The ''losers'' make the real difference here. :P
Heartless is 50 now. Now I work on Lady Attitude 2.0, the earthbender. -
Honestly, I think PS got a little ahead of themselves with the merge talk. I20 was just out and they thought they could handle it all. Integration work is always hairy. I knew they wouldn't make this deadline.
This is a big job. -
I'm so glad you asked....I just leveled my MM Merc, Heartless Attitude to 49 3/4 over the past weekend. I think she has the potential to be my biggest moneymaker. I did the Tina Mac Farms with a few tanks and we rolled. I did this over 4 days. I was rolling so hard, we started using each others Tina contacts to keep things rolling. Everyone was asking/telling me for spots on the team. The range with Mercs is just awesome. Tanks softened them up but mercs got the kills with rapid fire. I run ahead 179 feet and the mercs just appear next to me. And when they died, I just called in more. During combat, troops will be running in from the digital space or parachuting in. I fought back a boss who killed the whole team with JIT(Just in Time) Troops. I felt like I was at Mcdonald's...I was "Lov'in it."
I have group fly which is useful but it seems to have a -negative tohit or something. I need to look at this closer but on my second build I'm already planning for group stealth. I have no regrets with mercs because I'm at 49 and I have perfectly filled up/maximized all the slots/powersets I have. This was something I was unable to do on any of my other toons.
Plus with my Mercs, I can eat while I play and take breaks and they'll keep moving forward

Quote:I understand purchasing. It's the selling, "trying to maximize" the slots.Originally Posted by Adeon Hawkwood
If you're talking about purchasing you can can place a buy order for a stack of up to 10 enhancements but you can only sell them singly (the same is true for inspirations).
Salvage and recipes on the other hand can be both purchased and sold in stacks of 10.
To buy a stack of an item simply replace the 1 to the right of the purchase price with the number you want (up to 10). To sell a stack simply move them to the market interface and when it asks how many to move drag the slider to the right.
Now that I think about it again, it was temp recipes not IOs. That's why I couldn't recreate it. Thanks. -
My problems come from after the entering the door to the loading of the next one. It just takes forever(1-5 mins). Players have run down the map and cleared half the map before I come on.
-
Another question. I swear over the weekend, I was able to stack one bid with several of the same items(2 defense 50 IO). How exactly does that work? I did it by accident but couldn't recreate it. This would make life better.
Play time is very important to me and your right on with your comments above but that's why I bought the enhancement tables to just craft and pull them off of my trays. The crafting and salvage was killing my playtime. So I have a different session now dedicated to MM/BM. -
Very useful post.

Quote:What server are you guys on I'm on Freedom and I never had problem teaming one either side. I have noticed this in the few months. Many are no longer using the broadcast to build teams, just FYI.Originally Posted by shaggy5
When CoV first came out, I made two quick 50s so I could have the experience. Now most of my villains sit not finished, many in their 20s. It's NOT that I don't enjoy them, or that I don't enjoy CoV, but I like teaming and I can never really find a team redside. Part of me just thinks I should move them all over to blue and play there only. I doubt I would ever actually do that, but there are days.
I have no questions...just wanted to throw that out there.
Also, I find that many build characters on the weekends and play their 50s during the week. -
I'm adding a comment so I can see the updates here.

thank you, thank you, thank you.

