So we don't really know?

I've done more tests and I can still make in 5 minutes solo what I make with a full team in one hour. Zero exaggeration.

That's 20x more solo. With no herding what so ever. None. Just one or two LTs at a time.

Tests on TEST with the new patch. Or are you recording data from production/live.

If I understand your question then this should help.

doom?

Nice job! I'm loving a WP/Stone tank atm and I will be rolling up a Brute sometime during the 2nd half of the year.

I'll probably shoot for a bit of +rech and major +hp.

Well done!

Hmmm...kinda surprised. It just creeped on up heh.

I think Monday qualifies.

Where the heck is Synapse?

Trials

Trial: Second Respec Trial
Contact: Captain James Harlan
Merit rewards: 20 (-5)


Trial: Third Respec Trial
Contact: Major Richard Flagg
Merit rewards: 20 (-5)

So Trials now don't even give enough merits for a random trial roll? That's just stupid.

Why call it a trial recipe then?

Break the recipes up into common, uncommon, rare, and unique. Assign a value for a random roll to each catagory.

Trials never gave enough for a random roll, on either side.

True...and that makes no flippin' sense whatsoever.

Fair return is linked to whatever the next person will pay for your product.
I'm not sure that it's a worthwhile endeavor to try to figure out an expected return or value in this market.

Scarcity favors the seller, so offer accordingly, but be prepared to pull stuff off the market if the buy prices fall away from you.

Scarcity, in my world, over the last 10 days or so, has equated to a 50% mark up...without question or exception. I will pay a small penalty as I pull stuff down that won't sell b/c it's too high, but I'm okay with that.

Otherwise, posting high in a scarce environment has brought me ~ 1.2B INF across both sides since 2XP Saturday and I haven't flipped a dang thing. I certainly didn't expect to get such returns.

In relation to fair return, my point is...more so than the math, it's been a psychological effect that has bankrolled me.


Edit: Clarified my point.

They are not, however, in the mission complete pool or available from merits.

You can earn them from merits, I recieved a Apoc Chance for dmg (lethal IIRC) from the 46-50 Random Trial Reward.

No.

* Supposedly they are extremely rare (don't recall the math though)

* Drop only from mobs, so just like Pool A (but again rarer)

* Drop only from mobs that are "level eligible" to drop a level 50 recipe; so not less than level 47 bad guy, I would assume. I have gotten dozens of purples from level 48 through 52 mobs.

* Can drop into the tray of anyone of any true level provided they are sk'd high enough to receive xp. So, if facing level 50 mobs and you have a level 6 sk'd to a level 46 then the level 6 (as well as the level 46, of course) can get a purple drop

Looks like just a regular autumnal morning here in the U.S.


Edit: ooooo...daily maintenance notice!

Huh, you mean it's like all other events (except for this year's Halloween Event, which got an early start), in that it won't start until after scheduled maintenance for that day? Not a big surprise, for anyone who's been around for awhile.

Note that the Event might not be running when the servers come back up, though. Sometimes it takes a few minutes for them to flip the "event switch."

[/ QUOTE ]

Well darn my 56 months of existence around here!

I thought the maintenance window was earlier this morning. For whatever reason, I couldn't connect during most of the 8 o'clock hour (east coast), but when I did connect just before 9 o'clock there was no Santa.

So DR hasn't been thoroughly tested or analyzed yet...anywhere that anyone can find.
No Dev confirmation on whether or not DR applies to Ouro either.

Some hint at expected results would be helpful.

[ QUOTE ]
Except you get less merits each time due to the punishment of returns. These devs are so smart, its so strange to see them false advertise, mislead and make VERY poor decisions on the implementation of something that COULD have been good. Now it just stinks like a smelly river.

[/ QUOTE ]

Link or reference, please. I'd like to know the scaling.

And you meant "...each consecutive time..." correct?

Thanks Neuronia!

...what a big mess though.


(The design changes, not your write-up.)

Interesting market article.
I sure hope the Devs know how the Bid/Buy engine works.

Bumping the lolz yet again

Word. PD looks nice and ebil like.

You guys realize WHY that had to happen right?

You got yourself a purped out toon, and than you use the dual build option.

Ta-da, you now have 2x those purples. Now just respec and ROLL IN THE DOUGH!

So yeah, you guys should have been expecting that. And its really not that big of a deal. I'll prob have SO's and cheap sets for PvE, and save the good stuff for PvP.

[/ QUOTE ]

Good point...and those with a lot of disposable income and/or vet respecs could respec time-and-time again.

...and it smells like DOOM!!!!

yay linky!

You might be a genius.
Thanks for doing this!

In the interest of tl/dr, does your sheet easily apply NPC +RES?
If not, you or someone else out there should really add or integrate that functionality.
I know that there's a huge +RES excel sheet out there somewhere...from late '06 maybe?
