Quote:Seems like you missed the point of my reply.. it wasn't talking about the comparison to comics, it was a direct reply about your reply to me.Originally Posted by Hyperstrike
Your response indicates otherwise.
Whether it's one of a kind is irrelevant. Expensive rare comics aren't always unique examples either. It's a fairly anomalous piece of kit in-game.
I disagree. Again, with the comic book example. You don't have to get all issues of Spider-Man between 1 and whatever the current issue is just to display how COMPLETE one's collection is.
This here is likely the root of your stubbornness on this issue.
You imagine someone is pushing this on you.
Not so. If it's not worth that, or any inf to you, no big deal. Nobody's forcing you to pay for it.
But that is what you get if you only look at certain things and not the whole reply, there is a chance to take it out of context, which you did.
Anyways, i'm out of this thread since i do not find it interesting enough to start a whole big argument.
Good luck with your sale, i hope you'll find someone who is willing to buy this item for, or close to what you want for it.
It's an interesting item that's for sure, but not interesting enough for me to spend that much on it. -

I didn't miss any point, at all.
I have my opinion, you have yours, and neither is right or wrong.
And i stand by my opinion by stating the two are as comparable as Paris Hilton and Mother Theresa.
Is it special? sure.Quote:Originally Posted by Hyperstrike
The basic point is that, due to it's almost (if not truly) unique nature, it can be viewed as collectible, and of a value that far exceeds it's that of basic utilitarian worth.
One of a kind? no.
Is it a collectable? Only if you can get all Hami'O's in all levels, otherwise it's just a discussion topic, a 'show and tell' item.
Worth forking 10Bill for, not to me.
But hey, if someone wants to, imo, waste their Inf on it, be my guest.
I rather spend my Inf on something useful. -
Quote:Comparing a piece of history with a Hami'O isn't the best comparison, at all.Originally Posted by Hyperstrike
Because it's an anomaly in the game. There probably aren't more than a couple of them extant.
Why's a Spider-Man #1 so valuable? Not because it's a Spider-Man comic. But because they're fairly rare nowadays.
The comic can be read, is the start of a great legacy.
The Hami'O? Can be used by a few levels and that's it. It isn't the start of the Hami'O legacy, it isn't the 1st ever Hami'O to be made. -
And...... why would someone pay 10Bill for something that you can't use at level 50?

Checked it with a different toon yesterday, and i got prompted for the TP, so it seems that atm, it's only my best toon, the toon i use 95% of my online time, that is bugged atm.
This is severely hindering my gameplay. -
best part:
i kept my 3d glasses, since they are one of the reasons the price is higher. a few weeks later i went to see a diff 3d movie, i told them i still had my old glasses thinking i didn't have to pay for the new ones.. how wrong i was in my theory.

I do have hasten, and got it down to 3 seconds off perma.
My pet build has perma hasten, and all 3 pets are perma too.
My main build doesn't need it, 100% recharge bonus is good enough. -
Quote:U got Hasten?Originally Posted by Trilby
Interesting...if I 5 Posi blast, with proc, I end up with 300 DPA, 125 seconds reuse and 402% accuracy.
However, if I slot it with 5 slots including proc of AA, I only lose 70 DPA and the recharge is down to 101 seconds, with an extra long (17.6 second) stun.
I think I might just do that.
And, i'm glad i gave u an idea

Quote:Stat: Mine (Regular)Originally Posted by Trilby
I've never thought of using omega blast just for the stun. I tend to use it as my pulling tool and nuke.
How fast does Omega Bomb recharge for you and how much DPA does it do with those 5 slotted?
Recharge:124.2sec (360sec)
Damage: Smashing 108.2/ Energy 216.3 = 324.5 (166.8)
Accuracy: 411.6% (75%)
Stun: Mag 3 - 17.6Sec (8.9Sec)
No I/O boosters either. -
Quote:I knew this, that's why i mentioned the SATO, not going to cripple my build just for some ATO's.Originally Posted by Mistress Rue
The recharge bonus for un-catalyzed DoA, 5-pieces, is 8.75% - which as far as I know is unique and as such will totally avoid the Rule of 5. However the catalyzed set has bonuses equivalent to a purple set (10% Rech, etc.) - meaning possible Rule of 5 issues if you have a lot of Purples already.
Quote:Originally Posted by Dark Energon
I'm debating if i will get rid of one of my 5 Purple sets i have, namely Absolute Amazement in my Omega Maneuver. (C'mon, don't say i'm the only one who thought of that.)
The only thing that's really stopping me are the fact that even when i get the SATO, i'll loose 4% Rec (Currently 3.5%/Sec), and 2.52% Fire/Cold resist (Currently 54.35%), while I'll gain 32HP (Currently 1522HP/ 2139HP w/Serum ) and 4% Damage (Currently 44.5%/ 94.5%w/Aim). Recharge time (100%) and Accuracy (1.83x, 105%ToHit) will stay the same.
I use my Omega mostly on big mobs, it stuns them for a good 17 seconds, giving me time to kill some, and injure most. If i place a damaging set in there, i might cause more damage with the blast, but they'll also get stun for a shorter amount of time, meaning i could get a bigger angry mob attacking me.
Anyone wanna pitch in their two cents?
As I mentioned above, the catalyzed set has the same bonuses as a purple set - so if you catalyze it, you should notice no real change - except for perhaps a sub-par Proc compared to whatever proc you may be replacing.
However if you don't catalyze, and replace a non-purple set, then it's a win, as I believe the bonuess are unique to the set and won't violate the Rule of 5 no matter what else you slot in your build.

