So, what you're saying is that you weren't flipping; you were crafting.

Some groups can still do it in 20 minutes. Just like some individuals can solo GM's. It's just a lot harder.

<sigh> No. The GARBAGE salvage is selling for 5 inf. Surely you've heard the phrase "vendor trash".

Psst, you're talking nonsense.
The flippers know how the market works. They don't come in here and complain about it. They USE it.

The way the consignment house works has a lot of parallels to the stock market. Read up on what market specialists do and why liquidity is a good thing.


And that has absolutely nothing to do with flippers. You're just not getting this. If a price just goes up and up, the flippers will be nowhere near that item - BY DEFINITION. If a price just goes up and up, you can't flip it. Flippers will buy at a low price, sell at a higher one, then buy the same thing at the lower price again. You can make money if an item keeps going up, but that's a completely different market tactic and you can lose a ton if the price drops. A flipper is waiting for the price to drop. If the price doesn't fluctuate like that, the flipper moves on to something else.

When a price skyrockets, it's because of sudden demand. With something like purples, it could be a single person who decided to finally purple out those toons that have been gathering dust. FYI, any time we get new powersets, you see EXACTLY that happen after a few weeks when the new toons get to 50.

Well, when people ask how long a task force is, they don't expect you to include recruiting time. You can do the Cathedral trial in 20 minutes - once you get all your cats herded up.

Wrong metaphor. A flash in the pan is something that goes by very quickly. I believe you mean "a drop in the bucket".

Two comments:

1) As far as I know, most of them aren't doing it to be helpful.
2) Despite the first two statements being accurate, you just KNOW that the clueless are reading your post and thinking that you're mocking them.

Entertainment value.
There is also no valid argument for costume contests, badge collecting, or even playing a MMORPG at all.... except to have fun. And fun is entirely subjective. Personally, I think the whole inf destruction bit is silly.

Oh YES you could. It was considered an exploit and it was fixed.

I would have one-starred him and attached a note so I could avoid him in perpetuity.

This, both parts.

And if your ex-guild leader is using the words 'Unstoppable' and 'Lord Recluse' in the same sentence, he doesn't have a clue. And I HAVE tanked LR on my invuln - without using Unstoppable (and I do have it).


P.S. I do actually have Unstoppable slotted for resistance - because it gets a slot for free and I didn't have anything else I wanted to put in it.

Actually, the random number generator is much better than that description would suggest (per actual testing by Arcanaville). The purpose of the streakbreaker is to prevent streaks that are perfectly acceptable statistically, but annoying to actual players.

If you know your odds to hit are 75% and you miss 5 times in a row, many players will get annoyed. Statistically, if you play a lot, this would be guaranteed to happen frequently. But, since it would seriously irritate some people, we have the streakbreaker to prevent it.

You would be appalled by how many people would agree with the statement, "Since my odds to hit are 3 out of 4, it's impossible to miss 5 times in a row."

I read this section and noted that you later indicated that it has been happening in all missions. The fact that it keeps happening "near the end" of this particular mission suggests to me that it might be happening at a REGULAR INTERVAL. Time it. Seriously. See if the time between mapserves is the same each time. If it is, that tells us that some hardware or software is doing something on a fixed schedule that interferes with the game.

Oh, and is your router wired or wireless? If wireless, can you connect with a cable for testing purposes?

Almost. I've done the 10 tip missions. Just need to do the Vigilante morality mission.

hmm.... Couldn't you be PASSIVELY heading toward death?
