    I'm both a marketeer and base builder, but I've never used the Inf>Prestige conversion. 500:1 is simply too bloated for the return you get in my opinion, even when I'm making 50-100mil per day. These days, with the AE, I can make 200k prestige (or more) in short order, so the idea of using the conversion doesn't even need to be considered.

    Just my two bits...

    Heh, thanks CaptA. I can never remember the name of that, even though I've used it in the past for the very same reason as the OP.

    I provide disappointment as just one of many services.

    Care to share what it says or must I sit here and tremble with anticipation until I can rush breathlessly home to savor your words?

    Hami Raid is Wednesdays @ 630pm EDT/930pm PDT
    Rikti Raids are Saturday @ 12am EDT/9pm PDT and Sunday @ 9pm EDT/6pm PDT

    I haven't seen any regularly scheduled TF's in a while, but Timed Savior (sorry, International Lover now, hehe) runs various TF's all the time. Some are scheduled ahead of time either via the forums or with announcements in Level 50, Guardian and Guardian TF.

    Hope that helps a little

    You can float a Slow Field above a blue floor (can't recall the pattern name but it looks like gravel), giving the effect of water. The Slow Field is a crafted base item, off the second tier crafting table as I recall.

    Gah can they unfix this please? I now how to reconsider how I'm going to do a large portion of our base.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Rather than "unfix" it, they should just give us blank versions of the glass pieces. But chances of that are as likely as Michael Jackson becoming black again...
  8. I know how you feel Doc, lol. I may not slot for PvP, but I don't slot cheap. I'm down to about 200mil redside and 150mil blueside, and I still need two sets of Armageddon for the Hamster...

    Edit for clarification: Not that I had any trouble helping you out Zyxith. Just means it'll take a day or so longer to get the last piece, lol
  9. What I've got in my SG at the moment:

    6 Salvage bins. 4 of them are various uncommon salvage, the other 2 are rare salvage and Halloween pieces.

    4 Enhancement bins. 3 personal bins for members (so far) and 1 bin open to anyone (mostly common IO's and SO's).

    3 Inspiration bins. 1 for medium, 1 for large and 1 for other inspirations (Ambrosia, EoE, Presents)

    1 Vault storage.


    My VG setup is currently the same, minus one personal IO bin. Lots of room for stuff, and still room for more as needed

    Since when is Canada in Europe eh?

    Have a great trip Japes. Make sure you bring your jar. Not sure if they carry your size most places. And cookies. Lots of cookies. Especially when you're in Holland
  11. <QR>

    Welcome to Guardian (and CoH). Have some welcome cookies, I borrowed them from Ulli's cookie jar, hehe. *offers cookies*

    I can't always say I'll be on the same times as you, as I'm quite irregular as well at times, but feel free to give me a holler if you see I'm on. My global and most used toons are in my sig below. And don't worry about a twisted sense of humor. A large portion of my global list is populated by people with weird or otherwise disturbing senses of humor, so it'd be nothing new to me, lol. You'd fit right in with them quite well I'd think.

    And again, welcome to the game. Hope you enjoy it as much as the rest of us do!

    I've got Infamy to spare on my brute, if you haven't arranged something yet. And I can always use some more Influence, to help finish slotting my scrapper, heh.

    Whoa..... how did you get those landing to stick out of the wall like that... that is sweet!

    [/ QUOTE ]

    The designer more than likely used either floor safes or accent lamps, combined with floor tiles to build them. Using the safes or lamps, you can raise the floor tiles off the actual floor, and then build a new floor on top, in this case using desks for the raised landings.

    How could they remove the chicken tug??? This completely screws up all of my fantastic RP arcs! Why do the devs hate RP??? I pay $15/month, I should be able to play the way I want! If this change is permanent, I may have to cancel my account! We'll see how long CoX lasts THEN!

    [/ QUOTE ]

    It is truly a sad, sad day when a player can't tug his chicken in the privacy of his own home.

    Now there's some disturbing imagery...

    Yes I was just using villains as an example. I still think villainside will become even more empty. Even if it's not as bad as I think it will be, I still really hope this is a temporary side switch or a zone only kind of thing, rather than combining so much of what was so unique.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Fair enough. I can agree with you on that score at least, heh. Either way, it is a little early to worry too much about it, at least until we get some more details. Maybe a redname will drop into the thread and give us a few more tidbits? Not likely, but one can hope!
  17. [ QUOTE ]
    If people can switch sides...and we see Masterminds and brutes running atlas park...It will be bad.

    1.) Every server with low villain population will lose even more because people will move to heroside because of the bigger population, making villainside even more deselate.

    2.) Markets?

    3.) Badges?

    4.) Some archtypes should not be in the same world. Tankers vs brute? Tankers would become nigh useless vs a good brute.

    What about SG's? How about PVP?

    Villains who are level 50 switch to heroside and have no idea what they are doing? That doesn't sound good.

