i know "too much" is fairly subjective, i usually try to save all my inf for the IOs and stuff because market prices are insane

if it was as cheap as 10 mil, i might consider doing something like this cause i can usually make that in a fairly reasonable amount of time, i wasnt assuming "too much" based on how much i had on me at the time, but how much i can average make per week (and this is average play like just running mishs and selling average drops on the market)

this is exactly what i would do if they charged too high of a rate, and i do agree that they wouldnt let us use ALL of the billboards (im sure they would let us use ones in extremely underused zones)


this is also exactly what i was saying about if you charge too high of an inf rate people wont use it, in order for it to be a sink, people need to make use of it, the little idea i came up with was affordable, and yet a huge sink (the for the longer you extended it), so if you really really wanted your arc to be posted, you would have to fork some extra dough, but for just 1 week on 1 billboard you wouldnt fork over an arm and a leg for it


they dont even have to make us use tbe billboards, they could just have NPCs scattered throughout the zones that say what you want them to say in like NPC chat so if you walk by you will see the chat (kind of like 3/4 of the normal NPCs that walk around, this NPC would be static because it would be too hard to go from a static clickable NPC to a walking around NPC)

with this, most of the times the rez animation fails mostly due to having a fortune (from what i noticed), if i dont have a fortune, i will rez fine

i think the fortune animation is overriding the rez animations that should play at same time

if it was AoE they would prolly increase the rech to 6 min cause with only 2 min as the rech now its not too difficult to drop the rech under 1 min to near healing flames rech

it would make more sense to be an AOE, but with how the power works right now, it would be insanely overpowered as an AoE

this is what i was thinking, repair isnt as bad as most poeple think, while serum is just a complete waste of a power

the merc serum power is like giving one of your henchies a tier 9 power like unstop and it has the same effect of a nuke crash (essentially making them worthless until they can recovery end again)

repair unslotted has 2 min recharge and 16.25 end cost, but its autohit and uninterruptable

serum has 16min40 sec rech, costs 13 end and gives the pet 52.5% resist to all but psi, +100% recov rate, mez protection, +10% tohit, and +7.5% all dmg for 1 min, then after 1 min they get the nuke crash of -100 end and no recovery for 20 sec

i was assuming no stealthing, the average team (approx half the team has done it and half the team has not)

i know ive done 15 min tarikoss sf, 45 min ITFs, 1 hour LRSFs, ect, but that was on a very experienced team stealthing/skipping as many mishs as possible

if you make it too high, poeple will see it as a waste (a very good example of this is inf -> prestige conversion at the sg registrar, nobody uses it because the exchange rate is horrible and you actually make better prestige just killing things)

if you make the signs 100 mil or even 1 billion a week, the higher you make the less and less people will want or can even afford to use it unless they really try to play the market to make 1 billion inf in a reasonable amount of time

i do understand that 10 mil might be a bit low, but you have to assume that people have to actually use the system to get rid of the inf, if you saw from my example, "renting" 1 billboard isnt too expensive, but it still removes inf from the system while the rich guy gets charged a fortune for renting 3 additional billboards, the system i devised is to make it seem cheap until you start adding in extra billboards, then the price skyrockets.

think about it, 1 billboard isnt gonna do much or anything (depending on location) to help get the word out that your sg is recruiting or whatnot, so if you want to get your word out to more poeple, the logical thing to do is rent more billboards, but that gets expensive as seen in my example.

my method may not be the most efficient method, but the point is to remove inf from the system, and it will do that fine because its not outrageously priced to the point poeple will never use it (hence the sg registrar inf to prestige conversion, a direct inf sink but the conversion rate makes it not worth it, and so very very few poeple actually use it)

this would be good, but 100 mil is a bit steep, on a good day i can make maybe 5-10 mil inf per day (not selling anything on market) (and im also a bit more active than a "casual" player)

maybe something like 10 mil per week, then charge an additional 100 mil for extra billboards they want to use

like an ad it could run for determined amount of time between 1 week and 4 weeks, since each week would be 10 mil, then to run it for 4 weeks its 40 mil for just the first billboard, then 100 mil per week per extra billboard


so for example if someone wanted to use 4 billboards for 3 weeks

3 weeks x 10 mil = 30 mil
3 additional billboards x 100 mil = 300 mil x 3 weeks = 900 mil

total inf cost of the "ad" would be 930 mil for 4 billboards for 3 weeks


the more inf you had the more you could advertise your sg or something, but it wouldnt be overpriced for the casual player, since most of the cost is from additional billboards, since the single billboard would only be 10 mil
