This describes me. I buy mostly to outfit my own toons.

Before converters: I saved every purple drop I got, I had about 30 or so in base at any one time, I bought the ones I didn't have when I was outfitting a new toon.

After: I've bought up cheap purples at 150-200 million each and converted... I now have about 70-80 purples in my base, almost all from the 4 damage sets, and that's despite IO'ing out 3 toons post-DXP, one of them with 4 purple sets.

And I've bought Javelin Volleys for around 100 million and converted them to what I wanted. It was comparatively cheap to do.

I've been making money off flipping ATOs mostly lately... but I only started doing that after filling my base with about 450 of them for my own use. I have trouble selling something I might want to use later. ^_^ So yeah, don't sell purples, don't sell PvP IO procs.

He's just an angry bird.

It is certainly unintended for some situations... the Citadel Task Force still sends you there for either the 2nd to last or last mission. If you have a rogue on your team with no mission teleport power and the final mission is in Echo of DA, they're simply SOL. I'm sure they plan to fix that.

They did? I didn't know that!

In the interest of fairness, I only did this because you pointed it out in-game. ^_^


Drink!

To be fair, you were never able to store 2500 pieces of invention salvage in those storage bins. In the old days you could store 2500 pieces of base salvage, which was only useful for crafting base items like teleporters. The Devs didn't really care much if base salvage was hoarded, but when they made base salvage obsolete, they changed the bins to hold invention salvage -- but also changed the capacity to 30, since they really would rather people use the market than hoard invention salvage.

Specifically, the "Go. Hunt. Kill Skuls." comes from 2 different "stupid team mate' stories (in the same thread I think) way back in the first year CoH came out. So technically "Kill Skuls" was the operative phrase for one of the two stories, so there shouldn't be a problem quoting just those two words.

As for sharing goodies across two accounts... it's called a private SG base. I have one even though most of my highly-played characters are in Hero Force, which is certainly not my own private SG. (But the Villain Force VG division that I'm in charge of practically is. ).

I move IOs in and out of my private SG base all the time. Last night in fact: I decided it was time to work up a build for my level 32 dark control/fire dom. After I did so, I dug through my base to come up with a Performance Shifter proc and Endurance IO, a Miracle and Numi unique, a five piece set of Devastation, two 4 piece sets of Basilisk's Gaze, and five pieces of Stupefy, and a couple of Luck of the Gambler 7.5% recharge and defense IOs. I think that was it, heh. ^_^ There were other things I'll have to buy, but having a base full of IOs allows me to not only share between two accounts but also IO a character quickly when I want to. I mostly use IOs in the 30-33 range, so I have to plan ahead to make sure I have the kind of IOs that I'm likely to want -- I place lowball bids for things like level 29 Basilisk's Gaze and level 31 or 32 Luck of the Gambler Defense, for example, and then I use a-merits to buy the numi, miracle uniques and LotG 7.5% recharge IOs.

But it's easy to drop stuff off from one account and then pick them up with the other account.

So!

And now that Beast Mastery is out... I' m curious what's up with Takes Care of Pets? If rerolling the character would be unthinkable, then perhaps there's a younger sister or something? Takes Care of Pets II?
