Fulmens

And I'm in business. 10 gets you 8.5, either way. Cause I have ... plans.

I admire your shinies and hope they give you great pleasure.

(I'm not a hoarder, myself. I do different things, which are even less comprehensible to most people.)

You've done everything I can think of. Have you considered writing your own AE arc? I know, it'll probably get run by you and maybe six of your friends, but you might enjoy it.

Cheers!

I also use the "Find" button as my current workaround for this bug. (new post,adds nothing.)

You can also get through the crash pretty well with two medium purple insps.

RF2009 is a freedom channel. Now that they've cleared out the deadwood, Radio Freedom might be back. (I'm recent to freedom and not that knowledgeable.)

I think people are piling on the OP a little more than necessary.

FIRST: The new graphics settings are, in fact, brutal. They're pretty, with the shiny water and the nifty shadows and the reflection of You In A Window (for some windows), but they're brutal. At one point before I turned things down, I was getting about seven frames per second.

SECOND: The new graphics settings are new. Like, two weeks old. They may get better optimized. ULTRA in this case means "Ultra-pretty, ultra-slow" and not "ultra-fast."

So what do you do? As suggested, turn it down. Shadows and reflections are two of the biggest culprits. I'm not a real expert: try these two guides.

You shouldn't have to be a mechanic to drive a car, but right now this game has gotten back to that state, a little bit.

Welcome to Paragon, hope you like it better once you get settled in.

EDIT: I knew there was something to watch out for, but I didn't find it before I hit send.

What Rod meant was "Sometimes there are 300 bids for an item and NONE of them is a decent price." There are people that shotgun out dozens of low bids (Luck of the Gambler for 11 million, or whatever) in the hope that two things will happen:
1) The owner of the item lists really low, through misjudgement, mistyping, or [in this case] market bug.
AND 2) Nobody else has a decent bid sitting on the item.

There's a famous screenshot of the Luck of the Gambler 7.5% where the last five go something like this (I don't remembe the exact numbers):
40,000,000
35,000,000
40,000,000
11,111
32,000,000

That, there, was a lowball bid that paid off.

The theory behind the invention system is that there isn't One Best Way to do things. There certainly are a couple of ways that (if you have billions) are very trendy: ultra-high-recharge and ultra-high-defense are a couple of them.

I guess the question is, like with all things, "What do you want the character to DO?" Think of it like you're buying a car. Is a Porsche 911 better than a pickup truck? Depends on whether you want to pick up 1000 lbs. of bricks or 105 lbs. of Jersey girl. I have a lot of Honda-type characters. None of 'em are going to tow three tons, none of 'em are going to break 150 MPH, but they get me where I'm going and they cost less than my house.

What are your goals and what is your budget?

I thought that was the bombs that dropped L50 items. I have no proof either way, though.

L30, exactly, is a bit easier to get because Rikti invaders drop L30 stuff. (I believe zombies do too. )

Very much personal choice. I like the 30-33 range, buying 33-36es. You have to shop WAY in advance, though.

Got it to happen! (note: 90% of this is irrelevant, I'm sure, but I don't know what are the important steps.)

1. Logged in in Ouroboros. Zoned to Talos. Went to Market.
2. Stored a crafted Thunderstrike Dam/End/Rech, level 50.
3. Listed it for 2,100,908 .
4. Stored another crafted Thunderstrike Dam/End/Rech, level 50.
5. Listed it for same price, not touching the listed price.
6. Brought up Salvage, dragged a Kin Weapon into storage [had 11].
7. It asked me how many I wanted, I put "10"
8. "Posting at this price will result in a large posting fee [1,000,whatever]. Are you sure?"

The two differences between the LAST time I tried this, which did not attempt to autolist:
a) I was in Ouroboros, and had to zone
b) Last time, my Kin Weapons were actually needed for a recipe I had.

EDIT:

Attempt #2: Logged into wents, listed only one T-strike before the kinetics, did not get bug. But that was also a relogin.

#3: Logged into Ouro from desktop, listed two T-strikes, got bug.
#4: Logged into Wents from desktop, listed two T-strikes then kinetics, got bug.
#5: Relogged into Wents, listed two T-strikes then kinetics, did NOT get bug. It also filled in the number of kinetics as "10" instead of showing an empty field.

If anyone else can describe a different path to the bug, that would probably be a huge help to the devs.

I'm trying to come up with a reproducible set of circumstances where the market sells something you were trying to store, at a previously set price.

I want to be clear- I know this bug exists. It's happened to me. It's happened to other people in this forum. What I'm trying to come up with is a set of steps to reproduce the bug. Ideally, a set of steps that reproduces the bug EVERY time, but if it only happens sometimes... so it goes.

EXAMPLE :

"I logged in from desktop, went straight to the market, bought a Steel for 100,000. Relisted it for 50,000. Picked a stack of 10 Kinetic Weapons from my Salvage, put them on the market, it asked me how many I wanted to sell, when I entered 10 it immediately sold them for 50,000 each." (Note: this is an example of format. It didn't actually trigger the bug.)

Let's give the Devs something to work with, here.

Here's to us, my good lady.

Here's to us.

On my first character, a scrapper, I didn't take my mez protection until my level 32 respec.

To be fair, Unyielding Stance (at the time) turned off Temp Invulnerability AND kept you from moving unless you teleported. But still... that was a lot of ugly for a few levels there.

There is a difference, of course, between "3-400 bids" and "3-400 bids at 2 billion inf". I have no good mental model for how many of those are srs bids. 10? 100? No idea.
