Quote:Hate? a little harsh. It's more an dislike with great intensity.Originally Posted by Fury Flechette
According to this thread, the people who play the market minigame "abuse it and drive prices out of control".
I'm not here to start another discussion on the idea presented in that thread. I've left my comments there. However, what struck me in that thread is how many misconceptions still remain about people who play the market. I guess since the PvPers were essentially hamstrung (practically driven out of this game) in issue 13, marketeers have become the new bogeymen.
We're the ones who are obviously manipulating purples prices to keep them out of the hands of the mythical "casual player". We're the ones who are responsible for the spikes in common salvage prices, and why the "casual player" is FORCED to pay 1 million for that circuit board. We're the ones that make it impossible for the "casual player" to fully outfit their character with all the IOs they want at level 50. We're the ones that cheat the system and have billions when the "casual player" may barely have 10 million when they reach level 50. We're obviously cheaters, swindlers and no good con artists. Worst yet, we're in cohoots with farmers, AE exploiters and RMT companies.
Of course what's never mentioned is the fact that almost all of us have given away our methods on how to become rich; that many of us have given away millions (billions) to other players just because we can; that the methods we use are based on observation, knowledge and sometimes a bit of luck - there is no voodoo or trickery and it can be replicated by just about anyone; that a large majority of the player base benefits in using the market, both in buying what they want and selling what they don't need - marketeers are not a small minority in this game, they may represent a large majority.
But of course, it's easy to lash out at the bogeyman when you don't understand or are too lazy to care. And unfortunately for us there are enough lazy or ignorant people to lend weight to their voices. Instead of making careful adjustments to a system, which is in large part working, they demand large scale, radical changes. RMTers have polluted the market and anyone with large stockpiles of influence/infamy is immediately suspect.
While part of me hopes that the developers will listen to reasoned voices and to people who understand the system, I can simply point to the travesty that is the current PvP implementation on what happens when mob mentality rather than knowledgable players weigh in how to change a system.

It's an indirect defense power. Most minons that run up into melee range will take a second or two to turn to hit another foe--an attack not used on you. It even better if that enemy runs away from you to attack--all time not hitting you. It may not seem like much, but it has served me very well.
-
I can see it for Corruptors, but it would need a new tier 9 power. It will never happen for Defenders, as it's considered a "villain only" powerset.

Cloaking Device has a brief colored flash when activated. Nothing much, but it's there.
As for the rest, it's running afoul of Pet Customization. The Drones and Bombs are effectively pets. Pet Customization was pulled before test because it didn't work right. The color tinting would cover the entire pet. It works for Fire Imps, less so for Bots and Zombies. It appears the left the interface in for down the road when Pet Customization is properly implemented. -
That's a good one

So here's the deal. The point of beta is that it's confidential and they want to be sure that people in beta are mature enough to not go around spewing the details on public forums.
So here you are, in a public forum, complaining to the users rather than people who could actually fix this for you. Perhaps you were attempting to be ironic.
What are you going to do when you get in there? Test and /bug or test and /bcast about what you hate?

No email in Junk folder or otherwise. I'll just have to try to butt in on the Training Room.
UPDATE: Able to get onto Test. Guess I was invited after all.

Due for 66 come March, no beta invitey.
While it's annoying, the 60 months invites were only meant for GR beta. This technically isn't. -

Despite the Hold Protection being a mere 2, you also gain a reduction to Hold durations on you. This does make it more difficult for hold to stack on you as they don't last as long(It is worth noting that these protections do not suppress when held).

I would expect so. I certainly hope so. I just do not know so.

Fantastic idea

Nemesis Vengence. It's automatic, and stacks.

Quote:Ah, that makes sense. I'd never dropped a arc ending mission, so I assumed that one could not when this mission reared it's ugly head. Good to know.Originally Posted by Roderick
You can drop the final mission of an arc.
You can't drop:
-Timed missions
-Failable missions (except the "Stop 30 Fir Bolg from entering the Portal" one; you CAN drop that one, and it's an arc ender too)
-Missions that grant a badge
This is the final mission in the Patron arc. As such, it gives the Patron Badge. That is why it's undroppable. -
My Thugs/poison also was getting destroyed by the fonts. It's an arc ender, so you can't drop it. I when and leveled up a few times, set everything to minimum difficulty and came back. It was still tough, but no longer suicidal.
At the time, I didn't understand just how Bodyguard works--only with Defensive/Follow. If you set them to attack, they offer no protection. -
BWUH!? How did you figure it out from those "pictures"? There was nothing to see!

It would be sweet if we could set the object thrown.
