The marketeers are insecure about what has become a situation where the tail (market mini game) wags the dog.
The market is what it is. If it gets changed, people will adapt and life will go on. -
Quote:Paragonwiki has feeble search also. On that site, I use Google to search and restrict the search to the paragonwiki.com domain. I wonder if that would work here?Originally Posted by CapnGeist
1) I'm sure it has, but our search function is godawful and I haven't seen it.
The people without SG's can just go to Wentworth's or Icon or whatever. We have personal vaults in our bases and invention worktables. Anyone without an SG has to visit a public Vault Storage or University.Quote:Originally Posted by Coolio
Must say I agree with this...
But I think the issue the devs have is more to do with the players without SG/VG's -

I am truly sorry tho, if your imagination has run dry and you cannot wrap your confused little mind around this well-worn but currently ignored concept of the game.

Quote:Are you referring to the suggestion to back everything up?Originally Posted by Malin0001
wish i could
If so, find a way to make it happen. Unless, of course, you're okay with losing EVERYTHING on your computer. OS upgrades aside, you should have back-ups anyway. With computers so omnipresent in our lives, it is no longer a question of *IF* you will suffer a hard drive failure or some other catastrophic data loss. It's only a question of *WHEN*. I've had a total hard drive failure TWICE so far. -
Quote:Really? I never see any such broadcasts. The only related thing I see is people looking for more for speed runs of task forces since those require you to have more people on the team.Originally Posted by Aaron_Islander
I have been playing on and off for the last 3 years. I just over the last few months came back and noticed that farming seems to be just as heavy as it was a year ago. Tons of broadcasts looking for more people and such.

Do you put it in the window for Christmas?

Unless I'm misremembering, wasn't the whole bit about half debt in missions implemented with the EXPLICITLY STATED GOAL of getting people off the streets? (To reduce zone lag.)

Glad you were able to sell it.
I'm guessing you were the guy on the market channel who didn't want to post it at Wentworth's since he didn't have enough influence to list it at a reasonable figure. -
Quote:And yet they let the requirement for the Empath badge stand for such a long time, even after PUBLICLY admitting it was a TYPO. Then they finally reduced it. Then they reduced it again by ANOTHER factor of ten.Originally Posted by UberGuy
That, and this Numi/Miracle/Regen thing feel like bugs they probably could have left alone, but fixed "just because they were broken."
The mind boggles, eh? -
Quote:Well, it has to be a realistic price, and that requires some background knowledge. Like today, I need a Simple Chemical. The last 5 sales were 40,000 <snort of amusement>. I put in an EXTRAVAGANT price that was less than 1/10th of that and went to do other stuff. The bid filled in less than 30 minutes.Originally Posted by Energizing_Ion
I always see this type of argument, "if you don't want to pay for x salvage at y price, just put a bid in for z price and wait a few days/a week."
Well I've done that on quite a few items (even waiting up to 1-2 weeks or whenever I log the char. back in) and still don't get the item. Now this excludes recipes or salvage that I try to 'low-ball' to get a purple or what have you at a really cheap price. -
We like to have multiple threads!
Anyway:
1) This has been suggested lots of times.
2) Cool avatar.
3) "Davy Bowie's Locker... I mean Jones! JONES!" Just curious - you know that David Bowie was born David Jones, right? -
Quote:Actually, you don't need to be on a team to get the healing badges.Originally Posted by Alpha-One
Just the opposite. The ONLY badges that need a team are the healing, TF/SF and related Master badges. Everything else can be done solo.
Also, don't forget, there are six badges for mentoring. -
Quote:In fact, the vast majority of badges have no solo/team bias. You can do them either way, depending on your personal preference.Originally Posted by Hard Kisses
i noticed that you get badges for nearly everything you do in the game, cept for solo efforts.
Perhaps you or the people you play with PL and/or doorsit. I don't. And yet I somehow managed to get all the AE badges. Imagine that.Quote:i honestly cannot believe there isnt one or a few already, considering you get AE badges, which is like getting rewarded for being a good PLer or doorsitting.
There aren't a lot of badges that require teaming. And I would say there are only 7 that directly reference teaming - the six mentoring badges and the AE badge that specifically is for a full team effort. What would you suggest for a 'soloers badge'? Spend X hours *NOT* on a team? Doesn't that seem silly? -
I'm in for team one with Agent Pitchblende, earth/rad.

You can say that again!

Quote:Is it time yet to start the comparisons to Hitler?Originally Posted by poptart_fairy
But, Iunno. In before the parallels to Churchill or something. Maybe we can throw in a post on how the lack of influence at lower levels is on par with Haiti survivors. Something classy, like.

Sounds useful. Thanks for the info.

Quote:This is subject to debate. There is now a great scarcity of mid-range level recipes. When you got a random TF recipe, it was at the TF level. Now, when you take a random roll, it's either at your level or as high as the set goes.Originally Posted by Local_Man
Merits replaced the random roll. In fact, Merits are far, far better.

Just wanted to be 1st after a red name since for some reason that seems to be a thing...

Firstly, there was no such nerf.
Secondly, you probably shouldn't use the term 'Patrol XP' since that applies to something completely different.
People are encouraged to do instanced missions by two factors:
1) End of mission bonuses.
2) The debt you receive when defeated is HALVED inside instanced missions.
I would suggest they are also encouraged by variety and stories. I find street sweeping boring. -

It's not exactly the most common name and I think there's also a baddie in Croatoa named Penny you fight as well ...

Quote:As long as we're all clear that running at +4 does nothing to give you more purples.Originally Posted by AresSupreme
Also as you get more comfortable playing your fire/kin and once you ding 50 you will realize that x8 is nothing. I run my firekin +4 x8. It just takes some practice. Once I got 4 purps in 3 missions. Meaning 1 purp, then i went to the next mish got another, and then in the 3rd mish i got 2.
BTW, I got 4 in 3 runs today.
Two were 'junk', but two were Ragnaroks. -

Quote:It's not laziness at all, as you correctly point out in your second paragraph. The system has an inherent bias toward the production of level 50 recipes.Originally Posted by Adeon Hawkwood
I think it's laziness rather than stupidity. Generating enough low level recipes to support a market requires people to play in a way that they don't necessarily enjoy.
Plenty of people (like me) would much rather play their level 50s or level a new character than play a perma-35 character. Consequently the supply of mid level recipes is low enough that buying them requires a lot of work.
