#2 is the capslock reiteration of #1 to make sure it sinks in.

Also I made 10 million more on the second sale, implying that even a ridiculous price you pull out of thin air could still be too low if demand is high enough and supply low enough.

they flatlined during Meow Fever etc etc.
Now that they've got MA semi under control the really low level ones have bounced back.

mmhmm.

maybe costume drops made 'em gun shy about drop rates low enough to be meaningful.

happily my blaster is level 50 and has the full panoply of Oro goodness to choose from.

=D

Nothing so dramatic.

Any comic reader over a certain age would immediately recognize the name from the Wolfman/Perez run on New Teen Titans.

And Google is hard to use or something?

if players are expected to exercise due diligence or get generic'ed you'd expect a corporation with a lot more on the line than a name and costume to do the same.

It remains hypocritical and insulting.

They didn't seem very eager to "defend" their original design for the Black Market semi against the Transformers franchise.

In any case double standards that crap on paying customers are a bad idea.

I'm not surprised by this, I'm simply pointing out the hypocrisy of hammering players for something they themselves indulge in.

I know they ignore the bonus from Targeting Drone, which makes me think you're on the money here.

Over the years many players have tried that argument with a notable lack of success.

Exactly!

LotG recharges were where I first discovered the rule, way back when.
Until I publicly 'outed' my niche I was consistently buying them for 20-30 million and selling them for 100+.

Nice to see it still works even in our modern merit-infested world.

I myself have been making bank on the fact that the interface LOVES to find enhancements and HATES to find recipes.

=P

Uggh, good point. I ignore those vet rewards, I think I've only claimed them on on character.

The annoying part is they're token amounts. They're about as useful to me as (yet another) free costume token.

But while we're in wish for a Magic Pony! mode, how about a branching reward- you get *either* the merits or either the ability to email merits to yourself or an account-wide 'merit pool' any of your characters can roll from.

Come to think of it, the account-wide pool would help fix the drought of non-max level recipes. Earn the merits with your IO'ed out 50, roll them on one of your lower level alts if you want.

So I hear from helpful folk sending me PMs. =D

(thanks, gang!)

You can be absolutely sure that *anything* good (this is the operative word- good. If it's good, volume is irrelevant) with 0 listings is underpriced. Buyers know it's good and they are sucking up 100% of the supply. A smart seller notices this and prices accordingly.

The price of adjoining levels has no bearing. As we speak I'm buying up a different 'good' recipe. I'm getting it for around 200k at one level, 3 million at another and 5 million at another. I'm selling all three of them for around the same price and making a grotesque profit on the lot.

This is why it's useful to know the value of items independent of what other players are selling it for. The 0 listing thing is a shortcut to spotting value.

that doesn't make any sense.


I don't like the thumbnail format, guess i'll just have to hand-edit it to the proper size.

I'll definitely post the big respec build. I have probably 80% of what he'll need sitting in base storage and I have a good chunk of the inf I'll need to buy the rest of it, so Zero Hour is fast approaching. There are some powers I don't want to lose so it'll be a modified version of the helpful suggestions above- I'm actually going to (finally) install Mid's to plan it out.

I'll do a big reveal with build and screenshots and maybe a marching band. =)

I stumbled onto a team running pt 1 of the new Posi TF (good times, I highly recommend it) last night while checking my bids. IOs have definitely bumped up his 'fun factor', even if he isn't (yet) the monster he was in his pre-ED prime.

Sweet, I'll keep that in mind!

Thanks Cat. =D

I'll join the bandwagon too!

I haven't noticed the end on FT being outrageous, but I'll take your word for it. I don't mind the DoT either, or the animation time, so my affection for the power is obviously atypical. =P

Ditto.
It's a fantastic power I ignored for a very long time, kinda like the way my kat/regen scrapper ignored Divine Avalanche until after he hit 50. =/

It doesn't *sound* sexy compared to most of the other stuff in the set, but once you use it you wonder how you ever got along without it.

Playing off that, I'd like it burst and slug were given some kind of crazy extreme range too- make it the 'range set' instead of just the sniper set.

My fire/ice can get max performance out of Rain, although I realize he's a special case. A fire/dev (if such a beast existed) could also maximize Rain with some crafty use of Caltrops.

I'm not a numbers guy, but where the rubber meets the road my fire/ice blows the doors off my ar/dev, and they're both about evenly IO'ed out at this point.

I do agree with this. It's a really good AoE set with some quirks.
I still wish it had better synergy with /dev.

This would've been great for our team- we mowed pretty much everything in all the missions except for the big Atlas Park map at the end, and I think we ended up clearing about 1/2 of it even so.

Yep, it was great fun and I highly recommend it. Fun maps, cool story, challenging without being irritating, and even the combination of clocks, Spectral Followers and a big Oranbega map couldn't dampen my enthusiasm. =P

Hopefully I'll stumble into a team running pt 2 one of these days. If it measures up to pt 1 it would make a great way to spend an evening.
