I have been playing for years as well, but I only have 3 level 50s, I find it very unfair that you have 14.


Wait no I don't; I made a choice to play my way and you made a choice to play yours.

The funny thing is if your goal was to "IO out" your toons the raw inf to do so is made while you are sleeping and eating.

Me too!
I just looked and I only have 14 sets across my 3 top level toons.


Ohh wait, no I disagree they are just rare enough, or maybe a little too common

I think this is where most of my enjoyment comes from is tweaking out the best power house build I can. I plan something in mids, spend a pile of inf in making it happen, then play test it and spend more piles tweaking it just so.

Playing my tank last night some PuG scrapper asked " do you ever take damage, your green bar hasn't moved in 3 missions" .... or on my Fire/Rad being told by a blaster to slow down and let other people attack too ... Those are the moments I enjoy ...

...well that and selling IOs for the inf cap.

Man with all the work you put into this you should get some special "more dedicated than us" badge from the devs. or a few months "free" game time in a "here's your game time back" gesture.

I tend to agree with this.

The only real way to test this is get 8 ppl on the same server and test a map in dozens of configurations of team size/location and "virtual team size". In other words stop playing the game and become unpaid Err paying QA techs for a week or two.


I find it disheartening that their own internal development and QA people (who should be far more equipped to gather this type of statistical data) haven't discovered this "anomaly" and corrected it already. But then again thinking back to the "half sized ticket drops on teams" bug that went all the way through beta and wasn't fixed until a week or so later. So maybe in a couple of weeks they'll fix this too.

ETA:
Or maybe this is WAI ... but I sure hope not.

Ohh yeah? we'll we ran it in 1:50:01


and our team sucked ... a lot, hell they let me on it!

we has 2 scrappers ( one was lv 44) 3 blasters, 2 mind/emps and my tank of uselessness .... that AV fight at the end was don't right sadly

This was our experience as well.

Ahh! yes I can see where that would be a form of painting the tape, however in the game I would assume that it would only work for large volumes of commodities. you take a hit in buying 5 to begin with, then another 10% loss when they re-sell at your painted price, so you would need a significant stock to make up the difference and get you back in the black. Personally I wouldn't bother doing this as wildly as stock and prices fluctuate even on the blue chips. Just set your price and wait hell even Fulmens came close to unloading his luck charms!

please correct me if I am wrong, but that term is more of an investment term used to describe artificially increasing trade volume; not showing more demand for a commodity.

as to the rest of your post I agree if you are going to artificially increase demand do it with a couple hundred bids not 5 anything less won't get noticed by anyone.

To the OP:
as far as common IOs I convert all my common salvage into common IOs ( you can store 100 IOs in a table or 30 common salvage in a rack) and the sell them off for ~600K each some sell in minutes some in days but they always sell with a ~350K profit and it gives my alts something to do

I bet he is going to have one hellva hangover in the morning.

don't they sell for the crafting cost so ~200K each or 2 mil for 10?

can this wait till after i16 ships ?

rep still decays, but the defeat timer doesn't reset

in the olden days, if you defeated a player rep was awarded, and a 10 minute timer started, if you defeated that player again within that 10 minutes no rep was awarded and the timer started over meaning you had another 10 minute wait.


well in an attempt to curb farming PVP IOs they changed that when they attached the PVP IO roll to Rep award and not defeats.

Now you defeat a player, rep is awarded, and a 5 minute timer starts, if you defeat that player again with in 5 minutes no rep is awarded but the timer doesn't start over. so if you defeat a player every minute you'll get rep once every 5 minutes

much easier now that it was. I got it in less than 2 days, faster if the target has a high rep already.

with the pvp changes the rep timer is halved to 5 minutes, and doesn't reset. at best you get 12 points an hour, but 10 seems to be a more accurate real world number.
