try break free's and purples. break free's are used to negate the fear effect.
oh, what is your team make up? how many scrappers and blasters? -
you can pretty much get anything in bronze rolls. there is just alot more to go through. iv'e had regenerative tissue: +reg drop in bronze rolls. and with bronze roll's you are guaranteed to make money where silver and gold, it's a big chance.

hehe, remember comm officers? ticket cap in 5 mins. nothing like watching 2 fire/psy doms tanking and obliterating an entire drek map in 3 mins.

Quote:you misunderstood what goat said. he means he hit the ticket cap for the mission. then he random rolls bronze rolls, sells and makes profit. that is very easy.Originally Posted by Biospark
This doesnt sound like "normal" gameplay. Nor does it sound like something most players are capable of doing, but I will take for granted your voracity and see whether I can come close to the numbers you have indicated.
Ticket-capping in 30 mins is not something I have ever seen done. I would be hard pressed to do so in 3 hours, but gonna take one of my better farmers out for a spin soon. -
why? xp is easy to get. there is absolutely no reason for something like this.

Quote:vehicles will not work correctly with this game. watch how the cars and trucks travel and you will get an idea of what i mean. if not, someone will post a very informative post of why they won't.
3. Motorcycle Powerset. I mean, along the lines of natural heroes, there aren't many options for your third powerset that you can take logically. A motorcycle powerset would allow a travel set for natural heroes and it would just be cool. For attacks you can have things like grenade launchers or miniguns hidden on the thing. o.o It would be AWESOME!
not sure if this would work, but i can only see something like this in arena matches where the damage wouldn't last and leave the zone in rubble as only the people in the match would see it.Quote:4. Destructible PvP Enviroments. Imagine an area for PvP where you can pick up a car and chuck it at your enemies, or damage a building and eventually cause it's collapse. A 100% Mayhem Devoted PvP area. I mean, in comics books, when heroes battle villains they should be able to fully interact with the environment around them. How many of us can forget the scene in Spiderman 2, when Dr. Octopus tossed a freaking care through a window of a coffee shop to get at Peter Parker or, in Spiderman 1, when Green Goblin destroyed that balcony during the parade with his pumpkin bombs? Maybe the goal for the villains in the area is to destroy the city, while the goal of the heroes in the area is to protect it? *shrug* I just think it would be REALLY cool to see. -
there is this one that flies:

and this one:

so we have at least 2 flying GM's villian side.
hope this helps. -
Quote:why should they get rid of rent or cut it in half? it is already about the same as doing one missions worth of prestige. it is not what it used to be before it was changed.
They should get rid of rent all together until they come up with a base raid idea.. I could see the issue of why you might want rent with raids and such. But now I say either get rid of it or cut it in half. -
Quote:who cares? this has become all about you and your play style. get over yourself and your silly little entitlement whine. if you do mission arcs in AE you will have more then 5k tickets in just a few hours of play or a few days, depending on your play style. of course you could always roll bronze and silver and sell what you don't need and be able to afford what you do need. i know, that takes some common sense, so use it.Originally Posted by plainguy
Have you ever used the gold random ticket roll on a consistent basis ?
-
also, go visit the markets. you can make a lot of infl/inf by selling your stuff there that you get from drops or AE tickets. and don't forget about running some AE missions to get some tickets to get stuff there to.
welcome to the game and forums. -
Quote:and this will not work when anyone can go to the market and PLACE A BID and wait to get what they want for cheaper then a vendor. please do not suggest changes to things you do not understand.Originally Posted by Cayenne
The answer to that still seems to be to make very, very expensive vendors for things that people want anyhow. Make a salvage vendor that sells salvage for 1000x the normal cost: 250,000 for common, 1,000,000 for uncommon, 5,000,000 for rare. Make a recipe vendor that sells recipes for 10,000x the normal cost: 100,000,000 for a rare recipe at level 50, 50,000,000 for an uncommon one. Allow people to buy respecs in-game with enough inf. Make some powerful but temporary buffs that are expensive. Let people buy titles. Let people trigger special events by spending enough, perhaps on a timer.
The important thing about vendors is that the inf is removed from the game, unlike the market. Give players a compelling enough reason, and they'll spend inf that way. -
Quote:my forum join date may be in '08, but i joined the game in '07. don't rely on forum join date to tell you when someone joined the game.
Where as you have only been here since 08..
i'm not upset because i am not using EXPLOITS. there is a big difference between farming and exploiting. an example of some exploits were the winter lord babies, rikti comm officers and hamidon jello's. those were exploits. farming the regular missions is not an exploit. if it was the devs would put a timer on everything.Quote:Don't get upset because I am trying to interfere with your exploits.. Though I have not seen a dev post farming was Okay.. Further I think the whole point of farming is to gain a reward greater then the risk.. Otherwise who would farm a mission when they can just move on to the next mission..
well, let's see, they are merging the markets which should make it easier for everyone. i do not see a need to change tickets. they are working just fine.Quote:Simply put this game is nothing near to what it was when it came out population wise.. The market system is based on Player interaction. If there are less players, then the value of IOs rise.. So a newer player is pretty much behind the 8 ball from the start unless he gets a bit lucky with some IO drops that he does not need in his or her build. -
Quote:actually, i got into sets after the first one dropped on me. that lead me to the market which after some research, netted me quite a nice profit.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
There is a HUGE logical step between players experimenting with Inventions and players experimenting with SET Inventions. People who make the step from SOs to Inventions step into Commons first, and it's not safe to assume they will step into Sets next.

