Finally bought points! I knew that eventually they'd put something worth buying on sale! I got all ten salvage inventory increases plus two recipe increases and I'm totally naked inside my underwear right now!

But I was wondering; what's the difference between purchasing several individual x10 salvage inventory items (there's 10 listed, like 1 of 10, 2 of 10, etc), and just buying one but increasing the quantity in the shopping cart? Is it the same thing? And for that matter, is 10 the maximum amount we can buy? Because I got all ten and it looks like the market will sell me more.

Personally, I think the set looks silly to begin with. When it first came out, I couldn't believe that this is what people had been clamoring for - ridiculously oversized weapons, half of which would look like crap even if they were of believable size? It was definitely an easy set for me to pass on.

Perhaps if it had some better looking models, it might not seem so crummy. Actual "weapons", as opposed to the board with knives sticking out of it or the jet-powered hammer (are you kidding me?), would certainly be an improvement.

They sure do make it easy to save points. Hopefully one day they'll put something on the market that I might want to buy. As it stands, most of the stuff they’ve been peddling, I wouldn’t use even if it were free.

Hi. Most of my characters wear tights (when I think "super heroes", I think tights), so I would love to see more options available.

I like the basic skin tight spandex look, and never use anything with "ribs" or textures or any of that junk. The problem is, when making a hero with just spandex, you've got to do something to make the relative plainness of the costume stand out as unique. Unfortunately, most of the patterns we have don't match up between tops and bottoms, unless you just use the same pattern for both - which isn't very creative (store-bought costumes are lame). I think it would be great if we had more patterns that were mix-n-matchable between tops and bottoms.

Also, heroes in tights (mine anyway) often have chest symbols. What sucks is that most of the symbols are so big that they lay directly over the patterns on our outfits (which looks bad). Currently, if we want to avoid this, we have to either forgo a pattern on our upper body, or are left to pick between one of the few patterns that don't mess up the symbol (I dunno how many characters I have that use the "fat stripe" pattern...). But you see similar stuff all the time. Some chick running around with her chest symbol half on her outfit, and half tattooed to her skin - looks ridiculous.

So I guess my main two suggestions would be…

1. More pattern combinations that match between tops and bottoms.
2. More patterns that don’t get in the way of chest symbols.

Also, I’d just like to say that I’ve been waiting for “super hero tights” to get some attention in the costume creator for a LONG time, so thanks for finally getting around to it!

Statesman dies? Crap. I guess instead of reading the forums, I should play the game.

I think a lot of people who play this game are way too uptight, and I wonder how many of them watch Family Guy on a regular basis while laughing their ***** off.

Hi again. I just wanted to update this topic for anyone who might have been curious. It would indeed appear that access to the third build is in fact retained, even after an account goes premium. Not exactly game breaking news, but there ya go. Anyhow, have a great Monday.

Sorry it took me so long to get back to this thread (subscription went premium for a bit), but I just wanted to say thanks for the replies!

Hi. I don't normally read the marketing forum, but I've got a question regarding the buying and selling of IOs behind the dumpster in back of Wentworths.

When selling stuff for more than the influence cap (off the market obviously), how do you know the other guy's not going to rip you off? For instance, I recently got a Gladiator's Armor +3% Def recipe for 2bil from the market, but now I've changed my mind and would rather have the cash. So if I was to list the IO here on the forums and some wretched son of a ***** offered me big money for it, how would the deal work? Does he just hand over the dough, hoping that I'm an honest bloke? Or do I give him the IO and pray he's not the thieving ******* that he probably is? Because since we're dealing with influence above the cap, there's going to have to be a little interval while he's switching toons or something, right? How does either of us know the other one isn't going to just log off?

Anyhow, thanks.

Hmmm, thanks guys, guess I'll just have to wait and see. No big deal either way really; just curious.

I never realized this, but I guess our third build is associated with Mendor Ramiel's arc and the Alpha slot. When I downgrade to Premium status, will I lose access to this build? I ask because I just got finished decking this particular build out last week, not wanting to waste a respec. Had I realized that it was some sort of "incarnate" build slot, I would have simply respec'd my second build.

Chewy Louie. But not TOO chewy...

Woo hoo! They closed the plant down today so I get to stay home and play CoH! I just hope the electricity stays on...

I think the points brought up by the OP are right on the money. I also think they need to introduce a [censored]-load of new power pools to diversify things.
