    Exactly the stance that I am taking on QJ, not even bothered to read anything else he has said, I simply see his name and skip to the next reply.

    Quijon there are so much wrong with your posts and your attitude I don't know where to start... you really are turning this thread which was meant for farmers to discuss farming into your own personal moan about the world and how you can put everyone else down.

    Someone get it back on topic of what?
    I don't know why you are babbling about farming, you can't even work out how the forum is meant to work! You keep to the topic in the title... that's even in the rules, go read them!

    Announcing publicly what manners we are using to overcome as much of the i16 changes as we can?

    Not bloody likely
    Then stop posting here !!

    I am not even going to bother quoting you on all the other guff that you have spouted since because every one of your bloody posts is a mile long ! !

    I haven't even been bothered to read them completely, so stop turning my thread into your shoulder to cry on. This was not meant for information for me, either again if you had bothered to read the start... it said, this is for constructive and helpful information, there are plenty of farm debates out there already

    As for the thread being 20% the size?? that would be wonderful, even if it was only 30% the size and it was only you who hadn't posted i would have been happy.

    No one cares for your marathon long opinions, so bloody well keep them to your self !!
  3. Oh ok, cool that sounds like a plan, ill take some time over it. Seems to work for many people, must admit i always buy the IO and list the rec, never seem to craft anything.

    Maybe it's time to shop smart. :P


    Thanks guys for your help x
  4. oh ok's

    so buy what for 36?

    craft what?

    and sell what for 50?

    still confused. o.O

    i'm confused, i was asking about defense. . . is this getting mixed up with my price is right thread?
  6. Sorry buy what? whole build for 36??
  7. wow those are pretty good numbers.

    I'm sure that with my res and my regen on my brute that build should walk the map easy

    Oh and I have the -to Hit from Rise to the Challenge as well.

    I'm a happpy bunny
    tyvm x,

    I believe Many People enjoy the Invention system as it is currently. I do. [And by the way, your having 3 purpled out toons is a sign that the invention/market system is tuned EXACTLY right.. it sounds like you had to put forth some SERIOUS effort in doing that. THAT is the INTENT.]

    Certainly there are improvements that can be made... But I believe "many people" enjoying it is all we can ever hope for.

    Stupid reply, I meant everyone can enjoy it by being able to afford the IO's that they want.
    I wasn't saying the IO sytem was flawed! I think the IO system is amazing. Read closer before you reply pls.
  9. ok ok, so someone tell me what to do with the market thing then??

    I'm very impatient and I always end up paying high prices for things I want "NAO!" and selling cheap to get the sale "NAO!"

    How can I work the market better...

    Please note that my impatience is a very difficult variable to change.

    :P

    Qui - Jon, please take your endless off topic posts somewhere else.
  11. Thats super, thanks.

    If i am fighting lvl 54's do you know from those defense vaules what rolls they will need to hit me if they are,

    a) minion
    b) luitenant
    c) boss

    This one is harder to work out, but i would be very grateful if anyone knows how to get me the correct figure for each.

    Def values from build are

    Smashing - 39.6%
    Lethal - 39.6
    Fire - 34.3%

    Thank you in advance ppl x
  12. ok technical question, I'm hoping the likes of carnifax see's this :P

    I am making a build for a brute, who needs to be survivable against S/L + Fire attacks.

    Some Melee, Ranged and Aoe.

    However I have a build I made which gives great def to S/L + Fire however the positional like ranged isn't super....

    SO my question is this,

    if i am attacked with ranged S/L + Fire attacks(cones too) would the defense roll be on the positional(weakest link) or the damage type(strongest link)...

    I have posted the build incase you want to refer to it.

    For someone like me, who frankenslots quite happily in the game and gets mostly any IO I aim for it's rather ironic for me to have her giving out about high prices
    Currently have about 3 Fully purpled toons, and about 5 or 6 Io'd ones and about 4 more that are Hammi'd all the rest are frankenslotted :P

    Just be nice to be able to make more, without undoing ones that I have already done

    Sorry bout vocal thing, that gets me into bother all over the place.

    of course if that is the only way you(generic) use the market, and don't sell your drops to make money, then there is nothing anyone can say to help. not saying that is how YOU use the market, just how people that come to complain about the prices use the market.
    I always sell my drops, sorry if somehow the extortinate prices are my fault ?! ?! ?!
  16. Devs, if you are going to remove AE farming and the ability for characters to make massive amounts of influence then do something about the stupid prices on the markets.

    I love to IO and tweak builds on my characters but the cost of the IO's even the basic ones not the Purples are getting way way too expensive.

    Ok we get it, they are rare and people should have to pay more for them, however.
    I suggest the following....

    Have a vendor that sells all the IO's at a fixed rate,

    This would mean that you could still sell IO's that are dropped, either to the vendor or to the auction house where players can try to get a bargain but the price would never rocket over the vendor price.