Quote:do not question the power of the squirrel....Originally Posted by Live_Wyre
Ok, so I looked over that link for literally 2 secs, until I got to "Squirrel-like abilities" as a power... Besides agile, what other abilities do they have. Like, spiders and ants are super strong and so are heroes with those abilities. But squirrel-like?

that is perfectly relevant to this thread. in your last post before BBQ, you mention the same exact things that are in the thread i linked. and honestly, thinking that the enhancements turn people away from the game is... stupid.
all it takes is asking questions in game or comming to the forums. there has to be some sort of challenges to keep people interested. that is what retains customers. not making everything easy.
edit: by the way, i'm not syaing you are stupid. just that thinking the idea that enhancements are what makes people leave is stupid. and actually, i never insulted your intelligence. just pointed out to search first and learn how to utilize it if you didn't know. then i simply stated that some/all of what you said was covered in that thread.
edit x2: oh, and by the way, enhancemnets can be gotten in the AE for tickets. so where does the money problems come in again? -
cayenne learn to use the search feature. this was already covered to make enhancements easier.

that happens from time to time. nothing to worry about. it always comes back.

Quote:we don't have "private" servers. in fact i don't think i have ever heard of any games that do that. if you can't pay for a month, then you can't pay. your account only goes inactive. it doesn't get deleted. look at your spending habbits and see what needs to be changed if it is that hard for you to have $15/month. you obviously had enough money to buy the game so you should have no problem with the monthly fee. buy store brand stuff instead of name brand, it's just as good. don't go out to bars as often. know that $20 dollar dvd you want, wait for it to go down in price. there are all sorts of things you can do to insure you have the $15/month.Originally Posted by The Lone Hero
To Forbin and Soul: I barely have $10 left over from spending on what I NEED to live. I can't sell plasma because they can't get a needle near me without me becoming 'a risk' as my doctors say. I totally freak out over needles to the point where they can't safely stick me with one. I need the internet for my schooling, I pay half of the TV bill, it's split between me and my Grandma. Hell, without my grandma I'd be royally screwed over because then I'd be living on the streets. My job doesn't pay much, I just get enough to pay for what I need.
As I said, I'm not saying everyone can't afford to pay the fee but I'm not saying everyone can either. Believe it or not, some people have situations where they can't pay game subscription fees. Thats why things like 'Private' Servers exists for some game. If there was a free to play superhero game, I'd be playing that.
Champions Online uses the neverending free trial bit, but I can't play that because it kills my out of date computer. So City of Heroes is my only option.
To Neon: I don't feel right 'trial hopping' and I believe 'trial hoppers' wouldn't be liked very much by the rest of the City of Heroes community.

did we really need yet another thread about this?

psst... hyper.... look above your post at my post... i think you were reading my mind or something.

Quote:you do realize that all you have to do is use the AUCTION HOUSES like they were meant to be used right? place a bid and wait. or you can go to the AE and do a mission or 2 and use your TICKETS to get the salvage you want. or you can even e-mail yourself the salvage you need from a different toon.Originally Posted by CyberWoLfman
Just a suggestion, but, what would really be nice, would be a Global Invention Salvage for each paid account of 1,000 capacity. This would allow us more free time to play the game instead of changing characters to try to find the piece of over-priced Invention Salvage we need for our Recipes, and might act as a way to keep some of those prices down.
