It wasn't as fast as I would have liked, but what can I say? I was only using Sprint! It was still under 10 minutes though. lol

This was a lot of fun! We were screwing around on Vent most of the time while we slow-poked our way through this. We hit some rough spots when we got a little too carried away... Then again, we should have expected a little bit of that with Tabby and a member of J-Force on the same team. rofl

And after all that, I didn't even get any useful drops. Matter of fact, the best drop I had sold for 116k.. and that was a regular Invention Recipe at the regular store! I hope the others did better than I did. lol

Great job everybody! See you on the new forums!

[/ QUOTE ]

Well run MB. I had a blast! I also did not have any good recipe drops but I got some nice salvage.

Nice name for the JPG too...

r/e starting inf:
try asking at a busy market.

No Doubt.

I was just thinking of it in the sense of a Challenge, where you may not:<ul type="square">[*]Get a kill / Get any XP[*]Bankroll/Sugardaddy transfer the starting inf.[/list]It seems pretty evident that the "trick" in the Challenge is to get the seed inf.

After that, any arbitrary final amount, be it 1 Million or 1 Billion is simply time (and
tedium given just 1 slot) for any of the marketeers in this forum.

That said, I can't think of any way to get seed money without breaking a "rule", but
in the transfer case, if the transfer was due to some in-game, in-character activity,
it could be potentially OK (and maybe even fun).

So, instead of, say, a /b "Hey, I'm trying to make 1 Billion on my toon with no XP -
would someone lend/give me 100K to start???", which still strikes of sugardaddying
to me, a contest reward, or amusing RP story/tagline or some such would seem more
valid in the "spirit" of the Challenge.

Even if you made a panhandler toon (like those guys in Cap Au Diable) and sat
outside the Market with an amusing beggar's tale, within the context of the game
itself, it seems more acceptable than an outright transfer from an alt or player (if
that distinction makes much sense). &lt;shrug&gt;

That's kind of the same conclusion I came to as well. I think I'm more interested in helping someone else do this then doing it myself. It sounds like quite the challange...

[ QUOTE ]
I blame this thread for trying to keep my interest until i16 hits... I made myself a new toon, on a server I don't play on, to try this out. I took the idea from Case_Anarchy for my initial funds and varied it slightly. I found a hostage in Atlas and lured her muggers to a Police Drone. She was grateful and gave me 7 influence! I then took a couple hours to start my new adventure. Hopefully I'll be able to keep track of some of the things I do and can report later... unless I lose interest...

Wanna buy an nice lvl 50 Airburst IO for 1B? Since I like you it's only 999,999,999. Now, THAT's a steal!

Bwahahahahaha .... Nice Turg, nice.


Thank you Fox for setting this up. This was my first go at the arena and I liked it. What I learned is that PvE != PvP ... great PvE toons SUCK in PVP.

I'm up for doing another one. Maybe we can try and launch a missle or do some of that other PVP stuff sometime...

Just think, the entire Horde on one team! LOL ... the PVP'rs wouldn't know what to do!

I still don't understand why I can't use my real money to buy the 63 month veteran reward if I want to. How does that hurt the game if I can pay to have my VRs now? I think it helps it. Personally, I'd like to see the VRs be a free booster pack. That way, if I can't wait to get it via VR, then I can buy it now. And realistically speaking I do not see myself playing a 5 year old game for 5 years into the future. Let me buy some of those VRs.

I have $$$ to spend and you need it for the longevity of the game. Do you want it or not? If not, why not?

What is usually the trend for purples during 2XP? I've started purpling my two main characters, but I'm going to wait until (hopefully) the drop in price after I16 to do anything more than rely on drops. I've gotten a couple that I don't need that I'm hanging onto for the 2XP weekend. Is it usually better to sell these during or after it? And would the same apply to the other big ticket items, LotG, Miracle, etc...? I've got some merits that I might use for random rolls.

