Salvage price is fine. Its recipes that need work. And if one Lotg is on the market. Which right now theres more. But back when you would only see a couple at best. And there like 100mill. Then that is a monopoly on market.B/c they can set to what ever price they want

[/ QUOTE ]

Did you ever think that something that permanently increases your Recharge by 7.4% might be WORTH 100mil?

And guess what? Your wish has been answered! Dring I12, or 13, they introduced something called 'Merits'. You see, you PLAY THE GAME, and do special missions for merits, you save them up, and you can buy anything you want! Any recipe aside from the PVP recipes and Purples.

But that's just silly, huh?

A speed cap just sounds like a pain, if you ask me.

Don't get me wrong, the idea has merit, but there are some people who only want Speed Boost at certain times, like during outdoor maps, and don't want it while indoors. These people will be needing to go back and forth, changing their settings time and time again... Which almost seems like an exploit, doesn't it? Adjusting how much of a buff you want when, and all that? I know it's certainly not, it just has that kind of vibe.

I stand by just wanting an option to disable buffs with a click.

Oxytocin is a hormone.

In that light I suppose it's a really good thing that I didn't know: I don't use 'em so I lack the knowledge!

[ QUOTE ]

So wait you can't do it yourself? I don't need a Hvy. But if you want to bring a friend fine. I will try and take you both on. Worst comes to worst. I invite my friend. But that might a bit of a overkill though. So if i can get him to join me. You might want to bring your SG. 2 just aint enough rep

[/ QUOTE ]

You just whined about not being able to take on three people because they controlled a Heavy.

I'm offering you an identical situation, but without the Heavy's involvement.

Theres a Diff of working for it. And price gouging. And the Markets right now are price gouging.

[/ QUOTE ]

And ya' know what? You're more than welcome to join in. Get some of your own salvage, wait until it's low in price, and then buy it up, and sell it when the price is high.

But that would be too easy, wouldn't it?

[/ QUOTE ]

And that is why markets are out of control.There needs to be somewhere that u can get it at set price. B/c you can't being in competitive market. So people that run that market pretty much have no competition. And have a Monopoly on that market items

[/ QUOTE ]

Run the market? Oh your God, you must think that the government was behind 9/11, as well. There's no one that 'runs' the market. Occasionally someone can have most, or almost all of one particular piece of salvage, but it doesn't last long at all. It can't, because it's a BLIND MARKET. You don't know who you're paying, who you're receiving from, or how much they're asking for.

You want to find the items at a set price? Go fight for them. Fight enemies, and you'll get the items sooner or later.

But what's that? You say you're looking for the Rare salvage? Maybe it's priced so high because it's RARE.

It's impossible to create an abuse-free system. You'll still have groups of people that can rally behind a single person telling them all to rate an arc up or down.

Still, the arc's rating system DOES warrant a major change in design, and aesthetics. I'd like to think of this entire Star system as something of a 'Live Beta'. They're still seeing what's working, and what isn't.

Which is why she said:

"Your RESISTANCE shortens the duration!"

So when you have a high resistance to Holds (through Mezz Protection), "Your RESISTANCE shortens the duration!"

This way, that ~11 second hold is reduced, because "Your RESISTANCE shortens the duration!"

So if you have a 65% resistance to Holds, and are hit by an 11 second hold, "Your RESISTANCE shortens the duration!" to 3.85 seconds.

This is because "Your RESISTANCE shortens the duration!"

[/ QUOTE ]

I use a Willpower and its one of the highest res's to mez you can get. And that Hold is still way to long. It needs to drop to at least 7 sec hold

[/ QUOTE ] You would think that after playing so much you would know what you're doing.

[/ QUOTE ]

Look numbers are a bunch of BS i care less about. Numbers mean nothing if you can't play the toon. And when a Hero won't leave from beside a HVY b/c they know it is OP. Then there is something wrong. And i know from playing the toon. That hold needs to be toned down.

[/ QUOTE ]

Translation: I can't beat everyone. The game should work for me.

Long story short? It shouldn't.

[/ QUOTE ]

I still win. But if they aint giving a hvy the same length hold. Then it sould be brung down to are hvys length. Are Hvy ain't holding someone that long and if it did heroes would have alrdy had it nerfed

[/ QUOTE ]

I got past 'I still win.' and then tried to decipher the rest of that garbage, but found better luck looking through hieroglyphics.

Either case, I don't think you do. Because you're whining so very much, like a kid who just had his shiny, red ball taken from him.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hvy holds you. Then tank charges you. While blaster attcks you as well. and in 11secs depending on what you are your dead are one hit from it.

[/ QUOTE ]

So, you're saying that it's three-on-one, and that the HEAVY is the reason you die? Are you freakin' kidding me?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah i shouldn't die b/c i and held by a hvy. If they kill me thats fine. But if i am sitting there b/c a hvy has me held forever and i get killed. Then it needs to be toned down.

