
Can't argue with thatQuote:New market hurts my brain.
Never happened with the old one /sarcasmQuote:I bid wrong/sokd wrong
Looks at that expanding tree view on the left of the interface where everything is now not only properly sorted but you can actually have the space to read the full names.Quote:iggest irritant is that apparently we can no longer search by categories of items.This one is driving me crazy. If I click on Recipes, all it does is fill the Search window with the word Recipes.
de gustibus non est disputandum (there is no disputing taste)Quote:It IS bf-ugly in terms of looks - yuck..
Speaking as someone who made heavy use of the old one and makes heavy use of the new one, no.Quote:It requires more input to achieve the same results as the old interface.
I can keep going, I could even start countering with quotes by people that like the new interface, that there are such people seems to be a fact that wooshes over the heads of the repeat posters in this thread. Or I could go into the stupidity of some the arguments in this thread " I have lots of stuff in the game your opinion doesn't count on this" then "Oh you have more stuff that doesn't matter", "I earn rewards quickly, this only took me 60,000 minutes". In the end there is still no arguing about taste, its just that the people who this doesn't appeal to are hardly the only ones playing the game and I doubt they are even in the majority.
Ah well perhaps they just feel a sense of entitlement to being able to get what they want while others don't -
Arch/ment is incredible. Properly slotted it lives up to damage as mitigation, and when it doesn't it still has mitigation as mitigation.
You can go pure range, up close and personal and you can do both with same build and be really really good at both.
Just some food for thought.
Stealth into the middle of a spawn hit a point blank rain of arrows while its animating drop a drain psyche and as the arrows land hit psychic shockwave. At the end of 6 seconds you are standing in a field of corpses.
On a fast team ? aim build up, explosive arrow, fistful, psychic scream and the scrapper if he doesn't read the log will think he killed everything. -
Quote:How about double the endurance cost for double the duration. Placing the player in a socially difficult and annoying situation with the team has nothing to do with balance. While at it, do the same for increase density.Originally Posted by Panzerwaffen
True... But what are you willing to give up for that increased convenience? Quadruple the duration and cut the endurance and recharge buff from +50% to +20%?
Speed Boost is a powerful buff, that lasts a short time. Pure speculation on my part, but I would guess the intent behind the duration, is that it is not intended to be used as a perma buff to an entire team, rather than being used only when necessary on a limited number of team members. Yes, it CAN be used to keep an entire team constantly buffed, but requires sacrifices on the part of the buffer. Take away that, and something, somewhere has to be given up in exchange for the sake of balance.
Most people play the game to have fun turning a powerset into a tarpit for the unwary really isn't fun -

Edit give it a few months and they will cry to the heavens at the thought of changes -
Quote:I beg to disagree. If the powers were cut in half there would still be those that are significantly beneficial. 15% recharge bonus for 20 minutes, 7.5% movement speed increase, 25% mezz resistance, and 15% endurance discount are all very nice. 59.4% pretty nice, 39.6 % not bad nothing to crow about and 1% "oh look at fred he has devolved again find some bananas" seems very reasonable. Just a fyi even 1.5% defense can be very importantOriginally Posted by ChaosExMachina
However, if they made those powers, say, half as strong as they are, they wouldn't even be useful to those who haven't built to take advantage. Thus I suggested making it more of a chance power, which is more interesting IMO than just a buff.
Well I know I wouldn't be buying the pack at that point. I would only want the two costume change emotes and truth be told I already have more of those than I use. It may just be a failure of the imagination on my part but I am just not enthralled by the costume pieces.Quote:Originally Posted by ChaosExMachina
But if it is a self buff, there's no issue. It's entirely optional.
That may lead to some not wanting to use it, but that's actually a good thing. I mean, compare it to self destruct, and it becomes an utterly ridiculous dichotomy even with a random debuff effect. Booster powers were supposed to be a minor fun bonus, not the reason to buy the pack.
Usually, I would say that random rewards are bad practice, but again, I'm analyzing this as a booster power. To avoid such issues, I'd suggest making these 1 minute powers like the monkey power is, and making it minor, something silly like a small penalty to recharge, or mixing debuffs and buffs as mystic does. -
Quote:If you are a few seconds short of perma hasten don't sweat it. 1% downtime isn't going to ruin you and if you want the full perma hasten use your base empowerment station for the increase attack speed buff it gives you an extra 20% recharge for an hour.Originally Posted by DarthVegas
So I'm having some problems hitting the numbers I need too. Seems like I can hit my one number easy and then be lacking in another. Then I compensate and I'm lacking somewhere else.
Can anyone post a build they use that gets you to 45% S/L, 80%+ recharge, and good toHit? (preferably more recharge than that tho)
I always seem to be a few sec short of running perma hasten >_<
Anywho thanks in advance =) -
Subjective Feedback:
5 out of 6 of the effects seem very overpowered.
+5% def and +3% Are objectively things that are worth billions of inf to people in the game currently.
30% recharge is a buff that is larger than the base empowerment buff or Accelerate Metabolism or Siphon Speed.
33% reductions or is it actually the 50% the power states ? in mezz durations coupled with conserve power and fast healing ? All in one buff ?
The 4 out of 5 buffs are as powerful or more powerful than what are considered must have power picks for various sets.
The monkey mutation is over the top as well in an even worse way. I haven't received it so I can only comment on the description but anything that renders a favorite character unplayable for a significant amount of time is going to really tick me off.
The movement Buff seems more reasonable in that its less in magnitude than lightning reflexes, quickness or mental training.
Just as a personal note, it would be much more enjoyable to have this right at the beginning rather than to have it go in overpowered and a month or two before the next pack comes out have an oopsie moment we are nerfing the stuffings out of this pack. -

No offense but I'm not going to feel sympathy if someone gets burned when they are using a feature in a way it wasn't intended.

Quote:If you bid the same amount for each alchemical silver the market will combine your bids into one pooled bid. So as you go through your recipes and see you need ingredients for them just have a consistent bidding pattern and you will compile bids for all of what you need.Originally Posted by Silurian
Yes, there is the Find Salvage option, but that doesn't help me determine whether I need I just the one Alchemical Silver for this recipe, or to buy 4 total to cover the other 3 recipes I have that also need it.
The old interface used to do the same thing btw. -
Just some observations
Force Feedback proc in Nova is going to yield very little benefit. The best its going to do their is take 5 seconds out of 108. If you pop it into explosive blast or energy torrent you can get much more out of it depending how often you use them. With this as all procs its important to remember the more the power its used in fires the more the proc fires. I don't know if the wiki still has that suppression page up, but what it seems to be saying conflicts with the way the proc works.
You are over the five bonus cap in some places but I can see why you did that. It looks like you are enhancing for enhancement values as much as set bonuses even so subbing in a makos bite into one of the melee attacks and an adjusted targeting into build up will give you more similar bonuses and an extra slot to put where you want. -
Quote:How did your incident happen ?Originally Posted by Myriad
However, my personal opinion on the "all" section is not positive. It is possible to "work" in this section, but it was deliberately made harder compared to the old UI by needlessly throwing the color coding over board. (To be clear: I do not think that the intend was to make it harder. But I don't believe that the color coding was removed by accident either.) And there is some risk involved. Something similar to what Organica described happened to me once when I tried to get an item I bought while being in the "all" section. Only that I didn't accidently remove a bid but an item I tried to sell (which cost me several million inf in fees because it was a purple IO).
Yes, it will solve the problem Organica described. But you risk other problems. For me this is the choice between Scylla and Charybdis.
How would color coding have made a difference ? Not sure I am following. There is the descriptive text underneath the item names.