    Could you please do something about this???
    It's not fun to not be able to afford the IO's that we want for our toon, and coming from me thats rare! I have 4 accounts and make 10 million with 1 run of the BM map, so i I find it tough loads out there must be much worse.


    Pls Pls do something so that everyone can enjoy the invention system.

    Thoughts please? .............

    It happened....

    Too many people more interested in giving their own point of view than creating a helpful database for all.



    I'm not angry, i'm just dissapointed.
  18. Donna_

    Farmers Adapt.

    I have been thinking about it logically... i know not like me :P

    What we need, and what you need to get it.

    to get 100% xp you need groups of,

    Minions hard/hard
    Luitenants hard/hard
    Bosses hard/hard

    I want the highest xp for my lowbie as possible, so I set my missions for +4's and 8man.

    So this now leaves us with the question, what power sets would be the easiest to overcome.

    I have tested, a few... most effective so far being

    AssaultRifle / Fire Assult, no build up, no aim, no rage or extra accuracy.

    Spec your toon for Ranged defense, and mobs with all ranged attacks miss the majority of the time, however getting tight groups is a pain in the bumski.


    Anyone got further than this?
  19. Fire/Kin + Fire/Rad get's my vote.

    It's not constructive and the original post that states,
    "this is for constructive and helpful information, there are plenty of farm debates out there already"

    was obviously put there because there are idiots out there that think it doesn't apply to them. (p.s - I can see now why you turned rep off)



    As for everyone else, thankyou for your replies, lets keep the thread going as it was intended, as a source of useful information to those who want it.
  21. Donna_

    Farmers Adapt.

    How do you create a farm that has different proportions of types in the group?

    I created

    1 minion,
    1 luitenant
    1 boss

    but in the group I got 2 bosses, 3 luits and the rest minions... how do you determine what ratio they spawn in ?
  22. Hi guys, couple more points to make.

    Quote:
    The standard damage portion is not autohit, and is enhanced by accuracy. The containment portion, I believe, is given a 75% chance and not affected by accuracy. The slow and fear are autohit, yes. Accuracy in hotfeet does increase the likelyhood of damage.
    I am still sure that Hotfeet is autohit in PvE...(i'm sure about this) I have never seen "MISS" come up from any mob that is getting effected by hot feet and I tested this after being told about it extensively.

    Also Hotfeet doesn't cause fear.

    I agree that Fulcrum would probably manage with 2Acc IO's and 2 Rech IO's I just have mine at 6 from force of habbit since the days of SO's.

    Cages would probably be better with damage, atm I have full set of grav anchor in mine but thats because i have 5 purple sets in her.


    As for power choices, I did state this is still not the build I would use, I just didn't want to tear apart every part of the OP build.

    Quote:
    Using Increase Density on Imps is just a waste of time, even more so than using Speed Boost on them.
    This was a choice of an extra power, ID was not picked for KB protection as the OP seems to think, that indeed would be very daft >.< Hadn't even crossed my mind, it was picked to give your imps another 23.5% res.


    Quote:
    No offense... If you look at what is slotted in all those "dumb" powers I was taking them for the defense. I am almost soft capped on defense and still have the benefit of almost soft capped resist. As for donna saying I need to have perma FS. It comes up every 23 secs which means I can have 2 instances stacked as well as 2 of siphon power which means I'm well beyond the damage cap. Donna... did you even truly look at the build? I never even took spped boost and why would i want KB resist for my imps when the vills I fight dont have hardly any KB. Freaks have some and so does BM but I rarely see my imps go flying anyway. I did slot fire cages with enf opp for the defense bonus. more defense = more survivable. Why do you think so many people are so high on /stone... defense cap.

    My resoning for the defense is easy. Fighting +4 mobs I'll have to spam my heal faster than my attacks since I'll be getting hit left and right. This is more survivable without losing any damage.
    No offense taken, but you totally gimped the character in order to get def, if you want def so much take Stone Epic.

    I agree 100% with Not_Epsilon, so i'm sorry but your "farming build" Ignitros left me with a taste of WTF in my mouth. :O

    Even better put., and Ps - Any farms will not go un noticed by devs, it's silly to think that they will.
  24. Purple prices will drop now that farmers are returning to PI.

    For all the farmers out there. . . how do you plan to adapt ?

    What measures and changes will you make to

    your build?
    your AE mission?

    What is everyone finding most lucrative way to spend your time now?

    This thread is for ideas and suggestions, and when I say farmers, I mean lvl 50's not power leveling nubs.


    Obviously this topic is very controversial so please if you don't agree with farming on any level don't post about it as this is for constructive and helpful information, there are plenty of farm debates out there already.

    Thank you,
    I hope everyone reading this learns
    something helpful from the thread.