    I really hope this "side switching" is a zone only thing or a temporary thing...Cause I'd really hate to take away the diversity in this game. Plus, the only reason some people play villains is because of the cooler AT's.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Keep in mind that by the same token, we would probably see many Heroes being crossed over to Villains. Perhaps not in the same numbers, but it will happen.


    EDIT: As for Tankers vs Brutes, I'd put my money on my Brute in that kind of fight almost any day, lol. In fact, I have done exactly that!

    Is this a paid expansion? How much do these usually cost?

    (I hope it's free... )

    [/ QUOTE ]

    It will almost definitely be a payed expansion (a la CoV). I can't recall at the moment how much CoV cost at launch, but I believe it was on the order of $30-40. I can see this costing about as much, but I'll keep my fingers crossed that it will be less. Not that that matters much, as I'd shell out the extra bucks anyways for a CE version, lol.

    Am I going crazy or did I really see in the FAQs that it is going to be an open beta?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    No, you're not going crazy. Well, maybe you are, but you've just joined the club along with the rest of us...
  20. [ QUOTE ]
    So this FAQ is essentially.

    "We have heard all your questions, we have no real answers for you at this time."

    That's kind of funny, honestly.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    It's pretty much what I expected, at least at this point. I'm willing to bet there'll be more info come Hero Con time, even if only a little bit more, heh.

    Oh, and count me in for beta

    OK, I am NOT advocating farming. I've tried it more than a few times so I'm no purist, but I'm not good at farming, find it mindlessly repetitious, and especially hate door sitting.

    BUT ... that said ...

    IF you were to create an arc that was your personal farm ... made it sound like trash (but not a farm) in the discription ... like "The minions of Hellions and the Skulls are fighting for turf in Perez Park again, but with no leaders around to direct them, they are just hurting themselves ... and the trees. The park commissioner wants you to kick them out in this defeat all mission. Length: Very Long"

    And then you create a mission with whatever you want ... how can anyone tell. I've been advertising the hell out of my arc and can't get 100 players to try it, let alone 5 star it.

    Can't u farm something on your own? This would help me out too because it interrupts me when I get all the "AE Farm?" tells in game. Kind of a "No Ask. No Tell. No Advertsed ... Farm."

    Or maybe you could start a Fight Club global channel just for farmers, where you people who farm in PI could invite the people their alreasy farming with into the chat room?

    Any mileage in this idea for farmers?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Making my own little farm is exactly what I did. I made it exclusively to earn prestige for my SG and VG, and of course to make a little Inf on the side. I've been publishing it only when I want to run it, and as a result its rarely been run by anyone else. I haven't used it to PL anyone, though I have taken a few SG/VG members with to help with the prestige earning. The whole to-do about MA farming though has me a little concerned about my little farm. I'm hoping that I'm not adversely affected by any of this little [censored]storm going around now, because I've made more advances in prestige in the last two weeks than in the two months prior.

    Just my two bits...

    I dont have his global name so I can't messege him that way.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Find his name in your VG list, click it and from the pull-down, choose "Add Note". At the top of the window that pops up it will show his global name.

    That aside, if you still can't get a hold of him or he's flat out refusing to re-promote you, you can try going through CS, but no promises that they can do anything in this case.

    Just found this thread for the first time, and haven't read it all yet, so sorry if this was already brought up.

    It goes something like this:
    Incoming tell of "want to join a <fill in name of TF/mission here> team?".
    You reply with "Sure, send me an invite" a few seconds later.
    You then get this: "Team is full".

    If you know, or are pretty sure that your team will be full momentarily, don't keep sending out invites/tells. Get it sorted out first, THEN send out some more invites/tells. I've been getting this a fair bit lately, and it drives me up the wall, especially when its for a team doing something that I would like to do, or still need to do on a specific character.
    ------------------------------------------------

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I am guilty of this far to often, only cuse i wait bout 2-3 mins then start sending out tells again and if the first person i sent a tell to doesnt respond within the first 2-3 mins I will continue to shoot out tells to the next 3 people until i fill the team. But if that first person sends a tell 4 mins later and thiers 5 other people that havent responded yet, Its first come first serve and ill reply once the team is full "Srry full up mabey a spot will open in a bit" If that bugs you turn on /hide and possibly try finding a team via broadcast.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    At least you wait a few minutes. My issue is when they don't wait more than a few seconds. I mean, why send a tell at all if you're not going to wait for a reply before filling a spot/team? And it doesn't bother me to the point of wanting to /hide, it would just be nice of those who do this to give me (and others of course) the benefit of a period of time to reply and/or ask a question or two. Waiting 5 seconds isn't enough time by far. 2-3 minutes as you do, is more than enough, and I'd understand that fully. I use about the same amount of time when recruiting for a team to be honest. But at least I wait a couple of minutes, not a couple of seconds.

    And for the record, I've never once used broadcast to find a team. I pride myself on being a decent teammate and as such, I usually have people coming to me to join their team, rather than the other way around.
