    Huh?

    Where in your post is any mentioning of HOs?

    And even then, it doesn't matter at what level you slotted them. SO/DO/TO/HO performance is only depended on difference between your actual level and the level of enhancement, not when you slotted them.

    IO isn't affected by level difference at all. If level 50 IO gives 42.4% enhancement. It will give you the same 42.4% whether you slotted it at level 47, 48, 49 or 50.

    Here is the relevant part:

    Quote:
    The amount of buff that regular enhancements give to a particular aspect (range, damage, etc…) varies by its relative level to the character. A +3 regular enhancement provides more buff than a -3 enhancement. Not so with IOs – their buff is constant and does not change with the level of the character, only with the level of the IO. A level 40 IO will give more buff than a level 20 IO, but the amount of that buff will remain the same whether the player is level 40 or level 50.

    Check this out on a lvl 47 toon look at what a lvl 50 IO will give you then check the same enhancement on one of your lvl 50s . you will understand then.
    It works only for SO/DO/TO/(S)HO, not for IO.

    It doesn't work this way.

    It doesn't matter whether you slotted lvl50 IO at level 47 or 50. It always gives the same enhancement value.

  7. Hmm... I had problem with Vet badge. It was awarded silently to all my toons, so I had to manually set its title.
  8. it is 1.8B to break even, not 1.9B
  9. Can't devs finally bite the bullet and make freespecs stackable?
  10. Devs are only one part of your problem...

    According to this post these are another part

    Surely it is my personal opinion but 2 bill for 1 IO is just wrong. And it wouldn't happen if ppl didn't go to <insert korean page here> and buy bill for 15 bucks.

  11. Devs need to fix that, or "...and there we not be a COH IT WELL BE GONE TO THE AMERICANS!!!!!!! "

    With Hess, you know he's on that ledge overlooking the base so you just make your way along until you spot him.

    EDIT: I don't know what the price is for a min-level LoTG; I have only been watching the level 50's. It may still be 150M for a level 30, in which case "100 merits" is a much more significant 110M inf.
    I'd concur.

    One of my toons is sitting near 9900 merits.
    I used to convert any merits exciding 9900 into A-Merits and buying level 25 LotG 7.5 with it, to be ready for i19.

    I've found that I'm much faster earning 50 merits than 20 millions inf.
    So to cover these 20M inf, I probably need to do 1-2 additional rolls (20 - 40 merits) making 1 A-Merit equal to 70-90 r-merits.

    Oro limitations on any arc's aren't exactly player friendly in this instance since you cant join any teams untill u finsih whatever goals your shooting for. Players/teamates must be within level range ..
    So you need the time to commit to the Oro arc .. wish you could pick individual missions thru from Oro list in this particular arc since the new replacement is broken
    I'm wondering if it became broken in some recent patch.

    I've done this mission solo on my bane in first 2-3 weeks after i18 release ( against Siege EB though ).
    While he seemed to be little more difficult than most of EBs, I haven't had any problems with his heals. I had to kite around alot to avoid his orbital nuke though.

    I don't remember about all villains maps, but for my hero turned villain the following maps are definitely in "Fog of War": PO, Nerva, GV.

    For my villain turned hero all maps in Shadow Shard, except of FBZ are black.

    Have you considered doing some rolls in 10-14 range?

    6-9 months ago I've been rolling 50% of my merits in 10-14 range and another 50% in 35-39 range. I found that 10-14 was quite profitable. Shield breakers, Theft of the Essence, Call to Arms, Clouded Senses and Eradication still commanding fairly good prices on market, and I saw Basilisk Quad selling in 80-120M range. 10-14 also gives best chance for BotZ KB prot, but it's prices went down significantly since i18.

Keeping 4 in the build everything else will go to mostly Purples which I'm hoping the HOs provide funds for a set or two.
    I'd recommend not to bother with centrioles. You can buy them under 100K with little patience or for 1M if you need them RIGHTNAO
  20. You can trade them using trade UI, you can put them into SG enhancement table, you can drop them on another character by drag-n-drop. There is some caveat though. When it changes hand few times it might get stripped of + or ++.

    I got him as last level 50 contact on my hero turned villain. But I don't remember whether I was selecting different contacts when I had choice to select Pither, or it was natural progression.

    In fact, DE in tip missions have elevated base To-Hit = 64%.
