There's that many left to buy?
77 to go. buying at 3.5m each cost me ~36m a stack. -

You're not as ebil as I thought. Buy them all up but list one at an insanely high price. That means the one person in the game that badly needs it has to fork over a mini fortune. After you sell that one, list another one that was headed to delete anyway. Buy up any supply. Soon, you might actually attract more speculators into the niche, artificially driving up the price.
...just because I'm a White Hatter doesn't mean, I don't know how to do the Black stuff too. -

dont get it..
I bought 48 purples and deleted them all for fun. -
check if you have any open RWZ arcs. They make it impossible to get new arcs. Annoying but true.

and Smurphy gave these words to Nethergoat;
I am the Ebil genius marketeer who taught you to make profit.
1) You shall buy thy goods low and sell thy goods high
2) You shall not put all thy inf in one place
3) You shall know that any good which people desire but noone is selling is underpriced.
<4-10 to be added.. later...> -
Positron 3, verses 16-18
For Smurphy so Loved his inf that he gave his only begotten purples that whosoever shall market with them shall have eternal wealth and live forever. For Smurphy did not send his purples into the world to create chaos but to create wealth through them. Whoever slots the purples shall not be condemned, but he who does not slot the purples in his warshade has already been condemned because he did not slot the purples given by the one true Smurphy.
Statesman 1:1-5
And these are the names of the sets that Smurphy gave to the marketeers, the sons of Smurphy each with his own set: Armageddon, Ragnarok, Fortunata Hypnosis, Apocalypse, and Gravitational Anchor. Unbreakable constraint, Absolute Amazment, and Coercive Persuasion, Hecatomb, Soulbound Allegiance. The purples of Smurphy numbered 10.
Castle chapter 1:
and Smurphy spoke to TopDoc in the WentWorths in Talos Island on the first day of the second month of the second year after Smurphy had freed the marketeers from the people. He said, " Take a count of the profitable sets I have given unto you. Count each one and list it. One set from each category, each the best of the best is to help you. And these are the names of the sets that will help you profit greatly:
from Healing, Miracle and Numina's Convalescence;
from PBAoE, Obliteration and Scirocco's Dervish;
from Melee, Touch of Death, Kinetic Combat, and Mako's Bite;
from Ranged, Decimation and Devastation;
from Hold, Basilisk's Gaze and Lockdown;
from TAoE, Positron's Blast;
from Defense, Luck of the Gambler and Red Fortune;
from Resistance, Aegis, Titanium Coating and Reactive Armor;
These are the sets that you shall profit greatly from but the others shall be of profit as well. These are the heads of my profitable sets.
??? chapter 23:
Smurphy is my cartel leader, I shall not want. He makes me log in to wentworths, he leads me by the black market, and the trading house. He guides me in the path of profit for his sake. Even though I walk through the valley of leechers and trolls I will fear nothing, for you are with me; You purples and your unique IOs they comfort me. You prepare a table of wealth before me in the presence of farmers. You shower me with inf; I am at the inf cap. Surely wealth and happiness will follow me all the days of my life, and I will work the market forever. -
I thought mine was good. But dang, yours was great.
And lo, there came a great gale, and I looked for Smurphy in the gale; but Smurphy was not in the wind. Then there came a great rain of fire, and I looked for Smurphy in the rain of fire; but Smurphy was not in the rain of fire. Then came an earthquake, but Smurphy was not in the earthquake. Finally I looked out and saw a pink bunny; and I said, "Is that you Smurphy?", and Smurphy nodded and gave unto me many scrolls. I opened the scrolls and saw the words Respec Recipe. And Smurphy said unto me, "Go my child and flip for great profits." And I went out into the land as instructed. -
In the beginning there was Smurphy and Smurphy sat upon his golden chair and said let there be inf, and it was so. And there was evening and morning on the first payday.
Then Smurphy said it is not good to be alone on this golden chair. I must teach the masses about economics. And Lo, He opened the market forum and taught the people. And there was evening and morning on the second payday.
And the People looked at Smurphy's wealth and were jealous. They cried flipper and profiteer and tried to smear his mighty image. And Smurphy looked upon the people with pity and formed his cartel to manage purples for many weeks. And there was evening and morning on the third payday.
But the people were still unhappy and Smurphy looked upon them and empowered a chosen few. Fulmens, TopDoc, Nethergoat, and others. He gave them the power of auctions. And he made them his followers all the days of their lives. And there was evening and morning the fourth payday.
And Smurphy sat back and let his followers teach the people. Nethergoat cried in a loud voice. There are riches for the taking to be found in Dark Astoria. Burn the zombies and live forever! And the people heard Nethergoat and followed him. And Nethergoat created many followers for the ways of ebil. And the people were happy. And there was evening and morning on the fifth payday.
<stuff about flipping>
<more stuff>
Many years passed and the people grew unhappy crying we want to be rich quick! And one arose from them by the name of Fury Flechette and she taught the people to make billions in a week. And the people were happy.
Man that was fun to write.