Quote:This is a forum and I take nothing personal here and neither should you. I play this game in lumps hardcore( past weekend was thursday to monday noon nonstop), I gain too much of everything these extended weekends. If I played once a week, I probably wouldn't even be mentioning this. The little stuff does add up though. New or inexperienced people buy my bids and they pay way more for stuff than you can imagine. Your strategy is sound in theory but you assumptions are that everyone knows the game well and I'm finding through experience just the opposite.Originally Posted by Fulmens
My apologies; I did not know your level of experience and I aimed low.
I will say that if you HAVE to profit off everything, you WILL spend all your time at Wentworth's.
I use the metaphor of the penny tray: People take a penny, or leave a penny, because it's TOO SMALL TO WORRY ABOUT. If you're building an IO and the cost is 200,000 and the sale price is 300,000 (270K after went-fee) that's probably TOO SMALL TO WORRY ABOUT. Especially if it takes a week to sell.
If you want to be a billionaire, in minimal time, don't worry about the pennies- the half-million-inf crafted IO's, the 55K pieces of salvage, the generic IO's, etc- spend your time and your Wentworth's slots on the big stuff.
I really wish the would allow me unlimited bids or a very high number but I don't know if that will ever happen. -
Over the weekend, I played on Freedom and experienced Lag in these areas:
- Praetorian Labs Zone Maps on Tina McyIntyre in Peregrine Island
- Tin Mage and any late night BAF/LAM
I know why the lag on the BAF and LAM but why Praetorian Maps specifically? I experience this on my EU and NA accounts.
What can I do to minimize this? What is unique about the Praetorian Labs Maps? -
I used it this weekend and regularly. Are you doing this:
1. @globalid
2. add inf/enhancements
3. add notes /comments. The field won't send without this filled in. -
I send stuff to myself all the time and over this past weekend.
Are you doing this when you create a new email:
1. @globalid
2. put the inf/enhancements on the email
3. Add comments in the notes field. The mail won't send if isn't filled in.
4. what server are you on? -
Quote:Here's was my practice in the past your but your comments make me stop and pause. I would collect these and craft them during the game. I would lose 25-30% of my time/gameplay hunting/going back and forth for the salvage and crafting. The more I would play the game the more I started to hate the crafting because I play the game in lumps I never had enough WW/BM slots to sell what I earning over a gaming week/weekend so I started buying enhancement tables to hold them and sell them at more opportune times when I could focus just on the "transactions" Doing it this way I was able to reach the 2,000,000,000 limit quickly on several of my toons but doing what you say now and selling them back to the vendors I just wonder how I will get money as fast. If the vendors are like generic enhancements I'll probably never get anywhere near what their worth. I'm not trying to just "giveback" stuff to the system if I can help it. I have to profit off of everything.Originally Posted by Fulmens
Storage vs. sell and rebuy:
"The market is a mechanism for transferring money from the active to the patient."- Warren Buffet
One of the common ways to make inf is to buy a recipe [something people use frequently] and craft it and resell it. If you leave a somewhat low bid in for a couple days, it will probably fill; but even if you pay the going rate for the recipe, the crafted item usually sells for a lot more. (Level 40 Serendipity recipes, I think you can buy 'em for under half a million, craft, and resell for five or ten million. And those aren't a big seller.)
Why do I mention this? Because if you craft something and sell it, then buy the recipe later if you need it again, you make exactly the same money.
Storage, workaround: Each of your characters can hold ten to twenty recipes, right? If you decide to hang onto them, just spread 'em around evenly.
What not to store: As mentioned, there is zero reason to hold onto the generics [white] recipes. Literally no reason. They sell them at crafting tables. You can buy them cheaper than sale price at Wentworth's. And in most cases you can buy the CRAFTED item for cheaper than crafting price, with patience. For yellow and orange recipes, most of them are really unpopular, so there are fifty for sale and no bidders and the last 5 listed are, like, ten thousand inf or less. Check your recipes, and if they look like that, it's a pretty safe bet that if you want one of those later, you can pick it up for pennies. A few of them are worth a lot of inf. This will be obvious by the "0 for sale" and price in the millions. Those ones are worth keeping, if you like holding onto stuff.
For example, to craft even a generic I always computed the salvage cost so I was able to get at least 1 million or more each. My question in regards to your comments is how am I still going to be able to reach my goals of maxing inf for each character doing it your way? -
Quote:Very useful information. Over the past few weeks, I've been getting these "sneak" SG invites out of the blue for my non SG praetorian characters now I know why...Originally Posted by Ironblade
There is no "accumulated Prestige". The system does not track it when you are not in an SG.
When a NON-Praetorian joins an SG, *IF* the SG has 14 members or less, there is a 'signing bonus' of 20,000 prestige. This is to help new SG's get started.
When a PRAETORIAN character joins an SG, there is a bonus of 100,000 prestige to compensate for the fact they could not join before level 20. It does not matter how many characters are in the SG. This bonus goes to the FIRST SG they join. If they then quit to go to another SG, that 100,000 does not follow them. -
Quote:Some are sets and some are generic. I was only concerned with the set IO recipes.Originally Posted by StarGeek
Are they set recipes or generic IO recipes? If they're generics, sell them to a vendor. When you need that type again, you can buy them on the market for less than what you sold them to the vendor for, though that may take a bit of patience and planning and require you to bid a day or two before you want to use them.
As an example, lvl 50 generic damage recipes sell to the vendor for 116,100 infl. The last 5 sales on the market are 70k*1 and 75k*4. -
Quote:That's too bad. I'd like to find a way to preserve my cash in the future now that I have plenty of IOs for all of my characters. I was hoping to just store recipes and not craft them. I crafted so many this weekend I blew through the inf.Originally Posted by Organica
There's no way to store recipes except on characters or in the market interface. Bin storage in a SG is for crafted IOs.
-
Two questions I have:
1. I have several characters who I have not converted to an SG. I know if I create an SG myself I'll get all the accumulated Prestige. Will it all go to someone else's SG if I join someone else's or will they just get the Praetoria 20K or is it 20K plus whatever I have?
2. This weekend, I reran the Tina McIntrye and Maria Jenkins mishes/farms over and over again. I spent 250,000,000 crafting recipes and sent them to all of my characters for their multiple builds but I still have recipes left over. I had this problem with IOs a few months ago but I was able to buy enhancement tables to store the crafted enhancements. But my question now is where can I store excess recipes? I can't store these in the enhancements or salvage racks can I? This will let me preserve my cash because I won't have to convert everything to enhancements. Salvage storage(15,000 and no recurring costs) is way cheaper than enhancement storage(95,000 plus monthly maintenance). -
Don't pay don't pay any attention to these losers. I'm coming online now and I'll be on all weekend. Anyone with Attitude at the end is me. I'll get you higher. Tell me your times and I"ll add you to my team.
Diva Attitude
Heartless Attitude
Lady Attitude
Lady Attitude 2.0 -
I can run 1 but not both. Diva Attitude

