    Shadow, please let Alvin and the Guardian forumites know that my mother passed away.

    I'm going to have to take a trip to South Carolina to take care of things. I think it's going to end up being a combined effort of my aunt and myself. I have no idea when we'll be leaving, but I'll try to give a heads up before I go.
    You have my deepest empathy and condolences brother.
    I am very sorry for your loss.

    Be safe in your trip and we'll see you soon.

Has anyone responded with the equivalent of "Oh, I didn't really think this through and now that I know how the market operates, I see my rage was misplaced"?
    I have. I raged about the Ebils of teh Market and how there was this giant conspiracy of the uber-rich to manipulate the markets and keep us poor players down. I also raged about how a [now over 63 month] veteran should have had an easier time and have had the priviledge to have some of the new gear. I even worked up an unhealthy lather over not being in the Closed Beta and therefore not having all of the insider info that gave a lot of people the heads up to know what was going on and get insanely rich off of the first few months of the markets.

    Then one day, knowing that something had to change, I started actually reading the Market Forum and Guides. At first, I wanted to prove that the conspiracy existed and how to manipulate the market to prove it. After several months of struggling against all of the evidence in front of me, I concluded that I was the problem and I changed.

    I was wrong. I still don't have the kind of grasp of the mechanics that some people have, but I have been able to combine several aspects of "playing the game" through TFs, Farming, finding an IO or two that I could buy the recipe cheaply, craft and sell the IO for a profit, and even trying to save up Reward Merits and the new A/V-Merits.

    Blue Centurion, I can honestly say I know how you feel. I know that right now, you see a conspiracy and a hidden cabal of secretive marketeers who are trying to sacrifice you to the Ebil God of Inf. Relax. No one here is manipulating anything other than their post count.

    The Market is a wickedly beautiful mistress and you just need to learn how to negotiate what you want from her. In time, she'll warm up to you more and more.

    I have made enough Inf to purple out my namesake, build a scrapper I like with an Uber Expensive Build, and have stockpiled enough gear in my SG Bases to outfit an army with good stuff here and there. You can too.

    Good Luck!
  3. I made 2 Billion Inf and had a Glad Armor Proc drop in the time it took to read these threads.

    Thanks for the entertainment while I corner your markets.

    I have made many friends here and there are more people to meet everyday. I look forward to when people drop me a PM here and there and cherish all of you as people in my life. The game has many things I haven't yet begun to do and there's so much I still want to try. Couple that with updates and new stuff and I really don't ever want to leave.

    Super Groups

    A little more info:
    • Your Rank must have the permissions set to allow Promote or Demote in the Settings section.
    • Both characters must be online at the same time.
    • Open up your Super Group window and click on to highlight the name of the character you are promoting.
    • Click the "Promote" button or "Demote" button for each rank level you wish to promote or demote. Be careful when clicking as it will sometimes skip.
    Note that you can only promote as high as your rank. If you are the Super Leader, you will have a pop-up asking you of you would like to promote another to your rank. This will give ownership to that person if you say yes.
  8. Search for "Hostess Fruit Pies"

    Shhhh!!
  9. That is teh Issue 19 Pre-Patch. It holds a bunch of artwork and code that is being loaded now so when it goes live, you won't have to get it then on top of the issue release. This happens pretty much every issue and is normal. Nothing to worry about.

    New Timezone

    Then perhaps I can be of some assistance.

    Wolf Standard Time (WST) bears no restrictions or modifications from things such as Daylight Saving Time, Temporal Rifts, or even Paradoxes and crossings of streams.

    Wolf Standard Time simple is. Where ever you go and whatever you do, you're right on schedule no matter who tries to convince you otherwise.
