studios are allergic to anyone over 30.

as someone old enough to remember the pre-blockbuster Hollywood practice of opening films small and expanding if the audience was there, I boldly predict Red's older demographic will prove more loyal over the next few weeks than Jackass's. =P

How sad for you.

Oh pish posh, clearly the devs are VILE PROFITEERS who enjoy lighting cigars with $100 bills stolen from the collection plates of blind nuns.
Otherwise we'd get everything for free, plus a Magic Pony!


=P

seeking the silver lining, it's very handy for going AFK without having to worry about roaming aggro.

but yeah, it's definitely oh wow these auras are so great we can get away with a garbage power, can't we? time. =P

fix'ed.

Their decision to start testing I20 before I19 speaks to it being an unusual issue in some way.

so it's really hard for you to hit F1 and keep a row clear, or to go 3-1 and turn the junky ones into defense or damage to greatly improve your efficiency?

Huh.

Also big inspirations go for 100k+ on the market.
Not huge money, but hardly a 'garbage' drop.

It has less utility than the Party Pack, the whining would be epic.

Costume missions do stink and need work.

I'd like it if each mission unlocked something, which would be extra incentive to run them on those rare characters who emerge 'fully formed' from the generator and don't really have a use for more slots.

This is true, and there's some stuff in the game that definitely needs 'urban renewal'.

But I can also see it from the perspective that replacing existing content with upgraded stuff is 'content neutral' rather than expanding the game. If you rework a zone, the game still has the same number of zones. If you add a new one, you're up one zone. Yeah, that old zone is tired and boring and outdated, but its existence feeds the perception that the game is growing.

I don't agree with that philosophy, but I understand it.

I don't remember exactly, but it wasn't a trivial investment.

The whole thing can be summed up as players like the good stuff a lot more than they like junk.

The 'good stuff' will be correspondingly expensive whatever label is attached, while the junk will be cheap.

There's nothing to be gained by comparing 'good' recipes or IOs with junky ones, regardless of what labels are affixed to either.

Supply and demand rule all, labels be damned.

HAH that's a great name!

lots of really cool costumes too....grrrrr.

Oh they changed that ridiculous game mechanism?

Neat!

That means the next one I make probably won't get deleted in a fit of nerdrage.

I find it amusing that anyone other than one of AF's fellow, ah, unreality enthusiasts is taking exception to Uber here.

Being "annoying" in the service of truth and reality is a badge of honor.

well here specifically I was thinking of salvage.
Given that you do get occasional bid creepers, if you were buying big stacks of something for 40k and listing them for 100, you might end up taking a hit just because your original investment was bigger. Buying for 1k you can afford a lot more 'spoilage' from savvy buyers than you'd be able to sustain buying at 40k.


I've been doing exactly that with a couple of different recipes- not LotGs, but stuff that's "worth" 20-40 million and that I'm listing for about what I paid for it. I could probably list lower and still make my inf, but as noted the more you have invested the fewer times you can afford to get burned, so I try to list to ensure at least a slight profit.

But, it would totally work as long as you stayed in the sweet spot between the real tightwad lowball bids and the people who want to buy it soon-ish.


Again, when you're dealing with higher priced stuff you have to keep your tolerances tighter. Yeah, it would probably work, but I'm not the guy who'd bet a big pile on it. I'd list high enough to at least break even to avoid taking a hit from lowballers.

I do work a bunch of niches where the key is getting supply 'below market'.
It can take a long time to collect supply, but when you've got as many alts as I do that's no problem. I just set someone I don't play much up with enough inf to blanket a level range with lowball bids and usually when I check back in them in a week or month or whatever they've got some winners. Flip, or craft and sell, and bob's your uncle.

You can make a really amazing amount of inf in this game just being patient.

If it's something with a fairly high 'sell through' I don't worry about pushing the envelope, I just try and keep my costs down so that a 'last 5' sale will generate profit in my happy place. =D

Ah, that's why I was confused- I only paid attention to it while I was actively flipping salvage which of course didn't involve logging in another char.
