All,

I am 3-boxing (running all 3 of my accounts) on some AE maps, and I'm getting a large discrepancy in the number of tickets each of my characters is getting. Two of my characters are getting about 300-400 tickets for some of the missions, but one of my charactes is getting 900-1200 tickets on the same mission.

The characters are all roughly in the same level range (35-37) while I've been observing this. The team leader character is one of the 2 lower level ones, and they character getting 3x the tickets is the high level guy.

None of them are in SG mode. All of them are doing about the same damage (3 fire dominators).

What gives? Does anyone know why this is happening? I'm still capped at 1500 (my 3x guy has hit the cap once or twice in a mission) but its sorta irritating. I'm not sure if he is getting too much or if the others are getting too little.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Lewis

I 3box as well and have noticed ticket discrepancies (in my favor) since the cap was implemented.

Huh. Why would removing the Fog of War be useful?

... unless... Maybe you can use it in the Shadow Shard?

A true benefit of being here since the beginning, if there ever was one!
Just makes things a bit less annoying.

Exactly my thought. I -am- a farmer, and I hate the spam. I hate contributing to it so much that I typically do solo (or maybe 3-4 people with my friends) rather than fill to 8-man spawns with AE spam. This would be ideal.

Also: I'm the kind of farmer you guys should love. Impatient to sell, of the opinion that I'd rather sell 50 recipes for 2m each than 2 recipes for 50m each - meaning I tend to sell low and in high volume. :P

[ QUOTE ]
lets hope that they wont do that. after all the preaching about risk vs rewards.....

if you can solo an 8 man mob then you should reap the rewards of an 8 man mob.... IMHO

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm with you. I don't think there should or will be a penalty.
I also think the slider will apply to MA.
I think the Devs want to give players more options as opposed to more limits.

Side note: It would be grand...just GRAND, if they altered merit rewards to scale along with either the old (or new) difficulty settings...within Ouro and on TFs.

If you have 2 accounts and can run 2 fire/kins on the wall, its REALLY easy. Set the one kin on follow with auto cages and the lines won't move.

This...

and 2 Psi Doms are good too, but not quite as much since Dom2.0

[ QUOTE ]
Other plus side: our hovering windows on recipes are back.

If that alone was i16, I think I'd be happy.

Ok!
You've hooked meh. Now stop yelling.

They did, they changed the drop rates to rep based kills only, meaning that you can no longer get drops in arena and only in pvp zones and because pvp sucks so horribly in this game I do not foresee prices going down anytime soon.

[/ QUOTE ]

They can be gotten in the Arena. But on the rep timer rules. So best case you could only get like 4-5 of them in a 30-minute match, assuming you won the lottery while being struck by lightning by getting a drop every time you were eligible based on the timer.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is the "10 minute" rule still?
Or is it another rule? Or something new?
And there are no other restrictions on PvP drops?

Sorry...I've lost track of the PvP goings-on a bit.

No.

To claim an extra zero, but with the first digit being what it is it gets me halfway to a billion! Clicked get inf before I even noticed the extra zero lol.

500,000,000 Zephyr proc and me!

[/ QUOTE ]


hahahaha...that's all kinds of aWeSoMe!

My best was 85M instead of the going rate of 8.5M
Scirocco or Posi proc red side.

[ QUOTE ]
What do you consider a worthwhile flip? As in, for one recipe flipped, how much profit is considered worthwhile? 1 mil? 10? 50?

Just a noob starting to do this wondering. I've been doing about 25 mil per enhancement, selling one or two a day.

[/ QUOTE ]

I just pretty much feel my way around.

My minimums are...
500% margins for Pool A, B and C.
25% for LotGs7.5, LotG Defenses, Miracle uniques and Numina Heal, Heal/Rech and uniques, et al.
Purples: I only sell them these days.

The result you experienced is not exclusive to the AE.

[/ QUOTE ]

Unless there is some way for a single level 50 to SK 7 people under level 40 then it probably is.

[/ QUOTE ]

lol now that you've cleared up your OP then yes, I would agree.

From my POV, MA has amplified the "weekend effect".
There are rare A's that are pretty cheap and uncommon A's that are quite pricey.
I've seen wild swings, but no trends.

The result you experienced is not exclusive to the AE.

