By making the full transition from Hero>Vigilante>Villain, your former Hero can transport items from inf between sides, like a gun runner.
You may be able to mail items/inf in the future.
Enhancement prices will be standardized across all vendors.

A couple more tidbits from the Hero-Con thread for all of us to jump to conclusions over..
Quote:Originally Posted by Schismatrix
Actually, what i've gotten from this thread and the info reported from Hero Con is that Rogue is the mid-point for villains in the process of becoming heroes. One of the Devs states that it's a transition and when you complete the journey you are an actual hero. Vigilante is the mid-stage for a hero in the procees of becoming a villain. During the middle stages you can travel to the other (soon to be a member of) faction's zones and join teams there, but you still use your original faction's market system until you complete the switch.Quote:Originally Posted by Photonstorm
That's how I understand it: Rogues and Vigilantes are the neutral moralities, the so called "grey area" they mentionned. Why 2 names? Probably to know if that neutral character was a Hero or Villain before, to know where he can sell/buy (Black Market or Wentworth).
If those characters continue on the same path, they will eventually completely shift to the other side. So a Villain can become Rogue by doing good deeds, and become a hero if he continues. A Hero will become Vigilante, and then a Villain. My guess is its up to the player if they want to stay neutral or shift completely, or back track. This can be done any number of times, but it wont be done easily.
Praetorian only seems to be a starting phase. By level 20 you have to choose if you go villain or hero, and then you play like any other normal heroes or villains. A Praetorian Hero will go Vigilante by doing bad deeds, and become a Villain if he continues, etc... -

Hi everybody,
very interesting and valuable info from all posts, but a mystery as to why that mistress of the numbers, Arcanaville, seems not to be about these days. With her unparallelled knowledge and thoughtful responses we sure got the real deal on topics such as this thread is about.
Gone but not forgotten and surely missed

Quote:This is my biggest concern at this point too.. As shortsighted (and stupid, frankly) as it is to not just go ahead and merge the markets, if they don't allow trading between Heroes/Rogues & Villains/Vigilantes that are on the same damn side, that would eclipse stupid and go right into full retard.Originally Posted by Supernumiphone
That's the main question I have after looking all this over. Being unable to give inspirations or anything else to teammates sucks. We deal with this with shared content already. I have a hard time believing they'd implement that for side switchers as well, but I guess we'll have to wait to see.
It seems to me that the only way they could implement it would be to allow trading items but not inf. That would allow them to keep the wall up between the inf disparity between sides while still allowing trading. There would be people moving items between markets but the inf would stay segregated.
It seems ridiculous any way they might do it though. GR would be the ideal opportunity to merge the markets. That they've decided not to do it does not bode well for it ever happening.
And on a side note, since this one really bugs me as well, giving dual pistols what sounds like a copy of Rain of Arrows, is frakkin' lazy & completely off the reservation as far as verisimilitude and suspension of disbelief goes.
Quote:Dual Pistols
Targeted AoE (?): Character fires bullets in the air that somehow then rain down on his opponents. -
Probably the best route for you to go at this point, would be to play around with Mid's for a bit, come up with what you feel is a build that you like, and use the export function to post the build in the Controller section asking for feedback & advice.

Hi All,
I'm getting into the invention sets and am looking for what Sets are best for my level 50 Controller. -
LR by far. Radiation's primary purpose is debuffing, all else is secondary.

Quote:Which also means a player putting together a build specifically for exemplaring can do a few things that normally wouldn't make a lot of sense, like 6 slotting Build-Up or Hasten with recharge enhancements, or over-enhancing other powers in a similar fashion.Originally Posted by Chompie
A nice bonus- The Exemplar scaling-down calculation is calculated *before* Enhancement Diversification. If you have three Lv50 Accuracy IOs, it calculates out to you still having quite a lot of that accuracy bonus even when exemplaring.

FYI...Quote:http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=196483
Going Rogue System- Heroes become vigilantes
- Villains become rogues
- Vigilantes and rogues have access to the rogue isles and paragon city
- Vigilantes can only access wentworth's, and rogues can only access the black market
- Your morality is determined by praetorian morality arcs
- All rogues and vigilantes would eventually leave praetoria and go into the rogue isles/paragon (with access to both)

Yeah... Sam? Ever since around Issue 16's release, you've been ******** and complaining and whining a LOT more than you used to. So what's up? Just more free time, so more time to play the game, so more time to find things to complain about... or is something else going on here?

Here, lay down and tell me all about it.

Fleeting Whisper touched on this, but I'll expand on it a bit. There are powers that cannot be perma'd under any circumstances, simply because there is a hard cap on recharge of 400%. So, no matter how unlimited a player's budget, or how much outside recharge buffing they get, there is still a limit as to what can be accomplished. One example would be Instant Healing on a Regen scrapper, which has a 90 second duration and 650 second recharge. Doesn't matter how much recharge buffing that scrapper gets, she's never going to get perma Instant Healing.

Quote:Then you're doing it wrong. If I can find or form a team whenever I want on Protector, and see TF's forming at all times of the day, including several forming at the same exact time on occasion, then there is ZERO reason why you can't do the exact same thing on a busier server like Freedom or Virtue.Originally Posted by CrossFusion
Now if you've played recently I'm sure you've noticed it has become difficult and at certain times extremely difficult, to find/form teams.It's not too bad to find sewers or AE teams but TFs and arcs and especially my favorite, patrol teams are dead.
* Use the team search tools.
* Join an active SG.
* Use your server's global channels. (These can be found in your server section here on the forum)
* Form your own teams.
* Make friends in-game. Find other players that like doing what you do, and global friend them. -

You can put hasten on auto and bind your w key to "+forward$$powexecname practiced brawler".
That way, anytime you try to move forward, practiced brawler will try to fire. -

Quote:75% global recharge would leave you with almost an 11 second downtime on Hasten.Originally Posted by Seldom
Hasten can be permanent, but barely, with a 75% recharge buff from IO's or speed boosts/similar recharge buff powers, I believe.

Quote:No, you could just remember to click the power once it recharges, and before the duration runs out. I have to do this on my Shield/SS tank with Rage, since I have Active Defense set to auto.Originally Posted by momentary_grace
So, it requires the power being set on auto.. meaning only one power can be made perma?
Yes, my brain started nudging at this because of another current thread.

Quote:Perma-hasten can be achieved with about 100% global recharge.Originally Posted by Postagulous
I'm not sure which powers can be turned into perma. Hasten doesn't quite make it, if memory serves, but good enough.

Perma=permanent. In other words, always on. Generally a term applied to a click power, once the recharge time has been reduced to the same or less than the duration of the power.

Well we have done it with 2 blasters and 2 blasters and a Fire/kin. You can bring your forcefielder, or I can bring my emp and we can see just how well it works. We should be able to see pretty quickly just how much the defender is contribuiting to the effort.

Your "rep power" is dependent upon:

- Your current Reputation value.

Quote:If you actually do the math on this, and assume using level 15, 25, and 35 common IO's, you will find it is actually the opposite by a fairly large margin. If I remember correctly from when I last worked it out, it is something on the order of about 150K influence per slot saved by using those IO's rather than DO's & SO's while leveling to 50. That comes out to about 13 million influence wasted using DO's/SO's.Originally Posted by PuceNonagon
It's cheaper to get buy SOs at the market and stores and use drops than it is to make and create IOs.