[/ QUOTE ]
My guess is that purples and other high-end stuff isn't going to be much impacted. With purples especially, you need to be 50 to farm (supply side) or use (demand side) them so people leveling new characters aren't going to be affecting the market for them much.

[/ QUOTE ]

BUT, I'd also say more INF out there = higher prices ... If it were me I'd list them now for a high price and let them ride out for the duration. Hell you might be surprised to see them sell before DXP hits anyway!

[ QUOTE ]
The lack of market slots would be the most hurtful part, IMO.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ahhhh ... now that would be the biggest issue I see so far...

I'd love a whole issue of just costume pieces ... 30 new chest icons etc...

Ahhh ....not a bad idea ...hmmmm. Is there any other way to get some starter INF? My goal is to have some INF without involving a transfer OR actual fighting (even with XP turned off)

This will not be a speed-ITF, and she wont be in "crazy-kitty" mode for this. I'd like my team to run this on Invincible or as a clear-all... maybe even both (depending on what the team looks like). I'll also be using this opportunity to show Flu and Fox my Rom-pulling trick.

Apparently you don't get 2xp in AE, so I doubt that'll happen, but you never can overestimate the intelligence of the common player.

[/ QUOTE ]

Still,

Did you see this somewhere? I think it is still up in the air right now if AE will give out DXP or not... I was hoping that it did b/c I wanted to level up my fire/shield scrapper... and maybe some other ones too...

[/ QUOTE ]
I thought I heard it mentioned that since Patrol XP doesn't work, 2xp won't work either...like they're on the same system.

Either way, if you wanna level up your scrapper in AE, you don't need 2xp weekend for that. Fire/Kin and Emp Def = soft capped farm destructor. Add in fillers to taste.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, true, true...

Has anyone ever tried to make 1 Billion with NO XP? Basically roll a new toon and just wal over to WW. Make sure to avoid badges sicne they give XP.

Anyone done it yet?

Re: ...Is stuff cheap or expensive during Double XP?

yes







lol ... ok real answer. No one will know. Is AE going to get DXP? I don't think a redname has answered that question. Until then, it's all a guess.

[ QUOTE ]
So you sell them all cheap? Because otherwise they would sit for awhile and take up market slots... You would also over inflate the market with recipes right?

[/ QUOTE ] But not THAT kind of money if you want to sell them fast, IMHO.

[ QUOTE ]
They payed and played this game for OVER TWO YEARS, without ANY VRs.

[/ QUOTE ]
And then got them all retroactively, making this point moot.

The Veteran's Rewards system purposefully favours veterans over new players. Just admit it and move on.

[/ QUOTE ]

As someone who started CoH only this January I do take issue with the fact that I will never achieve the rewards and abilities others have thru the VR program. Because of this fact I am actively looking at "the other Superhero MMO" since I can start the game on a level playing field.

Is that what you really want for CoH? New players constantly seeing items they will never get so they decide to leave? How is that helpful to the longetivity of the game? And thus the veterans' enjoyment?

Why not make the VRs something I can purchase now if I want with real money or I can chose to wait and get them as a VR? OR how about making them all purchaseable and at each VR point you are given the right to choose one for free? Everyone wins and new players can either wait or buy them.

I regularly dump commons on the market at the price of 105 (gotta cover my costs, ya know). If I do MA, whatever I don't use in recipe rolls is used for common rolls.

It sure as hell sells, but I'm afraid though that people just immediately flip it and the net result is zero.

[/ QUOTE ]

Why not save those tickets? Salvage rolls seem wastefull to me unless you are a reaaaaallly lowbie toon. But that's just me.

I am honored to be mentioned in your annoucement. Congratulations, Mr. Knox.

Corruptor's.... Damage plus debuffs. Not as pain in the butt as a Mastermind. Not as much work as being a Brute (Tank). Dom's are fun too, and I love my earth Dom. Control plus Damage. I find stalkers a bit boring.

Just depends on what kinda stuff you want to do