The last II issue about a powerset was out on 11/30/2011 with i21 launchin' on Dec 6th, a week later with Titan Weapons.
You heard it here first.
i22 next week on Tuesday.
last 3 years they have been releasing issues in April, my guess i22 has an April release too.
There are still a few kinks they need to work out. -
Let's just hope that this continues.
Time for VIPs to get their promised free content again. -

Quote:Wonder why all of a sudden there is such a surge in new content the last few months?Originally Posted by Astra
Not true. As stated, do your research
You have no idea how much money they're actually making, which is quite a bit. As I've said. I've seen this before, look at Gaia Online. So don't worry about losing your game due to people losing their jobs
Like, First Ward? New Dark Astioria? CoT Make over? CoT Costume pack? Steam Punk Pack? Gunslinger Pack? Retro Si-Fi pack? Pocket D pack? Beam Rifle? Titan Weapons? Street Justice? Staff Fighting? Beast Mastery? Time Manipulation? IDF Costume set? Halloween Trail? Halloween Costume pack? Carnival of Shadows costume set? Rocket Travel? Magic Carpet Travel? Coyote Run? German Shepherd pet? Incarnate trails? ....
I think you get the point.. all this costs man power to think up, to create, to test and to implement.
You don't want the game to make a nice profit? means u don't want new items in the market each week, means u don't want as much content as we are getting atm.
Like i said before, and i'll say it one last time and i'll ignore this thread.
Nobody is forcing anyone to buy this.
I bought everything i bought with Paragon Points, from the 400 Paragon Points a month they give me with my Sub.
I bought Beam Rifle, Time manipulation, Street Justice, Halloween Pack, some stand alone costume items and now 8 Super Packs... i got all this for free cause i can't afford to spend my money atm...
This is something anyone can do1 You do not have to spend money to get Paragon Points if you are a VIP. Just wait a bit longer and still get it, for free.
I understand the commotion this can cause, i really do.. but if you are just spending the 400 free points and not buy points, what do u have to loose? -
Quote:Well, if NCsoft doesn't make a profit, they'll have to start with cutting personnel, and if that doesn't help, the end of this great game will be in sight.Originally Posted by End Sinister
I like this game as much as the next player, but many of the new transaction models are sheerly in favor of N.C. Soft.
A company that only gives gives and gives, will never last long.
Again as a mentioned, i 'bought' 8 packs with the Points THEY gave me, so i didn't spend any cash on Points or the packs at all, yet i have almost the entire costume set. -
Quote:Where are my 8k bonus points as advertised?Originally Posted by Beastyle
It was indeed a typo. It's 1,600, not 9,600. Sorry for any confusion!
:P
Hey, it's worth a shot.
Ok, regarding the Super packs....
Not bad, i bought 8 Packs:
1 ATO, 1500Merits all but boots and Gloves for the costume set.
I think it's a nifty thing, had my doubts at 1st but hey, they didn't twist my arm to buy it.
I had 2 months of points saved up anyways so, yeah.
About people complaining that this brings Gambling into the game.. uhm..
Remember the reward rolls for AE Tickets and Reward Merits? Thats gambling too.
Granted, this is for Paragon points, but hey, i didn't spend a dime on points so far cause i'm flat broke, so all i got was from free Paragon Points i get monthly with my sub.
I understand that some people don't like this idea, but on the other hand, if you just save up your free points, u can get 5 packs a month for free. -
Soon!

We plan on continuing this process with a select number of items. While this definitely was a fun exercise, and is something we want to continue, it's not feasible to do it for *everything* we put in game.
In summary: Some, not all.
It is very nice however to give our feedback before you guys start making this, and this is just too awesome to be part of.
This says is all.Quote:Originally Posted by Oathbound
I love that you guys aren't just looking at what won the polls, but also the feedback on specific components from the other options that people want as well.
Can't wait for this pack.
Even though i don't have any ideas or plans for a retro si-fi toon, i'm sure i'll be able to use parts of the set.
The fact that you guys are trying to give us as many options within the set as possible is just awesome sauce, and will make it's use for non retro si-fi toons easier.
And i guess this squashes some peoples belief that you guys don't listen to us.. Yes, i'm looking at you! -

If so you will be picking up a standard access token cache rather than admin token original of the Program Files folder so may not be looking at the copy of the options.txt file you think you are.
The converse could also occur if you had installed without elevating and are running whilst having done so. This may also apply if you have upgraded your OS without reinstalling.
UAC?
Default location.
Set to prompt TP.
Launcher is set as admin access.
Not upgraded OS.
Didn't have an issue with this, until.... latest patch.
I always had it set to prompt me, never changed it, on any toon.