[/ QUOTE ]

Tell ya' what? I'll get two of my good buddies-- Controllers-- and we'll meet up in Recluse's Victory sometime. I know we share a server, so it won't be a pain to find you. None of us will bring Heavies into the battle.

And tell ya' what? Bring one of your own. Get a Heavy, and we'll still destroy you. Because you're an idiot with no grasp of common sense, the English language, or social interaction, as it's been presented.

[ QUOTE ]
You supported the AIG bail out didn't you? B/c you are sure pulling out all the stops to bail out others. And not make them work for there money. I grind out my money and thats fine. I can handle gringind money. But 100mill come on. Its out of hand as is. And needs a major revamp

[/ QUOTE ]

Are you high?

This is a very serious question that I would like an answer to. Are you currently looking at these posts under the influence of weed, or heavy narcotics, such as cocaine, heroin, or any abused pharmacuticals, such as Oxycontin, or Vicodin?

Because you'd have to be to make such a comparison. While I've supported NO bail-outs, it wouldn't make a single difference if I did. This is YOUR problem, not the problem of the government, nor the developers, nor Rachelthulhu, nor Memphis_Bill, nor Aett_Thorn, nor good ol' Siggy.

It's YOUR problem, and now it's more pitiful than anything. Trying to rummage through your posts to find some semblance of an argument is like watching a one-legged man with high hopes trying to run a marathon without prosthetics.

Every once in awhile, the Suggestions forum spits out a nice jewel from the rough.

[ QUOTE ]
More drops would -help-...?

But you're also talking about increasing the speed in which people level, which makes more 50s who "need" more IOs. You're also talking about increased INf. Which means more money to flood the market with. When people want a 100mil IO they'll buy it. And the next time it'll cost more and more and more and more...

-Rachel-

[/ QUOTE ]

You need to understand, Rach, he doesn't care. What he wants is to be GIVEN every last IO set for free, and a free 24/7 powerleveling system.

And then he'll be posting how he needs new level-50 content, because the old Architect stuff is boring.

I would hope it wouldn't take 3 people all attacking a single foe 11 seconds to kill you.

And what in HELL is a Hvy? A Controller? A Defender? Or did Paragon Studios just cook up a new 'Heavy' Archetype while we weren't looking, and gave you some divine insight into their inner workings?

Edit: Nevermind, apparently you're talking about the Controller functions of a Heavy in Recluse's Victory.

Protip? Try Warburg.

If things are dropping more. I aint buying it. But if i got to buy a 100mill recipe like we have now. I can buy it. Without grinding money out

[/ QUOTE ]

Then guess what? Don't buy. It's not our problem, nor that of the Devs. It's your problem.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ok then give us a quartermaster that sells ever IO. At a set cap. So people can over charge like they alrdy do. If your so worried about that. That way i can buy the recipe i want and not pay 100mill. See markets are alrdy out of control. More drops would fix it. B/c there would be more on market and less buying

You're asking people to do work so YOU don't have to do work.

I know it's becoming a bit of a sort of a 'party line' on these conversations, but you need to remember who you're dealing with.

As I've told Bill, it makes the argument a whole lot easier, knowing that the opponent is in an altered (possibly intoxicated) state of consciousness.

Con to your idea:

Players on servers who don't get the boosts get punished for playing their characters.

Players on servers who don't get the boosts must now pay money if they wish to play their characters on servers who do get boosts.

Markets are cross Server (all servers have access to the same market) so players who get more Influence / Infamy for playing on a low population server can out-bid people who are not. This can cause market prices to rise, as people are willing to spend more of what they have because they get more of it, or are more desperate to spend what they have to get something to "keep up with the Jones'".

[/ QUOTE ]

Its not punishing them. Nothing changes for them. If there server stay 3 bubs then they are getting able the same amount as we are.It ain't punishing them. Its rewarding us. You change nothing on a 3 bub server .If enough people leave there server and they drop to 2 bubs then they start getting double.

Markets would balance. If you are getting more drops you are less inclined to spending money for something.

[/ QUOTE ] What about the extra influence/infamy the lower pop servers would get? That would mean they have more spending power than other servers. How is that fair?

[/ QUOTE ]

If they ain't spending its a non-issue. But if they got to spend they can.

[/ QUOTE ]

Do you even realize that the markets are linked together? Cross-server? That means that I, on Guardian, can buy something from someone on Freedom?

And you know what happens if smaller servers get an increase in influence, xp, and drops? Inflation. It doesn't work.

It's called 'balancing'. They DO let people play the game how they want, and they make sure that the next person can do so JUST as much without making the first person feel underpowered. They do this just fine, not that you'd know anything about anything about it.
