  1. That really sucks. I've been there before, which is why I no longer keep more than a billion on any character that is actively using the market.
  2. For me it just depends how fast it sells. If I'm only making 10 million profit, I want several to move in a day. If I'm making 100 million profit, I don't mind if it sits for a day or two.
  3. Market griefers, I mean flippers, are the cause of high prices. The devs need to do something about them. I'm tired of being forced to pay such high prices on IOs I need to make my build respectable.

    I do! But a good crazy.

    This way there would still be a penalty, but not such an excessive one that no one would use it.
    I like the OP's overall point, but I think Snow's prices are much better. I approve.

    I knew exactly what the person meant. I just wanted confirmation before I started laughing. Didn't expect to get a page of discussion on it though. I'll look at it as a bonus.
  7. A super moderated channel like you described I find stupid. I would quit the channel, global ignore the aggressive mod, and then forget about the nobody. But that's just me. If others like it, good for them.

    I don't understand what you're talking about here.
  9. So I went ahead with my most recent build posted, except I added another slot into Tough and Kismet +6% into Combat Jumping.

    Then I took her out for a spin and soloed the ITF with her! I have screenshots, but for some reason it doesn't capture the UI, so I have no proof.

    That actually annoys me a lot.

    It was pretty easy, for the most part. No deaths until the final mission against Nictus Romulus. I didn't know how to pull him properly, so I just took out the nictus AVs first, then took him down. Most of my deaths came because after each nictus AV was defeated I got stunned. I think I died four or five times total.

    So all in all, I'm extremely happy with my build. Now to see what I can do against a pylon.
  10. Maybe shorten the activation time so this becomes less frequent?

    At the time we originally announced the go live date for GSA, everything was progressing on time and we were on target to hit the date. If we did not give the players enough of a heads up, they would be unprepared and surprised by this development. Also, consider we were going up against the Royal Wedding (something we could not consider in our development schedule), which while completely separate, demanded a lot of attention from players in the EU.

    Unfortunately an unanticipated issue demanded that we push the date. In this case, we would much rather give our Community an overabundance of information and look bad in pushing the date back than to not give our players enough forewarning.
    Good points. Sometimes that risk must be taken, like the reasons you just gave. In general though I've noticed Paragon Studios(and most other game studios) don't like to give dates when it can be avoided.

    But like you said, in this case you're damned if you and damned if you don't.

    I'm considering it. I don't know for sure that I wanna drop that kind of influence into a single IO(the defense pvp IO I already had, only reason I'm using it). How much of an impact do you think an extra 3% resist will have on my build?

    That is not how I read the OP at all. I read it merely as a 'good job' devs post written in sarcasm.

    It's all about perception. If the perception is you are constantly late on deadlines or break promises, that is bad for business. It doesn't even matter how reasonable or accurate those perceptions happen to be. The end perception(not reality) is the only thing that matters.

    I agree. There has been multiple occasions where I've canceled my sub for the final time, not out of anger or anything, but just because it is time to move on after playing the same game for so many years. But then something comes out and I just gotta try it, and I usually end up really liking it. So I keep giving them my money. It's wrong!

    I'm not sure if that idea is serious or born of frustration with the thread, but if these trials were zone events they would be disasters. The Hamidon encounter is built in such a way that people can either get with the program or leech, but really can't do much to grief people trying to do the trial honestly. Not so much with the Incarnate trials.
    Well if they trials were set up as Arcana mentioned, logic would dictate the badges would change as well for the very reasons you mentioned.

    If we don't like how the LFG tool works (and consequently, the raids connected to it), we make suggestions to hopefully get it changed. Until then, if we choose to use it, we're stuck using it the way it is.

    If I'm trying to use it differently (create private leagues by kicking people) before these features (bugs?) are changed, I'm using it in an unintended manner, inconvienencing (or worse) people that are using it correctly.

    That puts me in the wrong.

    Why is this concept so hard to grasp?
    It's not hard to grasp. Maybe people just don't care what the intended manner is.
  18. I say keep the plans are originally intended, then in a few months offer a way for people to get the badge. That way you get the test you want, and everybody will eventually get the badge.

    On the other hand it amuses me how many people posted an emphatic NO to the suggestion and went on to rant about how bad free to play is. They obviously didn't even read the suggestion but only responded to the title of the thread.
    It's because people are afraid of the boogeyman* and close minded. They have already decided F2P is evil(though the suggestion wasn't for turning CoH into F2P), and nothing you can possibly say would make them consider otherwise.

    *The boogeyman represents anything people don't understand or fear.
  20. I need to hang out in these forums more often. They look interesting. Also, I want to get in on this Hami raid griefing!

    True, but that is the way Snow prefers it. And obviously what he wants is more important. And if you think what you want is more important, that makes you a jerk.

    It would be really funny if they rethought this the same way they "rethought" the rule changes to Comic Culture forums.