I encourage any and every person who comes to this forum complaining about flippers and how they are ruining the salvage market to attempt to do so themselves.
I will give anyone who wishes to try and ruin a common salvage - by any means they have listed above - 15 million inf to do just that. -

Quote:I have 2 fully IOed with sets builds.Originally Posted by PrincessDarkstar
Are you telling me that some of you are sitting on billions and haven't purpled out every toon you own? - No wonder you are stil sitting on billions!
I have something like 15 50s.
I find slotting toons to be incredibly tedious while making money is fun.
For example; the other day I thought I'd like to slot up my fire/mm blaster with some level 30-33 sets but then I realized that's an awful lot of slots when I'll be replacing them somewhere down the road.
Most of my toons do however have as many LoTGs as they can hold and the miracle and numina globals. So it isn't that I hate spending money I just hate slotting mass quantities of things.
Or my Spines/Fire I recently respecced. I have billions but I respecced him to use level 50 commons instead. Commons are buyable in mass quantity, are cheap, and they involve very little thought. -

Quote:Market caps create a true black market we've been over this ten thousand times. See: Pvp +3% defenseOriginally Posted by PrincessDarkstar
- Set caps on items in the market (High caps - but realistic caps) so that items are no longer able to be sold for 2bil+ etc.
- Remove the inf cap per toon, but set a global inf cap instead. There is such a thing as too much inf.
I think the net result of all these changes is that entry level IO's will be easier to get, high level IO's will remain expensive but constrained and merit earning will actually be linked with time rather than scewed as it is now.
There is no such thing as too much inf.
I disagree. -
Quote:This is awesome and I fully support it.Originally Posted by Chase_Arcanum
Incarnate system full-blown--- I could see adding 2-3 "levels" at once, but since posi said their ultimate goal is to add something incarnate to all future issues, I wouldn't expect more.
The coming storm won't be an invasion from Praetoria. That wouldn't fit with the broad allusions we've heard since. The "Coming Storm" that is alluded to seems to be affecting the whole multiverse... seems to be akin to things like the "infinite earths" DC crisis. My guess is we're already seeing some of the initial effects of the storm ever since dark mirror introduced our dopplegangers.
Since this is a thread for baseless conjecture, here's mine for the "coming storm":
Whoever sets things in motion (a nemesis plot?) he may be inspired by Recluse's Victory and/or Project Destiny. In those, Recluse isn't satisfied with knowing that he wins on some other dimension, he want to bind that dimension to this one, bringing his victory here... colliding those dimensions and all their occupants together.
The difference here, though, is this is a "storm" of dimensions colliding into themselves... coalescing with primal earth. It will set off wars and struggles of epic proportion as reality itself twists and cracks to make room for conflicting histories and the myriad possibilities whittling down to one true reality. Some of our doppleganger encounters are from the earliest incidences... the worlds closet to our own starting to merge over... we're not "merged" with them due to our experineces in sidestepping outside the timestream / dimension hopping. Things will only grow more dangerous as the storm proceeds. Incarnates... spread across all these issues... will deal with these cosmic metaspace collisions. We're talking Issues 20, 21, 22+
After the multiverse crashes, one world will emerge. Mender Silos is trying to set things in motion to guarantee his desired outcome. Our mystery letter-writer (Tyrant?) has his own objectives. Their goal is to influence what this world will be- perhaps to be the gods that make the next world, whether benevolent or in malice. We fight for or against these parties to save what we hold dear or grasp at the power we want for ourselves... battling to the very last moment of existence... when all goes white.
At that point, a new city will emerge. Its past and present will be crafted from the remnants of the once-divided universes, and people will remember it as if it had always been that way... because it has. Parts will resemble Praetoria, Paragon, and even the Rogue Isles (all ultramoded) and its inhabitants will be us... and not. This begins CoH's equivalent of DC's "One Year Later" and Marvel's "Heroes Reborn"-- a reimagining of our world and the heroes within it. A universe that's not quite like the one we see as afterimages as we dream of battles that we don't really remember participating in.
It'll be a new city... and world... that's in desperate need of heroes, again. The City of Heroes will be over. Welcome to City of Heroes 2.0.
I dunno, I play with the repeat offenders where stackings buffs lets us do crazy stuff. I still don't see why DR would be that bad.Quote:Originally Posted by Zikar
The more I think about it, the more I wonder Diminishing Returns is really as bad as people say... I mean, it doesn't effect a solo character right? Just buffs from the same powers? So, only a few powers would be effected by this, or teams that had say, two bubblers or something... but even then it wouldn't negate the benefit of two bubblers completely, just take the team down a notch.
Am I missing something? -
When it happens forward any relevant info about what you were doing/time etc to theOcho and he'll forward it to the forum techs.
I know this because I was ranting about it in a global yesterday and he said to do that.
