    You know, if anyone else rose to the bait like this I might have been tempted to post snark, but... Seeing as how you pretty much started your forum celebrity by farming luck charms in Dark Astoria you are allowed.

    Also, this post is practically a challenge to some maniac to buy those out! DO IT GOLD FARMERS!?

    Arguing with J_B is like arguing with a conspiracy theorist. Any evidence at all, even that which directly contradicts his point, is held as evidence for it. While I understand that there's a necessity to opposing intellectually worthless ideas so as to prevent them from garnering traction amongst the innocent, I can't imagine it's worth the bother to try and be thorough.

    Whoa, I just heard this exact thing said on the Daily Show (or was it Colbert...) good stuff!

    You're not allowed to solo AVs with EM/ Primary anymore. Aren't you aware it's "teh gimpeh" after the changes.

    so mad rite nao. >

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Right, because the "teh gimpeh" has everything to do with people complaining about their ability to solo AVs and nothing to do with teaming based kill stealing and 6 seconds of self rooting funimation! /em roarlulz >:P Oh yeah and of course Energy Punch not-stealth-nerf.

    Heh, attack chain is 1/3rd gloom... :-D

    Gratz!

    For the first time i purpled out a toon (5 sets of 5 purples, 2 of those sets are ragnarok and arm.) along w/ slotting him w/ the MUST HAVE io's (lotg: + global rech, miracle + recov., regen. tissue: + regen, etc.)

    IT COST ME 4.5 BILLION!!!!!

    I'm sure if i was a little patient, and decided to farm the cim. wall 24/7 i could have gotten it for less, but that is ridiculous...

    So, who wants to play president and draw up a plan to get the virtual inflation down... other than taking out AE...

    [/ QUOTE ]

    That you even call any of that Must have Ios suggests that you bought the money to get this build.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    While I'm certainly on your... "side" for lack of a better term... I don't get the logic here.

    I've suggested this a few times already but I don't even know if this game even allow a real Jump and Kick to happen.

    What I mean is making Eagle Claw a 20'-30' range attack but instead of shooting something out of your legs (like Focus), you actually Fly, Kick and LAND near the target.

    The only thing that is close to this idea is Lightning Rod type of power but you actually have to select an area first.


    I think it will be a fantastic buffing idea for Martial Arts as it lacks any real advantage over Dark Melee and Energy Melee as ST Damage Set, and it fits the theme very well too.

    What do you guys think?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Something like this is what Shield Charge was meant to be. Alas, despite a LOT of work from Sunstorm, BABs and myself, there ended up not being a way to get this functionality to work.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    "...not being a way to get this functionality to work..." that you were satisfied with. I'm sure you got all kinds of easy, near/nigh solutions, that you weren't satisfied with on the dev-random-satisfaction-o-meter.

    They have said that not having reliable repro steps makes this particular bug nigh-impossible to track down, so if anyone can figure out a way of making this happen 100% of the time, I'm sure those guys would name children after you or something.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Odd. I get it near 100% of the time when I alt-tab out, usually to my internet explorer (edit: while zoning or logging in/out). I *never* get it in instances the other posters mention when I *don't* alt-tab out of the game.

    I'm so used to it that when I alt-tab out while switching characters, my second keypress for the password is to hold backspace down for a few moments, as it'll clear the 110101030385756whatever for the password.

    editedit: Of course, now that I've said that, I can't get it do happen at all. Mmmm patches.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yep, I would have said this 100 percent before the recent patches. Alt-Tab = 1345112111122...

    I used it to send my alts reminders and notes and I have tons of emails from ex-patriots that have quit the game over the years and such.
  12. 26 pages... have we gotten any confirmation this is WAI? As someone who has played since launch I can tell you they didn't used to act this "flighty" but mostly it's just a detriment to their own ability to fight back. So I shrug and take the freebie.

    "While E.A. doesnt have this, it does get a a auto-hit Self heal in its endo drain(before it didnt)"

    Didnt know this, explain how it works please. I have an em/ea at 50 and been wantin to dust him off.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    You get a health boost akin to the recovery boost through energy drain. It works off the amount of opponents you have in range, like energy drain.

    It is a pathetic tack on that does jack [censored] for Energy Aura. Ignore it.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    You should bug report the broken energy drain.
  15. Yes, because every animal in nature that is poisonous to another creature is evil.... sigh.
  16. There's one up right now, level 33 I think?
  17. Wow, I can't really predict. I think you would lose a decent chunk of players, maybe more than Statesman said we lost due to ED and GDN nerfs. Lots of people ranting about, "you took my stuff without giving me anything!" and lots of doofs arguing the old, "everything belongs to them anyway so [censored]" line of reasoning.

    I bet a few would sell things at cheaper rates and such but mostly folks would try and hold out with what they have up at the old prices. Is there any reason to doubt we'd just end up right back where we are?

    well sir i do apologize for having an opinion. if the forums allowed me to edit my post at this point id gladly like to put up a warning. something along the lines of

    "warning: this is all opinion. some people cant grasp the idea that not all conversations revolve around cold hard facts. so take notice this is opinion".

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Or you could use phrases like, "in my opinion", "I think", "my impression is", "it appears to me", and so on.

    Basically, if it's just an opinion, frame it as such. Don't expect other people to be mind readers. Seems to me the problem isn't their grasp, it's your delivery.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    In your opinion ....

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Uh... hence "seems to me".

    [/ QUOTE ]

    "Seems to me" was not on your pre-approved list of ""in my opinion", "I think", "my impression is", "it appears to me", and so on." I can only assume if falls under "and so on?" Are we to be mind readers for you list of "so on"s?

    The driveby comment was directed at Clouded. I cannot read his posts and have no desire to do so.

    You should, I regularly give good advice whether people agree with it or not.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I've no idea what your goal for giving good advice is but, if it involves getting it out to a larger amount of people then I heartily endorse a change of tact. If you just want to dispense good advice with backhanded jibes and put people off then, stead the course.
  21. Probably the fact that confuse duration is insane at base.
  22. I know in WoW, over the weekends a while back you could sell "salvage, kinda" (Herbs and Minerals and such) for extreme highs on weekends declining sharply as Sunday night approached. During the weeks that stuff could drop so bad you would eat your socks. Meanwhile, crafted and rare sell-able items (recipes/crafted IO's, kinda) were cheaper on the weekends and skyrocket over the week. What's all this to do with CoX? I dunno actually, it's not very analogous to CoX. doh... All I know is we used to get sad when the weekends, ends.

    In CoX there seems to be more stuff on the market over the weekend and the natural tendency is to undercut a bit to guarantee a sale or, simply, supply goes up demand goes down. Unfortunately we get wild spikes due to things like double xp weekend and AE farms creating wacky ripples throughout the game so where we should have an influx of suppliers providing commodities in the market and lowering prices instead we get a bunch of trophy 50's trying to kit out and get out.

    Err, so, weekends I think make things cheaper with spikes you can generally avoid if you don't "BIN."

    I bought up a ton of 'crappy' purples before AE hit and made a whole lot of inf selling them, but right now I'm kicking myself for not sitting on them longer.