. . .to whoever dropped 100 mill on a lvl 35 end mod/rech recipe.

I was checking in on a toon who was 45 days offline. Good thing I did.

And yes, I spent it already.

[/ QUOTE ]

It was an 77M miskey on a Scirocco proc that got me started on the red side market.
I didn't spend it though. I turned it into much, much more.

I've got no problems with trying going Storm for my next trio.
2 out of 3 with an FF thrown in the 3rd spot maybe.

Ohhhh...and think of the goodness that could be Demon/Storm.

I just started an advanced (that is, PL'd) 2box duo of Thugs and Bots/Dark.
Had some good laughs last night....granted the critters were Council.

Feeling bold, I even tried a custom +3 AV, but got smolly-whopped pretty good lol.

One thing is for certain, I need to check the guides for some good macros and binds.
Need to pick up some -KB as well.

Before the weekend's out, I'll be adding a Bots/FF for a nice trio.

[ QUOTE ]
All in all, I'm glad I don't focus on purple sets for most of my builds. My uber, GM-soloing builds do fine w/o a single purp.

[/ QUOTE ]

This.

Across all 14 (?) of my 50s I have less than 10 purple sets slotted...and 2 or 3 purple procs. I'm only interested in selling them.
Repeat Offenders teams and 3-boxing "solo" have made me very blah about slotting purples.

I never cared much for the "explanation" either, but I like how my imaginary dots line up going forward.

If it works well then maybe the GR market model gets rolled out to Paragon and RI.

In parallel, they could make the markets more of an integrated storyline.
One could write content for days and days off of that!

1. Any system in which to go to Paragon/Rogue Isles, your villain/hero is stripped of all IOs and downgraded to lvl 1 first and has to level back up again.

2. Any system where a third market is created and GR is treated as a co-op city, and not true crossover.

3. Any system in which the markets aren't merged, and illogically you are allowed to take items back and forth at will--it's illogical because at that point, you might as well merge the f*&^%$g markets.


[/ QUOTE ]

Posi more or less said no merger for a very long time. I have to say I like the idea of a co-op market, neutral market, courier system. I would just set up operations in all three and coordinate. It worked fabulously for the Rothschilds.

I am pretty certain that player positions on 2 and 3 are just chest puffing, but 1 is the deal breaker.

[/ QUOTE ]

I've interpreted Posi's past merger comments to mean that he continues to be cautious on implementing any changes, b/c once done, such changes cannot be undone.

Now, if one creates a somewhat isolated environment within which a market merger can be done AND within which it only applies...

...complete an arc or two in GR-land to unlock "merged market access"
...as you make your earnings and gain experience, some portion of your GR-land earnings become converted into the "merged market currency"
...you can use this currency only in GR-land
...those enhancements made from the GR-land merged market will work in GR-land AND in Paragon and RI
...however, the attributes and/or set bonuses from those enhancements are slightly inflated (that is, in the player's favor) if they are used in GR-land as opposed to Paragon and RI

Just some ideas...and I'll recognize the possible challenge of coding GR-land enhancements so that they can't be transported into Paragon and RI for trading. Preventing them from being marketed in Paragon and RI is probably a lot easier, I would think.

Quicksand only slows movement, Chilling Embrace fills that gap and it's added slow makes sure enemies wont be escaping your Earthquake since it's a terrible idea to take the Earth mass immob. Ruins the mitigation of earthquake.


[/ QUOTE ]

How do the critters react to such -speed stacking (QS + CE, that is)?

Do they proceed to run (albeit slowwwwwly) out of the effect radius even when you are landing attacks?

Nice work!
And nice work hiding your current niche!

[ QUOTE ]
exactly what im doing...thinking the markets wil be together and the toons i want im into super saver mode atm

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm with yas here...and nothing (INF-wise, that is) is lost if it doesn't turnout that way.
My goal is 10B across both sides by Nov 1.

I've farmed since i9 and have gotten many, many, many purples.
I've sold each and every one of them except for 2 unbreakables and 2 amazements.
I could be an outlier though.

[ QUOTE ]

Using neutrino bolt as your only attack would not be a good plan.

*Plink plink plink*

target feels kinda warm

*plink plink plink*

Target gets sleepy and has a nap while you try to kill them

*200 plinks later*

Woot, 1 kill!

"Plink" ... hilarious!
