Quote:You'd think so, but the price tags on upwards conversion are already making people claim they are "forced to resort to RMT".Originally Posted by Silas
Although having them not tradeable/sellable but purchasable from a NPC would be a very effective inf sink.
I had two Rares and 16 Emp Merits, and rather than play another 14 Trials, I just dropped the 400 mil on conversion and called it a day. -

What horror? That's awesome!
It's like you never took an Internet Hatred 101 class, Sam. -

No.
"Enough warning" would be in size 1200 font, made out of neon lights, mounted on the side of a hill, and surrounded by stadium lights. "Enough warning" would also have stadium-size loudspeakers blasting the CoH theme songs for Heroes, Villains, and Praetorians, with controlled explosions going off behind the whole display to serve as a bass line. -
Quote:You obviously need more willpower. Explain to the other player that people on the forums say commons can't possibly be worth more than 5000 inf, so you won't accept anything above.Originally Posted by Squez
Just drove by and saw this thread. And while reading it this page of it, I listed a Steel for the princely sum of 19 inf. Through my greed, I forced...FORCED, I tell you...some casual player to pay me 1,000,000 for it.

Quote:I once posted in response to one of those people, "you know, if I am selling an item for 5 inf and someone offers 200k for it because they really want it right now, I am literally unable to decline their offer".Originally Posted by Obitus
What's amazing to me is that a seller is so easily accused of greed for deciding the price of an item he owns, but a buyer who desires to set the price of an item someone else owns is so often considered pure as the driven snow.
Seems to me we need a new definition of greed to reconcile that disparity.
They accused me of lacking willpower.

A "glowing tights" set, basically like the current plain tights but doesn't dim in shadowy areas, would be awesome. You could play around with dark and light areas and create all sorts of effects.
I think in general, it would be nice to get less full sets and more generic pieces that can be used for many different effects. -
OP and ED songs from Pretty Cure or Digimon, and a couple other anime. They are cheerful and energetic, and really put me in a great mood, especially if I can sing along (which, alas, is not too often now that I don't live alone).
Here is a playlist! -
Quote:Avant que je puisse etre en jeu avec un personnage, je doit d'abord le rouler! Je voulais seulement savoir comment avertir les forums que j'avait un nouveau personnage ici. Mais merci bien pour l'explication!Originally Posted by Dark_Freeman
En fait, admettons, tu es en jeu, avec un personnage. Tu intègres un groupe, et tu souhaites changer de personnage pour être efficace au groupe en question, si tu dis, "I Roll a character", en anglais, ca donnera : "Je reroll un personnage" en français. Afin de montrer ton action a vouloir déconnecter du jeu pour te reconnecter et changer de personnage (déco/reco)

Merci beaucoup pour le mini-cours!
"Roll a character" veut dire "faire un nouveau personnage" (ca vient des jeux RPG ou on utilise des dees, donc on "roule" un personnage en roulant les dees plusiurs fois). Desormais, je vais rouler un personnage sur Vigilance. ^^ -
Quote:Getting a common does not mean "you didn't participate enough to get a Rare".Originally Posted by Wicked_Wendy
I never got a higher reward than an uncommon, most were commons and on the one trial where IO dc'd I got the dreaded 10 thread reward.
Getting a common means "you participated enough to get a component, and the RNG gave you a common". -
I've been planning on rolling an alt on Vigilance, but I realised that my French education is woefully lacking in phrases like "roll an alt", "lvl 2 lf sewers", "is there a badge channel" and "no I would not like to ERP with you tonight".

Salut tous!
Je suis Polonaise, et j'ai apprit le Francais en ecole maternelle, mais depuis plus de dix ans online je n'ai visite que des sites americans. Mon Francais est un peu rouillee - je parle mieux que j'ecrit, et j'utilise sans doute beaucoup de calques. En plus, j'ignore comment les gens ecrivent online - je ne sais meme pas comment dire que je voudrais "roll a character" sur Vigilance, ou comment annoncer que je "LFT"!
Quelq'un pourrait-il m'aider? -
Fiery wings. Is it even possible? If it is, please consider adding some.

It's almost like the increased supply of salvage from all the new low-level characters is causing prices to lower... hmmm...

