I'm on Justice, and the market interface has been very laggy of late. Moving recipes from inventory to the market doesn't work, have to type in the same bid five times etc.

Well, I just got it, that's how I got the screenie! This will be great on new toons

Fast forward to 0:58 (or 1:14 for the actual quote). -

I tell you what I'd shell out some serious inf for: Market reports.
Maybe for 10k inf per item on the market, you get a condensed yet complete report of one month's activity for that item, including average price, mean price, high/low (also for each day and/or time periods of the day), maybe a histograph, and a few statistical measures like standard deviation and volatility. I could come up with more ideas on what I'd like to see in a market report, but it's the concept I'm suggesting here to begin with. For 100k, you'd get all the reports for a class of items (e.g., defense set recipes, or common salvage, etc.). For 1m, you'd get yet a wider range of reports. For 10m per month, you'd get the full market report (visible only to you and non-reproducable), although for most folks that'd be overkill. -
Actually, if they go down the 'third faction' route (ie. rogues have separate currency, markets etc), what will they call Rogue's inf? Anyone know a third synonym for reputation that starts with "inf"?

Never going to happen. Would discourage people from logging in.

The whole "inf isn't munny!" pretense drives me nuts.
Keep your RP out of game mechanics, peoples!
I mean, they can call it whatever they want- influence/infamy is as good as anything else.
But please dump the posturing about how it isn't currency, it's reputation.
r/e GR, I expect we'll have some sort of bar to fill with bad deeds or good deeds to get to the 'other side'. the tagging of missions as 'heroic' or 'villainous' seems to support this approach.
And they may as well officially merge the markets, because the minute GR goes live players will start working on the most efficient way to ferry goods back and forth.
My (new) prediction: they won't merge the markets, but you can take your inf and stuff to the other side. Rogues will only be able to trade with other Rogues. Assuming it takes some time to switch sides (e.g. one night's play or more), this will mean high end items will normalise in price a bit, but most stuff will maintain a price and supply disparity.
Why do I think this? Because it will require the least programming. I think the devs care more about the distribution of loot between factions, more than the distribution of inf. I highly doubt they would strip a character of his enhancements when he changes sides, so I therefore doubt they'll freeze your inf when you change sides. If the baby has been thrown out, they may as well toss out the bathwater too.
Some players will make a motza from switching sides and respeccing stuff out for sale, but most players won't bother.
I suppose GR might push up the respec recipe price, though. Even a small number of players flip-flop-speccing will chew up the supply of respec recipes.

Somewhere on an NCSoft server, there are four bytes, and those four bytes read 01110111001101011001010000000000.
This toon has been trading since I9, and has earnt about two levels since then :-)
It just goes to show, it's not timing the market, nor skill at the market, but time IN the market. -
Someone can complain about vet rewards now, just to increase the troll factor.
I start the game with three extra attack powers, I can get my travel power at level 6, and I can look like this:

Puck: (v) The act of dressing up with a donkey head on. Named after the Shakespearean character in 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' who gave Nick Bottom a donkey head.
In otherwords waaay TMI.
The "improvement" was that all the enemies were catgirls.
You haven't known true fear until you have seen "Neko as BaB". (one of my teamies informed me that "neko" is japanese for "cat").
<shudder>
If I stayed in the game after that mission, I think I'll be here for a while...

Quote:Which part of the phrase 'ultra-rare' do you not understand? I've been playing for 63+ months and I can't say I remember ever having one drop. I've bought a few though.Originally Posted by FargonRob
I never said they were needed. They just should not be so unobtainable.

Quote:If you see a price in the last 5 trades, then it is not impossible to buy that item. Ultra-Rares and PVP Set recipes are relatively easy to get compared to some lower level Set IOs that have never been sold on the market ever.Originally Posted by FargonRob
I know it's hard to find purples. I have found 2 and have a lot of 50's and been playing over 5 years.
But when a recipie is going for 200,000,000 inf on the market it is too rare. There are sets that are going for over 1.5 billion inf. Sure, make them hard, just not impossible.
And 200M is not that hard to amass if you are in possession of at least some skill at CoH. -
I might get modsmacked for this, since it borders on spam, but I'll recommend the http://www.says-it.com/ site anyway, since I have no financial affiliation with it

Quote:Wasn't there some PvP exploit with Achilles Procs at one point?Originally Posted by BlackBellatrix
Yeah, but why 20 Achilles Heel Procs?
I mean, it could have been some Res/Def recipes or -KB recipe bids that would have been low for a year ago but because of the deflation caused by tickets, I would have taken a bath on them. -
Yeah! And we should need to travel to missions either!! And I shouldn't even have to press buttons to make my powers fire!!! They should fire automatically!!!!
Screw you guys, I'm going to play ProgressQuest... THEIR devs know what players want!!!!! -
I'd like to claim that I called it first: (click here)

Quote:Total and utter rubbish. How hard is it for the casual player to spam bids for Crushing Impact recipes at 200K and sell them for 1M? Sure, Purples and PVPIOs are pricey, but ultra-rares are, you know... I'll give you a hint.. two words... first one starts with 'u', second one starts with 'r'...Originally Posted by SoilentGreen
However...to his point...it has to be somewhat discouraging to newer players or those who can only play for 2 - 3 hours per week to see all the great "loot" availble in this game for their characters, only to find out is virtually unattainable.

Flopping is the new black

Quote:rofl. Flipping saved!Originally Posted by TopDoc
In the Market forum, we refer to that as crapping. It's a combination of crafting and flipping.
NEWS ALERT: Mod8 seen crapping in the Market Forum!
For the same reason that a redname (CuppaJo?) long ago posted that nearly anything goes in a PvP zone, it would be REALLY nice if a redname could do the same about the Market. It's silly how many people complain about flipping and other Market PvP tactics, and a stickied comment from a redname would go a long way towards managing expectations when it comes to the Market. Though granted some people would be rather unhappy to see that Market PvP is condoned. -
Much harder with toons in shot... they move! I had to wait to catch Ms Liberty at the same point in the animation.