ICE has some nice features. I saw your posted build. You grabbed the wrong powers.
Change these:
Powerboost
kick/tough/weave
chilling embrace
hibernate - good for only 30 secs
Shiver
Artic Air -
During play last night, I experienced these things:
Before the patch, I thought I saw the ability for converting threads to Shards.
Next, while I was doing the BSF on the Villain side I was unable to change/reslot my slots for the new slots. Specifically, I had problems with Judgement. I changed this before the game and waited past the cooldown before trying to change it but was unsuccessful. During the final fight with the reischman I tried to change from ionic to pyronic to void to cryonic but was unsuccessful
Finally, thanks for putting the shard salvage requirements back in the alpha slots. When I opened my new slots with i20s release I noticed the change to the thread salvage and thought this was part of the game. -
Quote:This is too much for me. I'll use my EU account and visit the devs there on Union. Its' too late for me to try to install the test installations now.Originally Posted by Aggelakis
There are (currently) five "game versions":
CoH NA
+ CoH NA Test
+ CoH Going Rogue
CoH EU
+ CoH EU Test
These are all separate installations, unless you want to jump through patching hoops each time you want to use a different installation. (In theory, you can use a single installation for all five; but you must use different shortcuts, and you will almost guaranteed need a patch-and-repair process each time you use that single installation for a different server-farm.) -
Do I have to install another copy of the game, I already have a COH NA and COH EU?