Quote:Okay, let's suppose for a moment 8 friends form a Lambda Trial. They push the "begin Trial" button with the expectation of running the Trial with only the 8 people who were on the team. When they zone into the Trial, they found the queue system has added an additional player. The League Leader does not want to kick them, but instead, all eight people leave the Trial and reform as a team. They enter the queue again, and they continue to do so until the system puts them in a Lambda Trial on their own.Originally Posted by Arcanaville
There may not be deliberate malice but there is certainly non-premeditated malice: the league leader has to know kicking the player isn't a positive experience and is explicitly deciding that negative experience is not important relative to their own playing experience. Its not an act that has an unintended consequence that is out of sight or difficult to predict by the league leader, whereupon they could argue they did not foresee the consequences of their actions.
And that is the choice players have to make. You have two options: sacrifice your own control over who you team with and allow another player to join, or preserve your control over who you team with and prevent a player from running the trial with your league, forcing them to return to the queue. The game forces you to choose, but it does not force a specific choice upon you. To change my mind, someone would have to prove the game presented this choice in a manner that the player did not have the free will to voluntarily choose either choice.
The only people saying this is no choice are people who are essentially implying that it is a given the player must always get what they want. In that event, the only choice available is to kick the player. I simply don't subscribe to that axiom, and because I don't I see choices where other people don't see choices. I can choose to compromise to sometimes get what I want, and sometimes not get what I want but allow someone else to get what they want. That philosophy also lies at the core of everything you could claim is a contribution to the game of mine, so that's probably a good thing in general.
In other words, they make the exact same choice between giving up control over the team to play with the adds, or playing exactly as they like. But they make the choice to optimize their play experience in a way that inconveniences *both* parties instead of only one. Is there malice in that? -
Quote:This, pretty much.Originally Posted by Suichiro
This means that they own Massacre Melanie, the Fire Blast/Dark Miasma Corruptor that resides in the Rogue Isles and has adventures burning Paragon City to the ground. They do not own Massacre Melanie the corrupt magical faerie who seethes with arson fill hatred and happens to wear a red leather jacket with combat boots.

Quote:Badge credit is awarded by enemy group. So, only Seers that belong to the group "Seers" will give you credit. The Seers in Lambda belong to the group "IDF units", or something like that.Originally Posted by EmperorSteele
So i have a little bit left to go on the badges for seers and Resistance members. Not a huge deal, they only spawn up to level 20 in Praetoria. But not having these badges allowed me to notice something: The Seers and Resistance members you defeat in the trials DON'T COUNT TOWARDS THE BADGE.
Now, the brainwashed resistance members I can see. After all, they don't fight back. But what about the Seers in the Lambda trial? Why don't they give badge credit? Would the devs really rather i farm level 20 and under lowbie enemies at no risk at all for a badge rather than earn badge credit while defeating a credible threat?
So basically, is this WAI or a bug?
So, I guess the answer is Working As Intended, if not Working As Would Be Most Logical. -
Quote:Well, this is only conjecture, but... what was she supposed to do? Summon them all to Canterlot by royal decree, and go "okay, very soon, the Sealed Evil In A Can will awaken, and the world will plunge into eternal night unless you lot can all be friends by then. No pressure." Not exactly the best conditions for real friendship to grow, there. (Remember how nervous everyone was when she just dropped by for brunch?)Originally Posted by RemusShepherd
Was she monitoring all of the rainboom-enabled ponies, so that she knew exactly where to send Twilight to complete the team? Why did she wait until the threat was imminent? Does she not trust Twilight?
Instead, she waited for Twilight Sparkle to discover the prophecy of Nightmare Moon's return, then sent her to oversee preparations for the festival (preparations which were being led by four of the other five, ensuring that Twilight would meet them, and of course it was quite certain she'd run into Pinkie Pie at some point). And everything flowed smoothly from there.
We see in A Bird In The Hoof that Celestia has a pretty sharp sense of humor. It's fairly obvious both that episode and The Ticket Master were tests set up by her to let her young student and her friends learn some valuable lessons. She's a bit of a Trickster Mentor that way. -
Was just a thought. My first month in City of Heroes (just before Issue 5), I was gifted something like 50 million inf (a dizzing sum to me at the time) by a more senior player. It's kind of left a lasting impression on me.
The Component creation is pretty obviously an inf sink, but it doesn't seem like it's quite in the right place to catch the inf that's amassed in the game. Well, maybe eventually the tweaks to the drop tables will make it a non-issue. -
So apparently some people are not getting any Rare or Very Rare components from the Incarnate trials. They have piles of Uncommons and Threads, but they balk at the price tag. A hundred million? *Four* hundred million? Surely the only way to get that kind of money is to either farm until your eyes bleed, or pay a RTMer!
If you guys are trying to burn up hundreds of billions of Inf on Prestige, surely you don't mind dropping a bil or two on someone who promises to flush it down the Component sink? You could require screenshots to prove they will really use it up on Components and not put it right back on the market.
(Personally, I'm good, I have a couple billion between my 50s, and I can always run some Tips and gather up Hero Merits for more.) -
Quote:You could ask on the Market & Invention forums. They have a project where they've been destroying hundreds of billions of Inf by buying up Prestige across various servers. I'm sure they can spare a few billion if you promise to take it out of the game by buying up components.Originally Posted by Pockets
No. As much as I'd love to have just one character, my main, have V rares in each slot, its not worth the, lets see.
100 mil for each rare, 4 rares per V rare, that what, 1.6 billion?
400 mil per V rare, need 4 of those. Thats another 1.2 billion?
Are you seriously suggesting I grind up 2.8 billion inf that could be spent on far more useful things? Mind you, I don't have a farming character, nor do I find farming enjoyable in any way, I already have a job.
